Trailers for these characters in order should be like this: Senna: Dark Passage -> The Climb -> Senna: Shadow’s Embrace -> Ruination. This story line is a big deal this year too, they are expanding it with new trailers and a whole new game.

About the Ruination Cinematic: There was once a king of a big empire, his name was Viego he always acted like a kid, was selfish, always had what he wanted etc. until one day he fell in love with a woman named Isolde, who became his queen. Years go by and in an attempt to murder the king (using some kind of poison), someone accidentaly hit the queen Isolde, sending her to basically a come. Viego then send out every guard he had to find a cure for her love but with no result. Then one day he heard about a place called Blessed Isles, which have waters that can heal people, but at this point the Queen Isolde was already dead. He tried anyways, went to these Isles and finally put the corpse of her love in the waters ( even if the resident and guardians of these waters warned him you cannot bring back the dead) , for a moment her queen got back to life but immedietaly turned into a monster and after seeing what she became she took Viego's sword and stabbed him in the chest. This caused the even called The Ruination, in which everything near these isles died and got revived as monsters, ghosts etc. That's how the Blessed Isles became the Shadow Isles. Viego doesnt remember any of this, he think that his queen is still out there and is looking for her, helped by the Mist, which is, well basically a mist that follows him around, kills everyone etc. That's basically the story of Viego, the guy you saw with the sword, the other two characters with the guns were Lucian and Senna, and what Viego took from Senna ( that blue thing) was a fragment of the soul of Isolde, that's why later on Senna said "We need to get back to her" . There's another story about how a fragment of Isolde was inside of Senna but that's too much information at once! Anyways I love your reaction at the LoL cinematics and would love to see more!

The lore for the characters and setting for league of legends is very in depth and fleshed out, but you don’t generally experience the narrative bits in the main game

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

okay! Thanks!

[@bertverhoeff4096]

@@HannaHsOverInvested every character has a lore page, where they come from etc. sometimes we have storyline changing events in the game like one time: Gangplank (pirate) died, so they removed him from play for few weeks, and de player could choose a path in the storyline (to find more about his death, we had like 2 options to choose from and in the end it will tell the story, who killed who and why)

Yeah, but the stories of individual characters are really interwoven + you have them peppered throughout thousand year history of the world. There's a channel called Necrit who made several summaries about the world and its characters + timeline.

If you want to see more "shorts" arround League of Legends, there is something called Tales of Runeterras. there is for now 9 shorts, each one tale a different story.

[@vergil8833]

Dr Mundo is extremely old, one of the original characters. He is finally being reworked as we speak. The rework will be released in the coming days, what you saw is some ancient promotion for a skin he got long ago. He looks alot better now.

[@DrMustacho]

The game makes money by selling "skins" A hero has a vanilla look and then you can buy diferent collors or themes like the offixe one you watched Having no effect of gameplay keeping the game otherwise free and fair

[@PerSixPlus]

some skins actually change visual cues so on some skins its harder to see these cues whilst on others much easier, but its rare that it actually gives any benefit to either party, so either way the game is very fun with friends. it gets especially fun when you get to the point where you play with people that are as good/bad as you are, not in the place where a lot of people are playing for the competitive aspect and being toxic. its one of my favorite games and has been for a while now, so i suggest people to try it out.

[@cipherenigma]

I dont play Lol, but at the start of 2021 I fell into the rabbit hole of these cinematics. And I love them all. I recommend the Tales of Runeterra series to get a simple intro to the many regions and popular characters of Lol. And finally the music trailers for the songs Legends Never Die, Awaken, and Warriors. Love all your videos, cant wait to see whats next :)

[@xDracolich]

17:21 "I want more of that storyline" Ah, I miss being this innocent about what was to come later in 2021 We were all really looking forward to that too, too bad it flopped big time when it finally arrived.

[@shokugekikun4762]

OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! THANK YOUUUUU For explanation: That last cinematic is about the ruined king Viego(that creepy guy).This guy is in search of his queen Isolde.both died because of an assassination.And in this cinematic you can see how he is seaching for her soul fragments.And Senna(The woman with the cool Outfit) has one of the soul fragments.If you want to know more about them i highly recommend you look up Necrit on KZbin.He has almost every story of the Champions of League if Legends. And there're not bad at all. For example i highly recommend Camille's story. You can also look up the stories on the official League of Legends website I think if you take your time and read all those stories youre going to be obsessed with them.

[@Whysoshort]

You are correct. The is no storyline in the game itself. The story plays out some in the trailers, but mostly in shortstories, comics, and now even full books that are being written by the staff.

[@NotA10WordAnswer]

17:55 You're description of what the trailers are for moba pretty much nails it on the head. Well done!

[@joewaskiewicz892]

League of Legends has an extremely extensive lore, which can be discovered by reading the backgrounds of 150+ characters, but it means nothing in terms of playing the game. You enter a game, pick your character, and duke it out with other players (or AI bots if you're feeling it). The Ruination storyline is the most recent "main story" of LoL, with shirtless, pale boy Viego coming back to find his queen, Isolde, and in the process bring Ruination to the rest of Runeterra.

[@TA3DArtist]

“Go put a shirt on”, hilarious and a bit adorable. Lol 😂

[@kiryukaimemorial127]

I'm thankful you came back to LoL after being turned off from their early works. Remember you watched the videos from the first few years when they were still trying to get people to transition from another dominant game out there (DOTA/DOTA2) but now they are so huge they put a ton of effort into creating the world they have put these characters into. All of their videos are still focused on introducing new champions or selling their skins in the game, but they have learned over the years to create the story which gets people invested in the characters so they want to buy them on a free-to-play platform. If you start with the cinematic trailers from 2016 on, you will get the overarching story. However, the interactions between characters might be lost on you if you don't know the story behind each of them. There are comics, origin stories, and (soon) an animated TV series which will fill in blanks. Someone more invested in the lore will be able to give you links to storyline, but enjoy watching RIOT's evolution in quality and developing their world. They have expanded that world with spinoff games like Legends of Runeterra (card game) and Wild Rift (the mobile version of the game). You may have to be patient as there is a lot of content out there, but you will find a well-rounded background to the game.

[@marcossantana4499]

League of Legends' Histories are mostly told in the form of tales and digital books that you can find on the game site, there is a whole page dedicated for telling the game lore where they post comics, tales, histories and books that tells everything about the caracters, the regions of the game universe and their journeys . I recommend it even if you're not used to the game, because they are super cool, and inspired me to write a few tales to. Also, english is not my main language, so i'm sorry if i wrote something wrong :)

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Right!!!

[@Arteksoff]

So inside the game, where two champions related to each other meet or kill one another (for example senna and lucian from trailer) they can say different things. Those are called special interactions and there are plenty of them in the game. They allow you to get to know the character you like a little bot better. As for the lore: most of it exists outside of game. On the game's website or in the form of cinematic trailers.

[@velvet3496]

League of Legends has a lot of trailers as it is the biggest game worldwide. I think you would very much enjoy the "Legends of Runeterra" Trailers. There are several of them with each exploring one of the regions of this world. They are all about 3 minutes in length and tell a short story without you needing to understand the world in its entirety. I cant recall all of the names but there is: "The Vaulted Road" for Targon "None Escape" for the Shadow Isles Demacia Noxus Ionia "Call of the Mountain" Shurima Piltover "Dont mess with Yordles" and the newest one, you'll find it.

[@tghftghfth]

And also a lot of amazingly made trailers that show a piece of each character. Accompanied by high quality music that is not copyrighted. Hope for a reaction

[@CChissel]

I have never played this game and have no real desire to but, the trailers are very cool! Also, I just bought your book Magic Required, can’t wait to read it!

15:42 It was a soul fragment of the Blue-green guy's "Queen".

[@yanhunt]

This last year League of legends trailers have totally knocked it out of the park - from incredible story, animation and music. Can't recommend the Legends of runeterra series enough. The "really got me" wild rift trailer does a great job of explaining the game too. Over the years, league has also moved away from "boob-armour" and cheesecake that really plagued fantasy games, to really cool female characters too (sexy without being sexist if you know what I mean). Can't wait for their Arcane animated series to premier on netflicks

[@vergil8833]

Most of Leagues story is told through each characetrs written stories. As a fantasy author you might enjoy them. They vary in length but are generally good. They're also designed so that you don't need alot of knowledge beforehand to understand the stories since most people will just read the story of the champion they like the most. So if you want to check it out you can just scroll through the champions and see who catches your eye then read their story and bio on their official website. Theres even a big interactive map there where you can look at each region and kinda know where places are if the names get confusing.

[@MRFly-zt2gr]

About gaming on mac and PC: The first thing is all PC games are optimized(they are primarily focused on)for windows because windows are a LOT more common than MACs or LINUXes. And the second thing is that MACs use a different architecture than windows and therefore in order to make a game playable on MAC you would need a lot more resources. Not to mention it is borderline impossible to port demanding games because of hardware limitations

[@Magni87]

Love this video. I'm all for League of Legends reactions! While it would take a while, I would be interested in watching you discover the lore of the world and champions before you'd react to the music videos everybody is going to recommend. For example, learning about Demacia and the Lux/Garen/Sylas storyline before watching the Warriors music video cinematic. That is purely because that way you'd have context before seeing the video similarly to LoL players when the cinematic originally came out. Rather than the cinematic being the first contact to these characters in the same way most reactors and non-LoL players come into contact with the content. Ps. Just adding to the algorithm and voicing a thought I have while having no expectations for said thought or even the feasibility of it.

[@AtlasVlade]

You should also watch Warriors and Awaken from league of legends. Also try some of the other music videos they make.

[@iaphroditei7922]

Girllll!!! you need to watch all the cinematics!! i'd love to see your reactions

Unrelated to the videos but NY Times Best Selling Author, Graham McNeill is also on the narrative team. Monstrous and Dark Kin are two of his written pieces for League of Legends world-building and character development.

[@Amro__]

YES finally some league of legends , i recommend watching them in order to know more about the story , there is a story about every champion and it's so good i think you will enjoy it a lot

[@firestorm1088]

I think you'd really like the Kin of the Stained Blade cinematic, there's a lot more story in that one. The Mac thing just references the fact that most games either don't work on Macs or don't work very well. Corporate Mundo is just one of the skins for Mundo, all the characters in League have different outfits, called skins, that you can earn by playing the game or buying and change your character's appearance in the game. Some skins are serious and some are just for laughs.

[@patriciaespuheque1514]

In the old Lore, Dr. Mundo did pretty much experiments on his own body adn take a little bain damage... In the new Lore, Mundo was an experiment that but break out from the lab and now he thinks he's a doctor. And he "helps" ppl when he thinks they are ill... they are not :c

I really like League of Legends (Even if I'm bad at it) mostly because their female characters are badasses. That and the fact that they produce music better than mainstream music lol.

LOL is like Overwatch in that there is no story in game and stories a plenty in the trailers. Loved the reaction to the Ruination trailer (the third one).

[@Kristian818]

The trailer has some prior story videos (and will probably be continued this year) as others have told, however, I can also recommend watching the "Tales of Runeterra" cinematics. Technically, "Tales of Runeterra" was for another game by the developer but it's the same world and characters as League of Legends. Since "Tales of Runeterra" was for a new game then it does a better job of introducing the story than many newer league cinematics. There's a cinematic for most major regions in Runeterra (the world of League of Legends) - adding up to 9 videos around 3 minutes each. They highlight some characters and each region's vibe - it can very well be coupled with a quick glance at the map of Runeterra on the League of Legends Universe website (map.leagueoflegends.com/).

[@Visionate.]

They are FINALLY letting you experience the lore through a game that will follow the storyline,it will be an ARPG. They are also making a series on netflix following the stories of each champion,coming out this year called 'Arcane'.

[@slaanu]

So for a lot of games they have story being told in other mediums such as comics, events or trailers and they can also be used to bring hype and introduce new characters to the world, this is usually done for games that have a pvp (player vs player) focus

[@6nyxphobia66]

You should watch all LoL cinematics and music videos, this game has the most beloved cinematic and music productions out there. You can learn a lot from the comments people will post on your reactions to them, and you will probably get in love with the story

[@charisma2check584]

It's like Overwatch (more or less) you are correct. If you are wanting more story focused league vids there is a series called "Tales of Runeterra." I would recommend. That series is made to promote a League of Legend card game also made by Riot Games, the same company that makes League, and uses the same characters and world that League is set in.

[@blacktoothlongwalker1037]

"Mana" is the traditional energy source for magic in the vast majority of video games. It comes from a real life word and concept, the name of which changes with different people around the world, sometimes called prana, or chi, or ki, or mojo, but can best be described as "the force." In video games, you spend points of mana in order to cast spells. Mana is almost always blue. Because it's such a common trope it makes it so once you've played one game featuring mana, you can jump in easier to all the other games featuring mana.

[@ixarizskye5440]

WATCH THIS IN ORDER(all League of Legends): Senna: Dark Passage The Climb Senna: Shadow's Embrace Ruination 2021 [YOU'VE WATCHED THIS] Sentinels of Light: Before dawn Sentinels of Light: Absolution Yes, this is the more about that. It's like overwatch where trailers get you to pick a character but this is not linear. You see the story of League of Legends is Progressing outside of the game and into the lore, this is a lore video. There are a few types of videos they have; lore videos, skin trailer videos, Esports videos, music vidoes. So skin trailer vides are alternate realities within the universe of League of Legends and Esports trailers are to hype you for Esports and Music videos have our characters singing as virtual groups in the "real world", kind of also like alternate realities.

[@AndrewD8Red]

I've never played LoL, it's online and I don't play online games because I don't like other people. I'm antisocial you see. Also I tend to suck at games and I get tired of having my ass handed to me. You probably know more about this game than I do!

[@meadowsweet4212]

There is lore that is sometimes mentioned as voice line interactions with other champions and items. Necrit is an amazing youtuber who goes to in depth lore videos about the champions and covers the cinematics as well. Riot Games also produces comics that cover lore as well. A lot of the old lore of the game has changed over the years but you will still always be able to find a way to connect the characters somehow. As a story teller, im sure looking into those would let you go back and really appreciate the videos you have seen with a new light!

[@mikealgiers7852]

You probably won’t actually start playing League but a tip for *anyone* looking to get in: Every time you load into a new game, before you can buy any items, type “/muteall” It’ll save you from being potentially griefed by your teammates if they’re not people you know or the enemy. Even if you tell them you’re new, they won’t be understanding. I’ve played it on and off since ‘13.

[@wroan6080]

the ruination event stays for the whole year. It features new champs that tie in together with Viego (The guy inside the mist). The event happens all throughout runterra (the world of league) and champions are said to work together to fight the 'ruination' happening to their world

I love League of Legends lore and characters so much. The first 2 characters you saw are Lucian and Senna and they do have a series of trailers that tell their story. You just saw the latest one. Someone below did post the order of watching them. They roughly cover when Senna was trapped in a soul lantern by a character named Thresh and how Lucian fought to get her back. My favorite League of Legends trailers are still Awaken and Warriors though, because of the music, the characters in those trailers and the lore behind what was shown. I hope you watch more League of Legends!

[@Fez135]

What's funny is how positive it all makes the playing of League seem.

[@nathanocaso]

Viego and his failed ruination :D

[@hideme3712]

There's no story line in the game other than characters (champions) interact with each other through simple lines, taunts and jokes when they meet in game. The stories and cinematics are to shape a champion and give them more personality or highlight them so people play champions who are not so popular. Although there is no story in League of Legends, the company Riot Games is releasing another game called The Ruined King which is a story based game. I understand you're not a gamer but i recommend checking out some champion stories in League, they are really cool and they shape the world that the game is based on. If you ever decide to check them out, Necrit did a video "Ranking every champion based on lore" although the video is one year old, it should still explain a lot and would give you a good starting point. Enjoy your day!

[@lolitacalveras1815]

This was supposed to be, with many other trailers, to be a announcement for a event in the game called Sentinels of Light. It was supposed to be the first event in which everything that will happen, will be canon to the main story line of the world of League of Legends. Badfully, with Covid and bad decision from the leaders of Riot (the developpers of League of Legends) it wasn't that great at all. I recommand you the video of TB Skyen on the subject, he discuss about it, and If I remember well, he also gives a little background for the story

[@alanblewett5454]

Yeah the trailers and the universe website tell the lore, also you should totally check out the league universe website there a ton of short stories on there that are incredible

[@rishowiz1935]

To answer your question about it being similar to overwatch, Yes it is exactly as you described where the actual game doesnt have a story within itself but takes characters from a universe based around its characters. i recommend going to universe.leagueoflegends.com as that is where you can find all the champion bios, the map of Runeterra, short stories, comics that expand the characters and the world around them.

Hi Hannah! It would be really cool to see you reacting to "Awaken" and "Warriors" cinematics from League of Legends. Riot always highlights the amazing female characters from League of Legends in these cinematics. The cinematics are not about Keanu Revees, but both are breathtaking🤣 Awaken (ft. Valerie Broussard) | Season 2019 Cinematic - League of Legends - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHeYdZelbq-Xprs Warriors (ft. 2WEI & Edda Hayes) | Season 2020 Cinematic - League of Legends - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4OQfHSimdibd6c

[@Epsi743]

Hello there! I am really enjoying seeing your reactions to these. If you want to continue this storyline there’s only a bit there. Firstly there’s a cinematic that came out before that is senna’s teaser trailer. And there are all the trailers for the game “the ruined king” which hasn’t come out but will be a brand new game exclusively about characters fighting against the main bad guy in this cinematic. Also yes in the game there is generally no story outside of “events” which may tell stories of things that happen in the universe. Otherwise it is rather similar to overwatch with the lore. If I may give a separate suggestion I would say that watching “Legends of Runtera” cinematic as could be nice. It’s basically a card game but it’s in the same universe as League of Legends. Their cinematic tend to tell a more of a story of what is actually happening in the world.

there is a lot of story in league of legends, but you dont learn it through the game. The are stories in the league of legends site that you can just pick up and read. Also the are some comics (with partnership wit marvel) and even a recent novel was added. Plus there is a book you can get that has a lot of information about the world of league (Runeterra).

Tons of good league stories but very difficult to connect them all. So yes the battle area connects the worlds and you just kind of enjoy the art lore and coolness of each unique champion and thier universe that they bring to the "Rift" aka Battle Arena.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

I do remember Annie with the bear, I was trying to figure out how she fit in.

[@clangauss4155]

It's exactly like Overwatch and TF2 in the sense that the game doesn't have much of a storyline and the trailers, comics, videos, etc all tell a story to get you emotionally invested in the characters and setting. Riot is releasing other games that seem like they will tell stories with the same characters. Time will tell. If you want the best video content for League of Legends, watch the Legends of Runeterra videos or the Kin of the Stained Blade. They're pretty much all hits.

[@adambalogh8728]

Well, LoL does not have a clear story line in game, it is like Overwatch, but Lol has a clear story universe. There is a book for it and they are most likely working on an RPG/MMORPG game. Rest is very long, full story basically. A tragic love story. The story line you liked just started. BUT we know a lot. Lucian's and Senna's story is very old. It was started a long time ago but it got it's continuation recently. In previous cinematics you saw that Lucian helped Senna escape Thresh's (green guy with chains and a lantern) lantern. In the lantern she met with Izolde, she was just a soul (most likely just a fragment) not like Senna who had a body. The blue light in her chest and that orb thing. Izolde, Thresh are very old. The villain here is called Viego. Viego was the first prince of a long forgotten kingdome. He was a very carefree person and not very fitting to be the next king as he did not really care about anything, he was a dreamer. But he inherited the throne. But when he met with his future wife, Izolde, he fell madly in love. That is what he said "She is my world" when Senna told him that he is destroying everything. She meant everything to him. She was the sole reason to live from that point. But the power hungry and unsatisfied nobles betrayed him. They wanted to poison him but in the end Izolde got poisoned and died. Viego broke. He sent out his ppl to find a way to save her or revive her. Kalista, (Now an other champion in the game, the Lady of Vengeance who claims justice for those fell and called her) was a soldier. She found a place. Called the Blessed Isles. An other ambitious and the true villain and cause of all this, Hecarim (and other playable chracter), he was a pretty high ranking and very young soldier, the captain of the Iron Order a chivalry unit, but he wanted more. He wanted to use Viego's grief to gain more power. He pushed Viego to go to the Blessed Isles while undermining Kalista. But the ppl of the blessed isles said that it was too late for everything. Hecarim pushed Viego even further and the Iron Order massacred everybody BUT Thresh, he was just an insignificant librarian who was not particularly liked by anybody. Thresh was the reason Hecarim killed everybody cause he knew about a well. Viego took Izolde's body to that well. And he attempted to resurrect her. But it was as the Blessed Isle people said, it was no use. So they went even more drastic. They broke the order of the nature. Death itself came to life. The Mist. Souls of the dead got swallowed. Viego successfully made Izolde come back as a Banshee but Izolde in her scared and crazed state stabbed Viego with his own sword (The triangle in his chest it the wound). Kalista, Thresh, Viego, and Hecarim all got consumed by the Mist. While Viego forgot many things he only knew one thing. He wanted to be with Izolde. Everyone changed and gone mad, but Thresh thrived. He was twisted even before all this so the Mist only gave him power. He is a sadistic maniac who enjoys torturing ppl. Now this part is a bit blurry for me but Izolde's souls must have scattered and as Thresh collects souls he might have took it or he did it intentionally. But the Mist did not stop there. The Blessed Isles became the Shadow Isles. The land of death. It kept expanding. As Izolde was in Thresh's lantern Viego was dormant. He was the source of this scourge but the only thing that motivated him was Izolde so as Thresh had her he must have been kind of asleep. But when Lucian got Senna out with Izolde's soul/soul fragment Viego awakened and with his awakening, the already expanding mist only accelerated and here we are. Viego ruining everything intentionally or not just for the sake of love.

Hearing you like LOTR makes me think you should check out some Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. Official middle earth games that are a bit fan fictiony with the plot but still cool

[@mollythorne5260]

There is a continuation of the storyline... sorta. Its the League of Legends cinematic titles "Absolution | Sentinels of Light". It would be awesome to see your reaction to it!

[@Kekkai_]

In league of legends, you do not play out any storylines in the game. If I remember correctly all champions have a storyline outside of the battle but they are summoned to the "battle arena" by summoners (players) to partake in a 5v5 battle and to win a team has to push and destroy several objective points until one team destroys the other's nexus (home base). There's a bunch (fuckton) of other stuff but that's the main thing.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

thanks!

[@penizhaktm6472]

They got it pretty close as how LoL actually is haha!

[@user-zd1re4ko9g]

I recommend if you want to learn or know more about the world and lore of League of Legends. I suggest on either watching Necrits videos or possibly exploring the universe website to learn more about the regions and world surrounding the champions/characters of League fo Legends.

[@AndrewD8Red]

The only one of these MOFO type games i know anything about is called Heroes Of The Storm and it pits characters from a bunch of games against each other. You've already reacted to two of them while you were going through your Overwatch phase. [Edit] My phone autocorrected MOBA to MOFO and I'm not going to change it.

[@justinh75]

I absolutely love your energy! You're amazing!

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Thank you!!

[@GoblinQueenChesh]

I love you sassin' Viego

[@simis5294]

It's the ruination event, there's a comic about it

[@Dealric17]

No ingame storyline is sort of correct. LoL pretty much has 3 type of movies. Character introductiions (pretty self explanatory), Storylines/clashes (Multiple characters involved in same story, or fighting against each other. Usually best quality ones), tournament ones (especially yearly world championship ones). Most of lore you will find in videos, some short texts and such, game works as moba (genre, where X players controlling X characters fights against group of X opponents).

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

interesting! Thanks!

[@kanonirluna8983]

Actually there is some books of mass effect LOR if you interested in it. They nice enough

[@Skammas91]

"delete the game!" yea... that sounds about right. That's League right there.

[@FightingDuskstalker]

*shudder* One For All mode brings back some of my worst League memories... 1. Laning with the person who mains our champion 2. I hit my skill shot! Engage! 3. Oh, you're not engaging? 4. Well now I'm dead. 5. Go to 2 6. Everyone's pissed off at me

[@cameronbittner3728]

May not see this, but a lot of the characters actuality started with no back story or like "She is a Sheriff" or "its a ice bird"

[@nachovennedictus6492]

Yes! You should react to more League of Legends content! Specially trailers and music videos like K/DA, True Damage or Pentakill. I loved your reaction here and i'm looking forward to see more!

[@Szunne]

All you are going to get from the trailers is the over view. The game is just a battle arena. But the is an extensive lore that you can read with in-depth back stories on all the Champions. To understand the game you need to watch someone play it. I recommend Zwag. He is a low key watch for someone new to the game and he explains what he is doing as he plays. If you just want the lore you need to read it yourself.

[@isur4k]

I noticed there was a video by Necrit on Mundos lore in your recommended, i think you would find the game lore really interesting (Well not necessarily for Mundo, but still)

[@BigmanDogs]

I feel like you might really enjoy video essays that discuss the story of X video game. There are some really popular ones.

[@kagayakushi123]

there is a video from before ruination and there is a story after which is the sentinels of light

[@worldofconspiracy3997]

Yea, its kinda like overwatch where during the game there isn't a story, but they did put a lot of effort into building the world, where u don't even have to play the game to enjoy the story and world. They have a bunch of short stories on the characters, comics and other stuff. They also created a world map that makes it really easy to find all this stuff I mentioned, and how the people live and stuff like that, you should check it out, it's pretty cool : map.leagueoflegends.com/en_US

[@patrickiam740]

Can you please watch the all the borderlands intros, it introduces all the main protagonists you can play as in the borderlands series? If you’re interested, the videos called “Borderlands - all intros( pre-sequel, 1,2, &3)”

[@carbonfibercarpet4655]

Love the videos as always :)!! Have you ever considered watching Dark Souls videos? Across the 3 games there’s only like 3 cutscenes (the intro cinematics), so it’s not a lot to go over.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

all things in time.

[@zavierfrost]

I spent most of the time watching that Fern Gully poster wibble wobble all over the place.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Sorry?

[@goncalopolicarpo7879]

Horizon Forbidden West - State of Play Gameplay Reveal would be an awesome video for you to react to. You always show interest in seeing what the gameplay is like while at the same time getting to see some story and characters, I think this video does it pretty well. Also you already reacted to Horizon videos and you seemed to have interest!

[@dradel2050]

''is there more of that amazing storyline'' Sadly, yes.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Sadly?!
