Difficulty to find or see some puzzle items

Issue #298 new
David Gámiz Jiménez created an issue

I have the same problem in the main three puzzles about collect keys or items:
1) Table Letters Puzzle in Greece. The letter A under the water. The issue here was that I played in a Spanish setting. The game not be totally translate and dubbing. Here Mikiko say something to help you. But in English and without any subtitle in English or Spanish… but I couldn't figure out. And I was lost in that part. Here, maybe the fix could be to add a subtitle for this line of dialog or make more transparent the water. Or even put the key out of water.
2) In Norway. The key under Dragon statue. Similar to the previous case. But in this case, not are any dialog. Here, possibly the fix could be to add a some generic dialog when you walk near of this area, reusing some from another place. Or make the ice more transparent. Or the crack of ice more evident.
3) Alcatraz prison. The bottle item. Here could be a fix, do the same that for the previous case. Add some generic line of dialog when walk near to it.

    The problem with adding generic dialog is we need to hire voice actors. But, I’ll talk with Knightmare maybe there’s something we can do to help make things a bit more obvious without changing the original flow.

    I don't mean make new dialog. If not use a dialog that already exists. Which part of their text, or all, that it can fit for this need. In other words, reuse an existing one or edit it a bit for this. With a something like this for example: "Here it seems that there is something" Now I do not remember any phrase of Mikiko or Superfly where they say something similar. Perhaps @LukasThyWalls knows it, since he has reviewed all the texts.

    Like i said in #203, there is a lot of text missing, not only in spanish, also in the other languages. As Frank said, there is nothing to do with the voices. With missing dialogs, is other thing, because, at least in the spanish translation, there is a lot of dialogs missing that i found and i try to translate from the english version, and MAYBE a lot of this clues are there, i’m positive that some are at least.
    The main issue from this topic i see earlier in the game was in the prison, when a prisoner says what to do to open the cells. In the original spanish release nothing happens, so you don’t know what to do. With Daikatana 1.3 and its spanish translation, that dialog appears in german (that’s another topic, because that’s added from the original 1.2 patch, based from the german 1.2 patch, which have german voices… everything here is a bit of mess). I found the german voices but i need to look up about find german dialogs too and translate them, that’s why is still work to do.

    Okay Lukas, I hope these problems will fixed with your awesome work. If not, maybe we can fix with a some “cheap” but practical way for doing the experience more comfortable for the new players that will be arriving.

    The dungeon key in episode 3 there is a spoken line, superfly says “nice statue" but its from one specific node im not at my pc right now so I forget where the xyz coordinates are. Alcatraz I have no solution I belive no sidekicks are near by so there's no real hint if I remember correctly.
