I love the humor of this game, especially...

#1 Post by Hazel »

Just wanted to chime in and say that this game has some great humor, not only stuff like the Lore dropped by the boss of the Anteroom of Agony in the Ashes of Urh'Rok DLC where he lays out a plan to defeat you using military planning language, but especially I like those really funny enemies / enemy quirks that this game just throws you every now and then. Here are my 4 favorites:

1) The Sewer Alligator in the Dominion Port Sewers: It's a Sewer Alligator just like in the Urban Legend!

2) The Saw Horrors: Those are just funny. They are like the uber version of Blade Horrors and show up once you have Embers of Rage DLC. Honorary mention to the Gunsnake.

3) The squid enemies below water that attack you with blinding ink, Genius!

33) The Honey Tree for it's ingeniously funny way of providing you an early opportunity to unlock the Summoner class: Summoning bees and... bears!! Frickin' Winnie the Poo is summoned by the honey tree to teach you a lesson!

What about you guys?

The Dwarves find lots of a useless metal called 'gold' and go on to introduce the gold standard, and the other races are stupid enough to accept :)

The notes written by Dwarves in Reknor use accountant-speak.

And so many notes written by people who think they're so smart and then meet some gruesome, ironic end. And of course all the records of people casually justifying slavery, genocide, torture, experiments on living people, etcetera. A world full of war criminals. Reminds me a bit of Crusader Kings.
