User:Redshift/Media Watch

If you'd like to assist in the Media Watch project, please go here.

Below are compilations of my observations from a smattering of media releases. Please feel free to look through and update the Wiki accordingly.

I try to be thorough, with the following notes and caveats:

• I will not usually be documenting skill information. Most of the basic names and descriptions are known, while numbers are still changing. Also, I like my eyesight.
• I will probably omit 'established' or 'well-documented' information for the sake of avoiding excessive length and redundancy. This is purely subjective.
• I will try to adhere to punctuation/grammar as provided in-game. However, I'm, as far as I know, only human. Maybe with a little bit of robot.

• What do we call NPCs that 'share' events? For the time being, maybe calling them guides, to relate them to scouts? For standardization, also using 'share'.

Discrepancies

A list of typographical oddities noticed through the media:

• Assisting Jace Daris in Guardian's Pass: Upon completion, Jace's name is spelled 'Jace Darice'.
• Leading Tzark to The Lovers' Crypt (objective text): The map location is typed out 'The Lover's Crypt'
• 'Help Shaman Sigarr' in the norn starter area: An auto-correct occurrence from Shaman Sigarr to Shaman Sugarr (description text).
