Mickey Mouse Invades Norrath?
I was adventuring in Everquest II, namely in the dungeon of Stormhold. Stormhold is a spooky, mysterious abandoned fort. So, as my group slowly advances through the forbidden halls, a skeleton arises to challenge us!
The skeleton lets out a fearsome battlecry! Err, what? No, the skeleton does not let out a fearsome battlecry, quite the opposite, in fact. The skeleton says in a Mickey Mouse voice, “Dying didn’t feel good the first time!” I doubt anybody would be fearsomely trembling due to that.
I thought skeletons were supposed to be scary? For me, when I’m adventuring in an inheritably dangerous, scary place, when I hear the re-incarnation of Mickey Mouse in the form of a skeleton, how can that not break the atmosphere? Why on earth (or Norrath, for that matter) do my skeletons sound like Mickey Mouse filled with helium?
Stormhold is one of my favorite zones. Unfortunately, since I play on a PVP server, it is almost impossible for me to hunt there. The Freeporters constantly gank there.
I’ve never tried to or desired to play on a PvP server. However, it may be an interesting experience to try it, though. I have one more character slot left, after all–so eh, what the heck, it’s worth a try, I suppose!
