Is there actually strong language

[Se7en]

Steam rated it for strong language. I remember playing this on Xbox and it wasn’t that bad but I could be wrong.

Also there is a mod that removes instances of bad language:

I don’t have a huge problem with it I just wondered why the store page said strong language cause I remember playing it and there wasn’t that much

It’s there, but the lines are few and far inbetween, so (at least in my experience) it’s barely noticeable when they do swear lol.

There isn't enough, luckily there is a mod for that:

Yes, I know that is the consensus here. i just disagree. If you google Whale Piper, literally all of the results are either DRG or Bart Hoenders. It's not a phrase that exists outside of this game, at least not to the vast majority of the world.

I also don't think that definition fits the tone of the game at all. Literally none of the other voice lines are explicitly sexual in nature. You could make an argument for "you carry a load well Molly", but that's a double entendre at worst.

I can't even find any results for the word "piper" being used the way you are saying.

I think you’re just being willfully ignorant at this point, no offense. What else could it mean? The voice line is said when you get shot by a teammate, and it is used as an insult at the teammate who shot you.

“Piped” is slang for “f-ed”(I’m not going to link it, just type that plus “urban dictionary”), so piper means “f-er”, and thus “whale piper” means “whale f-er”. There is literally no other way to interpret it lol.

Urban dictionary is more of a comedy site rather than a legitimate source for citation. There are a vast number of explicit slang terms listed that don't exist outside of meme urban dictionary entries.

I've never heard anyone use "piped" in the way you've suggested. It may or may not actually be used that way, but I've seen no credible evidence of it - and in any case it doesn't carry the same unambiguous meaning as (for example) "shafted", which is in common use and in unmistakably suggestive.

Your interpretation is far from the only way "whalepiper" could be interpreted. The problem is that we have very little context for a possible meaning of the phrase, which I believe is intentional. There are a number of other "nonsense" vernacular terms the dwarves throw around (Great Krakuul, gobblesnarks, burstpuff), into which "whalepiper" fits quite comfortably. We aren't supposed to know what it means.

By the way, I believe the actual explicit voice line is most likely "Unkaar's balls", which is quite unambiguous, much more so than "whalepiper".

I think "whalepiper" is probably a traditional term for a dwarven miner, perhaps a novice miner specifically, or perhaps a term for a person who is overly reckless and eager to "blow off steam", similar to how a whale blows water from it's blowhole. These are all possible definitions supported by the context of how the term is used, and at least as likely as your interpretation (and in my opinion, much more so).

Yours is certainly not the only interpretation.

So you’re going to discredit urban dictionary because it has meme entries? This isn’t a college level debate lol, it’s about one voice line in a video game… I also have heard the term “piped” quite often throughout various media, places online, and IRL as well, and it has a similar meaning to “shafted”(which typically is used to describe being betrayed/screwed over), so what’s your point?

Interpret it however you want, but a good deal of the community agrees that it means what I described.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pipe#English

"pipe" -> "piped"/"piping" -> "laying down pipe"; All of which is slang that is in use, most commonly known being the latter phrase.

"Whale piper" is ambiguous just because you don't see "whale" and "pipe" used together and mashed into the same word.

"Whale" is easy to translate to "big" or "fat". No question.

"Pipe" just has so many meanings that you can freely interpret the entire phrase as "fat ♥♥♥♥♥♥", "fat liar/embellisher", "fat whiner", "fat piper [literal pipe layer]"... Or whatever.

Though there's only one line in the game that has it...

"Trigger discipline, you whale piper!" (Context: Friendly Fire)

So in context I assume "whale piper" is just an eloquently toned down "fat ♥♥♥♥♥♥" that can easily escape censors.

"Unkaar's Balls" is something more fantasy/lore... There's a few named deities/ancestors in the voicelines with no context.

[RENGOKU]

Honestly, I had always assumed whale piper was their equivalent of calling someone an old man.

And this is just because of ingame context, you call someone that if they friendly fire you, but when you’re retrieving a lostpack, one of the lines is we will get your gear home whale piper.

[ReaperLord]

The vulgar term for excrement is used, at least in refining missions.

Literally EVERYTHING means something sexual on urban dictionary...

There are also pipes made of whale bones, so whether its meant to be a swear or not, OP can imagine its just being a poor fisherman with a whale pipe.

Maybe less than a dozen lines.

Mostly "♥♥♥♥♥", "damn" and "bastard" are the strongest in the game.

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Voicelines
https://deeprockgalactic.fandom.com/wiki/Voicelines (has removed voicelines which have more serious swearing)

EDIT: In terms of F-words... "FU-" is not in the game, been scrubbed. "FA-" was never in the game.

To be fair, "♥♥♥♥♥" is not that strong of a swear, and is not considered a swear at all in some places, in the UK.

"You ugly son of a b****"

It's funny with DRG because the amount of strong language can vary so much in the neutered sense, likely depending on what stage of the game they were added in during development.

Like, I'm sure the devs opinion on using strong language has changed a lot over time, maybe. I'd say it's only natural to.
Overall I think the game still has a coherence of dialogue that shouldn't put off a lot of people, even if you are sensitive to strong language.
It's always good to rate games with some wiggle room in mind though.

ill never understand why people are so sensitive to cursing these days

[Muscles]

No one drops the F bomb but "♥♥♥♥" is muttered often by the player characters
