Obturities for hexen/strife monsters

[Nash]

I changed Macil's and Alien Spectre's because they were "too generic".

[Graf Zahl]

Death Wyvern: Player was incinerated by the Death Wyvern.
Heresiarch: Player had no hopes of beating the Heresiarch. alternate: Player didn't stand a chance to the Heresiarch.
Zedek (Fighter boss): Player stood no chance to the Marshal of The Legion.
Traductus (Cleric Boss): Player was humbled down by the Grand Patriarch of the Church.
Menelkir (Mage Boss): Player had his mind blown away by the Arch-Mage of the Arcanum.
Korax: Player has been utterly annihilated by Korax's power.

Sorry, they are all quite lame. Any more suggestions?

[Graf Zahl]

Ok, I took what was usable but I'd like something a little more catchy for:

- Heresiarch
- Zedek
- Menelkir
- Traductus
- Inquisitor

[Nash]

Hey Graf, what do you think about my Strife ones? I have a feeling that I didn't get all the monsters and all their attack variations... I think some obituaries are missing.

EDIT: Oh, okay. I'll come up with something catchy for the Inquisitor.

[Graf Zahl]

Only one please. The obituary code cannot differentiate between the different attacks.

[Nash]

Oh, is that so? So that means you can't have separate obituaries for the Crusader's flamethrower and missiles, then?

Bummer. =(

[BouncyTEM]

guess obituaries would be too generic/lame when you make them up while half-asleep.

Heresiarch: Player couldn't dodge the violet fury of the Heresiarch.
Zedek: Player was shredded by the flames of Zedek's Quietus.
Menelkir: Player was scorched by the homing fire of Menelkir's Bloodscourge.
Traductus: Player was ripped apart by the ghosts of Traductus' Wraithverge.

those any better? x_x
if not i'll stop at this point.

[Nash]

Inquisitor gun: Player was splattered by an Inquisitor.

Inquisitor grenades:

Player had an explosive experience with an Inquisitor.

Player tried to play catch with an Inquisitor.

Player couldn't dogde the Inquisitor's grenades.

(Choose 1)

[Belial]

Player was baptized by Traductus?

Why does everyone care about something as minor as obits?

[Graf Zahl]

Belial wins! Any more of that kind?

[Nash]

Now that I think of it, short obits are better.

They disappear really quickly anyway so there's no point in making a long obituary.

As for "why bother"? Well... why don't you ask Randy why did he implement obituaries in the first place anyway.

[Graf Zahl]

@Nash: Didn't I say that the Inquisitor can't handle specific obits?

[Enjay]

Heresiarch: Player couldn't dodge the violet fury of the Heresiarch.
Zedek: Player was shredded by the flames of Zedek's Quietus.
Menelkir: Player was scorched by the homing fire of Menelkir's Bloodscourge.
Traductus: Player was ripped apart by the ghosts of Traductus' Wraithverge.

Hmmm, I dunno. They still sound a bit limp and the violet thing sounds a bit... odd I guess. Just picking one at random... does this sound any more ballsy?

<Player> was torn asunder by the spirits of Traductus' Wraithverge.

or maybe

Traductus sent spirits from his Wraithverge to tear <player> asunder.

Or maybe not.

[Graf Zahl]

I already chose Belial's for Traductus's obituary. It's perfect. But I sure could use something better for the other 2 and the Heresiarch.

[BouncyTEM]

Belial wins indeed.

I think i'll leave obituaries to you guys. they're not my strong point. x_x
