linda Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 They sure aren't very imaginatve... Disciple, Handmaiden, Mandalore, Exile, those aren't names, they are nouns! Visas is a little weird, too, but at least it can be pronounced as a name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTORFanactic Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Well, I'm guessing you haven't gotten very through the game, so I won't reveal much except this. You discover the real names of Disciple/Handmaiden later in the game. Same for Mandalore. Of course, they had to use Exile for the name of your character, since they can't put in the name that you choose. It'd just be too random, so they had to use that. Perhaps they could've done with something a little more creative, but that's just how things are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petay Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I don't see how Mandalore is a noun, there's nothing in my dictionary about it, and I've never heard it out of KotOR context before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreptishus Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Come on! You know Mandalore! its a slang term for policeman. Its a corruption and contraction of "man of the law". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And stupid me for including Exile, I forgot that was me! I've got to get off these boards and get playing! And thanks for not giving anything away with the names... It's enough to know something will develop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a Brit is British. At least that is how I have been interpreting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Nope, it's a title. Mandalore is the leader of the Mandalorians. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janmanden Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Yeah, well... The name or noun "Mandalore" is a title for the head of the Mandalorians, like King or "My Lord" the supreme of the Mandalorians - it's the highest honor. But the rest suffers from being Unique characters... like HK-47 which is - it seems - just a model number now that HK-50's exist.

Sikon Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Obsidian didn't use Exile for the character name. Exile (and the longer form, Jedi Exile) is a fan nickname designed to somehow refer to that character. I wonder how they will call the KOTOR III main character... Besides, I think it's sort of the point. They all used to have identities: the PC had a name and was a General in the Mandalorian Wars, Brianna was an Echani servant of Jedi Master Atris, Mical was a Jedi student, then a Republic agent and a historian, Canderous Ordo was a veteran of the Mandalorian Wars, a mercenary and a hero of the Republic, cavalier of the Cross of Clory... Now they are just Exile, Handmaiden, Disciple, Mandalore. A bunch of vitality and Force points. Meat shields. Exile drains the identities of those who follow him...

Delta Truth Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Indeed they seem they throw surprising and have different characters finding there real names midway through the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrielle Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Handmaiden. What an odd name just like Disciple. They should have used their random name generator to come up with a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassidy Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I can understand Handmaiden... she is one of Atris' handmaidens. But why Desciple? That didn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Onivega Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 hmmm, perhaps in k3 the characters will be able to pronounce the name of ur character no matter what you put in for a name hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the game could say all the combinations that comes from the RNG... hmm.. but some people like inventing new strange names..

LadyCrimson Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Disciple is Disciple because he's a disciple of faith...of the force, of the jedi, of the republic, however you want to look at it.
