[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9384665, member: 18"] Hahaha fair enough. I'm okay with or without a The. But yes for consistency it should have just been Veilguard. It's not Call of Duty IIII levels of annoying though! Now that's truly ghastly. The only thing more ghastly was people who knew literally nothing about Latin numerals 10 minutes earlier finding out the factoid that Romans occasionally used IIII instead of IV (they also frequently spelled inconsistently and did bad grammar, because they're humans!) then loudly and ignorantly insisting that it's thus "fine". No. Either use Roman numerals or don't! Just because Decimus in 200 BC couldn't write proper doesn't mean you get to copy him! If he jumped off an aqueduct, would you? To be totally fair the Romans very occasionally used it when they weren't using spaces to avoid confusion where IV would have looked like part of a word, but that that excuse also doesn't apply!
