Dialogue Review

[Mad Jack Wolfe]

Would there be any objections to my reviewing and correcting some of the game dialogue? There's some pretty atrocious ! stuff ! in , there . that needs
attention .

It may seem like a minor thing, but I can personally attest that it blows me right out of the storyline.

No objections at all, @Mad Jack Wolfe.
In fact, I'd very much encourage you and support you to do that as it generally bothers me too.

Thanks! I'm not trying to be a pedant, and I honestly appreciate the efforts of those who have added dialogue to the game. But there comes a time when someone has to break out the big red Sharpie pen and play editor. My goal is to clarify only, not to change the meaning. And I will do my best to keep my overactive British sense of humour out of it.

Awww, why?
When I did some dialogue corrections many years ago, I definitely did some extra tweaking as well.
A clear example is the First Contact sidequest, which was the last one I ever did and never completed.
So at some point you may notice a change in style, which is where the original dialogue is left instead of my rewritten bits.

In other words: As far as I'm concerned, you don't quite need to stifle all of your creativity and humour.
