** Taken to comical extremes with monocle-wearing, mustache-bearing, tea-guzzling AdventurerArchaeologist protagonist. When he drinks tea, he summons a giant robot to help him as the background briefly changes to an enormous British flag. Yep, this is a Western WidgetSeries, all right... The SpeakingSimlish voice natter that accompanies his dialogue is literally ''nothing but'' an endless series of 'pip-pip, cheerio'-style sounds. No words, just raw unadulterated Britishness. The rest of the cast encompasses the various variations on this trope; his archnemesis, for instance, is a {{Steampunk}} Willy Wonka lookalike who uses a giant mechanical top hat as his vehicle.
