Yeah honestly, naming things after historical/mythological things is grade school level "symbolism". It's what you do when you don't have any interesting ideas but still want people to think you're well read. Bonus points if the references you're making are so mainstream that you don't even have to actually BE well read to know them. This is why every lovely movie where the hero sacrifices themselves at the end has really blatant cross/Jesus imagery. It's not cliche if it's SYMBOLISM

CommissarMega posted:I refuse to believe this until proof is provided It's actually in some of the various guard conversations you can overhear. It's dumb but they do at least point it out/justify it rather than just leaving it there as a blatantly wrong thing. I can totally imagine this having been recycled from a level concept that originally would have been in the UK and thus wouldn't have needed the extra justification. When they set it in the US, they probably felt a judge's robe on its own would have been kind of boring as a unique/all-access costume. Although it does kind of raise the question about why the guards don't see through the disguise - if it WAS just some "generic judge" outfit, it would be still be stretching belief but hey, maybe it's a bigger courthouse than it looks and there's a lot of judges. But with the British wig thing it's now a costume of a SPECIFIC GUY that the guards would definitely recognize because they know about this one weird thing he does. Although it's not the only costume in Absolution with that problem. At least in 2016 when you do disguise yourself as someone specific, people who know that person well actually WILL see through the disguise, or it's Helmut Kruger where they make a point of how he looks exactly like 47.
