My first character was a half-drow dark urge bard. Half drow because it looked cool, bard sounded whimsical/chaotic and fun (like Dandelion in the Witcher books) and the dark urge sounded intriguing because I like a good mystery, somehow I didn’t put together what dark urge would actually mean. I restarted after the Alfina incident. 😅 I just realized that I made half drow Joker by accident 😂

the animation: XDD the video: :D the audio: XD

my first tav was a drow and i thought the game was just racist in general especially with shart and lae'zel's interactions

LMAO I LOVE THIS

Ngl in my first playthrough I didnt even talk to Minthara, or pretty much anyone else in the goblin camp, got the quest to eliminate and didnt even ask questions lmao

I'm a drow, I had no idea damn near everyone you meet is gonna be racist to you 😭

“No, YOU welcome.” That fucking got me.

Adam fking Smasher lol

Omfg 😂 I'm glad I found this today I'm fking crying ...Gale getting the treatment, he deserves early game.

then you go to the blighted village and the goblin camp and they treat you like royalty

broooo put a spoiler alert!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

my fave race is drow and my friends fave race is githyanki. all we need is a friend who loves tieflings and we've got the holy trinity of most hated in faerûn lmao

I'm a drow, and I've killed every drow I've come across in this game so far 🥲

*me at the end of act 2 when the reveal happens* "I hugged you bro!!! You said it felt nice!!! WHY YOU LET ME DO THAT BROOO?!?!?" *vomit sounds*

never really had friends to play dnd with and didnt know any background info so when i made my drow tav and everyone was accusing me of shit all the time i was so confused

Thollier's pained moans after the beating were 100% accurate and made me laugh so hard.

I always enjoy the back and forth of dialogue in your videos, but something about this specific dynamic feels like the funniest one you've done yet. Part of it is definitely how hilarious it is to hear Thioller *shouting* his readiness to square up.

got damn

Amazing. Love it. Keep up the great work.

Hard to argue with a simp.

How did you get Laezel to voice herself?

Haha, nice one!

We so back

I'm playing a Selarune? Selarine? Drow for my first playthrough and I have no idea why everyone is racist :(

Yaaaaa

Thats pretty cringe

So many evil doors opened for my drow. Was quite a surprise. They stepped aside like « damn, son, the party’s starting now! »

The sukuna eyes took me out

I completed a game for the first time like a drow bard, and this was funny

passive aggresive Albino Durge Drow is the best plaz through

Play as a drow druid..getting into the druid and goblin camp was easypeasy

Literally I took drow for first playthrough

I’m high as fuck. This felt like a whole ass movie and it’s only a whole ass 2 minutes.

My first time playing was a month or 2 ago and my first character was a drow

I just started the game, saw something on reddit saying drow would be funny. Im on the cusp of Act 2, and so far no regrets lmao.

Says the man who has crabs

Says the man who has crabs

rofl its true!!

goddamn those WoW sounds in the beginning gave me PTSD lol. How the fuck could I hear 2 sec of random sound and still be plagued by this game. I havent touched it in years and still it haunts me.

He's a drow. He's a Durge. And now 0:31 he's a fraudkuna. It's official: your character is irredeemable and needs to be put down like Old Yeller.

Really interesting.. You opted to explain the lore by bringing onto it cultural aspects outside of it.. That is exactly the conclusion i came with when confronted by the layers of confusion surrounding the understanding of elden ring story.. The confusion in the storytelling is volontary i believe and can only be eluded through a greater scope or multiple sources like you intuit.. And about it i have some very good elements/hypotheses that may explain why the story the tarnished find himself in is in such a stalemate and not developing at all. The answer lies in Marika's very being which seems like a complex matter yet is actually simple when we grasp the source of the inspiration. My stance in regard to this is that the theory that Marika is Radagon and are actually two separates 'beings' or rather concept/ideas are both true. I will explain how this is both the case later.. But first let us make a detour and take example of a Bible chapter that encompass everything there is to know about Marika herself. What is her true equivalent in the Bible, i may ask (?) You quoted Revelation 13 in the video, i will answer you by quoting Revelation 17, i want you also to notice the title of the chapter, i quote : Revelation 17 : 1-5 "The Woman on the Beast 1Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. 2The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were INTOXICATED with the wine of her immorality.” 3And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, where I saw A WOMAN SITTING ON A SCARLET BEAST that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4The woman was dressed in PURPLE and scarlet, and adorned with GOLD and precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a GOLDEN CUP full of abominations and the impurities of HER SEXUAL IMMORALITY. 5And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." The woman on the Beast is reminiscent of all of Marika's actions throughout elden ring story : - being the vessel of the Elden Beast/ like the woman on the Beast being an agent of it - intoxicating those who dwell on the earth/ meaning deceiving greatly the people of the land between by lies and pseudo-truths - commiting sexual immoralities/multiples relationships with elden lords to consolidate her power The scarlet woman in the Bible is said to be dressed with PURPLE. Like one of those images where we see Marika's dress is in purple with golden leafs, she is also adorned with GOLD and highly connected to it as the golden order and her God is none other than herself.. The revelation woman also possesses a Golden CUP.. Hmm.. These colors scarlet and purple made me think of marika's golden flask which are the cerulean and crimson flask tear we use in the game.. Let us read further this chapter and see that there is everything in it already to make this incredible parallel between the scarlet woman and Marika and that this is not a mere coincidence, i quote : Revelation 17 : 6-7 "6I could see that THE WOMAN WAS DRUNK WITH THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS AND WITNESSES FOR JESUS. And I was utterly amazed at the sight of her. 7“Why are you so amazed?” said the angel. “I will tell you the mystery of THE WOMAN AND OF THE BEAST that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns." Now listen, directly in the trailer of the DLC we see a woman walking on a pile of corpses with blood surrounding her all around.. These corpses as we all know are the sacrifices conducted by Marika to erect her order as well as her tree.. This is exactly the parallel of the woman drunk with the blood of all the saints of the earth which are the shamans in the lands between i believe that's why i've mentioned it.. Also we see in the game multiple references to shamans being sacrificed and put into jars in order to become saints, this is not hazardous as this is a hint again that fromsoftware left you to see if you will catch the source of inspiration or not.. With all of these, how can i be so sure that the beast associated with the woman is the elden beast in elden ring(?) Simple it is mentioned in one of elden ring incantations, the elden stars, an important clue, that i quote : "the Greater Will sent a golden star bearing a beast into the Lands Between, which would later become the Elden Ring." Thus the golden star = the elden beast = the elden ring Therefore that golden star is like that star that was cast out from heaven to the abyss : Revelation 9 : 1 "1Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw A STAR THAT HAD FALLEN FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH, and it was given the key to the pit of the ABYSS." Revelation 11 : 7 "7When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the BEAST THAT COMES UP FROM THE ABYSS will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them." Who is the beast that comes up from the abyss like the elden beast in elden ring.. Now what if i say to you that this beast is simply an allegory for the dragon's action aka Marika undesirable other self aka Radagon the Dra'a'gon in elden ring.. I quote the Bible again : Revelation 12 : 3 "3Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads." Compare this passage with this one : Revelation 13 : 1 "1Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads." Notice that both the dragon and the beast shares some key characteristics : Same number of heads and horns meaning they represent a same concept highlighted under multiple aspects. The topic of the horns is also prevalent in the game with the spirits idolaters, the reprobates/omen in the original game. In the DLC some of the enemies we encounter are called hornsents and are considered as inquisitors. These inquisitors, i intuit are sent by the Dragon/Beast aka Radagon/Messmer to persecute any opponent who dare to oppose the order in the shadow land.. What i believe is that Radagon aka the Dragon is the ideologist while the Elden Beast represents the system/ideology put in place/manifested by him in the lands between.. So now with all these elements where am i going at(?) What is the point ? First of all to show you that elden ring takes his inspiration deeply into others lores. Secondly to portray through these bible extracts the true dynamic between Marika and Radagon. And finally to understand what is truly happening in the lands between and why everything seems so shockingly dead, immovable.. So here comes my conclusion with this last Bible verse.. Everything happening in the lands between can be explained by this chapter, i quote : Revelation 12 : 13 "The Woman Persecuted 13And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child." Once Marika divested from her other self aka Radagon by shattering the elden ring, the Dragon never ceased to pursue her in a will to be whole again with her.. During that time she is literally trying everything in her power to make the tarnished which is you, her consort but as the game shows in the end to no avail.. Since we know that Radagon is associated with the law of regression, if not to say to Karma. Radagon simply is Marika's karma. Marika is the law of causality, the spirit who wanted to divest himself from the material, the body symbolized by Radagon. We see in the cinematic intro that while Marika shattered the elden ring to divest herself, Radagon's will is the total opposite, to repair it.. As this is a common theme in the Bible, that the will of the spirit is opposite to that of the flesh.. Radagon's hammer is reminiscent to forgery, he is like a mix between the norse Gods Loki and Thor a trickster, a deceiver as well as a god of order. The veil we see in shadow of the erdtree is everything 'Marika'/Radagon wanted to conceal from the surface.. Radagon's treachery and the flaw of his 'perfect' system of order is represented at the core by Messmer in the DLC aka that great serpent, the dragon who never stop to accuse the brethren day and night, the people of the lands between, those on the surface/the earth, to judge them, to prosecute them for the perpetual sustainance of Radagon's Golden order aka the Dragon's great deception which was the betrayal of the Greater Will behind the veil(!) At the core of Radagon sound system of order or pretense of Justice, we see true corruption manifested by Messmer relentless acts of discrimination conducted without distinction of what is actually right from what is wrong.. In parallel, we see the antichrist in the person of Miquella who subverted his love in the person of St Trina, whose sole purpose is to become a God, to supplant the Greater will to usher a said age of compassion where he is implicitly the only One God.. Alas with all of this, what do we see in the end(?) A Radagon who achieved to be whole again and usurp/sabotage Marika original will which was for her to be completely her own being separated from the law of regression and the chaotic trickster being at the core of the corrupt system of Order/Justice : Radagon/Messmer the Devil.. And his representative in the person of the antichrist Miquella who achieved to subvert everyone hearts being introduced in the temple of God=Gate of Divinity as the abomination of desolation spoken off in Daniel's Bible prophecy preventing even further the 'tarnished' Elden Lord once again from restauring God's temple thus the difficulty of the fight.. Marika's end is indeed a tragedy as the tarnished is already preempted/overshadowed by Radagon veiled actions from becoming Marika's desired Elden Lord since the very beginning of the game, a rigged one.. בֶּ֙רַע֙

I mean, my first character was a Drow /because/ I knew the likely reactions. 😙👌

everyone apologise to Mohg

"you're on thin ice buddy" godwyn maybe

I was a drow and a Druid so I was able to get the best of both worlds 😂

The Gloam-Eyed Queen may also just be a title that may be inherited from one person to another. Or perhaps a spirit that may jump host bodies. I still believe Melina "is" the GEQ, or rather that she had been the GEQ back when she was actually alive. And the seal/sign across her eye, empowered by the Golden Order/Elden Ring, suppressed the GEQ "spirit"/side in her so that her actual human self can be in control. The player as the Lord of the Frenzied Flame destroys the power of the Elden Ring, thus the power of the seal, thus the GEQ side/spirit/personality whatever is unleashed again.
