    Missing word in NPC Dialogue before during the MSQ 'How the Mighty are Fallen'

    Guydelot: "I'm rather looking forward to hearing the songs of our comrades' homelands. I love a rousing melody no matter it's from!"

    Should be 'no matter where it's from'

    Typo in MSQ: "How The Mighty Are Fallen"

    Burly Trapper: "So they've resorted to sending you to “negotiate”? I know your game, sellsword. If they think we'll give in to intimidation, they've got another think coming!"

    should be thing

    Hi! Welcome to the forums!

    This is not a typo. The localization team often chooses the older forms of words and expressions in order to make the game feel purposely old timey.

    In summary: Another think coming is the older of the two, dating in use to the mid-19th century, and originated in British English. Another thing coming appears to have come about in American English several decades later, probably as a result of confusion regarding the original phrase. Another thing is the more recent turn of phrase and now is more common, though it is frequently criticized.

    In regards to Guydelot's statement: Hi! I wondered about this as well, but thought it might be the intention of the localization team (if even subconsciously) to show that a melody might not only come from a "where", but also a "who" or a "what" or a "when", etc. If this were the case, the bard might actually have said "no matter it's from" using "from" as a location or an object of the preposition, i.e., as saying, "The song, it is of the (or from the) from." Lol--I might, however, be overthinking it...

    You are spot on
    Guydelot's personality is to be a chatty button pusher, so casual and broken speech is one of the digs he uses with Sanson Smyth, who is the no-nonsense and overly professional type.
