Name Pronunciation

    This isnt anything game breaking or indeed very important in the scheme of things, but something struck me as I was looking through the Original Concept Art; we could use a name pronunciation section in the lore pages of Pantheon. For instance:

    Is Ocirico pronounced: Os-ee-Ree-so, Ok-ee-ri-ko, Osi-Ree-ko or ?

    Is Aoeyn: A-Oh-In, A-Oh-E-In, A-Oh-Eyen or ?

    Etc.

     

    I know you guys dont mind too much, but it would be nice (for me anyway) to have an official take on the pronunciation of the names of Pantheon.

    This then lead me to another question; in Welsh (for instance) letter groupings are often pronounced differently than the english equivalent -- "dd" (as in ddydd) sounds like "th" and "di" is "j" (and lots of others). I would expect the races of Terminus to have their own variation of sounds for letter grouping too. Maybe we could at some stage have a concise listing for each race detailing the differences in these sound?

    I know this is a definate low importance item, and there is a lot of other stuff that needs done first, but I think it might add a bit more depth to the lore of each race and I would definately be interested and would keep using it when I came across something while adventuring, just to make sure I was saying something correctly.

    Not important, but it would draw me in just that little bit more.

    Missed those threads, cheers Zorkon; they are from a while ago, so, in the light of the new game site, I still would like to suggest that something is put up there for us neanderthals. :-)

    On a broader but not entirely unrelated topic - it might not be a bad idea to emulate LOTRO and have a non-mandatory guide to common names for the player character races. Assuming the lore has gotten that far.
