Nonek Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) On my monitor an update tapping, something to wake me from my troubled napping. And so I did hie to my study and lock the door. Pillars of Eternity Mister Urquhart thundered, and in my mind on the new name I wondered. It shall be called Poe, forevermore. Edited October 30, 2013 by Nonek 11 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagaziel Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Shame this title sounds a little bit weird in Polish though Oh well, whatever. (Sztywne) Pale Eternitu? I believe that any translation will sound awkward until you get used to it. I get this a lot while working on my book and setting, nothing sounds natural until I get used to it. On a more serious note, since there's little to go on, I'd wager construction-related words could be used in lieu of filar (if Filary Wieczności doesn't sound marketable enough). Kolumny, Podpory, Fundamenty, Stemple, Dźwigary etc. don't really sound more outrageous than Wrota Baldura or Okres Połowicznego Rozpadu Pierwiastków Radioaktywnych. 3 HMIC for: [ The Wasteland Wiki ] [ Pillars of Eternity Wiki ] [ Tyranny Wiki ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Dolina Lodowego Wichru and Opad radioaktywny "What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet;" The first always sounded damn cool to me, better than the original title. Hmm, maybe I have an obsession with the word wicher and related ones that sound so... hard and edgy. Fallout doesn't translate as well, as you point. However, I warmed up to translating Half-Life as Rozpad. Holy crap, I really love words with z's, r's, and w's. Is that a symptom of something?

IndiraLightfoot Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) It's been a while, and when I get back to these great forums for a peek, what do I see, yet another hilarious thread! :D Well, Pillars of Eternity. it's a decent name, and for a special site in-game it's great. But I somehow thinks it lends itself to Piles of Eternity, a dread for many avid gamers. It also has a suicidal proxy name: Pills of Eternity. And I think it would be bad if it gets the same abbreviation as Path of Exile. I'd love to save PE, but not as an acronym. How about Phases of Eternity? That would be cryptic enough. EDIT: Hang on, that contradicts my sticking to PE. Perhaps Phase Eternity, instead?

Messier-31 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Perhaps the backers can be known as the "pillars of eternity", as we supported the project? This might be true. 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. It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
