Overlord II Mini-Preview

One of the first tasks presented to you in Overlord II involves sending your minions to club baby seals to death and steal their lifeforce, which you then use to summon more minions. Not only that, but your minions will occasionally behead the seals and wear their cute little faces as a hat!
While that may seem disturbing on some level, it also sounds pretty freaking sweet to a lot of gamers out there (you sick bastards!). Much like Fable 2, Overlord prides itself on its sense of humor and is in no way representative of reality. The difference here, I think, is that you don't actually kill the chickens in Fable 2, but you are most certainly killing things in Overlord. That may be the step over the line PETA needs and will most likely be throwing a fit any day now. After all, they did recently make a bit of a fuss over seal slaughter in World of Warcraft, so this should be an easy transition for them.
