PraetorianWolfie: In a related note, ScummVM 2.6.0 and greater now include a checkbox (available in the ScummVM launcher from "Game Options..." for the Blade Runner entry/entries, which is called "Show subtitles during text crawl". This checkbox controls whether subtitles will be displayed during those intro videos where the text is also shown on-screen as part of the video itself -- this is mainly the text crawl that describes the backstory, and introduces Replicants, Blade Runners and the Retirement concept, but also includes the Westwood logo video and the Blade Runner logo one.
I had noticed it (I didn't know it was something new ^_^), and it seems to work fine during the intro. A few more issues:
Coming out of the animal shop, the protagonist says: "Non quadrava. La mancanza di un qualsiasi furto. L'uccisione di animali." in the subtitles "Non quadrava. La mancanza di qualsiasi furto. La mancanza di animali." (misses "un" and changes "L'uccisione" with "La mancanza")
In the same dialogue, later: "...un bel po' di soldi" becomes "...un bel di soldi" in the subtitles (misses " po' ").
in the lab, when talking about the shells found at the animal shop, Dino will say at some point: "...Questi bambini sono..." in the subtitles they missed a space "...Questi bambinisono..."
When talking in the lab about the animals, there seems to be a voiced line missing (don't know if it's a bug, but it does have subtitles): when describing the injuries, Dino has a long line, and the part that starts with "Tagli da coltello irregolari..." is missing the audio, so the scene moves on without some details (even when listening in the kia, the line ends at the same point, but shows the full subtitles).
