EverQuest II Preview

Game Over Online has put together a preview of EverQuest II, based upon what they've seen of the MMORPG during the beta test. Here's a little something to get you started:
Fast paced dramatic songs put players on their tiptoes in dungeons while smooth upbeat tunes make for a nice stroll through the villages. During combat, the music energetically ramps up to incite an adrenaline rush in the players and then fades away into a sweet melody when victory is attained. What really puts the game over the top is that every NPC character, including monsters, have their own voice-overs. What you'll find is that the level of interaction is incredible because just hearing the voice of a beautiful maiden or a scruffy pirate can set the tone and feeling within the game. I personally like the voice-overs of the monsters saying things to you during combat, which adds that much more to each encounter. SOE is also supporting multiple languages for English, French and German in both text and voice-over, which is again nothing short of amazing for this type of game.
