Message: [QUOTE="UnDubious, post: 217121, member: 4030"] Wildbill isn't even a translator, he's an editor who thinks he's an author - someone else does the actual translation in his group, and he literally credits himself as "English story writer" in their projects. He will throw in shitty jokes that he will then call attention to, generally make dialogue worse with his awful writing style, and, as you mentioned, throw in political garbage. He did this in a few different games, but Shell Monsters is the worst that I recall. Some of it is more subtle but definitely wasn't in the original game - rants about "incompatible cultures" that "hate us for our freedoms" IIRC, or the angry rant about neutrality in times of war in FEDA (he was mad about France not joining the war in Irak when he wrote that). But sometimes he'll straight up have NPCs talk about FEMA or some shit. There isn't that much of that stuff, all in all, but combined with the bad dialogue, it's enough that I've decided not to play Dynamic Designs translations anymore. There are tons of great fan translations, theirs are the only ones I will not play on principle (along with garbage AI stuff). To answer your question, sure, share it. Who cares if they don't like it, they had no problem denaturing the games they translated, did they? [/QUOTE]
