Well there's a certain classic RPG that's full of characters with names that use that formula, including one companion, but I feel bad about repeating myself

and it was never not retarded

 

[Abu Antar]

I think the names fit the time period in a way, but maybe I am also retarded.

 

[Excidium II]

I don't see the problem. That's what happens when your name is also in your language. Good thing I don't need to introduce myself as "lover-of-horses" though

 

[Lacrymas]

I'm not opposed to that naming scheme, it provides instant characterization and, if done well, it can be a concept-as-character type of deal. Creeping-Death and Kills-in-Shadows are a 14-year-old's fan-fiction tier examples though.

 

[Excidium II]

What would you name them?

 

[yes plz]

Naming them Susan and Sally would be less retarded.

Wouldn't be completely out of character for Obsidian to create a fictional language based on a real one, similar to Vailian and Glanfathan. Instead they took the John Wayne Native American route for a tribes person. Good thing they held off on releasing her till after Columbus Day, or else Tumblr and Twitter may have create another waste disposal unit arson.

Depending on how late you get her though, she may have limited usefulness because of little utility outside of "kill shit." If I only have 4 character slots available, pure anything isn't going to be there for long as anything but a placeholder.

 

[Kev Inkline]

She does have boobs though. Granted they're not really visible on the icon here, it was more obvious in the "Creatures of Terratus" update.

Wonder if this KiS character is inspired by this documentary:

"kill shit" is all everyone can do this in this game. It's in the vein of PoE.

Neither Obsidian nor Tyranny are high enough on anyone's radar to create that kind of reaction. There was no reaction to the fact that Eb walked around with her belly exposed because of "protective tattoos".

"Kill shit" is basically every character's job description, except for Lantry's.

 

[Excidium II]

Lantry heals people who kill shit, and pops a kill shit cooldown now and then.

 

[Rev]

Kills-in-Shadow does sound lame, but if it was a properly written character I wouldn't give a shit about its name. The problem is that its writing seem on par with the name, so far.
Creeping-Death is fine as a tribute to Metallica and one of their best albums, though.

 

[Hyperion]

Wonder if this KiS character is inspired by this documentary:

...The only name there I recognize is Rocco Sifreddi. I'm not gay, I swear.

 

[Kev Inkline]

...The only name there I recognize is Rocco Sifreddi. I'm not gay, I swear.

Nature documentaries often go about without getting the credits they deserve.

 

[santino27]

...The only name there I recognize is Rocco Sifreddi. I'm not gay, I swear.

Racquel Darrian was a pretty big name in her time. So I hear. From a friend. Or something.

 

[J_C]

Kills-In-Shadow and Creeping Deat are names of beastmen, who are not too intelligent and are living in packs. I think it is not far fetched to use these names for them.

Indians also used names in a similar fashion, so you are a racist, if you think this is dumb.

 

[Neanderthal]

What would you name them?

Tries-Too-Hard.

A brief interview: http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2016/10/11/tyranny-and-making-a-better-villain-game/230052/

Brian closed by saying that Tyranny was still due out in 2016, published once again with the help of Paradox Interactive, and that they’ll announce a release date once they get closer to it.

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Going for christmas release, maybe?

 

[vortex]

Going for christmas release, maybe?

Could be. Usually, studio takes days off for Christmas. So, maybe even couple of weeks before Christmas because you have to deal the launch related stuff.

 

[Roguey]

It's going to be particularly buggy if they rush it out before the holidays, best to make Paradox feel some financial pain and wait a few months into 2017.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I don't see the problem. That's what happens when your name is also in your language. Good thing I don't need to introduce myself as "lover-of-horses" though

Philip K. Dick once wrote a novel with a protagonist named Horselover Fat.
