You'd prefer to have to learn a whole new vocabulary for every single game you play that doesn't take place in the real world?

Yes, more lore is always welcome

So what is the alternative? Make up some bullshit units of measurements that give no reference to the players?

Why not use non-decimal number base while you're at it?

see

Not him, but I care more about story than lore.

I care about Story+Lore

Wrong.

If lore element doesn't add anything of value to the world building or story, then it's redundant. Original measure units are only not redundant if they describe something not presented in our world, say mana. If original measure units describe some value which can be easily described in units we already know, then it's pointless. One thing is creating new fantasy animals and calling them original names, the other is having cats and calling them eyjafjallajökulls despite them clearly being just regular cats.

That's idiotic.
One will be more immersed if they have an idea of the scale when using familiar units rather than something made up.

You can easily guess how long 50 meters is, but you can't at all know how long 20 troms is.

earth means dirt you absolute pedant

the americans only have bullshit measurements that aren't even decimal and they seem to do fine

Why the fuck would distant aliens, who have obviously never even heard the word "earth" before (Hence the Urth spelling) call their soil earth and seismic activity earthquakes?

why would they call it an earthquale if they weren't speaking english? and if they're speaking english they're calling it an earthquale because the ground is shaking.

>man and woman are male and female HUMANS respectively
>aliens use the same words on their own species genders

user, if you lived on Mars, and have never heard or said the word earth before, you would not call a quake an earthquake. Please see a doctor.

>game set on fantasy world
>game doesn't make up an entire language
>tutorial isn't just learning the entire made up language

Imagine the pace of a Star Trek episode if every conversation with an alien went like

>Human says something
>Device spits out alien translation
>Alien says something
>Their device spits out human translation.

It'd kill the pace and take you out of the moment.

>Game set in ancient ruins
>Cultures that lived here had their own languages

Based La-Mulana

funny, considering that the martian surface is nearly 100 percent dirt

What if the game's original language isn't english? The word earthquake doesn't have a root in "earth" as much as it does in "ground" or "floor" in languages that aren't english
Even just words with roots in greek already serve as good enough of an example, don't be retarded

>Game set into the future
>Theres still whites.

See the question is did we start calling earth the planet first or the material on the surface of the planet
That would tell us if the term for dirt is "earth" actually or if it would have a different name on another planet

>alien speaks in a humanly way that words and concepts are the same, basically being just another foreign language

Do you really want to have to traipse around a fantasy world that keeps on blathering about how many quomblaps or durgles or snakelongs it is to the next village?

The entire appeal behind fantasy is its use of the metaphysical to put humanity in experimental situations unique, improbable, or unexpected, in order to gauge human reaction and consequences to extraordinary situations. Everything else is window dressing. If the unit measurements are what ruin it for you, chances are you really are an actual autist.

people didn't even know earth was a planet they just said that the shit they keep stepping on every day was called earth and the term got granfathered in when earth was found to be a planet
