    Yes, thank you, my layman's viewpoint stands corrected, and I shall use the correct term next time. Despite my incorrect choice of term, I believe everything else I said to be applicable and correct.

    Given your clear knowledge on the subject, I'd be interested in your opinion on OP's two questions, which you didn't really answer at all. That kinda makes me feel like you just wanted to show me up for the incorrect term.

    So:

    - Is the language appropriate for an NPC other than Urianger? I feel it's just fine for any NPC to say 'doth', but you didn't touch on this.

    - Despite all the details, history and context provided, you fail to state whether the in-game language of 'doth' is appropriate in the dungeon dialogue OP is referencing. I mean, I now know how the language relates to the King James bible and how Koji tends to follow Shakespearean constructs, which is wonderful, but the question still stands: is 'doth' appropriate in the trust dungeon?

    You imply that it is, to an extent, but a solid 'yes' or 'no' might be more useful. I've already suggested that the language is appropriate and correct in my post from yesterday; you neither acknowledged, dismissed, or otherwise chose to address my statements that the syntax and grammar are/were correct and appropriate.

    Thanks.

    I am not on the localisation team. And although I personally feel that 'Shtola could use it for any number of reasons, including being around Urianger so much that his patterns of speech have rubbed off a little, it's not possible for me to comment if it's appropriate. Only the localisation team can answer that one for sure. And that's why i didn't touch it.

    I was specifically answering the second part of question posed by Aurelie where she asked if it should be "doth" or "appeareth".

    Please don't feel slighted you were corrected. To sleight you wasn't my intention in any way or form.
