To whoever writes the new content for fonline
VongJin:
if u ever played Fallout1/2 u should know what there was NPC *who talking like borat* Sulik for example, he's a tribal he don't know grammar(it's all about the game atmosphere). And i don't mean what whole questgivers should talk like that.
PuzzledGorilla:
There are many dialects of English. The dialogue in Fonline reads like a Russian who has been speaking English for two years. Sulik speaks like a caricature of idiocy, which was done intentionally for comedic effect. These two things are not the same and if you are not able to distinguish between the two then you are not in a position to have an opinion about whether the grammar in the dialogue is up to par or not.

The new character quests, the sergeant in adytium, pretty much all of the new dialog is horribly written in broken english that I hope is a result of using babelfish. I will gladly correct all the grammar and spelling mistakes without changing the content of the text.

You can still post all the dialogues mistakes in one thread in the Bugs section, and devs will correct it.

Wouldn't that mean he'd have to manually copy them from the game? I mean surely a text dump does not present a security risk?

That would involve me making tons of new characters trying to get every possible game start location, not to mention multiple convo threads per NPC. I tried collecting screenshots but there's no way to be through. I can handle the text dump solo, my job is to do English proofreading for videogames, I worked on shit like yakuza 3.
Also sulik talked the way he did because that's how they wrote his character, not because the devs were illiterate. Fonline isn't being made by people whom English is a first language so the quality of the writing is pretty bad. I'm not saying this to be insulting, I'd have a harder time trying to write in german or polish for instance.
