<![CDATA[What is going on with Madame Olivia/Olwen? (E3 2018 Trailer Analysis)]]>

Ahoy everyone!

As I was doing research for my project (dubbing in french the E3 2018 trailer), I have found some inconsistency ingame with the NPC's. Let me summarize it:

If you go to Plunder Outpost, you can meet with Madame Olivia, an NPC that look alike (and is very likely to be) the one from the E3 2018 Trailer. But this pose three problems.

Madame Olivia at Plunder Outpost (ingame)

  • She is not at the outpost from the trailer.
  • Her name and location is different from the wikis (Gamepedia and Wikia).
  • Her model differs from the trailer.

NB: The outpost from the trailer is indeed Ancient Spire. Here's a comparaison:

If you search for "Madame Olivia" on the wikis, you find that indeed, she is located at Plunder Outpost. But she is not the same ingame! She has the same dialog options, but the model displayed on the wikis is different.

Now, if you look up for the Order Of Souls vendor at Ancient Spire, you found that she is called "Madame Olwen". And, if you look at the model on the wikis, she is the one from Plunder Outpost (ingame)!

But this is not the end. Check closely to the trailer. Madame Olivia/Olwen in the trailer as some scars/tattoos. On the wikis for Madame Olwen, you see that this is the same model. But ingame, she doesn't have these details!

What is happening here? What are your toughts on this matter?

@apollolegacy01 I checked my videos from launch day (March 20), and the vendors are as they are in the wiki article and the trailer. So at some point they have changed them to how they are now in the game (and in the trailer the AS vendor is back to who/how she was). Here's screenshots of Olwen at AS on the first day:

@apollolegacy01 Hmm, weird that in-game Madame Olwen is missing scars and tattoos, but the Wiki's photo of her has them (matching the trailer). So we can assume the Wiki image is a screenshot, so she had them in-game at some point.... interesting...

@apollolegacy01 Wait! The faction people at different outposts are different people?!
