Which unoriginal and out-of-place Warden characters will we see the most?

Any time a new MMO comes out, or a new class, there is a huge population that has always wanted to play some character they read about or saw in the movies, that then makes those characters. With the Warden, I can think of three main ones that come to mind immediately, and I am certain I missed more. Which ones do you guys think will show up the most (either spelled correctly, or some derivative of the name):

    Why does it matter?

    Must everything have a deep-thoughts and serious reason? Or can people just have fun and talk? I am not bashing on people who do these things, just curious whether we will see a big influx of characters modeled after famous characters from movies or books. If you have an issue with that, by all means, move along. If you wish to take part, then please do.

    You will see Wardens named Warden, War-mai-den, Peaceden, Give-peace-a-chance and similar. Not to mention various bear names.
    Also, Wardens will ride bears, and have non combat bear cubs as pets.

    Bosmer ranged wardens don't seem out of place...


    And there are already a bunch of players with variants of lotr names like "Legolas" and popular characters like "Link" and "Drizzt".

    We'll see more people with ridiculous accents in their names in order to get these already commonly used, uncreative names.

    Well, they aren't original, since someone else created them lol, and they are part of the lore from completely different settings, so... they ARE out of place... how is telling the truth biased? O.o

    Agreed. OP is just bashing RPers that just wanna make their own interpretation of their favorite characters. Who care about originality? Almost all lore and characters, like Drizzt, are inspired by other things so technically they are unoriginal, including OP's username. Nothing wrong with that...

    Guess what? Originality is uncommon. This is why an innovative writer, or artist, or thinker, is so celebrated and well-known. If "The Lord of the Rings" read like any of the thousands of copycat books that came after it, then no one would have ever heard of it, or of J.R.R. Tolkien. If "Star Trek" hadn't shown people new ideas and concepts, it wouldn't have spawned an entire industry of television, movies, novels, and toys centered around it for over 50 years. If originality were common, we wouldn't have anything new and creative in any of the arts, from da Vinci to van Gogh, Shakespeare to Stan Lee to Neil Gaiman, from Bach to Bowie, the Beatles, and James Brown, from Capra to Spielberg to Nolan. Creativity and originality are simply rare.

    And if originality were common, there wouldn't be such a huge sh!tpile of bad music, books, and movies, bad videogames, and so forth.

    So lower your expectations, because you just aren't going to find much true originality in this or any group of humans.

    When I first saw the bear companion I straightaway thought we'd be seeing a lot of small female wardens with names on the theme of Lyra Belacqua.

    Now I've seen the spell FX I'm sure we'll also be seeing some big, inked and hairy male Wardens wearing wedding dresses with names on the theme of Titania.

    I say Bosmer

    The ones that will fit the most are :

    Dunmer
    Nords
    Orcs

    bosmer will be weird but people will do it because of the "Green pact"

    As for your other option:

    Well I had to vote other because we're not going to see Legolas or Drizzt.

    What we will see is Legolassssssss, Drizzzzzt, X Legolas X, Drizzttttt, etc.

    Warden is the most mismatched patchwork identity frustrated ill-fitting class in the game.

    A supposed guardian of nature (aka. druid/ranger) with lots of archetypical flower power and healing and stuff. Yet a skill line dedicated to frost and winter. Sort of like a Nord wizard. Yet with a skill line of animal summoning that's inherently tied to the volcanic island of Vvardenfell. Cliff striders, netches, shalks, fetcherflies ... and a bear? What the hell is this?

    Are you a nord frost mage, are you a bosmer druid thingy, or are you a dunmer animal herder? The Warden cannot even agree with its own schizofrenic self what it's supposed to be.
