Lich King ?

That picture on the ad showing one of these games for sale reminds me so much of the Lich King. Were they honestly going for this look to get people to consider playing it ? :P

The Fisher King came long before Blizzard ever wrote Arthas. Whether or not the design staff chose to try and mimic something that Blizzard did is up for debate, but the concept was established long before Blizzard was around.

There is a lich king in this game. I think it is in tribute, or could be that fantasy genre has only so many names for undead wizards.

Also in the second game William doesn't look like a good guy. His armor looks kinda threatening. He reminds me of The Evil King type of villian. If I saw him on some pictures without any backstory I would think that this is the main villian.
