Nott & Caleb’s early dynamic is great to rewatch with the knowledge that actually Caleb is the child and Nott is the surrogate parent ☺️

[@Deelusi]

Caleb: mom I want to go home 😔 Nott: no son, socialize!

[@Michael_Raymond]

@@Deelusi Nott: “Tee hee I’m a little goblin girl” Caleb: “MOM stop being WEIRD around my new friends”

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

It's kinda sad, because Caleb actually didn't know this. Like, in one scene, after something bad happened, idr what, Liam literally says "Knowing how young Nott is, Caleb holds her close." Not realizing that Nott was thinking the exact same thing about Caleb in that scene.

[@alexfigueroa1089]

Also so hard to think about how reserved Caleb was to the group with how integrel he is now (Now is relative im still on like ep 72 or whatever)

[@alexdillahunt6908]

@@Hey-Its-Dingo Yeah, I was going to say it depended on who you asked. Both saw themselves as the parent and the other as the child. This, of course, makes their relationship complicated but hilarious to watch.

Nott playing with the drapes as she talks Caleb into giving "the crazies" another shot is kind of adorable

[@jlokison]

Liam and Sam in campaign 2 is a really good example of roleplaying characters that don't want to be part of a group initially. It also helped that Matt made a scenario to force them all to work together.

[@beepboprobotsnot3748]

And then the payoff during the Iron Shepherds Arc was so good!

[@Wolfrover]

Yep. For all people complained about characters that didn't want to be together, it actually made the group dynamic work really well.

[@randomcourier]

@@beepboprobotsnot3748 i remember a little scene after the initial iron shepherds confrontation, Caleb was saying how he was gonna do all this stuff to get jester, fjord an yasha back and Nott asked him why he wanted to do all that, why was he so intent on going after someone... what emotional ties kept him from just walking away and even though he didn't outright say it, both he an Nott knew why he was so passionate about getting his family back.

[@Makkis]

It helped that the two of them were at least loyal to eachother

[@ephemispriest8069]

Except Yasha. She had a pass to GTFO. :D

[@AnInsaneOstrich]

I love that Caleb was kind of right in this scene looking back, sticking with the M9 did draw attention to him and led him to Trent, but also being with the M9 steeled him for the confrontation and helped him not lose his shit, something that, at this point, he thought was impossible.

[@jlokison]

The M9 also kept Caleb from going down a much darker path, which was a possibility even with them for awhile.

[@randomcourier]

@@jlokison Liam states in the post campaign episode that yes he did have a much darker, more isolated path for Caleb but the M9, specifically jester kept pulling him towards the path he ended with.

It was cockney at the beginning.

[@volteer1332]

[@Deelusi]

It's hard to do cheat on Molly's animation cause he doesn't have pupils. So his pose is more elaborate and I hate it TwT (But love you Molly nonetheless)

[@Bumble_bee.tl3]

honestly, I think that made the animation more 'real'. I feel like Molly would be a person that gesticulates much and has a more active body language bc of his circus background. But I can understand that that makes the animating more difficult 😅

[@JonihnHart]

You do an amazing job! I love seeing him in your animatics!

[@sihplak]

I forgot that Sam gave Nott a British accent in the early parts of the campaign lmfao. That didn't last.

[@endel12]

And Molly had and on-again-off-again Irish accent. Almost.

[@LinkCidolfas]

@@endel12 what accent?

[@ilsehattingh1976]

I'm watching Campaign 2 now and seeing this really highlights how Nott's accent changed from vaguely British to something completely American. I don't think I noticed when it happened. But I'm at Episode 85 now and she sounds nothing like this anymore.

God, early campaign 2 was so good. I mean, they threw together their campaign 1 characters in an afternoon thinking a one-shot was all they were going to use them for but they all really flexed their creative muscles for the Mighty Nein knowing they were going to be sitting in those characters for hundreds of hours. Watching them all clearly enjoying keeping secrets from eachother was great. The campaign 3 characters are all kinda open books in comparison.
