[quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="curst"]As to why it's named Deception... that's opening up a can of worms. If you start asking yourself this, then you're going to lose your mind. Why was the latest Thief is called Deadly Shadows? Aren't the shadows your greatest ally? Why was Age Of Wonders 2 called "The Wizard's Throne"? Is the idea of a wizard sitting on a throne supposed to compel me to buy a video game? Kohan 2's "Kings Of War"? Holy shit, you mean that in this game, various kings go to war? WHOA NO WAY THAT'S TOO MINDBLOWING A CONCEPT FOR ME TO COMPREHEND. Birthright:Gorgon's Alliance? Even though that (<i>indescribably horrible</i>) game has nothing to do with warring gorgon clans signing a peace treaty, but rather it's yet another 'evil force threatens world' plot and I didn't see one gorgon in it? Might & Magic 7's "For Blood And Honor"? Am I a noble and virtuous vampire? No, wait, it's just a random string of words. (<i>Max Payne 2's subtitle joke</i>)? (<i>SW:Dark Forces series' subtitles joke</i>)? Game makers are as reliable as B-movie makers when it comes to thinking up meaningless subtitles. I've long since stopped caring about them.[/quote]Hey, we bought Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, a title that sounds like a reject from a high school Creative Writing class. I'm waiting for a Dungeon Siege vs Baldur's Gate game, which I'd have to call <I>Amn 'n' Ehb</I>.[/quote]
