I myself have come across truly cringe-worthy errors of spelling, grammar, and punctuation in the game. I wasn't looking for them; I just couldn't help but notice them. What they need to fix them, however, is an actual proofreader-- and that should be someone who won't misspell "Praetorian" right out of the gate.

For what it's worth, the misspelling was me. I wrote that post rather late at night. My bigger concern was the Penelope/Tilman error.

Yeah, good luck with that. The game still has typos/spelling errors outstanding after 8 years.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
I'm aware, but I had some hope that continuity errors related to this most recent lore update might get more attention. Such as--
After Maria Jenkins' "Defeat Malaise" mission, she makes a statement about being grateful Primal Malaise didn't turn out as bad as Praetorian Malaise which is... odd... given his involvement with Sister Psyche and Statesman's deaths.

Another good one from the ITF mission "Stop Romulus" when you get the mission entry text:
"They plan to use Statesman and Lord Recluse to power their giant colossi."
Methinks this plan shall not go well.

That particular group of the Council is a bunch of time-travelers, genius. Who's to say they're going to kidnap modern day Cole and Richter as opposed to those who've been freshly powered-up and still not fully aware of their abilities?|

While both of your statements are technically true, they're not the first thought that comes to mind. If I have to sit back and try to justify to myself why the text would be that way despite the fact that my first reaction was that it was odd, something most likely is not coming across as intended. I did think of the whole "well they're time travellers" after the initial "whoops, looks like they missed this one". It's just the problem is that it looks like an error.
As for the second one, yes Praetorian Malaise could be argued to be the worse of the two (despite that Mayhem is aggravating his insanity whereas Primal it all completely on his own mileage of crazy), but seeing as Maria Jenkins was rather close to Statesman, I don't know that she would think so or at the very least, be referring to him so casually.

But to be serious, I'm just logging some things that look like errors related to the lore update. Misspellings and grammatical errors happen, I get that. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't bring them to attention for correction, especially when they occur within actual game text. Maybe not so much on random forum posts.

And it should be a hyphenated 'text-errors' if you're going to join two nouns, or, use the adjective-noun form: 'textual errors.'

Killing two people as part of their plainly stated plan to eliminate all superpowered people and set themselves up as godlike ruler of the Earth is admittedly less than being a willy-nilly genocidal maniac. How many genocides did he pull off before being stopped? Is it more than the number superpowered being purges of the Primal version? Which in itself would be at least one genocide of sorts.

I looked back a few pages and couldn't find anything in this vein and thought it would be nice if we could note any textual issues we find here, either misspellings, grammatical issues or fact errors related to the changes made after the deaths of Statesman and Sister Psyche. For example:
"Defeat Mother Mayhem" from Maria Jenkins refers to Praetor Tilman as the Praetorian version of Penelope Yin, as opposed to Sister Psyche.
I imagine there are a couple instances of these sort especially to be found and it'd be nice to have them all in once place.
