So was considering making a mod that added back the descriptive text that Arena had when entering many buildings such as Inns, Shops, Temples, etc. However, I had not realized just how much the developers went crazy with the amount of dialogue, it's pretty nuts, here is a picture that Jehuty provided.
So, at first I was only planning on adding a lot more "concise" descriptive text, but I figured why waste the pretty quality descriptions that the Arena devs made and "borrow" some of these where appropriate.
With that, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a Text-dump for Arena dialogue somewhere that could point me to it, if you have the time of course, it would be very helpful, thanks.
Is There a Text-dump for the Arena Descriptive Text?

Re: Is There a Text-dump for the Arena Descriptive Text?
One of my favourite part of Arena was the descriptive text. It's pretty immersive and I like that it changes depending on the time of day and season.
I've been working on porting this feature in Oblivion and Morrowind. I used the very helpful Wiki that French translators have created to translate Arena in French. They kept the original English texts. Here goes :
Palaces : http://www.projet-french-arena.org/wiki ... late0000-1
Mages Guild : http://www.projet-french-arena.org/wiki ... late0001-1
Taverns : http://www.projet-french-arena.org/wiki ... late0002-1
Temples : http://www.projet-french-arena.org/wiki ... late0003-1
Shops : http://www.projet-french-arena.org/wiki ... late0004-1
If you go here : http://www.projet-french-arena.org/wiki ... Traduction , you'll see the root of all of Arena's texts. Menus, dialogues, dungeon texts, etc. They all have the original English stored. If you're not familiar in French to navigate the wiki, a good ol' Google Translate will do the job.
