Graveyard flavor text oddness (potential text issue)
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2019 1:17 pm
Something about the flavor text for entering graveyards struck me as odd, so I kept re-entering them until I narrowed it down:
"You smell of freshly buried dead"
This doesn't make a lot of sense. You wouldn't smell of freshly buried dead unless you had been handling the shovels and the bodies, and the text shows up as you arrive on the scene.
It would make more sense as:
"You smell freshly buried dead"
You could smell freshly turned over earth in a graveyard, and if the dead had an odor or the ground had one from the burial process, then this would make more sense.
