Difficulty Level Naming

A very good idea!
"Exiled" as the last one is really great so playing through to that difficulty will be really a path to an exile.
But 2 are nouns and the other two are not.
Maybe:
Wanderer > Outcast > Forsaken > Exile

That might work...

Whatever the names are, the final level needs to sound the coolest/ most hardcore...

Savage
Vicious
Unyielding
Merciless
Wicked

I love the "Wanderer > Outcast > Forsaken > Exile" idea.

"Don't scare me!"
"I'm not afraid"
"Come get some!"
"I rule!"

Deathwish

All games should follow the Deus Ex:HR convention of difficulties.

No glasses
Glasses
Sunglasses
Sunglasses at night

Okay, so not all games.

Get Friends! haha...

Hard --> Cruel --> Ruthless --> ???

Suicidal
Masochistic
Depraved
Savage
Hopeless
Terror

how about.. hmm.. lemme see here.. 4 modes..

-Noob
-Casual
-Elite
-Pro

or if your lookin for a more serious approach..

-Henchmen (easy)
-Adventurer (medium)
-Champion (hard)
-Hero (extreme)

but if your looking for 1 last word to describe the fourth difficulty mode then I would go with ...

hard-->cruel-->ruthless-->sadistic

Neophyte (first play through/easy)
Veteran (second run/nightmare)
Hero (3rd play/hell/bread and butter for late game)

Hardcore difficulty:
Challenger
Survivor
Legend

My thinking is that aside from being a description of difficulty it would also be a title or badge of honor. You reach Hell mode in hardcore, it would be a legendary act, etc
