Say "gadzooks" again motherfucker, I dare you!

About to give up on GreedFall, among my many major and minor complaints I'm getting sick of being called an anal-men-owie. There's a reason most RPGs which create a designation for the player (to facilitate voiceovers, usually) opt for some aggressively passive, forgettable term like "watcher" or "warden" or just address you as hero or adventurer. Don't try to get cute or clever with a term if you're going to wind up repeating it gratuitously a thousand times over during the campaign until players are ready to print it out and strangle you with it... ekera!

On-ol-menawi, ekera, a brillig nonsense word only gets mome outgribing nonsensical if you keep repeating it like an slithy renaigse, ekera!
