Dear Esther Wiki

Jakobson's Name[]

The way Jacobson's name is spelled throughout the script is incorrect - the game (according to my English version) spells it "Jakobson," with a 'k' instead of a 'c'. Is this true for other versions as well, or is it just mine? I didn't want to go through all the trouble of changing it only to find out in most games it's spelled Jacobson.

Well the problem is that because of big debate combined with all those unoptimized scripts among the internet, it's rather difficult to decide if it's either with a 'k' or 'c' because both are correct depending from where some people hail from... I would say to take the in-game name, but since most scripts have it with a 'c' I'll keep it this way. Changing it through the entire script is no problem but I do not feel the need/urge/reason to do it... Though indeed, in my version of Dear Esther it's spelled 'Jakobson' --JorisCeoen 09:11, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Audio files[]

Do you think that it will be possible to upload the audio files for all of these monlauges? The voice acting is obviously this games strong point and I wonder if all of the possible audio logs could be uploaded or fond somewhere.

Well that might be a good idea! I'll look into it. --JorisCeoen 08:46, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

I thought about doing this myself at some point, if needed I could upload them to youtube and then link them through a "Audio player" plugin. I've seen them on other wikis, if there is an actual way to upload the files than that will work too.

Edit: I currently have the sound files on my PC from the mod, but in a couple of weeks I'll have the 2012 editions of the audio.The Hanged Man - Spirit of a grave robber (talk) 11:14, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

  • I had an idea on how this could be achieved, if I were to put a reference hyperlink, next to quotes or maybe turn the quotes themselves into hyperlinks. I could link them o a youtube account designed to just upload these audio logs called "DearEstherWiki" or something.

Easter Egg?[]

1) There's a hidden message in D.E.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=237413656

"In Loving Memory of Jacqueline and Steven".

You can see it if you use noclip.

I think this deserves mention on the wiki, or even its own page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

We are currently adding seperate articles for a lot of items in the game, including biblical references, easter eggs, drawings, meanings etc... even repeated symbolism without any reasoning behind it (such as bottomless paperboats). I will see to add this one as well. --Do you have any questions? Click here to go to my profile page! 16:12, December 21, 2015 (UTC)
