Risen Quotes - What do they mean?
Personally, I find "Curse your eyes" more confusing than any of those.
"It begins!" -- combat / a chance to turn you undead, perhaps
"Return. Die." --- "hey come back here and die." ?
"Return to Orr." -- I may be reading too much into this, but I see it as an "invitation" to be killed and serve Zhaitan like all of the other Orrians.
KILL EVERYTHING.
The light fades…
Just a few thoughts:
I’m pretty sure AN has some trolls on staff (thankfully), so I think a few of these COULD be jokes. Not saying any of these are official by any means, but just thoughts.
“It’s done.” – There was an awful bug in Lich King in WoW on release where this would be said over and over again after a DK questline.
“Curse your eyes.” – Ever see Young Frankenstein?
“Return…” – Could also be programming jokes?
One i don’t see here is “Rest…” or “So Tired…” after you kill them. It seems they don’t like being risen after all xD
I guess “Return. Die” is some sort of threat in a broken language?
Like they’re trying to say “If you return, you will die”, but because they’re undead their intelligence/vocabulary is limited.
One i don’t see here is “Rest…” or “So Tired…” after you kill them. It seems they don’t like being risen after all xD
I’ve heard them saying also “At last…”
Lore wise, I guess as they finally die for good they briefly recover their sanity as Zhaitan’s influence over them fades.
Whether something is either wrong or right, someone will always complain about it.
“More……come”
obviously comparing cursed shores to the seaside resort of Morecambe http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Morecambe,+Lancashire,+United+Kingdom&hl=en&ll=54.071376,-2.859192&spn=0.087733,0.174923&sll=53.712965,-2.642212&sspn=0.707907,1.399384&geocode=FTYbOQMduEjU_w&hnear=Morecambe,+Lancashire,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=13
My favorite that i heard only once from an abomination in Orr was “Home…” and he said it so lovingly it broke my heart for a second. The next one said “Misery” in a similar way though, and that was simply creepy.
“Death…Good!”
It means you’re going to get pulled over and have to slaughter these zombies before resuming running for your life/ ori nodes.
They’re begging us to kill them. My favourite is female asura with this enthusiastic it begins!, such happiness for getting a chance to die
It’s reminding me of ghosts from Jade Empire. They were so mad for getting stuck in physical world that they were ready to force fights with mortals, to either kill them (teach them how it feels to suffer so much) or get dissipated and rest for a while
I’m seriously had enough of the battle quotes. Sometimes I think I’m fighting in middle of paralympics.
DEF… GUUD!
RETOORN… DAE!
MOAR… COM HIUR!
IT’S DUN!
IT BEGINZAH!
Specially the huge bearded norn with female voices. :I
And the voices don’t sound like undead at all anyways. Specially the female ones.
I get the impression that some of the Risen DO want to die (after all, they’re zombified), but some of them are kind of channeling Zhaitan as they die. (Hence, “Death good” and “The light fades….”, presumably from the ones who look forward to death, whereas “Curse your eyes” and “It begins….” are from the ones who are basically letting Zhaitan get one last taunt out of them). Then again, I’m well known by my friends for reading faaaar too much into things like this. :P
Speaking of “Curse your eyes”:
Personally, I find “Curse your eyes” more confusing than any of those.
I may be wrong, but it might be a reference to GW1, specifically the Nightfall campaign. The Big Bad of that game, Abaddon, seemed to have a thing for eyes (as in, eating/destroying them), and a lot of his minions would shout, “Abaddon will feast on your eyes!” NightfallHow do you think Kormir lost hers? Don’t know why Zhaitan’s minions would be referencing him, but maybe it just thought it was creepy enough.
