[@graysonofthewood3747]

A few years ago, I used to not be able to tell the difference between Scott’s and Michael’s voices, which did make me think they were brothers. Drew’s voice was very distinct, though I didn’t realize at first that he has a more British accent vs Scott and Michael. Once the podcast started and I was able to connect the voices with faces in my brain, it got much easier to know who’s voice was whose.

[@Riflery]

4 years of watching this channel, and I still can't tell the difference.

[@StoicDivinity]

Can't believe y'all not only passed on Malacath, but then Drew had the AUDACITY to cite the tusks as a reason to pass. *The tusks are the best part!* Do you have ANY idea how dexterous his lips would have to be to speak even somewhat coherently around tusks?

31:38 You certainly cannot have smashing without ramifications, arguing smashing as a process is a sort of a ram-ification. Edit 1: Theorycrafting time: Scott pulled out the "cheese" joke to intentionally sabotage Sheogorath's f*ckability as part of his ongoing animosity against the prince : P

[@simontheblind8417]

I think the issue of the voiced protagonists would be solved if Bethesda would take another, serious stab at parallel game series set within TES, and restrict the voiced protagonists to these more action-adventure RPG-style games. .

[@ericamborsky3230]

Yeah, I agree. I feel the problem with the player character in Fallout 4 is that the voice lines put them in a middle ground between a blank slate avatar who you can project character, tone and exact wording onto and an established character and they just wind up with the worst of both worlds.

[@smuggrog9821]

Yeah agreed, honestly I wouldn't mind if Bethesda brought back the Elder Scrolls Adventure games. a more linear, Witcher styled rpg, with a fixed character would be cool to see.

[@Trynt33]

Yeah, Cyrus was a pretty fun character. It'd be cool to see more side adventure games with their own unique protagonists and showcasing some interesting moments of Tamriel like the Empire arriving in Hammerfell for Redguard

[@DaneInTheUS]

They fucking did it lol Edit: Hard pass on Malacath - he was pooped out guys! How did that not come up? You worry about his personality? That's hardly the main issue lol

[@Mary_Beth_Reimer]

When I was first watching Fudgemuppet videos, I did have a hard time telling Scott & Michael's voices apart, but I can now. Drew has always sounded different, I picked up on the UK accent.

[@brysontadlock2638]

This is late but I hope you recovered well my friend 😊

[@EyeOfMagnus4E201]

Referring to the Fallout 4 settlement system which you all were talking about at the end, the worst part wasn’t necessarily the large amount of settlements (though it was way overdone), but the constant hand-holding after you set things up. No matter how well fortified and well armed with heavy firepower you gave a settlement, it seems they couldn’t fight off even small bands of raiders, and once any little thing broke, the only person apparently able to fix anything was the Sole Survivor. I honestly wanted to like the Minute Men, but in most of my newer play throughs I avoided them like the plague, not even talking to Preston after the museum (hey, free power armor is hard to say no to). It’s hard to get through the game when you’re babysitting a whole commonwealth full of helpless settlers.

[@antiochus87]

Yeah that was my complaint too. It never mattered how much you decked out the settlements or the settlers, they were always dead weights that needed babysitting. What I'd prefer is if they made them get to a level where they became properly safe bases of a full on faction and instead they might give you quests to take out raider or supermutant bases in the area.

[@komiks42]

Yea. That sucked. I could have settlers armed to the teeth, with heavy combat armor, plasma weapons, some run with gatling lasers and power armor. Settlement surrounded by concrete wall, guarded by sentinel robots and turrets. And then, 6 raiders could kidnapp one of my settlers if i don't show up. Like, c'mon.

[@bitysmith]

Re: sounding similar. When I listened casually, a video rarely or every once in awhile, I definitely thought the channel was run by one guy. I think I just didn’t process when you guys would say your names in videos, and then prior to the podcast I don’t think you guys did voiced videos together? But when I started listening I think I remembered the “Drew the daedrologist” and then Scott or Michael did a video and I actually processed the name and was like “WHAT” and that’s when I realized. But Michael and Scott sound fairly similar, but Drew sounds different (deeper voice, different accent) but it gives me a good chuckle when on every podcast video there’s the inevitable “holy shit it’s three different guys” comment.
