Jaws That Thirst

For me, it depends on the character. If I'm playing some filthy thug born in a gutter who lives a life of crime, he's usually going to be pretty foul mouthed. But having said that, its easy to tell people who can use such words tastefully as a means to portray their character compared to people who use such words in an attempt to sound badass.

I think it should only be used when it is most needed and actually has a use of seriousness rather than plain insults. Its boring to see

Try to use it flavorfully, but "Feck" is a good alternative to "Fuck" if you need to use it.

Personally, I prefer it used when it makes sense. Though in my opinion, a lot of swearing kinda makes sense for some characters that're out of their element with adventuring and the hell-hole Ymph ;)
(As in, when getting shot at a lot a swear makes sense, not just walking around Mistlocke)

'Feck' is horrible, and way more jarring than 'fuck', at least IMO.

TheImpossibleDream

Feck is a horrible horrible word or any of those stupid substitutes for the word fuck.

I think using "fuck" or any other expletive used commonly in contemporary parlance is often jarring, but usually only because its being used in a decidedly contemporary manner.

It may well have been around for centuries, but people certainly have never used it historically in the way it is used now (ie. so frequent you'd wonder if people have any other vocabulary when it comes to adjectives or adverbs).

So if you use it, use it well, and with purpose, and avoid its contemporary overuse.
