Greg may not be a player but he sure is a player
I see what you did there 😂
An interactable one
AI / NPC player lol
So true
“Playa”
Who knew "Hello Adventurer! My sheep have run amok!" was such a great pick up line?
Next time a girl asks me for my best pickup line...
"Hello Adventurer..."
Who am i kidding..no girl ever asks me this..and i dont have any sheep to run amok
@@GCEXTREMEMN To be fair we've never seen these sheep, apparantly you don't actually need sheep to have your sheep run amok.
Also, while pickup lines are a sign of terrible social skills, waiting for a girl to ask for one is arguably even worse. Talk about something actually interesting or throw out your pickup lines at anyone who looks interesting or interested (or both!) Or live a single life, but don't sit and wait and then complain that you can't get laid/romanced. Failing at getting something requires trying to get it. so go out and fail gloriously! Again and again!
It is surprisingly effective.
I actually say to people "Good mornin' Great day for Kayaking, aint' it?". I don't fish, but no one caught onto me yet.
Easy. Just imagine Phoenix is the one saying it while giving you a little wink.
Greg, the NPC who gives you your first quest, leading the way to the final one is weirdly satisfying.
I expected Ben to say : "Outrageous "
Rowan :"Unbelievable "
and then pathetic cries from Adam at the end lol
For fishing... ain't it?
Skip
A wild Hamish crashes the party: DO MINE EYES DECEIVE ME?!
I read it in their voices lol 🤣
Then Adam is like
*Portal away!!!!!!* 😂
On Greg's first day in Azerim, he found the legendary bucket of endless grandpa rings.
"Grandpa really liked his rings....almost to a worrying degree..."
Congrats on the spam report “Truth and Belief” guy
Tell me more about these grandpa rings? How are they forged? Are they all from the same grandpa? Is there a grandpa farms or breeding facilities hidden somewhere? So many unanswered questions.
@@Hiilikuja The rings were forged by mastergramps in the depths of Shmargonrock. Hidden in a future garlic farm for who knows what nefarious purpose? The rest you'll have to pry out of Greg when he is good and drunk.
@@froginmybeard Thank you! Though now I might have nightmares of the mighty mastergramps. Ignorance is truly bliss. 😀
Just here to say that the outfits keep getting better and better.
And the ebony mace as well
@@carlosnugraha9993 Yes, but the ebony mace is supposed to be one handed. So it's the offspring of an ebony mace and an ebony warhammer
@today was a good day effing spammer
Of course they have been playing this game for how long? You would expect some leveling up.
@@chriseash6497 still worth praising :)
LMAO the self-awareness that Greg has, instead of sticking to his NPC script, cracked me UP. He KNOWS he's in hot water... priceless.
Gotta admire how fast Greg was able to turn the conversation in his favor.
Was all for naught though
"That ring belonged to my grand-father, but I think you deserve it adventurer. Take great care of it, because it's not just the only keepsake I have from him, it's also _ONE OF A KIND."_
Back then at least he had the decency to look embarrased when caught. Hrrmp, where has this world come to when we can't even trust Greg no more.
@@fricy81 What you should be really asking yourself. Is this the real Greg, or quest Greg?
Fucking loved the grandfather’s ring call back! 😂
@today was a good day you too
One day we need an inventory of all those special, sometimes goofy items. Might even be useful for d&d stuff or a funny tabletop game in general, etc.
I can't remember, which episode was the ring in first?
His grandfather had many rings.
@@DATECStudio Don't engage the bots. Replying to them makes UA-cam think that they might be human. Just report and block.
I was FULLY expecting to have one of them turn around, and there would be a HUGE LINE of Players, waiting to have their "last conversation" with Greg, the NPC... =)
Over a thousand heroes in line.
Dark lord is waiting for the one hero, turns around and sees a army of heroes. "Oh come on"
I've seen this joke somewhere, in a movie. Monty Python? Mel Brooks?
So many polite, non skipping adventurers! No wonder he loves them all
I love the fact that all the adventurers are wearing the same gear. Starting zones usually only have one set that's worth wearing, and I guess Honeywood is no exception.
Endgame builds also tend to funnel into a few if not the same set for the same class.
@@radaro.9682 Exactly! Lol.
@@radaro.9682 True but It's usually a lot harder to get at the end.
I figured the cloak was some sort of magical item necessary to get that far.
I guess its the same. Chainmail and scale mail. Mace, long sword, and claymore. Even the blue cloaks were different which would work if they were different classes yet they all looked to be warriors.
Wow, these players got SUPER emotionally invested in this game. Props to Greg for at least trying to spare their feelings.
@today was a good day No.
Its like how with Dragon Age Origins despite all the choices at the beginning for your origin, everyone one of those Wardens you can play as is a canonical character who does exist in the timeline and do enter into the service of the main Warden/Hero of Ferelden during the final battle.
@@hiddendesire3076 Do they? I thought you could only find evidence of their horrible deaths due to the crappy situations of the origins and lack of Duncan.
I played FFXI for the better part of a decade, so I can understand that feeling of attachment towards some npcs.
@@RaydeusMX FF loves ripping your heart out.
Reminds me of season 1 or 2 when he flirts with Brit’s character and gives her his “grandfather’s” ring. Then drops a whole box full with Adam and Britt staring at him as he awkwardly walks back to his garlic shack lmaoo
What episode was this?
@@DrSwazz here is the video:
ua-cam.com/video/0bAFr3lEvgE/v-deo.html
I forgot how much I felt bad for him when he drops them lol
Probably part of why they referenced that vid here when Adam says he feels capable because of the ring.
Anyone notice that with each update the number of quests in Honeywood drastically increases? It was a beginner town when I first started playing, but now it has enough quests to take you to the end game.
Tell me about it, used to be to get a semi decent weapon early on you had to put up with the Darkwood crap, but now you barely have to leave Honeywood before the Beacons of Miamar and the Dragons of Shaggenrog
BEN: "How many people have helped catch your sheep?"
Me: Is that the euphemism we're using now? 😆🤣
It is now.
It always was
They are in New Zealand after all.
Always has been 😆😆😆
It's just you....I think.
Greg the Garlic Farmer needs his own movie just like that Baelin the Fisherman had!
Pls Viva La Dirt League! We need a Greg the Garlic Farmer movie!
And britney, if they can get her on board again, hehe
YES!
They could start it with an update that adds store times and a night life for NPCs, then it'd be Greg after hours.
YES!!! Greg movie!!!! WANT!
There's also a evil version of both characters right? I would like to see them return
Being my favorite character of this series, I can see how players can get so attached to Greg. I've missed him, glad to see him in a new video again!
It feels so strange that after watching so many of these vids that I became sorry for random npc's I've killed playing games over the yrs. How many Greg's have I killed that were becoming self aware over the yrs 😔
@@amyhoard1222 "Welcome to Corneria."
They play the role of the 'jilted loveventurer' entirely too well. I literally spit my drink.
Greg: "No no no, it's not what it looks like!"
Also, this is why you make instanced zones. So that cheating NPCs don't get caught with their pants down :D
😂😂😂
yeah, definite developer lesson here.
tell him to wear a fucking belt than jesus lol
He should have told that third adventurer that today is a nice day for fishing.
I was surprised there wasn't a Greg for each adventurer.
3 adventurers means 3 Greg.
Then Greg comes back with "I'm the victim here". That is so accurate to how something like this would play out 🤣
"It's not my fault you assumed you were the only adventurer!"
Sign of the times I guess.
Well, he is following the script developers attributed to him. So, he is right in saying so.
Joey from Friends did this first...
Slept with a girl then never contacted her again, but when he ran into her he flipped it and made himself the victim
LMAO the amount of sheer pure sass when he says "how many people have helped you catch your sheep that've run amuck" I'm dead
Love how Adam’s American accent just disappears after he realizes he’s not the only adventurer.
Wow, that Greg NPC sure is good at improvising on the fly! His AI has really evolved over the years.
😂😂😂
Is like he could be considered an Actor now.
ah yes... the *AI*
The way Ben move his hand, I thought he's gonna say the word "This Is Outrageous" I can't!!
LOL IT did similar to some women
@today was a good day Islam religion of evil
Exactly :) Ben is superb here :)
@@Mansur256 dont be a skeptical dude respect others' religion
He was doing the "Black Ghetto Girl" thing.
I mean, Adam's always been amazing at acting with his eyes, but WOAH it just keeps getting better and better. ♥
Ben with the sassy finger waggle at 1:48
Wait, Greg had multiple end game level magic rings the whole time? Would've saved the hero of Azerim a lot of time throughout the whole game since he's also the tutorial NPC.
I mean, yeah, but it has also been established that equipment requires a certain level to equip, so they probably wouldn't be able to equip it.
He’s an artificer, of course he’s got a fuck ton of magic rings.
Or he could save Azerim, as he's probably a protected NPC.
unique equip
Its the only one forged in the fires of mount Dormu.
This went from sentimental to hilarious to melancholic and back to hilarious again. What a roller coaster of emotions xD
Looks like you need a reply mate
Adam: "I'm ready to face the final dark lord!"
Karen: "Arrrrrrrrre you?" [Nefarious laughter ensues]
Karen 3, the quest of the Karen
After the dispute with the local garlic farmer Greg, the three now friends take on the final boss together. Little do they know, it is too much for them. The evil Karen strikes them down one at a time, leaving them no chance of winning. But then, a mysterious figure comes out of the shadows, pushing his legendary anvil. He takes out his hammer and gives his sword one last hit, preparing it for its end. He knows he can't defeat this beast without paying a price...
That would be awesome
@@schneebeingme8758
The legendary blacksmith falls to his knees, he had known that he would have to pay a price but he had not expected it to be such a heavy toll. His sword lays strewn about him as shattered pieces of sentimental steel alloy. “Really” Karen hissed “did you actually expect to defeat me with such a paltry weapon?” The blacksmith smiled as he spat out blood. “No” he coughed “I just had to buy enough time”. Just then, a shadow fell across them and the triumphant look in Karen’s eyes turned to fear as her snakelike neck twisted around to face the hill behind her. Atop the hill stood a heroic figure silhouetted against the setting sun. “Morning” growled the figure and the earth and sky trembled at his power as he took a step forward “nice day for fishing ain’t it?”
I could hear Karens voice in my head as I read that
Chills. Still chills.
You know, they did banish the Karen(s) to another realm. So it is possible they could all show up as the final boss in NPC man. I could see Karen being the dark lord and saying
"NOW I'M THE MANAGER!!! HAHAHAHA"
The end outtake. “I was gonna slap you” 😂
You guys hit gold on this one!
And nobody asked if Greg knows their name beside "Adventurer"
Or "What are my parents names?"
Critical Role fans will understand.
That Garlic slattern!
I was like "Finally, Greg gets a moment of true immersion and respect from a PC, as himself; a painfully aware NPC."
Nope.
Whoever is Greg's voice actor and mo-cap for this game must be paid so much
Ben's sass in that one scene was off the charts
They will see Greg one more time, though: in that last musical goodbye scene that you could say is... Unskippable!
I suddenly had to think of that hour long sequence at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4......
1:56 "Why does it matter how many adventurers help me catch my sheep that run amok huh?!" You tell 'em Greg!! You're an independent Garlic Farmer! You can get all the Adventurers to help you out lol
I love this. Adam was the perfect starter sensitive male lead to get the mood just right.
I am very interested in knowing how Greg's quest line goes from catching sheep to killing Dark Lords
I'm so proud of all of you, going from CS parodies to featuring in the BBC... AND GETTING THE THUMBNAIL NO LESS!
They featured on the BBC?!
Wait, what?...BBC?...really
Can you share the link to the video?
@@MagicCardboardBox yeah in an article
Greg's Philandering ways finally come back to bite him on his garlic belt. That'll learn him. Loved it.
@today was a good day No ua-cam.com/video/NOOnegIVESAS/v-deo.htmlht
@@HaveANiceDayLol. XD thats a good one but hey just report this bot without responding to it
When the d&d project was announced i was afraid that you'd stop epic npc man. Im glad you keeping it going. It's my favourite series from you, guys. ( i don't mind sharing that connection with a few millions ;)
This reminds me of when you finish the intro to an mmo and then you unceremoniously spawn in the hub clipping through like 8 people standing still (2 of which look exactly like you) and a character in max armor strolls by with sparkling purple shoulder pads riding the dark lord’s mount.
It's just too much Greg for one adventurer 😍
Love the blue cloaks btw, they make Adam, Ben and Rowan look extra sharp!
I love how Ben and Adam have accents, then drop the accents when they get upset only to put the accents back on near the end!!!
You mean add the accents when they get upset lol. :D
I think you both mean switch accents
@@mouthpiece200 no lol they put on a slight American accent, drop it and bring it back again
@@johno7370 Nah we Americans don't have accents, except maybe Southerners and New Yorkers.
@@mouthpiece200 Yeah you do, everywhere has accents. You don't think you do until you travel.
I absolutely loved Adam's character in this. So great
Poor Greg! And for a moment I really thought that Greg and his grandfather's ring were finally getting the respect they deserved!
Here's an idea for another: A quest to explore 'secret cave' but when the player gets there, its got a highway of traffic right to the treasure box
He's got big responsibility to fill he is the eye we see through he is our one true friend .. Yes I am talking about every npc companion in every adventures game ..
Greg stay up there buddy
Greg is no longer 'Greg the garlic farmer,' he's now "Greg the gaslighter."
I can absolutely see an MMO having this as a secret bit of dialogue.
The way Adam walked back, lmao

And that, dear npcs, is why instancing is so important when it comes time to... finish things with your players. Nothing worse than being in a cutscene with your chosen one only to have your hero of azerim show up and catch you.
A direct sequel to one of the first episodes...with the grandfather's ring.
Also, really reminds me of the amazing HPMOR quote: "You were doing SCIENCE with him? You were supposed to be doing science with ME!".
Lol, I love Ben's finger shake at Greg! 🤣
Ah Greg, glad I ran in to you! I've just finished crafting more of your Grandfather's Rings, and I was on my way to drop them off to you, but here you are!
What?! He told me I'm the the only one who can craft his Grandfather's Rings.
@@perlundgren7797 Hey, he's got two grandfathers, you're just making rings for the different ones.
I read that in Bodger's voice.
This is exactly how it made me feel when I went to Peru and everyone is really lovely and friendly and a family in a hostel called me SON/BROTHER, and were very loving with me and it made me feel very special cos in England no one is ever nice to you if you're a stranger... and then bit by bit I realised they do it to everyone. The same old lady that was calling me son, was also calling the annoying guy in our dorm her son also...
Take heart, my friend; one can have more than one son/brother, so it doesn't have to diminish what she said to you. 🧡
@@ScooterBond1970 she pretty much said it to every young guy that stayed in her hostel... i havent had a very caring family so initially it meant a lot to me, until i realised its part of being latino... latinos think english people are unfeeling and cold.. actually in a way its the other way around... we just dont show it as much - in some ways i feel the latino way of showing emotion is very superficial... id eat their food and theyd ask me if i liked it and id say yes, and theyd respond with "what? you dont like it???" because they, to show they like something dont just say yes, they make tons of yum noises and "its absolutely delicious" comments even if its just a fried egg... what annoyed me most about it wasnt the fact she did it to other people, more that it was that guy in particular.. he was a total twat.. its hard to explain why unless you want to read a message three times longer than this...
@@tigrecito48 i really do, explain the whole story please
@@tigrecito48 as a "Latino" myself (but from Brazil) I just wanted to comfort you by saying that not all of us think europeans are cold and such. There is definitely a trend of thinking so but there is also a lot of self awareness about how our "friendliness" can indeed be very fake, so it's not a general thing :) that said, it is very common for older people to call younger people "son/daughter", in fact we even have emphasis expressions where we call each other like that, language stuff I guess. Like when really trying hard to explain you something one could for example say "yes, see, that's how you do it my son!!" when you finally get it, or when shocked about something you've told they could react "whaaaat you talking about my son?!?!" and it's kinda silly when I write it in English but it makes sense for our context. That said, these uses have nothing to do with older people's habits of calling younger people like that, but I guess it's a way to point out our deliberate use of such words. Just wanted to mention all that. And in the end, do not feel distressed, as a hostel manager, I'd treat even a twat well because I want to be paid xD but here's a tip: if they kept asking you about the food, even if in that funny way where you have to be "hmmmm hmmm delicious", that means they really cared and were considerate! We only care about asking what people think of our food (and react to it) when talking to people we do consider important :D
@@TabernadoDani yeah im just wondering if i took everything the wrong way... ive been going back to see the same family for 20 years... seven 9 month trips travelling in south america and visiting that same family.. i started to think maybe i overstayed my welcome years ago and they all wonder why i keep visiting them... the problem is my own family never showed me any affection or love - very cold, selfish people, and so when that family in peru showed me affection.. i became friends with the daughter and she called me brother and the mother called me son, so it felt good, i felt like someone actually cared about me.. but over the years i started to wonder if they might be fed up with me, after i gradually realised how easily people are friendly and call random people affectionate names... i fear i thought we had a relationship when we didnt really.. or at least it might have been less than what i thought it was..
I have watched this so many times. Adam has the most perfect reaction face. "Ah I said I wouldn't cry" lol
Yup. That feeling when you're recording your gameplay and going through all the touching dialogue and then SirTamponStraw69 runs through the instance as you're about the take on the boss. 😞
1:27 gotta love that voice
I feel like everyone would have a connection with Greg. It makes sense.
Greg. The kinda guy who tells _ALL_ of his friends they're his _best_ friend.
Oh man, Ben doing that little neck shake of indignation cracked me up!
If this was Darksouls Logic, the Adventurers would be "You met Solaire in your world too? That's great! I love Solaire!"
I lost it when Rowan suddenly appeared.
At last this is it, what I expect

Btw, this is my first time ever watching this entire series over the past few days. You all are so freaking amazing for making these all come to life and to see how far you've come. The magic was there at the beginning and has stayed with the series over the years. Now its just more glamorous. Can't wait to see more!
Greg pushing his sheep out of their nice safe pen "run amok already! Daddy needs a new adventurer"
Ben’s finger waggle says it all. Lol! So funny you guys!
So currently we have the three-som, how many adventures has the epic NPC man got wrapped around his finger!?
That would be a foursome
Can we get a time lapse of all the adventures that go to the epic NPC man?
Greg has put a ring on every single one of them!
This is absolute genius. These are normally really good, but this video, is total pure gold. I think this may be the best one yet!
That blue cloak must be a previous quest reward from that quest chain, seeing as they all had it.
Brilliant!! And the after credits really completed it. Well done VLDL
"I had to catch your sheep for what, for fun?"
Yes
"catching sheep that run amok" is definitely an innuendo here.
Nice callback to the one of a kind ring that Greg has many copies of.
What an awesome set of armor they got there :D love every second of the video
Those goggles are really gonna come in handy when Greg gets back from his journey, and starts helping players again. These kinds of mixups will end differently without a doubt.

Ben's sass adds so much to this scene I love it.
I have been watching you guys since 200k subs. When I cant beleive it on how all of your videos are now have a great quality.
This is why I pretend Everyone that is not in my guild, are npcs lol
*SKIP*
I don't. I face the truth.
at least adam didn't cry in this one.
Honestly, been a fan of Epic NPC man since the 1st episode and Im so proud to see how far you guys have come. The growth of the characters, the endless comedy and joy you bring to your audience. The short film Baelins Route. I love everything about this and I hope it never actually ends. I mean eventually it will, as nothing lasts forever. But I truly hope that is many years from now. I remember when you guys would say at the end of every episode to sub to your patreon, and look at how much its helped you guys. The scenes, special effects, outfits. All of it keeps getting better. Make sure yall viewers who arent subscribed do it. Leave a like. Hit that bell. VLDL is well worth having on your youtube.
You guys are the best comedy/parody group on youtube hands down. Keep up the good fight gents!
P.S: when can we see another supercut?
His grandfather's magic ring sure gets around. It must be EXTREMELY magical, to split itself into three.
I would have gone with either tye trope of "busy while another player is interacting" or multiple instances of one NPC where for each new player there is a ghostly image. So bob and rowan would have ghost gregs since they aren't the main view.
I would say the later because there is a different episode that features multiple gregs because of a follower quest.
I was kind of hoping Greg would pull out the goggles of charm during the end convo with rowan and be like "Nah man you're the only one for me" hahaha
I find it cool how Ben, Adam, and Rowan are Each wearing their player character outfits, but with the legendary blue cloak.
I LOVE the gentle glow of sunlight shining beyond the trees throughout this video.
"Of all the adventurers I've met, you are definitely ONE of them." :D
Really high-end emotional performance good job Adam!
Greg's grandfather owned a lot of special rings
Been a bit since you did one of these skits about a “unique” part of the game. Nicely done.
This is Rowan’s villain origin. The betrayal was too much.
"Thank you Hero! without your help and Your help alone, we could not have done this!"
*flashback to killing the same target(s) as 50 other players*
Yea, i really am the only Hero in this world aren't i? *smiles*
*26 other players behind me waiting to turn in their quest aswell*
I love that they are all wearing roughly the same gear, some of it presumably from them all doing the same questline: the ring, the cloak, leather armour and bracers. Fantastic worldbuilding touch.
I've watched almost every single video you guys have made. An I gotta say, I love the dialogue exchange along with gaming events taking place and scenes you guys do! Love all scenarios of comedy you guys have done!😎🔥🌹🤩
Being an NPC looks like a tough job 😆

Missed the absolutely perfect opportunity for a full-blown "OUTRAGEOUS!" from Ben. However, despite the criticism this was a brilliant skit & great to see Alan's garlic farmer getting some mainstream character development.
I just knew the third one had to come along at the end
Now catching sheep sounds super intimate
