    Typo in Shadowbringers quest "An unreasonable request"

    Platform: Windoze
    NPC: "Teanna" Quest "An unreasonable request" Text: See image below. "think" should be "thing."



    Criticism: having to login to your forum and help you with your mis-translation is a real pain. First time doing so, but it did waste about 15 minutes of my time and I would rather you just make this possible through the in-game support tool as I originally tried to use.

    Both versions are valid.

    Please do a simple internet search before complaining about "typos".

    Also please search the forum so you don't bring up duplicate non-issues.

    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.
