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.


Tip: Never play the Ultima games. You'll hate them.

Seriously? You can't take it seriously because of a name? I fail to see how this has any impact whatsoever on anything.



It's not a case of DidNotDoTheResearch. It's a case of DidDoTheResearchButPossiblyTooLateToChangeIt.



Shortened, it means:



It's a video game. All coincidences in names are coincidences and do not reflect on the real places outside of the game. Seriously? Seriously.

I'm pretty sure there's also a Scottish city called Cumberland. Which is also a place in Nevarra, which used to be part of the Free Marches, leading me to believe the Free Marches is based on Scotland. Not only that, but it's also north of Ferelden, Thedas' England.

They do. The chocolate is really thick, and it doesn't just taste of mint, there is an entire layer of creamy mintiness. 


The ONLY good Viscount is a mint Viscount.

Actually, Cumberland is about  half of the county of Cumbria and is the bit of England right under Scotland (on the left hand side).

It's famous for its sausage :-)

(I went to school there for a while, and my mother worked in Kirkwall as well. Small world.)
