Weird punctuation while talking with Naffige for the first time #5

Closed adiabatic closed 1 year ago

adiabatic commented 1 year ago

I'm watching Zfg1 play a then-soon-to-be-released version of Indigo. I noticed some weird punctuation when talking to Naffige for the first time, at around 12013 seconds into the video.

Here's what the screen looks like:

Naffige, The Occulyte

Greetings friend. What brings you here? My name is Naffige, I'm a devout researcher of the Scar.

"My name is Naffige" and "I'm a devout researcher of the Scar" are two independent clauses, so they really ought to be separated by something other than just a comma. Even if the mod is being done in elocutionary punctuation instead of syntactic, I'm still having trouble imagining someone saying those two things with only a comma-duration pause in between, just like I have trouble imagining someone saying "Greetings friend" without at least a comma-level pause in between.

Doubly so since Naffige doesn't seem like a particularly breathless guy, especially when the subject of what he wants you to collect comes up. The long piles of ellipses that he uses to convey loooong pauses; I wouldn't expect a fast-talker to pause that much for a subject like that.

As for the changes I'd recommend:

…although I don't know if OoT has a good em dash available in its font.

Additionally I noticed at least one typo earlier in the stream, possibly a misspelling of "endeavor". If you'd be interested in further reports of either misspellings and/or grammar nitpicks, please let me know either way. Thanks!
