Grammatical errors and typos

I know that many people don't care much about the odd grammar issue or typo but I find it detracts from the quality of the game. I've run into a few already in my first 2 hours of playing...mostly verb tenses like "had went" instead of "had gone". I'd like to report them somewhere as I run into them. Would this be the right spot?

I've started a thread to catalog this sort of thing, as well as gameplay and mechanics bugs. It is in this forum.

As a beta tester, I apologize for not finding them all. We did find a lot and the game is so huge and situations come up differently for each of us it wasn't possible to find them all. Thanks for finding the ones you do and reporting them. :)

First day, first message: "You slept heavy..." should be "You slept heavily..."

Keebo text: "Chancellor Pylot has forbid ships..." - verb should be "has forbidden"

Conversation with Father Tyrus, my character asks "Do you know where he may have went?" - verb should be "have gone"

:oops: Thanks. I can't remember where I got it from but it had diamonds as I recall and I changed it to sapphires. It's kinda what I looked like 45 years ago, which is why I choose it. It also intimidates my players in my game on Rpol. - the mysterious, all knowing DM :roll:

I'm pretty sure that avatar is from an old rpg, possibly AD&D

Under the well, there is a door "wood fragments bare numerous ..."

Should be BEAR instead of BARE

:)

PS - So far, excellent atmosphere to the game. Loving it!

Minus' first text says he lives on Lostbottom Lake. Shouldn't this say Greenriven Lake?

On the first sentence of the wake up message, you get "you have awoke" if I'm not wrong. It should be you awoke, or you have awoken.

Elenaise's dialogue. Double "looks": "I don't know what this is. I mean, it looks looks like a fancy reading glass, but it is obviously not."

Wendy's dialogue. Change "to to" => "to do". "I don't really know. I think it has something to to with 'helping prepare the way'

During play, after failing to pick a lock, it says "You have broke a lockpick". Change to "You have broken a lockpick."

Also, at the beginning of the game, when a history of the land is told, theres mentioning of "primative humans". Should be "primitive".
