Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: There's a rather burly woman with short blonde hair and a pink dress in the very last shot of the episode. She is an extra that keeps popping around in the ending scene at different times (before Dwayne's hot tin roof line, and during Catherine's magical angry bird memory). (00:51:35)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Having (more) beers with Captain Jack at the end of the episode, Dwayne tells him "You've been like a cat on a hot tin roof"; a woman wearing a blue dress walks past them. Seconds later in the convo, in a close-up Paul Barber asks "Which you?" and the same woman is passing again, and with her two guys in green and purple from a previous shot. (00:49:25)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Once Kris Marshall wins his staredown with the whiteboard, he exclaims; "It's you and it works!" and turns towards Fidel and Camille. Fidel in the background is holding the documents in a single pile, which become one for each hand as it cuts to a closer view. (00:38:30)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Humphrey cracked the case; looking at the whiteboard, he says that the "Who" is kinda obvious. The names on the board are written differently than the first time. (00:16:00 - 00:38:00)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Humphrey finally realises the obvious clue and begins doing his handwaving hocus-pocus, he asks Fidel to check the egg theft; his arm is raised, lower, raised depending on the angle. He then turns towards the whiteboard and he's pointing the left hand, or right hand, again with a sudden change dependant on the camera view. (00:37:25)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Humphrey recalls 'the happiest two weeks' of his life and suddenly stops at the mention of the keyword "eggs." Seen from behind, he leaves the desk (Camille asks "Sir?") but he's still standing there in the next shot, and moves away only after a second. (00:37:20)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Dwayne just barely survived his attempt to outdrink Captain Jack Parrot. Camille asks him "Do you actually remember anything?" He answers, and there's a cut to Kris Marshall shifting position as he listens intently - but he's precisely in the same position and stance the moment the camera cuts back to the previous angle. Same a few lines later when Camille asks "Is that it?"; she hunches over, but she is standing next to Dwayne without a single change once the quick cut is over. (00:35:25)

Other mistake: The game presents, together with bountiful lore and flavour text, very complete profiles for the various characters. There's even a box to click to get even more complete numerical stats about their properties. Just one small insignificant oversight; the character sheets in the menu used to organize the fighters don't show at all the unique Passive Ability each character has and that is their main, hard-coded difference! Which is vital for the gameplay (for instance, the main character autocasts a buff to a random ally every 3 actions, the fire mage makes the target more susceptible to fire each time they hit, etc). So to know the key dynamic of your character (some are based on unique properties of it, such as Diego's "Overconfidence") you just have to field them in battle and find out there from the succinct combat tab what their passive skill is.

Audio problem: During the first meeting with the elf prospector, in the dub the line "It's the one my dad gave me. And sure, we can go by Vriska the Cold-Footed" the voice actress calls her own character "Viskra" instead.

Sammo

Plot hole: The cutscene with the first appearance of Grenn takes place at the palace and involves Diego as well; it is not correctly flagged though, and therefore it can start when Diego is included in the player's party, somewhere else entirely, not at all in Ascalia.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The family tree Kay and Griffin retrieve from the armory expedition is already visible in the hall of before the mission.

Sammo

Other mistake: With the DLC "The Unending Grimoire", after the good guys captured the titular item, they try to figure out how it works. Aliss' line "it's pocket of malliable time and space" lacks an article ("a pocket").

Sammo

Other mistake: One of the quests in the Krakkan Peaks, "The Light of the Ages" contains a typo; when you remove the mats, the narrator speaks of "an esotetic-looking symbol", meaning esoteric.

Sammo

Other mistake: In Miri's mission "Cold Storage", the 5th line of one of the first panels says "unwanted excresence", missing a C in excresCence.

Sammo

Bug: During the town and camp scenes, the pathfinding has multiple problems and often clicking directly on the character you want to speak to and that is properly highlighted with the halo popping around them only makes you walk behind them or not move at all, despite the lack of any obstacle.

Sammo

Other mistake: During the negotiation with the dragon in Act 4, there's this line; "Imagine my surprise when Tag's family came-a-knockin', saying we should step aside." The line is spoken according to the text box by Tag himself, while it should be his rival Bink to speak.

The Two Popes (2019)

Factual error: The narration of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio's controversial tenure during the Peronist regime concludes with Pope Benedict saying "You were cast out of office[...], sent abroad." The date shown is "1983." Correct, but then it goes on, saying "You were sent to the mountains" and shows Bergoglio in Cordoba, Argentina, which happened much later, circa 1990 - and a 1990 book is the first one he's shown reading, "La nueva evangelización; perspectiva de los oprimidos". And yet, at the end of the prolonged scene, featuring also a 1983 book in "Plueberina", the calendar shows the time passing, starting from 1983. We're already in 1990. (01:24:00 - 01:27:50)

Bug: On particular occasions (such as stepping on your own landmine at the end of a turn), a character can become permanently stunned. Their skills can be used, if you click past the 'Stunned' sign that partially covers the UI, but they will stay unable to move.

Sammo

Bug: A real bug about bugs; the drone enemies (the small critters that explode upon death) can randomly occupy the same tile as another character, and still attack from there without being hit - the original occupant of the tile absorbs the damage.
