Opinion Poll: Famous Names in History
Added 2023-01-18 04:09:03 +0000 UTCGreetings, one and all!
I need to pick your brains. One of the things I'm working on for the latest update is the ability to recruit famous figures from history. So, as part of that, I'm doing research on these famous individuals. And one of the things I've found is that history doesn't always match our expectations (which are often derived from popular films).
For instance, you've heard the name Joan of Arc, right? Pretty famous. Well, it might surprise you to learn that Joan herself never actually heard that name. While she was alive, she simply went by the name Jehanne, or sometimes referred to herself in official letters as Jeanne la Pucelle (Joan the Maiden). The first written record of her being called Jeanne d'Arc (French for 'Joan of Arc') doesn't come until 24 years after her death.
So, here's the question: If you get to recruit Joan of Arc for the Citadel, what name would you like to see her go by?
I like to lean toward historical accuracy whenever possible, but at the same time, if making a "famous" name too historically accurate makes it unrecognizable, then it kind of defeats the purpose, right?
