    [​IMG] There are a couple of spoken dialogues in the game that say one thing in the text, yet the spoken words are different. For example:

    Anomen
    Text says: "There. It is done. etc."
    Spoken says: "There. For good or ill it is done."

    Anomen (again)
    Text says: "I have been thinking about Sir Ryan Trawl and the Order etc."
    Spoken says: "I have been thinking about Sir Kayl and the Order"

    Jaheira
    Text says: "And you? Did you become a Priest of Torm only for honour and glory?"
    Spoken says: "And you? Did you become a Priest of Helm only for honour and glory?"

    Has anyone else noticed these things, or noticed any more of them? :confused:

    Well yes I encountered some dilaogues wh,ch had a little different texts than voicings, but they were all small details.

    [​IMG] Much of what Irenicus says isn't repeated verbatim in text, I've noticed. If you want everything to match you can always change the dialogue text files to correspond precisely with what's spoken, and make a mod out of it. ;)

    But they don'T make a huge difference, voicing generally uses synonyms or shortened, quicker versions of the text given.

    Anybody noticed the CWs can't count? During the cutscene while taking Imoen and Jon to Spellhold, the lead CW says, "Did he not slay four of you?" I counted 3 staves on the ground in the Promenade.

    I always count four dying. But the really weird thing is that Irenicus only kills three; the fourth one (on the left) just spontaneously explodes. No matter how many times I see it, I can't help chuckling. "If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?"->"If your friends died, would you spontaneously die too?" :shake:

    @Fel: in my game, they all spontaneously explode. I think it's a bug that ToB introduces; the timing of the animations is slightly off, which makes the whole sequence look a bit daft, really. All the spell related bells & whistles only appear after all the Cowlies have been kibbled. :shake:

    Perhaps the stress was too much for him and he blew up due the sheer fear? :D
