I was reading the thread about te FFXIV "End of an Era" video when i poster pointed out how Bahamut being a dragon was oversuded. Now, i know Bahamut is important to FF and as appeared before, so it's not about that. But, i do agree with him (her). Dragons are standart in fantasy games, understood, but i think there's a limit to things. Recently, they've been even more ovedone. WOW's Deathwing and dragon army. RIFT'S whole Blood Storm and using Crucia as the face of teh expac. GW2's still as 4 Elder Dragons to go, and even then the most "unique, well known" enemies are dragons. Now Bahamut. I would be suprised to see tons in TESO and NW. Hell, SOE announced "Dragon Prophet" which will ahve over 300 of them. What i find even more annoying is how the Western "four-legged, winged reptile" style is always the ones choosen. Why not atleast use the Eastern " serpentine" style more often. So, i would like to know what you guys would use in place of dragons as the main villain for a new MMO? REMEMBER- You can use monters with "dragonic" features, like Hydras which grow more head or the Serpent dragon i meantioned. Just be creative. |

An Emperor. But then again, nobody wants a human end boss.

Giants, ogres, vampires, trolls (like the big ones in LOTR), wraiths, undead, chimeras, Medusa.

EQ IMO still has the best and most varied of bosses or gods, no other MMO comes close.

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

------------ Anyway I personally don't need 'one big huge villain' in mmorpg. Anyway I agree that dragons are overdone. If it is type of mmorpg that really need 'big bad villain comic stories style' then I just anything non-dragon. |

Gotta go with Mindflayers, illithids are really underrated while being amazingly strong, scary, and completly unknown

The Russians.
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

I don't think dragons are overdone at all. If anything, most games haven't done them well. However, unless one wants to make up a monster, can't one make an argument that they all monsters are overdone? Though one has to think that demons, devils, dragons, vampires "etc" have been in literature for hundreds, even thousands of years. Why are they "all of a sudden" done? Ok fine. I'll go with lawyers.

Originally posted by Sovrath As in the title, i mean as a "main villain". Of course, all kinds of fantasy creatures have been used, including demons and humans. For example, the "evil guy with an armor" is also another one, like the Lich King in WOW. However, using, a gigantic Cerberus as a final monster would be cool, IMO. In fact, what if, since Cerberus have 3 heads there where 3 minds and personalities to it? Just an idea, but i think it'd be alot more interesting to fight one than evil dragon number 385. Also, lawyers are good. EA suits would be another one. |

i havent seen a lot of game use the mythical Sphinx, or a demon child ( i guess killing a child for epic loot might be pushing it). any type of lizzard or even reptile can probably do. an elephant with snakes instead of snout?
the thing is that dragons are pretty much the top of the fantasy food chain. there is simply nothing that eats dragons. dragons are the supremely powerful animals and have been at the core of fantasy for hundreds of years. you can't just simply brake that conditioning. |

The leader/king you have been working for the entire time. I always find the best main villains are the ones that betray you.
