Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Jeff has been known to name game characters after family, friends, and media references that he's watched, read, or listened to. There used to be a topic that listed every reference that members could find, but it appears to be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk springacres Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I always thought it was "Pit-Bred" not "Pit-Brad"? But yes, there are a number of cultural references and jokes in SW games. (And this is from someone who's only played A:EftP, Nethergate: Resurrection, Ava1 and Ava2, plus a couple demos.)

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Pit-bred just means it was born and raised in a pit. Which at least makes sense for the hounds in the Avadon dungeons. Why the ogres in the Tawon Empire are all pit-bred is much less clear.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I don't know about you, but if ogres want to breed in a pit, I'm probably not going to try to stop them. Tyranicus, nikki., Edgwyn and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 No, no. Lynaeus is full of pits, and everyone knows a good pit needs an ogre. Sadly, many ogres are constitutionally more suited to swamps or proper caves, or occasionally decrepit castles. Seeing a niche to fill, breeders have started programs to breed ogres exclusively for those pits. —Alorael, who would be remiss if he neglected the associated phenomenon of pit bread. You see, while inbreeding often leads to negative traits (and pit-bred ogres are sadly prone to hip dysplasia), these ogres also have a remarkable talent as bakers. Their fine artisanal breads can command top prices. Aran, springacres, Edgwyn and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 He doesn't really. It's a relative clause: 'who' is third person. So for instance it's "I knock" but "I am the one who knocks." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for instance it's "I knock" but "I am the one who knocks." Obscure grammar minutia! I think this is not quite right. As I understand it, "who" takes the person of its referent. In your example, "I am the one who knocks," "who" refers to "one," and "one" is third-person. But if you were to say, "I, who am your worst nightmare, have come," the "who" refers to "I" and therefore is first-person. At least, that formerly was the rule, but I don't think that very many people use the sentence structure that would call for the rule anymore, much less apply the rule correctly. (I can't even find a website that mentions this rule, after some quick Googling.) So probably now most people just use a third-person "who" regardless. Alorael mentions his name in the third person because it's a simulation of a signature. You sign your name at the end of a letter, email, or, in Alo's case, a post. And, oddly, because the name is in the third-person, the "who" presumably is in the third person as well. —Kelandon, who really enjoys stepping on Alo's toes, especially now that Alo is all high and might and running the place.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 "I am your worst nightmare" is different from "I, who am your worst nightmare," though. Very different, in fact, given that "I am your worst nightmare" is such a commonly uttered line that it's a cliché while "I, who am your worst nightmare" is awkward and pretentious enough that apparently no one uses it. Dikiyoba would volunteer to be your worst nightmare were it not for the fact that Dikiyoba is only frightening enough to qualify as your fourth worst nightmare. Perhaps third worst, on a good day.

You'd make a terrible nightmare. The worst, even. I know. It's been tough ever since everyone learned that dinosaurs had feathers and are the ancestors of birds. Somehow, the fact that T. rex likely had some feathers completely negates the fact that had teeth up to 12 inches long, the strongest bite force of any terrestrial animal ever, got into vicious fights with each other, and killed other huge, well-armed (meaning weaponry, not forelimbs, though most other dinosaurs were well-armed in comparison to Tyrannosaurus in that sense too) dinos r a living. Dikiyoba may have to branch out into archosaurs in general. Modern crocodiles are terrifying, and they're only the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
