I can imagine that one of the first NPCs you meet in a game, depending on how fast and how much of their dialogue you skip, the more likely they are to become a sidekick for the main villain or something.
This would actually be such a cool plot for a game, where an NPC turns against you for treating them like nothing more than another side quest to get to the “real” villain.
Oooo yeah just like, the idea of the NPC if you go along and listen to them, you can actually hear hints of their issues with their place in the world and them being overlooked and ignored. But if you replay/start immediately with skipping all/most dialog and also mistreating tbe NPCs especially the one in question, that would be it's final straw as they work behind the scene gaining power to be the true final villain.
Gaenor. A random NPC who asks you for increasingly ridiculous sums of money. When you eventually refuse him, he returns a few days later as the toughest enemy in the game.
Unless, it's one of those games where you can't kill NPCs. A NPC breaking away from their programming to become a immortal villain sounds so cool to me
@@FuzBrain this can happen in Skyrim if one of the child NPCs gets aggroed and picks up a sword. Not very powerful, but completely indestructible. It only happens if there is a bug in the AI though.
May I propose a different idea for our 'villain' farmer? We all know those multiplayer games and those quests that usualy repeat themself. Maybe since all those 'heroes' just want the key (which might be important for some big treasure idk) he might respawn anytime he gets defeted and maybe fights off heroes since he's seen by most players as an enemy to fight. (Maybe they don't know/care that by not skiping him they could get more then just a key) But then a new player, one that's actually kind and there for fun and lore, shows up and for the first time someone doesn't just wants him as a tool. They could go to adventures together and build a friendship, maybe making him an anti-villain/hero (I'm not sure which one is correct). Tldr, I want him to have maybe a rough start, but at the end a happy end (and a hug for him please).
I love to see a part 2 to this where he becomes the big bad's second in commad and proves to be so competent and valuable that the big bad decides to make him his/her heir whenever he/she is killed by the heroine. Then it becomes a big showdown as the heroine fully comes to terms with what her selfish and callous disregard for the "worthless farmer NPC" problems caused.
1:49 "Without Villains, Heroes Don't Exist" reminds me of when Will Wood sang in "The Main Character" this: Villains are everywhere, that's how I know that I'm the hero! Also, the song "The Main Character" fits so much the vibe of the hero/adventurer in this song!
I love how yes - the NPC IS the villain. His motivation is tragic, no doubt - feeling worthless because the hero is genuinely awful to him. However, in his mind it justifies stealing valuable weapons and then killing a guard. He even then blames the guard. It's not hard to see how this extends. And moreover, he's not angry at the Hero's treatment of the other villagers - only a lack of respect that he believes himself owed. Thus - he becomes the dark reflection of the selfish 'Hero'.
This is validating every time I read all the character dialogue in games and do all the sidequests while ignoring the main quest. The big bad is taking his time, and I have chickens to return to their owner.
I will always love movies, series, musicals, etc. that have a plot where you think the protagonist is one character but it turns out to be someone else you wouldn't expect.
@@Catzarecute167 It depends, if it's well constructed and its reveal doesn't come out of nowhere or doesn't add anything, then I love them like King Cady in Wreck-It Ralph
Honestly I kinda love this concept. I’ve always found stories that shared some of the darker sides of classic “heroes” super interesting because they’re seen as a perfect/good person. Great music btw, love your work!
@@PixelPlayhouseyeah a Villein was a type of peasant tied to the lane via contract, and had more restrictions than freedmen, also called a serf. They’re the classic serf we think of with few rights potentially abused by their lord, with many centuries of the term being used disparagingly until it became the Villain we think of, the bad guy in a story and someone for the hero to defeat. Classism at its finest!
I was hoping that it would be basically a time skip going from the farmer being exiled to the world descending into war no one the farmer has his mind on after all these years of war of his design except to fight win against hero. Every moment of every day the farmer has been thinking about the hero, and he hasn’t even been on the mind of the hero at all hasn’t even thought it was him who caused the war or who’s leading the evil army so imagine that surprise of the heroes face after everything this didn’t happen, but I think it should have
"has destiny designed" Bit of a subtle burn there, implying that the main reason the hero will win is because she is destined to, not because she earned it. Which, if you think about it, is technically kind of true in video games, since you have a save point and he doesn't.
I mean the NPC isn’t really a “villain” in the traditional sense as he is more of just a vengeful vigilante. He doesn’t come off as “evil” either aside from of course stealing someone’s weaponry and unintentionally killing someone, he really is just trying to prove himself to this “hero” and that he’s more than just a video game NPC
This would be an awesome game. An npc slowly gains self-awareness and you don’t know until the boss fight at the end or something. Set in a fantasy setting something-or-other
I have a game I'm making where you would play as an NPC that accidently got experimental code added to their code. which in turn caused them to become sentient. This has given me an idea to allow a route to become a villain instead of taking the heroes place.
Oooohhh, there kind of is! "An NPc's Odyssey", the protagonist was an NPC whose house has been broken in and money stolen by the hero, and sets on a journey to have the hero pay it back.
The singing is so good and I ADORE this concept!!! The storyboard is well done too, it makes it so cool to witness the battlw and expressions of the Farmer
Sir, I think you just made the first of many songs in a musical track for a movie that'll get at least 900% scoring on any of those movie rating sites. The song, and the story behind it, chef's kiss
To be The hero is to be the symbol of perfection. But Legends are written about Villains just as much as they are heroes. But Villains don't need to be perfect Because imperfection can only be seen by the imperfect. All villains want to make the world perfect in their eyes. That's why people do terrible acts. Only if a wise mentor came to teach him He would have the opportunity. But no one saw a promise in him. The expectations Of how we perform should lay on our teachers, not on our students, because we cannot fail if we were properly prepared. It's not a question of intelligence. It's a question of Individually and how they teach To the students understanding and not the teachers. We do not move forward if every single mind is not valued.
If the knight easily goes down like that against someone with no training, he doesn't deserved to be a knight, especially with egotistical attitude like that.
@@PixelPlayhouse Desperation, people strive for immortality in different ways but the most common way is the legacy in the world. Why does someone want to become a villain? If they want to be remembered, they will be remembered as a tragic person or a warning to others, even longer than a hero.
Is it bad to root for the villain in this situation? I think surely not! Go man go! Make a name worth fighting for! Be the villain you were always meant to be! 🤩😈🤩😈🤩
The lyrics shows the NCP’s monologue ‘rhymes’ with what she says- I was wondering why the song sounded weird there. wish there was a version of the song w/o it cut
I showed my sister this wonderful video, and as soon as your face showed up at the end, she turned off the video and called you an NPC. 😂😂😂 She did like it, tho.
Bro must have somr sick backstory or family drama if he has a key that they need. Like how'd he get it, why does he have it, why's it so important, why is he trusted with it???
Oh, yes, Timmie's birds gonna LOVE it Anyway, it's AWESOME! Made me remember a dnd story where DM secretely made annoying players into main villians to teach them that their choices and actions have consequences

Hate how most of my friends act like the Hero character. I talk to the NPCs, I be nice, while they kinda speedrun the NPCs, do stuff to ruin their rep then glitch/cheat it all back to good
I want this to be a manga or an anime, where the hero is really not the good guy and the villain was originally an NPC who was tired of all these heros diminishing their human worth, but the villain isn’t actually a villain but is really an antihero who everyone views as bad because of an unfortunate chain of events but ends up forming a group of friends as they go about their days trying to take down the morally corrupt hero even if it means majority of the people think their really the bad guy only to have the plot be them going out of their way to become the real hero and take down this idolized villain!
Geez you guys should write for disnay stuff I've seen from you has more understanding of story and character building then most things they put out lately...
