Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis Divinity II: Why it is called "Ego Draconis"

And unfortunatley I was one of the people with nothing else to do in my life at the moment that to pick up anunknown computer game and buy it!! :P

In D2:ED you can turn into a dragon. Since your character is a dragon slayer (a source of some conflict once you are 'cursed' with the ability to change into one) it is unlikely you would be able to ride a dragon. Riding horses has not been mentioned or shown, so I doubt that would be possible either.

Welcome to the forum.

Wow, have the forums ever changed since I was last here. I'll have to put this back on my regular visiting list again now that D2 is on its way.

Thought I'd pop in again and see if there was any news on Divinity 2. Imagine my surprise when I see its due for release this year. WOO! =D. Personally I love the name, but then anything is better than Divine Divinity =P.

ive been wondering what ego draconis means

Ego is latin for "me" and I suppose that Draconis has something to do with the dragon, so I am guessing something like "me, the dragon" or "i am a dragon" or sth like that

Euhm... the meaning of the title has been explained in the very first post in this thread

damn I was very close without having read that... my 2 years of latin studies still pays of sometimes

no ego draconis is nice name

Glad you like it. Welcome to the forum!

Great name, a bit misterious, and also i think that the picture from the game it's related to the name so that's cool for a game.

I think Divinity II: Ego Draconis is a very good title for a rpg.

A bit of latin is always classy and it's also somewhat mysterious: Chances are folks won't exactly know what it means but that it has something to do with "dragons" and "yourself" and will be intrigued by it (that's how it was for me until I read the thread's opening post ).

Plus, I simply like the sound of it. Kinda cool.

I never thought of why does it called Ego Draconis but it's interesting
Thanks teacher!

You're welcome!

I think also in a world that is getting even more so loaded w/ lots of expansion packs and DLC, this is probably why sub-titles are becoming even more commonplace -- for gamers and people to be able to easier differentiate b/t the original box game and its later expansions, stand-alone expansions, and/or DLC's.

I mean, would anybody have complained if original game "Guild Wars" was say re-titled Guild Wars: Prophecies? When I say "Guild Wars", what campaign of the game am I referring to? Hmmmm...Am I referring to all of the GW Content? Nightfall? Prophecies? Factions? Eye of the North? Which one? I think a sub-title makes it easier for me and gamers to be specific, if they choose to be.

I have no problem w/ the title "Divinity 2" or "Divinity 2: Ego Draconis" -- actually, I like the specific-ness of the subtitle "Ego Draconis", which translates into "I, from/of the Dragon" (as a scion or descendant).

It's a lot better of a title than the title overly redundant "Divine Divinity."

I agree completely.
You can still call it "Divinity 2", but if there are add-ons eventually, you can call it "Ego Draconis".

Personally, I even use Ego Draconis usually when I mention it, 'cause hardly anybody knows about Divinity anyway.

I don't know about the degree bit, I didn't even take lit. at college and even I knew that "draconis" was something to do with dragons and that "ego" was something to do with a person/me. I think most people would at least get the draconis bit. You don't need to understand the litteral translation to understand the meaning. Maybe that's just me

BTW: BlackHawk is your avatar of a spacewolf/something similar? good paint-job if it is

Name is good.

I liked first Divine Divinity.. I like this.

Nerdy? Hah.. this game apparently isn´t made for no-brainers. So name suits it well.

I haven´t study latin, but meaning of those words is quite easy to get.. unless you are completely stupid.
