NDLC_pc_nick_lore_1 Aspic? That explains the rumble-y tummy.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_2 Doesn't sound like your typical Nickymaniac.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_3 I wish they'd give the new stuff a decent chance. It's very progressive!

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_4 Everyone's a critic. Especially the critics.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_5 God. Music lessons ruined him, didn't they.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_6 That accounts for the whiff of conjugal discord.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_7 All smiles, but he was grassing to the Bobbies behind my back!

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_8 The Bobbies don't want anyone to know what's really going on, do they!

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_9 Sounds like some of my, er, more devoted fans.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_10 Fuck me, he only wanted to help.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_11 What does that stuck-up bloke think hotel rooms are for?

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_12 Are you sure it wasn't a dream, Nicky?

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_13 Not ANOTHER divorce. Really need to stop having those.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_14 Those Appreciation Society meetings seem to get smaller every year. Didn't even have any of those… chocolate things.

NDLC_pc_nick_lore_15 That's terrifying! And it doesn't even rhyme!

NDLC_manager_WellM_mutter_1_JS I should just give out copies of his room key. See if there's anything left after the fans are done.

NDLC_manager_WellM_mutter_2_JS Maybe I'll ask room service to add an extra tranquilizer or two to his supper.

NDLC_manager_WellM_mutter_3_JS If that has_been trashes one more of my rooms I'll tell the Bobbies about all the "special deliveries."

NDLC_manager_WellM_mutter_4_JS I should just turn off the hot water to his room.

NDLC_manager_WellM_mutter_5_JS I wonder what his fans would think if someone told them his real age?

So the first chunk is obviously the most interesting. Nick was supposed to have more lines for reacting to notes he picked up, although most of them were cut. The only one that made the game was in response to picking up the critic's review. I've linked the notes I think each line pretains to, but there's room for interpretation on some of them.

I do think it's kind of curious that even with these lines, he doesn't have responses for every note in the DLC, but I think that's an improvement over Roger having one for all of his. I wish they would have put a few more of them in though.

Nick also had lines for taking damage, but I think they just ended up using his grunts and groans and didn't bother with captions. They also use parentheses rather than asterisks like they normally would.

The rest of these lines are, I believe, probably in use as they're mostly combat barks but the interesting thing about them is the attribution. Rather than just one copy of each line, they've put in two or three with different letters at the end. There was only one other place I could recall them doing this (at least in what I've dug up thus far), which gave me no help.

But then I had bolt of inspiration and realized what this might be...

The lines are actually attributed directly to the voice actor who will perform them.

The two female fans are played by AT and SL, Amelia Tyler and Samantha Lee. The papparazzi are Inel Tomlinson, Julian Casey, and Joe Sims (or Jay Simon, but I think Sims is more likely.) The aggro female fans are Katherine Kingsley and... Michael Shaffer, lol? No match for that one. SB the Worker... Stephen Boxer perhaps? He's not on the cast list for the DLC but a lot of those lines are quite... utilitarian and conceivably not specific to Nick; it's possible they recorded them for something else and are just salvaging those assets here.

What's strange is, normally, they wouldn't do this. Like, they might have separate references to the line for each actor (though I couldn't guess why), but even some very simple lines are shared across the three main acts of the game and are just referenced from different places. They didn't need sixteen copies of "How?" or "Why?", they just need the unique reference to it in the code. And it looks like they did that for the female aggro lines, but then decided to have separate subtitles for both actresses. Weird.

You know what though? You'd think this would help sort out the Haworth Labs attributions, but no! None of those initials match up to names in the cast list. lol

And lastly, Murray Davis' mutterings. These are all in use; he'll say them if you approach him at the reception desk.

It has long been thought that a theorist is considered great because his theories are true, but this is false. A theorist is considered great, not because his theories are true, but because they are interesting.
