Question 13
July, 2021 - [No Link]
A: Originally, we were thinking that the different groups in Dereth would speak different languages that would be unintelligible to each other. So chat from someone that was Sho would be garbled if you were Aluvian. The linguistics skill was your ability to 'translate' those other languages. In practice, this was just a bad idea, and we realized, thankfully, that creating barriers to player communication was not fun.
Q: In another early screenshot, there is a skill shown called Linguistics. What was this skill to be used for?
