Briggs cares more about beasts than sob stories.
Like you don't know, you worshipper of outer realm monstrosities.
What.
This is getting somewhere interesting.
Why indeed.
You read that right, folks; The reason he lost his eyes is because he was standing under the rickety bridge I crossed with the coffin lid, got sawdust (HINT HINT) in his eyes and his own mutant monstrosity attacked him.
I've seen a few of these "unintended consequences" jokes in games before, but never have I failed to react to them as I do now. It's just completely silly. Of course I'm supposed to think it's my fault that I walked across a damned footpath, as if this game didn't have half a million. It also tries to get me to belive that this room is underneath the bridge.
Like, no.
He seems to fall for it. "Not my fault honest."
Thank you for telling me that.
The word you are looking for is "Mwahahaha!", Briggs.
Bugsy tells us not to touch anything.
Pff. Yeah, right.
I'm going to do another mini-rant; Almost every conversation I've seen in this game has followed the pattern "introduction-pointless and supposedly humorous shenanigans-something useful". I have this mental checklist for every one I see, and it doesn't fail. What happened to making, y'know, a flowing conversation? Or are all bar talks in Kent like this?
