If I showed up to a tabletop game and the DM had goblins behave that way, I would advise him to familiarize himself better with the game's lore. This type of "haha isn't that quirky" writing caters to the lowest common denominator who thinks anything comedic is automatically great and has no regard whatsoever for realism and lore accuracy. Goblins are not cockney rascals who will have a joke-filled conversation with civilized people. It's one of countless examples of what Larian believes: it doesn't matter if it's realistic and believable as long as it's comedic, cartoonish and unexpected.

This game is inundated in terrible writing. Please don't encourage more of it.

Who hurt you? is everything ok?
