This channel is so useful, I miss so many streams being in the UK, the only one I make sure I watch is the podcast, thanks for putting all this work in!
Same, I make sure to be there for the co-optional stuff, but I can't always watch his other streams although I do catch some every once in a while. This is so useful to get those kinds of streams.
NSlasher I actually heard of this channel from one of TB's videos. He mentioned a live stream and said that if anyone missed it they could watch it on this channel. He doesn't just not oppose it, he supports it :)
I love this game, so punishing, every god damn mission is a struggle for survival, and even when you complete them without getting anyone killed, you still have to worry about their sanity.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: A vestal, a plague doctor, an occultist and a jester walk into a dungeon and the dungeon master asks: "Who's good at disarming traps?"
Well it's just the RNG can be brutal, you can go on runs where you feel great and get little stress and get into a safe mindset, then suddenly you'll be plunged into the depths of insanity when they get a lucky run of crits.
What I like about this kind of game that XCOM kind of disappoints me in is that XCOM you can lose the game. Where as Roguelike titles such as this just keep going, you can lose a fight but then you go back and keep trying.
Fuck this is lovecraft as all hell; even the language they use: "There's a sickness in the cobbles of the road", "damnably transcendent" etc. souds like something outta Dunwich Horror or Arkham Horror.
+AngryAngry Ancom this piece of art is perverted, decrepit and full of evill blasphemy. like when ghouls dance and howl on lone graveyards and wraiths moan and wail ´neath the pallid, daemoniac moon and the death creep in unholy, crypts, fill´d with foul fungi, and a rancid odour blows thro´ forgotten, old graveyards´. who should not enjoy and revell in this ghoulish, uncanny and sickening pleasures, only a true master and connosoir of the macabre can find enjoyment in such things, the vulgar and dull boor will onlie shudder and tremble with stupid fear
The very first thing I thought of when I watched the first few minutes of this stream was 'Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay'. The second thing I thought was Solomon Kane. I already want this game.
Peisen Xu You do realize it was a first-look on one of the earliest versions of this game? TB went in completely blind, basically... or are you saying this because you know how obnoxious it is and how TB hates these kinds of comments? :D
I'd recommend the following: 12 Food 8 Torches 1-3 Shovels 3-5 Bandages 3-5 Antivenom 2-3 Skeleton Keys 1-3 Medicinal Herbs 0-2 Holy Water Double what you'd normally take if it's a Medium SIze Dungeon (aka. 1 Camping available) and Triple in case of a Large Sized Dungeon (2 Camping available) It costs more, but you're better set for what might happen and should all in all gain more than is lost compared to not bringing it.
well, i get a good income in total from safe exploration/looting from lootable items, my characters get to live and level up, and there's even cash enough to upgrade gear, skills, etc. On average i spend around 3-6k per quest on items, of which i mostly always get returned in full by the quest reward itself and then any extra loot is completely spendable. It works, it keeps the heroes alive, and the monetary output is very high. I had a run where i had 4 spaces filled with 1500 gold each, i had 4 rubies (that's 4k total) 8 Onyx, some Heirlooms and a few shovels, bandages, food and a torch i hadn't used. all in all, that run netted me out on around 15000 (minus the 5-6k spend on the items). I had 8k left from prior quest-start (after provisioning), so i had 18k to fool around with (leaving 5k behind for next provisioning). you call it a waste of money, i call it foolproof income.
+Cute Thundergod even alter than you are, but consider that if all you need is 1 hero healed, then 5 is better than 2- plus its better with +Heal% items as well
Wow, when they said that you could fail the tutorial, I wondered how that would even be possible... now I know. Massive crits from the enemy and misses/resists from your guys.
+Matt Graham Inside every Oreo there is a glimmer of light, the bright white vanilla-flavoured fondant of hope & salvation. The darkest biscuit is clearly the Penguin, a bar of pure darkness and chocolatey goodness.
Lynneiah The characters are flawed, shes not particularly pious most likely. Every character has a reason for being in this game and not in better locations.
The RNG this game has given me is so bad. Crit, crit, here, take 30 stress too. Then pay 1k in trying to help them aid their ailments. I really am wanting to love this game, but....
'I didn't know...' Is such a an overused recurring 'term' in this video and it's so silly because when you take the time and hover over abilities, your answers are already answered. Yet, that never happens and the 'chat' has to help out. It's nice seeing someone else's perspective but it's so cringe worthy when the player doesn't take a few seconds to try and find things out.

Agreed, also tb is aware that this channel exist and doesnt seem to oppose to it, because hes a boss.

I really like the comic book/graphic novel style high contrast black shadow artstyle. Wish more games used it as well as cel shaded
RIP
I miss you TB, I always pray to the creator when I remember you.
RIP
I love this channel because it lets me watch more TB content.

Wow, I had no idea how unforgiving that first portion could be. I beat it and saved both my dudes xD
I did it as well. It was very easy.
It's not perfectly balanced yet, sadly. Crits in the tutorial can fuck you over majorly.
My Highwayman survived with one hit point. T'was an effective introduction, but perhaps not the best in terms of balance.
Well it's just the RNG can be brutal, you can go on runs where you feel great and get little stress and get into a safe mindset, then suddenly you'll be plunged into the depths of insanity when they get a lucky run of crits.

Matthias Maier Dats guud :D
(Slight change in tone, but still, dats guud)
+AngryAngry Ancom I just beat the game. The ending is VERY Lovecraftian
Excellent Game. The narrator is golden.
RIP
Ok, TH-cam CC makes the opening scene of this WAY better!
Thanks for the upload, I was only able to catch the last bit of this stream.
RIP
1:02:58 "Fuck it, let's just murder people" - TotalBiscuit, 2015.
RIP
Lol best Tutorial ever.
Lesson One: You're F*&%$# DEAD!
The very first thing I thought of when I watched the first few minutes of this stream was 'Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay'. The second thing I thought was Solomon Kane. I already want this game.
RIP
"Darkest..." **pauses in thought** "...Biscuit."
Aaand **like** lol
For some reason I have problems streaming from Twitch, this channel is great. Thanks old chap.
RIP
27:48 Total Amazing!
"Aha! A torch. Thank fuck." :D
This game in a nutshell, even now, in 2018.
"The Darkest Bisquit Estate" is a hilarious name for a house
Week 29 Reynauld and Dismas are my strongest.
Much obliged
Thanks for the upload
This game used to be hilariously impossible.
This is great, I missed this stream and had no idea TB played Darkest Dungeon. I've been wondering his opinion on it. Thanks, O Unofficial channel.
RIP
So many sub optimal plays. I kind of want to cry right now.
Peisen Xu You do realize it was a first-look on one of the earliest versions of this game? TB went in completely blind, basically... or are you saying this because you know how obnoxious it is and how TB hates these kinds of comments? :D
idiot
"We are not dead and we are not insane! Good!"
Huh... this is the first time I've seen or heard of someone losing the tutorial that's some insane bad luck.
I'd recommend the following:
12 Food
8 Torches
1-3 Shovels
3-5 Bandages
3-5 Antivenom
2-3 Skeleton Keys
1-3 Medicinal Herbs
0-2 Holy Water
Double what you'd normally take if it's a Medium SIze Dungeon (aka. 1 Camping available) and Triple in case of a Large Sized Dungeon (2 Camping available)
It costs more, but you're better set for what might happen and should all in all gain more than is lost compared to not bringing it.
i never take the heal items i tend to throw them away anyways
you can use them on a lot of loot-events to protect yourself from any of those nasty RNG events :P
Bringing all of that shit is a total waste of money.
well, i get a good income in total from safe exploration/looting from lootable items, my characters get to live and level up, and there's even cash enough to upgrade gear, skills, etc.
On average i spend around 3-6k per quest on items, of which i mostly always get returned in full by the quest reward itself and then any extra loot is completely spendable.
It works, it keeps the heroes alive, and the monetary output is very high.
I had a run where i had 4 spaces filled with 1500 gold each, i had 4 rubies (that's 4k total) 8 Onyx, some Heirlooms and a few shovels, bandages, food and a torch i hadn't used.
all in all, that run netted me out on around 15000 (minus the 5-6k spend on the items).
I had 8k left from prior quest-start (after provisioning), so i had 18k to fool around with (leaving 5k behind for next provisioning).
you call it a waste of money, i call it foolproof income.
TheAngryDanishViking I would say go lighter on Torches. From what I have seen 3 torches for a small is more than sufficient.
I'm a bit late to the party but:
single target heal is inferior to group heal because at the bottom line group heal heals 4-8 as opposed to 3-5
+Cute Thundergod even alter than you are, but consider that if all you need is 1 hero healed, then 5 is better than 2- plus its better with +Heal% items as well
Thanks again for posting this. By any chance, did you catch the unannounced stream he did later this evening?
No, but if there is a vod of it I will upload it, I'll start working on it when I get home.
RIP@@TotalbiscuitStreams
Wow what an unlucky start :) I hope he makes a video on this game when it is done, really good game.
RIP
That was th e most brutal RNG I've seen in the tutorial, the devs should gate that part so that you're not put at such a horrible disadvantage
RIP
Other then the start, it would appear RNG Jesus favors Biscuit.
i need to chose between this and Hand of fate, what should i buy?
Holy shit, that was a really unlucky start.
Can you please upload the Co-optional lounge stream or at least ask TB if he is gonna upload it in his channel?
You can watch it on Crendor or Dodgers channel I think
ty ^^
Are you required to takes those traits when levelling up?
Yes :D
Just wanted to say..RIP Reynauld (Week 1 - week 48)
You (and the trinkets you were wearing) will be missed
RIP
Love that he made Genna the one with rabies and the yips :D
Wow, when they said that you could fail the tutorial, I wondered how that would even be possible... now I know. Massive crits from the enemy and misses/resists from your guys.
RIP
I would prefer an initiative roll system to just "Lol totally random"
He found an ancestral trinket on his second mission??
+Dorkface McGee Yeah, but then Dodger gambled and lost it. TB's luck isn't *that* amazing.
Well, he managed to not get punished for running an occultist as a front line tank, so his luck is kinda amazing.
Oh the pain!
It says you can't run during the tutorial...
53:00 Holy shit I'm so jealous right now
Did you watch until the end?
How the Darkest Dungeon loves to toy with us.
Dell Conagher Oh I did. It was great.
Oh and TB, what do you think of the Soundtrack for the game? It's very sparse but VERY good in my opinion. :3
this game is fucking awsome i love it. thanks for the stream dude!
Not sure if you know, this is a channel that posts streams from Totalbiscuit, but Totalbiscuit himself doesn't run the channel.
I do know that. Also, fallout new vegas is awsome
A world of Warcraft version of this with all the classes and abilities from wow would be AMAZING
I always pretend it’s wow when I’m playing
I tried playing this game and I got my ass handed to me, it is hardcore and reminds me of playing games like Eye of the Beholder and such growing up.
RIP
Hmm, anyone have any suggestions as to what IS actually the darkest biscuit?
An Oreo? or is there a darker biscuit?
+Matt Graham Inside every Oreo there is a glimmer of light, the bright white vanilla-flavoured fondant of hope & salvation. The darkest biscuit is clearly the Penguin, a bar of pure darkness and chocolatey goodness.
Panzerbeards
There is clearly a sinister side to those penguin jokes...
Genna the Vestal literally is Genna the virgin. Lol.
Conan the Destroyer. XD
I very much doubt Vestals are virgins. What with them going to brothels and whatnot.
Lynneiah The characters are flawed, shes not particularly pious most likely. Every character has a reason for being in this game and not in better locations.
Lynneiah Yeah one of my Vestals was a Nympho so she got bonus stress relief in the brothel. haha
Belvie Every game I've played I've had at least one Vestal with Nymphomania at one point.
Thanks for posting the gameplay. Love the commentary. I posted my Theme music here: th-cam.com/video/UpIBKNxSeZU/w-d-xo.html
RIP
The RNG this game has given me is so bad. Crit, crit, here, take 30 stress too. Then pay 1k in trying to help them aid their ailments. I really am wanting to love this game, but....
this game is so hardcore the 2nd tutorial monster can kill your party.
No TB WHY, WHY WOULD YOU NAME THEM? It is a decision you shall regret very soon...
hmm watching DD while playing DD
What a "joker" the Dodger dude :P
The Jester is a guy. :D
And the plague doctor a gal. Yeah, I named them all wrong too :P
Lovecraftion much....
A brit playing an Indian
We gonna colonize the shit outa this game!
your comments got really annoying really fast... i won't be back...
'I didn't know...' Is such a an overused recurring 'term' in this video and it's so silly because when you take the time and hover over abilities, your answers are already answered. Yet, that never happens and the 'chat' has to help out. It's nice seeing someone else's perspective but it's so cringe worthy when the player doesn't take a few seconds to try and find things out.
too much cursing, cant watch this crap anymore...
