Sorry I think my brain is just dying and I'm failing to both interpret and convey my words very well, lol.
If you're referring to FourthWall audio files, then I am assuming those audio files had always existed since launch day, just that I don't know for sure since I haven't looked at the audio. I just didn't know if in your reply you had found a difference in audio files from launch day to Patch 2 regarding the FourthWall scene as I haven't digged through it myself (there's like 180,000+ .wem files that I'd rather programmatically process rather than listen to them manually, lol). Again, FourthWall audio could have definitely existed since launch day, just that I don't know for sure.
If your original reply to me (and this one) was actually about the "hopelessness" dialog like what Feris is talking about, sorry, I just completely misinterpret you. See above post.
If I'm still misinterpreting you... send some of your wishes to my poor brain as apparently it's ceasing to function (but send most of them to Larian and Karlach engine fix).
From what I understand, you found the fourth wall scene voice lines in the 1.0 files. But when I looked around in the Patch 1.2 pak file today, I found those voice lines there as well. So now I'm under the impression that they're present in both the launch game and Patch 2 for some inexplicable reason. It just has me wondering why they would add those lines again in Patch 2, if they were already present at launch.
Make sure to take a break! Mama K wouldn't want you to burn yourself out.
