    This is Early Modern English also called Elizabethan english or Shakesperean English. It is a precursor to our modern english.

    It's funny because the language in DS1 is nonsense, just "eth" and "est" added on to random words trying to sound cool, but the language in DS3 is perfectly correct. Yes, I had this video recommended to me years later for mysterious reasons.

      While I think DS3 is generally better at accurately using Early Modern English than DS1, there are still errors. For example, in this dialogue Sister Friede says "thou seemeth not" which is incorrect. It should be "thou seemest not."

      @@oddlang687 Yeah, I've noticed a few even in Elden Ring, like where Ranni says "thine" in places that call for "thy." It's still leaning toward words that seem fancier.

      Thankfully for Dark Souls, its universe and characters are fictional, so their English doesn't need to be correct. Clearly their alphabet is completely different than ours; maybe their spoken language is just very similar to English, but not quite the same. Is it a contrived excuse for a poorly researched language? Probably, but it's a plausible theory nonetheless.

    I can't help but wonder if it's still pronounced "s" and not literally "eth" to terminate a word, so "seeks" instead of "seeketh". We don't know what Shakesperian English actually sounded like since it predates sound recordings by a good 250 years or so, and "eth" did eventually morph into "s" in writing. I don't know; I still think people literally pronouncing the "eth" while trying to speak Ye Olde Englishe is silly.
    Also this showed up in my recommended for some reason, so there.

    Giving players free control of the camera during story conversations is a mistake. I NEVER enjoyed watching the livestreams of this game because the majority of players NEVER let the camera sit still for more than two seconds.
    If they became a cameraman in any movie and they behave like this, they'll get fired on the spot.

    • @G2000TEK
      @G2000TEK  3 года назад +5

      Fair enough, and thank you for your comment!
      In some games the audio changes if you rotate the camera and for example in those games it's fun to play around with it. Also when you listen to the same conversation so many times it starts to get boring, so it's normal to play around with the camera. I understand that it's annoying to watch someone else do it, but it's fun if you do it yourself (or maybe not for you at least). If such a small thing annoys you then I recommend just playing the game yourself cause it's an incredible game 👍

      Of which vertu engendred is the flowr;
      Whan Zephyrus eek with his sweete breethe
      Inspired hath in every holt and heethe
      The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
      Hath in the Ram his halve cours yronne,
      And smale fowles maken melodye
      That sleepen al the night with open y6--
      So priketh hem Nature in hir corages--
      Thanne langen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
      And palmeres for to seeken straunge strondes
      To ferne halwes, couthe in sondry londes;
      And specially from every shires ende
      Of Engelond to Canterbury they wende,
      The holy blisful martyr for to seeke
      That hem hath holpen whan that they were seke."
