H&K MP5

"It's an old world 9mm sub-machine gun. It's reliable and precise even during prolong bursts."

Bolded 'prolong' should be 'prolonged'.

When talking to Pasquale, post-Armadillo Drill finding, I selected the option, "What are your thoughts on the Faceless invasion?"

He responded with:

"I must say it's an exiting turn of events. We know so little about the Faceless and how their society works. Rumor has it that they have highly developed psionic abilities and that they communicate through telepathy."

Bolded 'exiting' should be 'exciting'.

Found an obvious one:

Put a Crawler Stinger and an Ampule in Extract Humour and you get "Cave Ear Poison".

It has the correct item description and appearance, but it's just called Cave Ear Poison.

Sports Almanac

"It's an old magazine from the future. Too bad last sport result listed here took place couple hundred years ago."

This one actually raised a question or two from me:

What does the first sentence mean? An old magazine from the future?

Second sentence should probably be, "Too bad the last sport result listed here took place a couple hundred years ago."

This is also the first thing I've seen that set some kind of time frame, I had no idea that hundreds of years had necessarily passed.

Not a typo per se, but Optoelectric nuclear battery blueprint has "Cannot be recharged in combat" text/attribute for some reason ???

Oh, yeah, I noticed that as well- I was so unsure what to think of it I didn't even end up posting it.

Rail Crossing, Dude:
It's name was Shoe Devourer
-> Its name was Shoe Devourer

Weird quirk of the language, "its" doesn't have an apostrophe for the possessive form. "It's" is for "It is".

1) Katherine, a merchant at the Junkyard:

"Good luck finding it. That junk's old.

I've only ever saw one Armadillo and it was stripped down to the bone."

Second line should be:

"I've only ever seen one Armadillo and it was stripped down to the bone."

-

2) Same person (Katherine), same conversation:

"Well you can try the bigger junk merchants at the docks and the Depot B. If that fails, there might be one somewhere in Depot A, but I'm pretty sure it's not worth risking your neck."

Comma should be added after the first word:

"Well, you can try the bigger junk merchants at the docks and the Depot B. If that fails, there might be one somewhere in Depot A, but I'm pretty sure it's not worth risking your neck."

Junkyard, Grover:

"Treasa... everyone thinks she's poor, but that's not true... She's got this energy core thing with her, she showed me once... it's got to be worth at least couple hundred charons..."

Correction:

"Treasa... everyone thinks she's poor, but that's not true... She's got this energy core thing with her, she showed me once... it's got to be worth at least a couple hundred charons..."

Camp Hathor, Edgar:

"If you run into him by any chance, you better run for your life, because he has no mercy and I think no one man or woman can kill him alone. He's the master of covering his tracks, he's strong, poisons his weapons, sets hard to spot traps... you name it! He's killed many of us, and I don't think he'll stop."

Okay, I have to say this is a bit of a hard one- so I'm only going to make the correction I'm pretty confident of. I'm unsure of the commas but I'm not exactly sure what would be correct in this instance. I think hard to spot might require hyphens connecting the words, "hard-to-spot" but once again I'm not certain.

"If you run into him by any chance, you better run for your life, because he has no mercy and I think no one man or woman can kill him alone. He's a master of covering his tracks, he's strong, poisons his weapons, sets hard to spot traps... you name it! He's killed many of us, and I don't think he'll stop."

Old Jonas:
"been crawling through them tunnels"
"been crawling through the tunnels" ?


I think in the case of Old Jonas this could be slang. Also, I think the correction would look better, if it is corrected, as:

"been crawling through these tunnels"

It should be:
