Wheel of Time
Eccehobo replied to Darkenmal's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I would be willing to post pictures of me being "serviced" by a dog, a goat and a chipmunk if this turns out to be a WoT game. That's how certain I am that it's not. -

For me and lots of other fans? Absolutely not. The world of WoT is a living, breathing universe and the potential interaction there is limitless. -

Given that Red Eagle Entertainment is run by those very small children, this may be the best shot, other then praying for GOG.com to get the old (but surprisingly good) 1999 shooter on there. I still have the original discs for that game, bought it the day it launched. No idea if it will on on Win 7, but thinking it might be time to try. -

While I would strangle small children for a WoT game, this isn't it. It doesn't fit and no amount of wishful thinking will make it so. -

Sorry, you're just obviously incorrect about theme. Tone and prose I agree aren't alike, but that was never my point - theme was, and it's obviously thematically similar. You really can't see anything similar between "The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again." and "Your kind must learn it comes from straining against the turning of the world. It spins thus. You cannot stop it."? Also, virtually everyone in Tel'aran'rhiod was a "watcher" of some sort -

No, Watchers are not fairly prominent figures in WoT. The Amyrlin Seat has the title of Watcher of the Seals (an honorific since the Aes Sedai haven't had the seals for nearly 1000 years), the Watchers over the Waves got about three mentions before the Seanchan killed them for "watching for the wrong thing and forgetting what should have been remembered" and Moridin/Ishmael was referred to as the Watcher for about three or four chapters before being outed as Moridin. That's it, the only "Watchers" in WoT. Except, of course, for Tel'aran'rhiod, which has plenty of (lower case w) watche -
I thought there were Watchers in WOT. The Watcher of the Seals, the Flame of Tar Valon... And when you go to sleep in Wheel of Time, you 'dream' and you go into another world. If you die, you die for all eternity. Still betting on Wheel of Time, wouldn't be surprised if it was something else though. You've never really read the books have you?

Except that Wheel of Time quote is anything but a quote. -

The only people that could have thought this was Wheel of Time related are the people that know nothing of Wheel of Time. As much as I wish it could be, what we've seen so far matches nothing in WoT. -

As a long time WoT fan, who did obsessive re-reads of the entire series every time a new book was published, I can promise that this has nothing to do with WoT. Unless the story guys at Obsidian go completely off source, kind of like the video game version of Constantine. As for what it is, I have a few theories. Eir Glanfath taken together has a kind of Celtic ring to it, however with the last message I'm leaning towards Nordic. A quick google shows that Eir is the Nordic god of mercy, maybe relevant, maybe not. The crater and the Godhammer citadel sounds like it could be associated
