edstamos1 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I remember this one game of D&D I played back in the day. We happened upon a room with a couple corpses in a pool of water. I had this feeling, and I just new a fight was about to ensue. Sure enough, the zombies slowly clambered out of the pool. Luckily, our mage had an iron-shod staff and the shocking grasp spell :D Well, unfortunately these weren't ordinary zombies - because before I knew it, I was sprawled on the floor in a pool of my own blood. The barbarian in our party went berserk (can't stand seeing women struck down), and cleaved one nearly in half. Eventually we defeated them (well, the barby and mage did...the theif was hiding quietly somewhere, and I forget what the other guy was doing). Zombies are fine - they're mostly filler though. It's the other undead you have to watch out for - vampires and mummies especially. well thought out vampires are a nice touch to an RPG, although they sort of set the scene to the horror side (Morrowind's vampires don't count. they suck because they don't bite.... or something like that :P) Also, I think of the Bonewalkers as more like zombies that the corprus beasts - the latter aren't dead but disfigured. More like lepers with dementia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubal Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I can tell you this: my character will have a high level in marksman... I freaking hate zombies! Ghosts and mummies and skeletons are alright, but zombies just turn my switches in that special way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phawk69 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Also, I think of the Bonewalkers as more like zombies that the corprus beasts - the latter aren't dead but disfigured. More like lepers with dementia.I agree with ED, Bonewalkers are definitely Morrowind's zombies. The first time I heard a Greater Bonewalker behind a door, I freaked :) And the stinking things are so hard to kill, especially at lower levels. I just hate their ability to drain strength, and then you don't always recover all of it (or maybe it's just one of the mods I'm running ?) Anyway, Bonewalkers are definitely the creepiest things in Morrowind for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baraka Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I don't care much for zombies either, they seem so characterless ... of the undead, I think I like vampires the best, some guys with a little attitude at least. >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhydderch Hael Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Ghosts are intangible, immaterial. They're scary. Zombies are meat puppets just begging to be taken apart with copius amounts of explosive ordnance or a good sharp sword. Not scary. What really tingles my spine in a game, though, are ape-men. Sasquatch, Yeti, and the like. There's something sublimely terrifying about a creature that's sitting on that ragged edge between insanely powerful beast and sentient, cunning being. I have a feeling they know more about me than I know about them. That's where true fear lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypercube Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I like zombies, because they are easy to be manipulated, and i like necromancers because they manipulate them. I also like demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3lisk Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I say you sit on the roof with a 30-06 and pop their decayed zombie heads off. Boy would i LOVE that. But RPG related, i am not botherd by them. My targets are dead before they know im there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarKirby3333 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I hate zombies. I like things to screan and bleed when I hit them. Oblivion's zombies are especially bad because they have way too much health, and take ages to kill. The only zombies I like are the ones in Vampire: Bloodlines. Mainly because by the time you meet them you have a katana. Vampire strength+Katana = Slice and Dice. The zombies just fall to pieces. On the whole though, I'm sick of zombies. I've played too much Resident Evil. WarKirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
