I recently was replaying the original Planescape: Torment.
As I got out of the Mortuary, I've started talking to random people in the streets, as usual. And what suddenly stroke me was that the [seemingly] absolutely regular Hive Dweller who stands in front of the Gathering Dust bar (there's also a Duster woman right in front of him, they don't seem to move, seemingly talking to each other) replied to me with another phrase, not one of the usual ones. I was a bit off guard and kind of screwed the conversation, though the outcome was positive (see below).
Anyway, I wanted to approach him again and study what he said more closely, possibly examining the other options, so I've loaded the save I made a minute earlier before talking to him for the first time. And what do you think? The guy did not give me the same conversation! The dialogue screen just says "This person has nothing more to say to you" (or something like that), even though I've never talked to him before! (Well, not in this load anyway). That was kind of depressing.
So I was so far unable to recreate this conversation again (not that I tried too hard, but...). And I haven't found anything mentioning this on the internet so far. So maybe someone here have heard about this or have seen this dialogue? Is that some sort of an easter egg?
If you're interested in the point of the conversation, the guy seems to mistake Nameless One for someone else (the name is mentioned, but I did not remember it), I've answered something like "Perhaps". And so he gave me some scroll that he said he was holding for me. Unfortunately, I never even looked at what kind of a scroll it was before loading...
So I would like to hear if anyone was able to recreate this situation or perhaps encountered this before. I'm willing to continue my playthrough, - I've already gotten far enough that I won't start again just for this. Well, not unless I'd hear this scroll was really valuable or otherwise interesting. Thanks.
