Exposition with a twist, flavoured by character moments.

Morridune actually did exist in World of Warcraft once but he didn’t spawn anymore the times I was by to collect background screenshots for the bout through Blackfathom Deeps. I actually rewrote a significant part of his dialogue after one of my two voices of correction managed to find what his actual dialogue was like, I’d forgotten it. Naturally, I Altered It Slightly to fit the present context better.

Pages like this where an NPC has a major acting role are always tricky. Due to lacking the added vertices and other tweaks I make use of for facial expressions, as well as the whole morph system to handle it easilly, there’s a significant lack of emotive quality compared to the meshes actually converted to poseable status. Still, one does as one must.

On a sidenote, the game had Morridune as a Dark Iron Dwarf. Managing to somehow miss where to get those textures the first time around, I made him a somewhat suspect-looking regular dwarf. I’ve since found out however so the next time situation calls for a Dark Iron Dwarf there’ll be an actual Dark Iron Dwarf!
