RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

For anybody who was trying to translate the Latin, I have a pretty significant update.

Funny story really, I was walking around campus yesterday, and I caught a glimpse of a statue with an all-too-familiar looking inscription in the wall behind it. I almost instantly recognized it as the elusive fourth line of mors praematura. The first part of the incsription read, "Mundus vult decipi" which I thought was way too similar to the fourth line some of us were trying to unravel. Turns out, it's another common Latin phrase meaning, "The world loves to be deceived," or "The world wants to be deceived" (can be translated slightly differently based on context.

I thought this was pretty interesting considering the implied duality of "pigs" in the game.

I think the game will receive some negative feedback for no custom story support.
The rest of the feedback is all about the quality of the game.

ie. CS support is more important than the main game?

I translated the message that we have and got this.

Premature death
Inflict deadly side
Dwell father ___________
The world wants to be deceived
Remember the death, remember to die
death _________
habilitates ___________
Premature death, premature death

NOTE: I used GT (Google Translate) so the results might not be correct.

"Veni, vidi, vici."
"I came, I saw, I conquered."
