I didn't expect myself to come over this issue once again (not to mention the sole fact of posting here) but this is something I can't miss.Long ago I didn't know anything about the TELP community and was just playing Russian version of MM9 and then encountered a few serious fatal bugs. After a few minutes of googling I was already mailing Bones and this mail started a long path of making a localization of 1.3 patch. Now I should've said a few words about my twisted personality which is sometimes the reason of me straying out of my real job because I can't stand but look inside of everything I encounter. That was actually the reason why Russian 1.3a was never finished since I was getting on John's nerves with endless ideas, suggestions and findings that I was overflowing with. I was looking through commented scripts, unused dialogue files, data entries and pictures and could never stop wondering what could be done with them. It was about Fizbin, about Ta'Sar 'quest' and some others, but in the end all those efforts were destined to be forgotten in vain since I finally arrived to the point in my life where real life absorbed me.
So what I've wanted to say is that I am more than happy to see all those efforts find place in you and that you are willing to go to the end with them. I really hope you'll be able to go with this enthusiastic motivation even knowing that MM9 is dead for everybody except those few people who're still visiting this tavern discussing this game. Do your best
I'm not sure I can find those e-mails from long ago but there's one thing I remember for sure: I've found some interesting dialogues regarding 'brother-in-arms'. IIRC it could be heard from tavern-keeper in Drangheim. I'm not sure if this 'brother-in-arms' thing was intended to find place in any side-quest but in the end I didn't have time to get a closer look. This is just a suggestion, maybe you'll find something that I didn't and there will be another new hidden quest.
Once again, thanks for your work!
