A REQUEST for Yorick's full VGU

Can his ghouls have voices? Chatter among themselves? Talk to Yorick? Talk about Yorick as if he can't hear them? Give them idle animations and idle conversations.

"Does he know where he's going?"
"Does it matter?"
- "I hope we get to smash things!"
"Aaaatttttack!"
"Charge!"
"Wahay!"

One thing all current minion mancers lack is a real... personality to their minions. If you can make the experience of playing Yorick even 20% of what it's like to play the Overlord in the Overlord game series, I'll be happy. There's something about disposable minions that you find adorable but still don't particularly care about dying.

Plus, just imagine the Bad Santa Yorick skin with his horde of elves "droning" Jingle Bells or some other nursery rhyme:

Or a Dog Walker skin...

Eh, it's risky, because it would mean a helluva lot more intricacies when it comes to designing future skins. They've already stated that minion masters like Zyra already require a ton of effort from the skin dept because of all the extra designing needed for the specific minions, and adding voices might make the process, and the feasibility of regular Yorick skins, a huge ordeal.

Make sure that when Yorick uses /dance they lock arms and start squaredancing

Hmm... I don't know. In my opinion, personally, this might clutter the design too much. However, some simple phrases could be a nice little touch (like, saying "I am so tired" on spawn, or "I obeeeeyyyy...").

I agree that minion controllers don't have much minion personalities in their designs, but on the other hand, they are pretty unique in themselves, so adding uniqueness to their minions as well would be, like, too much.
