I'm a bit of a grammatical enthusiast. :P Being so, I've noticed a lot of mistakes in language and spelling in one of two of my favorite games, Divine Divinity and also in Beyond.

Flicking through the screenshots of Ego Draconis I also noticed one small flaw thus far. Let's see if you notice. wink

They apparently have not gone through and proof-read all the dialog yet (or hadn't when awhile ago when that screenshot was released, anyway).

I didn't think it was that bad in BD. The worst I remember in DD was "damage increased by 20 procent" Which is just a translation error I think.

Spelling is easy, it's grammar we're talking about.

If I remember correctly, Raze helped me out a lot with the BD manual in that area.

Well, better keep game mistakes down to zero than spelling mistakes wink . Game bugs are much worse. I would gladly acquiesce few spelling and grammar mistakes if the game runs bug-free. Its especially true for players from non-english speaking states. So if you going to "hunt something" in Larian, please hunt and burn by dragon fire all bugs crazy.

Well, I have feeling that you, Macbeth, are not responsible for game testing, don't you? cool2

I hope that game dialogues wont be "exelent" and "caer no longer" is not official opinion of Larian studios. aargh wink

Actually, it was the loading tips file and some of the dialog; I just missed the manual being finalized.

In grammar invest you must.

I agree with Farflame - a working game is vastly more important than the odd spelling mistake.
