Der Dräkblög / Re: Localization: Why We Do What We Do

“Tiers” is actually pronounced with an effectively silent s (much like “Paris”), but I was fairly certain that most Americans would try to pronounce it with a hard S, meaning it’d seem like her name no longer matched up with the voiceover still in the game

Fun fact: even without your brainstorming, the "Third" reference would have still worked since with a hard S, it sounds like "Tierce" which is pretty much the feminine form of "Tiers" in french (yes, it's uselessly complex).

Now I feel like a grammar nazi since that post is the reason why I finally made an account on your forums, after perhaps a year of lurking around...
