October 30, 201312 yr Nothing is ever final until the Game of the Year Edition is released. I'll give the name until the official announcement, however. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
October 30, 201312 yr Most possibly. 8P Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
October 30, 201312 yr Well, they stuck with PE anyway. I'll admit to being a tad disappointed however. It lacks a certain pizzaz.
October 30, 201312 yr Love it. Finally, there's a proper handle for this endeavor. Can't wait to discover if the pillars are figurative, or literal, soul-based, or all of the above. All Stop. On Screen.
October 30, 201312 yr I like it, I hope it is indeed the official name. As long as it doesn't wind up being called Legends of <whatever> I'll be fine with the name. 🇺🇸RFK Jr 2024🇺🇸 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
October 30, 201312 yr I like it, I hope it is indeed the official name. As long as it doesn't wind up being called Legends of <whatever> I'll be fine with the name. They will name it "Legends of Eternity" or "Eternal Legends" just to spite you.

October 30, 201312 yr Good name. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
October 30, 201312 yr Shrug. X of Y is kind of bland, but what you gonna do. I guess it worked for Age of Empires The acronym doubles up with Path of Exile too lol. Tbh plain Eternity would be better. Unless Eternity is the franchise and Pillars is just the name of the first game. Edited October 30, 201312 yr by Sensuki
October 30, 201312 yr Actually a very good name, the word "pillar" is rarely used and it fits the acronym "PE"And it seems we get to wreck things up. Pillars are to be knocked after all.
October 30, 201312 yr Shrug. X of Y is kind of bland, but what you gonna do. I guess it worked for Age of Empires The acronym doubles up with Path of Exile too lol. Tbh plain Eternity would be better. Unless Eternity is the franchise and Pillars is just the name of the first game. I found myself thinking this as well. "Project Eternity" is really ingrained in my mind so I'm glad they kept with that theme. But the X of Y format takes something out of it on first pass. The more I hear it though the more I like it. It's in the same vein as Pillars of Islam, or Pillars of Narrative which describe key tenets or elements to a concept, practice or skill. I think the name just has a lot of syllables and that is the primary reason that name seems a bit cumbersome to voice or read. Though Metal Gear Solid, or Shin Megami Tensai don't exactly win on fronts of meaning or concision either. I have to say I'm very happy with where the name stands. I wouldn't expect them to change it again at this point. There is something to be said about building the proper mind share for the title. I'm sure they have settled and will begin associating this name with their project during the remaining months of development.
October 30, 201312 yr I like it - keeps the PE bit and evokes imagination. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form*
October 30, 201312 yr Not bad, I can certainly envision "Pillars of Eternity" as a marketable franchise name for a series. At the very least, I like it more than the names of any of the games that inspired PE...
October 30, 201312 yr Unless Eternity is the franchise and Pillars is just the name of the first game. I was ambivalent about the name until I read this. Fingers crossed.
October 30, 201312 yr This is just to surprise us when they announce it's called "The Eternal Guido".

October 30, 201312 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=domXumvTVI8 There's already an Eternal Guido. Edited October 30, 201312 yr by Sensuki

October 30, 201312 yr Pillars of Eternity... it's okay. It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...
October 30, 201312 yr I think it's ok, though I would like to suggest "Lost in Eternity", "Engulfed by Eternity" and my personal favourite "Road to Eternity"
October 30, 201312 yr Pillars could also be referring to the Pillars of Adra, which probably play an integral role in the story of the game.
October 30, 201312 yr Michael Bell and Simon Templeman confirmed? Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
October 30, 201312 yr Though I remember the campaign referring to the backers as "Pillars of Eternity" and these are screenshots of the backer portal, so... It would be a nice touch nevertheless and a friendly nod towards us backers. To add that I really like the word pillar. It's somehow really a beautiful word, soundwise and letterwise.
