Feedback:User/Noctarch/Out-source string base

Since there's much content which is rarely read, old or put into the game too hastily (see Nicholas's problems), it could be useful to change the strings by one's own will. Not only could this be fun for modders, which prefer other boss names, different weapons names and so on but severely help the translators.

This could be done — if it is feasible — by putting all strings (of course, only those which are meant to be read) in a second library (file) next to the gw.dat so they can be edited. Of course, there are changes to be done to the update process in order to allow having different strings than the regular game has. If this library file or its content is editable by Notepad or a comparable program that shall be enough.

Another, surely much harder to implement option, would be adding a right-click opened option to re-name any string that's on the screen.
