This explains why every NPC is so powerful. They're just adventurers that maxed out so they retired to a simpler life
great idea!
True!
Damn... it's all coming together
"I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee..."
i have several DnD characters that retired to various lives
Great to hear Ben using his natural voice.
It must have been such a relief for his vocal cords after all this time.
Yeah, he really needed a break from all the voice change
And his native language, Duck.
Music to the ears
😂😂😂😂😂
Phoenix is such a good actor. Her conflicted expression as she watches the bandits being massacred. Classic.
the thumbs up were precious, encouraging and supportive
my thoughts exactly
I had the same thought. Amazing actress!
She is also a great drawer. I saw her art on Discord a few months back.
Baelin s route ❤
Unironically Ben's evil voice was actually far more intimidating without the filter
Honestly, yeah!
I agree, the effect is a bit overdone
I disagree.
@@thephilguy1
It’s perfect.
They have to use the filter to nerf it down to 'ironic' potency
Baelin's awkward nervous "huh-huh" was the best part.
The CC for that is *chef's kiss* if you turn it on.
@@acole07 I desagree Baelin would destroy him if they fight
I nearly spat my food out 😂
CC on ;)
@@acole07ty
I like that he completed the "optional: drink their blood" part of the quest
It's never optional to bath in the blood of your enemies.
He's not gonna make a lousy job while at it already
Na that was just for fun. It's delicious and nutritious
@@Stellarcrete He didn't bath in the blood of his enemies. He's just a very messy drinker.
It would be rude to waste it.
Love how she's completely unphazed by the bloody slaughter taking place in front of her. She just accepts her friend for who he is. It's sweet, in a terrifying sort of way. 😅 🥰
That is not the face of someone who is completely unphazed
And isn’t that the best lesson. Accept your friends as they are 🥲
Don't try to change your friends, just change how you interact with them, if there are parts that you don't like.
she is grooming him
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She knows that he can't even begin to compare.
The pure joy on his face saying he wanted to learn embroidery was precious
My late wife could do knitting and before she passed away, she made a blanket for my nephew.
He's 14 now and still has it. His mom keeps it... For when he has a kid.
Your comment sparked a memory for me. Thank you. I just said her name... Therefore she still lives.
This has gotta be the most wholesome relationship in all of Honeywood. Unconditionally helping each other without expecting anything in return. No rewards, no coin, just a stronger friendship. Well done Death Knight... Well done...
Did you watch Baelin's route?
The true endgame
The rewards are the new skills...
Greg's wife.
Idk Alans wife was pretty awesome but they took her from him
Even the empty end game feeling will never compare to Rowan's empty soul
If only Rowan were more like Baelin
"Huehue 🤠"
man at least he still have side quest, while me who already clear them all before processing to main quest. damnit i just randomly kill someone for fun to cured my boredom (* ￣︿￣)
The fact that this had 666 likes as of reading this concerns me greatly /s
@@dizydeusthat part sent me
I love that the optional objective of the bandit attack is "drink their blood" and that he actually did it 😂
It's end game so you have to be a completionist.
So much fun with the sunshine/darkness duo. Her facial expressions were so fun when he was dealing with the bandits.
The costume design on this one was absolutley amazing
heh. cow manure+paint
Ya especially that lovely apron
Except the hole in the cloak, they could really use some money.
Death Knight and Young Maiden are back! So perfect. The bit with Rowan in this was exceptional...somehow conveying his horror while still staying with his limited NPC dialogue options.
Baelin always delivers!
I love the subtitles there saying shitting himself
I love the Death Knight and the maiden saga. The first one was one of my favorite VLDL videos. ❤❤❤
It's even more funny if you have the CC turned on.
YES! Thank you for bringing Baelin back for just a bit and this skit was so beyond awesome, could be the makings of a full feature length film.
This was actually really cute. Also love to see Baelin again feels like its been ages since we have seen him in a vid
I'm happy they revived this little series. Wholesome when he picked those flowers. Glad she remembered him
*boop*
Hearing Baelin's nervous laugh, and the death knight wanting to learn embroidery, are the funniest things I've seen in these sketches in awhile!
Now watch the part with Baelin again with subtitles on on!
@@jonathannilsson8482* Shitting myself* hu huh
😂😂😂
hearing that nervous laugh after watching baelins route is a different feeling entirely. last time i heard that laugh, that way, near an adventurer, who was also played by bob, said adventurer got his shit rocked.
Seeing the Death Knight in an apron is killing me. 🤣😂🤣😂
@@jonathannilsson8482 LOL! I had Subtitles on, but of course felt I didn't need to read for the guy who can only say the same sentence. Funny!
4:00 Ben's voice by itself actually sounds amazing without the effects! Fantastic work!
Not gonna lie, it's kind hot.
Ben is always willing to ruin his voice for a character 😅 ❤
Phoenix's facial expressions were so funny, great acting right there
Baelin at 1:57 gave real "Haha, I'm in danger" vibes lol.
Nah, Baelin has a power far beyond a Death Knight. He's marked as essential.
It's even better with captions on.
Rewatch with subtitles ;)
@@speakingwithoutnet I've just started(been binging) their DnD series and the captions there have converted me to watching all Viva's stuff with captions. The person in charge of them is amazing honestly. Not sure if it's the same person on this channel though.
@@speakingwithoutnet lmao just watched it with the captions, that's hilarious.
That face of pure and genuine happiness when he says "embroidery!"
Just perfect! 😆
Yeah, that was perfect acting.
This is why Ben is the best
That apron and embroidery line really made me laugh. Who knew walking machines of death and destruction could be so wholesome?
When you get to the end-game and suddenly learn that all the little trade and crafting skills you ignored are actually pretty fun.
That’s happened to me before. I got through two and a half expansions and lvl 73 in Final Fantasy 14 with only briefly getting a handful of levels in a couple of the gathering and crafting jobs. Then I gave it another go and got two gathering and two crafting jobs to lvl 60.
Ben's unedited Death Knight voice is actually pretty darn close to the final product!
Ben with reading glasses was already hilarious but when he wore the apron I lost it completely!😂
Same! The apron completed his whole attire. Lol 😄
The head tilt looking over and through them was spot on too.
He did it too in the training montage in souls logic
Next level: Death Knight wearing the apron and glasses whilst kissing a small child's scraped knee better.
Death Knight giving out cookies for Halloween whilst wearing a 'scary' mask that's less scary than his own real face. 😊
The young lady reacting to the bloody massacre of the bandits while trying to look cheerful and supportive (and being completely revolted) was an Oscar winning performance!👏👏👏🎬
Polite cringe expression 😂😂😂😂
I thought the same! The acting was SO good!
She is very good, but after all, she's the mainstream TV pro, isn't she? I see why she clearly loves doing Viva, though.
have you ever seen a movie
Phoenix Cross
I think Death Knight for her will do anything. She become his Ultimate Queen
Ever since I saw the first sketch with these two, I have been craving more! I super love the idea of this horrifying max-level death night who has a chill village-girl best friend and enjoys taking breaks from his slaughter of armies to learn how to cook stew and practice carpentry.
But moreover just the notion of her "alone" the next time a bandit raid or dragon comes and urgently telling them "I... I really really wouldn't, if I were you" "Hahaha! Why should we have anything to fear from you, little girl!"
"Well its just... The Neighborhood embroidery class starts in 5 minutes and... if that gets interrupted, the students get very upset."
*Mocking laughter followed by terrified screams as Death Knight makes the scene and unleashes unholy terror on everyone BUT the village for daring to interrupt his 'Unholy Chaoslords, bless this mess" sign he was making as a gift for his friend *
Ok, they need to do this as a skit
Only Rowan could make a 'ha ha' sound filled with fear after seeing Death Knight consume the souls of the fish. Amazing work as always!
Check the captions there! 😂
Baelin has fought orcs and Dark Lords before. But this Death Knight legit scared him.
The Ralph meme I'm in danger! Comes to mind!!
The moment I saw Baelin I was like ... this is going to be like fishing with dynamite, isn't it?
*Shitting Himself*
HUH HUH!
Really gives you a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that the Death knight is darning his socks, cooking his own dinner, AND still has time to bathe in the blood of the marauders! Heartfelt story🥲
What a strong independent man
🤣
It’s so beautiful isn’t it 🥲
@@VivaLaDirtLeaguehu-hah!
@VivaLaDirtLeague absolutely! Next should be something else terrifying (necromancer, demon etc) doing arts and crafts time with the kids of honeywood, like an Evil Bob Ross!
Ben is so talented 👏 What a wholesome skit.
"I can fix him!"
But she actually can, weirdly enough.
I ADORE the relationship these two have. It's just so wholesome!!
The ”Drink their blood (optional)” quest was perfect. Right up a Death Knight’s alley.
I cracked up on that!
This is a love story we all neeed. Get you a partner that calms your inner death knight.
I’m convinced everyone on the crew are vampires, they look as young as they did back in the day. Also great nostalgia bring these two together again. An awesome duo.🧡👌
Nah, just make-up. They're humans, just pretty ones.
Thank you Ben for bringing the character back and sacrificing your vocal chord!
He has embroidery skills now, he can fix it up no problem.
@@GregTheReaper ...and sewing skills 😉
So glad to see that the death knight and the innocent girl are getting more screentime. They are classics on this channel.
They're just so sweet together
Oh I've missed out!
2:31 "Drink their blood (optional)" I lold pretty hard on that one, thx (:
This one was actually pretty good. It does explain why it's so common to find overpowered silent characters living a simple life in a town in the middle of nowhere.
1:45 this entire bit is gold - from Baelin saying "Mornin" to communicate, to Death Knight eating fish souls, topped off with Baelins chuckle... perfection.
Watch Baelins part with captions....
@@ingiford175"sh*tting himself" 😂
*sole
@@AyarARJ that's... not correct
@@Frosty_tha_Snowman Wasn't sole? More like a few nice halibuts? Speckled lake trout?
I missed Baelin so much...his good mood is so contagious and wholesome
His Burlap sack- shirt has gotten an upgrade. Also Phoenix's expression during all the k!lling was amazing, expressing emotions with eyebrows!
The nervous thumbs up while he's killing the bad guys ... nice touch (Phoenix is such a gem). How these guys come up with such unique and original content/writing is just beyond me. Who can imagine an actual game called "Honeywood or Skycraft"? And all of them be in it! That would be epic (pun intended).
Death Knight, Side Quest Girl (whose name I'm unfamiliar with that Phoenix plays as), and my favorite NPC Baelin back in an episode together? This definitely made my year!
I agree, I love them too.
I call her The Maiden. Do they're Death Knight and The Maiden.
He even completed the optional quest after fighting the bandits to be fully energized for the challenge of learning embroidery. He is fully dedicated to his new, peaceful life.
Side quest, learn embroidery off Death Knight!
Baelin’s awkward chuckle is one of the greatest moments in VLDL history 😂
if you didn't already turn on captions, theres a few funny additions in there including for that moment.
I had to watch it a few times hahaha funny as.
I shouldn't have sipped coffee right before that.
Baelin's nervous laugh is what got me
I think a quest line with those two would be priceless!
I hope this duo is a new permanent one. They are SO good together!
Ditto
Yeah my dude over here doing the romancing quest.
It's the path of every adventurer, spend the first few hundred hours becoming a literal God, get board find a cute NPC you like and Google how to marry them.
@@anarchyandempires5452😂😂😂
Found another one of Bens alt accounts!
@@anarchyandempires5452 Nah bruv, just purely platonic, mutual respect.
For those who don't already, always use subtitles on VLDL videos. They add some things into it that aren't always in the video itself. Like the fishing scene, baelin's last laugh added " *sh*tting himself* HU-HUH"
Thank you! I saw that too! XD
Awesome
I didn't know about the subtitles. Thank you for the info. I will make sure to turn them on
One of the rare advantages of not being a native English speaker, I always have the subtitles on and always lose it for VLDL subtitle jokes :)
As a deaf person, I always watch with subtitles. It's not always perfect, but it brings 'much joy
Love seeing Death Knight and Young Maiden again! Great job Ben and Phoenix!
"I shall kill again... for you" is so oddly wholesome.
Baelin's half hearted 'hu-huh' at seeing the fish all die. Priceless.
Re-watch the scene with captions! 😂😂😂
@@frankbarenbach6044 Thanks for the tip!
Death Knight should be the one shitting himself if he knew how op Baelin is when angry!
@@frankbarenbach6044 Always watch with captions.....
@@frankbarenbach6044Thanks for pointing that out, that’s hilarious!
The half hearted thumbs up from Phoenix while Death Knight was commiting genocide had me rolling.
I had that picture in my head of him slaughtering an enemy, looking over to her and then smiling while ripping him appart when he was seeing her approval :D
I hate to be that guy, but that's not what genocide is. Genocide is, very specifically, the explicit attempt to end the lives of most (if not all) people of a particular nationality/ethnicity within a region. As such, 99% of all killing doesn't qualify as "genocide", including the slaughter of bandits, regardless of body count. Ergo, there was no attempt at genocide taking place in the video.
@@kingofbudokai But you don't know the whole picture... Those bandits were the only one peple left of their nationality/ethnicity, and Ben explicitly attempted to end the lives of all of them just because of their nationality/ethnicity (the robbing/pillaging one). So, it's a genocide...
@@kingofbudokai
That's not true.
You love being that guy.
@@kingofbudokai Interesting. Thank you for the information on an incorrect definition
Wholesome Death Knight Ben is always the best! Also the added subtitles are gold.
Notice board in Honeywood 'Dont mess with the Maidon for she is PROTECTED!' 🤣🤣🤣
I think the Death Knight storyline is my absolute favourite. Ben does a fantastic job, like usual.
I also really love the idea of a "retired adventurer village". There is so much fun that could be done with it.
Bandits beware the level 15+ retired hero village
You should check out the book "NPCS"! its a very great book about a party of adventurers that get killed, and a couple of NPCs have to replace them or the mad king will raze their village. Its a great book and one of its plots involves a village full of retired adventurers.
@@TheChurchofJim That's the second time it's been recommended to me. Who's the author?
@@ashtonpeterson4618 Drew Hayes! Great author in my opinion, I am loving the series so far.
Also recommend the book Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw!
Phoenix is one of those actors who can portray so much with just facial expressions.
she got the NPC voice down to a T!
I love Phoenix... she and Britt are great for Honeywood
@@TNAralwaysfun She was excellent in Baelin's Route. It was Phoenix, Rowan & Ben whose superb acting were the key in making it such a success. That also propelled VLDL into a better group for the viewers, enabling a massive $2.5million fundraiser
@shrujanamsyama9940 yep she really was excellent in that
I find this clip philosophical. The struggles of growing up. The childlike innocence with growing up. Good and evil. The Death Knight struggles with his past.
Well done.
I LOVE these 2 together! I'm not sure where the storyline can go, but I'd love to see more of them.
I laughed at loud of Balin's face when Ben killed all fishes. The thing about Rowan in this scene is that in these small moments is when he shows how great an actor he is, because this kind of subtlety and acting reliable is the result of years of effort.
You need to watch these with subtitles on. They add a little extra hilarity. Especially this part with Baelin
It truly does feel so empty after playing a game and then ending, like the feeling hurts. It's like hiking on top of a mountain and then wonder where you're going to next
I would assume down the mountain, one way or another... Could take a different route too, for more exploration.
I mean, I play a game to feel complete... So... If I spent all the time in a game, and I am happy with the time I spent doing everything I did in the game, it becomes a euphoric feeling for me, not one of loss.
Presumably back down
True, it's all downhill from there
How you see this situation is analogous to your perception of death, itself
Love, LOVE seeing these two together again!
He looks so happy! I hope embrodery is everything he dreamed.
Death knight's 100% good moral alignment really makes the game seem open to everyone.
Didn't he kill a random stranger at 0:38 🤔
@@23UAS players respawn
@@23UASthat guy was actually a mass murderer that he was hired to kill (trust)
@@omegafish69🤣
Am I the only one who wants to see this as a whole movie
ur not, i really want it as well
They have this mini movie called baelins route if that's what you're looking for
John Wick prequel how did he met his wife basically
It honestly sounds like beauty and the beast.
It would make an awesome comedy/spoof RPG.
Baylan is like "How come I can't catch any fish!?"
'Now I just roam the lands randomly killing things'.
We've all been there aint we.
So good to see Phoenix back! She brings so much joy to the skits.
What’s her insta?
So great to see Phoenix! Starting to worry we'd never get to see her acting talents with you all, again. Learning the side skills was always a favorite of mine.
So it is the same girl from 2 years ago Death Knight video
@@fadlankhatamiahmad1821 yes. She was also part of D&D Logic, Bored and... costar in the greatest VLDL video, "Baelin's Journey". Very good actress. Loved her as Rowan's niece.
Yeah, she is absolutely gorgeous.
It's easy to fall for her, hope she will be seen more often.
Baelin too
**Ben waking up**
"I AM THE DARK LORD DESTROYER OF.."
Missus:
I needed this bit of sweetness in my life right now. Thank you VLDL!
I love how wholesome Ben is in this character. The complete opposite of every other one he plays. Soo cool
The extra cheery role playing gentleman guy in the fancy outfits is pretty deep/wholesome though!
"Ben, we need you to play a soul sucking denizen of hell, who crawled from the abyss to sow despair."
"Retail customer. Got it. And who should my Epic NPC Man character be?"
"An absolute teddy bear!"
I love the underlying message to never stop learning new things. Sometimes the littlest of things can be exactly what you need.
New channel : VLDL embroidery
or just stop complaining about x game has no content after 100h and move on
@@Freestyle80 I don't know, that sounds kinda rational. 😅
@@michael_pilot This
hands down, one of your all time best sketches. thank you, VLDL 💜❣️
I love this duo, I hope this means well get more from them. So adorable!
I love Baelin's clothing upgrade! And thank-you Lorquin for the *sh*tting himself* in the subtitles. That made me laugh harder than I was already
OMG! It's so good to see Phoenix back!!! These characters go together so well. Phoenix and Ben are both amazing actors and have great chemistry. Keep up the good work everyone at VLDL!!!!!
He is adorable. Like honestly, so adorable. I love this death knight.
By far one of THE BEST episodes this channel has ever produced. This was hilarious, heartwarming, and hopeful! ♡
Nah, maxed out charisma man was better than this. It was good tho. Do you actually think this is their best episode ever or are you just an npc fishing for likes?
@@globaladdict homie... "one of the best" 🙄 Yeah, it is one of their best episodes, despite your unwarranted opinions.
I freaking love this series, but I’ve loved the story of the Death Knight and the Young Maiden the most!
It would be hilarious and adorable to see future episodes where DK is just seen in the background hanging out with YM doing cutesy household things!
I'd watch that anime/read that manga 😂😂😂
@@RamenkittieLol same. I would ship
The *Duck mocking Ben* was right on cue😂
Phoenix in this character seems like someone i could grow old with.
I don't really follow their dnd campaigns, but I really really hope they have an npc like this in it
3:21 Now that's oscar level acting! The eyebrows, the concern, the jolting...Masterclass!
The double thumbs up for what I can only assume was Death Knight giving her thumbs up (with someone else's thumb) is brilliant.
Phoenix is absolutely delightful. Needs to be in more VLDL videos (Bored Epic,etc)
Definitely, she's just so cute and has great acting abilities!
Yeah, Baelin's route owes its success to excellent acting by Rowan, Ben & Phoenix. That then enabled a fundraiser of 2.5million, propping up VLDL group to much higher level.
Alan wrote Baelin's route.
@@Daphflrks Baelin's route was a success due to the acting by Rowan, Ben & Phoenix. Rowan's ability to act solely through expressions without speaking (except Baelin's single dialogue), Ben's acting as a ruthless villain and Phoenix acting with her expressions is what led to its success. The most difficult and critical part was of Rowan as he was not allowed to speak. These things can't just be written as scripts.
There's some real chemistry with these two characters.
I'd love to see more skits with them.
You never know what's going to work. Somehow... these two work.
I LOVE this Ben's character, even because I can basically see every cahracter I have played in an MMO, from a vicious Death knight to a lovely, deathly, simple man...
The subtitles during Baelin’s scene 😂 I’ve missed him and Phoenix! So happy to see them back!
The visual effects and costume design in this video are incredible.
And the delivery of “Now I want to learn Embroidery” by Ben was perfect.
Oh I am so glad to see these two back again!!
I just love the death knight and his interactions with npcs
That's one hell of a complete game: so many craftsmanships to learn!
Also, it's nice to see those beloved characters coming back. Nice day for a reunion, ain't it?
Ultima online tried to be like this if I recall correctly. In ancient times!
Hu ha!
Giving death knight the glasses while sewing and immediately turning him into an old granny was a nice touch.
The glasses while sewing was a nice touch, a near sighted Death Knight.
There's no point in me saying that this is your best in X amount of time because you guys are consistently outdoing yourselves. Awesome episode!
Great to see Phoenix again. I hope she's available for more videos in the future. Wonderful job everyone!
You know Ben is powerful when the overtuned Baelin gets nervous around him.
Oh yeah Baelin can kill dozens of orcs Ben can kill dozens of dragons
Love this skit . She maxes out the wholesome warm fuzzys here 🙂 .. and Adam getting murder hoboed lol 😆
The glasses and the 'drink their blood (optional) were golden.
