2:53:48 As a German, this absolutely perfect, accent-free pronunciation of "Bis später" totally caught me off-guard. Wow. To anyone not knowing, it means "see you later" in English.
I can say it was a surprise, but the way he said it, you'd almost expect Caleb to suddenly start wearing 'lederhosen' and start talking about how his 'freundin' Nott causes lots of trouble or that he loves his 'bücher.'
ThorsShadow - he must know quite a bit of German. In the Narrative Telephone game they have been playing, his story he made had like 12 German words in it.
Honestly kinda love Molly’s “I’ve absolutely been talking shit about you” and giving the twins a forehead kiss. It’s such a nifty character interaction
In the words of Obby the Rat: "I live with my wife, her mother, her mother, and her mother, and I hate them all, but we all get along, because we are family!"
I have to say, I love how they characterize each others' characters, even if they don't know them very well. It feels so authentic! For example, Molly's use of the line, "Yasha... Yasha-ed." to indicate this is something within Yasha's character and therefore unsurprising. Same thing with Beau saying, "I don't think I've seen you eat anything but sweets" to Jester. They just build off each other so well! It's amazing.
Sigh. Why am I not surprised the player who steals from party members when playing a cleric will choose Trickery Domain of a trickster deity. At least so far she has been supportive of party members and only bothered NPCs not crucial to the plot, i.e. not disruptive. Not my cup of tea but tolerable.
30noir they need an Wrong Accent jar on the table that they have to put a dollar in for every slip-up where they fall into their Campaign 1 characters.
Watching Tal mouth "f*ck" when Toya says that Molly didn't talk in the beginning, and Travis catching that, is pretty interesting and funny on a re-watch.
yes and i love how it seemed completely ad libbed and not really based on any background he wrote for the character, just riffing off of how the other players were like "oo Caleb he reads books you should be friends!"
@@scremmy_draws That's a possibility, but Fjord seems to be a hard to get type of guy. It probably won't be until much later in the campaign like episode 130-175. Either way I find two characters portrayed by an actual husband and wife having a romance in show/game to be sweet. It feels more organic that way.
He’s the tired dad, Jester is the over excitable, gullible kid. Beau is the overly deep teenager who tries to occasionally corrupt the child. Nott is the insane like middle schooler who is always causing the dad heart attacks. Molly is the sarcastic twenty year old son, who still hasn’t left home for college. Fjord is the sensible mother who really tries to keep everyone out of jail
OMG Marisha here reminded me of when I was DMing many years ago, and the players would try to do things that would certainly get them killed. I couldn't have made it clearer that they were bound with weapons at their throats and they would try to attack their captors etc. It made me have to think as fast as I possibly could to come up with ways that they wouldn't just stupidly die.
I'm officially invested in the stinky Caleb plot. What exactly does he smell like? How many people notice the stench? Will he ever bathe? Find out on Critical Role!
I agree, he has been one of my favourites last campaign and to see him playing such a smart character is such a joy! It's especially great for me to see him play a warlock, I'm very curious to hear his backstory.
I love the tonal shift between the first campaign and this one, in Vox Machina they are semi-well established members of society from the begining. And in this one, they are a group of strangers and nobodies filled to the brim with chaotic energy; whose low level makes them absolutley shit at everything. I love it!
Same here, that was what I thought and ended up becoming a bit confused when it lead to the outcome that it did. I thought I had misunderstood something, but as it turned out ... they did lol.
The fact that's there's subtitles to a video of *this length* floors me. It's awesome tho, kudos to whoever did that. You are a monster and I mean that in the most flattering way possible
Thank the Critical Role Transcripts project! They've been working for years writing up full transcripts of all the CR episodes which also get uploaded as captions. The full text transcripts also have descriptions of the emotions and mannerisms of the actors as they deliver the lines and Matt's descriptions of scenery basically written out like a script. It's super impressive.
Because I didn't find it: Actually buying a bowl that transmutes copper to silver pieces for 5 gold pieces would pay out after 56 days. (+9cp daily, 5gp = 500cp, 500/9 and rounded up is 56) Just to kill people's curiosity

2:53:48 As a German, this absolutely perfect, accent-free pronunciation of "Bis später" totally caught me off-guard. Wow. To anyone not knowing, it means "see you later" in English.
I’m learning german and for me it’s cool hearing it and knowing what it means
I can say it was a surprise, but the way he said it, you'd almost expect Caleb to suddenly start wearing 'lederhosen' and start talking about how his 'freundin' Nott causes lots of trouble or that he loves his 'bücher.'
The way he said it was kinda sexy tho
Lived in Bavaria and was completely excited when one of them said "Tschüss"
ThorsShadow - he must know quite a bit of German. In the Narrative Telephone game they have been playing, his story he made had like 12 German words in it.
“Don’t poke me with a fork!!”
“Done be such a baby!”
Holy shit i can’t stop laughing
>Scanlon hates goblins and trinket
>Nott is a goblin and loves trinkets
Gold, Sam, GOLD!
@Sean Stopher same world, different continents, different times. Campaign 2 takes place roughly 20 years after campaign 1.
That sweet irony, Sam is a legend when it comes to trolling
20 years is not really enough for attitudes to change as far as things like prejudice goes. But, seperate continents, sure.
@@isaacmiller3386 Sane PC different character is what they are talking about
@@isaacmiller3386 they also mentioned that goblins aren't really trusted thats why Nott wears a mask and is hooded most of the time.
I love how Nott and Jester find out that there is a literal demon and then proceed to interrogate everyone else.
Gives me the vibes of "I'm going to collect everything here before proceeding with the main quest."
Nott: Dont worry! I'll turn on the charm.
*50 seconds later*
Nott: Oi'm Lyin'!
"So you've been with the circus, since you were a child?"
"As long as I can reasonably remember" ... well he aint lying
"stealing sticks wont get you in trouble"
"yea but by sticks I mean people's canes and stuff"

Honestly kinda love Molly’s “I’ve absolutely been talking shit about you” and giving the twins a forehead kiss. It’s such a nifty character interaction
😢😢
I'm already in love with him again 😍
Ikr, such big brother enegery, really makes it believable they're like a family in that circus amazing performance
Tal's PC is female correct? Or just a female looking character? Confused on molly but love this. I started out here
@@wigglyennuiMolly is male. It’s sam’s pc, Nott, that is female.

"Are we under some kind of Holding-Arrest?"
"No! We're Inn-Carcerated."
Nice !🤣

"It doesn't alert him when *I* sneak in and out!"
"That you know of..."
"Wait what?"
That part was so cute XD
Vox Machina: We're sad and we hate ourselves but we love each other and we're family.
This group: CHAOS IS MY MIDDLE NAME!!!!
In the words of Obby the Rat: "I live with my wife, her mother, her mother, and her mother, and I hate them all, but we all get along, because we are family!"
And then came Bells Hells
I have to say, I love how they characterize each others' characters, even if they don't know them very well. It feels so authentic! For example, Molly's use of the line, "Yasha... Yasha-ed." to indicate this is something within Yasha's character and therefore unsurprising. Same thing with Beau saying, "I don't think I've seen you eat anything but sweets" to Jester. They just build off each other so well! It's amazing.
AniCat Gaming *pastries but thank u
Travis: "I'm not an ale kinda guy."

Absolutely in love with this character Laura has created. Just a completely chaotic, yet completely innocent little Tiefling.
Jester is hands down my favorite character so far. By a lot
It is a great chaotic character example.
Sigh. Why am I not surprised the player who steals from party members when playing a cleric will choose Trickery Domain of a trickster deity. At least so far she has been supportive of party members and only bothered NPCs not crucial to the plot, i.e. not disruptive. Not my cup of tea but tolerable.
I just hate the accent xD@@GeraldKatz

lol, I was at 3:22:11 when I read this comment. XD
Wasn't he making a joke because Travis slipped in to Grog for a moment. I think that's what they were laughing about.
30noir they need an Wrong Accent jar on the table that they have to put a dollar in for every slip-up where they fall into their Campaign 1 characters.
@@30noir That was exactly it.
I love the
Molly "It's a funny story."
Fjord " I like funny stories."
Molly "Me too."
Awkward pause
you can see talesin crafting that awkward pause in the couple seconds before, and the way his face lights up is always fantastic
What is the music at this scene?
When is Yasha coming back 😅
I come from the future where jester(laura) finds the word skinkydoodies in her note book and wonders why she had it written down.
Just now finished this episode (episode 2) as I’m starting this campaign and this is fucking hilarious to hear. From the past, I thank you.
Hmm
Something about the timestamp of the op and the recent comment doesn't add up....

Caleb's family barbecue
One of these days, I'm going to take the time to isolate that sound bite and make it the message alert for my phone.
Laura and Sam are the duo I never knew I wanted.
I mean, Sam can work with anybody.
Rad Wimp
Long live Team Nott & Jester!
Me. Too.
gjaddajg NOW THIS IS THE CONTENT I SIGNED UP FOR.
Trickster Clerics have great synergy with any type of Rogue, so I see that.
I love how good Sam is at prying information from the DM by asking NPCs what they think or feel about a situation instead of just what they know.
Molly sticking up for Jester's sillyness: "I dont see anyone but her making friends here."
"Frumpkin disappears from Nott's shoulder, and reappears next to the little man." The following scream made me choke on my food with laughter!
Mischa Lecter Poor Frumpkin :(
Time stamp please
I almost had a heartacat
Bad puns, lord I love em.
Bad puns, can’t get enough of em
Yeah, that went really catastrophically.
Travis playing fjord with a Texas accent is such an inspired choice. I love it so much
Justin Zymbaluk wait he’s in accent that just normal here
Well that’s how accents work.
when he accidentally slipped into his Grog voice at 3:22:55 I nearly died
It's crazy cause he sounds similar to mcree from overwatch, who mercer voice acted lol
Justin Zymbaluk I wanna buy a truck from Fjord with that voice
Watching Tal mouth "f*ck" when Toya says that Molly didn't talk in the beginning, and Travis catching that, is pretty interesting and funny on a re-watch.
Just starting the series and I'm interested in what tals reaction means
Do you have a timestamp for that?
@@Archangelous1337 3:53:50
Matt is so good at creating these tiny characters. The dude with the books was so likeable!
Jelboo I liked the solitaire guy at 1:59:00
I really liked the shopkeep at 2:53:38
I agree
yes and i love how it seemed completely ad libbed and not really based on any background he wrote for the character, just riffing off of how the other players were like "oo Caleb he reads books you should be friends!"
I felt so bad dor him, when he will now be looking for a book that doesnt exist :(
Whenever Jester says something extra cute, Travis just gets the best and most loving and adoring look on his face. It’s so great
I wonder if Jester and Fjord will be a couple by the end of the campaign.
He could be accidentally breaking character, since Travis and Laura are married
@@scremmy_draws That's a possibility, but Fjord seems to be a hard to get type of guy. It probably won't be until much later in the campaign like episode 130-175. Either way I find two characters portrayed by an actual husband and wife having a romance in show/game to be sweet. It feels more organic that way.
Zachary Gadzinski I’ve heard That Travis doesn’t like in game relationships
From Talks: Travis has said time and again, he does not want to RP a relationship. Laura took it as a challenge... with that known. Enjoy friends :)
Anyone else see caleb as the tired dad of the party
Like Bob from Bob's burgers 😅
Oh absolutely 🤣
He’s the tired dad, Jester is the over excitable, gullible kid. Beau is the overly deep teenager who tries to occasionally corrupt the child. Nott is the insane like middle schooler who is always causing the dad heart attacks. Molly is the sarcastic twenty year old son, who still hasn’t left home for college. Fjord is the sensible mother who really tries to keep everyone out of jail
Like Tony Stark 😂
Yeah I see that as well.
And so began the glorious shout of
"We play dungeons and dragoooooons"
A true legend
I can’t believe it the only took 2 episodes
I just finished campaign one and he starts doing it for like 2 episodes towards the end but stops. Glad to see it started again
Guards: "You've committed crimes against Trostwald and her people. What say you in your defense?"
Marisha: *tries to elbow guards*
Mrqwerty2109 then pay with your blood!
better them than Liam
this is the part WHERE YOU BLEED TO DEATH!!
OMG Marisha here reminded me of when I was DMing many years ago, and the players would try to do things that would certainly get them killed. I couldn't have made it clearer that they were bound with weapons at their throats and they would try to attack their captors etc. It made me have to think as fast as I possibly could to come up with ways that they wouldn't just stupidly die.
@@sjtez Personally let them learn, it is a game but actions have consequences and sometimes they necessary for character development
Fjord's voice is just MADE for that high Charisma.

I'm officially invested in the stinky Caleb plot. What exactly does he smell like? How many people notice the stench? Will he ever bathe? Find out on Critical Role!
It's how I imagine Brian Wayne Foster smells in real life.
You know I like seeing Travis play the smart one
It's pretty good, for sure.
I agree, he has been one of my favourites last campaign and to see him playing such a smart character is such a joy! It's especially great for me to see him play a warlock, I'm very curious to hear his backstory.
Travis is playing exactly what I was hoping for and more!
JoJo is not an anime Vox Machina didn’t have a leader (unless you count Vex as treasurer).
Seeing Travis in the driver's seat of a character with involvement in the world demonstrates how a character can have depth without seeming too anime
I remember when i first watched Critical Role, i was like "What!!? 4 hrs? ". Now, I'm like, " Only 4 hrs??"
Jester got away Scott free in the "So where did you come from?" volley. Not a single soul questioned her presence. Perfect Trickster Cleric.
Scott Free, better known as Mister Miracle
I love the tonal shift between the first campaign and this one, in Vox Machina they are semi-well established members of society from the begining. And in this one, they are a group of strangers and nobodies filled to the brim with chaotic energy; whose low level makes them absolutley shit at everything. I love it!
"It smells like Caleb down here"

Does Marisha do and say nonsensical things the whole campaign?

@Sean Stopher you think an AI interpreter was not only 100% accurate, but kept track of who was talking and the tone of their voice?
Thank the Critical Role Transcripts project! They've been working for years writing up full transcripts of all the CR episodes which also get uploaded as captions. The full text transcripts also have descriptions of the emotions and mannerisms of the actors as they deliver the lines and Matt's descriptions of scenery basically written out like a script. It's super impressive.
@Sean Stopher Lol thanks for the laugh.
