When I'm not farming or zerging for the best xp/minute, I often take the time to re-read the NPC dialogue, listen to the stories, look at item descriptions, and so on. Part of what makes this game great is the flavour, and some storylines have truly excellent writing. It's an aspect of the game I enjoy.

Now, people have posted screenshots of typos in various threads, and made threads about them, in order for them to be fixed. For this reason, I got into the habit of taking a screenshot whenever I noticed a typo. Believe it or not I haven't been actively looking for these; just documenting them when I find them. Nevertheless, after a few months of this, my collection has grown quite large. So I post them here for the devs to do with what they will, if anything.

Here they are!

One of the Avithoul Relics in House of Broken Chains. Don't need the 'be' between 'never' and 'revolt'.
https://i.ibb.co/sPsmmQj/Typo-1-Avithoul-Relic.jpg

Danika Martikov in the Barovian explorer area. The comma should be after 'adventurer'. Could also do with putting a proper ellipsis in the option "you're a .. wereraven?"
https://i.ibb.co/jM9St9F/Typo-2-Danika-Martikov.jpg

Extraneous ‘be’ in the last sentence. Barovia wilderness.
https://i.ibb.co/2jsSxMT/Typo-20-Barovia-Forest-Trapper.jpg

Walak, the quest giver for Trial by Fury, in Eveningstar. Missing ‘of’ in the last line between ‘one’ and ‘these’.
https://i.ibb.co/m9dYHn5/Typo-3-Walak.jpg

Hamond Byre, quest giver for The Mark of Death. ‘Every’ should be ‘ever’ (this is quite a common typo in DDO).
https://i.ibb.co/mDzprNV/Typo-4-Hamond-Byre.jpg

Auctioneers of all kinds say this; this one’s in Eveningstar, but I’ve seen it in Sharn and many other places. ‘Good’ should be ‘Goods’.
https://i.ibb.co/b7fQQR3/Typo-5-Auctioneers.jpg

This is not strictly speaking incorrect, but I strongly suspect it’s meant to be “scraps of the banner” instead of “scraps of banner” in the flavour text.
https://i.ibb.co/Q80NLjx/Typo-6-Shroud-of-Ardent.jpg

From the quest giver for Safety in Numbers. Third paragraph: “I went back to the station”. Also in the second paragraph, the comma in “teach those Warforged a lesson, too bad they won’t remember it” ought really to be a full stop, or a semi-colon. Or an ellipsis. Just not a comma.
https://i.ibb.co/P18M59V/Typo-7-Soul-Splitter-2.jpg

This is from The Underlane Assignment. It’s probably meant to be “less-advantaged neighborhoods.” And “Feel free to borrow”. Also the random indent in the fifth line.
https://i.ibb.co/RyfqC7y/Typo-8-Soul-Splitter-3.jpg

Dialogue on completion of Members Only. Fourth paragraph, another ‘every’ when it should be ‘ever’.
https://i.ibb.co/vw6dvCh/Typo-9-Soul-Splitter-4-completion.jpg

DM text at the end of White Plume Mountain. Missing space.
https://i.ibb.co/fNp0JLQ/Typo-10-White-Plume-Mountain-end.jpg

This is on the Legendary Silverthread Belt’s flavour text – presumably on the standard one as well. I can only assume it’s meant to be “This silver thread, woven, amplifies aligned magic.”
https://i.ibb.co/jH269L6/Typo-11-Silverthread-Belt.jpg

(Legendary) Gossamer Weave flavour text. Missing full stop.
https://i.ibb.co/8jTgHJK/Typo-12-Gossamer-Weave.jpg

The next two are Monster Manual entries for Orc and Iron Defender. In both cases there are missing spaces between full stops and the beginning of the next sentence (two in the case of Orc). This seems like a problem where, when extra lore is revealed, the text is attached to the end of the previous entry, with no space at the beginning. I suspect there are many instances of this throughout the Manuals.
https://i.ibb.co/7tCCggy/Typo-13-Orc-Monster-Manual.jpg
https://i.ibb.co/f4hPyMn/Typo-17-Iron-Defender-Monster-Manual.jpg

Ice Flenser Monster Manual. The last sentence’s tense is mangled. Remove the ‘ing’ from ‘bounding’ and ‘killing’ to make it agree.
https://i.ibb.co/mBM63DQ/Typo-14-Ice-Flenser-Monster-Manual.jpg

Impossible Demands. Extra space in front of “Thread of the Weave.”
https://i.ibb.co/h7FgjWs/Typo-15-Impossible-Demands.jpg

And a missing space. Also from Impossible Demands.
https://i.ibb.co/Sd96Yps/Typo-84-Impossible-Demands-2.jpg

Space at the start of the second line. From Dividing the Loot encounter in the King’s Forest.
https://i.ibb.co/s6v3FcL/Typo-16-Dividing-the-Loot-King-s-Forest.jpg

Don’t need a comma after ‘What’. Veraxiena in the King’s Forest.
https://i.ibb.co/CJBCr2F/Typo-81-Veraxiena-King-s-Forest.jpg

What happened here? Missing ‘know’ and that /n thing. From House of Death Undone.
https://i.ibb.co/2gNbg6Y/Typo-18-House-of-Death-Undone.jpg

“Oh, it is, it is!” House of Death Undone.
https://i.ibb.co/W6ZND8w/Typo-19-House-of-Death-Undone-end.jpg

Loading screen for Temple of the Deathwyrm.
https://i.ibb.co/dfVz8xC/Typo-21-Temple-of-the-Deathwyrm-loading-screen.jpg

Should be ‘inscribed’ in the flavour text.
https://i.ibb.co/T23p7TR/Typo-22-Ring-of-Time.jpg

The use of hyphens in the flavour text is inconsistent. The second dash – after ‘secret’ – should have a space in front of it. Or it should be a colon.
https://i.ibb.co/qgmGBPR/Typo-23-Adamantine-Knuckles.jpg

The old Mortality – in case he ever comes back? ‘Bussiness’.
https://i.ibb.co/zfP6pv8/Typo-24-Mortality-old.jpg

Quest-arc NPC for the Borderlands. ‘shopld’.
https://i.ibb.co/RHWndJ9/Typo-25-Borderlands-chain-giver.jpg

Another case of ‘ever’ being ‘every’. Quest giver for Bugbear Bandits.
https://i.ibb.co/K7cYwG1/Typo-26-Varka-Goldring-Bugbear-Bandits.jpg

Second paragraph, ‘you’ should be ‘you’re’. Quest giver for Total Chaos.
https://i.ibb.co/9GmR82G/Typo-27-Howarth-Total-Chaos.jpg

Same NPC. ‘Eerie’ has three Es.
https://i.ibb.co/J21nGSP/Typo-28-Howarth-Total-Chaos-second.jpg

Interogator’s Shield. Waterworks end reward. Should be 'Interrogator’s'.
https://i.ibb.co/mH87Fr9/Typo-29-Interrogator-s-Shield.jpg

‘Devestated’. Stormcleave Outpost.
https://i.ibb.co/L0qsFff/Typo-30-Stormcleave-Outpost.jpg

‘Immunity’ should be ‘immune’.
https://i.ibb.co/b6V2kmg/Typo-31-Fire-Savant-A.jpg

In the very last paragraph, missing ‘a’ after ‘strike’. Also the random indenting.
https://i.ibb.co/wM0Ks3h/Typo-38-Fire-Savant-B.jpg

The full stop before after ‘Ashok’. From Purge the Fallen Shrine.
https://i.ibb.co/BqtRJbk/Typo-32-Ashok-Purge-the-Fallen-Shrine.jpg

Missing space. From Just Business.
https://i.ibb.co/pPPmjwY/Typo-33-Just-Business.jpg

‘Cassock’ is misspelled, and there’s an extra space in the flavour text.
https://i.ibb.co/d6cwXh6/Typo-34-Quicksilver-Cassock.jpg

Missing space in the flavour text.
https://i.ibb.co/G3CnDVX/Typo-35-Shield-of-the-Scorpion.jpg

Missing full stop after ‘hauberk’ in the flavour text.
https://i.ibb.co/kByVg4t/Typo-36-Silken-Mail.jpg

Missing apostrophe on ‘mausoleums’. Also, a colon or dash would be better than a full stop after the first sentence. Quest giver for Litany of the Dead.
https://i.ibb.co/pKQn6hM/Typo-37-Sir-Rohine-Litany-of-the-Dead.jpg

Unneeded apostrophes on ‘Ogres’ and ‘spiders’. From Let Sleeping Dust Lie.
https://i.ibb.co/jkjWmXz/Typo-39-Rudyka-Tywand-Let-Sleeping-Dust-Lie.jpg

Unneeded apostrophe on ‘20s’.
https://i.ibb.co/cLrXK0F/Typo-40-Voice-of-the-Master.jpg

A few things going on here… Firstly, I think ‘pale’ is meant to be ‘pall’. Second, it should read “insisting she speaks to her father.” Third, the extra e in ‘development’. And last, ‘began’ should be ‘begun’. From The Friar’s Niece.
https://i.ibb.co/Ctg5HjD/Typo-41-The-Friar-s-Niece.jpg

‘Marguerite’ misspelled. DM text from Setting the Wards: The Patriarch’s Crypt.
https://i.ibb.co/MgWZj7X/Typo-46-Patriarch-s-Crypt.jpg

The full stop after ‘focus’ should be a comma. Endgame: Marguerite.
https://i.ibb.co/4gHMPrt/Typo-42-Endgame-Margeurite.jpg

Last line, “it helps for a while.” Endgame: Marguerite.
https://i.ibb.co/wBRYJ4C/Typo-43-Endgame-Margeurite-two.jpg

“I would have been named his successor”. Endgame: Marguerite.
https://i.ibb.co/tm36JDw/Typo-44-Endgame-Margeurite-three.jpg

From the loading screen to Alcorin’s Forge – Staging Area.
https://i.ibb.co/7Czkp2R/Typo-45-Alcorin-s-Staging-Area-loading-screen.jpg

Should be a full stop instead of a comma after ‘systems’. The Pit quest giver.
https://i.ibb.co/Qk7bwtB/Typo-47-The-Pit.jpg

‘Capacity’. From Memory Lapse.
https://i.ibb.co/4fYdcgr/Typo-48-Memory-Lapse.jpg

This is The Truthful One’s dialogue from the Anniversary Event. Should be “have a nice pleasant evening.”
https://i.ibb.co/vz0vMn5/Typo-49-Anniversary-Event-Truthful-One.jpg

‘Savvy’ misspelled ‘saavy’.
https://i.ibb.co/sKNhYVZ/Typo-50-Behn-the-Prospector.jpg

Missing ‘and’ in the fourth paragraph. The Spawn of Whisperdoom quest giver.
https://i.ibb.co/dgY80B1/Typo-51-Eriephaus-Spawn-of-Whisperdoom.jpg

Missing space in DM text in Frame Work.
https://i.ibb.co/b7SCBhT/Typo-52-Frame-Work.jpg

Should be “all of a sudden”. Eyes of Stone.
https://i.ibb.co/NxnRD9B/Typo-53-Fiona-Darnel-Eyes-of-Stone.jpg

Double ‘the’. Undermine.
https://i.ibb.co/nrdkcHm/Typo-55-Undermine.jpg

Middle line, ‘was’ instead of ‘way’. Mired in Kobolds.
https://i.ibb.co/w0cLVPp/Typo-54-Dael-Mired-in-Kobolds.jpg

It’s written ‘in’ instead of ‘is’. The Reaver’s Fate.
https://i.ibb.co/CMV7Wp8/Typo-56-Minor-Static-Charge-The-Reaver-s-Fate.jpg

Memoirs of an Illusionary Larcener. ‘To be to be’.
https://i.ibb.co/8PT3Smk/Typo-57-Memoirs-of-an-Illusionary-Larcener.jpg

Also from Memoirs. ‘Bussiness’.
https://i.ibb.co/C0xT3DM/Typo-58-Memoirs-2.jpg

The last paragraph, “his servants tell be”. Tower of Frost quest giver.
https://i.ibb.co/JQHffcz/Typo-59-Crawben-Bix-Tower-of-Frost.jpg

In the first paragraph, ‘manifestations’ is missing an i. And really the comma after ‘servants’ should be a semi-colon.
https://i.ibb.co/2v0SWCv/Typo-60-Crawben-Bix-Tower-of-Frost-2.jpg

Remove the ‘as’ from the first sentence, or put a comma after ‘repeatedly’ and delete ‘that’. ‘Researches’ should just be ‘research’. Tower of Frost.
https://i.ibb.co/nRC7fgc/Typo-61-Tower-of-Frost-3.jpg

Extraneous ‘to’. Quest giver for Night Falls on Stormreach.
https://i.ibb.co/jyCkyN1/Typo-62-Bril-Norgate-Night-Falls-on-Stormreach.jpg


Random NPC dialogue in Night Falls on Stormreach. “There are ten people”.
https://i.ibb.co/XXhKqsn/Typo-63-Night-Falls-2.jpg

Should be a full stop instead of a comma after ‘noted’. Night Falls.
https://i.ibb.co/7rWMvYt/Typo-64-Night-Falls-3.jpg

‘Everything’ is missing a y in the second paragraph. This sentence could also do with a dash or semi-colon instead of a comma. Night Falls.
https://i.ibb.co/FYTRPp6/Typo-65-Night-Falls-4.jpg

‘Perturbation’ and ‘stiumlation’. Night Falls.
https://i.ibb.co/F4vDd1b/Typo-66-Night-Falls-5.jpg

Missing apostrophe on ‘that’s’ in the last paragraph. Quarantine quest giver.
https://i.ibb.co/3Nsp7N1/Typo-67-Elsa-d-Jorasco-Quarantine.jpg

‘Bruises’, fourth line. In Quarantine.
https://i.ibb.co/175nzZb/Typo-68-Elsa-Quarantine-2.jpg

Pretty sure ‘out’ is meant to be ‘our’ in the last paragraph. Toxic Treatment.
https://i.ibb.co/jrrb32c/Typo-69-Toxic-Treatment.jpg

Missing full stop. Smash and Burn.
https://i.ibb.co/z2M46tb/Typo-70-Smash-and-Burn.jpg

Extra t in ‘stench’. Acid Wit quest giver.
https://i.ibb.co/LZ74NPg/Typo-71-Acid-Wit.jpg

‘Brethren’ in the first paragraph has an extra e. Third Time’s a Charm quest giver.

‘Portcullis’. DM text in Third Time’s a Charm.
https://i.ibb.co/X71DSJS/Typo-73-Third-Time-s-a-Charm-2.jpg

Second paragraph, “seem to suggest”. Third paragraph, ‘protagonist’. From Desire in the Dark.
https://i.ibb.co/QFJ1kG7/Typo-74-Desire-in-the-Dark.jpg

This is in Reaver’s Reach. Need a comma after ‘battle’ in the second sentence. You could argue for some other commas but that would break up the flow of the writing in my opinion.
https://i.ibb.co/GMJWLhM/Typo-75-Stormreaver-Reaver-s-Reach.jpg

Extraneous comma after ‘was’ in the last sentence of the first paragraph. One of the NPCs in Search and Rescue.
https://i.ibb.co/b570chh/Typo-76-Search-and-Rescue.jpg

Missing l on ‘I’ll let the other Harpers know’ in the fourth paragraph. Reward dialogue for Mask of Deception.
https://i.ibb.co/yYLMVH0/Typo-77-Mask-of-Deception-end.jpg

Missing space in the first paragraph. NPC dialogue in The Riddle.
https://i.ibb.co/Dfntkt6/Typo-78-The-Riddle.jpg

‘Khyber’ is misspelled. Quest giver for I Dream of Jeets.
https://i.ibb.co/xHH3T7Q/Typo-79-I-Dream-of-Jeets.jpg

‘Its’ should be ‘The’ in the flavour text.
https://i.ibb.co/W5kTPQ0/Typo-80-Bell-of-Warding.jpg

Missing full stop in the middle. This is from the chest upstairs in A Stay at the Inn.
https://i.ibb.co/BL3v2vp/Typo-82-A-Stay-at-the-Inn.jpg

Don’t need the apostrophe on ‘its’. Gianthold Tor.
https://i.ibb.co/RpKJ6F4/Typo-83-Gianthold-Tor.jpg

From Fless-Onas (I think), in Don’t Drink the Water.

Unneeded space after ‘avenged’. Reward dialogue for Amber Temple.

Don’t know what happened here but the mistake is obvious. From Madam Eva’s dialogue/DM text in The Curse of Strahd.
https://i.ibb.co/30x9xzf/Typo-90-Curse-of-Strahd.jpg

I can't stand when I see these typos myself and have been working to stamp them out wherever possible. Most of the dev team is quite busy and it's easy to miss these in text you read over knowing what you expect it to say after dozens of playthroughs to make sure the big stuff works. So I personally have to thank you for sharing all of these and I'll see how many we can get squashed asap! Thank you!!

If anyone else has more they know of, please keep them coming. :cool:

The Guardian who provides transport to the Keep on the Borderlands in the Guardians' Grove still mentions a remaining in Korthos option. The dialogue should mention Stormreach instead now that the portal keeper has been moved to the Grove location.

"(Dungeon Master): Arawai is the goddess of plant life, fertility, and abundance, and is one of the best-loved of the Sovereign Host. However, this isolated wilderness temple has fallen into disuse. Her follwers instead flock to her many shrines inside the city of Stormreach."

(Dungeon Master): You've entered the ruined temple by its long-abandoned rear entrance. Foxpaw came here to find some sort of "sacred bounty". It's time for you to figure out just what that was.

How nitpicky are we getting? :D Period should go inside the quotes.

Quest: The Old Archives (both Heroic and Epic version)
NPC: Head Librarian Guillaume (right next to entrance)
Dialogue: ".And hidden in secret compartments scattered throughout the library." (there is a misplaced fullstop at the beginning of the sentence) - this is the "Say" kind of dialogue that appears over the NPC, not the kind dialogue that appears in a text box
