Unused rumors #241

Open BC46 opened 2 months ago

BC46 commented 2 months ago

There are quite a few unused rumor texts stored in FL's misctextinfo2.dll. IDS 393650 to 393703 aren't told by any NPC in the game. Some of these rumors are quite interesting, especially the ones that are related to the end-game, e.g:

H 393699
    Look, you didn’t hear this from me, but I think the Chancellor has gone mad. He’s openly attacking members of his own family, questioning their loyalty, and attempting to root out a traitor who none of us believe really exists.

H 393700
    You know, it wasn’t always this way … something’s happened to us. Rheinland used to be a noble place — full of culture and heritage. Now, it seems like all you hear about is war and violence. If I were you, I’d leave here as quickly as you can.

H 393703
    There is probably a military coup going on in Liberty right now, though no one will admit it. I think Jacobi is quite a strong woman, but, judging by the evidence, her dissenters in the military probably had her killed.

It would be nice if these unused rumors could be told by at least one NPC such that the player will be able to actually see them.
