Hey chooms!

I created a similar mod for The Witcher 3 called Grammar of the Path. I'm a real stickler for text to be accurate. Very few things break immersion for me worse than typos, poor spacing, or similar errors. Imagine my surprise (** sarcasm **) when I began playing Cyberpunk and found that it contains many of the same types of errors that I fixed in W3. During my 100% playthrough and subsequent achievement and endings cleanup, I noticed numerous typos, spacing issues, formatting issues, inaccurate text, and other textual issues throughout the game. I decided to tackle this project in the same manner that I previously tackled W3.

The objective of this mod is to present accurate text in the game's journal, quest, shards, database, text messages, e-mails, and dialogues (subtitles) to greatly enhance player immersion.

One thing to note about the objective: many of the game's text is intentionally poorly written. This is primarily in the form of the e-mails and text messages and is done intentionally to make the text feel more authentic. For the most part, I avoided editing the content and context of these messages, only fixing very egregious occurrences where it looked to me like it was unintentional. Therefore, in those instances, if I made any edits at all, it was to the spacing and not the content itself.

• Typos -- words that are spelled incorrectly (e.g. "form" instead of "from").
• Line Spacing -- hundreds of the game's journal entries, shard, and text messages do not properly space between paragraphs, resulting in a wall of text. This adds spacing to make them easier to read.
• Formatting -- the game is incredibly inconsistent in use of italics, spacing between words, quotes, etc. This seeks to make the text entries consistent for the same look and feel.
• Inaccuracies -- some of the entries in the journal are plain wrong and do not match what happens in the game. This subtly revises many of them to match events in the game.
• Missing Text -- some text is missing, particularly around incomplete character names in the database. This adds in the missing text (example: Rogue is simply Rogue in the dialogue; this displays her name as Rogue Amendiares).
  

This is my roadmap and plans for this mod:

• Version 1 consists almost entirely of the journal. The quest descriptions, database, shards, and text messages have all been included. (completed)
• Version 2 adds all of the e-mails found at random terminals throughout the game. (completed - special thanks to MerseyRockoff for finding all of the hidden shards throughout the game and helping to complete this version)
• Version 2.5 will add all of the journal, quest descriptions, database, shards, and text messages, and e-mails for the Phantom Liberty expansion. (coming soon)
• Version 3 will add all typos and inaccuracies in the game's dialogues (subtitles). Unfortunately, unlike The Witcher 3 where all of the game's text was concentrated within about 20 files, these are spread out across hundreds of files and will be difficult / tedious to find. (in progress)
  

Note that ArchiveXL by psiberx is required for this mod to work. Visit that mod's page for details and instructions on how to install it.





Given the nature of this mod, I am only able to present it in English. In fact, many of the typos would not occur in other languages. However, in my experience, most of the formatting and spacing issues do occur in other languages. I will not be providing translations; however, if other mod authors want to take that on, I give my consent. Just credit me as the original author since I found and fixed so many of these.





There are two ways to install this mod:

1) Extract the contents of the file to your \Mods folder, typically found at:
[your drive directory]\Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod

     -or-

2)You may also use a mod manager. This has been fully tested and works with Vortex.

To uninstall, simply delete the mod from your \Mods folder or disable in your mod manager.





This mod should be compatible with just about everything out there. However, although unlikely, it is possible that other mods edit these same lines of text. As such, I recommend giving this mod lower priority in your mod load order as you will almost always want those other edits to take priority over these to maintain compatibility with their companion mods. By default, the mod name starts with z to give it low priority.
