What we didn't realize was that the adoring fan was actually Cicero and kills the player character after the event of the game.

[@ivanwm2513]

Vlad: "The Eye has been attacked and there is so much blood... The Starborn is on his way to the Lodge!" Adoring Fan: "Go save them, Boss! I will stop the Starborn and defend the Lodge." When Returning to the Lodge after the attack: "He gave his life to save us..."

Dont worry. Bethesda expects...I mean...WANTS you to play for another 982 hours and rebuy the later rereleased editions while they start making Elder scrolls: 6.

I have 30 hours lol, but I seem to be playing it wrong😅. I just gun down everyone I can legally lol. Sneak past these guards to get to a computer...pfft nah, nuke the bastards.

No, that is the correct way. One could even say, "This is the way." Were one so inclined.

[@travisreid9530]

Trent’s character’s slightly distant scream was so funny. Also the alliteration in the dialog about the Succulent Scoundrel was silly and a nice little touch.

I know next to nothing about Starfield but after watching this I'm pretty sure it's just a succulent collecting sim, and that actually makes me want to play it more.

Joel makes these in a way where gamers and non gamers get something out of their time spent. You don't have to be a big Starfield gamer to enjoy every minute of this labor of love. Puts other sponsorships to shame.

[@FutaCatto2]

This animation makes no sense though. It definitely caters towards normies more than gamers who actually play the game. I recommend this KZbinr to make animations on Raid Shadow Legends because that game usually pays normies to make false advertising.

The "Why" and the explanation. They know gamers who play Bethesda games.

[@flamerollerx01]

They probably ARE gamers who at one time played a Bethesda game. We've all collected random crap in a Bethesda game, just admit it. I had myself a lovely collection of knives and forks that were considered daggers in Skyrim. I made sure to collect every single one, because there were many forks and knives, but only a set number of forks and knives that were classified as daggers.

[@Vigilantius]

You definitely got the design of the guns right. Drill. Square with hole. Gun, but weird angles.
