First of all, it seems to mean to be quite melodramatic in writing, that being said, I'll explain myself:
10) "What would monsters want with the Norn's datastacks?"
Hard to judge this one, we haven't played through it (though he states we know nothing about it). But there's nothing wrong with the writing.
9) "Make sure courage guides your sword hand, not your fear."
Why would courage guide your fear? That makes no sense.
It obviously means don't let fear guide your sword, bad syntax.
8) "Make sure you die on your feet and not cowering behind some fetid corpse."
It's not common speech therefore it's ridiculous?
7) "I aim to get out of here."
"Yeah, but will it be in a bag or on a pair of Valkyrie wings?"
"Damn comedians."
Context needed, sounds bad though
6) "Come on, boys, let's party."
Wait, did I really hear that? Did one of my followers just enjoin his cyber-Norse companions to "party"? What game is this again? And can I get David Cross in here for a reading of that line?
Context
5) "We shall free the world from cold stagnation."
Really that bad?
4) "Your fear soaks your armor. I can smell it."
Not many videogames feature characters who smell each other.
It's not literal.
3) "There be monsters here."
What's wrong with that?
2) "As executor of the will of the Aesir, I will destroy you."
Then, as the keeper of the materiel manifest for the Aesir, I will either equip or sell the items that you drop.
Sounds lame in writing, but it's not really bad :/
1) "Did you toast to me when I lay upon a marble slab in hell?"
This line is followed by an awkward silence. No joke. The character says it at a party and then everyone clams up and won't make eye contact with him. I'm not sure why, because I'd long since given up trying to make sense of what passes for a story in Too Human. But in my head, the awkward silence was from everyone wondering whether to correct his usage of "lay".
The fact he couldn't get the meaning of that is why I questioned his intelligence, it really is quite obvious :/
1) "Your agonized shrieks shall be your only monument."
Drama again
1) "If that's your best, bring on your worst."
Nonsense statement :P
