Curse you, Man!

In Lord of the Rings Online, you have a choice between playing a human, Dwarf or Elf. This choice has very little to no impact on your game play. What it does have an impact on, is your immersion.

When NPC’s fight you, they will often trash talk you. Some of these phrases are designed to insert the race of your character. Humans in LOTR are referred to as the race of Man. So, when you kill an NPC, whether a bandit or vicious orc, they will often say:

“Curse you, Man!”

I always hear this in my head in the voice of a surfer dude. The orcs don’t seem so scary after that.
