Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
Re: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
Thanks for this!
Links to earlier grammar and spelling posts from PM, et al.:
Grammar Mistakes/Suggestions #1 (from PM)
One from Vroqren
Report of important misspelling on the Character Creation screen (from Vroqren)
Spelling mistake on Wylderan map (from PM)
On my end, I'll get to the spelling, etc. errors in the Spell descriptions as soon as I can (probably this weekend...).

Before this thread existed I listed some spelling errors in the final dialogue with Karamiklan here: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=8929&start=45#p54677.
Re: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
I found another one on the Character Creation Screen:
Location: Character creation menu
Text: A skilled Forager can scavange for food…
Correction/Suggestion: Change Scavange to Scavenge
Re: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
Not sure I agree - "Gildedmoon Repository" is a two-word proper name, so both words should be capitalized, even if just one of them is used (e.g. just "Repository").Prismatic Maelstrom wrote:Grammar Mistakes/Suggestions #5
Location: Book atop pedestal in Gildedmoon Repository
Text: Welcome to the Gildedmoon Repositry.
Correction/Suggestion: Repository is spelt incorrectly and there is no reason to capitalise it in the other two instances it is mentioned (Repositories/Repository)
Re: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
OK, in this instance, I would say the first "repositories" should be lower-case. But I definitely think you could argue that the second "Repository" should be capitalized, as it's clearly referencing Gildedmoon...Prismatic Maelstrom wrote:So you think the two words below in blue are correct in starting with a capital IJBall?
The Gildedmoon Repository
Welcome to the Gildedmoon Repositry. We strive to be the premiere repository for all of your valuables and commodities. Our security staff is second to none, and unlike other Repositories which have been compromised, we will never allow your possessions to fall into the hands of marauders. In the event of unauthorized access, the contents of the cells can be portaled to another dimension until it is secure enough to return them.
We thank you for putting your trust in the Repository more dignitaries use than any other: Gildedmoon.

Got a minor one - I found the following weapon/item in Warren's Chamber in my current playthrough:
Text: Hellforged Mithril Conqueror's Sword
Correction/Suggestion: Remove extra space between words "Conqueror's" and "Sword"

Re: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
I think this is considered a spelling/grammar mistake.
The Pacifist challenge states: "- A pacifist can only kill under exceptional circumstances. Total game kills must be less than 20. Employ non-lethal offensive and defensive measures."
But when one fails the challenge, it states: "Challenge Failed: The Pacifist (you have killed more than 20 creatures)
Obviously these two don't match up. One says you have to kill less than 20, the other says you've failed because you've killed more than 20 implying you could kill exactly 20. This is not the case.

Re: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
BTW, FTR, I intend to get to the spelling errors, etc. in the Book III spell descriptions probably this weekend.
I still haven't decided if I'll post those here, or in a new thread, though, as it won't just be spelling fixes, but also additional suggested text for some of the spell descriptions...

I hadn't planned that far ahead...Prismatic Maelstrom wrote:I would post it in a separate thread IJBall. Will you be looking at the manual as well in the future?
But, yeah, one of us probably should!!...

Thanks for your hard work! Do you want to do more?Prismatic Maelstrom wrote:I am finished.
I'd be happy to send you the full text files (perhaps you already have them) if you would like to make these changes for me. If not, that's cool too. I appreciate the effort you spent to point them out.
Re: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
Just so you know, I still have the spell description "fixes" coming your way too. I'm trying to get that out in the next week...BasiliskWrangler wrote:... I appreciate the effort you spent to point them out.

Re: Grammar and Spelling Mistakes - Part I
Er...um, yeah I guess that does have all the text files.Prismatic Maelstrom wrote:The download from this topic?BasiliskWrangler wrote:I'd be happy to send you the full text files (perhaps you already have them) if you would like to make these changes for me.
Yes, if you want to make all the possible changes to those files and send me an update, that would certainly help me. Again, no big deal if you can't, but I'll probably not have the time to update text files until May.
