The problem with straying to far from Dungeons and Dragons.

I looooooooooove how easily threads go off-off-off-topic. Epsecially now that the game is one week away from release and there is no need for "serious" debating. So entertaining hahaha!

@messier To my ear "Dwiergus" sounds like what that Germanic word for dwarf (dwergaz) would become if it was loaned into a Slavic language.

Since the topic is moved (or is it just a parenthesis?) from how bad or not it is to stray from DnD, to strange names, Here's a link for those to seek inspiration for names, strange or not.

Yea I basically accepted most people are ok with a pretty good fantasy RPG that may or may not feel anything like BG or Icewind Dale (Though they parade those games on the games homepage) and would rather talk about silly fantasy names... lets face it, most of us have already pre ordered POE.

All threads go through a transformation, Ace.  There's really no way to prevent it, but sometimes things go off on tangents and come back.  The reality is, there's nothing to talk about on the issue anyway.  I'm not saying that dismissively.  The option to use DnD lore simply didn't exist from the very beginning.  They were always going to create a new intellectual properties unless they used... maybe Alpha Protocol?  That would not have been the way to pitch a game to IE fans, though.  :Cant's wry grin icon:

 

I'm not telling you that creating the topic was bad, but if we were going to confine ourselves to pertinent topics, this whole thread would have been closed.  ...But it does discuss PoE and a lot of folks seemed to enjoy the debate.  I had a good time and a couple of the members surprised me with their erudition or eloquence.  So, why not let the discussion range?  It will eventually run out of steam and someone will replace it with something else.  If it's a second Romance thread, it will be closed or merged.  lol  Keep up the good fight, though!
