The Great inconsistency hunt is on!

There is a specific NPC telling you about the river. Somewhere next to the plaza. Go buy her fish!

Not sure if this was mentioned but Sharven says that Galeran Tarbius wrote the book of names and it was inspired by Laanx but the Gazebo's description says that he met Laanx and was given the book by him/her/it.

Given in a figurative sense?

[Parallo]

Meh, that'll do the job. Cheers.

In the Player Guide, the description for Lemurs states "they have a pale and azure complexion." The accompanying artwork shows greenish skin, as opposed to the bright blue indicated by the word "azure".

Jayose welcomes visitors to the library with "Welcome to Jayose's Librams and Codexes". The plural of codex is codices.

Settings knows this, but if I had Jayose welcome visitors to the library with "codices" it would be inconsistent with the sign in front of the library. So yes, it's an error, but it's consistent.

You could always add some dialog regarding the poor quality of the paint job, maybe even a quest that is certain to fail to try to get the painter to fix the error that he made. In other words play it up a little rather than just live with it. I suppose that has already been thought of.

[LigH]

Darn.

You suggested a quest.

Now it will never be implemented in this way.

Change both.

This is alpha. All settings changes are still gravy.

In fact, none of the game's signs should be in English -- since the denizens of Yliakum certainly neither speak nor read that language, all of the signs should be in THEIR language, most commonly Ylian since it is the language that the most people understand there. It actually hurts suspension of disbelief and our RP experience for us to see English in the graphics.

For the matters of "your" consistency: Will you make your characters then also speak Ylian only (or whatever), instead of english?

[ThomPhoenix]

Be understanding please, the art isn't something that can just be changed by anyone.

You're muddling two fundamentally different things as one. Art is hard-coded visually. It is what is understood to be there physically -- imagining that the sign is written in Ylian when all that you see on the display in front of you is words in English breaks a suspension of your disbelief in the game world. The player is made to imagine something as if it were not, and it's a minor little dent in the RP experience.

On the other hand, text in the chat box is simply understood by everyone as a translation of what is spoken in the game world, no different than subtitles for a foreign-produced movie (it's just that in Planeshift's case, we don't actually hear the foreign voices at all).

Be understanding please, the art isn't something that can just be changed by anyone.

Of course not, just the art team.

[Raa]

No one in Yliakum speaks English... They speak their own language, but it just sounds a lot like English. 

[Ver]

No, it doesn't necessarily have to sound like English. It is "translated" as English in our chat windows.
