I don´t know if anyone has mentioned it before, but I think there is a little grammar mistake in the game.
Shouldn´t it be "...she will not eat..." or something like that? o: ![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/zz212/SilveryFullMoon/df79a976.jpg");)

I guess it's an attempt to emulate a poetic/old-fashioned style of writing? Kind of Shakespearean in a way, I guess? I mean, back in the old days sentences were structured in such weird ways that wouldn't make sense in modern grammar structure and stuff, but hey... who am I to talk? English is not my first language.

No, this sentence is perfectly acceptable. In modern English, a "would" is supplied, but, as d_a mentioned, this is probably supposed to sound sort of poetic, or possibly medieval. If I'm not totally imagining this, I think older English styles actually omitted words in this manner. (I dunno about that though; I would check a grammar dictionary or Wikipedia).

Only mistake i found is in the beginning, when Nox tells Mel: “this cathedral is build like a fortress”. Probably should be "built".

It's perfectly acceptable modern English, too
 (and I've just fixed the build -> built typo, thanks for mentioning it)
