    Freaky that I decided to look up lore for PoE1, stumbled onto this video, watched it fully... and then realised it was uploaded 5minutes before I started looking for lore videos...good timing.

      I reccomend that for lore, you go to noodle instead. She is the best at this. These videos are a bit vague to say the least. Not to mention the fabricated hype he gives his script by talking like an amateur middle school history teacher is a bit too much for a game that already stands in its own 2 legs just fine

    Hi all. Act 1 and 2 footage is indeed scuffed, I am sorry. I am a bit strapped and i literally deleted the first take of this video, footage starts perfectly matching in act 3, with good art and screenshots throughout. Part 3 will be BETTER! Thanks for watching.

      Suggestion: Put "Part 2" in the title, the only reason I knew this was part 2 because you said it in the video.
      Otherwise great video! Thanks for doing this, I've played POE1 for 500 hours, and I've never paid attention to the lore lmao.

      Please someone tell me why the exile decides to follow piety? The exile still doesn't know it's there because of her...
      Why the exile decides to kill the beast?
      Why does the exile decides to kill Kitava and help Sin?
      That is the only missing pieces for me to understand the lore
      I have already done watched Noodel's lore videos but I don't grasp the Why.... maybe I'm just dumb, but those are important questions to me

  • @Kujar3Player
    @Kujar3Player Місяць тому +7

    I am one of those people that mostly skipped all the lore. I say mostly, I was paying attention the first three acts or so, way back then, but remembered very little. When we were eventually killing Shavrone and the others I thought "that's cool! All the unique items named after these and we get to kill them now", but there just was so so much text, even if most of it was voice acted I found myself just snoozing and skipping.
    This video is a godsent, while my focus was always on mindlessly grinsing for currency, getting a nice build going and enjoying the end-game, I am happy to learn about the story as I'll try my best to pay attention in PoE2.
    It's shameful that as a PoE veteran I basically had no idea what the beast even was and honestly, I had no clue what the thing in the orb in the PoE2 cinematic even was. Now it all makes sense.
    Thank you!

  • @o.colpus
    @o.colpus Місяць тому +30

    Wait wait wait... So now we know that the Beast feeds off of the living. And it was probably as tiny as that device at a certain point.
    Is this the darker side of Sin? Was he willingly tricking or maybe convincing the living to go inside Mount Veruso? Because think about it.
    There are hints of human activity that started probably AFTER the virtue gems were created. But for them to be created and people to go there to mine and find the virtue gems, something must've been fed to the Beast to grow to that size.
    I'll assume that The Hooded One is indeed Sin because:
    1. "Your kind doesn't CONTROL this world anymore". The gods were only able to come back because the Beast was no more, and they were all slain by our Exile, apart from Sin and Innocence, I guess. At least in Wraeclast.
    2. "We cannot destroy your body, it's true". Maybe that's only possible by using virtue gems? And it looks like he's using a Kalguuran sword. He might've been bound to that tree using Kalguuran runes as well, since he can't be destroyed anyway.
    So since the Beast is no more, there's been 20 years of no virtue gems being "spawned', so to speak. It may have only begun now that PoE 2's story actually starts. That could also be a lore implication on why we get "uncut gems". They're just being rediscovered by the humans and being found in the corpses of monsters now corrupted by the Beast that is once again growing.
    That said, maybe that's why we see Sin (supposedly) killing humans. Maybe the beast HAS to be fed once in a while. Maybe for containment. Maybe he was just the "keeper", and sacrifices were needed. Maybe he has another purpose for it. Maybe he had some sort of plan before losing it to the Count.
    This may be completely wrong if The Hooded One is not actually Sin, but I doubt it. lol We just don't know how far he'd go due to how little we know about him. The other ones all had their dark past. I assume he's no different.

    My theory right now is that Doryani's Mesoamerican human sacrifice theme will be used to tie POE2's lore directly into the end game. Historically the Mayans and Aztec sacrificed people to stop darkness from over taking the world. I think this will be taken literally in POE2 and explains Doryani's involvement with maps.

    I know it's hard to do but, can I make a suggestion for future editing of the lore series?
    The first 5 minutes you talk about specific areas or people in poe 1 lore, but the video clips you're showing are of different people. Talking about Brutus but fighting Merveil. Talking about act 2 but showing dominus.
    I think it would help the format if the video content matched more closely with what you were narrating.
    But the video is great and I love hay you're putting together the lore in digestible bits.

    What I would like to know more about, but is extremely difficult to find, is how each empire handled the use of the virtue gems. I know we were embedding them in our gear, but gemlings placed them in their actual flesh. And, the Vaal, supposedly, crushed the gems, then injected them into their blood? Would just really like to know more about the different methods, reasons for those, etc.

    @bewilder210 Місяць тому +4

    Gonna have to nudge about the witch introduction. She didn't burn and massacre a whole village because of her kin getting killed, the villagers burn her home so she just simply took their children (implied she killed them). The motivation of the villagers burning her home is unknown, but it hinted by Dominus's dialogue in character selection screen ;
    ""Why do the keen of mind seek to satiate their curiosity in Darkness and Depravity ? Innocence is our Father, Oriath our Mother. When a Daughter strays away from the Light, she makes herself an Orphan.....".
    The Witch could be practicing somekind of taboo thaumaturge or something that is way different than what people usually use. People fear of the unknown, and the unknown lead to demise when practiced by masses. Just like in middle ages when people don't understand something, they attribute it to "magic" and call someone that practice it as "Witch", it could be the same case.
    All the dialogues said by each of characters in Path of Exile when interacting with certain individual / object, entering a certain area, slain certain npc, they hint alot about the worldbuilding in Path of Exile 1. For example, Witch - Piety - Allira, implied that three of them are "sisters". Both Witch and Piety refer to each other with "sister" and Witch also refer to Allira as "sister". It can be actual biological sister, or as "sister" in a covenant of "witches", as all of them are adept in thaumaturgy especially in manipulating with corpses / the dead. Not only with character's dialogue, Flavor Text in Unique items / Divination Cards are also hinting alot of Path of Exile lore. Its hard to make an entirety of actual lore of Path of Exile, as people have to connect the puzzle together and often the puzzle pieces are only one or two sentences.
    We also still not yet know how we will move forward with Zana and the atlas, and the introduction of Maven kinda erase Zana's relevancy into the story. As someone that has been playing the game for almost 10 years, Zana is a prominent figure in my exile's career. So moving forward to Path of Exile 2, there might be alot of retcon in both games.

    Why not give a shoutout to other content creators who already put an extensive amount of hours into making videos about the lore of POE over the years like Kitten Cat Noodle. I understand this video is trying to explain the story of POE 1 in a more simplified structure but content creators should at least give a shoutout to other creators channels that have put in a lot hours and have almost dedicated their whole channel to uploading lore videos. Not only does it help other content creators but it also helps viewers discover, learn and love the world they want to know more about.

    You gotta work on your speaking cadence my dude. Randomly emphasizing words and pausing multiple times during a sentence, as if every word is BOLD and is followed. By. A period. Is distracting.

    So, after realize that in act 4 we actually slayed, what seems to be, a finale form of Beast. I started thinking that PoE2 is might be not a sequel but a prequel, because of what we saw in PoE2 cinematic.

    I love this game, but even with these lore videos it’s still impossible to understand what’s happening, why we’re helping these different people, who or what is the villain, etc.

    Great info but your speaking style and inflection is obnoxious

    Unfortunately the lore is just to confusing and dense for me to care, just making up a bunch of gibberish doesnt make a good story.

    I'll save you the 30mins
    TLDR: None of it matters for POE2 unless you want to understand small callbacks to the first game, most of which will probably be explained anyway.

    Nearly unwatchable. The editing is simply epilepsy inducing
