Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire -- You Control Critical Role!

[@Kumimono]

"Taliesin! You dressed up for the commercial? Cool!" "...What commercial?"

[@anthonycontreras5003]

Jari Heiska haha good one! 👍

[@Gaudaloth]

Yep thats just ol' good taliesin

[@TheRealDerohneNick]

"Thank you." -Taliesin Jaffe

[@joncyanide4357]

Pretty sure he was the one controlling everyone.

[@crimsondragon2067]

This was quite possibly the best "we're in a game" ad I've ever seen.

[@robertknight3776]

xXCrimsonFlameXx it really doesn't hurt that the game is looking like it could be amazing...

[@yuugur666]

Robert Knight from what basically everybody says the first one was amazing (of which at least three of CR were in to some extent)

[@robertknight3776]

Joe Mamone it's one of my favorite games for the PC ever. I've been looking forward to the sequel since it was announced.

[@shinankoku2]

This!

[@goldcoinwizard4673]

I love PoE2 but ads like this hurt the serious atmosphere I"m used to... I love classic RPGs and happy they're coming in a row (Divinity, PoE2, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness, ... ) but they require a serious tone for me... maybe because I'm Eastern European I'm not fond of these ads

[@RoinDanton]

Some would say, "oh, Talesin just appeared in a cloud pf smoke. What a neat visual effect." That's not a visual effect, it's just his preferred form of transportation.

[@lunavixrn5651]

I would like to point out that Taliesin was the only one to appear that way, and Travis was not surprised to see him appear in a puff of smoke, just to see him dressed like that. Which does lend credibility to your theory lol

[@SarcasticState]

I wish the Emmy Award Winning Sam Riegel™ was in this commercial! So much star value!

[@olbilldoor]

Probably couldn't afford the Emmy Award Winning Sam Reigel™

[@anthonyewolf]

>>Emmy Award Winning Sam Reigel™

[@yuugur666]

Emmy Award Winning Sam Reigel™ probably had a hand in writing it I bet

[@stella1996able]

Sorry, but *Riegel

[@FallenTrinty]

We forced him to create the commercial through the critical role multiplayer system and chat. A few of us just RPed it out and there you have it

[@xNPCx]

Is anyone else interested in seeing the outtakes of this commercial or is it just me?

[@cjdziesiuta1995]

Also yes

[@iododendron3416]

Those were the outtakes.

[@Gray963]

That "How do _YOU_ want to do this?" is the best Critical Roll fan service *EVER*

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

I wonder how many times he said that in the bedroom before the joke got old...

[@kkTeaz]

@@ryadinstormblessed8308 LMAO

[@majinism5582]

Fun Fact: they didn't even dress Taliesin up for this, he showed up like that

[@soulhunter91]

*usage of Pike is subject to Ashely's schedule

[@nogitsune4452]

Is it weird I watched this a 2nd time just to see Liam punch random people in the face?

[@theshadowcult]

No, no it is not.

[@sRtAoIrNm]

LMAO, SAME.

[@joshyboy1983]

Search I JUST KICKED STAN & thank me later.

[@andygoestohell]

I knew I'm not the only one who did

[@fireteaJK]

It's definitely fine, man

[@MassiveFoot29]

CLEARLY, Sam had a hand in making this ad because only his mind could work this weirdly and wonderfully

[@MrBochunks]

*Emmy Award Winning Sam

[@meganverne]

Liam always beating people up for no reason.. and Travis, always beating himself up for no reason *shakes head* you guys are so violent, we can all be friends.

[@OneEyedRyuujin]

friends who beat each other up sounds great!

[@soresire]

"Why tho?!??" - Me, everyday

[@trinalashawn2142]

It's silly, but I didn't realize how much I'd missed those voices. I enjoy the new campaign, but man.... Right in the nostalgia.

[@dylanhawkins385]

I just love Liam's absolute Fear on his face as he starts running uncontrollably!!!!

[@Dokutonninja]

Matt was controlling them lol I love it

[@thickmclargehuge4448]

the secret code appearing behind them unlock the 'Trinket's Honey Heist' playable bears (and honey badger)

[@richardadams429]

that first punch is THE best on-screen fake punch ive ever seen!!..looks like he proper wrecked that dude!

[@micheljavert5923]

Employee: “Liam’s attacking the staff in the building’s entryway!” Manager: “I knew it would happen eventually.” Employee: “Marisha’s running into the walls!” Manager: “...Again?”

[@grilledleeks6514]

nice colons bro. super scripty! very fun! well doneing!

[@dominickomaromi9060]

Liam doing his own sound effects was perfect

[@VampireTheory]

“So how do _you_ wanna do this?” I JUST MADE THE MOST INHUMAN GAY SOUND EVER

[@EckonicMaster]

You're not alone....

[@runemaster4511]

Yes! I had the biggest nerd gasm at that

[@Recardoguy007]

Liam delivering those elbows from the top. He’s the cream of the crop.

[@ExhaustedElox]

Sadly, no one was controlling Liam. He just gets like that some times...

[@studentmoviesandvibes1671]

Jesus Matt those bedroom eyes, you made my entire body stop for a second

[@nogitsune4452]

He even asked how you want to do it.

[@studentmoviesandvibes1671]

EXACTLY

[@ATK1734]

This was absolutely amazing!! I lost it when Marisha kept getting run into the wall!

[@isaacb4229]

Would it be making it weird if I admit I got a little shiver, a little thrill when Matt Mercer smoldered at the camera and said, "How do YOU want to do this?"

[@NorthTexasEagle1989]

Scanlon's part was NFSW because you know, the internet

[@1Bloka]

Liam beating up people was a great intro

[@erezamir7218]

When matt said how do YOU wanna do this I visibly smiled

[@CaptainShack]

I'm so pumped for this! Come on STEAM unlock it already!!!!

[@hannahdoesvo7182]

Ngl this is raw fanfiction prompt material. Every once in a while a player has a trait of one of their D&D characters but it goes away a little while later. Maybe like a series of one-shots

[@Randomness823]

Do itttt

[@robw4789]

It seems Percy had an accident in the lab.

[@cjvs1604]

Robert Wilkins Percy not acknowledging the fact his hair ia blue is probably my favourite part

[@returnosf5043]

I've never played Pillars of Eternity and don't even know what sort of game it is, but I want it

[@unknownman2449]

I feel like that's just how Taliesin dresses on a normal day.

[@caketin6470]

taliesin running out of frame screaming is possibly the best thing i’ve ever seen

[@JnEricsonx]

"Im very flammable!"

[@imefix]

the worst thing is: Vox Machina is 7, party size in Poe2 is 5... DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS!

[@lordkalistos4124]

Make a ranger with a lion companion and name it minxie.

[@blakebrockhaus347]

Jacob Hoover don't betray trinket like that

[@nokturnallex2160]

I'm gonna pretend Keyleth died from the Goldfish incident and Pike is filming Blindspot. Though I have to have my main character in the party too... so uhh sorry Vax.

[@Veloziraptor111]

Alan Brockhaus Always leave Trinket behind.

[@MrBochunks]

Just cycle Pike in about every 10 hours or so. Makes it more accurate

[@EzraColdsGarage]

Best commercials Ever.

[@EthalaRide]

I thought this was going to be some kind of parody on Upgrade at first with Liam punching those guys, lol.

[@abydosianchulac2]

Don't care about the violence, I'm just here for that O'Brien swagger.

[@epicbananaman7776]

I don't know why, but that interaction between percy and Travis is like, the funniest thing to me

[@benpebbles4111]

I'f I controlled the crew i'd take off Travis' shirt immediately.

[@sebastianbell941]

Ben Stone anyone know where u could find a pic like that🍄😂

[@benpebbles4111]

sebastian bell Theres a full video my dude. It's called "The Gunslinger" you're welcome ;)

[@sebastianbell941]

Ben Stone what is that video😂 it looks like a porno

[@benpebbles4111]

sebastian bell Its a movie. To me its a porno since its literally the hottest shit ever. Just you wait untill a barrel gets mentions 😉😉😉😉

[@sebastianbell941]

Ben Stone lol ok yay a new game with our favorite cast of characters

[@keixsy]

The Dani narration was the cherry on top here

[@mutantmaster1]

The fact that Travis is confused about Taelisin's outfit and not appearing in a puff of smoke means that's something that he does all the time

[@jackwriter1908]

😂 Grog asking: „Why do I sound like this?!“

[@DaPsychocat]

What a bunch of dorks :')

[@imnotmussie]

fkn love it

[@OriginalCreatorSama]

yes but they're OUR dorks!

[@ghoulb0i]

We have been blessed by the gods of Critical Role!!! ❤️❤️

[@Purzius]

Liam's hit is on point! Such excellence

[@jammygitz]

This collaboration is a match made in heaven. Also quite surreal for me because I was dorky enough to spend time creating Vox Machina based companions in POE 1 to hire at the inn. But now there is free Critical Role DLC with proper VM portraits and voices!

[@TaiChiKnees]

Oh hey, it's Eric Campbell! LIAM SMASH!

[@torn180]

Honestly the most amazing thing about this commercial is seeing a VCR

[@Darktodesengel]

how do you want to do this???? SIMPLE, PLAY THE GAME ^^ ... A big HUG from Brazil.

[@Quadraxis]

"How do YOU wanna do this?" has got to be the best hype for the game yet.

[@AbramsEX]

Amazing. More ads like this, please lol. JUST TAKE MY MONEY!

[@aritus33]

I mean to be fair there are a lot of games that have the cast of critical role in them.

[@davidwilliss5555]

Handy security tip: When filming a video, make sure your password isn't on the whiteboard behind you.

[@doxull]

I NEED THAT SATCHEL BAG LIAM O BRIEN AHHHH isnskz

[@aaliadroid]

Oh my gosh! I love it! This is sheer genius, lol! Bravo to the writer, the director, and the actors who portrayed it so well! 😂

[@fenixmeaney6170]

Does that mean Matt was the one controlling them? How the turntables

[@Graywolf335]

Beardlesa Matt is something I haven't seen in a while

[@yngvildrthevoracious]

0:27 I guess we can all connect to G&S' WiFi

[@krimeincorporatedod4895]

I’m playing this game in 2023, it’s AWESOME, especially hearing all the Critical Role cast members voices in it.

[@gokaiju6697]

Getting this game just because of this.

[@GodOfWAAAGH]

In the words of the Great Jonathan of the Tron 'I have SEVERAL questions....'

[@trinityzaku]

"Oh Grog!" Grog's int is probably low enough that if he did have a different voice and had the "Grog" voice just whenever he was basically being in that persona and then was forced into that voice that probably would actually have been his reaction.

[@ryconroleplays]

This was amazing!

[@Akrafes]

"WHY THOUGH?!!?!" LOL

[@bezerkoid]

I applaud Marisha for having the commitment to the trailer to run into a wall repeatedly, chest first. That's gotta hurt.

[@addgame7961]

You know, it’s rare to hear mat flirting with himself. He did exactly that in game

[@gemmaohlemacher]

A+ Sillyness guys. Excited to play.

[@vaticancameos2047]

😂 That first dude Liam hit dabbed on the way down

[@FarhadHakimov]

Come on, I've bought that shit at launch the moment I saw your name on one of its DLCs. Shit. I regret nothing.

[@SupLuiKir]

XQrdGv - On the back of the mail in the first scene. You get 1 frame to see it clearly. (Also appears in the fourth scene behind Matthew Mercer (lame!)) DeYvu8 - On the wall in plain sight in the third scene

[@DeaconTaylor]

but what do they mean though?

[@Orktosqt]

@deaconTaylor it's Scavenger's codes. you can google it for more information. But this codes are very old.

[@bigdonutstudio]

These people are a gift.

I don't know why but something about Taliesin's/Percy's movement in this trailer dearly reminds me of a muppet and I adore the visual.

This is how all things should be advertised, in this way

You guys are awesome, I bought pillars 1 and have pillars 2 on pre order because of you matt. And it might be one of my favorite games yet.

I'm crying with laughter. This is amazing.

This feels like a Game Grumps commercial, and that ain’t a bad thing.
