I like how he is genuinely sad over the death, of the fighters, in the very first pannel. Yes, he doesn't want to get a job, but he's also willing to risk himself and defy that idea that he just sends people into the grinder. The fact that he's drunk, just makes it better. Alcohol removes reservations. People are more likely to do and say, what they really think and want to do. Instead of getting angry at his fighters, or throwing abuse in a drunk tantrum, he runs in to avenge the fallen and risk himself for once. That's a genuinely admirable thing to do.

[@impossibleexperiments]

The heir has this funny town event where multiple show up and of course all of them claim to be the *true* heir. Having multiple true heirs fits very well with the whimsical nature of this class.

[@pancakeoverlord1886]

Really?i have never seen that

[@Failous]

There can only be one......"sharpens knife"

[@dark7element]

Well, considering that the opening cinematic shows the ancestor fooling around with a couple of much younger prostitutes, I think there being more than a few "true heirs" is likely...

[@MrTigracho]

[@toolatetothestory]

@@dark7element Just for that I want to make a class called "Lucky Bastard", who isn't a proper, recognized Heir but just managed to get the spot anyways because everyone else is dead

[@eduardodiaz9942]

No wonder sharing his wine gives him stress. Fine wine bottles can be expensive as heck.

[@helmiboboy]

One simply know that Fine Wine is up to RM 8,560 sold as a unit at Malaysia. Try to imagine that..

[@fattytan1377]

Good thing I hate the smell of wine. It's expensive. It's addicting (according to some people). And it does nothing good (learned that from mah Muslim friend)

[@OverseerMoti]

This class is for you, the players, who really take it personally.

[@Napoleon637]

[@trrebi981]

Kaxen’s side comics are pretty cool. Abomination is dating the Hellion. The sweater skin for Abomination was given to him by the Heir. Plague doctor tried to stage an alcohol intervention for him. Oh yeah! There’s a female heir skin in the works too, along with a pet trinket mod for the rest of the classes.

[@E5games]

Yes! I definitely recommend checking out her tumblr: kaxenart.tumblr.com/

[@Xicarah]

They both also like ugly men

[@NuniaBiznaz]

I like to think that this little guy is the player's little brother that's helping him on the more administrative and/or civilian side of things while you take care of leading the heroes to -their deaths- burn out the estate's evil, who then decided to tag along for one of the adventures.

[@eelektrosszeboss3346]

With how this game goes sometimes, I wouldn't be surprised if this was to represent the player.

[@emilianorios4761]

Nah, if you know anything about inheritance then you're probably sending him to his death for no competition and to stop him from potentiality killing you

[@anonymus5637]

@@emilianorios4761 Maybe this Heir thought about doing that... But then they both realized what did this “Inheritance” mean (And I wouldn't kill my family over some ruins that have a road to an Eldritch Being anyways)

[@Failous]

That is why he is the heir, he is next in line to take over if the MC "the leader of this crusade" dies or goes mad.

[@toolatetothestory]

@@Failous Ohhhhhhhhhhh, very good thought!

[@kauedasilva1072]

1:32 Actually this mod got updated so they now bring White Wine. They can heal health and stress while curing blight.

[@timothywilcox1539]

And can be used in combat! Super helpful!

[@ButTheCatCameBack]

I don't like the art style of the character, but I like the idea of a variation on the resource enhancement of the Antiquarian.

[@mikelms20]

My dude. Sometimes the mod feel a bit broken But they spice up my game, thank you for bringing these to the spotlight

[@horsemam]

You don't know how happy i was to find an active DD youtuber/streamer, i started watching your videos a few weeks ago, and i just finished going through all the PBD ones, can't say how much i learned from you, thanks for the great job and enthusiasm on all your videos mates, love every reaction. Keep up the good work

[@E5games]

Thank you so much, Gabriel! Means the world.

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

Mod should have just a single Heir and an instant game over if the he dies.

[@bongosmcdongos4190]

Nah there's always HIS heir

[@dark7element]

Considering what the Ancestor used to be like, I think it's a solid bet that he had more than a single heir running around.

[@heartlessmushroom]

God I love this. Not sure if the wonderful levity brought by this character eases or makes the cosmic horror even harsher due to the nature of the game and its story. But what I do know is, YOU CAN BECOME THE WINE SKELETON.

[@obliviousnaga2633]

I was on the fence with this mod. Going to reconsider it

[@GeraltofRivia22]

Such a wholesome mod, love it.

[@BartixShieldsmen]

More reynauld and dismas backstory is fun to see, would love to see if they get their own official little story in the next game!

[@Sketlaz]

I found your channel a few weeks ago and i blasted through the mod reviews so you could imagine my excitement seeing this pop up in my feed.

[@E5games]

So glad you're enjoying them, Joe!

[@linkmariokirby7373]

Love that Promotion is a stress heal. "Good news! I'm gonna pay you more!" "Thank God! I've momentarily forgotten how utterly boned we are!"

[@AdonanS]

I find it kind of funny that he's ill-prepared for adventure. Imagine sending him into the darkest dungeon, only to have him come out with a full beard and a tangled web of hair on his chest.

[@splinter4161]

He won't come back out.......... lol

[@Luxai]

Worth noting that Heir now has his own wine bottle provision. You got 2 of then. The rightful heiress, another mod with the same ancestral story, also provides 2 bottles. have both and you get 4. very useful for deal with stress

[@sunsetsynth]

10:55 I just adore the Promotion sound effect. It’s so delightfully cheesy

[@feesh4708]

I think this is my favorite character mod, it's just so good.

[@selensewar]

Now we can scream at those goblet skeletons *THIS IS HOW IT FEEELS* when it crits.

[@heroesoftomorrow3488]

I wonder what is his quote over being chosen to be the target for "Come unto your maker"? I actually thought one up myself "This crusade started with me, and so it ends with me...*hic*"

[@francomiguelperillo6495]

His Promotion ability evolves whit time. The more level it has, the more effects it will gain (for example, + damage). Also, one of his CoM trinkets restarts the CD of his abilities when killing an enemy.

[@sixlands3601]

I like this mod, and I like the other heir mod too, I wish their authors would collab on something. But ever since I saw what went on between the two of them, that's probably never going to happen sadface.

[@greatpower6063]

I'm not sure what happened between them. What was that?

[@KWCHope]

10:56 omg, I wasn't convinced of this characters usefullness until this moment

[@johnmoo8072]

Boy oh boy, if only the Heir knew what horrors await him in the Darkest Dungeon. I'd be sad to lose him during the very end when fighting "That Thing that shall not be Named". And he's just a kid, or a really small adult, if he went to a university I'm sure he's a adult. Doesn't matter, I think he's neat, and they'll be a female version too! Coolio~ I appreciate the video, it was fun :3

[@omikamiz568]

Combine with Cho boss rework trinket "Wilbur bandana" which mark target that user hit . Heir can turn into extremely powerful support for mark comp.

[@somnius2519]

7:53 Never have I needed something so much and not known it until I saw it.

[@Luxai]

Worth mentioning is that the current version adds two bottles of wine to the inventory (which I assume stack with more heirs) which does a little heal and and also heals 15 stress. Good for those moments where you have a stress healer but are afraid enemies will act first and focus stress.

[@rando5638]

Tfw the boss gets tired of planning expeditions, supplying adventuring parties and running a full-scale civil reconstruction all at the same time and decides to tag along with the next expedition himself to see if it'd really be that bad if he just walked away (following several bottles of Dutch courage, of course). And then it turns out that it really, really WOULD be that bad.

[@toadoncoke7452]

Keep up the good work elementFive

[@E5games]

Thanks, Toad. 👍🐸

[@pvtblu1613]

I mean, you could fluff it as you taking matters in your own hands, or siblings.

[@herczy]

I recently tried it, you actually get a custom provision called "White Whine" (x2) that does a bit of heal and stress heal. Also, maybe cures blight/bleed?

[@sethleoric2598]

I love the time period here, it's like around the 80 years war period

[@rebelyell5977]

Like how the heir only drinks white wine after crazy uncle June’s little “mixing “ of the family red

[@anonymus5637]

Maybe that was done with the intention to show that the Heir is not like it's Ancestor... At all, at least

[@altairfaltore7261]

Hum let see if those bone courtier enjoy some fine wine, I would have liked a reduce resolve gain for more stress reduction.

[@signor_zuzzu]

Hope to see the black swordsman next

[@kingskelett6265]

In the last Panel of his comic Dismas also has the affliction symbol, the signs combine with the background

[@Hydranus]

E5 when are you going to start streaming again I miss watching you stream!

[@E5games]

I had hoped a couple weeks ago.. but the rebuild of my office and audio are now finished. If tests go well tomorrow, we'll begin a new stream schedule in the next few days!

[@Emberheart_]

I like how the heir is basically the player coming along into the dungeon. It's too bad they can't code it so that if the heir dies, the game ends as technically the player would be dead.

[@H2OHydraulic]

Is it just me, or did anyone else laugh at that little horn bit at the promotion skill?

[@themiller3940]

I hate the idea of a rightful hier in darkest dungeon but this is so well pulled off I cant be mad at it

[@masonb4717]

btw, with the dagger trinket that add his dmg per killing, the longer the dungeon is a stronger DPS the heir can grow into

[@bruvocado]

I just love those videos about mods

[@Unbottled.Water23]

So it’s like the heir is YOU the player and most likely Reynauld is his body guard and dismiss is like his tutor

[@thyrussendria8198]

In the origin comic's last panel, Dismas has an affliction crown if you look closely.

[@MoldyMrWaffles]

There's also a few other surprises you get from that mod that should be fun to find :>

[@shayposting]

That fucking Promotion sound effect lmao

[@leaguesmanoframsgate]

I wrote some of the barks for this mod - at least, I hope I did. I don't remember if they were included in the final product. =]

little reference to gravity falls in book at 9:58, the hand on the book

[@jonas5970]

yes moar vids also can you do the twilight knight next and maybe also cover trinkets

[@arieldawn3452]

A mod for when you get so pissed off at the game that you're like "I could do better than you lot!!!" And then the game shows you "Yeah, no... You suck even worse."

[@maxwelldavidson4157]

Ever since watching the last kingdom, I just can't look at this character without wanting to name him Æthelwold.

[@blackguard5181]

Like to use him as the stress healer for the thrall, get a freaky "master in same party as slave" thing going with a slave that could pulverize his owner with a finger flick. "That's a good 10 foot tall murder blender, have sone wine, keep calm... remain... calm.."

[@lionheart6176]

there is another heir mod which is sort of the opposite of this one...unlike being the rich kid heir...the other heir is a scholar of the occult and has studied the ancestor's notes...she's a mix of occultist and vestal i believe

[@gabrote42]

Too bad the Heir usurped the rightful Heir because of the letter.

[@1618dude]

How can you have two heirs? I remember that the modder himself, during development, said that the heir wouldn't be able to accompany another heir in the same expedition? Did he change that? Regardless, this mod is amusing, and I actually really like the idea of him being to able to stash more heirlooms. I'm having a heirloom problem in my current playthrough... I'll probably try him out.

[@Eric_Nomad_Hixtone]

He's eh design-wise, boi-ish unlike what he is in the DD2 and seems less badass than other heroes but fine, gameplay is nice

[@thomasneal9291]

meh. it's basically a halfway version between librarian and antiquarian, but not as good at either job. it doesn't need a debuff, it needs a buff. the camping skills seem fine.

[@scrunglebungus4992]

do you have a modlist that you use? I would love to see all the mods you use and use them for myself

[@csabawars]

There is a Monster girl Character pack too. Its give you 3 new warrior :) Care their alternative skins are lewd! But the ideas is great! Monstergirl leader is a character summoner. Slime girl is a glasscanon with high self damage but her abilitys dont end her round. And have a mecha jade who is a stress healer.
