: I always figured Durandal just liked the history attached to the name
: Durandana; so he always referenced Charlemange and Roland to give himself
: some history (Blade Runner, False Memories anyone?). Make him feel more
: alive.
: And, I'm sure the fact that Durandana could cut through any armor or shield
: was great for the bugger's ego.
: It's like people- you always wonder where your name came from, or who you
: were named after... Durandal did the same thing.
but you've got to figure WHY they (bungie) called him Durandal
it's not like it was an accident
they probably had some symbolic meaning in mind
