Midna did actually. Got tired of all the muttering of "At least she's better than Navi."

Depends on who he's planning to blow up. Especially in a game where everyone on both sides gets sent to the hospital and restored, anyway.

Make me wonder why the authorities bother with heroes for hostage situations. "What? The Council has taken some City Councilmen hostage, and you want to call in some heroes? Don't waste their time; we'll just nerve gas the building and sort out the villains from the hostages at the hospital."

Only the heroes carry the bracelets that let them teleport to the hospitals upon defeat. The citizens do not have these.

I'm not sure what the story is for villains, or if it's even explained.

Sometimes I wish the original devs never bothered to explain why a character never dies in an MMO. The one they came up with is so immersion breaking, it's basically become a self-mocking joke of the game now 7 years later. Most other games never try to explain it. They just come up with a mechanism for it that's never really explained.

The fact that you will automatically be teleported to the hospital means that you can never create a narrative with a true level of threat in this game... unless you just ignore the mechanism and its underpinnings.

Well, we sometimes end up in a jail - but that's not really too terrible

Zombie pets walking around under the Atlas statue is going to be annoying for me. I'm sorry but that's how I feel. It's just a game and I'll try to ignore it but it'll be hard.

Zombies are fine if you take the right approach. Zombies can basically just be puppets. They're often associated with evil, but it's possible to make goodguy necromancers. Guild Wars has them.

My Necro/Dark started off as a good person. She was part of a noble family that practiced necromancy and dark magic. They revived the dead and assembled flesh and bone into new shapes to use as pets and servants. For instance, they might create dogs or birds to carry messages long distances, scout, or hunt. They might use humanoid zombies to build buildings or do other menial labor.

Creepy but not evil.

You'll have to take that up with The Thorny Devil. I believe he is the creator of the Troll Enhancement. I'm not responsible for other peoples typos.

You could use mine instead! It was pretty popular when I first posted it.
