I’m going to hazard a guess that the people that wrote this were American and the people that voice acted for it were also American, because this is not ‘period speech’. It is just flat-out bad English.

I know a lot of DARK SOULS fans have been playing it and I am certainly one of them, but I have to say that the demo is not representative of the game at all. For one, there is nowhere near enough walking! It almost seems unfair to compare the two games side-by-side— both are Western-stlye RPGs made by Japanese studios, yet remain miles apart in terms of gameplay, tone, scope, quality and polish. This, naturally, is not necessarily a bad thing, but I wouldn’t be fast to put them both in the same basket.Dogma sadly falls into the Skyrim trap of storytelling. By giving you a sizeable world, cramming it full of people and giving them all at least one line, they fail to make anyone truly interesting. You are the chosen one and everyone around you exists to acknowledge that. Character arcs are disjointed and magic into happening through the magic of teleportation, mostly carried out through tedious escort missions wherein your charge is more likely to get mauled by the Chimera you swear you just killed in the woods than make it to the destination in one piece. Once there, they disappear, leaving you with some money and nary a word.It also has a pace that can only be described as ‘non-urgent’. In fact, the game tells you itself that something things happen at different times, but gives you no indication whatsoever. Sometimes, quests seem to time out and forget to tell you— those nuns in the Abbey are seriously nonplussed about their supposed Ogre problem, let me tell you. All I found were Chimeras and leisurely strolls to the river!As much as I may gripe, I’ve been enjoying this time sink— when it’s come down to about £20, I shall pick up a new copy. It’s not quite a £40 launch week purchase for me, delightful as it may be!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4z1kbn8pv1qipwwyo1_400.jpg)
