Sam, we asked about the character...
oof
Ahahahaha
"Also yes."
Made me spit up my coffee. Thanks. XD

New player to DnD : "Why do DnD sessions take 3-5 hours?"
Me, about to explain why it takes more than 1 hour to get out of the tavern : "Well, it's complicated"

Also Liam whenever anyone mentions that he is dirty: 😡
He doesn't mind being dirty, he just doesn't like them spreading the rumor that he's stinky.😂

Half the reason I never take it is because someone else usually does.

That's kinda the point. He's not a fan of being filthy, so of course that's the first thing he points out about himself
30 seconds ago, i listened to Matt close out Campaign 1. Thanks to the internet, it's always Thursday.
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
Yeah, I just finished the first campaign and went straight on to this one as well. Just gotta watch it before the Mighty Nein show comes out lol.
what it would be like to watch this campaign again for the first time! enjoy the journey!

When I started Campaign 2 I saw this comment.

I GET IT YOU MOTHERF-
Oh my God, there's no way Chetney was born from the first episode of C2.
Right?
@@DParkerNunya I'm just saying the gears were turning, that I'm sure of.
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.
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...
Yeah, I guess I'll watch 280 hours of multiple adults role-play.
Yeah, time to catch up on the story.

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.
Ok rewatching this, the smirk on Matt's face when Jester asked Caleb if he was gonna go to the academy. . . Gods damn
"...that's silly."
Hehehehe...
Jester immediately being enamored with Mollymauk is so sweet. She can just sense the chaos he brings to the world.

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 ^^

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.
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.
Me, 2020, really wants to start watching critical role, but how the hell am I going to find 300 hours to do that?
And now: Quarantine, day 1
Geraldo Neto, good luck my friend, I’m here for a rewatch of both campaigns because of quarantine
When they talked about no elderly or sick I was like oh it’s a corona showing
Fear not, for you are not alone
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)
hahahaha same
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
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! ^~^
Matt: Would you like to describe your character for me Liam?
Liam : Looks like its sad man time

@@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'.

Dice Rat also Travis.
Matt: Would you describe your character?
Travis: Yeah, I’m here, too.
... he isn’t WRONG, per se.
@@rcdehaai Liam didn't even say that?
No he didn't, that's the whole joke
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~
Me: Googling falchion
Sam: Google reports a wild surge in the searching of the word falchion.
Me: 👁👁 👀
Whenever I think of the word "falchion," my mind immediately goes to Fire Emblem.

20:26 - Caleb: "I'm prety filthy..." That's it. Your character for the rest of the campaign.
“Are you patronizing me, Mollymauk?”
“No, I hope you’re going to patronize us!”
- best comeback I’ve seen yet.

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.
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.
It's weird to realize, from day one, not one of these people knew how this campaign would go. There's no telling how far even this first episode would go. Nobody has a script or any instructions except Matt's notes on how he wants to try to push things and the players knowledge of their characters. Yet somehow they all managed to make not one, not two, but three plus seasons of iconic characters and moments fully enveloped in the world. All the props to you guys.

I’m coming to C2 after catching up with C3 and my god, Ashley seems to physically change with her characters! I’ve seen clips of C1 and bits of the eps where she’s present and it just wows me everytime. She seems to become Fearne and Yasha and Pike. I’m truly impressed
So true.
This is my second or third time watching campaign 2 after watching all of them and I totally agree. They almost all if not all have acting backgrounds but Ashley really flips a switch and becomes the character at the table for the scene with little breaks for laughter and bits, it’s a very rare and impressive skill in ttrpgs. I think anyone that’s complained about Ashley for being absent at times or needing support for rules or lore doesn’t appreciate how in demand she is for this level of work.

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.
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."

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.
1:24:00 Jester is devious! I was a bookseller for 3 years and people CONSTANTLY did that. The horror! Evil, EVIL woman!
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.
As someone just about to start watching this for the first time, thank you for letting me know I'm in for a good time ❤

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.

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!
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 ❤
Went from Trent being the most terrifying villain of all time to…. I guess we will just have to kill him this time.

"Sorry, it's my first time"
Jester, not even one hour into the first episode of the campaign: "I'M LOOKING FOR MY DAD"
Gotta say, one thing that’s really noticeable & wholesome in this episode is how much the group all love Ashley lol
Like, obviously they appreciated her in the first campaign. But at least some of that could be mistaken for “yay, our happy little healer is here!”
But here she’s introducing a more surly character and everyone still immediately loves her too.
It’s just funny
Ashley is a great role-player, she just unfortunately was so busy filming a tv series (Blindspot) that she was rarely there so they all celebrated any moment they could get with her.
Boy, rewatching this knowing ever backstory is a riiide
Yeah. I have vague memories of the story so I'm rewatching it before M9 reunited. Been wanting to re watch it anyways.
Sam: This is the accent I'm sticking with for the next 2 years!
*3 years later and still Nott done*
Veth
I mean, she doesn't have a cockney accent anymore
This is my first watch through so I have no idea who Veth is. Also, the Nott pun was gold and I wasn't going to give it up.
it's so funny seeing the evolution of accents. sam definitely kept the high scratchy voice but totally lost the british part lmao
@@isa382I'm just gonna say her speech changed with exposure to other accents maybe? When I moved to Colorado I definitely lost my Midwest accent over time. So that can happen naturally.
"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.
@@RewiredRecondite “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 poetic cinema of caleb's first damage given being NEIN! 👌
Starting this new campaign on May 8th, 2024. Commenting so I can look back when I finish this one
“A falchion.” “A what?”
Matt coughs in Chrom
Unfortunately that's not an actual falchion
@@Shadow-gc6le Yeah, Chrom's sword is just a weird long/broadsword with no guard
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.
That sounds like my character
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.
Larry Berry thank you for explaining.
Just re-watched this and noticed that Sam knew to speak halfling, that was a nice little wink.
Starting: 12/21/23
Finished: to be edited!
What are you on now?
Good luck and have fun my friend!
Tell us when you finish!
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
Yes, it has been almost two years.
Yes, I am incredibly late.
No, I don't care, I am still going to finally watch this.
Same boat, just finished campaign 1 last night. One day I'll be caught up
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 :)
Scarlet Rose same
Right here with you lol
Welcome to the fold! Long may he reign!
(Come back when you learn what that's from, and then come back when you learn what it means 👌)
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
First episode of Critical role I've ever watched, and damn that circus scene has me fuckin hooked with goosebumps by the way he was describing it. Can't wait for the rest!
Honestly, same. Started at the beginning of quarantine 2020 and i litteraly did not want to go to bed because that would be time wasted when i could be watching these idiots adventure throughout Wildemount
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🥰🥰
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."
Bro this is good😂😂
YEAH hahahah
SAME
A man of culture edit: they also have skyrim and witcher music player in the background im pretty sure :p
I would be halfway to hammerfell if it wasn't for you damned storm cloaks
"No weapons allowed"
Laughs in monk
And cleric, and wizard, and bladelock...
Army general: "You are unarmed."
20th Level Wizard: *Casts 9th Level Fireball.* "And you are unarmied."
Yes, I am aware of how terrible that joke was. I don't really care though.
And warlock
Diego Puertas Acosta “uh uh uh, monk. come here” *cuts fists off*
@@hermitpurple3224 and not my axe!
I discovered CR a year-and-a-half ago, and I *just* caught up on Bell's Hells. Now that I'm actually finally waiting for new episodes to air, I figured I would start up Mighty Nein, because why not? Let's do this!
Same!
im weirdly emotional stumbling onto this video again after so many years, what a journey, what a story, if anyone is here is new and just coming to this. Enjoy one of the best d&d campaigns ever created, and welcome to critical role
I am just starting to watch critical role. (I have seen dimension 20 and thought I'd give it a try) so it is good to know that this will be good.
Just starting it! After playing balders gate 😂
@@enternamehere142oh my gosh that’s so fun though! I hope you enjoy the story of the Mighty Nein 💖💖
My Dm: You roleplay too much
Critical Role: *Spends like 20 minutes role-playing right at the start*
You must challenge your DM to a duel and take the throne.
You can’t roleplay too much in a roleplaying game. If you were causing the people you are playing with to wait or to be uncomfortable with you that’s a different story. But the whole point of the roleplay is the immersion.
@@CAPGOD1 nah, I was just trying to settle into my character and stuff, wasn't rude or anything.
Your DM: You press too many buttons.
You, playing Dark Souls: ಠ_ಠ
"You roleplay too much"
It's a good thing this isn't a ROLE-PLAYING GAME.
Caleb's accent is so light, and Nott's is so strong. Years later, so much has changed
"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” 😭
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
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!
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
Silver Ackerman he's a professional charming person xD

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.
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
its so interesting rewatching this campaign and hearing how different some of their accents are. nott getting less cockney, caleb getting more german, yasha getting lighter nordic. pretty cool honestly watching them all settle into their characters again after knowing how everything turns out for them
Going through a hard time, and came back here for a soft place to land. This story means everything
same. comfort beyond belief
My feelings exactly, couldn’t have said it better.
jester: "oh caleb! are you going to go to the academy?!"
caleb: *internally screams from PTSD*
Yep.
*Kill Bill theme plays*
Chukles to hide the pain
spoiler warning
Oh? I don't know what that means but interesting.
Final kill of the last campaign: A very old man
First kill of the second campaign: Another old man
Never change, Critical Role
Then we'll know when we're exactly halfway through the third campaign's kills.
I wanna like but 69
Round 2 baby. Anyone in 2024 coming back for a C2 re watch? 😎
If so leave a comment on the comment I made on the last episode. How long will it take YOU to finish campaign two round 2
POV: you have played dnd exactly once in your life, came here because of the Vox Machina series, but don’t want (some) spoilers for Vox Machina, but want to experience Critical Role, so you started with campaign two like a madman and likely won’t get through two episodes let alone the campaign before the series
Yep. Sounds Abt right
"You are all the most charming people I've met in-- yes."
Molly, dropping hints Day 1.
And when they start asking Caleb about the academy. Matt's face is like "That ain't a good question to ask him."
Nice catch!
Is it a spoiler if i ask what you're talking about
@@sm3xym3xican76 a devastating one. Come back after episode 30 :)
@@Randomness823 will do, see you in a bit lol
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.
I thought it was frumpy not lumpy?
You don't have to repeat what they said. We heard.
@@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.
Yeah.
The made in England part confused me for a second ‘cause I didn’t see the figure lol
Who else is watching again to get ready for the animated version?
Beyond excited 🥺
Me!!!
I've just started watching, first campaign I'm seeing from them. They're animating this? Hell yeah!!
Oh yeah, I forgot about all the Geek and sundry ads for things. Idk if it's because Sam spoiled me but I remember these ones being better than they are, they kinda eh now idk why
@@arridexerandco yes! Amazon prime also has their other animated series centred around their previous campaign, Vox Machina :)) definitely recommend it and that campaign as a whole aswell when you’re done here!
New Critter here!
Having finished Season 1 recently.
Season 2 has 141 episodes, with a seven-hour long final episode. . . I don't feel really ready, but I think that's where the fun begins!
I applaud you for completing season one, i started watching crit role in 2020 and it took up most of my life the past three years
Same
I just finished the campaign like 5 days ago
Looking forward to the show but damn I'm gonna miss Percy
@@metacat_Jae I started in like 2017 and just now finished the first campaign.
@@biernarvods4099 Wow... it took me like 6 months. I think I might have wasted a bit too much time watching rather than doing anything else though (and I do watch on 1.5 speed just to make myself feel better about it lol).
When Beau asked Jester if she was superstitious, I half expected her to say, “I mean, I’m a _little_ stitious.”
Me too. THE OFFICE REFRENCE
@FrostCore Can something not be from The Office and be funny?
@FrostCore ...okay? I like them both also? I was just wondering why you acted like The Office didn't create the joke.
“I would like to rage”
Somewhere else in the realm, Grog suddenly lets out a cheer to the surprise of everyone around him

You're grog
We're all grog
so that is 5 grog's

Beau asking Yasha to hold her through the show and being told that costs five gold
Spoilers below
Turns out Beau gets an even better deal than just five gold for being held by Yasha
Sam saying “maybe it’s a little halfling person, maybe it’s not a goblin” at 26:20 is such a great little breadcrumb
"Maybe it's not a goblin. Maybe it's a halfling person." God damn it, Sam.
Episode freaking One.
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 ..
1:08:57 All I can think is
"What have you got there?"
"A KNIFE"
"NO"
Me too!😂

“Let me see what you have!”
“A knife!”
“NO”
