Notes and references[edit section | visual editor]

  1. ↑ It is possible to let Lae'zel make Zorru bow or kneel once to get approval, and then step in after.
  2. ↑ The line itself may be general, or unique for Bards, Barbarians, Rogues, Halflings and for the Dark Urge. Using it inevitably starts a fight against Dolor and his doppelgangers.
  3. ↑ The dialogue file with real Lens does not have the "WYR_OrinsImpersonation_CompletedLensInterview" tag (Source files: WYR_OrinsImpersonation_OrinJournalist, WYR_OrinsImpersonation_Journalist.)
