It's tradition. Typing "kill monsters" and hearing all the monsters go SPLAT is more satisfying than just watching them drop to the ground anyway.giest118 wrote:Why do you need the explosion anyway? Isn't just having the monsters dead good enough for you?
Besides, many monsters who don't have explode deaths die just as violently:
- Pain Elementals explode
- Mancubii fall to pieces
- Cyberdemons blow up
- Spidermasterminds blow up, fall over, and THEN sink into the swamp! (errrr... wait)
It would just be silly to have these violent deaths accompanied by a zombie moaning and laying down.
