Why the fuck do videogame developers both eastern and western almost exclusively use celtic language and names when they want to make their setting and characters more exotic?
I'm so tired of this shit I'd take ugandan names at this point
Jackson Ramirez
especially elves
Adrian Wright
"Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemuhwem Osas, The Holy Prince" Yeah no thanks.

Koudelka on the PS1 is set in Wales, but the dub gave the characters American accents
Henry Wright
because greek and roman shit is overused as well
I guess you could go for more slavic mythology shit though
Lincoln Nelson
Gwyn means "blessed" in Welsh.
James Parker
oh wow, i guess it makes sense now
Lucas Hall

Probably because even in the real world Welsh characters are rare and underappreciated. Now think of how few people video games represent, and also how much more exceptional than a real person you have to be to be memorable, and then you'll come to the conclusion that all of us have.
That Wales is shit, the Welsh are shit, and I swear if I catch that faggot Welshman balls-deep in my sheep again there'll be pork in the Shepard's pie.
Austin Walker
didn't it meant "white"?
I distinctly remember Geralt in the Witcher being called Gwynbleydd by the elves which supposedly meant "white wolf"
Eli Russell
Yes.
>inb4 the other fag starts protesting and LARPing as a "REAL WELSHMAN!"
Adrian Rivera
Yes, white is the more literal definition, but it also means holy or blessed.
Juan Barnes
Double jew
Jacob Mitchell
So it probably means "Blessed" in the Cornish Briton dialect and "White" in the Welsh. That proves nothing.
Caleb Hill
I disagree , there is not enough good roman shit out there
Cooper Hughes
>t.
Kayden Murphy
roman mythos is mostly just unfinished poems and recolored greek fanart OCs anyways
Colton Perry
Do people in Wales still speak welsh regularly?
I thought that shit was as dead as Irish gaelic in Ireland or Scottish Gaelic in Scotland
Not an anglo by the way so my ignorance is excused
Austin Smith
It's 50/50, it's still the primary language on signs.
Anthony Williams
>Do people in Wales still speak welsh regularly?
Yes, it's really common.
Christian Watson
Welsh is a dying language. Only my grandpa can speak it.
Jonathan Lewis

Colton Price
NIA GANG RISE UP
David Bailey
That whole island besides England is underappreciated.

It's os fucking cool we got a character like Father Ariandel - that thick as shit accent.
Side note, I really wish Dark Souls and Dragon's Dogma weren't the only games that use that old Middle English without getting too Shakespeare about it. I daresay the Soulsborne series did a really good job keeping interest for that sort of English alive.

Isn’t King Arthur welsh? Why did the anglos steal him as their own
Josiah Gutierrez
pretty sure Shakespeare is Early Modern English
Anthony Cooper
King Arthur is fictional and didn't exist so no one "stole' him.
Ethan Miller

Wyatt Miller
No it’s fucking not, you have no idea what you’re talking about
