Talk:Unwilling

Name

Who called those monsters "The Unwilling"? In the february 2016 issue of Game Informer they are just called possessed.--Tetzlaff (talk) 11:18, 7 January 2016 (CST)

They were labeled as such in the press release materials given out by Bethesda in the wake of the E3 presentation. If their canonical name turns out to be different, this article will be renamed at that time. It will not be moved in response to unofficial writings in the game press though, since those may only be the authors' speculations or extrapolations. --Quasar (talk) 20:31, 10 January 2016 (CST)

Thanks for the explanation. I had the impression the name "The Unwilling" was a fan invention, but obviously I was wrong.--Tetzlaff (talk) 14:13, 11 January 2016 (CST)

I've seen this screenshot getting posted. I guess they went with The Possessed in the end? Note how "The" is capitalized as well. Unless The Unwilling are a different sort of zombies and there's both them and The Possessed, but I doubt it. --Gez (talk) 12:07, 7 February 2016 (CST)

I am hoping for an official monster roster to come out at some point before we start renaming stuff but I may have to accept that it isn't going to happen before the game gets released. --Quasar (talk) 12:26, 7 February 2016 (CST)

Interestingly in the leaked strings info from the alpha, both names are still referenced, so things may not be as simple as they seem. Perhaps there will be some differences between the two as classes of zombie-like monsters. --Quasar (talk) 00:26, 17 February 2016 (CST)
