"Armor" is an irregular plural in English. It doesn't take an "s", so the plural of armor is just armor.

In the tutorial...

"Hey Vencel, what weapon should I use against bots?"

1. And what about armors?
Change to "what about armor"

"Well armors are good for ya..."
Change to "well armor is good for ya..."


Also, this is weird phrasing...

"Don't expect to be very mobile in a metal armor ... a leather armor".

No need for the article there.
Change to "Don't expect to be very mobile in metal armor ... leather armor"

What is

"Don't expect to be very mobile in metal armor ... leather armor"

supposed to mean anyway? The last half of this sentence doesnt make any sense to me...

Shouldnt it be more something like this:

"Don't expect to be very mobile in metal armor... unlike in leather armor" ?

That's not the whole sentence, of course. I'm just including the portions that should be changed.

When talking to Dockmaster Silas about side favors to get into the wormhole the second option reads "... How many favors I need you to do..." As the player is doing him said favors, it should be either "How many more favors do I need to do you?" Or "How many more favors do you need me to do for you?"

Captain Broderick: "It's not that just that I saw a guy" --> "It's not just that I saw a guy" (no double "that")

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=579495931



Hadrian Tanner:

"Existence of such an organization" --> "The existence of such an organization" (needs an article to sound natural)
"While it's manifestation" --> possessive is "its" not "it's"
"know that is could have been" --> "it" not "is"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=579637925


"This will, I predict, at one point... bring about interesting events" --> "at some point" is what a person would actually say when talking about the future

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=580206888


"It used to served us well" --> either "It served us well" or "It used to serve us well," not both

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=580337326


"But if you can't find it, I want the money coin back" --> "money" or "coin," not both

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=580337342



Mordre: "It must have costed a lot." --> "It must have cost a lot" is the proper past participle

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=580206901



Edgar: "...blocking and underground river" --> "an" not "and"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=581818603


"One day, he came before us and told us that someone who calls himself 'Rathound King' is invading our hunting grounds. At one point, Gideon has, according to his words, managed to even speak to this man, but it turned out he ain't nothing but a filthy savage, who had no interest in discussing anything with anyone"

This is just kind of a mess of conflicting verb tenses and weird phrasing. It's hard to understand and does not sound natural. Try this instead: "One day, he came before us and told us that someone [calling] himself 'Rathound King' [was] invading our hunting grounds. At one point, Gideon [said he had even managed] to speak to this man, but it turned out [the man/guy/"King"] [wasn't] nothing but a filthy savage, who had no interest in discussing anything with anyone."  ...Technically "wasn't nothing but a filthy savage" is not correct either but this preserves the slangy style of the original.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=581818620


"That marks the start of our conflict. From then on, he's been attacking..." --> "Since then, he's been attacking"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=581818632



Description of Burrower Carapace: "carapace is though" --> "tough"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=581818650



Captain Herve: "We tried to blitz it back before they're set up but that ended badly." --> "We tried to blitz [them] back before [they'd] set up"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582449569



Dude: There is a missing space between "...it's tough." and "The immense..."

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582449583



Doc: "...removing her blood-stained surgical gloves and throws them in a garbage can." ---> "and throwing them"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582449609

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582449626




Major Clifton: "Their sole purpose is to oppose Protectorate and the unification of stations, calling it oppression and other ridiculous terms, while in fact they themselves are nothing but a violent gang that supposedly fights for freedom, yet if all who disagree with their world view are dubbed as brainwashed and, if possible, are brutally killed."

This is a run-on sentence which is difficult to understand. Try this: "Their sole purpose is to oppose Protectorate and the unification of stations, calling it oppression and other ridiculous terms. [They supposedly] fight for freedom, [but] in fact [they are] nothing but a violent gang. All who disagree with their world view are dubbed as brainwashed and, if possible, are brutally killed."

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582547236



Ambassador Athanas: "They cling on to us like we're the bad guys..."

"Cling on to" doesn't make sense here. Try "They pretend we're the bad guys..."

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582547255



Halim: "...when my wife was ordering bracelet to be made." --> "was ordering [the] bracelet to be made."

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582547278

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582547292

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582547309



Harriete: "tell their wifes they love them" --> "tell their wives"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582547322



Jon the Beautiful: "'cause few sections of the tracks" --> 'cause [a] few sections"

"the left" --> "they left"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=584111091



Bryan: "'Why did I come to this barren station? The air is horribly polluted... and there's absolutely no fun to be had here?'" The second sentence is not a question so it should not end in a question mark.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=584111112



Foundry commoner: "There ain't much Arena fans here" --> "[many] Arena fans"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=584111123

Tiny drops of sweat also appeared on his face, slowly growing larger and larger." --> This is a tense change from all the other NPC descriptions.

Tiny drops of sweat also [appear] on his face"
