Klei, please consider fixing Wormwood's new quotes.

[Eggsterminator]

I know that we've been here before, and I might've come off too strong then, for which I apologize, but regardless, Wormwood's recent batch of quotes has come to bug me, as well as several other users. It just sounds out of character in comparison with the rest of his quotes, and the frequent use of "me" does not match with his usual way of speaking at all.

As one user pointed out, three of his recent quotes resemble Wurt's speech pattern more than they do his, which might confuse players and make the two appear far less unique as characters.

Don't get me wrong, though, I appreciate that he sounds more emotional now, and most of his new quotes sound pretty great! I just wish certain phrases with "me" in them could be matched closer with his usual speech pattern.

For example:

Spoiler

 WAGPUNK_LEVER = "Safe? No afraid, me pull",

Could be replaced with something like:

 WAGPUNK_LEVER = "Safe? Not afraid, will pull!",

And

 GESTALT_GUARD_EVOLVED = "No mad! Be me friend!",

Could be rephrased into

 GESTALT_GUARD_EVOLVED = "Don't be mad! Let's be friends!", 

Or

GESTALT_GUARD_EVOLVED = "Don't be mad! Can't be friends?!", 

As for this last one

LUNAR_SEED = "Small Night Ball! Me here, me here",

LUNAR_SEED = "Small Night Ball! Here! Here!",

It'd be really great if you guys could fix that, if only to cause less confusion between Wormwood and Wurt's speech patterns.

Other than that, I'm really happy with where the update is going! I'm personally a huge fan of lunar-related stuff, so I'm definitely excited to see this update released!

Couldn't agree more. Doesn't even have to be much. "Safe?" is Wormwood enough, adding the "not afraid, will pull!" is very Wurtlike.

Greater Gestalt Guard could be more align with the Greater Gestalt saying something like, "I protect friends!" (referencing Greater Gestalt quote, "Protect.")

Lunar seed could reference it is called a 'seed' to something like, "Aw... Baby Night Ball. Coo-chie-coo!" sure that is a mish mash between pinecone and a held spore, but still feels more like Wormwood to me.

NGL 2 people with virtually the same picture agreeing eeeehhhh. ^^ Anyway I wasn't aware of these new quotes but I can't recall Wormwood ever referring to themselves. I always love it when they seem a bit afraid since they are so incrredbly young and know very little being born in the constant. The curiosity yet unfamiliarity of their reveal trailer is amaizing and should be continued.

Dude that's so true, just the "Safe?" would sound way more like wormwood said it.

Yeah! Those sound good too! :]

Anything but "be me friend".

auuuughhhh not wormwood too... i've noticed the grasp on some of the quotes slipping for a while, it's sad to see that there's even more than i thought ToT i could easily believe that these are wurt quotes

Yeah... It's very unfortunate that Klei is disregarding the character quotes so much recently :T

The new content is fun, but we can't forget about this game's main charm, which are its characters and their personalities.

[Echsrick]

i think a solution would be that each part of dev picks a couple of characters AND ONLY stick with them and writing quotes for them...as that might just be better

Wish granted. From the latest update:

- CHESSPIECE_WORMBOSS = "Don't eat me!",
+ CHESSPIECE_WORMBOSS = "Don't eat!",


- WAGPUNK_LEVER = "Safe? No afraid, me pull",
+ WAGPUNK_LEVER = "Danger?",


- GESTALT_GUARD_EVOLVED = "No mad! Be me friend!",
+ GESTALT_GUARD_EVOLVED = "Why friend mad? Why friend not friend?",


- LUNAR_SEED = "Small Night Ball! Me here, me here",
+ LUNAR_SEED = "Love Baby Night Ball! Love!",

Getting further into it Wormwood said "Me" for the first time a few years ago for one of the Kitcoon variants added in year of the Catcoon, something that I thought was incredibly weird at the time, and they've added "me" in several lines afterwards, it feels nitpicky but it does strike me as strange. Glad to see they changed it

Absolutely amazing quote!!!! Thanks Klei!

"Love Baby Night Ball! Love!"

WOOHOO!!! THIS IS GREAT! These are much better than they were before, thank you, Klei!
