i have a question (major spoilers of main quest)

[flemingluiz]

i dont know if it is my poor english but im the only one who didnt understood like 90% of what resheph sayed?

Resheph speaks in quite a strange manner and doesn't really seem to care whether you understand him or not. I speak English as my main language and while I understood enough to be satisfied, it took some careful reading, and there was still a lot of things I didn't understand

I don't know what the year is when your character sets out, but Resheph was said to be 216 when he died. He would have learned to speak over 200 years ago at minimum. Language changes quite a lot over that amount of time.

The developers probably made Resheph speak in some fake-archaic way to account for the fact that he would be using a much older version of the language that people in Qud are speaking.

The game starts in 1001 AR. Resheph dissolved the sultanate in 1 AR and is said to have "died" in 6 AR, meaning it's been 995 years since Resheph has left Qud.

Well then, it's amazing that we can understand him at all. Verbal communication should be next to impossible.
