General writing tip based on unintentionally hinky dialog I've seen in video games over the years: when a character says a young lady "smells nice," PLEASE specify that they're talking about her perfume so they don't sound like a huge creeper who sniffs women. ESPECIALLY if the character in question is a grown man talking about a teenage girl.

#the germ of this rant came from a wonky localization of a guard's dialogue in a link between worlds #plus that one goron merchant in gerudo town in botw #but it came to the forefront of my mind during the intro of expedition 33 #where sophie's sewing teacher was presumably talking about her perfume but accidentally came across as a huge creep #caps warning #writing
