Wrong directions? (early spoilers for Caster Woods)

[Safebox]

I noticed a few characters give completely wrong directions to the objective, I don't know if this is intentional or a result of map changes after the dialogue was recorded.
Mother Jago was one that came to mind, she tells me to go to the Druid camp at the south-east, but it's clearly at the south-west corner of the map in both the fullscreen map and on the compass.

She told you direction from her perspective, not the map's.

It's still not right, from her perspective they'd still be south-west.
South-east from her perspective is a bunker and then the edge of the map.

I didn't notice that at all. Maybe because I already knew the location and didn't pay that muc attention to where she said it was

I noticed that dialogue mistake as well. Given the general "minimal effort" vibe of the game, it looks to me like a mishap that noone noticed or bothered to correct.

During late-game, there's also a moment (an audio log?) when voice actor mixed up "excavation" with "evacuation" and noone bothered to fix that either.

I noticed a few instances were the subtitles and voice lines didn't match but I didn't worry too much about it cause I assumed the subtitles were taken directly from the script rather than what voice actors may have ad-libbed or changed during recording.
Not ideal in either scenario, but not the most egregious oversights I've seen.

Given she's a batty old lady who decorates her hat with rat skulls I'm sure it was quite the effort for her to provide directions in only the one reality ...

You don't know where west is, do you?

You're not reading what I've said:

• She is at the north-eastern most point of the map.
  
• She is telling me to go south-east.
  
• There is nothing south-east of her except a shelter and then the edge of the map.
  
• The Druid base is at the south-western most point of the map.

It's not that I don't know where to go based on information I already possessed at that point, it's that additional information she provided was just completely incorrect.

I can't tell if that's spoilers or a joke, and I don't want to inquire further just in case 😅😬
