do you like skeletons /vr/os?
>>
Only when their effects are mind boggling
>>
I love all enemies based on these tropes and mythological beasts. Why don't modern games have wyverns, minotaurs, cyclops, giant bats, skeletons, undead wizards, creepy master monks, badass lancer knights, rickety tanks/cannons, centaurs, et fucking cetera?
>>

Why do you have to attempt to derail this into a modern gaming discussion? Fuck off

*wiping away a single tear*
you are gay

>>12638740
likely due to the normiefication of dnd

Yes.

Same, actually.

Armored skeletons are kinda cool but overall I prefer zombies

I want to get into the Wizardry series but every time I tried to play 6 I felt like a pea brain.

Because they're """generic""". Which is ironic as they're not used so much anymore so they're not really generic anymore.

Let me bash a giant ghoul for skele-tons of XP

They're great fodder enemies, but can be awesome if used as a harder boss as well. I think they're perfect desu. I might be biased, however, considering I have one inside me right now.

wtf how did it get in there

Medievil, MOM, HOMM3. King's Bounty skelly's are ok i guess.

>>12639749
Bullshit. Show me your skeleton right now with timestamp.

I’m glad I played it as a historical curiosity but I’ll stick with the SMT games

Spooky, scary skeletons
Send shivers down your spine

>>12638721
Skeletons are one of the greatest video game enemies there are. But personally, I think they should be relegated to low level fodder. When I think of a skeleton, I just think of the crunch as their bones fall in a hit. Whacking a skeleton repeatedly doesn't feel right.

Wizardry 7 spooky goat-headed skeleton mummies are by far my favorite skeleton of all time.

>>12638779
DnD has everything he listed though.

There's a formula:

Hit once, xylophone (xylobone kek) sounds, pile of bones, shakes briefly, reassembles, hit again, dies. Holy weapon kills on first hit. Healing spells harm them.

>>12638781
There was an attempt. And while I appreciate the reference and the flow works in some parts, this is just bad.

>>
>>12643372
eh it's my bone collection
Seriously though without my skeleton I'd be just like Adam Savage.
>>
>>12642067
yeah, that's the point anon. the mainstream popularity of it made them less cool.
