Baldur's Gate: EE What does this sentence mean? [closed]
I'm playing a PC game 'Baldur's Gate:EE' and I can't understand this sentence.
It is from a character in the game.
"I bet those rank-ridin' bandits are hired by the Amnian. It'd be like those moneygrubbers to pull something so low. Got to the point where an honest man can't travel the roads."
In particular, second sentence, I don't get it at all.
It would be like those moneygrubbers to pull something so low.
What does pull something so low mean?
In the sentence, to infinitive(to pull something so low) is used as an adjective to describe those moneygrubbers?
Please help me and thanks in advance for any help.
Solution 1:
To "pull something so low" is to do something very bad (as bad as what they are talking about, that is). And the rest of the sentence explains that it's expected or normal for moneygrubbers to do such a thing, though normally one would say, "It'd be just like ...".
