Take a shot every time a battlefield becomes completely immolated in cursed fire after chapter 2.

[@perryborn2777]

you trying to kill everyone?

[@MisterZimbabwe]

My health insurance doesn't cover multiple liver transplants.

[@remiwithoutfamily]

@@MisterZimbabwe It's worth moving to Canada just for that. I'm on my 4th liver as we speak.

[@FeedMeFacts841]

I've only left the tutorial island once and I'd be shitfaced before I got through the swamp.

[@lakota2-1warden]

RIP, Liver failure

[@nerdolo748]

Me: he is weirdly relatable Stat-Edgy: Maybe I should call it chronicles of ADHD adult Me: oh. That's why.

[@M2Mil7er]

felt that to my core.

[@onetitwndr]

You know you truly love a game when you play it even in your dreams and any free time you have to you spend strategizing and planning out your next course of action

[@557deadpool]

Me when I got back into Yugioh

[@Deioth]

That quack should become the new standard censorship sound. Strategizing and tactics with friends can really make this game fun. Recently duo'd through it with a friend and were able to defeat the demon guy in the final act underleveled. We were doing standard difficulty with Lone Wolf, granted lots of cake walk once we were established, but that was one fight that required tons of tactics, more than the final fight. Lots of line of sight, popping curatives and potions behind a door, creating walls, lining enemies up for big hits, we eventually had the whole place down to just the demon and coordinated CC chains until it dropped. And in the final fight we kept teleporting enemies into each other and eventually worked up the situation where we could pound the BBEG in mush cleanly and safely. We also had one of the single most intense PvP experiences I've ever had (and it was friggen turn based) doing the arenas. My build wasn't fully completed yet for whatever weird hodge podge I cobbled together in hopes it'd work, but I had utility. Despite the fact that one to two hits would heal him to full from Necromancy, I had the means of keeping away until my cooldowns were ready and his were burned. Like 10-15 straight minutes of a duel finally culminated in a few good CC chains, him missing a crucial attack, and my cooldowns finishing just in time for me to finish him. We agreed that means I should become Divine at the end of the game so I did lol it was good stuff. I was undead dwarf he was Fane.

[@Kekkakek]

Hello there! The German (Langolini) is here with his shitpost alt account. Amazing experience playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 with Paul and it does a lot for ones mental health to rekindle joy in your most beloved hobby by just playing it together with a friend. While the video making process was a more complex one this time around, you know the kind where you have to find the actual video in the footage to begin with, i think the experiment was overall a really good idea. At the end of the day i think the goal was simply finding the fun again. And we did. My bias is obvious towards the video but i still have to say that i laughed my ass of through the video. Had tears in my eyes at the end and side cramps. 😂 I also learned something about myself thanks to that video: I am slightly psychopathic. The man speaks the truth there. Love me Strat, love me chat, love me youtube shitposters, love me numbers, simple as. 💋💖 Have a good one guys and throw the man a bone if you can, he deserves it!

[@probablythedm1669]

"Slightly psycopathic"... I see your villain origin story has just begun! 🤣

[@bigman3274]

I love when I get to see two people enjoying a co-op game together so much. Games were made to be enjoyed. edit: 16:11 Center icon. Skeleton gang.

[@Revanchist]

Next video?

[@thefinegameofnil7158]

The inability to apply status effects without first depleting an enemy's "magic armor" bar CAUSED my depression..

[@elvenatheart982]

Yeah sadly this game annoyed the frick af of me, after chapter 2 every fight is a race to see who deal meore dmg in a turn and then cc the enemy. If you get ccd or moved around ur frickes

[@KevinNguyen-te5cm]

Isn't there a talent from one of the giftbag mods that nullifies this? I recall seeing one that makes status effects ignore armor

[@KevinNguyen-te5cm]

Torturer talent

[@Saviorselves]

Can we get a review of Outward soon. Something maybe you and Salt Factory could co-op on.

[@InstantZzz]

I love this game. Played solo, 4P co-op, and 2P co-op. It's always a great time.

[@wrbrown571]

I'm glad that this has a therapeutic effect for you as well as entertainment value. You've shared a lot of your struggles with us and it's appreciated. I believe many of us who follow you can relate to some degree, especially since 2020 🧐. Thank you. It was a really enjoyable installment, I played the first Divinity original sin and was not prepared for just how engrossing the game was. Speaking of which, have you considered doing something with Hades? While different, it also has a way of drawing you in and getting you to peel off each layer to see just how deep that game is and how rich of a world the developers have created. Just a thought.

[@Peterbyte]

16:10 I love how scared all your desktop icons are of kenshi

[@susch7466]

40 was not he age people died back in the day. the average life expentancy was 40 because dying as a baby or child was extremely common.

[@HellishSpoon]

wow i started playing this game again and boom! there you are. ah the universe and its funny little coincidences, delightful.

[@leninthebeaniesouhacker.2459]

if you want another coop crpg to play with him after this, wasteland 3 is the best bet

[@wyrdstone]

This video, and the latter discussion towards the end of rhe video, reminds me of a youtuber that left years ago called Chadunda. Over the course of several years, viewers witnessed the transformation of how multiplayer gaming had on his life, slowly pulling him out of the single player cocoon. The personal, and positive, impact that it had was something wonderful, and I took a moment to rewatch his catalog. After I finished this video of course, I can't help, but watch all things Divinity. I've always had bad internet connectivity, so the mental blockage that prevents me from enjoying multiplayer games is instilled on a deep fundamental level. Even when I have a chance to play with friends, I can only do so for half an hour before a creeping sense of wanting to leave sets in. Even with my internet being quite good, it's a stigma I can't escape. I think a lot of people have this issue, but all it takes is the right game, and the right people, to change.

[@garfeellsagna3326]

Glad you liked I felt it was incredible game once you get a hang for the systems . Good gameplay, story and world building .

[@AveSicarius]

It's what honestly changed my mind regarding optimal CRPG mechanics. Now I can't imagine the future being RTwP now given the amount of insane environmental interactivity and overall tactical depth DOS2 had. I'm beyond glad Larian got the BG3 license!

[@somerandomrpgenthusiast8451]

You're one of the earliest KZbinrs I started watching and you inspired my love of RPGs. Glad to see you keep uploading!

[@anthonyzellner440]

I also was wondering wth this video was by the middle of it and it’s funny you made that comment near the end . Tbh I don’t play 90 percent of the games you make videos on I just like your sense of humor and enjoy listening to your commentary.

[@Stealth86651]

Been looking forward to playing this for a bit now, but still working my way through the first one. Thanks for the review/content, it's greatly appreciated.

[@dadman3992]

"I installed a mod to add some extra challenge. I installed: Windows 11." 🤣

[@ded2thaworld963]

I still haven’t finished this game. Had it since nearly the start and yet barely make it past fort joy every time i start a play through….

[@Rodelero]

Same

[@nateydanger]

I've put about 10 hours over 4 months on that section of Elden Ring and had the EXACT same reaction. I too have gone too far in Elden Ring to enjoy it. Solidarity brother.

[@StratEdgyProductions]

Nate! How you been, man? Saw you've been DMing lately.

[@ClarkKentai]

I highly recommend co-op in Streets of Rogue. Teamwork feels so good in that game.

[@Alex-ip1dn]

Thank you Strat and Langolini.

[@elvenatheart982]

Aa an introvert, I feel you. Dang

[@crabjuice47]

Thanks for the ASMR mate. I emailed you about it and you delivered thanks. Still didn't play my game though. Olgob The Bold. But hey, beggers cannot be choosers.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

Well I quite enjoyed your narration of your day at the beginning, didn't expect that at all. Anyway this has made me nostalgic for a time when I could play games with friends all the time and I miss it, it's been a depressing amount of time since. You want to do more multiplayer shenanigans, go for it the footage was entertaining and I concur that the duck quacking should now and forever be the soundbite for censorship.

[@maxmustermann-zx9yq]

seriously thieving in video games becomes as much as picking everything of the ground in Kingdom Come Deliverance I went on such a break in spree the towns guard became super paranoid and started checking my invventory about every 5 min I stole multiple merchants whole inventories, it was so much Groschen I had to wait for the seller to get richer before I could even sell it all sure you can't be seen in Town with recently stolen gear, but after waiting a something like a couple of weaks alot of the stuff the merchants restock and I could just buy high tier stuff

[@onatgz]

free comment to boost visibility!

[@Avidire]

I completely forgot that I recently finished this game, all I can remember is the Divine part and forgot the ending

[@michiganjack1337]

"I'm too far into Elden Ring to enjoy it." 🤣🤣 - That struck a chord with me.

[@thiagraham.]

Smells worse over here than a dozen rotten eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar!

[@johnathanflannagan2407]

This is still one of my favorite RPG’s of all time, though I’ve been hard-pressed trying to get anyone to play with me

[@jamham99]

Good video, hopefully the abominable intelligence behind KZbin doesn't punish you for it since after I bitched about your recent videos a while back this is what's enjoyable to watch. It's rambling and meandering but it's a person talking about games from a personal perspective which is why I started watching you

[@Hemperbud]

First time viewer here! Great video, very relatable lol. Also, has anyone ever told you, you sound like Owen Wilson 😂

[@Wickow]

I do use your videos to sleep, but then I also rewatch them the morning after

[@charmicarmicat2981]

God damn it, I was about to go to sleep. Fuck it, let’s crack another beer and watch the new strat edgy vid

[@paradocks23]

Oh hey, a new Strat video. Hell yeah.

[@WHITEDIRTV]

Oh man 20 seconds in and you are speaking TOO MUCH TRUTH. God damn 🤣

[@maniacalgod]

I remember the 1st time I got to the torturers boss fight I was like "okay I'm ready" and he was like I see you have the sweet flesh of this lizard girl give it to me so I did and he let me go but I was like thanks but also damn .... I want your loot so you're going to have to die....

[@Shmandalf]

Wish my friends liked these kinds of games, lol. Kinda sucks being the only one of my friends that enjoys strategy games - I've tried playing with other folks from their respective communities but it always ends up being "play one time and then never see them again."

[@kitkat12326]

I love playing with murderhobo's

[@AHHHb0bSaggot]

So excited for Baldurs gate III

[@Jarlegand]

Wow, you intro is like, very relatable.

[@StonedPeter]

I love how all over the place the start of this video is

[@alifadila3364]

I loved this video) And I would love to see more.

[@jermainegrays]

The Bill Burr edit 🤣🤣

[@perryborn2777]

Wild to see that you play bass as well But I'd have to disagree about STP having a better bassist than Pearl Jam. They're both fantastic musicians in their own right

[@carltonwadleyj]

Thank you for the video

[@peddypeoples941]

multiplayer games, mmos, rpgs helped keep me same over the last 20+ years or so. Doing stuff online with cool people lets one almost forget that most people are batshit crazy and best avoided. greetings from germany, rock on man:)

[@dimi7242]

Thanks for the video, it was highly entertaining!

[@gaidenblattner176]

Yes!! I DO remember how you were supposed to do Fallout 3!

[@Tanuvein]

I actually find Lucky Charm to be the best social skill. You will have so much spare epic gear everything you can buy or steal is subpar and more difficult to attain.

[@saberreiter8569]

Ze Dschörmäns don't know mercy, they only know efficiency.

[@CampRodeo777]

This game……this…..game ❤️ one of my top 5 games of all time so many hours with one of my closest friends playing this every single way we could

[@themurmeli88]

7:10 Sorry, but I'm gonna be that guy and be all: Actually, the common age of death has never been around 30 or 40, not even during in "cave times". The average age of death is scewed, because infant and child mortality, and that has been extremely high in the past, but not for actual adults, once they made it that far. And that's the reason for this myth/misconception.

[@feistyylilthing]

Damn dude you got a shit ton of patrons !

[@MadisonRamanamabangbang]

I played it wirh friends! We argued a lot and didnt get far but it was fun! I had to play a mercanary because they started a couple minutes early cause I was installing and it was funmy seeing them gaining mythical powers while I was just vibing as a little dwarf with a spear

[@MrMalimer]

Honestly games are the best way for low dopamine folks to get a bit of mental space. Even better with friends. During the pandemic I remember that I had more external social contact than my partner because I could jump on a call with the boys to game.

[@brunovega6479]

the STP bit has me convinced there's a worldwide gasleak I somehow managed to avoid

[@rhettknott9989]

Bro it"s so funny. My friend and I basically did the same playthrough as you. I played a Summoner and he was a warrior with Polymorph skills and my summon and I were way more powerful than him. It was super unbalanced i felt bad lol.

[@zdarklurker2623]

Man. Damn. I felt myself in your intro way too much for comfort.

[@hitch1485]

The beginning of this video really spoke to me

[@uileam161]

You called it on STP v Pearl Jam bass parts. Pearl Jam wins out overall because Eddie’s lyrics are, on average, somewhat less bad than Scott’s. And Mike McCready. Mike’s a rather divine guitarist.

[@MilkJugA_]

Yeeesss this game is the PEAK co-op game. I actually made a huge video on it playing the whole game with my friends if ppl wanna see

[@dangilboa6496]

My take: Disco Elysium! One of the greatest games ever. need to play it again.

[@tehbrewtal]

Someone was min maxing and it wasn't strat

[@diegonarvaez6214]

Can you do Temple of Elemental Evil next?

[@doctord.ph.d.4986]

Man, everybody sleeps on TOEE, I'd love to see some coverage

[@MichusubPl]

Started pathfinder kingmaker recently. Original sin 1 in next on my list and then original sin 2

[@Derekonthesax]

Hell yeah Rocksmith forever!

[@joyfulfishman5445]

I thought bro already covered this game? Hmmm… back for more 😳

[@Distophic]

I would say you're just like me but I'm not gonna be balding in my 30's and 40's. Tell me when it starts, I'm scared.

[@erickeller6447]

This is by far one of the best games I have ever played! Seriously I would put it up there with Skyrim. I know it's different but I think people will understand the comparison.

[@jasonpabstract4384]

I haven't finished watching the video yet but I needed to chime in to say that I think STP's first album still better than most of Pearl Jam's output. I still like Pearl Jam and all but these days they old stuff sounds kinda weak and also imagine picking a fight with TicketMaster. Lmao Seattle band.

[@wiaf8937]

ah, yess the feet fest, werer we feet ourselves . i membur

[@TheLeekos]

I don't remeber this start on the ship

[@kademcneely6009]

Make a video like this again where you just have fun. Or same thing with a different game.

[@YourPalKindred]

Do you think you would ever do a video on Diablo 1/2? They seem up your alley

[@dennisselleck1281]

So much respect for playing bass.

[@BlastedCharacterLimi]

[To anyone that listens to the start of this video and finds themselves strongly relating to it, you might want to look into neurodivergence if you haven't already - a lot of these thought patterns are pretty common among ADHD/ASD folks, and though it's not a fix for the overall problem, the sense of community and shared experience can really help you to process things better]

[@jakedill1304]

Hey, you fix the sound but not the aspect ratio? I still don't understand how people do that is that cuz you're living in Florida right now.. just like the old people home just consumed you.?

[@chevalierdesans-lys809]

This guy is literally me.

[@misterkefir]

oof!

[@winterburden]

I can't stand that game. Mostly because you have to replace all your equipment almost every level, and there are so many equipment slots it gets really tedious.

[@theCityBear]

Very cool video.

[@dylanclark9903]

Having a good video game to look forward to really makes this vapid modern life soooo much more bearable… I just started Persona 5 and it has been a godsend

[@EnordAreven]

Excellenté

[@TrueChaoSclx]

I have started this game three times with three different people and never finished chapter 2 because they always just stop wanting to play.

[@tigrafrog]

wait, is it that game where you can kill anything with a heavy chest and telekinesis?

[@chels3707]

I'm STILL annoyed the Red Prince ditches you for the Red Princess.

[@stephanuz7571]

Hey Strat; if you ever need a group for online tabletop RPG’s, feel free to hit me up. Keep it up pall!

[@adamswing6115]

There is absolutely no fucking way stp's bass player is better than Pearl Jam's lmao

[@bernard12324]

PLEASE I BEG FOR NEVERWINTER PLEASE STRAT WE NEED IT

[@lolsfordays5921]

Make a video on dragons dogma already

[@locke03]

This intro is extremely relatable and I don't like it!

[@ryanthele9346]

I’m too high for this video

[@CrazyxEnigma]

Who the fuck are saying STP are a rip off band? They aren't my favorite of the 90s grunge bands( AiC and Soundgarden) but they are extremely talented musicians. Now to finish the video.

[@PDXM4RK]

Top ten rpgs u won’t

[@SupremeYusuke]

This game has stolen 800 hours of my life

[@vaporsaver]

Good game, personally prefer Pillars.

[@TheGregoryodd]

That’s incredible that people are still making the STP is fake Pearl Jam argument in 2023. I mean, that criticism came into being as soon as STP had their first hit lol
