    Or, use this as an opportunity to LEARN NEW WORDS. Folks dont yell at authors for using a big word in a book that they dont know... NO, they either skip it or look it up or make an inference (guess) based on the content/context where the word was used.
    You dont have to carry a dictionary. I'm sure you have a smartphone or a computer. Search engines are your friend.

    PS> From a quick google search.
    Puissant:
    having great power or influence.

    English isn't even my first language and I can understand it just fine. You talk like a twitter teenager in your post, it's really not that difficult. Learn some words if you can't understand it or at least try and grasp it from the context it is spoken in. See it as an opportunity to learn.

    BroFists is sitting in his Chesterfield wing chair nearby a cozy fireplace in his library dating back to the 16th century, gently closing the lid of his MacBook. As the background lighting of the display slowly vanishes, you can make out a gentle smile on his face... As he puts the computer away, he leans back and tumbles his whiskey while you keep getting baited day for day. . . *cracking wood in the fireplace* *camera pans out*

    Remember, people, you have at your fingertips the greatest public repository of information in the history of humanity. It can, in fact, be used for more than memes and porn.

    If someone's main language is not English then yes some of the words may seem odd - then again I have seen some non-native English speakers use correct words but words that most would consider archaic in today's world. The thing is I consider the use of complex words and grammar to be a bonus for such people as it broadens their horizons and introduces them to new words in this crazy language that quite often makes no sense whatsoever.

    I think its refreshing. Not everything needs to be written at a 5th grade reading level.

    It's sad how much colour and information people miss because they're not interested enough in learning to go and look things up. And this in an age when looking something up is as easy as pressing a button.

    More than that, if you consider the players that click-through without reading, and those that avoid “unnecessary” side-quest content.
