Ultima is the only game i knoweth of yond didst this, although i assume fusty'r games didst t too. This is because i mostly only playeth mod'rn RPGs. T is sore to readeth and f'rces thee to sloweth down, and can holp buildeth imm'rsion as longeth as t doesn't receiveth too annoying. Doth any oth'r decent rpgs doth this?

Vampire the Masquerade Redemption. It can be cheesy and it will make you chuckle in places, but for me the great atmosphere and quality of the voice acting made it work.

stuff like liketh is 3rd person singular numbnuts, so "I knoweth" is bull

I have - Ich habe
We have - wir haben
ye have - ihr habt
they have - sie haben
thou hast - du hast
he/she/it hath - er/sie/es hat
I/he/she/it had - Ich/er/sie/es hatte
we/they had - wir/sie hatten
ye had - ihr hattet
thou hadst - du hattest

Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption has this lingo but only in the middle ages section mostly, other than Christof who speaks like that even in the modern times.

Still waiting for an RPG written using actual medieval English:

Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licóur
Of which vertú engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye,
So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially, from every shires ende
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

Or better yet:

Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning.

Get fucked, Ren fair nerds.

I should have some goods to share on that front soon. It's nowhere close to finished, but there is more to see.

This is the Nexus.
It holds together the northern land of Boletaria.
Thou can'st not exit the Nexus, but each of the five Archstones will connect thee to another node.

Welcome Back.
The Monumental awaits thee, above. The Monumental will explain the Nexus to thee.

Brave soul, who fears not death.
Prithee, lull the Old One back to its ancient slumber.
What is it? Dost thou seek soul power?
So be it.
After all thou requireth strength.
Go forth; touch the Demon inside me. Let these ownerless souls become thine own.

Soul of the mind, key to life's ether.
Soul of the lost, withdrawn from its vessel.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended.
So the world might be mended.
Art thou done? May thine strength help the world be mended.

Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?
Then touch the Demon inside me.

I shall await thine return, slayer of Demons. I am here for thee and thee only.
