    Archer Guild Quest "Filling the Quiver" - Erroneous replies

    During the first cut scene after leaving the guild, for the Archer Guild Quest "Filling the Quiver, at the Emerald Moss camp, Keelty asks "Shall we begin, then?" At this point options appear for the answer. However, the reply options for the player seem to have been written for a different question. My Highlander Archer's options were" "As much as I'll ever be." and another one, equally mismatched to the question asked.

    It seems that said question, at some point in the editorial process of the text, must have gone along the lines of "Are you ready?"

    It's a small detail, I know, but it speaks of uncharacteristic carelessness.

    This is one of those times that I understand why English is regarded as over-complicated.

    When something can be read either as "Are you ready for us to" or "Shall we," it doesn't seem like it'd make a difference -- and yet here we are.

    This is one of those things that's just "game-y," for lack of a better phrase. The UI box itself asks you a different question, other than the one Kielty asked you. Your responses are for that UI box's question more than Kielty's. It is indeed a bit awkward, but I've played through...a significant portion of this game, and it's never really bothered me at all. And this kind of thing is all over the place, too.

    I envy you, Mermentia. This type of inconsistency is what I'm always trying to catch and/or avoid in my real-life work, and I have a lot of trouble dealing with it in stuff I pay for.
