A guy on b.net ask about Laughing Skeletons in Diablo 3.

Do we REALLY need that? Laughing skeletons… really, does anyone find this feature appealing?

I can understand that the minions of Hell find great pleasure in lacerating mortal flesh… but that particular laugh just sounded a bit out of place.

I know it’s an older video, and nothing’s definite until the game is out on shelves. But it only starts with laughing skeletons, before we know it, you’ll see smart talking fallen ones, dumb catch-phrase spewing zombies, etc.

Couldn’t find any posts about it, but someone had to have noticed… maybe we can get a whole discussion on monster dialogue going here =)

Bashiok drops in with an answer:

From the writing of Abd al-Hazir:

“Furthermore, I have come to believe that a skeleton’s intelligence is limited by the power and scope of the spell used in the creature’s creation. Theoretically one could have a single astute skeleton servant or a rather dense army of a hundred for the same expenditure of magical energy. I am at a loss to explain the average skeleton’s somewhat ludicrous mental predisposition, however. Perhaps the implausibility of its own existence makes the skeleton think it hilarious to hide in a barrel, cackling intermittently for some three hundred years until a victim happens by?”

And yes, it’s completely necessary and awesome that they laugh the way they do. We enjoy it intensely.

 

It’s somewhat akward topic, anyways what you think about Laughing Skeletons in D3?

Anybody got some information on that subject?

Q u o t e:
I highly doubt almost certain that you won’t see a demo for diablo III

So confused.
