One of the most hilarious things in this video is that the villager just starts crying without changing his mannerisms, without taking his hands out of his pockets - he just straight out openly starts sobbing. Nomal people would wipe their tears or nose occasionally, or do ANYTHING with their hands, but this guy seems so comfortable just standing there, crying. Not ashamed to truly express his sorrow.
This legitimately happened to me in Oblivion. One of the Fighters Guild quests ask you to exterminate rats in an old ladies basement. So I found the entrance to the house, went right to the basement and promptly slew the rats, only to discover you were supposed to talk to the owner of the house first… she was not pleased that I murdered her precious pets.
Dude you're not helping me here!!! I have just started Oblivion! I have literally left the first dungeon, killing rats and goblin types! I have saved just after leaving it to be in the main world for the first time! And now this video pops up! I'm now having flashbacks of rats being slaughtered in that dungeon. And now THIS!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? this game is going to put me in the funny farm quicker than you can say "a messenger passes by and hands you a note"!!!
No, this did not happen to you. I am actually replaying Oblivion right now, and I just finished this quest a few days ago. At no point are you told to eliminate the rats. It is called "a rat problem" and meant to be ironic. The woman even tells you to save her babies. Not only do you lack reading comprehension, a basic requirement to play this game...you also failed to notice the rats don't attack on sight like every other enemy. You didn't even mention the mountain lion eating them. The situation, once you come upon it, is extremely obvious.
@@JustSomeKittenwithaGun You must be a real blast in social settings... My buddies and I were kids playing this game years ago... we broke in and killed the rats and the mountain lion and it was hilarious when we realized we did it all wrong. So yes, it did happen to me. Go touch some grass and unwind your underwear from the knot you've got it bunched up in over a UA-cam comment and quit being so pretentious, demeaning and self righteous about a video game from 2006.
The whole story is actually based on rng; there’s a 1 in 3 chance of marshal either being evil, good, or neutral for the entirety of the run, and with such an early implementation of the rng it makes the game very fun to replay!
@@macaroni6033 I always thought Marshal was supposed to become evil once the journey began, but because in his first playthrough, Marshal was killed, he didn't get the chance to do his evil deeds.
Alternately Kids, this is a prime example of a niche market, as some people, myself included, would absolutely buy this game if it existed, i would pay money to tell the old man i would investigate the rats death and then return to tell him his son was the culprit in a murder/suicide, i want to play this game, kids.
But for the player, this first playthrough would mean he would have to live with guilt and a secret that would normally lead to being outcast. Though the second outcome involved the loss of many lives, the player was able to retire with honor and watch the sunset

@@zemanken Morrowind. No characters were safe from death, even story crucial ones. If an essential character died, the game would just tell you about it and let you continue with the understanding that you could never finish the main story.
*YES!* Awesome Morrowind reference...back when main quest line NPC's were still killable. Idk how many times i killed that Caius Cosades or w/e his name was....just cuz i don't like Roman/Imperial sounding dudes.
When I was a teen playing that game that message freaked me out. I had just seen that message and then some weird shit happened and it almost seemed apocalyptic, I nearly shit myself before reloading my game. Turns out nothing actually comes of it but the doomed world part had me nervous and that combined with a random happening made me think twice before killing ANYONE.
Dude, that's realistic though.. go back and play Oblivion, whenever you give a beggar gold and then ask for a rumor/tip his voice goes from all meek and feeble sounding to all deep and filled with bravado 😅
@@stabngab In fairness, every Oblivion's NPC will change their voice depending on what you do. Get recruited to The Dark Brotherhood and when Lucien is talking to you, ask him about rumors.
It seems to be type of filter on top video capture or a type of rotoscope, rather than straight animation alone. So it might be more appropriate to just call it acting, lol.
@@valeoncat13 Nah it's animation actually, but the animation is done by using some AI that fills in gaps between frames to create the motion. I don't remember the program used, but that creates the strange effect. Edit: So it seems it's animation *and* rotoscope

@@CJamgochian I am almost certain that they might've used *EBsynth,* at least that's what it looks like to me. The little artifacts prolly wouldn't exist in that form if it was rotoscoped. It's a really damn cool program that uses AI to grasp an artstyle that you define, by editing 1 or multiple reference frames of the video with photoshop for example. The program then proceeds to apply that same artstyle to the rest of the frames of the video, taking depth and complicated factors into account to a degree that it's super impressive, for freeware that's relatively accessible.

@@RobertWarrenGilmore yeah I have main categories but I feel like there’s a low-effort of the month video type that UA-cam tends to recommend. I removed every vid on my feed and they disappear
twists like this are why I've learned to never kill anything that isn't aggro against me first, unless I'm in a bandit's lair or something and I have to kill guards stealthily. In Skyrim, I walked into a vampire's home and he was faced away from me and didn't hear me somehow, and so I tried to talk to him and he turned around and instantly attacked. So my philosophy doesn't always serve me well lol
In Cambodia, I saw an old man who sold shoes. I thought: "Wow. He's such a nice guy; a gentle soul." Later, when I told my wife not to buy his shoes 'cause I hate high heels, he was furious, and asked her who I was. When he heard I was the husband, he was frustrated. He was a monster out of greed. Dr. Jekylls in the world seem nice.

If you watch Camelworks videos on what goes on in e.g. Skyrim that is not just served to you on a platter you realize that you mostly are just a puppet most of the time, doing bad things that people expect you to do and that then are perceived by them as good and vice versa. Which tells me one thing: Don't give a fuck whether people give you praise or not, just follow your heart :P Because being dependent on people's praise makes you susceptible to manipulation.
Having played many RPGs that involved many rats and places in which you assume they're just enemies, I can tell you that this would be a total mind fu$& in something like Skyrim
@@TheMarlz2 not necessarily. I find their stuff is mostly miss than hits but they have some good nuggets. Like with jack stauber, tigtone, etc. The main weakness is their connection with cartoon network. But recently their control has been loosened and the quality has been improving.
The story of the "Ghoul" was truly a tragic one. Such was the pain of his skin condition, that even when Marshall the rat squeaked in torment at his death, the "Ghoul" stayed completely silent, fully accepting his fate.

"Is the kingdom corrupt, and the king must be overthrown?!"
"No, not very corrupt, no."
Ah, I see, just the usual level of corrupt, then.
“Corrupt? Only a little. Definitely below average.”
Average rate of corruption, nothing out of ordinary
And the town's guard captain? Yeah he's very nice. Only one weekly whipping for everyone and two hangings are mandatory. He even lets you live if you speak ill of him or the king. A very nice man.
well if its only a little corrupt then it would be stupid to upset the system in any manner. that might give rise to more corruption

When you killed a rat at the tutorial area and get the message: "With this character's death the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created."
Ah, the power of CHIM
Spared* not killed
World is doomed if you spare him haha
Morrowind is an awesome game
@@mortache Depends on RNG. Are you in a good Marshall world or an evil Marshall world? If you have the Kracked up Kingdom mode enabled you can also get silly clown Marshall.
What game is that from? Sounds fun.
His beautiful little eyes… *sobs
the old guy's acting is so good that you can't help but feel terrible. like the guy is so torn up about marshall and doesn't even know his son is dead
I know I actually nearly cried lol
what? the acting wasn't "terrible" but it was far from good. infact, it sounded exactly like someone who was worried their neighbor might bitch if they heard real acting through the thin walls.
Damn totally true. I definitely could use a sequel with them alive or something. Just thinking on the casual disgraces haunts me.
I like how you noticed the punchline of the video.
@@Layarion you must be fun at parties
There's something about the "ghoul" just casually turning his head to notice the crazed swordsman charging towards him that makes me literally laugh out loud!
me too.. his reaction was so real and funny ..it shocked me a bit and i was like " wtf" thats dope
The UA-cam algorithm is so weird, you get gems like this in a sea of “shitpost status” vids
Garbage in, garbage out. The algorithm gives me mostly edutainment and ASMR.
I'm glad the I stumbled across this gem lmao.
@@RobertWarrenGilmore yeah I have main categories but I feel like there’s a low-effort of the month video type that UA-cam tends to recommend. I removed every vid on my feed and they disappear
That is so fucking relatable
Wtf you too? I watched one Shit post status video and BAM! Everywhere!
Right after he mentioned his missing son, I suddenly thought "oh no" 😂
twists like this are why I've learned to never kill anything that isn't aggro against me first, unless I'm in a bandit's lair or something and I have to kill guards stealthily. In Skyrim, I walked into a vampire's home and he was faced away from me and didn't hear me somehow, and so I tried to talk to him and he turned around and instantly attacked. So my philosophy doesn't always serve me well lol
All ES have no twists kill fucking everything
Have you ever played undertale?
@@A_328FL yes. Genocide runs of Skyrim are the best

MISSING:
MARSHALL THE TOWN RAT
REWARD:
OUR ETERNAL GRATITUDE
what a cheap town lol
Watching the second run of this game, the town deserved to burn by the rat.
yeah but you can take everything and no one will care, good for money
Reputation gain is a thing and usually makes vendor wares a little bit cheaper, so technically that's still a reward.
2 dirt blocks take it or leave it
@@acherrysodacan rat run is the key to the true ending
“I really fucked this up” - felt 💔
The old villager sounds so innocent and wholesome with the way he said “did ya see him?”
In Cambodia, I saw an old man who sold shoes. I thought: "Wow. He's such a nice guy; a gentle soul."
Later, when I told my wife not to buy his shoes 'cause I hate high heels, he was furious, and asked her who I was. When he heard I was the husband, he was frustrated. He was a monster out of greed. Dr. Jekylls in the world seem nice.
@@scintillam_dei Did he also facilitate "Gentle Soles"?

And right when he says "die" he grows bottom teeth

That took all of about a minute to become a villain
Hero = breaking into homes and picking up items.
Didn't take long for this adventurer lol
If you watch Camelworks videos on what goes on in e.g. Skyrim that is not just served to you on a platter you realize that you mostly are just a puppet most of the time, doing bad things that people expect you to do and that then are perceived by them as good and vice versa.
Which tells me one thing: Don't give a fuck whether people give you praise or not, just follow your heart :P Because being dependent on people's praise makes you susceptible to manipulation.

Nah, adult swim pushes comedy and writing under the rug for corporate moneygrubbing.
@@TheMarlz2 not necessarily. I find their stuff is mostly miss than hits but they have some good nuggets. Like with jack stauber, tigtone, etc. The main weakness is their connection with cartoon network. But recently their control has been loosened and the quality has been improving.
I expected the rat to kill him because he was low level
That would be the morrowind experience yes :D
Daggerfall too, at least he didn't have a phobia of rats.
@@dr.velious5411 Daggerfall is so underrated.

It would be mainstream
The story of the "Ghoul" was truly a tragic one. Such was the pain of his skin condition, that even when Marshall the rat squeaked in torment at his death, the "Ghoul" stayed completely silent, fully accepting his fate.
lmfao
Good God lol dead
When Marshall was killed it screwed up the quest’s script the “ghoul” was in, so he just stood there.
@@MisterJohnDoe He was also deaf. Very sad
