    "Two Vans are better than one" quest dialogue

    Soo I am one of those people that actually do read game dialogue for quests... and I noticed this mess of words.

    This is the quest "Two vans are better than one" guild company quest for the Order of the Twin Adder in Gridania.

    "Men such as van Darnus and van Baelsar are not wont to engage in idle chatter."
    I believe it ought to say: "are not one to engage in idle chatter."

    Actually, wont means Accustomed or used, so that sentence is correct ;P

    Yeah ok edeon :P how often do you hear "wont" ? we all hear "won't" and that is how i mistakenly read it.

    I have never seen someone use "wont" ...ever. lol

    It just makes the sentence a strange read, unless you are familiar that its actually a word itself.. you will just think its a typo. Just like how I did. >_>

    Wont is an archaism. You see that sort of language a lot in this game.
