Is this a case of did not do the research? There is a small city in the Orkney Islands of Scotland called Kirkwall. And given that I live about oh....200 miles? from there I could not take this game seriously if they keep that for the name of the place where I'd guess a good chunk of the game is gonna take place.  Appologies if someone has already picked up on this.

Youre right, lets name it New York instead

or Stormwind

[Anathemic]

I laughed 10 points for you

[Dileos]

If the king of Kirkwall isn't named Kirk I'm going to be mad.



And furthermore it shall be known as Captain Kirkwall.

[fraser_morgan]

I think you're confused. The captain of the city guard, who of course would stand on the walls would be Captain Kirk surely?

I laughed every time they mentioned it. Lived there for a year and saw exactly 0 mages in that time.

Obviously.  Loads of Templars in Kirkwall.  Mages stay on the mainland.

Do you know how many cities, towns, and obscure hovels are on Earth? Yeah, about that, they're not gonna waste too much time worrying about it I wager.

From the wikipedia article:

'On 7 November 2008, former Batman Mayor Hüseyin Kalkan began looking into the possibility of suing Christopher Nolan, director of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, and Warner Bros., distributor of the films, claiming the studios had been using "Batman", the name of the superhero, without permission from the city, and "placing the blame for a number of unsolved murders and a high female suicide rate on the psychological impact that the films' success has had on the city's inhabitants." No lawsuit has actually been filed.'

It's not the Kirkwall you know. There may have been another Kirk in Thedas who built another wall.

I just hope that the templars in Kirkwall are led by Kirk Cameron.

[Jonzz]
