Why does this game have everything be British?

Are From all teaboos?

In my game everyone has a weird Spaniard accent, but that's because I'm playing it with Spanish audio.

More like German, Italian, French and Spanish. There is little English influence if any.
>>
does anyone else get really weird flickering in the lighting when moving? What the fuck is wrong with the AA in this game?
>>
>>334944483
A lot of the armor is quite English looking. Besides, most of medieval Europe was quite similar in architecture. The differences were more north/south than they were to do with the country.
>>
>>334943925
>Why does this game use proper english
hmm
>>
>>334944483
The architecture in the undead burg/ parish is english, so is most of the knight style armor. Anor londo is based off that cathedral in germany but the ones in england are pretty much indentical anyway

Can someone explain something to me:

Was Gwyn a human? Were his kids humans? Why are they all so big?

Also where did the dragons come from?
>>
>>334945242
Gwyn was a god and the dragon always existed
>>
>>334945029
and a jew sell- oh wait
>>
>>334945242
Dragons always were there. Gwyn isn't human, neither are his Knights. It's not actually made clear how big he/his children are because the devs said they just made some bosses big so the fights would work, and they may not actually be that big story wise. And yeah, he had 3 children with some unknown god
>>
>>334945531
Is priscilla one?
>>
>>334944081
Wait, there are dubs for DaSIII?
I know there were for BB, but that sounds new to me.
>>
>>334945628
She's either one of seaths experiments or seaths child with an unknown god. Not gwyns. His are the god of war (the broken statue at the sunlight altar), gwyndolin and gwynevere
>>
>>334945242

Also, is the Soul of Cinder from DSIII reqlly the protag from DS1? How did that happen?
>>
>>334946142
He's a manifestation of everyone who has ever linked the flame, so the chosen undead is in there, unless you believe the chosen undead is you rising as a lord of cinder from your grave at the start

Because it's medieval / fantasy you dumbass.
>>
>>334949336
"Modern english" refers more to the language's mechanics and vocabulary currently spoken and perceived as the norm. Accent are another thing entirely.

Most of medieval-ish settings choose an RP accent (or queens english) cause it's considered by many to be the original and proper way to speak and sounds quite comprehensible and clear to non-native speakers.

>>334947986
You can't make us, mate.

It's heavily implied by both NPCs and certain enemies that once you get past a certain level of power the more powerful your soul gets the physically bigger you get

Demon's Souls is set in Scotland. e.g. Boletaria = Edinburgh/Stirling

Dark Souls is set in England e.g. Blight Town = Swindon/Wolverhampton/Croydon etc., Anor Londo = Canterbury

Dark Souls 2 is set in Wales e.g. Majula = Snowdonia

Dark Souls 3 = ?
>>
>>334943925
Because the British accent feels more authentic in the medieval setting. It isnt historical accuracy as much as it is world building.

Because British voice-acting suits the grim tone of the games.

Actually the english gradually started adopting a non-rhetoric accent during the 18th century before that english was rhetoric not necessarily american by any means but definately not the modern english accent.

Because "medieval=british" is a meme and our culture expects it. There is literally no reason that everyone on game of thrones, for example, cant speak with american accents, but that would break the meme.

>80% of chests are mimics, we've come to the point where the real ones are the mimics among chests
>multiplayer is bugged 50% of the time, eg. can't enter the fog
>zero build variety, the game even punishes you if you decide to swap your starter armor of the knight
>only viable weapons are the bastard sword and dark sword throughout the whole game

The design and textures are nice, the world feels comfy, some bosses were well designed and also challenging but that's all the pros.
Finished it in 25 hours but I don't think I will ever touch it again, even DaS 2 was better.

No m8, just the cathedral, and actually Lincoln Cathedral is more like Anor Londo.

I know the actual inspiration is Milan Cathedral but whatever.

Honestly, my favourite part of the game for aesthetic was this, where it has one completely random room that's in a much more modern (almost Georgian) style for no reason.

The worlds in dark souls and game of thrones never existed, either. You cant say american accents would be immersion-breaking when there are fucking dragons and zombies and shit walking around.

>>
>>334965927
>really like the way it uses western medieval history
the aesthetic is the only thing "western" about it. The music also, kinda. The rest of the game is autistic fantasy shit. They dont do much writing and dialogs so they dont fall as hard as other nipponese.
>>
>>334965712
Nashandra is on the left wall, I thought this game took place before 2?
>>
>>334966629
The fantasy stuff is pretty much based on western folklore though, more so than nip stuff.

Also, you have to remember that the translation was done by Brits, and they really have a massive influence on how the story goes. Miyazaki even says that they would say things that he'd implement later.

non-rhotic accents did start in the upper classes but before the 18th century no one enunciated like that, there was no posh accent before the 1600s

I hate this meme. It assumes every English accent is BBC english.

I always assumed everyone sounded English simply because the game was translated in England. You know, like Xenoblade
