    I like direct quotes. If it's obscure then so be it. I like the way that Tolkien strings words together; changing them to make sense out of context would lose that in a lot of cases.

    I´d also like to see more screens taken from drawings then from the movies, if possible.

    It's usually a bit of a rush to read them, never get to finish medium or long ones

    Thanks for the input guy's, will try to summon it up now but keep it coming if I get the general opinion wrong or you haven't put forth your opinion yet

    As it seems to me what we want is
    - quotes that aint to long [subjective of course, but anyway a guide line]
    - quotes straight taken from the books = unchanged
    - use the author-line to explain the quotes situation/persons/points, if possible*
    - if alteration is needed the changes should not be [marked] but "sneaked" in - if I "won't betray JRR texts" to cite Vifarc. I wont haha ^^


    * The author-line is ATM bult up as this: - Person, Chapter or - Person, Book (if other than LotR) or -Person, Book; Chapter (another version of if not LotR)
    If the author-line is to be used to make quotes more understandable, should the source info be shortened?
    Perhaps just book? Example: - Saruman the White, The Return of the King
    Or shortening of book names? Example: - Saruman the White, RotK
    What would you whish?


    EDIT: And what about my handling of semicolon (see OP)? I you have opinions your welcome to bring that forth

    i like your mod as it is...meaning with the [explanations] ...since it helps you understand who did what to whom ...

    regarding the length ,keep it up to 2 full lines max...i believe that longer than that it's just gonna be hard to read in the given time and kinna harsh to the eye..

    keep in mind that...usualy ,noone really cares about the quote

    in my opinion your mod is great because

    1) it has variety (700 quotes will never bore you)
    2) the lay-out is smooth (in terms of the loading screen's size and form...)
    3) if someone really cares to read the quote-meaning actualy read it and think/imagine like when reading a book - he is actually capable of doing it in the given time

    so ,as far as i see it...if you should invest more time in this ,just put more quotes or just make a "better" selection of them ,choosing more stuff regarding the main characters or other stuff
    (maybe cuting the second age ones that are not so relevant to the game's timeframe-ring war)

    but as i said ..it's really great as it is! if it ain't broken why fix it ?

    Indeed Noobas, a strong side with the [...] is that you enhance the flow of the situation, the reader who even if they read Tolkien over and over, cant remember all phrases and circumstances for a quote, thus all 'he', 'she', 'they' and so on will make the reader gain less from them, even if explanations are at the end...

    Lenght is a serious matter; longer than 2 lines are never ever a good option ^^

    Nope, but that is also often because you read them a zillion times, the diveristy makes them more interesting [human psychology: new things crave our interest]. Still, often people wont care to read at all, I know

    Thanks, appriciate yout point of view on the work
    Agree, as I am to make the mod a 'make over' I will take a carefull look upon which quotes thar are in atm and if to replace them/update them.

    Want to say thank you to all who participated and shared their opinion once more - thus I have been able to make the now uploaded v2.0 as I hope all will find improves the short moments of load screen reading material


    @ Khales: Not an unpleasant idea. As I wont have time to begin such an endeavour this summer I could always encourage you to drop it at more places and perhaps someone will like the idea and make something out of it

    Just a note on a quote i just saw; "if by life or death i can save you etc."(that quote), the attribute is "Strider the Ranger, Strider". I think it would read better as Aragorn the Ranger, Strider. The first is accurate but the repetition just doesn't sit right with me
    Were there but a tree in this godforsaken place i would have hanged myself.

    True, true, remember it as a "will take a look on it later" hehe, missed it apparently. Will alter it with your suggestion for next version; if you want to get it changed right now just open quotes.txt > look up {Author_57} and change the name

    Both files are needed to get to full joy of the update; without the new descr_transcription_screen.txt the 50 new quotes will be lost so I encourage everybody who got the first one by now to the get both two files

    Great work my friend
