Worms come out of the woodwork

Leeches crawl from out of the dirt

Rats come out of the holes they call home

I fall apart and the snakes start to sing

How to: play games.

You can emulate the low-intelligence dialogue of isometric Fallouts and Arcanum by playing ANY game in a foreign language you have only a surface understanding of. Not only does it make bad writing most games have much more palatable—allowing you to supplant disagreeable impressions with novel memories— language-learning aspect becomes itself a game mechanic, one that readily injects itself into the game's own (oftentimes critically limited) pool of game mechanics. Low-intelligence dialogue also doesn't necessarily indicate a stupid PC, but a foreigner or a rustic with a tenuous grasp of local language. I've managed to squeeze one more playthrough from otherwise well-trodden Arcanum by playing in French as half-ogre idiot-savant. And Gothic's limited portfolio of game mechanics was GREATLY improved by playing The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos in its native Polish. Archolos, in case you don't know, is a total conversion mod for Gothic 2 that follows up on its overarching theme of orcish invasion (the exact same problem I have in real life, actually).
