Language, Timothy! XTC

Post by Alan Phipps »

I had to do a reload to believe my ears on this one. I was doing a routine delivery job for medical equipment for a Boron chappie. Just before docking with the goods, I received a 'hurry-up' message. The log entry is 'You must hurry, my tentacles are drying out!' however Egosoft's Boron voice actor definitely does not say 'tentacles'! It is a somewhat similar sounding word and does refer to body parts though. :o

Quick, call the Daily Ma*l. They can start a campaign to have the game withdrawn from sale :wink:

It's just that boron accent. Certainly you misunderstood.

And anyway - how would you know which exact body part a boron is referring to? Tentacles and/or testicles may have completely different functions, not to mention the etiquette for when and how to refer to them.

There is no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Well if it's worth an urgent delivery of medical supplies costing a few million credits, whatever it is drying out must be very painful!

Well since it's a Boron and he/she/it has something drying out and is painful, I would suggest to the fish that they get back in the water ASAP and they're problem will be solved.
