KEN-E-Senna?

[Rane]

There's no way that what I'm posting here could really be a bug. I'm writing about some text I saw today while progressing through the early parts of "Into the Dark (Gridania)", a quest that has been in the game since July. Given how many people must have done this quest, and the way in which any spelling or grammatical error is reported here in the LOC forum almost immediately, somebody has to have brought this up before.

I didn't see it mentioned in the thread history, but there are a lot of threads in the LOC forum (many of them submitted by the same person, incidentally), so there's a good possibility I missed something. But I just have to know: what's up with Yuhelmeric calling Kan-E-Senna "Ken-E-Senna"? Is that just his accent? Does he have trouble with Padjali names? Was he thinking about his Barbie collection?

The text in question occurs when talking to Yuhelmeric in Owl's Nest before entering the Darkhold. I didn't have a way to make a screen grab of the text itself when I saw it, but it turns out that you can find it on YouTube.

Thank you, localization team, for all your hard work, and for maintaining such a great presence here on the forums!

Edited: ken e senna is a typo I think, i was thinking it could be her brother but he's A-Rhun or something like that.

I laughed a LOT more than I should have.

Actually, this was my first attempt to gradually replace every instance of Kan with Ken, so that over the course of many patches, I could slowly and completely change the character's name without anyone ever noticing. My motivation for doing this was that if and when she ever died, I could then use the line "Oh my gods, they killed Ken-E!". Thanks for ruining it by pointing this out.

Of course, that is all just an elaborate lie, and this is just an isolated bug that will be fixed as of 1.21. Thanks for the post!

"When she died" or "if she ever died"? Getting into teasing us with possible fake spoilers, are we?
