kevkiev Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This has always bugged me, but it's such an obvious disconnect I think I simply might not have caught something on my 2 playthroughs of the TG storyline. After Enthir translates Gallius's journal with the etching the PC makes of Calcemo's Falmer-language translations, I don't recall Enthir ever actually writing down the translation. He just reads the journal alongside the etching, tells the PC and Karliah what the journal says, and gives it back to the PC. So then the PC and Karliah go back to the TG, give Gallius's journal to Brynjolf, and somehow he's able to skim through it no problem. I read one internetz review that said you actually give Brynjolf a translated copy of the journal but, yeah, I don't recall that happening. The PC doesn't get a copy of the journal back from Enthir, but the original journal itself. Did Enthir write the translation into the margins when I wasn't looking or something? (Lightning-quick writing ability if so :tongue:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraquar Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Enthir is one shrewd elf, you turn your back for just a second and you'll miss something. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy1123 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 He is one of the OTHER Dragonborn that "may be" around but has not answered the summons (as the Greybeards said). He actually used the slow time dragon shout and wrote it while you were in the warp :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkiev Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 So I guess I wasn't missing anything except for... the awesome powers of that oh-so-shrewd elf! :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptopyr Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes, it's a mistake. There are actually two versions of the journal that exist (an encoded one and a translated one), but the quest doesn't properly switch them. It also leaves Gallus's journal in your inventory as a quest object even after the quest is complete...though I think the unofficial patch fixes this.
