Dialog Options#
Unused dialog options for Max to discuss, some of these are duplicates from earlier iterations of the same conversation. Lines without punctuation are always unused and often from early points of development.
Used and unused topics dialog topics, with the following being of note:
- Juliet was present in Dana's room, at some point.
- Talking to Samuel about the/a butterfly.
- A couple extra options for the fisherman outside of the diner.
- Many, many more options for Chloe's power test.
- The iconic breakfast choice had additional options.
- The Vortex Club is mentioned by its old name, Club23.
- Many unfinished dialog options for David, Principal Wells, and Warren.
- Two additional faith-related replies and a cut "Who are my friends" segment for Kate's suicide scene.

Oddities#
Developer Reference Text#
In some files, "TextActors" can be found that display text in specific locations of a map, either to mark map exits or locations and objects of interest that haven't been fully implemented yet.
Jessie
A single string in E2_3A_Junkyard_GRC.puk exists, intended to show up as text in the map itself, referencing Rachel by her old name. This would have appeared above her grave.
