Hokay...! Back to bards now. The songsters in this game seem to be on steroids! So, Garrett is on track to pen the biggie. But Shiva's work has revealed yet another fearless bard in the Port Town of Endel that I didn't spot last winter. After about two seconds of consideration, I decided this fantastic game deserves to have all of its song lyrics set to rhyme, even if we don't release until 2020 (just like reverse hindsight, right!?)
So, rather than cajole Garrett into doing all the musing, I fiddled around with our itinerant artist in Endel off and on through the day. Shoot, I could have been to the Temple of Manus by now, kickin' butt and takin' names, but as I said, I figure the extra work for verse is worth it. Please, anyone, feel free to jump in and help this poor country blank verse writer look like Lord George Gorden Byron! If gamers can solve the molecular structure of a retrovirus blocker, surely we can network to write memorable A-B-A-B quatrains!
First, the Japanese, then Shiva's reading, finally - my first draft in screenies. Believe it or not, I limited the screenies by cutting some of them out of the upload!
