Regarding conversation with harold, following the Hydro thread. Theres a line that seems to be odd, but dunno if its a bug.
H "They shoot ghouls on sight, makes conversation a bit tricky."
Me "I wonder if someone else could tell them."
Then it jumps back to him saying we need a hydro...
Just to be clear, I don't mind increased encounters. Im happy about them actually. Im just not happy that the moment I START traveling, I get an encounter almost every time. Especially after I just had a random encounter.
So its not the frequency bugging me, its the timing. At least give me...

"mob?" Mobster...
Maida says se instead of sw, so it seems I installed the patch correctly.
Kay found a few bugs already, when fighting ants in the temple of trials, it says 'lesser rat was killed' rather than ant (or whatever it was before). It also identifys them as lesser rats on mouseover. It does...
