The latest patch 5.4 newsBreakfast Topic: Your favorite lines of spoken dialogue

Sep 9th 2009 at 8:00AM
With so many iconic phrases, both breath taking and amusing, I'm interested to know what lines of dialogue stick with you and why. Is it the turn of phrase? The delivery? The context in which the line is spoken that adds to the drama or humor?
For me, it's all about Eadric the Pure. Pretty much every line of dialogue he gets in the Trial of the Crusader 5-man is amazing. Well acted, well scripted, with just the right balance between pomposity, noble righteousness and a sort of bemused sense of humor and enjoyment about the whole concept of the Argent Tournament. If I had to pick one line, it would be his final one: "I yield! I submit! Excellent work! May I run away now?"
Yes, you may Eadric. But please, come back again soon. You're awesome.

That made me laugh too. I wasn't expecting something silly at the end of the fight like that.

Roll a female Gnome Warrior. Try using Heroic Strike when you have 0 rage. Hearing a voice that tiny say "Not enough Rage!!" Is cute and terrifying at the same time. I love it.

"Run away, little girl, run away..."
I've had that line set in my DBM for 2 years now and I'll probably never get sic of it.

"While video game voice acting never really seems to draw the amazing big names."
wut
I guess that depends on your definition of "amazing big names" - but this is a pretty boneheaded statement in my opinion.

i have to agree with tim here... animation and video games frequently have voice actors in common, though i guess those aren't necessarily big names... but then you get stuff like the gta series, which always has big name actors doing voices, like samuel l jackson and james woods in san andreas... but i guess its just a question of semantics, seeing as video games USUALLY dont draw big name actors

It's pure nostalgia--I haven't run Deadmines in ages--but VanCleef, when you die: "And stay down."

"Please, no more! My son... he's gone mad!"
"Who are you? What do you want?! STAY AWAY FROM ME?!"
And of course, the kicker.
"Surely you would not deny an old man a replenishing drink? No, no I thought not."
