FAQ
What is this project?
DA Transcripts is my endeavor to document and format all of the dialogue (companion comments, location banter, various remarks, and more!) in the Dragon Age games.
I started this project with Dragon Age: Inquisition on Tumblr in 2019.
Who are you anyway?
I’m Plisuu in disguise! I am a hobbiest, artist, and writer.
You can find me on all social media under the same name, though I’m only really active on tumblr these days.
How do you know you’re using accurate dialogue? Where are you finding the deleted lines?
I type the transcripts by hand side-by-side with the game files, a plot flag editor, numerous youtube playthroughs, and my own game open. I also keep a number of handwritten notes on plot flag strings. I have played DA:I over 30 times, and crowd-source from the communities I’m in.
The DA2 files are difficult to parse through, and the lack of mod tools only compounds the problem. I will do my absolute best to make sure the dialogue I share is as accurate and thorough as possible.
DA:TV’s dialogue is a little more organized than DA2, but much less organized than DA:I, so unlike the DA:I project, I cannot guarantee 100% accuracy due to the difference in file structure. Luckily, due to the nature of this game, conversations are fairly straightforward.
I do occasionally miss things or can’t figure out exactly how a piece of dialogue fits, but I always note this within the transcripts.
Can you share the audio files?
Unfortunately, this isn’t something I’m willing to take on right now. Each line must be extracted one at a time and renamed as you go, or every line within a dialogue file will try to export with the same name (some files have hundreds of lines). They are not logically named and it is a lot of trial and error.
You typo’d/did a thing wrong/you’re missing race/class specific dialogue! Where can I contact you?
For now, you can contact me via ask at any of the transcript blogs on tumblr.
