<p>I see that Gorowyn has a video entrance and I am sure other zones do too but how hard would it be to actually make these more prevalent in Norrath?</p><p>I mean, something that can actually explain some lore. Shoot, I'll do the VO's for ya for free but I would love lore accessible through intros or voice overs.</p><p>I know I sure hate it when I enter an instance which you know has tons of lore only to find little documentation and end up just killing random npcs which often feels like murder.</p><p>How hard would it be to add more video introductions with lore information on dungeons and instances?</p>

<p>I wish they'd've used Investigation for this -- lore on dungeons.  Make some objects examinable if your Investigation is high enough and learn something about the zone, the room, etc.  That would have been neat...</p><p>I'm still hoping, wishing, crossing my fingers that Investigation will have a purpose someyear!</p>

<p>That can be annoying for a group if you are watching the same video for the umpteenth time.  It would be good if each zone had perhaps an npc that was the "go to person".  This npc could both hand out books of zone lore and show videos?</p><p>Not sure how to implement this, but at the very least if there was a consistently occuring lore npc at each zone beginning with books, that would be a great start to it.</p>

<p>NPCs giving out books = wayyy better than implementing investigation in my book!  (hmm, is that a pun?  I'm not sure...)</p>

<p>I'd be nice if they had some time to create such movies, but the Screen Actors Guild in California prohibits anyone from hiring free voice actors. They would have to head to Funimation studios in Houston, the New York Audio Visual Post in New York, or Ocean Studios in Vancouver Canada, and even then, they'd still have to pay for any volunteer voice talent.</p>
