Dialogue improvements

It seems that with each chapter, the dialogue is improved. I'm pretty sure all the dialogue was recorded beforehand, so I'm a little curious as to why each chapters dialogue is so different from eachother. For one thing, they don't do that schtick where you pick a different line of dialogue from a long list only to reveal each one will yield the same line. I don't recall this being apparent in the 2nd chapter but the 3rd has had a different line for each choice of dialogue no matter how insignificant.

    It's not. That is, the dialogue for all the episodes isn't recorded at one time. In the Dominic Armato interview, he said he likes the episodic structure because he gets to fly in for a bit, record some lines, go home, and then does the same thing a month or so later. And the dialogue is written by different people I'm pretty sure. If I've got my facts straight, it's all overseen by the same two people, but each episode has individual designers that take care of the writing for the episode.

    My rough guess is that all or most of the dialogue for Chapter 2 was recorded by Chapter 1's release, but that's just a guess based on absolutely no data.

    In addition, the subtitles were perfectly transcribed this time around as far as I saw- nice work TT :)
