Repeated Merm Dialogue

[YouKnowWho]

I was updating the wiki when I noticed that Merms have an awful lot of repeated dialogue. For example, the strings file has a separate "Will come with you" and "Make Mermfolk strong!" for every non-combat related entry, even if they're just eating food from off the floor. This is why they seem to repeat the same thing over and over.

It's like they have the memory of a goldfish. Maybe that's the joke, but it's a shame given how much more invested Wurt players are with Merm Culture. In the future, I hope Merms can be given just a little more personality.

Yeah, they dont say much.

It's honestly a little strange to me that the translated Mermish uses broken grammar given they are speaking their native tongue. It's not like Wurt or Merm king where they are speaking a language foreign to them.

By the way, this is very, very well noticed, for other characters it's still Gibberish, so what they say without mistakes makes sense

Wurt paid attention in merm grammar school. Nobody else did.

Their native tounge is probably like cavemen language for us.
