Voice actor continuity mistakes (Easter Egg Hunt)

Post by donzi » Wed, 29. Aug 12, 10:34

NOTE: I consider this an easter egg hunt.. player "ah-ha" satisfaction factor.

This thread is surly a re-hash but can still be somewhat fun for new and returning players. Not really intended to be bug hunting and obsoleted due to past efforts or hard counts already known within the community.



:gruebel: My count is limited so far because it's based on recent actual play. Noticing these is kind of tricky IMO. Cutscene and plot is often spread out and sort of sparse, and some I just want to skip! ;) ..also hearing the 'normal' words instead of the fictional may just not register as odd at first exposure.

The mistake I've kicked the thread off with became clear while I was trying different things -- mission repeated 2-3 times.

I'd guess the possibillity in finding these in plot and cutscenes is better. but perhaps there are some generic continuity breaks also.

NOTE: I'm not considering pronunciation differences in my list. In X3R alone I think there must be 6 or more variations of "Kha'ak" :wink:

1. Ban Dana's assistant Lt. Seldon - right at start once leaving Argon One he tells you the ship has half of the engine, steering, cargo upgrades, ship extensions <x,y,z), etc without respect to start difficulty. I think he's describing the 'normal' start no matter what.
X3R: 1 confirmed (2.5 english)

1. Ban Dana - preparing a ship for player to scan nividium processing plant - he says it will take a few "minutes" to get the ship ready

Not a continuity mistake, but still an Easter Egg. Sometimes the P.A. system on stations will say that "Egosoft would like to thank you for buying their product."

Translation: Somebody just took a PPC to the fourth wall.

Do you remember how far into the plot(?) that is? I've gotten to where I am supposed to scan the destroyed gate and hadn't noticed the minutes <-> mazura slip.

X3:TC - THe P.A. still announces "Check the Bulletin Board"...

Absolutly every station has 1 and only 1 shuttle to Ringo Moon, which seems to have varying reliabliity...
The only children to ever get lost are Argon and called Suzi! (Shes probably running off to have nookie with the boyfriend by now)...
There's only 1 code for "There's a robbery in progress in the Casino" across the whole universe...
And all station are pet friendly...
Bring back the TS Pirate Ship, I miss my liberated fleet runing around the universe :twisted:
Maybe a fleet of liberated Pirate Ship Super Freighters :roll:

"Priests Dukes Compliments... Here is ship!"
"Teladi now show you how to fight... Ship all yours! Dont kill Teladi!"

Any loose animals, anywhere, will be vapourised on sight. This intolerant station rule has been in place on every station in every installment since at least X2.
Allergic to work.

If at first you don't succeed, delegate the job to a minion.

Loads of errors (rather than mistakes) result from the engine not finishing 1 clip before starting another
e.g.

"Priests dukes compliments... Here is ship"
"Cargo bay now contains... Gate Xenon Sector..."
"Cargo bay now contains... Asteroid..."
"You lose profits... Cargo bay now contains (ware)..."
"You lose profits... I give ship..."

etc...
