Well, I have a serious problem with understanding what is said in some spoken English (I am not native though) Normally, I have no intention of asking every word or every group of words, that I hear in videos, on the forums. Because no one would want to waste his time doing this silly thing for me, as long as they’re not paid for it 😉 Perhaps, in future, I might consider paying someone to check my scripts. By creating scripts, I might improve my ear for English. Anyway. I am really frustrated because I can’t fathom out what’s said in this video below. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/GWfJzsmVMps/maxresdefault.jpg "Diablo III - Diablo The Prime Evil Quotes") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWfJzsmVMps) Would you please help me in filling “…” parts above? 00:00 - 00:13 _We feed of your fear nephalem. We can feel … tormented soul within us. We … her screams._ 1:16 - 1:27 \*Once this was a shining … silver city. All heaven’s fallen into my corruption. \* 2:29 - 2:45 _When you die, so will too all men. You … nephalem. You’ve been here before … nightmares. Welcome to the Realm of Terror._ 3:19 - 3:23 _Heaven rocks/wracks(???) in our shadow._ (rocks or wracks?) Many thanks ---

I’m usually not very good at this, so don’t take my transcription as gospel, and I can’t get some of the words. Also, I don’t understand the reference to “Nephalem,” probably because I don’t know the story behind this. But here’s what I have: “…We can feel Lea’s tormented soul within us. We relish your screams.” (Is Lea a character?) “…a shining beacon of the silver city…” “…You’ve been here before in your nightmares…” “Heaven rocks in our shadow…” This is a helluva way to learn English! ---

Wow, video game dialogue really is the lowest form of art, eh? To call that corny would be an insult to corn. Anyway, \*\*Musicat \*\*has it covered, except for the “You … nephalem” bit. I think it is “Feel familiar, nephalem? You’ve been here before… etc.” ---

I think that’s ‘Nephilim’. As in “there were giants in those days”, etc. ---

No irony on this occasion, no. Video game dialogue (or monologue, as this may technically be) is generally rubbish. ---

Leah is a major NPC in the game. Nephalem is the correct spelling in the game; it’s referring to Nephilim, but it’s not quite the same. In theory, all humans in the diabloverse are Nephalem, although only humans badassed enough to get a game based on their lives get called that. ---

These games don’t have subtitles? I don’t think I’ve played a game that didn’t. I’d think that things with subtitles would be a great way to practice your language listening skills. ---
