Stratego89 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 This is why I was shouting no to the name Titania... The community is the one that "made" them choose the name- now everyone is acting like DE chose it themselves from the start and based a theme around it -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upcoming Oberon Prime will take this reference further by being colored red and blue and transforming into a semi truck during Reckoning. Warframes!

SenorClipClop Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 1 hour ago, 360Broscoper said: If anyone has ever read Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," they would know that Titania and Oberon are the king and queen fairies with their marriage under turmoil. Perhaps the devs did that on purpose to make a bit of lore referencing Shakespeare, with both frames being uneasy around each other? It's a bit of a long shot, considering that nobody reads these days. Short answer, yes, it's pretty obvious where the names come from. I think the important thing in naming the frames was the fairy theme, not their namesakes' marriage. But no, I don't believe the frames will exhibit any kind of emotional interaction, since Warframes serve as a neutral proxy for the Tenno and the player.

I don't like the feel the hard sounds of the T's provide when I try to apply the name to a fairy. Also, this is extremely nitpicky and entirely personal but the first three things the name conjures to mind for me is Titanium (element), Titanite (Dark Souls), Titans (Mythology), and only after that does it remind me of Shakespeare. It makes me think of strong, heavy things, which contrasts with the frame's theme. I'm not trying to convince anyone, the decision was already made, I just want my thoughts put out there. Well it does seem rather fitting since 1) It is a Fairy frame 2) She uses metal butterflies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakrana Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 8 hours ago, yual said: So in literature, Oberon suck too? Depends at which point of his mythology you're discussing. In the root of Alberich, he's a powerful sorcerer and fairy king, and guards the Nibelungen but is bested by Siegfried/Sigurd. In French tradition is where Oberon arises as a name, drawing upon Alberich...and it's from here that Shakespeare later draws upon. There's a lot more to the name than Shakespeare's Midsummer night's dream for Oberon. The same is not true however for Titania, as before then the Fairy Queen was unnamed in common mythology. Shakespeare granting one is arguably why it became something of a Stock Name for such characters; there was no competing alternative or even root. Which is somewhat interesting in a manner of how mythologies can be formed and such, but that's perhaps beside the point. This isn't grousing by the way...just observation. Over all, Oberon's got a pretty respectable bit of mythology behind him where he isn't a non-entity by any stretch. Would be nice if the namesake we have could be somewhat better honestly.

Dreddeth Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Actually, Oberon is a reference to the Star Wars character Oberon Kenobi. They didn't even go very far from the source material, since Smite is basically just a rename of the Jedi Mind Trick, and they both even look like old goats.
