The new Maleria quest, it needs better dialogue. She's an evil goddess, annoyed that you have broken into her home without permission. Yet, when you get the quest, she says NICE things.
"I would greatly appreciate it if you brought me these items as quickly as possible!" instead of saying something like: bring this to me right away or feel my wrath
When she grants you your reward, she says. Thank you for bringing me these items! instead of saying something like: You're help is barely sufficient, but I will grant you this anyways
Just because she's an evil goddess doesn't mean she can't be polite.
Seems harsh, I wouldn't say nice either.
I'm thinking that is generic to every quest? I wouldn't mind if it was changed, but it really doesn't bother me
Meh. Personally I could care less what she says. It really has no effect on anything.
Her tone of voice could be dripping with venom and sarcasm even if her choice of words sounds nice on the surface.
And if Maleria does get a word change 'feel my wrath' and 'but I will grant you this anyway' (in the obvious nonchalant tone) are both way too cliche. Maleria has a dainty and rather alluring side if you look at her imagery. She uses sweet words to paint her paragraph and mangles them in with anger and authority. She calls you my dear, she says swift wings and birds are almost always a sign of beauty and something majestic. Her word choice has a hint of girlishness that would feel just as wrong if you slap generic super villain catch phrases on. (Even if her current text isn't the most unique)
