"Twine? I'd really like to string together some loose ends on my part and be able to afford some medicine for my dying - well I guess I don't need all of the children, so one can go..." Great comedy, but oh so dark. 👍
1:35 Best line from Hamish ever: "Twine? I'd really like to string together some loose ends on my part and be able to afford some medicine for my dying - well I guess I don't need all of the children, so one can go..."
And I don't know if it is worse, how the messed up this fix or how they fixed it. "We have removed his wife and wiped his memory as best we can, but only his memory of his wife. Others in the game may know he once had a wife."
that was like some Black Mirror episode. it was programmed that only he can remember his wife so he can't console with anyone because they'll never believe him and just laugh at his delusions instead. it's like he's alone twice that was dark af 🤣

So, let's sum up. So far Greg has been ignored, punched (repeatedly) , forced to watch a slaughter, despawned, ignored (again) by another NPC, forced to buy rubbish and then robbed, and lastly his wife dissappeared. I don't think being a Npc is good for him😂. At least the adventurers did't try to put him to sleep...
I'm just waiting for the episode where he's had enough and finally snaps, like he did when Ben (?) kept skipping his dialog, only on a larger scale. I hope Bodger isn't working that day!
The woodcutter sketch... it's pretty cool that as tech advanced, games started adding those details in rather. NPC finishes task at end of day, heads back home, putters around that area, interacts with others, sleeps, & returns. And you can follow them throughout & interact, getting different dialogue depending on where & when you see them.
@@Shaicedelic The old Majora's Mask did it, but that was a major mechanic so is more akin to Life is Strange on that front.

I think the newer Harry Potter game as well but maybe I'm thinking of mod that does it. Skyrim didn't have the unique dialogue but did have everything else. But Oblivion did it pretty well for its time.
rewatching the Woodchopper bit made me realize, Baradune was probably behind that one Ben NPC that became self-aware and was trying to escape the game.

We need another full length movie like Baelin's Route but this one should be "Greg's quest- a tale of garlic and love" and it should be about Greg's journey to find Gretta
6:50 the sudden switch back to jolly oblivion was the final break in the woodcutters' psyche. The pain was so strong the snap. Now the mask is stuck forever.
The “child safe” mode one could be used in a standalone horror film with a person who has a mental break, thinks they’re helping people when in fact they’re actually killing them brutally. They can’t see it but everyone else can. I’m guessing there’s already a film like that out there
I remember seeing a horror short film similar to that but I can't remember the name of it. Dude was terrified because he was surrounded by faceless mannequins that were moving around creepily on their own so he hit them with a baseball bat when they came close to him. At the end he's arrested by human cops, and only then do we see the bat is bloody and their are real bodies laying on the ground.
Goddamn, watching Greg's wife get patched out, and quest Greg despawning again was brutal. We need a patch that enpowers Greg the garlic farmer. Viva la Greg!
Goddammit the Woodcutter skit still gets to me more than I'd like to admit 😢 between the sudden sharp intake of breath the Woodcutter takes as he almost realises before being reset and the music (Uninvited by Alfie-Jay Winters) it's phenomenal acting by Rowan.
2:59 In most games I've played, when you sell to an NPC, you get significantly less money for it then what it would cost to buy that same item from them. So by that logic, the NPC should be very happy you are selling him all those expensive items, because he could sell them for much more ( so instead of it killing his children they would get to live in a mansion) Granted, in reality it wouldn't work that way because of supply and demand ( but then the shopkeeper also wouldn't be forced to buy from you )
I saw a theory I really liked that the gold used to buy and sell expensive items to adventures is actually the King's money for players to save the Kingdom, so poor merchants can't use that gold without getting into major trouble. The NPC'S are only allowed to keep gold if they earn it by growing or making items themselves to sell.
I gotta be honest with you, I want to start a GoFundMe just to get The Garlic Farmer's wife and kid back to him. How much of a bribe you think it would take to get them to write that in a future episode? This story actually gets to me (as a husband and dad) on a personal level. It was horribly and beautifully written and the actor hit it out of the park in his portrayal. These guys do comedy well, but when they tip their hand at drama, they can rip your damn heart out. I'm starting a movement, "Give The Garlic Farmer his family back." LOL.
I’ll be honest you guys need to make this an actual game, I would play it every day lol. Don’t change anything just make the NPCs exactly like they are in the videos lol 😂
The ones like "kid mode" or when Greg consoled his duplicate as he died after a quest are my favorite. Or Greg wanting to take a balloon ride. Or having a wife removed from a patch, but the devs left a painting behind. So damned meta.
I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I’d love to watch a “nothing but Hamish” compilation, from across all your videos, nothing has quite the ‘manic joy’ that Hamish brings to things! ❤ also; we need ‘Demi-meta-Greg’ in Npc D&d.
I think they need an episode where the devs used Gretas character model for some other NPC in game and makes Greg have flashbacks and try to convince her of who she was
I really love how half of y'all's videos are for shits and giggles and they're really funny and the other half of them taking emotional baseball bat to you. I'm not going to lie a couple of these genuinely made me cry
“Detective Mode Tutorial added so people don’t miss this function” and all the other snippets is a funny and cool way to bring in all the lore together
The woodcutter video is a great example of like talking to chat GPT where it just forgets literally everything from the conversation eventually goes back to nothing
I had a video idea recently after finishing a game I really enjoyed. It would be awesome if you guys could capture that lonely feeling of a completed game where all the NPCs only have a few dialogue options and the world suddenly feels empty. Being overpowered but it’s useless because there is no challenges left. I know y’all did something kinda similar in a previous video with the chores but this is another reality. 🤞
They've already done some of these videos like The empty feeling after 100 % completion, the whole saga with powerful Dark Night retiring in Honeywood and the one with deeply connection with NPC companion resulting in repeating the quest 😁.

Not quite the only one. That tinfoil npc mentioned in patch notes is obviously one, and the grave diggers have more than once discussed game mechanics, being fully aware of their situation.

Good thing the fruit seller didn’t recognize the items looted from his house. NPCs in one of my favorite games: “99 Cotton Robes? How did you get 99 Cotton Robes? (15 minutes later) Back again? With 99 Cotton Robes?!
Hamish being forced to buy all that stuff sucks, but at least now he gets to sell it all to the next chump (or even the very same guy!) for like 10x the price! :) Side Note: you guys should totally do a win skit for hamish where an adventurer DOES accidentally sell his main sword or something and now has to buy it back for a huge mark up. Maybe the adventurer decides it would be easier just to kill him and take it back and he gets massacred by hamish a la "crazy strong npcs" fashion!

You are all excellent character actors but Hamish takes it for me with the Poor Merchant skit, what a comedy genius.
Yep that skit is pure comedy gold lol
The wood cutting won my heart though
Hamish sells the existential suffering so well.
It's a long journey. He began by actually having the glittering skull of Rhaul that he left in a chest on an open path.
"Twine? I'd really like to string together some loose ends on my part and be able to afford some medicine for my dying - well I guess I don't need all of the children, so one can go..."

Hamish being forced to buy all that stuff sucks, but at least now he gets to sell it all to the next chump (or even the very same guy!) for like 10x the price! :)
Side Note: you guys should totally do a win skit for hamish where an adventurer DOES accidentally sell his main sword or something and now has to buy it back for a huge mark up. Maybe the adventurer decides it would be easier just to kill him and take it back and he gets massacred by hamish a la "crazy strong npcs" fashion!
the next movie needs to be a epic story about greg getting revenge
I feel Greg's pain. Not allowed to have full happiness, just being a servant to the people.
1:46 Complains about kids. But has all that gold to buy the adventures loot, instead of giving it to the kids.
I saw a theory I really liked that the gold used to buy and sell expensive items to adventures is actually the King's money for players to save the Kingdom, so poor merchants can't use that gold without getting into major trouble. The NPC'S are only allowed to keep gold if they earn it by growing or making items themselves to sell.
I do hope Greg gets his wife and child back. Honestly even peaceful skits of their daily lives and fond memories would be a welcome addition to content. A feel good series of shorts maybe?
