Name Pronunciations!

Post by Bregga » Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:02 pm

I have a hard time pronouncing some of the names I see in the game! How do you pronounce your characters names?
Radgar Warrior of Tempus!
Bregga Warrior of Moradin!
Allistair Priest of Tyr!

Listen up! People pay good money to see this movie! When they go out to a theater they want cold sodas, hot popcorn, and no monsters in the projection booth! Do I have to come up there myself? Do you think the Gremsters can stand up to the Hulkster?

May you find the knowledge you seek. If you find something else, it is still knowledge, and as such, still a gain.

I don't reckon one's too hard to figure out, but I reckon I'll lay both out none the same.

Dovan / Doe - vahn

Eireval / Ear - eh - vhal

Either can always be pronounced as "Easy Mark".
