I must say, the voice actor for Rockwell is excellent. He is great at capturing the ego of his character along with sprinkling in the slight hits of obsession with element. Not to mention he does well in emulating the actual Rockwell VA

[@allarian8726]

He sounds like David Tennant. Almost made me think it was him.

[@hughjazz8655]

And the nerva voice actor too

[@BurritoBandito140]

All the voice actors are spot on but Rockwell sounds exactly like Tennant thr real voice actor for Rockwell

The voice acting is stunning. The hopelessness and betrayal in Raia's voice as Nostis got destroyed and when Dahekya got killed sent chills down my spine.

[@thelampgaming9717]

Scorched earth is my favorite map and in my opinion where the story really picked up. And I’m a sucker for westerns and history buff. I Really love how wildcard pulled off the two different ideas clashing and in my opinion that was a better love story than twilight.

[@mikoto7693]

That was a real dick move by it. I wish we could have human npcs and tribes to play with. I don’t fully understand the lore behind the Arks and why they can’t let humans live peacefully. I know it’s meant to test humans so they will ascend. But… humanity needs a stable civilisation too.

[@sledgedragon2677]

@@mikoto7693 The problem is that they don't want to ascend if life is good. The overseer understood that and took care of the problem.

[@razvanpopa7294]

As someone who's had some experience in sound editing, montages, voice acting and whatnot, I can tell you that there is a titanic amount of work and love put in this series of videos. I sincerely think that you're not getting the recognition you deserve and I'm sorry I can only click the Like button once per video. I hope you can somehow be properly rewarded for your work. Amazing job, folks!

[@milkteapuppy]

These voice actors are honestly incredible. The editing and music really makes it so powerful and emotional. Raia is destroying me, what a heartbreaking story.

One of the best parts about the lore is seeing how everyone deals with being on Ark and being influenced by when in time they lived

[@Derrdozer]

This and the Island one are some of the best Ark content I've ever seen on here. I've pieced together a bit of the storyline via notes but seeing it all laid out in order like this is fantastic. The notes and their individual stories flow together well and the acting and coordination with all the in game recordings is phenomenal. I finally decided to take the time to go back and play through Aberration recently so I'm hoping to see one for that next to follow along with. Keep up the great videos!

Has it really been more than 18 months now that you assembled the SE notes to this beautiful chronological video? I still come back and watch it again and again. This is such a beautiful work, for such a heart touching story. Thanks again, Neddy, and to all that made your work possible!

[@csds2240]

YESSS You did it! You put raia’s final note at the end, I really enjoyed it.

[@myeyesaredry749]

It is so genuinely upsetting to see the lack of recognition this is getting. The voice acting is lovely and the visuals were clearly something that took a long time and many takes to get right. I feel bad for the participants that put much effort into this for it to get such little in return. I'll be linking this video in my (discord) server and though its small I hope the few extra likes mean something to you all who have worked on this.

[@chrispy7009]

I wish there were more people who knew of this. If only youtube wasn’t so algorithm based but more quality of content

David Tennant saying "Prophet's Rest is in need of a Doctor" is just too good

[@nicholaseakin2900]

First off.. Amazing job everyone involved!! I’ve only just recently started with this game but have followed along with several KZbinrs who play, most notably the gang from Neebs Gaming. These videos dig deeply into the lore and present it beautifully! The voice acting is top notch and the presentation is wonderful, especially in using in-game sequences/setups. Keep at it, it’s outstanding!

Just as with the Island stories, this is awesome, congratulations on making such a great movie out of the ark's lore, I think you have made justice to the story and even added on the actual emotions involved! Excellent Job!

[@culpritneo]

This is such a great series to watch! I feel bad that Helena still sees Rockwell as a dear friend yet Rockwell thinks otherwise.

[@thebreezycorner53]

iv loved this game ever since i first found it on steam back in 2015 i fell in love with it and have followed its amazing story ever since they released Aberation, it is hard to try and read the story on your own through the notes scatered everywhere and where there are some posts and explinations for ark's story i have never found one as easy to watch and follow as this one, i have serveral friends that play ark and only 1 of them knows the story and even still not very well, so from all player new and old i thank you for giving us the chance to learn and expiriance this amazing story of ark suvival evolved. This is an absolute masterpiece

[@Chwarzerd]

Amazing content. Just started the Ark journey a couple months back and the massive lore dumps have been not only a geeky smorgasbord, but will be massively helpful in adding much needed direction! Thank you!

[@mikoto7693]

Same here. I’ve done the Island, Crystal Isles and came to Scorched Earth to continue the story. I want to understand the purpose of the Arks beyond testing the humans to ascend. The purpose of the Arks, what disaster befell the Earth to need Arks in orbit deliberately testing for the strongest possible humans. Perhaps it is to find individuals tough enough to save Earth?

Also AMAZING voice acting *round of applause* Sets use of music just fantastic cant wait for Aberration

[@NeddyTheNoodle]

thanks mate. Also, those climbing picks were allowed only because we allowed scorched earth items on the island -- the continuity of items doesn't have to necessarily be consistent if they're at least somewhat fitting. I didn't mind it personally

Rockwells descent into madness and paranoia from the proximity of the element was quick. He wasnt ever a decent fellow, but all remnants of civility gone in a day or two. I kinda wish there was an effect on the player character. A debuff or some sort of balance.

Now 3/4 of the way through my journey through Scorched Earth I think I’m ready to hear the story of those that came before so long ago. If I would have one sincere wish it would be to have human npcs to interact with. Tribes like this that we could interact with, especially since I usually play in solo mode. It can be lonely sometimes. Perhaps that’s why I enjoy finding the explorer notes and trying to piece together the story. I never get them all, so I’m here for all of it. I’m also interested in finding out the Ark story.
