Desdemona versus Desdemona?!

Oneirohero · 02-19-2010 01:02 PM

I'm not sure if it's been brought up yet, but has anybody realised that come Going Rogue, there will be TWO Desdemonas in the game?

There's the new Demon-Summoner Desdemona for Going Rogue, but if you've played CoV's Cap Au Diable Mayhem mission, you may remember our old broker, Desdemona the Glint.

Could there be any side-effects to this seemingly innocuous issue?

You know what the best part of two Desdemonas fighting is?

There's a chance they might kiss.

Sister_Twelve · 02-19-2010 01:06 PM

You mean there will be two people in the world with the same name?

Crap. That needs to be addressed immediately. Such a travesty would result in a rift in the space time continuum and the game would immediately end.

I thought I was gonna come in here and see a Photoshopped picture of the two Des's in a Jello Hot tub duking it out.

And then I was gonna complain that this isn't an appropriate media for your pr0n.

I'm betting folks wouldn't feel that way if it had happened with Maelstrom.

How's Maelstrom supposed to kiss anyone, anyway?

I would

Also she'll probably just name herself "Desdemona." to get past the filter.

Hmm... Another thought. After GR, we will have two different enemy groups with the same shorthand. We have the Paragon Police Department or PPD and the Praetorian Police Department also PPD. So, how do we rectify THIS?

We say the whole name, instead of the shortened PPD. Ta da!

It has been brought up.

I tried using hand signals to talk to somebody once. Sadly, the only useful hand signals I know are relatively rude, and also of little use over the internets, seeings as I do not have a webcam.

Well here's the thing, one is named Desdemona the Glint whereas the other is simply named Desdemona. Ergo, the problem's solved itself.

I wonder if there's a creative type at Paragon who's read this thread and suffered a massive, crushing facepalm when he/she realized they'd recycled an already used name.

No. They did that the first time this was talked about, way back many months ago when we first heard about Desdemona. (I remember the thread because I posted in it, mentioning something similar to what Scythus said.)

Two women named Desdomona?! They must be parallel dimension analogues of each other! The resemblance is uncanny....

Or maybe not. But what a coincidence. It would be like having two young girls both named Penny in the game. What's the odds of that happening?

I'm still of the opinion that someone who had a hand in game-lore had an old flame named Penelope ...

It's not exactly the most common name and I think there's also a baddie in Croatoa named Penny you fight as well ...

Penelope Nemmers, ghost boss. She's presumably a relative (sister?) of ghost contact Kelly Nemmers, although this is never mentioned anywhere in the story that I can find.

Speaking of baddies named Penny, you fight a villain named Bad Penny in.... the LGTF?
