Since you haven't pissed yourself I'll assume that you don't know who we are - next time I'll bring my sickle and wear my black cloak.
Do people who write movie, cartoon, TV or gaming dialogue ever take 5 seconds to ask themselves:>Would a functioning, respectable human being ever say this out loud to another human or a group of humans in the context of this scenario? Its like Harrison Ford telling George Lucas his dialogue is awful and Lucas just doubles down on it and writes “I hate sand” or “No because I’m so in love with you.”
The sand line is definitely how a human being talks and I don't get the hate surrounding it.

>>732250329sometimes added flair is good for a story, not bad. Reality never follows a logical narrative, so we're already breaking from it in a substantial way; intermittent bouts of unrealistic dialogue are not any further from that root, especially considering the typical setting allows for colorful characters who might be more likely to speak in that way to come to fore.Not to mention some people really do think of things they would want to say if x or y were to happen and scenarios where someone tries to drop an intimidating line or something along the lines of the OP do exist on occasion. It's simply a matter of accepting that the uncommon is more common in your narrative.
>>732250961If you’re a combat trained veteran you aren’t going to say something corny like that in the middle of a desert, to a dangerous criminal. Even the Legion dudes for all their retarded larping just say “Caesar has marked you for death, get ready to die.” Its simple but its straight to the point and it works and feels “scarier” than someone going “Ooooo I’m the grim reaper, piss yourself in fear.” I cant take it seriously at all. Nobody can its the same as Tony Stark saying “hes right behind me isnt he” while an alien or a robot kills like 10 people in front of him.
>>732250329I hate sand is a fine line. He says it in response to Padme jerking off about how much she loved going on beach vacations in her swanky pampered childhood; while the guy she is talking to never went on vacations to the beach. Because he was a fucking slave."So love has blinded you?" is indefensible tho
>>732250079the NCR showing up and saying "we hate you, fix that" is kind of retarded in the first place. Rather than telling someone that's already an enemy to repair the relationship, they should be warning someone just on the cusp of being hated by the NCR to not fuck with them again, or else.
