Calisca... Kalista? Coincedence... or inspiration?

[Osvir]

I play League of Legends a bit, and a new champion came out recently, Kalista.

I know that Riot and Obsidian has a door to door office.

Kalista's character is all about vengeance, and she's a soul-type-like being. She uses Spears.

----------

Calisca, is a human Fighter from the Living Lands (Starter Gear: Spear).

Calisca presumably dies by the "device"/even early in the game.

----------

My speculation: Riot employees having getting a glimpse or even discussed some of the Lore with Obsidian, and they created Kalista based on Calisca's later-game appearance, where she might enter the stage to act out vengeance to the party/main character/Watcher.

This might be far-fetched speculation, but there's lots of coincedences I feel. Name, weapon, and even her soul-like appearance can be briefly compared with Soul lore of Pillars of Eternity (or Soul creatures, such as the Cean Gula, sp?, for instance), and it could be a potential outcome of the device thing early in the game; I.E. Calisca (PoE) appearing as a mid-boss or side-boss later in the game as a Soul-Being.

Is Kalista/Calisca a "Hint" of what might happen in Pillars of Eternity? Or is it merely an accidental and unintentional coincedence?

Or did Calisca's soul disappear from Pillars of Eternity, and her Spear of Vengeance (<- Kalista's title) reborn in League of Legends?

Probably! But I thought it interesting still.

Calista is an actual name real people have. (Yes, yes, this starts with a K.)

We don't share a door with Riot. Not sure where you got that info. They are about 40 miles to the north. 

 

Also game developers discuss zip about the games they are working on. 

 

It's purely coincidence.

Correct. Also the bolded is so inconsequential, it makes no difference. Like if Calista with C exists it more than likely will/can also exist with a K.

Sorry! I recalled from memory, I must've misinterpreted it as closer than what it is.

Maybe you were thinking of Blizzard?

[Osvir]

Possible as well, mix-matched some info between companies maybe.
