Linguistics - We Happy Few Plague Wastrels (Dialogue Translation)

What are these plague wastrels trying to say to us? They can't speak English, because they forgot how to, but what is the language that they choose to speak instead?

    Thank you so much. I have been having trouble translating that with Beowulf and what little German i know. That is so interesting!

    Joseph Harold when I first heard the plague wastrels talk I thought the language they were using was Welsh, so I was surprised to learn that they were speaking Anglo Saxon

    I think that’s just a bug. Edit: They will do the same if you use Sally’s Hallucinex Atomizer on them. Also interestingly, plague-infected soldiers in Ravensholm will have the dialogue of wastrels.

    That's like in Oblivion where you can cast Charm on Deadra and you get directed to the dialogue screen.

    Plague? Quarantine? These words carry a different meaning now. Regardless this was a great video. I've followed this game for years and I really wish Compulsion would have kept working on it. Always up for more info on the lore or to hear anyone's theories. If you have any underrated suggestion I'd be very delighted. Thank you.

    The dialog of the plaguies is based off of an old English poem called Beowolf. The plague is also called Blight and Bog (idk why is the plague called,,Bog", it's either based on that small polluted puddle next to the victory memorial camp or is it something else. ,,Bog" means god in most slavic languages.)

    I hear Dr. Jung and I think of the one from Bioshock. Anyway, thank you for the video! I thought it was Gaelic at first.

    I wonder what they say when they’re not in combat but hear a sound made by you. I remember the subtitles saying things that end in a question mark. I don’t know, maybe the wiki already has the quotes but I’m forgetting them.
