    Dialog plothole fix
    Place this file in the datadlg directory inside your Arcanum directory to fix a plot hole in the game. By Leto Atreides II

    My problem is, I can find the data folder, but not dlg. Anyone else had this happen?

    I'm pretty sure you have to create both directories. So you end up with something like:

    'C:GamesArcanumdatadlg'

    Still don't quite get it...

    how will the game recognize to go to the folder I create? The scripting does not require any unzipping or change to arcanum.exe.

    Is this plot hole plug even worth it? Will I notice if I don't do this?

    Arcanum will recognise the folder you create, anything in that 'data' folder is read over the top of everything else.

    As to os it worh it? I don't know, never installed the fix myself.
