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.
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.
