That's a shame, I think this has potential but I'd like to see a more hardcore, immersive mode and it could certainly use better writing.

A matter of taste, isn't it?

Getting sick of people talking about immersion in video games...
If you want immersion, go outside.

imagine videogames as an escape from reality for just a bit...

More like "talking about immersion without imagination". Gaming is all about imagination because nothing is real.

It's also about cultural differences. As a Southeast Asian, not all European/Western jokes, idioms, ... make sense to me.

For me, "potential" is that annoying buzzword. MD has been on the market for years, has sold millions of copies, and still hasn't faded into obscurity. The game doesn't just have potential – it's been successful for years. What players actually mean when they write something like that is: I really like it, but I want to see the kind of content I'm used to from other games.

I would actually just like immersive writing. I know 'immersion' is corny and forbidden to use these days, but whatever, it's what I'm looking for in a game like this. For an RPG, the writing here is objectively BAD.

Nope, it's not forbidden, otherwise you would have been arrested for using it^^

Yes, I think it became clear that you don't like the writing :)

Not really.
I personally would have preferred the writing and the dialog to match the aesthetic and have the conversations, dialog and quests be more genuinely medieval and serious. Instead the writers took a different approach and made it more light-hearted with a lot of modern day references and humour.
Doesn't make it objectively bad. Just not what you and I would have preferred.

okay, that's a fair take. I just don't care for the goofiness, was hoping for a more serious experience.

Video games are for entertainment not immersion. State of mind is important.

Immersion is the key to gaming entertainment, that's what makes gaming special compared to other mediums.

Sadly, with this statement, I doubt that many can define true "immersion". It's just another buzz word with hundreds of self-defined meaning.
