Lemernis, no need to apologize. TDD (The Darkest Day) has nothing to do with ToB (Throne of Bhaal). (If I'm sayign something that you already know, I apologize in advance.) TDD is an unofficial MOD. As I said above, I realize the circumstances under which is was produced, but if I were doing TDD under the same circumstances, my personal, professional pride would not allow me to release what otherwise appears to be a decent product with such silly little and simple errors.
Do we see many spelling errors in SoA or ToB? None that I noticed. That level of quality and attention to detail is one of the things that makes BG & IWD products commercially successful and well-loved.
Like you suggested, the producers should have had someone proof reading their text. Alternatively, they could have written their text in MS Word (to use its auto-spellchecking functionality) and then cut-and-paste the verified text into the proper location.
Another thing that should have been or, at least, should be now is that the TDD producers have been working hard to get TDD included on various game magazine demo disks. This is a great idea for distributing TDD to a wider audience. However, if you're going for a wider release, you should place even more emphasis on Quality Assurance. I'd be incredibly embarrassed to have such shoddy spelling show up on demo disks for the whole wide world of BG2 players to see.
