What in the Wylie Galloway...

I honestly thought the HC team had used AI to write his dialog at first because of the seemingly haphazard use of accented letter Es all over the place and the variety of random italicization.

Folks, what kind of accent do we think the author was going for, here?

 

 

He also has a tendency for verbosity that doesn't help him come off as uh... endearingly nerdy.

Brevity, Soul, Wit. Some guy who wrote things said once.

French perhaps? How does one textualize accents anyways?

Well, in my head, I was imagining Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau.

Yeah.  Didn’t he say “Briefly, in my soul i know you are half wits”

I struggled with this, myself.  French seemed the likeliest answer.  I haven't finished the mission chain yet, so keep the discussion specifically to the OP's topic, please- NO SPOILERS!  😁

The accent didn't bother me too much, but there are typos and spelling issues in some of his text. I had to read through it a few times to really catch what he was saying.

If they're going for a French accent, not like that. This is the equ'alent of try'ng to simulate an Am'can ac'ent by sim'y d'pping ran'om le'rs and re'acing them with apo'rophes. The result isn't anything like the American accent and kinda makes a vaguely offensive caricature.

Kent : "You'll rue the day!"
Chris: "Who talks like that?"

As I read it, I am imagining an Australian speaking in a Louisianan Creole accent. 

 

"Crikey, oh sa bon! Enpresyonan!"
