Divinity Original Sin 2 German Language Pack Download BETTER
Nichelle Gruger
So I've played some fantasy games and I've recently started playing Divinity original sin. Before this whenever I encountered the word Lich I heard it as if it would rime with "itch", "bitch", "Kitsch" etc.
However, in the Divinity series, it's pronounced in a more Germanic language, (I myself am Dutch so it's more obvious to me how to, but I'm sure this is one of those pronunciations that don't work for non-germanic speakers). The best way I'd describe it is being extremely close to "Lick".
Since you have posted a link to Lich on Wikipedia as a comment to the question, where lich is characterised as "a type of undead creature in fantasy fiction", it would appear that the word is directly taken from the near-obsolete English word lich.
The normal pronunciation is /lɪtʃ/ "litch". But the word is very uncommon, which explains why even native speakers might be uncertain about its pronunciation (just as a number of native speakers only learn the standard pronunciation of words like "albeit" later in their lives, if ever). Who can know why the voice actors in some game like Divinity: Original Sin use some different pronunciation like "lick". There are lots of possible reasons:
In the Wikipedia talk page for the article "Lich", I found one person arguing that "there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that some gamers pronounce the word" as like. I wouldn't attach too much importance to that, though, as there are a number of mispronunciations that may arise in an activity where people mainly encounter unfamiliar words and names in print rather than in speech (see this forum discussion thread: "Okay, that does it. Pronouncing "LICH.") Sometimes a "mispronounciation" becomes so well established that it comes to be accepted as a standard pronunciation of a word (for example, "Wicca" is pronounced /ˈwɪkə/ even though it comes from the Old English word wicca, which is thought to have been pronounced with palatal rather than velar cc, i.e. /ttʃ/). But this doesn't seem to have happened (yet) with /k/-pronunciations of lich: as far as I know, no dictionary records any pronunciation other than the one in -ɪtʃ.
The Wikipedia talk page participant also brings up some information about the etymology of lich and historical variant forms that I think is irrelevant to the way it is pronounced by modern speakers of standard English, but I guess I'll mention it anyway for completeness. The OED says
The University Registrar and the Vice President for Student Affairs are responsible for notifying students annually of their rights under FERPA. The annual notice is to appear in the Boston College Bulletin and in the Boston College Student Guide.
Boston College maintains a large number of records regarding its students in the administration of its educational programs, as well as its housing, athletics, and extracurricular programs. The University also maintains employment and financial records for its own use and to comply with state and federal regulations. Boston College is committed to protecting the privacy interests of its students and to maintaining the confidentiality of student records in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).
Certain personally identifiable information from a student's education record, designated by Boston College as directory information, may be released without the student's prior consent. This information includes name; term, home, local, and electronic mail addresses; telephone listing; date and place of birth; photograph; major field of study; enrollment status; grade level; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; weight and height of members of athletic teams; dates of attendance; school/college of enrollment; anticipated date of graduation; degrees and awards received; the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended; and other similar information.
When a student reaches the age of 18, or attends a postsecondary institution regardless of age, FERPA rights transfer to the student. Guidelines for the disclosure of information to parents are as follows:
Failure to show proof of immunizations within 30 days from the start of classes will result in a block on your registration, and a nonrefundable administrative fee of $90 will be charged to your student account.
Boston College maintains a web page that provides all notices, disclosures, and other information required to be disclosed under the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). This web page is available at bc.edu/content/bc-web/offices/executive-vice-president/notices-disclosures.html. This page includes links to disclosures with the following information:
Each disclosure explains how you may request a paper copy of the information. Alternatively, you may request paper copies of these disclosures by calling the Office of the Executive Vice President (617) 552-3255 or sending a written request to: Boston College, Office of the Executive Vice President, Botolph House, 140 Commonwealth Avenue, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467.
To this end, Boston College has designated its Associate Vice President for Institutional Diversity to coordinate its efforts to prevent discrimination in accordance with this notice and applicable laws. Individuals are welcome to raise any questions regarding this notice and the requirements of state and federal nondiscrimination laws with the Associate Vice President for Institutional Diversity:
Boston College shall permit any student who is a covered individual ( as defined in Section 3679 of the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act) to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which such student provides to Boston College a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 of Title 38 of the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs provides payment for such course of education to Boston College, or (ii) the date that is 90 days after the date on which Boston College certifies for tuition and fees following receipt from the student such certificate of eligibility.
Boston College shall ensure that it will not impose any penalty (including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual (as defined in Section 3679 of the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act) borrow additional funds) on any student who is a covered individual because of such student's inability to meet his or her financial obligations to Boston College due to the delayed disbursement of a payment to be provided by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs under chapter 31 or 33 of Title 38 of the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act.
The University reserves the right to deny access to services or impose additional fees in accordance with University policy on the difference between the amount of the student's financial obligation and the amount of the VA education benefit disbursement if not paid by the student by the required due dates.
The pursuit of knowledge can proceed only when scholars take responsibility and receive credit for their own work. Recognition of individual contributions to knowledge and of the intellectual property of others builds trust within the University and encourages the sharing of ideas that is essential to scholarship. Similarly, the educational process requires that individuals present their own ideas and insights for evaluation, critique, and eventual reformulation. Presentation of others' work as one's own is intellectual dishonesty, and undermines the educational process.
Plagiarism is the act of taking the words, ideas, data, illustrations, or statements of another person or source and presenting them as one's own. This includes using the assistance of artificial intelligence (A.I.) text generators to perform central requirements of an assignment (i.e. reading, synthesizing, interpreting, writing, coding, programming, etc.) without both the explicit permission of the instructor and complete attribution and citation of A.I. assisted components.
Each student is responsible for learning and using proper methods of paraphrasing, quotation, footnoting, and other forms of citation, to ensure that the original author, speaker, illustrator, or source of the material used is clearly acknowledged.
Collusion is defined as assistance or an attempt to assist another student in an act of academic dishonesty. Collusion is distinct from collaborative learning, which may be a valuable component of students' scholarly development. Acceptable levels of collaboration vary in different courses, and students are expected to consult with their instructor if they are uncertain whether their cooperative activities are acceptable.
Students have a responsibility to maintain high standards of academic integrity in their own work and thereby to maintain the integrity of their degree. It is their responsibility to be familiar with, and understand, the University policy on academic integrity.
Students who have serious concern that a faculty member is not living up to his or her responsibility to safeguard and promote academic integrity should speak with the faculty member directly or bring their concern to the attention of the department chairperson or associate dean.
Faculty should be concerned about the impact of their behavior on students. Students are sensitive to messages communicated in informal discussions and in casual faculty remarks about personal decisions and value judgments. Students are perhaps most sensitive to how responsibly faculty members fulfill their obligations to them in the careful preparation of classes, in the serious evaluation of student achievement, and in their genuine interest in and availability to students.
Academic integrity is central to the educational and formative mission of the University. A University-Wide Undergraduate Academic Integrity Committee, made up of Academic Officers from each of the Undergraduate Schools and Colleges, reviews all reports of academic dishonesty. Faculty and students are consulted on an ad-hoc basis depending on the case.
