SWTOR Harry Potter reference


Recommended Posts

Is it on purpose or coincidence that all 3 of the inquisitor's 'Darth titles' are the names of Harry Potter spells? Wouldn't be surprising considering Ea's involvement with the franchise.

Rowling uses a lot of latin's words for spells, and so did BW for some sith's titles, I don't think there is a direct link whatsoever. Edited by Arkeran

I know, however Nox is a Greek/Roman goddess. there's also the fact EA does the Harry Potter games. I'd say you're probably right though, after all Darth Thanaton comes from a Greek origin as well (Thanatos).

Pretty much this. You better not be telling me my Dark Lord of the Sith is running around with a name from tween wizard fiction. :confused::(:mad::rak_04:

Nox- darkness, night, death

 

Oculus - eye, seeing, foresight

 

Imperio - one who commands, imperial

 

It's not a Harry Potter reference, the writers just used words that meant what they wanted to imply.
