Giving Nighmist Stylised Attitude

Ok, this has only briefly been thought out as I'm waist deep in work, but it occured to be, that Nightmist could do with a little bit of styled attitude, to keep things fresh. I'll give you an example of what I mean.
'You cannot go that way!' - That is very generic, and suffice to say, not all that interesting to look at, yet it is probably one of the most common phrases to cross your screen. So I suggest we make it a little snappier, add a little bit of humorous spice.
-You can't go that way-
'A satisfying crunch brings to your attention that you, in fact, cannot walk through solid matter!'
-You are hungry-
'A bowl shuddering rumble from your stomach brings to your attention how hungry you are'.
-You are Thirsty-
'As you lick your lips, the feeling of sandpaper across your mouth reminds you how thirsty you are'.
-Poisened-
'Another step, a little more sweat, another missing finger... Oh that's right, I'm poisened'
-Poisened 2-
'Heaving the contents of your stomach into a nearby bush, you realise, that perhaps you might be poisened?'
-Death-
'As you drop to your knees you suddenly realise, 'I should have had that neck gash checked...'.'
-Death 2-
'Collapsing to the ground you think to yourself, 'Who needs a body anyway?'
Now this kind of style could be added to almost every element of Nightmist, if I had time, I'd think up some more examples, I just think Nightmist could well do with that dash of 'attitude'. Crap, gotta go, 3 calls in queue.

My suggestion is not a modification to a current element, my suggestion more encompasses a theme. As for me not reading, you should have noticed this due to my other lines in there regarding poisons, hunger, and thirst.

i was walking up to a river thingy north of dendeya and fell down... i was sort of miffed at the time because i lost quite a bit hp wandering where i shouldn't have been. i think it would have been a lot less aggravating or even had been pleasant if it said "You fall on some rocks, you clumsy schmuck!" or, "Way to go loser!"

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
* Deval pulls out hair
It's not about THAT!
* Deval cries tears of blood
It's about giving all aspects of the game a little flare.

Its still replacing the "You can't go that way" with something new. As i said, it was already posted.

deval is using that medium to present a stylized attitude for nightmist in a subtle way.
you just want to replace a generic messages with insignifigantly less generic messages.

Yes, and this idea is pointless. A few days after it would be added, it would become extremely boring. Nobody would find the jokes funny (weren't that funny anyway) so Issys way was much better.
Edit: Typo

Stotic pointed out why it would not work, and it would be the same case with Deval. Deval is like my idea, just modified for "elements".
