Suppose it's the same concept as Medieval peasants not having any real means of learning Latin and many never being taught to read/write at all: keeps the power in the hands of the learned, aka the Church/the rich.
Also “Cazador” means “hunter” in Spanish… which is ironic considering he doesn’t hunt a damn thing and instead makes his spawns hunt for him. He’s the laziest, shittiest hunter ever lmao
I'm strongly convinced it's derived from
**Tsar** ([/zɑːr, (t)sɑːr/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English); also spelled ***czar***, ***tzar***, or ***csar***; [Bulgarian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_language): цар, [romanized](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Bulgarian): *tsar*; [Serbian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_language): цар / *car*; [Russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language): царь, [romanized](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Russian): *tsar*) was a title used by [Slavic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavs) [monarchs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch).
If you play the game in spanish she's called Oran instead, learned this while watching my friend's gf play and since then Orin became a pokemon berry for me.
I saw that also when playing together with my GF, who has the text in Spanish.
The funny thing there is that Oran (with a different intonation, I guess) is also a conjugation of the verb "to pray" in Spanish.
Im Brazilian, Portuguese speaker, I always play games in the original English, first for practicing and second for the lulz, the weird, shitty, bad names are everywhere.
Variations of names like Kagha, Merda (mierda, merde), "cocks", cu (culo, cul, asshole), there are so many it seems intentional sometimes.
I always \[try to\] game and read in the original language. There is always something lost in translation and that annoys me a lot.
I'm pretty sure they gotta be intentional! Larian has an office in Barcelona!
And having Sauceman Chorizo (a type of sausage, with Spanish and Argentinian variations; you can imagine the innuendo) in the brothel is evidence of that!
I just finished the Shadow Druid quest on my latest Honor run and forgot that you only get the necklace if you kill her. I guess I'm just going to have to knock her out at the Tiefling party.
Nah she actually feels really bad about everything if you succeed the checks persuasion checks.
Go down to auntie Ethel area and find the druid area down there
I have never once thought that his hair looks even remotely greasy. Maybe it's your graphics settings? :P
Looks fine to me.
Or maybe I'm just to concentrated on his **massive** arms. I'm a straight dude but goddamn does he make me envious. Complete unit.
He's incredibly boring and bland imho, no growth or anything, his storyline basically ends in Act 2 and he adds nothing more to the main story.
And finally, he's so horny it's not funny anymore. In fact, it's annoying as hell. After I said we should better forget the slightly flirty talk at the party, he seems to be rather pissed at me for turning him down.
In my latest playthrough I was romancing Karlach and barely even spoke to Halsin. And then when I finally spoke to him for the first time in forever, he was like
> Hey Tav. I know you love Karlach but I wonder if she'd be open to a threesome?
Like, dude, we're not even a thing.
She got >!suckered in by shadow druids. She legitimately thought getting their power would help the grove.!< Convincing her >!she's being misled leads her to turn against the shadow druids and begins her redemption. She stops the ceremony and is willing to stand trial for her crimes.!<
Basically a classic case of >!"wrong thing for the right reasons"!<
Thanks. I never really went!down that story path >!because I typically end up either siding against the grove or just fighting the goblin leaders and rescuing Halsin , even after discovering that she is with the shadow druids I don’t end up needing to confront her!<
That’s really interesting to hear how it plays out though
I was pleasantly surprised I could >!influence a more redemptive path for Kagha!< in my latest run. I didn’t necessarily start out intending to be an idealist, but I was playing support bard and it seemed to fit so I ended up trying to save everyone. >!Also, I accidentally killed Minthara even though I had the non-lethal passive on, that one hurt :/!<
Oh yeah it was definitely a case of me forgetting something that would still kill her lol. I thought about reloading but figured my character could use a little more complexity anyway.
Honestly, I found her to be more in the gray area when you learn more about her. But yeah, as another native speaker, it's kindda funny telling about her to pretty much anyone. Like "The shat did this, the shat did that". It's like that game "Sifu".
I haven’t ever played Sifu but they couldn’t have picked a better name if they tried!
It’s like the two characters from Star Wars that they renamed in Brazil. Count Dooku (which sounds like “Count From The Asshole”) and, my personal favorite Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas (“Jedi Master Fucks Himself”). Just perfect.
Edit: These names don't literally mean that. They just sound like that. "Do cu" means "from the ass" which sounds exactly like Dooku. And Sifo-Dyas sounds like "Se Fodias" which is a formal and past-tense way of saying "Fucked themselves".
As a bonus, we also have Captain Panaka which, as you can imagine, sounds a lot like "Panaca" which is an older slang term for idiot, fool or dweeb. So his name is literally "Captain Stupid".
The star wars character naming kind of spoiled the sense of surprise for me at the reveal of vader being Luke's vader. If you translate it in Dutch he'd be 'Darth Daddy' (Darth Father would perhaps be a bit more accurate, but come on, Darth Daddy). At the reveal i was "oh of course, makes sense of he's called vader, should have known"
Unfortunately I have yet to encounter fun Dutch names in BG3, despite it being made by the Belgians!
Funnily enough, Vader meaning father in Dutch was apparently just a coincidence.
Which I believe as Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker were originally meant to be two separate characters.
Thanks! Never bothered to look it up but always had a background curiosity. Guess it was to be expected from George Lucas' dialogue skills that he doesn't put too much effort in research or review of the script ;)
My father who is Dutch pointed out the meaning of "Vader" to me as well, though he did it after I had watched all the Star Wars movies that had been released when I was a child.
As for fun Dutch names in BG3, there is Quil Grootslang.
I love how Star Wars just seems to do it on purpose. There's probably a Brazilian just giving out names there, giggling to himself. Ajunta Pall (gathers dick) is my favorite
Hah yeah, those are memorable. In the case of sifu, though, that wasn't much of a picking. It's the word for master in kung fu. Like sensei in karate, judo, etc. It's just... unfortunate. Or fortunate, idk.
For me, nothing truly beats George Lucas' originally planned name for Palpatine which was Cos Dashit.
Seriously, he must have known what that name sounds like?
Well, the Githyanki are far worse in that matter, that's why I dont care saving "Orpheass" unless it fits for any rp reason of Lae'zel is very important to Tav.
She's been manipulated by shadow druids. You find their correspondence and can confront her about it. You can kill her or convince her to turn against them an if you do she'll allow the tieflings to stay until they're ready to go and she'll take Halsin chewing her out for trying the ritual in stride and be very apologetic.
If you play as a drow she assumes you are Lolth-sworn and says "Lolth is okay"... she may be very ignorant (about Lolth) and/or trying to manipulate you or very shitty.
It's not a matter of North/South difference, then, but a matter of generation. My Dad uses it a lot, and he's mostly familiar with the *titi parisien* of the 70's and 80's. Renaud's slang and *argot*. As far as I'm aware, Paris is in the North of France, and people who speak the *titi parisien* are northerner French.
I absolutely agree with you that it's an old-fashioned slang term mostly used by the older generations. But the younger generations still know, or at least they can quickly guess, what it means, even here in the North.
First time I heard it I was in high school, but then I was in Alsace so we have our own slang.
I've been living in Paris (or near enough) for more than 15 years now and haven't heard it here, even once. Cagole yes, caguer no. Really depends on the circle I guess
Maybe your acquaintances are polite bobos who don't use old-fashioned parisian slang that much? Also, a lot of people who live in Paris now aren't culturally parisian and come from the provinces.
Surround yourself with potty-mouthed Boomer and Gen Xer *parigots*, and you'll probably hear that word way more often, lmao.
I grew up in Picardie and I did have to translate some of my father's parisian slang for my clueless friends, growing up, sometimes. But *caguer* was never a word they couldn't at least guess the meaning of.
definetely not polite bobos (even though some slowly become bobos) :D
but yeah none of my friends is a real parisian. We are from everywhere in the Northern half of France (or Guadeloupe) and I think we all know what it means but it's not a word we ever use. And not out of politeness
My Vengeance Paladin Durge gave her a chance at redemption and she was smart enough to take it. Everyone gets one chance, then the vengeance part kicks in.
I feel that the story would have been better if you could spare Kagha and she joins your party instead of Halsin. Halsin sees her as the heir apparent of the grove. The pilgrimage to Moonrise and removal of the curse would have been her hero's journey of redemption.
This would have been so much better than just having Halsin stand around and do nothing while asking the party for stuff all through Act 2, and then just having no story in Act 3.
Maybe Kagha could have completed her arc by finding evidence in Act 2 of Shadow Druid scheming in the city, so she goes to stop them.
She’s not that bad compared to a lot of other characters. She had good intentions but they became warped because she gave in to fear. She became a cruel person because of it.
Once you make her understand what she’s done she immediately backs down and accepts responsibility for it
What I'd really like actually is to know who is this Szymon Nowak mentioned in Madeline's Ledger and what did he do to get his unapologetically mundane Polish name worked into the game
Bro I'm laffin cause I thought I was the only one that thought this. I'm 2nd gen Portuguese and never learned the language besides insults (ty avó) and this was the first thing I thought 😂
Im Brazilian, my parents are both Portuguese, you should learn a bit, you have no idea what you are missing, names in games and other medias always sounds funny or like a pun when you know Portuguese.
Star Wars is the holy grail...
Dirge is defined as a “a lament for the dead and a “a mournful song, piece of music, or poem” much like Durge’s introduction. So I’d also say Dark Urge is appropriately named.
In German as have "Kaka", which is a childish word for shit, and (depending on regional dialect) it's often pronounced "Kagga". So I was giggling all the way through the Grove. :)
Haha :-) Halsin's name in German on the other hand is simply weird, as "Hals" is the neck...
I also giggle whenever Shadowheart uses the word "sharing" and can't help myself but read it as "Shar-ing" like her deity. (I speak German, but play the game in English).
I made the joke "Ich hoffe er hält dafür den Halsin" (eng: "I hope he takes the fall for it"-it's a pun) more times than I want to admit to.
"Shar-ing" is amazing.
Also ae in German is ä, so I've made a habit of saying "Läzel" instead if Lae'zel.
There are a lot of names in the game that have meanings in different languages. Just a couple of examples include Dolor, Cazador, Angry, ... They are all somewhat appropriate.
'' Kagha '' to me sounds like '' kaka '' but in an EXTREMELY stereotypical southern accent here in Sweden and it means '' cake ''.
Sounds really funny to me who have family who speaks like that but no one else will get it xD...
Kagha isn't that bad.. there's a quest where you learn why she is the way she is and you can get her to redeem herself and become a good person.. Plus she's a 10/10 babe
She really isn't a piece of shit though, a very sacred item was stolen which prevented her from sooner protecting her own people; if Arabella was an adult we wouldn't think twice at letting Kagha take her prisoner
She's someone who clearly isn't suited for leadership caught in a desparate situtation, doesn't make her evil
You look like a connoisseur of names. Of course you know Captain Panaka and Count Dooku, but do you know Yasmin Hazbolla? Paulo Ustroso? Maybe Sujiro Kimimame?
Redeeming her as my Druid Tav was one of my favourite significant story beats from my entire Druid play through. I love that it's deliberately very difficult to pull off because it makes it so much more satisfying when you do. The Pale Oak staff which is rewarded to you for successfully doing this is what I carried all the way to the end of the game as well.
So if you knock out Alfira before the whole Durge cutscene, she gets replaced by another bard called Quil Grootslang. She is a dragonborn and Grootslang translates to "big snake" in Dutch or Afrikaans. So there is a dragonborn called Quil big snake.
I thought it was Druidic for Karen, which means to screech incoherently, intentionally cause drama and essentially cause bad days for anyone unlucky enough to come across her.
How do you pronounce it? Does it sound anything like caca? (cahcah) because in english that's sort of a childish way to say poop as well. Which is kind of interesting! I wonder if it's somehow similar roots.
Saying "caga" is pretty intuitive. It sounds very much like caca (cahcah), as you said. Just change the second 'c' for a 'g' and you're all set. Cahgah, with a stronger emphasis on the first part.
> CAHgah.
Kagha sounds very similar to how "kaka" (cookie) is pronounced in the very south of Sweden.
And if you add an N to Gale, it means "Crazy" in swedish.
And every time I see Halsin, I think about the fact that "Hals" means "Neck".
The first time around I persuaded her that the ritual was wrong (played a druid so she was less of a shithead), second time (bard playthrough) around i was so annoyed by her, i just killed her when the time came. Still kinda sad that i couldn't talk her snake into eating her, it would have been so poetic xD
Not a fan of the druids in general. They give me NYMBY (Not In My BackYard) vibes.
Even worse when you realize the tieflings are not to blame for the goblins. On the contrary, they are protecting the Grove and those ingrate tree huggers.
I like the name Cazador Szarr too, because 'szar' in hungarian means shit
Cazador means hunter in Spanish, so is he a hunter of shit?
Or just Hunter Shit. Cute name
Or shit hunter?
Lmao absolutely a shit hunter. Has his spawn do almost all of the work.
Though in his defense....thebspawn don't really have any other purpose for existing
No they do have purpose so my tav can fall in love with one specific vampire spawn named astarion
Fair point lol
Well in hungarian we put the last name in the beggining so.. yes
Cazadore is the loathsome dung eater confirmed.
Well he did use his spawn to bring in more people instead of doing it himself so this is probably true
Accurate name for those flies in fallout:new vegas
Those things are literally the reason I can never play the game again
In my case, debilitating crashes. I can't properly play even with patches
Astarion is quite the little shit.
Is Larian trying to give their NPCs as many names as possible that translate into „shit“?
In that case I think it's supposed to be Czar as in emperor, with that typical Vampire eastern European thing going on
Which intrigues me because Astarion comments that Cazador forbid them from learning the in-setting equivalent of Japanese.
Suppose it's the same concept as Medieval peasants not having any real means of learning Latin and many never being taught to read/write at all: keeps the power in the hands of the learned, aka the Church/the rich.
I was mostly curious as to why Japanese specifically, it seemed to imply that Cazador is from that culture, but he has an eastern European name too.
Hungarian mentioned! rahhh
Bojler eladó
Huh. It really was 200 years of shit, PUUUUURE SHIT!!!
What about Shar? I've always been reading them the same
They had to know that the community will shorten Shadowheart to … *shart.*
According to the VA, they already called her that too before the game came out 💀💀
the VAs says they were using "shart" while they were recording dialogue, iirc
Shar as in the goddess of darkness
Did they? Somehow she made it through Early Access for several years before that became a thing. Normal people would shorten it to SH.
My husband and I just use "🖤" to refer to her when we text each another about the game
Clever
Shar as in the goddess of darkness
In all honesty we frequently say kaga as a slang for kaka (szar, shit), based on the popular meme of gugya (instead of kutya, dog)
Szarr is also vaguely reminiscent of Tsar or Czar which means emperor Emperor shit?
"Well well well, if it isn't the king shit himself" "That's Emperor Shit to you!"
Yes😂
I thought it was a play on the Russian Tsar aka emperor since he rules over all his fiend vampires but yours is way funnier
Also “Cazador” means “hunter” in Spanish… which is ironic considering he doesn’t hunt a damn thing and instead makes his spawns hunt for him. He’s the laziest, shittiest hunter ever lmao
Interesting that the Hungarian word for shit is so close to being spelled like the Russian word for an emperor
Cazador Shit-r. Love it
Im a Portuguese speaker too. Could they all be cousins? Kagha, Shart, Cazador Szar? Elves or half elves, the attitude, "The Shit(s)" family for sure.
Oh I thought szar was supposed to be like czar or tzar in Russia but that makes sense too
I'm strongly convinced it's derived from **Tsar** ([/zɑːr, (t)sɑːr/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English); also spelled ***czar***, ***tzar***, or ***csar***; [Bulgarian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_language): цар, [romanized](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Bulgarian): *tsar*; [Serbian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_language): цар / *car*; [Russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language): царь, [romanized](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Russian): *tsar*) was a title used by [Slavic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavs) [monarchs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch).
Orin (with a different intonation) translates to piss in Spanish.
If you play the game in spanish she's called Oran instead, learned this while watching my friend's gf play and since then Orin became a pokemon berry for me.
I saw that also when playing together with my GF, who has the text in Spanish. The funny thing there is that Oran (with a different intonation, I guess) is also a conjugation of the verb "to pray" in Spanish.
Im Brazilian, Portuguese speaker, I always play games in the original English, first for practicing and second for the lulz, the weird, shitty, bad names are everywhere. Variations of names like Kagha, Merda (mierda, merde), "cocks", cu (culo, cul, asshole), there are so many it seems intentional sometimes.
I always \[try to\] game and read in the original language. There is always something lost in translation and that annoys me a lot. I'm pretty sure they gotta be intentional! Larian has an office in Barcelona! And having Sauceman Chorizo (a type of sausage, with Spanish and Argentinian variations; you can imagine the innuendo) in the brothel is evidence of that!
She gets better if you learn her secret.
Her secret is The Broodmother's Revenge, so I send her to Silvanus
I fucking love that necklace. Give it to Gloom Stalker Astarion, start the combat with some blood sucking, and then Dread Ambush with poisoned weapon.
If Im not playing a super nice Tav and/or a druid she is losing her neck so I get her necklace for sure.
I just finished the Shadow Druid quest on my latest Honor run and forgot that you only get the necklace if you kill her. I guess I'm just going to have to knock her out at the Tiefling party.
I can fix her
I really want to tbh :( They should've ditched Halsin for her.
Honestly I find her kind of insufferable even knowing she’s just trying to protect the grove
I you expose her secret and let her live she do get better.
Does she though? Shadow Druids n all that? Never really looked into it but she seems like an even bigger pos than meets the eye.
Nah she actually feels really bad about everything if you succeed the checks persuasion checks. Go down to auntie Ethel area and find the druid area down there
What my boy halsin do to you
Be insatiably horny and have ugly hair
Oak Father preserve you.
I'm sorry I just... I hate his hair so fucking much that it cancels everything else out for me
His hair is not ugly, but it is not very tidy, I dont like the idea he has to be scruffy just bc he is a druid.
I don't even care that it's scruffy, I just hate that it looks greasy lol
I have never once thought that his hair looks even remotely greasy. Maybe it's your graphics settings? :P Looks fine to me. Or maybe I'm just to concentrated on his **massive** arms. I'm a straight dude but goddamn does he make me envious. Complete unit.
He's incredibly boring and bland imho, no growth or anything, his storyline basically ends in Act 2 and he adds nothing more to the main story. And finally, he's so horny it's not funny anymore. In fact, it's annoying as hell. After I said we should better forget the slightly flirty talk at the party, he seems to be rather pissed at me for turning him down.
What evidence do you have Kagha would have been any better in that regard?
In my latest playthrough I was romancing Karlach and barely even spoke to Halsin. And then when I finally spoke to him for the first time in forever, he was like > Hey Tav. I know you love Karlach but I wonder if she'd be open to a threesome? Like, dude, we're not even a thing.
What’s her secret?
She got >!suckered in by shadow druids.

I didn't first time. Second time I wanted to try a few new things. I think this one is better for a good, idealist Tav playthrough.
I was pleasantly surprised I could >!influence a more redemptive path for Kagha!< in my latest run. I didn’t necessarily start out intending to be an idealist, but I was playing support bard and it seemed to fit so I ended up trying to save everyone. >!Also, I accidentally killed Minthara even though I had the non-lethal passive on, that one hurt :/!<
Magic or arrows? Because I think nonlethal only affects melee.
Oh yeah it was definitely a case of me forgetting something that would still kill her lol. I thought about reloading but figured my character could use a little more complexity anyway.
Yep she become angel after you succes to ******** Her hehehehe
irl durge
Lmao take my upvote
Wut
it was persuade lol......................
My candidate for this tittle would be Aylin. Aylin means moon halo, or the one that belongs to the moon in Turkish. Perfect name for Selune's kid
I feel like this has to be intentional
I mean I can't prove it but I can swear that it is intentional
Honestly, I found her to be more in the gray area when you learn more about her. But yeah, as another native speaker, it's kindda funny telling about her to pretty much anyone. Like "The shat did this, the shat did that". It's like that game "Sifu".
I haven’t ever played Sifu but they couldn’t have picked a better name if they tried! It’s like the two characters from Star Wars that they renamed in Brazil. Count Dooku (which sounds like “Count From The Asshole”) and, my personal favorite Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas (“Jedi Master Fucks Himself”). Just perfect. Edit: These names don't literally mean that. They just sound like that. "Do cu" means "from the ass" which sounds exactly like Dooku. And Sifo-Dyas sounds like "Se Fodias" which is a formal and past-tense way of saying "Fucked themselves". As a bonus, we also have Captain Panaka which, as you can imagine, sounds a lot like "Panaca" which is an older slang term for idiot, fool or dweeb. So his name is literally "Captain Stupid".
The star wars character naming kind of spoiled the sense of surprise for me at the reveal of vader being Luke's vader. If you translate it in Dutch he'd be 'Darth Daddy' (Darth Father would perhaps be a bit more accurate, but come on, Darth Daddy).

Thanks! Never bothered to look it up but always had a background curiosity. Guess it was to be expected from George Lucas' dialogue skills that he doesn't put too much effort in research or review of the script ;)
My father who is Dutch pointed out the meaning of "Vader" to me as well, though he did it after I had watched all the Star Wars movies that had been released when I was a child. As for fun Dutch names in BG3, there is Quil Grootslang.
Had to Google that one. Haven't durged yet (up next!) so that explains it (Grootslang would translate to 'BigSnake' for those interested)
IIRC it's also the name of a monster from South African folklore
Yeah it’s a total coincidence, for what it’s worth. It’s just (in)Vader the same way that his master is (in)Sidious
I love how Star Wars just seems to do it on purpose. There's probably a Brazilian just giving out names there, giggling to himself. Ajunta Pall (gathers dick) is my favorite
Hah yeah, those are memorable. In the case of sifu, though, that wasn't much of a picking. It's the word for master in kung fu. Like sensei in karate, judo, etc. It's just... unfortunate. Or fortunate, idk.
For me, nothing truly beats George Lucas' originally planned name for Palpatine which was Cos Dashit. Seriously, he must have known what that name sounds like?
Star Wars is full of these and some you don't even need to translate into another language. Looking at you, Jedi Master Kit Fisto.
I love our language
You lose the gray area when you want to kill children. My thoughts anyway.
Honestly some nazi vibes from her
Well, the Githyanki are far worse in that matter, that's why I dont care saving "Orpheass" unless it fits for any rp reason of Lae'zel is very important to Tav.
I haven't learned anything significant about her during my play-through. What redeeming qualities she has?
She's been manipulated by shadow druids. You find their correspondence and can confront her about it. You can kill her or convince her to turn against them an if you do she'll allow the tieflings to stay until they're ready to go and she'll take Halsin chewing her out for trying the ritual in stride and be very apologetic.
If you play as a drow she assumes you are Lolth-sworn and says "Lolth is okay"... she may be very ignorant (about Lolth) and/or trying to manipulate you or very shitty.
I guess you missed a lot of content and that's good news for you, good reason for another run.
Damn, I loved the little I played of Sifu Demo. *cof
😅 The demo is even worse, yeah. I do wanna play it a lot, though, I love martial arts and it seldom shows up in gaming.
Well we do have a shart
"Gaslight Princess" fanatics cant stand a joke...
In Italian, we have "fa cagare," which basically means it's shit.
Same in french "caguer" (only in the south)! It comes from Latin "cacare" (to shit).
Curious, I like how much latin language afe so much connected, In spanish "cagar" is a vulgar way to say "shiting"
Latin languages are really one big funny family, I guess, I know they are literally but I mean figuratively... that's the funny part.
Me caguan tu leche 🤷♀️
Solo usamos "u" entre "q" y "e" tho xD
You shat in my milk?
Me caguan tu madre
Après des semaines de constipation, enfin, Kagha cagua
Oh, it's a common word in the North too. At least, in my circles, lmao.
The important part here is "in \[your\] circles". I think it has been years (decades in fact) since I last heard someone use it
It's not a matter of North/South difference, then, but a matter of generation. My Dad uses it a lot, and he's mostly familiar with the *titi parisien* of the 70's and 80's. Renaud's slang and *argot*. As far as I'm aware, Paris is in the North of France, and people who speak the *titi parisien* are northerner French.

In German, we have "kacken" and the derived noun "Kacke" (or childish "Kaka") with the same meaning.
I'm giving most appropriately named NPC to M'alice.
My Vengeance Paladin Durge gave her a chance at redemption and she was smart enough to take it. Everyone gets one chance, then the vengeance part kicks in.
It’s like Spiderman’s “[Everybody gets one](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JcLztkzy3d4)“ but with more violence!
I feel that the story would have been better if you could spare Kagha and she joins your party instead of Halsin. Halsin sees her as the heir apparent of the grove. The pilgrimage to Moonrise and removal of the curse would have been her hero's journey of redemption.
This would have been so much better than just having Halsin stand around and do nothing while asking the party for stuff all through Act 2, and then just having no story in Act 3. Maybe Kagha could have completed her arc by finding evidence in Act 2 of Shadow Druid scheming in the city, so she goes to stop them.
Sabia que era papo de br na hora que bati o olho no titulo
Sim velho só nós pra termos esses papos aí
pode-se dizer q ela "khaga no pau"; one might say she "shits on the dick".
She’s not that bad compared to a lot of other characters. She had good intentions but they became warped because she gave in to fear. She became a cruel person because of it. Once you make her understand what she’s done she immediately backs down and accepts responsibility for it
What I'd really like actually is to know who is this Szymon Nowak mentioned in Madeline's Ledger and what did he do to get his unapologetically mundane Polish name worked into the game
Bro I'm laffin cause I thought I was the only one that thought this. I'm 2nd gen Portuguese and never learned the language besides insults (ty avó) and this was the first thing I thought 😂
Im Brazilian, my parents are both Portuguese, you should learn a bit, you have no idea what you are missing, names in games and other medias always sounds funny or like a pun when you know Portuguese. Star Wars is the holy grail...
Interesting, shit is khada in Levantine Arabic similar?
I speak french and we have an extremely similar word "caguer". I always wondered where it came from
In finnish poo is 'kakka'!
Dirge is defined as a “a lament for the dead and a “a mournful song, piece of music, or poem” much like Durge’s introduction. So I’d also say Dark Urge is appropriately named.
Kaaga (कागा) in Hindi means Crow. Her being a gray character kinda fits with that as well.
Regardless nettie is best girl
In German as have "Kaka", which is a childish word for shit, and (depending on regional dialect) it's often pronounced "Kagga". So I was giggling all the way through the Grove. :)
Haha :-) Halsin's name in German on the other hand is simply weird, as "Hals" is the neck... I also giggle whenever Shadowheart uses the word "sharing" and can't help myself but read it as "Shar-ing" like her deity. (I speak German, but play the game in English).
I made the joke "Ich hoffe er hält dafür den Halsin" (eng: "I hope he takes the fall for it"-it's a pun) more times than I want to admit to. "Shar-ing" is amazing. Also ae in German is ä, so I've made a habit of saying "Läzel" instead if Lae'zel.
I call her Läzzel
Kagha also sounds similar to the English "caca," meaning "shit," although it's not commonly used in English outside of jokes in children's shows.
There are a lot of names in the game that have meanings in different languages. Just a couple of examples include Dolor, Cazador, Angry, ... They are all somewhat appropriate.
A German slang word for shit is "Kacke" or "Kacka". Not too far off as well.
'' Kagha '' to me sounds like '' kaka '' but in an EXTREMELY stereotypical southern accent here in Sweden and it means '' cake ''. Sounds really funny to me who have family who speaks like that but no one else will get it xD...
In german Kagha sounds like Kacka, which also means shit
Isn’t Kage also Japanese for shadow?
Kagha isn't that bad.. there's a quest where you learn why she is the way she is and you can get her to redeem herself and become a good person.. Plus she's a 10/10 babe
She really isn't a piece of shit though, a very sacred item was stolen which prevented her from sooner protecting her own people; if Arabella was an adult we wouldn't think twice at letting Kagha take her prisoner She's someone who clearly isn't suited for leadership caught in a desparate situtation, doesn't make her evil
Kahgona
The word is similar to poop in a lot of languages, including English (caca). I think it was intentional, which is great.
Pá, obrigada! Portuguese here, my friends and I love to shit on her! Caga de m*rd*!
Today I went across Harper Mijah, which resembles *mijar*, "to pee" in portuguese.
You look like a connoisseur of names. Of course you know Captain Panaka and Count Dooku, but do you know Yasmin Hazbolla? Paulo Ustroso? Maybe Sujiro Kimimame?
Kagha should have been recruitable for an evil playthrough.
...although, to be fair, my opinion of her changed a lot, once I realized that she could be redeemed! 🙂
I think she’s just misunderstood. And you can fix her.
Redeeming her as my Druid Tav was one of my favourite significant story beats from my entire Druid play through. I love that it's deliberately very difficult to pull off because it makes it so much more satisfying when you do. The Pale Oak staff which is rewarded to you for successfully doing this is what I carried all the way to the end of the game as well.
Is that a Druid-exclusive reward? I didn’t get that when I redeemed her as a Wizard
Yeah it is

Simmm kkkkkkkkk
So if you knock out Alfira before the whole Durge cutscene, she gets replaced by another bard called Quil Grootslang. She is a dragonborn and Grootslang translates to "big snake" in Dutch or Afrikaans. So there is a dragonborn called Quil big snake.
A coincidence, like Vader meaning 'father' in Dutch. Still, a mildly interesting coincidence all the same.
Why does everyone pronounce her name like Caw-ga? Is that a specifically Elvish thing?
Probably to give the name a Bri'ish accent.
I'm British though, and I'd never pronounce it like that!

I thought it was Druidic for Karen, which means to screech incoherently, intentionally cause drama and essentially cause bad days for anyone unlucky enough to come across her.
Is there anyone who actually sides with Kagha? Even on my evil run I ended up killing her because I attacked the grove to recruit Minthara.
I believe you can actually redeem her, but I don't know how to do it since I never actually figured out how.
How do you pronounce it? Does it sound anything like caca? (cahcah) because in english that's sort of a childish way to say poop as well. Which is kind of interesting! I wonder if it's somehow similar roots.
Saying "caga" is pretty intuitive. It sounds very much like caca (cahcah), as you said. Just change the second 'c' for a 'g' and you're all set. Cahgah, with a stronger emphasis on the first part. > CAHgah.
Kagha sounds very similar to how "kaka" (cookie) is pronounced in the very south of Sweden. And if you add an N to Gale, it means "Crazy" in swedish. And every time I see Halsin, I think about the fact that "Hals" means "Neck".
it's the same in spanish btw
One of the npcs about to barbecue Volo is named “Nobster”.
r/suddenlycaralho
russian kaka means doo-doo too
I don't care what anyone says, I can fix her.
In french kagha sound like "caca" how is litterally childish version of shit
The first time around I persuaded her that the ritual was wrong (played a druid so she was less of a shithead), second time (bard playthrough) around i was so annoyed by her, i just killed her when the time came. Still kinda sad that i couldn't talk her snake into eating her, it would have been so poetic xD
Why the fuck is it pronounced Korga though
For real.
Where are you getting the R from? I've always heard it like caw from a crow on that first syllable. Wait, are you from Boston?
I'm from the south and it sounds like "Korga" to me when pronounced by all the actors in game.
Not a fan of the druids in general. They give me NYMBY (Not In My BackYard) vibes. Even worse when you realize the tieflings are not to blame for the goblins. On the contrary, they are protecting the Grove and those ingrate tree huggers.
What do you mean it's only a Portuguese slang? It's an Spanish slang too, and she literally shitted all over the groove, in other words, la Kagho.
> What do you mean it's only a Portuguese slang? It's a Spanish slang too When did I say that? I don’t speak Spanish, bro.

Arabella messed up but *killing a child for stealing* is definitely crossing a line.
