Here's an idea for languages. Lets say this occurs:

**You say, in Elfen, "Hi there, friend! Let's get drunk!"

How about they see, if they do not know the language:

**Bob says something in a beautiful, fluid tongue which you cannot understand.

And change it up a bit for each race?

So that at least we have a general feeling aboutwhat the languages sound like. We all understand it is unintelligible to us. But what do we hear?

And thats my case. Must sleep. drunk.gif

It would be neat if languages were like in Imperian, where if you don't understand it you get, say... "Loboshigaru says something in a low, rumbling tone, interspersed by whines and yips." I always thought that that was quite cool, and much better than the 'something unintelligible' thing.


Yep, I made that suggestion on the last page...

Drawing from Jasato mentioning diplomats, what if language or race affected influencing? So if someone spoke furrikini or had an illusion on that made them look like a furrikin, they would have a stronger influence on denizens in Estelbar.

I think this is an excellent idea!

Edit: Actually, scratch the addition. Bad idea. removed!
