    What he actually said was that they like to use older terms and go out of their way to not use modern terms (and I just rewatched it to make sure).

    At no point did he talk about their being a medieval theme they use or adhere to - he did mention that the specific instance of that naming - Dueling Circle - came from a particular inspiration, and that inspiration does happen to be medieval. A variety of item names almost certainly have a similar inspiration, though those items probably should as those items are clearly inspired in design by those medieval items (weapons and armor being the most common example). But no, he doesn't talk about a medieval theme, he talks about their predilection for using terms that aren't modern.

    Oh, that's hilarious. In trying to make your point you just reinforced mine.

    They don't have a medieval theme for the dialog. They simply avoid using modern terms. Not modern does not mean medieval. Phrases popular in the 1870s? Not modern. Phrases popular in the 1750s? Not modern. Phrases popular in the 1910s? Not modern. None of those are medieval, and I can almost certainly find an example of dialog that fits any of those criteria.

    Noticing a trend?
