    It could be a regional difference, similar to the difference between grey and gray in our primary world.

    It's probably a typo?

    The correct spelling is "Boreas." Any other spelling in the game is incorrect and would be considered a bug.

    Here is an example of a NPC who uses BOTH Boreas AND Boreus in his sentences:

    07/23/2023 14:43
    Title:
    Reproduction Rate:
    Blocker? no
    Details: Fitz Geaef in Aerie (Traveller) has some sentences in which he uses Boreas, one where he uses Boreus and a key word below "boreus" (written small despite being a name) so there are now 3 versions of the name: Boreas, Boreus and boreus. Could the thread be moved to the bug forum?

    Steps to Reproduce:
    User Specs:
    OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics (12) System RAM: 15742
    GPU: AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics GPU RAM: 4430
    SotA.Win.64.1666.Date.07.11.23
    Area: Novia_R7_City_Aerie
    Area Display Name: Aerie
    Loc: (33.7, 28.4, -47.4)
    Debug: Tm92aWFfUjdfQ2l0eV9BZXJpZXx8KDMzLjcxMSwgMjguNDIxLCAtNDcuMzg4KXwoMCwgMC40MSwgMCwgMC45MTIpfC0zMTkuMjcyNnw0Mi43MzA3N3wyLjA1MDUx


    Gabrielle Townsend (Aerie) uses Boreus when asked about truth.

    Noella (Aerie) uses Boreus in her sentences (e.g. when asked about aerie), but Boreas below as key word.

    Caradec (Aerie guard) uses Boreus in his sentences and boreus as key word.
    "That is the only port that SAILS to Elysium if you want to reach Artifice." says --> sails



    Should I report others when I notice them? Or is that a simple matter of running a search&replace command over a textfile to find all instance of Boreus and boreus and replace them with Boreas?

    Yes, report each one. You can group up all the typos you see in a session within one report if you want. I really wish that it was as simple as a search and replace, but it's not and I have to go to each NPC's conversation, select the specific response, and make the specific typo fix. Anyway, added this report as issue #71568

    A stupid question but why is it not as easy as search&replace?
    In the patch notes it was stated that:

    Would not that spellchecker check the spelling of Boreas and prevent Boreus and boreus?

    It's not a stupid question and I so wish I could sort through the conversation data easily.

    That task you mentioned was completed by a programmer. I'm not a programmer and need designer-facing tools. We use Unity to create Shroud of the Avatar, but I am required to use a custom conversation editor in which I enter data outside of the Unity editor. The conversation editor was also created by our quest creator, and in some important ways it's unfortunately not very user-friendly. The saved data isn't designer-facing, so sifting through that data is troublesome for me. Also, there is no way to make batch changes--each conversation I fix needs individual care.

    That being said, another member of the team has supplied me with a list of all occurrences of the "Boreus" typo. There are 263 conversations with this typo, and possibly multiple occurrences in each conversation. I'll have to manually poke through each conversation to find all mentions, individually change each one, regenerate each conversation one at a time, and then save everything into our file storage setup.

    Aerie Guard Emme Delaney still uses Boreus instead of Boreas:

    We did a search for instances of "Boreas" in the game and I'm doing a big sweep through all of them. Everyone can pause on reporting these typos for now. The corrections will be added with release 118.
