    @reedmilfam - ??? Not sure why you thought I was serious. I mean, yes, I'm guilty of being serious, what... A few times? Out of >1,000 posts. Methinks thou dost take me too seriously in this case. *shrugs*

    @Meyahi Planescape: Torment's script contains around 800,000 words.

    The German translation of BGEE puts additional 60% on top.

    As for BG2EE I predict around 4 million words in total. (The English translation will contain considerably less, as no distinction between male/female strings is being made)

    @Quartz - Hardest thing to read in email/forum is mood/intent. Nothing that couldn't be solved over a cold beer.

    @kangaxx Did you skip a zero there, or was the 'wordiest game ever' less wordy than our beloved baguette?

    Imagine what BG2 and PS:T word counts must look like.
