http://larrylaffer.net/non-lsl-games/th ... df-version
Version 1.38 (updated)
It's abridged because the game is an RPG, and like most RPGs, the player encounters repetitive text (eating / sleeping / fighting / losing / winning / fast travel / "no one home" / "closed for the evening" / etc.) that doesn't contribute much to the overall story.
Instead, I chose to focus on the main story and the various side quests & story interactions the player can encounter, turning it into a novel format (novel here meaning "book length," not "interestingly new or unusual") rather than simply an extracted list of all text data.
========================================
The PDF contains the following sections:
• An introduction of how the document came to be, and the reasoning behind the choices made in its creation
• An enhanced game map of Antara (for those following along at home)
• Writing credits for the game, plus the quick "primer" on the world of Antara from the game manual
• The story of the game, divided into chapters (and includes my "fan-fiction enhancements" for the cutscenes)
• A list of the game items with their various descriptions
• The lyrics to the game's tavern songs
• Unused text found within the game files, along with my commentary
• Explanations for references found within the game, as well as fun facts
========================================
And because the document is so long, the table of content contains direct links to each of these sections.

========================================
Hope you enjoy. Whew!!! -- After 11 years, it's been quite the project.
