I could already tell you the results.

Spoiler

99% of games are made for retarded 13 year old xbox kids.

What I did like a lot in Tyranny are the companions.

At one point while I was playing Tyranny, I decided that the writing was impossibly bad, so I opened up its dialogue files and dumped all words into a cloud generating software. The program created a cloud of unique words and it was this tiny cloud where I could see all the unique words from the entire game - the software concluded that the game had the vocabulary of an 8 year old. The most used words were "man, woman, fight, overlord, Fatebinder" and most of its words were 1-2 syllables long, so kids and bydlo would be comfortable with it.

Holy shit, this is awesome.

Then I dumped Black Company books in that software to compare and there was a drastic difference, the Black Company book series was apparently oriented towards 13 year olds and had twice the unique vocabulary and the words were generally longer.

Boy was I not surprised.

Do the same with Planescape Torment and tell us the results. Then we will judge how accurate is that.

i've never played Tyranny but i must say this is a stupid way of judging the quality of a game's writing, bloated vocabulary doesn't make for good writing whatsoever, and is sometimes used as a cheap way for writers make whatever crap they're writing seem more impactful or important then it actually is.

Lucky, classic vein-throbber right there.

Some of the writers i enjoy the most keep their vocabulary simple, not that i don't enjoy the opposite, vocabulary and writing quality aren't the same thing.

As for Tyranny, i didn't mind the writing but i'm not a native speaker (i play most video games in english) and i don't expect to read Alexander Pushkin, Jean-Paul Sartre or Percival Everett when i play a cRPG, just some decent/good writing for a video game.
