"Beneath the Mask" quest typo

[Eloah]

Now, this might have been reported already (or is it intentional? It can't be, right?) but seeing as it is 2.51 it just kinda piqued my interest.

In the cut-scene before you finish the quest, Phillice says: "What remains of our supply has already been distributed to the search party, but worry not. They should be reporting back within a bell7s time."

If you are refering to the "7", then yes, that is a typo, I doubt that would be right in any language, lol. But while reading the sentence I notice something else that seems odd. While the sentence makes sense, the punctuation seems a bit off, at least to me. The "but worry not" part should connect with the second sentence, not the first, like so.

"What remains of our supply has already been distributed to the search party. But worry not, they should be reporting back within a bell's time."

Good to know I'm not the only one that happens to! On Japanese keyboards, the apostrophe is shift+7, so even the localization team accidentally let go of the shift key a bit early sometimes.

Technically you're not supposed to begin a sentence with "But", which is perhaps why they chose to punctuate it the way they did. However, it would not have been wrong to just connect those two sentences with a comma on both sides of "but worry not".

This caught my attention after another thread linked to this one. The technical aspect you mentioned is actually incorrect. Many people have been told, in school, that certain words shouldn't begin or end sentences, but that isn't really true. Any word can begin or end a sentence, the sentence itself just has to make sense within the context of the language. But, (see what I did there, lol) in formal writing, certain words are considered "wrong" only because they are considered informal, when a more formal word would be more appropriate. Think of it like using "but" verses "however", "but" is informal and "however" is more formal. Really it comes down to who your audience is that determines how you speak and what words you use.

Lol, as if to prove my point this video just came out too.
