Could just be localisation then, but you're right; if there's one thing all Scots share it's using 'c*nt' as if it means 'person'. Perhaps it would've been a better fit :P

Great to see people are enjoying the game!

Mon the Scots :D

Hey there folks!

I did the voice of Don in Sepulchre and wanted to just chime in on the "boyo" thing quickly. I can get how that would be a little bit immersion-damaging if you've got ideas about how a person from a certain area does or does not talk.

The thing is that I added the line myself with permission from Lewis and Raze. As an actual real life Scotsman I was given a bit of room to inject my own speech patterns into the character's dialogue (to a point, obviously!) and it was me who slipped "boyo" into that one line.

It's something we say, I promise. It's also something that you'd usually see or hear coming out of the mouth of a stereotypically Welsh character, or to a lesser extent an Irish one, but I guarantee you Scots throw the term around too. I even went around asking family and friends to confirm for me in case I was deluded!

Of course it probably shows poor judgement on my part to have used it when it is so widely considered something that Welsh people say, but that rests on me as opposed to on either of the game's lovely word-smiths.
