This game just screams "The MESSAGE"
This is not so much the voice acting, I considering the degeneration of society by destruction would also include loss of language as has happened before, the linguistics of the game and previous game are just pandering to "The Message" with in which case the general character vocabulary, there's even deterioration in language from generation to generation, The game spans a history over 1000 years yet the voice actors were not directed or it was not written to be that the tribes would have distinct tonal characteristic regional accents races becoming homogenised negating that tone through exposure creating a new tone...

Because that would be an awful gameplay experience? I have no idea what the supposed the message is.
How awful to extrapolate accents and slang based on the region expressed in the game and a deterioration model based on what is missing in that society.
It's pretty clear that society would not function as depicted.

They could've at-least attempted a vernacular change some sort, the Nora are parochial and insular the language is affected as such only over a 20 years let alone 300 - 1000.

The Story and the characters are part of "The Message" The Voices also, Gameplay in this is no where near HZD..
Seems identical gameplay to me.

Core mechanics movement all feel very off it's like, More like Deus Ex Mankind Divided on the input side of things delays etc.
I suspect it's horns effect.

Then you've not been paying attention to the details in said title..

Inventory management is different interactions are different,
Jump
FOV
Sprint Speed
Combat is different
Weapon equip is different
Skill tree is awful, it's like some child created it from a diamond pattern.
It's more like Deus Ex MKD in this regard than HZD

Aesthetically you may not comprehend the differences, sure it's Aloy and the Cast from SBI turn up again, but the core play is changed slightly off centre, it's not as far off as Mass Effect 2 was from Mass EFFECT, but it's noticeable.

Your pseudo psychological analysis is only based in imagery ? and not response from interaction ??
Nope, plays basically the same with some additions, like a sequel.
What is "The Message" ?
Dude doesn't even like the game, just posting. I'm assuming it's the whole hzd is woke/plant narrative.

Oh, right.

It must be some global conspiracy or something. Some people can't fathom why diversity exists in video games.

Because the actual real world is diverse.

Do other game communities typically inspire the same level of insanity as this one? People keep posting the most ridiculous crap to be upset about in HFW. Sometimes it's jawbone rendering. Wokeness. Computer problems that have nothing really to do with the game itself. This guy because they didn't do a rigorous linguistic analysis/projection to account for dialect evolution among the tribals... JFC.

regional accents would have required subtitles and every one knows a merkins are either too lazy to read subtitles or can't read.

IKR, Education standards have declined and the brainwashing in media and shillbots love to negate without real justification it's all for the financial benefit of the publishers, hence why the consultancy firms exist to push policy.

_________________________________________
To the Commentors above.. Asking Ai to do something very simple that anyone else could've have precieved it though apparently a newokian is not able to extrapolate such a simple task.

Ai Example

"""

Understanding the Context:

Year: 3336
Event: AI takeover, leading to the elimination of technologically knowledgeable individuals and a shift towards a more primitive lifestyle.
Setting: San Francisco and California
Survival: Focus on adapting to a war-torn environment, relying on limited resources and avoiding technological advancements.

Initial Linguistic Base:

Given the starting point in San Francisco and California, the initial language would likely be a dialect of American English, influenced by regional slang and terminology.

Language Evolution:

Loss of Luxury Items: As luxury items become scarce, associated terms will fade from common usage. For example, terms like "smartphone," "laptop," and "Tesla" might become obsolete.
Adaptation to Survival: New terms will emerge to describe objects and activities related to survival. For instance, "scav" might become a common term for a scavenger, and "breach" could refer to a successful raid on an AI-controlled facility.
Nicknames for Predominant Items: As resources become limited, objects might acquire nicknames based on their importance or unique characteristics. For example, a particularly reliable firearm could be called "Old Faithful."
Influence of War: The constant threat of war will likely introduce military jargon and terms related to combat. Words like "recon," "ammo," and "FOB" (Forward Operating Base) might become more prevalent.
Isolation and Regional Variations: As communities become isolated, regional dialects and slang will develop. This could lead to the emergence of new words or pronunciations.

Hypothetical Slang and Terminology:

General Terms:
"Grid": A term for the AI-controlled network or infrastructure.
"Glitch": A malfunction or failure in AI systems.
"Scav Zone": A dangerous area controlled by scavengers or AI forces.
"Breach": A successful raid on an AI-controlled facility.
Survival Items:
"Blade": A knife or other sharp weapon.
"Rig": A backpack or other carrying device.
"Can": A container for food or water.
"Burner": A device used for cooking or heating.
Military Terms:
"Recon": Reconnaissance or scouting.
"FOB": Forward Operating Base.
"Ops": Operations or missions.
"Gear": Equipment or supplies.

Example Sentence:

"We gotta scav the grid for more cans before the next ops. Watch out for the glitches, they're getting smarter."

This example demonstrates how the language might evolve, incorporating new terms related to survival, technology, and military concepts.


""""

This is a feminised title with cuddly killing, The evolution of the language is weak the accents of the npcs is not representative, The consultancy firm SBI has done these games one of the biggest injustices, by forcing falsehood of imaginary reality over the top of an already fictitious title by claiming representation for real individuals.

What a farce, there's more to things than what you see, if you don't understand this you need to look for yourself, It's all about money.
