The way her eyes slowly glazed over and randomly settled into a crossed position must have taken decades of experience as a method actor. I can only imagine the days she spent AFK in real life just to accomplish this role. It must have been a true test of sacrifice in the name of Art. It sucks that Greg brought down the scene so much with his performance. He just isn't a good fit for his character, you know? No amount of money, editing and CGI is going to fix THAT.

[@HariSeldon913]

There was a sketch with Britt and Ben where Britt was a grinder and Ben was really into the elaborate backstory for himself. I thought Britt should have said 'skip' to Ben during that one.

[@KumieZoomie]

I'd rather not roll the dice on that one. You don't want to be the one-too-many Skip!s that causes him to snap and do something... out of character.

[@MetalHev]

I paid 60$ for that dialogue and, by god, I'm gonna listen to every second of it

[@Brehvon]

I love how her eyes started crossing up near the "log out" lmao!

[@iSammax]

One of the best "skips" from Rowan ever. Amazing. Breathtaking. Un-believable.

[@sunnyosborn3550]

I hate y'all for doing this, he'd been so excited in the first episode and now he's beginning to channel his inner retail worker. Greg's happiness was warming my heart today, and then the punchline punched me in the heart even though I saw it coming. Do my boy justice guys, let his voice be heard 😭😭😭

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

"No, you will not skip me! I will not be skipped!"

[@1tiptip187]

They won't give him justice. Even the show montaged through most of his dialogue so WE couldn't hear it.

[@Protagoras_42]

[@NightLancerX]

@@eldorados_lost_searcher Thou shall not skip!!!

[@Kresanikelfe]

I kinda expected Britt to say skip when Greg started to thank her 😂

[@scottthewolfgamer]

Funny enough, I actually like cutscenes and NPC dialogue in story games. It helps with world building and it's always nice to get to know a world's story, even if it's side mission

[@meoff7602]

Most people watch or listen to them once. It's just nice to skip something you already know.

[@scottthewolfgamer]

@@meoff7602 Yeah, I agree you can skip after redoing it so many times

Me 2. I feel like I'm missing out otherwise. Combat's lovely, but it's still a form of art. good writing really makes a game, bad one - kills it

[@viva_la_nature]

I love how Greg is probably level 20 with Bodger and Baradun, still doing NPC things. After all their adventures

[@Ejpon]

That's how he became sentient in the first place

[@Pyrochemik007]

Just imagine taking the strongest garlic farmer as an NPC, to fight against vampires. He would tinker a death star from 2 sheeps and a bag of potatoes.

[@viva_la_nature]

Now remember how almost every NPC in Honeywood is insanely strong

[@Cross-Warrior]

As hilarious as all of this was, seeing Djeoph invade Epic NPC Man lore got the biggest laugh out of me 🤣🤣🤣

[@crazydillan8430]

"but they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made". Love the attention to detail and the references to LOTR.😂

[@memeq]

Rowan's skip at the end before saying anything is Gold!!

[@pIayingwithmahwii]

LOL somehow i knew rowan would do that at some point, definitely not adam. but i just didn't know WHEN

[@lambentlamprey]

It has to be a different player in that skin though. Rowan wouldn't be that stupid...

[@shadowspirit93]

Now that would be a nifty little achievement. Talk to every NPC in the game without skipping dialog

[@Miannon]

and you just know the devs would make you really earn it.

[@bradgaines5091]

Achievement name would be "Are you still there?"

[@zippacna]

Yeah, that wouldn't be too hard for me as I never skip the dialogue on my first run through games

[@Zelphyn]

I try to understand the story of games that I play no matter how lame and basic it is, just to give me at least a bit of motivation and something to look forward to. The story is a big factor for me to continue playing.

[@miriamkapeller6754]

The problem is that the story in most MMORPGs is so bad that you wish you could forget about it right away to save your sanity. They usually don't even try to come up with a story that makes any sense. Singleplayer games are a little better on average, though.

[@smippycis6285]

Main story? Yessir. Side stories? Maybe. Sub Stories? SKIPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[@EmilWall]

@@miriamkapeller6754 If you're always skipping, how do you know? Maybe that one you didn't skip was an exception? ;) Also, be nice to the NPCs.

[@TheUberjammer]

@@EmilWall Ah, but they didn't say they skipped anything. Perhaps you skipped reading their comment... or perhaps you were only waxing philosophical, who knows.

[@Pyrochemik007]

Have you tried Kingdom Come Deliverance? Heavily story driven, and quests have multiple solutions.

[@kameenavery9616]

This is my FAVE episode of the series!!!!! Having Britt there the whole time made it all the more enjoyable.

[@anniesoernym]

Oh and I love Britt's gentle swaying motion 😆 That attention to detail is what makes your videos so much fun, vldl!

[@jadedflames]

That actually sounds like amazing dialogue! I want to hear more about the Spellowship!

[@symphonixblades]

Most of it was from NPC D&D from their other channel.

[@petrowegynyolc7108]

Can't escape the feeling that Britt supposed to have a bunch of dialoge but got a sore throat and the team had to improvise, so they came up with this scene in a clutch.

[@caesarmedina8489]

I love how they slid Djeoph, the greatest archer in the lands, into the story!!

Not yet, But you should feel really inspired !

@CactusJohn5 3 is Still better than nothing 😂

[@theoriginalkeysto]

You only get negative inspiration if its bodger telling the story, Greg hasn't had the chance to tell the same story 1743956 times. Yet. Because everyone skips Greg's stories...

My friends hate me because I'd never skip a single cutscene or dialogue line, particularly if it was my first time seeing it Playtime multiplies by 3 HAHAH

[@antenant9294]

I used to enjoy watching the cutscenes, or sometimes the dialogue... and hated it when I was in a random group that was just rushing on- particularly when I didn't know the dungeon!

[@justinfarmer7460]

My friend would skip it all right in front of me when neither of us have played it, then proceed to ask me about everything and not know what was going on or what to do.

[@Tallone55]

I was playing through ME3 and had to load an earlier save because I made a story error, and I groaned, thinking it would be 3 hours to get back to where I'd been. Not if you skip all the dialogue and upgrade hunting it isn't! I probably saved two and a half hours.
