This raises the bar by a mile for dark souls content creators. Seriously man, I can tell you put an enormous amount of work into this! Please do more of this! :D
This video is, in my humble opinion, a very welcome change from the usual "lore-hunting" or "lore-dumping" kinds of videos. Not that I dislike those kinds of videos (or else I wouldn't be subscribed to your channel). However, I felt like it was getting a bit stale. This format is refreshing. I may be biased, for I already do a similar thing (both in my head and on paper and not just with Dark Souls) and I find that this "appeals to my sensibilities", for lack of better words. Also, you have a very engaging and elegant way with words. Can't say I am surprised, because your other scripts are very good as well... But, like I said before, this was refreshing. Forget the lore-hunting, this type of personal, interpretative, story-driven videos is just what Dark Souls need and what fits the series' plots as a whole. I did enjoy this very much and I do hope you consider doing more videos in this format in the forseeable future. I'd appreciate it and, by the looks of the comment section, I would not be alone. Thanks, once again, for the great content. Cheers all the way from Portugal, Mitch! EDIT: Also, could you consider discussing Salt and Sanctuary in the future?
This was way better than I had anticipated after 2 minutes. At the end, I was totally immersed in the story you told. The references were all accurate to the lore and everything flowed well. Well done, I'm impressed!
This is fucking amazing. I really appreciate the amount of liberties you're not taking with the thoughts and dialogue of the characters. Everything feels believable, or at least, it doesn't feel like you yourself are talking through the characters. Also, props to you for doing descriptive imagery right, and not just adding boring detail for the sake of detail.
I love this! The way you approached is unique. I'm tired of someone reading the same item descriptions. This gives a different perspective to the characters. I could listen to your tales all day. :D
Please please please continue producing this content. No one else is doing this style of narrative. Even if it's wrong; you've painted a solid picture, and entertained.
When Ornstein was asked to see the princess... I have read enough fanfics to know where this is going. *unzips* Dissapoints... *zips back up* Great vid!
Have you seen Hawkshaw's video on the Chaos Flame and the Witch of Izalith? He makes a pretty convincing case for the Witch's corruption being voluntary, and gradual, rather than violent and instant, as you describe here. It's a good listen, and it might make you reconsider some of the lore from the first (and best) game. P.S. Lovely video, mate. Nice change of pace from your regular fare; I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
this was incredible masterful thank you for this wonderful work of art. very well layed out I closed my eyes and could vividly see everything described I would love to see more thanks for your time
This was honestly beautiful. I've never been so enthralled in a short story like this in my life I felt every feeling that was conveyed and then some. This is the first video I've watched on your channel and definitely won't be the last keep being amazing dude. P.S How does this video not have more views? Everybody that claims to love souls lore should watch this video imo
I'd like to see one on Arty and Cirian. Give me your thoughts on this though. Arty and Cirian have no accolades for dragon slaying like Ornstien and Gough do. But you do hear about how many humans they've killed. Do you think they became Knights of Gwyn from their actions in the Occult Rebellion, not from the Age of Ancients? Also there's talk about how Cirian had to put in twice the work to get the ornate mask she wears. I look forward to your more character focused videos. This was great!
This was amazing!!! Not was it well written, but it also presented great characterization. I love that your interpretation of Ornstein's character is the same I've always had. I always believed him to be an honorable, respected individual who was very close to Gwyn himself. I also like that this is very consistent with the lore. I'm definitely waiting for the next part, and hope that you really make stories for other characters. Very entertaining way to present the lore and flesh out the story of Dark Souls
as a suggestion, could you do one of these for rise of pontiff sulyvahn from the perspective of vordt, reminiscing on his service as he and the dancer journey to lothric damned to beasthood?
For a moment i felt like traveling back into past times of Anor Londo and be witness of a legendary tale. I literally was able see and feel it when i listened to you telling this great story. Would be nice to see more like this, maybe about Artorias and Sif
Very well made, only about halfway in as I write this but I'm enjoying everything so far and I doubt that'll change before the end. Sometimes I find it hard to understand why you don't get more attention then you do though, your videos are so much higher quality then mostly any other lore-based DS youtuber. Edit; Finished it just about 10 minutes ago, and I would love for you to continue this, it's exactly what I've been looking for lately, something to listen to while drinking tea and laying back on the couch. Haven't had much luck getting into any books and such lately, but this was very enjoyable.
This was amazing! I loved everything about this story. Can't wait to see where Ornstein's journey is headed before leading up to dark souls :) I've loved your videos even before this but now I am definitely considering becoming a patron if it means more awesome stories like this
you have such a capturing voice; it is no match to daddyvidiya's - i have to be honest - but ur voice hypnothises the spectator into remaining attentive to the story. Im happy to have such capable soulstubers without interfering too much in their individual terrains of doing. in short; love u and pls continue the tale, im dying to hear its continuation 🖤🖤🖤🖤😍
dude.......this is fucking AMAZING. 🔥🍻. I really need part 2......like now. for me, I visualized every scene, in more detail than I thought I was capable of. please, carry on Mitch. keep em coming. 🔥🍻
This is marvelous. I love how you put it in a story mode. It help me get a better feeling for the character. PLease make more . I would love all the lore but together like this. One question does anyone know why the name less king sided with the dragons?
Although I see some stuff that could be changed to make the text more refined, this was a fine tale, so much so that I am eager to listen to the other two parts.
do more of this if you enjoy it mate, it's brilliant to finally have someone simply recount stuff in a story format, without endless mentions of 'it's my opinion, tell me what you think' because that shit gets boring!
I'm drawing a blank here guys could anyone help. I can't seem to figure out who Seren is. I'm not good with names. on another note this is what I've been looking for on dark souls for a very long time. since the story is all to your own perspective than I always been surprised that no one has literally wrote stories connecting the dots in dark souls. not like a documentary but literally just writing a short story/novel on one giving them a whole life and adventure. Like what this does with the little clues dark souls gives the writer to use.
Smough's Journey: Hamburger Quest
Excuse me sir, this is a Christian channel, we don't believe in burgers.
Dante actually saw Smough at the third circle but he's punished by eating his thicc ass
*Manburger
@VollBanane derjeniche not KFC but KFH Kentucky fried humans
If you make this an entire series, I'll be forever in your debt. I could listen to stories like this all day
same. absolutely.
This raises the bar by a mile for dark souls content creators. Seriously man, I can tell you put an enormous amount of work into this! Please do more of this! :D
Will do!
3 mins in and I'm already thinking Mitch should be writing books
yeah just finished make a book like the guy did for bloodborne (red grave? I can't remember)
meme taco Agreed should do audio versions too give me something to listen to at work. Awesome work anyways.
I agree
Praise be to the once Queen of Anor Londo, Mistress Velka.
BANNED
**p e r m a b a n n e d**
Sounds like someone has a lack of faith in the mistress.

EDIT: Also, could you consider discussing Salt and Sanctuary in the future?
Thank you Portugal! I really appreciate the feedback! I'll make sure to pick up Salt and Sanctuary soon, don't currently own it.
Badass. Love hearing all the community's knowledge on Ornstein in a first person perspective.
This one was pretty exposition heavy. The next one will have more action, hopefully!
Personally it gives a nice in depth look into the single characters. I say give it a try.
Adan Slusher I like stuff like that. the dialogue between the smough&Ornstein of ages past was incredibly intriguing.
This was way better than I had anticipated after 2 minutes. At the end, I was totally immersed in the story you told. The references were all accurate to the lore and everything flowed well. Well done, I'm impressed!

Hawkshaw's great! I hope he makes more stuff soon. Thanks :)
A absolutely fine job! This is something that I don't usually find on UA-cam but it's better than any short story I've read...
this was incredible masterful thank you for this wonderful work of art. very well layed out I closed my eyes and could vividly see everything described I would love to see more thanks for your time
This was really good, while visually it isn't much your writing is marvelous, hope to see lots more of these.
This was not what I was expecting when it popped up in my subscription box. It was pretty good, and that made it so much better.
This was honestly beautiful. I've never been so enthralled in a short story like this in my life I felt every feeling that was conveyed and then some. This is the first video I've watched on your channel and definitely won't be the last keep being amazing dude.

I look forward to your more character focused videos. This was great!
Best lore interpation ive hever heard, pls continue it - i cant wait for part 2 !!!
That was fucking AMAZING
The vivid imagery and attention to lore was spot on
I would consider becoming a patreon if this keeps up :)
I'll keep pumping 'em out! There's a lot of potential here. Thanks!
This was amazing!!! Not was it well written, but it also presented great characterization. I love that your interpretation of Ornstein's character is the same I've always had.

this was fantastic! would love hear the rest of his arduous journey
That was the best Dark Souls story I have ever heard.
For a moment i felt like traveling back into past times of Anor Londo and be witness of a legendary tale. I literally was able see and feel it when i listened to you telling this great story.
Would be nice to see more like this, maybe about Artorias and Sif
if this were a book i would definetly buy It, looking forward to second part
You could make a book series or novel of this. Love to hear tales like these.
10/10 want another one
this was amazing, can't wait for the next post too continue the story

I have watched and listened to all your souls videos and this is the best by far it's amazing
ahhh the cliffhanger at the end, really good video i'm gonna be waiting for the next part...
Very well made, only about halfway in as I write this but I'm enjoying everything so far and I doubt that'll change before the end.

Thanks! Honestly I'm surprised I get any attention at all. I'll be sure to continue this in the future.
This was amazing! I loved everything about this story. Can't wait to see where Ornstein's journey is headed before leading up to dark souls :) I've loved your videos even before this but now I am definitely considering becoming a patron if it means more awesome stories like this
4 minutes and I already love this, thank u Mitch!!
Thank god another Mitch video.
I hope you continue this tale and write more in the future. 10/10
I knew there was a reason i subscribed. Your writing is inspirational to me as a writer.
I appreciate the game of thrones music, fragments of my two favorite series together in some well done story telling.
This was very enjoyable and I would love to see more!
( in retrospect to hear more)
Excellent work Mitch would love to hear more am looking forward to the next one

This was amazing!
Massively excited for the next :)
Make this a series and never stop making them.
loved this and i would not mind if this became a more frequent thing uploading pov novellas from prominent characters in dark souls that is
that was actually pretty good, i hope his encounter with Nameless King pays off
Started to get a little excited there. Really cool stuff!
I think we can all agree that the souls community needs more of this?
That was awesome. I think you should do more of these story type vids. It's a great listen while doing other things.
you have such a capturing voice; it is no match to daddyvidiya's - i have to be honest - but ur voice hypnothises the spectator into remaining attentive to the story. Im happy to have such capable soulstubers without interfering too much in their individual terrains of doing. in short; love u and pls continue the tale, im dying to hear its continuation 🖤🖤🖤🖤😍
Lagrima wow, thank you so much!

That was amazing thank you! Keep up the great work.
Ooo I really want to know how he got to Heide and then Arch Dragon Peak.
This is marvelous. I love how you put it in a story mode. It help me get a better feeling for the character. PLease make more . I would love all the lore but together like this. One question does anyone know why the name less king sided with the dragons?
that game of thrones music in the background
w8 that red wasn't a plume but his hair?
I liked this. I would include some visuals in the future though; item pictures, or maybe some illustrative game play.
Although I see some stuff that could be changed to make the text more refined, this was a fine tale, so much so that I am eager to listen to the other two parts.
That was fucking awesome. Keep doing videos like these. You should be writing books on Dark Souls characters. Can't wait for Artorias'
Great video. Thank you.
That was amazing I was totally enraptured by it I need more damnit
I'd definitely pay for more of these
that was amazing to listen to. Made driving in traffic tolerable.
It would be awesome if you did this for other characters like Velstadt or Leroy or Artorias.
i acutally really enjoyed this would love more
MAKE MORE PLEASE!!! THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ruins of Farossa? What has that to do with Dark Souls 1 Universe / where should they lie?
Absolutely the best lore

Dude this is fantastic! Thanks!
This was great! Keep up the good work 😄
Dude this is the best thing ever
Nice work, would be cool with a boss fight and walk through anor londo

Damn dude this was reaaaaallly good.
This was fucking amazing, I need more.
Beautiful, just beautiful.

I hope you make one for Bloodborne or Demon Souls Excellent work.
I'm drawing a blank here guys could anyone help. I can't seem to figure out who Seren is.

Fucking fantastic!

Will do!
