[Feature request]Restore the riddlemouth in grandfather´s cellar back to original-like

[macce2]

When you enter this first riddlemouth, it says: "I do not recognise your voice,
which leaves me no other choice!
I will only let you through,IF YOU ANSWER ME THIS CLUE!"
(even if you know the right word to say, "wine";
this sentence leaves you kind of waiting for something to follow,
which doesnt happen - What clue...?!)

I think this should be restored back to the original sentence used in Ambermoon:

"I do not know (or recognise !?) your voice,
you cannot achieve anything here!
But if you say the right thing,
then I shall let you go (pass through !?) ."

I think that is much more clearer and logical sentence !
So please do consider that.
Thanks.

I disagree. All riddlemouths' talk in the form of a limerick, a rhyme. The original German was a good rhyme but the translation to English wasn't. The replacement rhymes and works well enough. You've only quoted half of what he says. You've missed out the clue. I don't think you've scrolled to the next bit

Please look at this picture !
That is all the riddlemouth says (waiting for the word "wine" )...!?
So, this could be just another bug, huh !?
Unable to scroll anything here..

The original German was this

DEINE STIMME KENN ICH NICHT,
DU KANNST HIER NICHTS ERREICHEN!
DOCH SAGST DU MIR DAS RICHTGE WORT,
DANN LASS ICH MICH ERWEICHEN.

DICH DRÄNGT DER DURST?
DU SUCHST DEN WEIN?
WOHLAN DENN,
GEH DEN GANG HINEIN!

The original translation was this (which doesn't rhyme)

I DO NOT KNOW YOUR VOICE,
YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING HERE!
BUT IF YOU SAY THE RIGHT THING,
THEN I SHALL LET YOU GO.

ARE YOU THIRSTY?
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME WINE?
PERHAPS,
THEN GO INTO THE PASSAGEWAY!

And the NEW translated version is this

I DO NOT RECOGNISE YOUR VOICE,
WHICH LEAVES ME NO OTHER CHOICE!
I WILL ONLY ALLOW YOU THROUGH,
IF YOU TELL ME THE RIGHT CLUE!

YOU SUFFER REAL THIRST?
YOU HUNT FOR THE BOOZE?
WELL, ENJOY YOURSELF,
WHILE I TAKE A SNOOZE!

The new version contains the same information as the original translation AND it rhymes. Job done.

[a1exh]

If you can come up with a better translation, that rhymes in English, it could be considered.

Possibly

I DO NOT RECOGNISE YOUR VOICE,
WHICH LEAVES ME NO OTHER CHOICE!
I WILL ONLY LET YOU PAST,
IF THE WORD YOU SAY DOES MATCH!

[macce2]

Thanks a1exh,

IMHO, that would be better.
I do respect your opinion here as a
native English speaker (!? ) ;
but I propose something like this:

I DO NOT RECOGNISE YOUR VOICE,
WHICH LEAVES ME NO OTHER CHOICE!
I WILL ONLY LET YOU PAST,
IF YOU SAY (ME) THE RIGHT WORD!

[sh-dave]

I DO NOT RECOGNISE YOUR VOICE,
NO PASSAGE SHALL YOU WIN.
BUT SPEAK THE WORD I WANT TO HEAR,
AND I WILL LET YOU IN.

THIRST GUIDES YOUR WAY?
YOU SEEK THE WINE?
THEN DO NOT STRAY,
THE PATH IS THINE.

[Pyrdacor]

I know not yet your voice or name,
Your words hold here no power’s claim.
But speak the truth, the word divine,
And mercy, then, perhaps is mine.

You thirst, you say? You seek the wine?
Then step within — the path is thine.

[a1exh]

I think it is up-to @Pyrdacor as the Ambermoon custodian to choose. My guide is to stay as close to the German meaning as you can whilst making it easy to understand and most important rhyme.

[Pyrdacor]

I will think about it. Has not the biggest priority at the moment though.
