Profanity in this episode's character dialogue

I gotta say, I loved seeing it!During certain scenes, it raises the tension of the moment when used at the right times I loved Rytlock throwing in the occasional 'damn' or calling Smodur an 'ass'. I've also read some others which I'll leave for the players to find in the game :)

As to that I figure it's a different curse that is translated to our Terran tongues. There are way too many colloquialisms that make no sense for Tyria, but could have analogues that are being translated to what makes sense to the players behind the characters. One big example: Taimi calls Rytlock "Zipper-lips" in a season 3 episode. Either zippers are canon in Tyria due to that, or she spoke a New Krytan phrase indicating someone keeping their mouth shut about secrets. I choose to believe that if a Tyrian says "to hell with that," they are in fact saying something in their language that has about the same mild curse effect as we take it in English. (I know some people find it a much stronger curse than others, but overall in the gaming world it's pretty mild. Enough so that it's not felined here, even).
