The PipBoy should say "The target audience ... seems to be young, blond men ..." because "blond" (with no "e") is for males and "blonde" is for females.

Vencel elsewhere knows the difference between "affect" and "effect" but here he slips up.

It might be legitimate to have two tooltips for the stairs, but this doesn't usually happen.

In the dialogue with Saban, asking him about his bitten shield causes:

• the camera to refocus on the player character
• the speaker portrait to change to that of the player character
• the player character to read out Saban's lines

"you should've went" is certainly an unusual grammar error.

"might as well have came from" is certainly an unusual grammar error.

In the GMS compound basement level 3, just after being teleported from the ladder room into the Leader's presence and just before the Leader kills most of his own troops by lobbing a grenade at his own feet in a crowded canteen, one of the Raiders has nothing to say.

Pasquale's Psi Empathy feat training dialogue usually links "taking" the pill and "swallowing" it within the same response. However, at one point, you can "take" the pill without swallowing it, with just the instruction to swallow it. This makes it sound like the pill is now an item in the inventory - as if you can take the pill from him now and decide whether to swallow it any time in the future.

Since taking and swallowing are presented as conceptually distinct actions, it might be good to remove the dialogue entry where they are treated independently.

Some odd hybrid tense there from Pasquale.

Old Jonas is missing important words in some of his dialogue that obscures meaning.

Olivia's dialogue also contains a run-on sentence that needs to be broken up into actual sentences, just like in "OldJonas2.jpg"

Did Newton mean to say, "umm"?

I know Nicolas is portrayed as a drunk, but if this dialogue is intentionally incomprehensible, maybe it should be a bit more apparent that it's deliberate by introducing a few *hic* sounds or something.

Double spaces aren't a grammar or spelling error, but they're still part of the dialogue string table.

Kareem's isn't a grammar or spelling error, but it does seem strange that what colour this specific person is makes any difference or is at all relevant. It has never been significant for any of the other NPCs I've encountered. Very strange.

Although "that tactical vest might be the most appropriate", it might not. It doesn't really make sense to follow it with "but" anything.

The confusion between "its" (the possessive pronoun) and "it's" (the contraction of "it is" or "it has") is pretty common. The thing to remember is that other possessive pronouns (yours, hers, ours, theirs) have no apostrophe of possession, just like "its".

A weapon can also be unloaded, which is done by ... to unload it.

One of these references to unloading is redundant.

I like it that you can ask Harold to explain the battery workings again - just in case you didn't get enough the first time! (There's still a typo on that screenshot though.)

"a new nuclei" is like saying "this criteria" or "this media".
