I like the way some heros/henchmen say stuff while fighting, it would be nice if our characters could do that by pressing alt+# or letter, and we can always edit the taunts.

Why this is a good idea

• Makes combat more lively
• Get a few laughs here and there
• Good for taking screenshots with.
• Good for Guild and Alliance in Battle. scenario: on winning everyone shout: We Are The Missing Link, To The DEATH! or For Frodo!!!!! (an example assuming The Missing Link is their guild name or tag line).
• Could be a Voice Option, and remember to make it non-spammable.

Why it may not work out

• Those bubble quote boxes are annoying. It's like watching an action movie but someone puts a black box over the action.
