@@rcdehaai Right - there's no room to bring up highlights or discuss favorite moments on a public forum. What would you prefer? 'Wow, that sure was neat!' or 'That one moment, with those two characters was a good moment and I personally found it funny/poignant/significant'. You don't have to shit on other people. It's rude.
I'm watching for the first time too, although unrelated to quarantine lol. I live in the middle of nowhere, so life's just kinda continuing as normal (Although with nobody holding any sort of social events)
even crazier when you realize that in the trailer for this campaign Travis rolled a nat 20 and the first roll of this show was a nat 20... by Travis... i sincerely hope this isn't a bad omen
I love how Sam pretends to make a gag character without much thought behind her, but he’s actually playing the long game from the start. It’s inspiring, really.
what do you mean? this is basically the first DnD thing I've seen and I doubt I'll watch literally all of them...(maybe I will... lol) could you explain? I'm not concerned about spoilers.
I know. His previous character was him literally trying to make the worst possible character based on Liam's suggestions. Which later ended up being much deeper and one of the most crucial to the campaign. This one seemed like a joke character and then it turned out it had such depth and backstory, with multiple twists. OneDankind, there's really so much to cover that would take a long time explaining, so it's not for lack of giving spoilers, but basically, yeah it just seems like a silly fun character here, but later we will find out a lot of backstory, that shows Sam created the character with a lot of deep backstory, and lots of it is actually sad or tragic rather than just a silly little goblin girl.
Coming back to this video to say that I hope in the Mighty Nein animated series, the introduction dialogue between the characters is basically word for word- I have come back to this video many times for a good laugh- Nott saying she gets "squiggly", Jester telling Caleb he stinks, "How many gold did I get?" "Seven!" "Woo!", Yasha's deadpan, Molly's tarot reading. The whole thing is just gold.
I missed C1, but loved Vox Machina so i thought I would get into C2 before the Amazon prime series started, I just started watching and I already love Nott
They could literally use the sound from the episode itself if you ask me. Music included. The pillars soundtrack seems to just come in and support the scenes like magic. Little sad when it slowly replaced overtime by original stuff.
Yeah I hope they keep all of the Caleb's great moments at the start, Liam is so good at roleplaying, esp when you are on rewatch and remember this whole calm and non conflicting personality is all just a surface
@@Bb24138 Thats what Im trying to explain to you. Its not a skyrim reference. Its a completely basic thing to say when someone wakes up. He didnt even word it exactly like in the game. The others didnt laugh because of what he said, but because of how he said it.
Only because you've applied that meaning to it, didn't even pop into my mind until I read your comment to be honest. I like to immerse myself in the world they're in with them.
Actually, on further reflection of my previous comment, Id like to add: Whoever made the deal could almost show up drunk, sleep at their desk, and when the intern asks how he gets away with it someone says 'he got us advertised on critical role'.
The way he hesitated covering his face then cheekily drinks his mug really seems weirdly so clear and visible now... They're really good at foreshadowing without spoiling it.
Nott was much more cockney back at the beginning of the campaign, though. She's become higher pitched in tone and raspier in quality, more American in pronunciation.
Post-watching, character impressions. Travis: Alright Matt, if you want to keep giving me sentient weapons, I'll make a guy who *worships* his blade. Marisha: Okay, I've already done Aang, time to play Sokka. Liam: That's one sad boy down, on to the next one. Sam: :pulls out the copious notes he took from watching the Goblins! One-shot: Laura: Being the sane, sensible member of the party was fun and all, but what if I just play a total troll instead? Talesin: Percy *almost* sold his soul to the devil...let's make a devil he *would* have sold his soul to. Ashley: :looking directly at Travis: *I* would like to rage.
So basically. What I’m hearing is Travis: ? Marisha: ty Lee Liam: Zuko (both are emo) Sam: sokka Laura: korra? Talisin: katara? Ashley: torn between toph and azula Open to suggestions
Me, finally getting to campaign 2- "It's so weird seeing these guys play their new characters. I don't know if I'm ever going to get over how different this feels." Talliesin- "our circus doesn't admit the elderly." Me- "Ah. That's better."
They are nothing but consistent when it comes to hating old people and furniture, specifaclly doors. A common thread running through all 3 campaigns xD
I don’t know if Laura already knew she wanted that to be Jester’s accent, but I like to think she made that decision after hearing Sam’s character talk, and his reaction when Jester started talking was fantastic
It is so awesome that Matt doesn't brush over the carnival part with a "You-watch-the-carnival- it's-really-amazing-and-you-enjoy-yourselves-for-2-or-so-hours." but instead goes through the trouble of actually giving them the carnival experience with his amazing storyteller skills.
Playing against type is SO MUCH FUN! XD I've got multiple graduate degrees, teach college courses, know multiple dead languages, etc. but the most fun I've ever had was playing an INT 4 Barbarian.
He's probably the best overall at "playing the game" so to speak. He sticks to character, doesn't powergame, and works with the knowledge his character would have rather than what he as a player has.
I found this series because of the animated version of this scene. It was wonderful. Now I've only got about 50 4+ hours long videos to watch before I've caught up.
55 years old and played my first game today. I now understand the love for this game. I have a lot to learn. Not sure if there are others in my age group here. That table is BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you! I just can't believe I knew very little to nothing about it except that our son loves it. He is teaching me. I LOVE learning something new, especially when I see a community of super cool folks involved.😎
Old Wolf Logan Those two are the best choices though. Unless you also want to consider the complex relations between them, which could lead to a different choice.
Matt describing the different wooden textures of their new table. Travis: *takes notes* Matt mentions his Blood Rager class. Travis *adds another note*.
They had already encountered the Blood Hunter class, a guest player TOVA when Vox Machina was in the hells inside the prison dungeon was playing a blood hunter, and travis was LOVING all the flavor about it.
I come from the future to inform you that you shall soon know wonders beyond your dreams and terrors to chill your soul. Your heart will sore, it will break, you will laugh, cry, and shout with rage. But welcome to the family new, returning or old critter. We love you no matter how late you arrive :)
Nott: "Oh you are finally awake" My mind instantly: "You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."
Whether intentional or not, a hobo making something of himself would be more confident in how he speaks and a goblin that might not be used to speaking common would sound very foreign until they found a group of humans to socialize with on a regular basis. I think this was unintentional and just kind of happened when they got more comfortable with their voices.
Guts The Berserker Sure; just actors getting more confident (or relaxed) with their character’s accent. I know this, I just made the comment for the amusing comparison haha~
Yess omg me too its so weird the new voices, and the sudden distrust... I loved VM but this is new and fresh and I am very curious about where this will go
Note: Watching this (Dec. 2023) campaign for the 4th time. By far the best in terms of unbridled humor, funny Sam ads, storyline, and production (especially audio). Zero player drama, crestivity and emotions all around, even while getting through the infamous 2020 pandemic. This will foerever be the best campaign Crit Role has made, in my humble anonymous opinion.

I wish you a pleasant journey, love each other, and is it thursday yet.
What a journey it is! Just finished the VOD of the finale and just had to go back to the beginning. Don’t forget to love each other and is it Thursday yet?
Lauras ability to jump straight into character, be instantly comfortable and RP any situation is almost magical. Such a damn talent. Bless you 🎉Luara Bailey🎉 This show wouldn't be the same without her
I still think it's so funny that Nott got less cockney over time, while Caleb got more German. Like they only have a total of one accent that they have to share, so when one gets stronger the other fades.
Funny enough, Orym, Liam's C3 character, reminds me of Derrig, the Half-Elf fighter he did for Dalen's Closet, the epilogue of sorts for C1, and acting as Keyleth's bodyguard, even if they both knew she didn't need it even if Orym is a different race.
At this part of the campaign, I think it might have been Dani Carr. Later in the campaign they switched to a service or something and it's not nearly as accurate.
I don’t think I’m necessarily hard of hearing but I think I might have some auditory processing issues. I really wouldn’t be able to enjoy CR without them, would be constantly rewinding and still not understanding. Forever grateful.
As shikapup said, english subtitles were at the time written by an entire community, CRTranscript, which were just members of the community working for free. The other languages were translated on this base by another community, they continued for a while after CR switched to professionals for english subs but now with talk of youtube removing the ability for the community to give subtitles I'm not sure if they're still going. Still, give them all some love, this was an absolutely monstrous task
@@sybariticcupboardrat3763 Dani if I remember was the FIRST OG massive fan she had her own blog started around episode 5 of campaign 1 GnS asked her later on in the campaign to be the lore writer for there website and later on was asked by Ashley if she wanted to be part of the show more
Caleb: “His name is Frumpkin.” Jester: “Can I call him Lumpy?” Caleb: “No, You can call him Frumpkin.” Jester: “Look at this cute little Lumpy...made in England.” God I love them.
@@rcdehaai you don't have to give the same exact copy and pasted reply to everyone who quoted their favorite part of the video. It makes you look like a tool.
I notice that what makes this so great isn’t just Matt, it’s the players too. The players always stay focused and in character and only speak when necessary and when there’s a good time. But they crack jokes and laugh when it’s a good time too. Not only is Matt a great DM, but the players are great players too. That’s what really makes this great.
2:16:57 Looking back, I saw Caleb not clapping at the fire fairies’ performance at the circus. Then, slowly realizing his backstory. *_Genius Liam, Genius._*
Just finished Campaign 1 (Literally still crying from watching Dalens Closet), and I'm already ready to be hurt again by falling in love with these new characters. Mighty Nein here I come!
Years later and I just realized something. Every now and then, Caleb repeats back a word questioningly, as if he doesn't know what that word is. For example, at 1:10:41-1:10:57, he asks what a "training" game is. This is because common is Caleb's second language. His native language is Zemnian (German). The level of detail Liam puts into his characters is amazing.
Yeah, things like that is why Liam has always been my favorite character player... his attention to detail, creating back stories, and emotional depth is SOOOOOO compelling to watch.... also, knowing that he has used the game to help process his own personal hardships, as I have done, I just have a connection with his play style
I love his layers of acting too! Good catch with the first language implication. I also like to think he's referencing that while training he didn't get any consideration for not knowing how things worked. Like being thrown in the deep end versus being helped in the shallows. It fits how his education progressed and the price paid for that education, there were no "training games."

Tallulah Gray for me it's where Caleb's in the bookshop and tells the shopkeeper he gave away his 2 sp, after which Jester reminds him she gave them back. And he still continues on with his narrative like nothing's changed xD I found it funny because it shows how witty his character actually is and makes for a really good char building moment !

Hey there. Finished C1 like 5 hours ago - weeping and overwelmed by feelings. Now let's go on a new adventure. I heard so many good things about C2. Let's dive in
"Here in this sleepy trade stop along the amber road, a handful of wandering destinies slowly begin to intersect." Such a wonderfully worded beginning.
The amber thing filled my heart with joy 'cause I know Wildmount is supposed to be so pseudo-Eastern European and there's SUCH great fascinating history with amber trade routes throughout northern and eastern Europe, so as a reference point in the storytelling it was A+. (And the disappearance of the original Amber Room is one of my favourite historical mysteries.)
You tried to cross the border. You walked right into that imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there. Edit: Damn you Stormcloaks, Skyrim was just fine without you, Empire was nice and lazy.
@@WirelessMagician “shut up back there” “what’s wrong with him?” “Watch your tongue, your speaking to ulferic storm cloak, the true high king” “ulferic? The jarl of windhelm? Your the leader of the rebellion and… if they’ve captured you, oh gods where are they taking us”
Travis seems to have the biggest streaks in both directions, though. There are two separate occasions where he's had three nat 1s in a row: - once at the festival later in C2, at the carnival games. - once in Liam's one-shot, the screw job where they were all rogues; Travis was playing Tarvis the half-orc with a scimitar and some leadership qualities, and high Int... Hrm. That one-shot was statistically insane, Travis had at least seven nat1 rolls, and a bunch of other low rolls. So did everyone on one side of the table, but it was Travis with the nat1s.
This is how next level Mercer is. At 2:19:13 he turns to set the audio... He then proceeds to give this vivid 45sec description of the situation and as he says "...a soft, faint voice..." 2:20:00 , the BGM picks up and begins to sing. These nuances are amazing... This guy is SO badass at setting a scene.
My husband is a big fan and says this is peak campaign. I’ve wanted to watch for awhile but I have two small children and work from home full time, so the only time I have available to watch is in the morning while I get ready. (He listens while he works, alone and not at home. 🤪) So I’m secretly starting to watch and am looking forward to understanding all the references when I complete the campaign in five years. 😂 3/9/24 Just finished everything including the extra shows! 🤩 This was so worth it, and I managed to last 9 episodes before I had to share with my husband that I was watching. 😂 I couldn’t keep it in I was so excited. Starting campaign 1 today!
It’s so interesting to see how everyone‘s trying to figure out their character voices this early on. Like Nott used to have a very faintly British accent that I’m pretty sure is gone now, Caleb just got progressively more and more German, Yasha has a completely different accent now, and of course there’s Fjord. But I feel like Jester’s accent has always been and will always be the same XD
Jester is the reason I started critical role. Saw a compilation of her sendings and I was in love 😍🤣🤣 now I’m caught up and rewatching. This campaign is like LOTR for me once a year I watch it and feel all the feels🥰🥰
Caleb is definitely my favourite character so far, it’s hard to choose considering how absolutely wonderful everyone is, but the way he words his sentences is so enjoyable. “Yes, the coin is on the table, and on the table it shall stay.” “I gave away my silver pieces (no, I gave them back, remember?) I-uh, gave away my two silver pieces”
@@amitgabay3721 It's fairly common for someone to "quote" their favorite part of a video. The likes are basically just people saying "Yep, that was also a part I liked". It's not like they're saying Springbok was being clever or something. It's just nod to a particular scene.
I first watched C2 without C1. These people on the screen were weird strangers to me, playing an even weirder dice game. That was a long while ago, I watched all of this campaign and then went back to Vox Machina and now I return as a person who has learned to love D&D, learened so much about it, played tons of games and now as a DM. These people on this screen now have so much more of a deeper and emotional meaning to me as well as the characters that they play.
My first encounter was a compalation of the furniture battle of c3, didnt know who any of the people where and felt like c1 started in media res (because it was) and started this instead and fell in love with everything dnd

I know. His previous character was him literally trying to make the worst possible character based on Liam's suggestions. Which later ended up being much deeper and one of the most crucial to the campaign. This one seemed like a joke character and then it turned out it had such depth and backstory, with multiple twists. OneDankind, there's really so much to cover that would take a long time explaining, so it's not for lack of giving spoilers, but basically, yeah it just seems like a silly fun character here, but later we will find out a lot of backstory, that shows Sam created the character with a lot of deep backstory, and lots of it is actually sad or tragic rather than just a silly little goblin girl.

"Yes, I'm doing this fuckin' accent for the next two years!"
So, so much *nervous laughter*
Hey Jesse what’s up
Oh my God Caleb's accent is so light he literally sounds like an American who went to Germany twice
“I’m not a goblin” 😭
Coming back to this video to say that I hope in the Mighty Nein animated series, the introduction dialogue between the characters is basically word for word- I have come back to this video many times for a good laugh- Nott saying she gets "squiggly", Jester telling Caleb he stinks, "How many gold did I get?" "Seven!" "Woo!", Yasha's deadpan, Molly's tarot reading. The whole thing is just gold.
I missed C1, but loved Vox Machina so i thought I would get into C2 before the Amazon prime series started, I just started watching and I already love Nott
They could literally use the sound from the episode itself if you ask me. Music included. The pillars soundtrack seems to just come in and support the scenes like magic. Little sad when it slowly replaced overtime by original stuff.
@@milesmanges enjoy the journey! it goes by faster than you think!
Yeah I hope they keep all of the Caleb's great moments at the start, Liam is so good at roleplaying, esp when you are on rewatch and remember this whole calm and non conflicting personality is all just a surface
Campaign literally started with "Hey, you're finally awake..."
Haha
Love how everyone else instantly caught the reference
@@Guille2033 There was no reference. They laughed because of the accent he was doing
@@Kyurem97 it's a skyrim reference
@@Bb24138 Thats what Im trying to explain to you. Its not a skyrim reference. Its a completely basic thing to say when someone wakes up. He didnt even word it exactly like in the game. The others didnt laugh because of what he said, but because of how he said it.
“I was spotted by the crowns guard”
“Did you have your mask on?”
“No, no I didn’t” what a new context for 2020.
crown = corona 0_0
Biggest foreshadowing..
I thought the same thing.
Always wear a mask in the Coronas district
Only because you've applied that meaning to it, didn't even pop into my mind until I read your comment to be honest. I like to immerse myself in the world they're in with them.
The Marketing Director of DnD Beyond made the greatest decision of their life when they started sponsoring Crit role on this day.
Anyone who tried to shut down the deal probably is in a new job today.
Actually, on further reflection of my previous comment, Id like to add: Whoever made the deal could almost show up drunk, sleep at their desk, and when the intern asks how he gets away with it someone says 'he got us advertised on critical role'.
This is not how jobs work.
dude it's a joke
@@danielboatright8887 such nonsense
Sam saying: "Maybe it's not a goblin, maybe its a little hafling person or something." Hits differently now
Especially with the knowing look Liam and Sam exchange with each other.
The way he hesitated covering his face then cheekily drinks his mug really seems weirdly so clear and visible now... They're really good at foreshadowing without spoiling it.
Omg, yeeees
Matt also mentions Felderwinn (a town with a large Halfling population) right after...
Sam [high-pitched and hoarse]: Ya! I'm sticking with this accent for the next two years.
One year down. Long live Nott.
Nott was much more cockney back at the beginning of the campaign, though. She's become higher pitched in tone and raspier in quality, more American in pronunciation.
LONG LIVE THE GOBLIN GIRL
I’m like number 999 on this comment
Can I get a timestamp for the accent line?
@@bigfatcarp93 it's when they are introducing the characters at the start of the video.
Post-watching, character impressions.
Travis: Alright Matt, if you want to keep giving me sentient weapons, I'll make a guy who *worships* his blade.
Marisha: Okay, I've already done Aang, time to play Sokka.
Liam: That's one sad boy down, on to the next one.
Sam: :pulls out the copious notes he took from watching the Goblins! One-shot:
Laura: Being the sane, sensible member of the party was fun and all, but what if I just play a total troll instead?
Talesin: Percy *almost* sold his soul to the devil...let's make a devil he *would* have sold his soul to.
Ashley: :looking directly at Travis: *I* would like to rage.
Beauregard is more like the girl in pink from Azula's squad that hits everyone in the pressure points to paralyze them (Ty Lee)
So basically. What I’m hearing is
Travis: ?
Marisha: ty Lee
Liam: Zuko (both are emo)
Sam: sokka
Laura: korra?
Talisin: katara?
Ashley: torn between toph and azula
Open to suggestions
*Korra, not Sokka
Travis was so proud the first time Ashley raged.
@@camclemons I was about to say not sokka or ty lee but you’ve made me now realize why I hate Beau so much. She’s Korra. I despise Korra
Me, finally getting to campaign 2- "It's so weird seeing these guys play their new characters. I don't know if I'm ever going to get over how different this feels."
Talliesin- "our circus doesn't admit the elderly."
Me- "Ah. That's better."
Rational Roundhead An old person is the first kill to. I know this gon’ be good
🤣🤣🤣👌
They are nothing but consistent when it comes to hating old people and furniture, specifaclly doors. A common thread running through all 3 campaigns xD
It’s like we never left. 😂😂
...oh. oh dear.
I don’t know if Laura already knew she wanted that to be Jester’s accent, but I like to think she made that decision after hearing Sam’s character talk, and his reaction when Jester started talking was fantastic
If I remember correctly, she once said it was a voice she jokingly did around her home.
Laura actually played Jester before in a couple one shots.
"Little girls tend to not go around telling people that they're little girls."
"It's my first time!"
“They’re sneakier than I thought!”

It is so awesome that Matt doesn't brush over the carnival part with a "You-watch-the-carnival- it's-really-amazing-and-you-enjoy-yourselves-for-2-or-so-hours." but instead goes through the trouble of actually giving them the carnival experience with his amazing storyteller skills.
And as it turns out, he was telling the story of Uko'toa and co. - talk about the long game!
He’s an amazing DM
@@Halbam You wouldn’t think it would be that important but this is a *really* long game after all.
Not to mention mini games!
His description of the carnival is what fully sold this to me.
Seeing Sam, the most chartismatic human I've ever seen, playing a CHA 5 character is really going to be a highlight this campaign
Playing against type is SO MUCH FUN! XD I've got multiple graduate degrees, teach college courses, know multiple dead languages, etc. but the most fun I've ever had was playing an INT 4 Barbarian.
He's going to be the most socially awkward charming person

He's probably the best overall at "playing the game" so to speak. He sticks to character, doesn't powergame, and works with the knowledge his character would have rather than what he as a player has.

55 years old and played my first game today. I now understand the love for this game. I have a lot to learn. Not sure if there are others in my age group here. That table is BEAUTIFUL.
Welcome to the world of TTRPGs
You are not the only one in our age group. Welcome to the game.
Thank you! I just can't believe I knew very little to nothing about it except that our son loves it. He is teaching me. I LOVE learning something new, especially when I see a community of super cool folks involved.😎
I will be 54 in June and have been playing for a little over 4 decades, and I am far from the only one.
Age is just a number when it comes to doing something you enjoy. I'm glad you're having fun and all! ^~^
"Do you know my name?!"
"...whats your name?"
"JESTER :D"
"I know your name now!"
":OOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
I love jester
delphox Ah, the original best character and the replacement best character. I wish they’d interacted more.
But WHAT'S HER MOTHER'S NAME
Sophie Hannah Martha
I was going to say that I would love to have Jester and Molly as best friends, but really, I could say that about any member of the Mighty Nein.
Old Wolf Logan Those two are the best choices though. Unless you also want to consider the complex relations between them, which could lead to a different choice.
Everyone freaking out at everyone else's character voices is THE most adorable thing

Early Nott: Cockney AF.
Early Caleb: Soft hint of German.
Current Nott: Soft hint of cockney.
Current Caleb: German AF.
That evolved over the course of just this episode
I came back to this video for nott's accent.
There’s just one episode to go to for Molly’s accent, finally discovered, and it’s a sad one,,, all good things come with prices it seems
Whether intentional or not, a hobo making something of himself would be more confident in how he speaks and a goblin that might not be used to speaking common would sound very foreign until they found a group of humans to socialize with on a regular basis. I think this was unintentional and just kind of happened when they got more comfortable with their voices.
Guts The Berserker Sure; just actors getting more confident (or relaxed) with their character’s accent. I know this, I just made the comment for the amusing comparison haha~
35:37 The first roll of the second campaign, like the last roll of the first campaign is done by the same person and with the same result. Uncanny.
“I would hate if I smelled that bad and someone didn’t tell me”

what it would be like to watch this campaign again for the first time! enjoy the journey!
Don't skip "the search for Grog" one shot!
Same!
Note: Watching this (Dec. 2023) campaign for the 4th time. By far the best in terms of unbridled humor, funny Sam ads, storyline, and production (especially audio). Zero player drama, crestivity and emotions all around, even while getting through the infamous 2020 pandemic. This will foerever be the best campaign Crit Role has made, in my humble anonymous opinion.

Indeed, and everything hits different. The first mention of the Cerberus assembly and Caleb/Liam's face was amazing.
I have such respect to the guy that spends time making the subtitles.
At this part of the campaign, I think it might have been Dani Carr. Later in the campaign they switched to a service or something and it's not nearly as accurate.
There's a full team. CRTranscripts. All volunteers.
I don’t think I’m necessarily hard of hearing but I think I might have some auditory processing issues. I really wouldn’t be able to enjoy CR without them, would be constantly rewinding and still not understanding. Forever grateful.
As shikapup said, english subtitles were at the time written by an entire community, CRTranscript, which were just members of the community working for free. The other languages were translated on this base by another community, they continued for a while after CR switched to professionals for english subs but now with talk of youtube removing the ability for the community to give subtitles I'm not sure if they're still going.
Still, give them all some love, this was an absolutely monstrous task

I'm going through this with you.
How’s your journey going?
Years later and I just realized something. Every now and then, Caleb repeats back a word questioningly, as if he doesn't know what that word is. For example, at 1:10:41-1:10:57, he asks what a "training" game is. This is because common is Caleb's second language. His native language is Zemnian (German). The level of detail Liam puts into his characters is amazing.
omg i never realized this!
Yeah, things like that is why Liam has always been my favorite character player... his attention to detail, creating back stories, and emotional depth is SOOOOOO compelling to watch.... also, knowing that he has used the game to help process his own personal hardships, as I have done, I just have a connection with his play style
soy
@@SoyDrinker *soy*
I love his layers of acting too! Good catch with the first language implication. I also like to think he's referencing that while training he didn't get any consideration for not knowing how things worked. Like being thrown in the deep end versus being helped in the shallows. It fits how his education progressed and the price paid for that education, there were no "training games."

Tallulah Gray for me it's where Caleb's in the bookshop and tells the shopkeeper he gave away his 2 sp, after which Jester reminds him she gave them back. And he still continues on with his narrative like nothing's changed xD I found it funny because it shows how witty his character actually is and makes for a really good char building moment !
You don't have to repeat what they said. We heard
@@rcdehaai Right, there's no room to bring up highlights or discuss favorite moments on a public forum. What would you prefer? 'Wow, that sure was neat!' or 'That one moment, with those two characters was a good moment and I personally found it funny/poignant/significant'.
You don't have to shit on other people. It's rude.
@@rcdehaai Hah what kind of person whines like this? You sound like a sullen teenager XD.
@@dariensampson7913 i have an odd feeling that they are the same person because i've seen the exact same encounter in other comments highlighting moments in this video
After the Mighty Nein live show reunion this week its crazy to come back to the first episode to see how far they've come/changed 🥰
Same here! I'm still so pumped up after the show that I'm starting a rewatch of the whole campaign. Feels good to be back with the Mighty Nein ❤
I just finished the main campaign this weekend and wanted to go back to episode 1 to relive it. It’s great to watch them
2:50:55 Nott attempts to pickpocket a citizen in the middle of a fight
*Ashley Johnson will remember that*
I love all the C3 viewers back to re-watch C2 😂
@@Matisyahuwu I'm on S1, E65 now but I need a change of pace. I might have found a game to join 5 minutes walk from me! I haven't been able to find players or DM since 91. 😁😬😰🤯 Feeling all this because my first game is tomorrow night!!! Critter for life!
How did it go???
Hope it went well @@paulvamos7319
HA!
I know this is over a year late but that look of pure joy on Travis' face when Ashley say "I would like to rage" is the best
No such thing as being too late for the best thing. :)
trident042 Tell me about it LOL, literally just starting to watch this
eli taylor welcome to the group XD I started bout 5 months ago XD
Firsties here too
Laura: "sorry for taking some of your money"
Travis: "ok give it back"
Laura: *"why though i won it"*
Sam: "your Laura is showing"
Jester*: "sorry for taking your money"
Fjord: "ok give it back"
Laura: "why though I won it"
Rewatching this and laughing when Tal/Molly says, "I'm merely a vessel for higher powers." Oh the foreshadowing..
Eye have no idea what you’re talking about
TALIESIN : “I am simply a vessel for higher powers”
...
MATT: “Mhmmm” *looks knowingly at Taliesin*
I've been looking for this comment
@@CarlosAlvarado-xt3mf same
did you see the new episode? C2 ep 121!
Forshadowing master
Ya, that's an understatement
1:52:44
Jester: "All of us are really strong."
Caleb and Nott in unison:
“yEAh, i’M stiCkiNG WiTH thIs ACCent fOR THe nExT TWO yEARs”
Don't believe in his lies
did he?
@@nicolasrodriguesdossantos1881 he didn't?
He didn't
Haveing seen the whole season so far sams accent hasnt changed very much
Hey there. Finished C1 like 5 hours ago - weeping and overwelmed by feelings.
Now let's go on a new adventure. I heard so many good things about C2.
Let's dive in
"Maybe it's not a goblin. Maybe it's a halfling person." God damn it, Sam.
Oh my god. Two years!
yes i picked up on this now. Damn that's great foreshadowing
Right? And Sam checking with Matt, "Uh.... I know halfling, right?" LUL
Can you stop posting spoilers under the FIRST FUCKING EPISODE ..
@Danny Dolan Sam Riegel is no stranger to the long game...
Nott: *wears a mask*
2020: you're about... 2 years too early
Nott: *drunkenly hiccups* HAH! THATS... THAT.... I forgot what I was gonna say
Omg- why didn’t they make NOTT masks when they made masks?!
@@ambiej123 I so want this now!
How did I guess this?
"Here in this sleepy trade stop along the amber road, a handful of wandering destinies slowly begin to intersect." Such a wonderfully worded beginning.
XxLoneWolfexX So lovely.
The amber thing filled my heart with joy 'cause I know Wildmount is supposed to be so pseudo-Eastern European and there's SUCH great fascinating history with amber trade routes throughout northern and eastern Europe, so as a reference point in the storytelling it was A+. (And the disappearance of the original Amber Room is one of my favourite historical mysteries.)
GotLostProductions I didn't know that! How interesting!
Matt is amazing at atmosphere and world building and I can't wait to sit and enjoy the ride every Thursday.
It gave me goosebumps and I couldn't fucking stop smiling. Matt is a master at what he does I stg
"You're finally awake."
- Nott, FIRST FREAKING SENTENCE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
You tried to cross the border. You walked right into that imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there. Edit: Damn you Stormcloaks, Skyrim was just fine without you, Empire was nice and lazy.
@@WirelessMagician “shut up back there” “what’s wrong with him?” “Watch your tongue, your speaking to ulferic storm cloak, the true high king” “ulferic? The jarl of windhelm? Your the leader of the rebellion and… if they’ve captured you, oh gods where are they taking us”
The first roll of this campaign and the last roll of the previous campaign were both Nat 20's and both by Travis. He's the true Critical Roll Master
Critical roll chad
Damn right :D He and Taliesin always had some of the best freakin' luck with Natural 20's!
Marisha getting the last kill and the first kill is also a fun mirror
Travis seems to have the biggest streaks in both directions, though. There are two separate occasions where he's had three nat 1s in a row:
- once at the festival later in C2, at the carnival games.
- once in Liam's one-shot, the screw job where they were all rogues; Travis was playing Tarvis the half-orc with a scimitar and some leadership qualities, and high Int... Hrm.
That one-shot was statistically insane, Travis had at least seven nat1 rolls, and a bunch of other low rolls. So did everyone on one side of the table, but it was Travis with the nat1s.
There's a reason they made him CEO after all
This is how next level Mercer is.
At 2:19:13 he turns to set the audio... He then proceeds to give this vivid 45sec description of the situation and as he says "...a soft, faint voice..." 2:20:00 , the BGM picks up and begins to sing. These nuances are amazing... This guy is SO badass at setting a scene.
My husband is a big fan and says this is peak campaign. I’ve wanted to watch for awhile but I have two small children and work from home full time, so the only time I have available to watch is in the morning while I get ready. (He listens while he works, alone and not at home. 🤪) So I’m secretly starting to watch and am looking forward to understanding all the references when I complete the campaign in five years. 😂
3/9/24 Just finished everything including the extra shows! 🤩 This was so worth it, and I managed to last 9 episodes before I had to share with my husband that I was watching. 😂 I couldn’t keep it in I was so excited. Starting campaign 1 today!
It’s so interesting to see how everyone‘s trying to figure out their character voices this early on. Like Nott used to have a very faintly British accent that I’m pretty sure is gone now, Caleb just got progressively more and more German, Yasha has a completely different accent now, and of course there’s Fjord. But I feel like Jester’s accent has always been and will always be the same XD
Jester and her voice is heavenly so it better not change
Yeah, idk if people realize how amazing Laura is at voice work.
@@Eorzat Travis is a Cell from a DBZ VO. Let that sink in, Grog is Cell.
Andrew And Laura is kid Trunks. Let THAT sink in.
And of course Taliesin never really figured out Molly's accent.
I like how excited everyone gets before Taliesen introduces himself, because they know what a good RPer he is.
"I am a little goblin girl." -Sam
The_Avid PC_Gamer also Sam in the first campaign: I hate all goblins they must die
Aren't we all really just a little goblin inside?
@@amiablereaper
Dont tell goblin slayer 😙
Short and stout
You don't have to repeat what they said. We heard.
Jester is the reason I started critical role. Saw a compilation of her sendings and I was in love 😍🤣🤣 now I’m caught up and rewatching. This campaign is like LOTR for me once a year I watch it and feel all the feels🥰🥰
Caleb: “Good luck at the academy. That’s rough, I hear”
Oh boi
That’s rough buddy
F O R E S H A D O W I N G
I just about died when Liam said that. Shit like this is why you gotta rewatch, so you can catch these hints of what's to come.
Caleb is definitely my favourite character so far, it’s hard to choose considering how absolutely wonderful everyone is, but the way he words his sentences is so enjoyable. “Yes, the coin is on the table, and on the table it shall stay.” “I gave away my silver pieces (no, I gave them back, remember?) I-uh, gave away my two silver pieces”
i found him a bit bland at first but now he is my Son Whom I Love Very Much
♥️ gaara
Nott: "I have a pair of fours."
Jester: "I have three fives!"
Nott: "I draw my shortsword."
Beau: "I immediately grapple him."
why did this get 375 likes?
like whats the joke here?
@@amitgabay3721 nott is a woman, beau said "him".
@@amitgabay3721 the fourth line is a bit unnecessary really. Its just Nott losing at dice and drawing a weapon suddenly
@@colebecker7832 what I struggle with is this has 450 likes
@@amitgabay3721 It's fairly common for someone to "quote" their favorite part of a video. The likes are basically just people saying "Yep, that was also a part I liked". It's not like they're saying Springbok was being clever or something. It's just nod to a particular scene.
0:40:08 of course Nott would know halfling. It's amazing what you pick up on a rewatch.
Before I knew what happens in the future, I'd assumed it was a trick to pass off as a halfling more consistently. The beauty of rewatches indeed.
THE ANIMATED SERIES JUST GOT ANNOUNCED SO NOW I HAVE TO WATCH THIS BEAUTIFUL MESS AGAIN. I AM SO HAPPY AND I HAVE NO ONE TO SHARE IT WITH
And me!
Same here! It’s so fun watching this from the beginning!
a campaign 2 animated series?
@Bones Mcgee yeah man, you been under a rock? Mighty Nein is getting animated!
I knew about Vox Machina but not this. That’s exciting! I can’t wait to watch ^^
Best part of the episode:
Sam "She uses a different dice for everything, is that what I'm dealing with now Travis?"
Travis "You're not even ready."
I just discovered these guys and now I have several years worth of this to catch up on.... wish me luck everyone
Just finished season 1. Its awesome! Don't read the comments if you hate spoilers.
Dude same
me too 😭
Best of luck, and enjoy.
You're in for a ride! Have fun!
I first watched C2 without C1. These people on the screen were weird strangers to me, playing an even weirder dice game. That was a long while ago, I watched all of this campaign and then went back to Vox Machina and now I return as a person who has learned to love D&D, learened so much about it, played tons of games and now as a DM. These people on this screen now have so much more of a deeper and emotional meaning to me as well as the characters that they play.
My first encounter was a compalation of the furniture battle of c3, didnt know who any of the people where and felt like c1 started in media res (because it was) and started this instead and fell in love with everything dnd
