You can see in the video, the player selects "prepare to be boarded" but guybrush starts talking with "heave to..." and all that. I don't know why this has become the norm in games that have convo trees. When I choose a sentence I expect to hear the character say it, if not only to assure myself that i actually DID choose that sentence and my hand didn't slip or something, but mostly because it just makes sense. Am I the only one who's bothered by this?
Also, doesn't the captain's shirt remind you of Prince Alexander from 'king's quest 6'? |
Now I think people are nitpicking just a little too much. Sometimes this method of dialog can be used for a comedic effect. It was present in MI2 as well.
