Fake King Emeric Dialogue

During Vaermina's Gambit the player has a conversation with the Night Terror wearing King Emeric's shape. The voice sounds like Emeric but very stilted/robotic. Should it be added to King Emeric's or the Night Terror/Galthis' page? — Unsigned comment by Talyyn (talk • contribs) at 03:50 on 6 July 2018‎ (UTC)

As the NPC is called High King Emeric (and uses his model), it should be added to Emeric’s page; as far as the game is concerned, the NPC High King Emeric says those things—not the NPC Galthis—which is what gamespace articles should consider first and foremost. The alternative would be to create a new page for the High King Emeric controlled by Galthis, which would be both unnecessary and inconsistent, as we consider the Emeric actor that appears in the Circus of Ceerful Slaughter quest to be the same as the ”real” Emeric (that is also true for other alternate versions of NPCs). —Aran Anumarile Autaracu Alatasel (talk) 19:24, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

A very similar case to this is the Sotha Sil and the Shadow of Sotha Sil. Under the quest "The Strangeness of Seht", the Shadow of Sotha Sil impersonates the real Sotha Sil, taking on his exact appearance and is credited in subtitles as being "Sotha Sil". However, we list all the dialogue said by the impersonated Sil on the Shadow's page and not the real person's page. Really, there's no policy for "dual-role" scenarios like this. I believe that the dialogue should be hosted on the Galthis page as well as Emeric's page, but put a note before the dialogue on both pages noting that Galthis is impersonating Emeric. As for the "Circus of Cheerful Slaughter" copies, I think they should have their own pages, since they have their own combat stats and dialogue. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:59, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
