Adding In-Game Content

NPC

NPC Dialog

When including dialog from an NPC, do so as a summary and/or paraphrasing. DO NOT copy/paste the entire conversation with an NPC. This is primarily for spoiler reasons, and secondly due to how bad it looks as it reads like a transcript and never looks good on a page intended to be encyclopedic.
Instead, try to summarize what the NPC is saying into something shorter, paraphrasing as needed so you're not doing a lot of direct quotes. Occasional quotes are fine, where it may be really important, but most dialog should be easily compressed into something more easily read.

Screen Shots

  • Tips for taking clean, UI-free screen shots:
    • To hide the most basic UI elements (buttons, compass, agg/def slider) press: shift + |
    • To hide all chat windows, open your friends list (ctrl+7) and expand the Chat Windows section. Click each chat window name to hide them. Clicking them again will make the window (or tab) reappear where it was.
