As Goes Light, So Goes Darkness typo

Hi!

I didn't manage to take a screenshot; however, part-way through the solo trial of the post-HW quest titled "As Goes Light, So Goes Darkness", after we rescue the second hostage, Artoirel has a dialogue appear as a drop-down banner where it says that they have "sounded the alarum". This should read alarm.

That's all :D

This is not an error. Alarum is the archaic spelling of alarm. Please look up the words you want to report before reporting them. This game often uses the archaic spellings in order to give the dialog an old timey fantasy feel. Also use the search feature to make sure the issue (or non-issue) hasn't been raised before.
