Talk:Tyloss Lannister

Tyloss: Reference or not
Okay, this has to be dealt with. That his surname is "Lannister" is, without doubt, a reference to House Lannister, along with the title he bears. That said, I think it's far more iffy to assume he's a reference to Tywin Lannister himself. "A Lannister always pays his debts" is a house saying, not the purview of Tywin in himself. If anything, the name is more a reference to Tytos Lannister (Tyloss/Tytos). I can't see any specific attribute linking him to Tywin, or any other Lannister for that matter.

Keep the link to House Lannister, but I think it's far too iffy and arguably redundant to link to any particular Lannister.--Hawki (talk) 05:02, February 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * I actually believe that the link was to Tywin simply because that (win-loss) sounds like a Blizz-style pun. It's definitely something they would do if they had a choice. It's not guaranteed to be true, but that is believeable. You can't see specific attributes because there are none, but I only orient at the traditional style of references that Blizzard makes like 90% of the time. So I would say we CAN make a note of it with a "possible" remark.


 * (overall, it's similar to the situation with Inquisitor Sebacious: it's a very iffy note that he may be a reference to Inquisitor Sebastian, but that sounds like a reference Blizzard could make, so with a disclaimer of "possibly", I would rather put both than not. They've made references far subtler than those two in the past. World of Warcraft, for instance, is overflowing with them, and it is up to the reader to decide what it's worth)


 * Either way, as I said, anonymous edits to these page on this topic will be canceled from now on, so if you have anything to add, gentlemen, please do so here, in the Talk page.Pryamus (talk) 07:57, February 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * How was my edit anonymous?! Also, as you said, there is nothing "probably" about it. In the show it's TyWIN Lannister, in D3 it's TyLOSS Lannister. You really can't get any more obvious with a pun. It's stupid not to include it, because it's an undocumented easter egg. Well, it would be, if the page wouldn't read "probably", and it would explain the origin of the pun, because it's not simply a reference to Tysomtehingsomething Lannister, it is specifically the pun with win-loss. You have to be real dense not to understand this. Anyway do what you want, I'm pissed and out *ragequits* Yoyolyoness (talk) 14:34, September 27, 2017 (UTC)

 * Unless we have a source from someone who worked on the game saying what exactly they intended, we cannot assume it with absolute certainty. All pop culture references without sources must include a word like "possible" or, in the case of a reference we are super sure about, maybe even "probably."
