In the "To Save a Soul" arc, you get a clue called "Nathan Crane's soul". This refers to "the Carnival mistress" and "the Carnival Mistress". This should be capitalised consistently.

 

Later in that arc (in a defeat-all):

[NPC] Harlequin Fencer: We've got to find those tomes before $name does.
[NPC] Attendant: We can't have him learning the truth.

 

"Him" is incorrect; it should presumably use the normal facility for picking a word based on the character's gender.

 

Same mission: "You found a book called, 'Introduction to Sanskrit.'" - floating comma. Also in books called "Newt: Pickled, Fried, and Fricasseed" and "Know Your Demons".

 

Later in the arc: "There bones were covered with Cadao's rare herb!". Should be "these".

 

(Not really a typo, but this arc is kind of malformed in that on two occasions you're sent to Cadao Kestrel twice in a row, which reads oddly since in all probability you went to him once then phoned it in, only to be told by the contact that in the last 0.5 seconds he's decided he wants to see you again and inexplicably decided to communicate this to you via the contact (who he knows has been brainslugged by the Carnival) even though you're standing right there.)

 

First mission of Posi 2, the compass tip says:

2 Pieces of evidence to find, 'Retrieve' information from Constructor"

The double quote at the end is spurious.

Who Will Die, Episode 1, Part 2 mish text:

'Why Lemkin going against everything we believed in' should be 'Why Lemkin is going against everything we believed in'

[Cinnder]

Who Will Die, Episode 2, Part 2 mish text:

'You explain to Michael that you found a cellphone off of the Rulu-Shin Gatherer'

 

Leaving aside there's never a valid use for 'off of' -- I think this should actually be 'You explain to Michael that you found a cellphone on the Rulu-Shin Gatherer'

 

EDIT: Also, during this mish there's an interactive filing cabinet where you can open the Top, Middle, or Bottom drawer, but the text calls each of these a 'cabinet' instead of a drawer.  There's only one cabinet.

Summer Blockbuster, when the Grifter is trying to get all the words of the passphrase, if you pick the first magazine Ted Dubois mentions the casino's "ammenities" twice. One of the dialogue options for you also mis-spells the word. Furthermore I think you are offered an opportunity to "Make Ammends" to Sylvia.

[Cinnder]

Pretty much everywhere any contact or other NPC uses the word 'debrief' they actually mean 'brief.'

 

Brief means to give someone information (which is usually what they are doing).

 

Debrief means to ask someone for information, usually after they complete a mission.

 

E.g. Mish briefing from Infernia in the finale of Who Will Die, she says, 'Lady Grey wants to debrief you before you go up' but Lady Grey doesn't ask me stuff; she tells me stuff.

 

Also, when talking to Lady Grey before that last WWD mish, she says, 'I will be providing you magical protection which will allow you to breath in space.'

 

P.S. Whoa, they got one right!  Pandora's Box, The Clamor and the Clangor, mish 2:  After the previous mish didn't go as planned... 'He'd like you to report to Fort Trident to debrief with his team.'

Inside one of Christine Lansdale's timed missions, "Stop villains' leaders, their men, I spotted this bit of chatter:

 

 

The second line should say, "... your voice carries". "Your", not "you're".

[thunderforce]

Chief Interrogator Washington, Finale: Wolf in a Wool Suit: "Mrs. Swift has taken her interrogation very well, she's already provided me with some intriguing information, namely that she isn't the only member of the Syndicate in this curious case." Comma soup. Suggest a full stop or semicolon after "very well".

[Cinnder]

Pandora's Box, Episode 3, Return to James Harvan:

 

'Harvan trials off. ' should be 'Harvan trails off. '

[Cinnder]

Can't believe I've done the Alpha Slot content on numerous characters and never noticed this one before...

 

Mender Ramiel, Part Two:

'The power you had in that timelime was immense'

 

Sounds like the kind of fruit you might find on Gallifrey!

[AxerJ]

Shinobi - Ninja Training - Blaster

 

The brief description includes +run speed and +jump. I'd love for those to be included with the power and I think it'd help the set feel cooler, but they don't activate.

[thunderforce]

Maria Jenkins, A Hero's Epic Part One. "By now you know, Praetoria and it's tyrannical Emperor". Its/It's confusion, and that comma doesn't look right to me either. Suggest "By now you know that Praetoria"... Also, "Several heroes, including yourself, have been insturmental" - typo for instrumental (also reported elsewhere in this thread). "these villains can not be contained", suggest "cannot".

 

"Chimera had on his person the motherboard to the off-line scanner" (clue received after beating him). This sentence structure is ghastly. Suggest "Chimera had the motherboard for the offline scanner on his person".

Edited April 25, 2020 by thunderforce

[thunderforce]

Maria then says the scanners "kept us aprised of the situation in Praetoria". Should be "apprised". (This forum has the bug where sometimes editing a post fails with the cryptic error "REQUIRED".)

[thunderforce]

Sorry to multipost - can't edit. When I say "insturmental" was reported elsewhere in this thread, I mean in a different bit of Jenkins' arc. I'm not (intentionally) reporting stuff that's already known.

[thunderforce]

The next mission in the arc has the compass instruction be, eg, "4 Destroy the scanners!". Suggest "4 scanners to destroy".

[thunderforce]

In "Defeat Praetorians, destroy stolen scanner" (Maria Jenkins again), BCUs say "The Scanner will bring Peace to Praetoria" and "Hand over the Scanner". Spurious capital letters.

[thunderforce]

Jenkins is a rich vein of typos. In "Purge software", Bobcat says "Yes Praetor Berry, I will ensure that the software remains safe" - missing comma after "Yes". Serpent Drummer says "We should go see Tina Macintyre to and see if she has any ideas on what your next move might be". Not sure what "to and see" was meant to be. "You have purged the file, no more copies exist in Praetoria" - semicolon would be better than a comma here, but also the next mission (against Neuron) has me deleting another copy.

 

Next mission:

"You have purged the file, this looks to be the last remnants of Vanguard's software" - suggest "the file; that appeared to be". Semicolon, and past tense.

"Even with my defeat, you can not win!" Suggest "cannot".

Debrief; Jenkins says "we defintely don't need it to be a surprise". "Definitely" is misspelled.

 

In Warrior Earth:

Champions of all types have a description that refers to "War Earth". "You have recovered the Dimensional Resonator, you need to return this to Tina Macintyre." Semicolon, and you aren't returning it to her because she never had it.

 

Tina says "I wonder why they were setting this up on Warrior Earth though?" - comma before "though". "With those Resonators in place, Emperor Cole will be pleased" lacks a full stop.

 

"She created it using similar methods that the Midnight Squad created the Shadow Shard to imprison Rulaaru" - "similar methods to those that the Midnight Squad used to create the Shadow Shard to imprison Rulaaru."

 

Much later, when you go to fight Infernal: "She's bound to him and has no free will of her own, if she's involved then Emperor Cole is defintely pulling the strings. The Praetorian Infernal acts as her bodyguard on occassion, if they have Positron, it's going to be a tough fight. I need you to get to Infernal's Lair and see if they have him.  Infernal keeps his lair in the tunnels system under Praetoria. You'll likely encounter Resistance as well, and they tend to shoot first and ask questions later." Semicolon after "no free will of her own". "occasion" is misspelled, and also wants a semicolon not a comma after it.

 

In the mission where you fight Diabolique, her description is a rather minimalist ".".

 

"Dominatrix: I've been to your world, it needs a bit more Emperor Cole in my opinion!" Suggest "I've been to your world; in my opinion, it needs a bit more Emperor Cole!", but in any case the punctuation needs corrected.

[thunderforce]

Enriched Plutonium salvage: "Uranium that has been enriched into a weapons-grade Plutonium." Spurious capital P. Spurious "a". Also, that's not how uranium enrichment works, but that might be a bit beyond the scope of typo-fixing.

"Several heroes, including yourself, have been instrumental"

 

Not to mention incorrect use of the reflexive pronoun 'yourself' - should be 'you' instead.

 

Then again, this could be one of those situations where they intended to give an NPC 'character' by making them use a common error in speech.

[Cinnder]

Heather Townshend's personal arc, dialogue with Ajax:

 

'Heather Townshend paused in a moment.'

 

I think they mean 'Heather Townshend paused for a moment.'

 

Also why not remove her surname here?  We already know who she is.

 

Just found one I missed before...

 

Ajax says 'The guy that I worked for took care of some monsters' but he is currently still working for Dream Doctor, so it should be 'The guy that I work for took care of some monsters'

In the character creator for the following:

 

Archetype: Brute

Primary Power Pool: Dark Mele

Power: Shadow Punch

 

Description is completely wrong.  It appears to be using most of the description from Dark Consumption instead.

I'm not entirely consistent about this. I would generally tend to ignore common errors - after all, they are common. However, I do tend to report particularly clunky phrasing, even though people do sometimes employ clunky phrasing.

[thunderforce]

Unai Kemen: " I want you to have the best Enhancementsavailable." Space missing.

 

Many radios say "Mission Accomplished". Spurious capital, missing full stop.

[thunderforce]

Mender Silos TF, second mission: "You learned from Manticore, that Arachnos also planned an attack in Striga." Bogus comma. A clue is titled '"Narcotics Shipment' - ie, a loose double quote, says "you didn't notice what was in all the those crates", and refers to "anti depressant medication". I think antidepressant is one word, not two. "Something compels you open this cardboard box" - missing "to" in this glowie text. "hand written" is used twice; I would say "handwritten".

[thunderforce]

Dr Boyd, on first meeting him in the Shadow Shard, complains of "contsant" attacks by ravenous monsters.

 

I'm off to solo all four SSTFs in order so I hope I might uncover a typo or two on the way.

 

Right out the gate, Dr Q can call you "Task Force Bernouili". I suspect he means "Bernouilli".

 

Crey NPCs in Firebase Zulu can say "Thank's for the assist". Even as misplaced apostrophes go, that one's pretty awful. Mixed Crey and Nemesis groups sometimes have swapped dialogue - eg Nemesis saying "You got this, Hero?" (which Crey also say) or "Nemesis is a Madman!" (with a bonus bogus capital letter).

 

Debrief: "the natives know better than to disect a natterling". Typo for "dissect". Next briefing ends "Good luck", no full stop.

[thunderforce]

(These are all from Dr Q's Task Force, to help any dev grepping for them later...)

 

A clue later in the same arc (second rescue-n-explorers mission) says "then the knowledged gained by his sad end". "Knowledge".

 

Incidentally, it's not really clearly to me why the Crey have the friendly dialogue mentioned above. It might make sense if they were neutral NPCs who don't aggro unless attacked, like many Praetorian spawns. "I thought we were done for" is another piece of dialogue that overflows to Nemesis in these spawns.

 

"There may also be other information and samples that Crey has gathered, capturing those will be highly advantageous, but not neccessary for victory." Semicolon before capturing, and "necessary" is misspelled.

 

On the first "Defeat all Crey at base", the entry popup says "You're here for one purpose: To shut down Crey's plans." Bogus capital T.
