I have been modifying game dialogue quite a bit... Does anyone have any works of art in this arena they would like to share... I have several new races and I cannot quite decide how to make them speak...

I have the Dathomir Sith women... and I am looking for some ideas here...

And NO, NO, NO, I am not fishing for jokes about 'talk to my wife/girlfriend.' [:-][;)]
But I have no idea how such a group would act -- other than I do not want to be around one...

"Uh huh....that's nice....yes dear...." [:D] (you asked for it by making a big deal of it!) [;)]

On a more serious note:

Well they are Sith, everything should center around them. Curt, selfish and condescending would seem to fit the bill.

For example, when you contact them for diplomacy:

'What can you do for me insect?'

"Uh huh....that's nice....yes dear...."
 
Well, I might be inclined to say something like that if my wife wielded a lightsaber and could force throw me all over the house...
I am not sure if evil is always arrogant... I thought Napoleon could be quite diplomatic as he marched his armies to the border.
Oh well, it was a shot anyway!

Darth Vader didn't go around being arrogant and talking to people like shit, he didn't need to, he was just mega authorative and everyone was scared shitless by him.
In fact he is quite eloquent if you ignore the whole choking fetish.

A sith may demand, or be disappointed.
They may ask "What is it ambassador?" if they are not allies.

"You are beaten, it is useless to resist."
"With our combined strength we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy."
These two are nice quotes.

While Napoleon could be diplomatic, he still sent his armies if he didn't get his way. He might have given the appearance of being nice, but the unspoken threat was always there.

Again, any megalomaniac is only going to care about what's in it for himself. From having read the EU books, the Dathomir Sith were definitely only concerned about themselves.

OT: as a kid I was taken by Napoleon's brilliance but he went too far, you can't fight everyone everywhere. By beating everyone he teached them how to beat himself in the end.

<laugh!!!> [:D]
I agree with you! That was my point. The choking Fetish IS part of HIS diplomacy.
