You'd have to ask the developers of the original Neverwinter Nights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwinter_Nights_(MMORPG)

I like to think it has something to do with them assuming that their neckbearded players would be playing the game all night.

And play they did. :negative:

Anyway, no game title ever was as pretentiously retarded as Challenge of the Five Realms: Spellbound in the World of Nhagardia. Just spell it aloud.

- Hey cute boy, I like vidyagames too! XDXD What's ur favorite?
- Challenge of the Five Realms: Spellbound in the World of Nhagardia
- ...you'll never get laid, bye.

My vote goes to Bravely Default: Flying Fairy but only if it's a non-jRPG (which I'm sure it isn't). Dragons of the Rip sounds kind of cool and conjures up images of dragons puffing out great balls of fire...but from the other end. C'mon, that's cool not stupid!

why isn't Witcher in the list
it's a good name you retard

No, it isn't. It makes me think of a dude who makes or fucks witches. In fact, from what I've heard the PC fucks ordinary peasant sluts and slay dragons monsters. Terrible name.

Also, it's not a true cRPG, but an action game with RPG elements, something like Zelda, thus the fun nickname Twitcher.

It's a name that intrigues you(unless you are a retard) by making you ask yourself what is even a witcher.
It's short, snappy, descriptive and to the point because The Witcher is exactly what you are in the game.

Doesn't intrigue me at all. I already explained what a witcher is: someone who makes or fucks witches. But when I look at the game, he's some kind of smash monster guy. I want to play it some day for the boobies.

Names that intrigue me: Pillars of Eternity, Torment: Tides of Numanera, Fate: Gates of Destiny, Temple of Elemental Evil

Only a retard would care to ask themselves "What is even a witcher", on it's own it'd just make you think of covens or witches or spellcraft. it's not intriguing in any way and it doesn't paint a picture of what the game is like.
In that regards it's an average RPG name. Better than something like Divinity: Original Sin, but not really good to anyone but the biggest idiots.

Agree. I voted for Divinity: Original Sin, which is the worst name in the list. Divine Divinity is also almost as bad, but could at least make sense in the game. D:OS has nothing to do with Genesis 3, which is why it's so retarded. I should know:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin

The concept of original sin was first alluded to in the 2nd century by Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons in his controversy with certain dualist Gnostics.

Irenaeus contrasted their doctrine with the view that the Fall was a step in the wrong direction by Adam, with whom, Irenaeus believed, his descendants had some solidarity or identity.[16] Irenaeus believed that Adam's sin had grave consequences for humanity, that it is the source of human sinfulness, mortality and enslavement to sin, and that all human beings participate in his sin and share his guilt.[17]



*Not counting the Elex, which just appeared and is obviously retarded, and jRPG games which are non-existent in my observable universe.

Divine Divinity. But that's exactly the kind of humour you encounter in the game, fits perfectly and I wouldn't change it. Ever.
It's a silly title nonetheless

Man, I think we've all forgotten about this gem:
Skilltree Saga

I can't wait for DPS Destinies.

Fucking hell that's disturbing.

I'd vote for Witcher, might work in Polish but wouldn't the English translation be Warlock? That seems a far more apt title than a nonexistent word, well to me at least, and Warlock was a pretty good bad movie. The old cowboy even better than the horror.

There is a loom in Loom, though.
I would post the Space Quest 4 easter egg but the screenshots are tiny...
