In this episode we talk about the role of language in character design and world building. Hosts Dr. Ibi and Dr. Joe cover topics including:
- language ideologies, stereotypes, and othering
- characters with different accents or speech impediments
- spelling in conlangs inspired by real languages
- real-world associations mapping onto fictional worlds
- games such as the Dragon Age franchise, Pillars of Eternity, Cyberpunk 2077, Disco Elysium
Contains some strong (and other types of) language.
