Randomly Generated Name was... clever.

"I'm not Revan, I'm Randomly Generated Na... wait, I should have known!"

Why is Mandalore on the list? It isnt half as bad as 'Atton' :blink:

I am the Nameless One. How lame can you get? But it was a lame game to begin with so...

How is Mandaloire bad? It's a good title, decent name, and not nearly as unimaginative as 'Disciple or Handmaiden'.

But i has to be the Exile. They shudve had some kind of giant list of names and you chose how the name was pronounced from that or something. The Exile....what a lame title!

Edited by Styur Voln

K1 was much better at using things like "he"/"she" more smoothly. K2 spams "Exile" so much...

 

I don't remember them using he or she in Kotor1 at all.. they used Revan consequently ..

 

whilst Kotor2 (even if there were mistakes) at least tried to be "gender-true" ..

Fortune favors the bald.

Because Atton is a real name. Mandalore shouldn't really be on the list because it's a title.

you can't have a much worse name than nameless one

... and it still prolly wouldn't have come out right, knowing how funny those text-to-speech programs sound

Dawes ain't too bright. Hitting rock bottom is when you leave 2 tickets on the dash of your car, leave it unlocked hoping someone will steal them & when you come back, there are 4 tickets on your dashboard.

Disicple. Disciple of what? Exile is Exile because he was Exiled. Handmaiden is Handmaiden because she is a Handmaiden. Mandalore is Mandalore because...well...thats just the title for Mandalorian leader. But exactly is the Disciple disciple of?

Disciple is a Disciple of the Jedi. I think that's extra dialouge.

Disicple. Disciple of what?

Sounds like some rip-off of "Disciples of Ragnos" of JA, although yes I know if you're a disciple then you have to say something like that, but still, bad name to go with in the first place.

Obsidian ripping off JA? You must be kidding, there's nothing rip-offable there to begin with.

Nameless One. I hate Torment and how thoughtless can you be by having no name?

Adahn is not the Nameless One's name.

MasterRevan, why do you hate Torment?

My post was not a reply to MasterRevan's post. I was replying to the topic title.

Disciple. I mean, how much worse can it get? That Boring Blond Guy? The poor kid. I mean, female Exiles don't even learn his name at all, and he's in their party.

 

Refresh my memory. Who exactly was The Nameless One anyway?

I must be really off-beat or something...

Who was called "The Nameless One"?

This is what occurs when one tries to insert an anomalous element in the average SW nerd's dwelling locus.

The Nameless One was the main character of Planescape: Torment, an RPG made by Black Isle Studios, the predecessor of Obsidian. Chris Avellone was the lead designer of both this game and K2, which led some to criticize him for allegedly borrowing K2 story elements from PST.

In K2, he was sort of split into Exile and Darth Sion.

He reminded me heaps of "Prince Charming" from Shrek 2. I've never played as Female PC but I've read he has a real name too (although like Handmaiden, he's always labelled Disciple).
