I'm referring to Napoleon's silly accent, of course.

Amusingly, his voice actor, Tercelin Kirtley, was born in the US according to his imdb. Looking through his filmography, he works mostly in french, except for video game's credits (Quantic Dream). So the accent is a decision of the french director. I'm curious what a Corsican accent would sound in English though.

Louis 2 is so boned when we need help from Washington or the Duchess.

If we had not stared at boons and left her stuff alone, could we have passed?

(Mind you, Louis being a horny pervert is funnier)

Italian was the official language of Corsica until 1859 and the Corsican language is related to Italian dialects, so Napoleon would have most likely sounded to our ears as an Italian. He was bullied for struggling with French as a child and even as an adult he never learned to write French well and had a distinct Corsican accent when he spoke (which was quickly, loudly, and in short sentences).

QUEST 3.



Here's a big business breakfast with most of the cast, so speculation is no longer off the table. Mortimer's hiding, until Episode 2. Godoy... Godoy... is fashionably late.

There's still one more quest to Episode 1.

Boy I love this pacing! Having the Elizabeth Adams conversation (with plenty of Abigail Adams slander) followed by the servant sure feels natural.

At 29:56 you can spot the Gates of Hell next to Saturn's painting, the sculptor is Auguste Rodin. Lots of anachronistic art.

I'm looking forward to just how hosed up his face can get, personally. I didn't think I'd be enjoying seeing just how far things can go wrong.

Got to this thread late but just caught up. I'm digging this game. Usually not a fan of talking adventure games, but something about this ones got charm and you're putting in good effort to show it all off. Glad I found the thread.

Battler, the literal stupidest man on earth. Why are you even here, Battler, why did you come back to this place so you could fuck literally everything up?
Right? There's some great chemistry between Louis and Emily here.

"A crown of nettles."

Louis I: Laudanum is actually already alcohol! Well, opium in alcohol. So that's a combo. Also what the gently caress.
The secret room was interesting though.

Louis II: Eh.

Louis IV: You poor failure. Also, WHAT THE gently caress.

I wonder: who is the cameo pendant a cameo of? Or what, I suppose.

Clearly, Louis IV should stay dead up to that chapter that unlocked but until then, the other new twin brother, Louis V or other appropriate number should continue on up to that point by surviving this encounter by being only slightly more brilliant.

That is, if you can copy profiles or something, because I am VERY curious on why you can keep going.

If they didn't have 'I was executed' in the objectives I would've said you were just severely wounded and unconscious for the next few episodes, considering how low Jacques was aiming.

Normally I don't make aesthetic criticisms in other peoples' homes, but that rug looks like a beaver exploded. If meat is murder, then that rug is at least a severe beating.
Oh, I see that I don't have to watch the episode now after these last few posts...

If you're not already watching the IV episodes just for the experience of Louis making extremely bad decisions rather than the final outcome I don't know what to tell you. I'm gonna ease off on the detaill, though.

I've watched and voted. In future though, can people keep to the no spoiler rule in the OP? For instance: The death of the protagonist, even if it isn't the main playthrough.
