It's not like the normal "You are fools to have come to this place!" which most other bosses have. Not at all. He recognizes and appreciates you before he attacks you.<br /><br />And it wasn't just "I remember you" but also "in the mountains" which implies that you two have an important back story together. (If you meet a demi god in the mountains it's probably not for camping.)<br /><br />I always found that cool.<br /><br /><br />But I also like little Wwwwweeeeeeeeeehhhhhh! :)Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-12554285747944138462010-11-15T14:33:14.134+00:002010-11-15T14:33:14.134+00:00I know what the line refers to, I've done that...I know what the line refers to, I've done that quest chain five or six times. :) What I meant in my post was that I never understood why certain people loved the line so much that they felt the need to repeat it over and over again, as I didn't think it was that funny or exciting.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-57981114992770417142010-11-15T10:33:17.645+00:002010-11-15T10:33:17.645+00:00There is the very nice and long quest line which o...There is the very nice and long quest line which opens up the Sons of Hodir. The quest line ends with Loken imprisoning his brother Thorim into Ulduar. You (the player) takes part in this event but you're unable to stop Loken. Loken then lets you go as you did him a favour by helping him imprison Thorim.<br /><br />This all happens in Storm Peaks, which has a lot of snow covert mountains.<br /><br />So, yes, Thorim, now imprisoned in Ulduar, remembers you.Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-24234202612775163822010-11-13T01:51:52.404+00:002010-11-13T01:51:52.404+00:00@Rades: Xevozz was on my shortlist too but didn...@Rades: Xevozz was on my shortlist too but didn't make the cut in the end as I'm just not that into ethereals.

The only one that I can remember off the top of my head is his yelling "MEDIC!" sometimes when he kills a player. :P<br /><br />@Shay: I thought Sarth had a good voice too, he just didn't make my top five. "All will be reduced to ash!" "Tenebron, the eggs are yours to protect as well!"<br /><br />@Syl: I think Rags' intro works because something interesting/surprising happens: he rages at his own servant and kills him! In WOTLK however I felt that a lot of boss intros were basically just the bosses talking about how awesome they are, which got old rather quickly. (Actually, nobody I know liked Kael'thas' stupid speech in Tempest Keep back in BC either.)<br /><br />Kel'thuzad has character, but in my opinion he's too silly for an end boss. :P<br /><br />And how could I forget Falric! He is indeed awesome as well. "Women, children... none were spared the master's wrath." "Marwyn, finish them!"Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-75761734797317760532010-11-13T01:45:06.103+00:002010-11-13T01:45:06.103+00:00My favorite is Xevozz in the Violet Hold.

As for your choices, I have used Anub'Rekhan and Yogg'Saron's voice clips in my D&D game for very memorable boss encounters. Anub'Rekhan's suite of awesome creepy, scary lines made my players TERRIFIED! <br /><br />And the Sara/Yogg-transformation was perfect for the climax of the campaign, when their street-level antagonist who'd hassled them the entire campaign revealed that she was actually the leader of the death cult they'd fought, and was the avatar for the demigod who they had just accidentally freed. Without the voices, these two encounters would have lacked the drama and emotional tension that made them awesome.<br /><br />I didn't know Thorim's line was a meme, I'll have to check that out!Radeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258438792268722044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-50779458988799330932010-11-13T00:51:53.782+00:002010-11-13T00:51:53.782+00:00I agree with you on the NPC part, I don't want...I agree with you on the NPC part, I don't want them to speak as much in MMOs as in a classic RPG for example (while the voice acting in Dragon Age Origins is godly, it DOES take lots of time to get through!), they're part of the main content of RPGs while for online games you really want to interact with real people. I would however make an exception for bosses, at least the more noteworthy one, like gate-keepers, endwing and endbosses. it adds a lot of character and memorability to encounters that have epic audio intros - who doesn't remember Ragnaros' "What is the meaning of this, Executus??!"-speech with Domo in vanilla WoW? =)<br />I'd like to see more of this, half the time when I raid nowadays I don't know who these bosses even are and why we fight them.<br /><br />You picked some great examples btw, I agree fully. I would probably add KT in Naxx to that ("A curse opon you, interlopers!") and Falric in HoR who has given me the absolute creeps everytime he whispered his "Despair... so delicious...!" *panic* <br /><br />If I had to pick my favourite of them all, my vote would probably go to XT - he was a blast and truly unique! ^^<br /><br />p.s. my guild has actually taken to mocking me with Thorim's line - as if it's my fault i'm living in a country with alps! ;(Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-63247159589890240142010-11-13T00:44:26.157+00:002010-11-13T00:44:26.157+00:00Ugh Sindy can die, I hate that line.
I'm hard...Ugh Sindy can die, I hate that line.<br /><br />I'm hard pressed to recall many lines at all from raid bosses this expansion. I can still repeat from memory Illidan's whole monologue, Malchezzar's easy, Anetheron is a favorite but the only one that sticks out from Wrath is Sartharion's "flammable little insects" line. I think that one is great.Shayzanihttp://www.2fps.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-47127761466053096822010-11-13T00:39:42.991+00:002010-11-13T00:39:42.991+00:00I like Mimiron HM, as well.
