Strikes me that you might not be organising your strings in the best fashion, then. I've never found myself needing a text file for something that I couldn't do using existing engine stuff. :/

I find it easier to load from text files than loading from a database of strings ... I'm not talking about how you store the strings in a player.

However, I usually use text files for that so that I can have multiple characters.

But, it's much easier for incompetent staff to edit some text files than strings in a database NPC without messing **** up.
