01
Keep one language layer stable
If you constantly switch text language, voice language, and fan summaries, character names and terms start to drift. Pick one setup for a whole quest line.
A common setup is original or preferred voice-over plus Polish subtitle overlay, so you hear the performance while reading in the language that costs you the least effort.
02
Use Kaption as the subtitle layer, not as a wiki
Kaption is best while the scene is happening. It keeps the current line readable, helps with dialogue choices, and lowers the effort of long conversations without spoiling what comes next.
Use wikis and summaries after the quest if you want extra lore. During the quest, the cleaner setup is simple: game audio you like, original text on screen, Kaption overlay in Polish, and no second monitor full of spoilers.
- Good for Archon Quests, Trailblaze Missions, events, and companion quests
- Helpful when a scene uses names, titles, and factions back to back
- Less distracting than alt-tabbing to a translator
- Does not replace post-quest lore reading if you want every detail
03
Write down only proper nouns
Do not make school notes for every line. Just keep a tiny list of faction names, places, and characters that repeat. This is enough to stop later scenes from feeling random.
- Faction or group names
- New locations
- Character titles and aliases
- Terms that are capitalized in dialogue
Questions
Should I read summaries before playing?
Only if you are returning after a long break. For fresh content, summaries can flatten jokes and twists before you see the scene.
Does this replace a wiki?
No. It helps you understand the scene while playing. Wikis are better after the quest, when you want to check details.
