The Story of Drakan and the Vampyres

[@AberrantSpectre]

This is excellent content. Players including myself get so immersed in mix/maxing and trying to rush through quests for the rewards we don't always take the time to appreciate the intricate and creative story-telling within RS. One of my favorite parts of any quest was at the end of Taste of Hope when the Vampire is on a big psycho monologue and says he can taste his victim's emotions and his favorite flavor is "A taste of hope" and then you fight. Incredible!

[@Gravitybind]

Absolutely agree!! The dialogue in RS quests is amazing, especially with how self-aware it is at times. I'm sure they're cooking up some fantastic quests for us!

[@gregpayne3770]

I love some of the player's comments throughout some of the quests. They're usually good for a laugh.

[@conradical5941]

Dude the fremennik exiles. One part you have to put a pet rock in a geyser and your character gets sad and has to talk to peer the seer to erase your memories with the rock, it's hilari

[@kyaryi1]

Imo, the vampyre storyline is the second best in the entire game. Hallowvale, the sister sanctuary and all the history behind it. Only really behind the Mahjarrats and Luciens greed for power.

[@Gravitybind]

Completely agree. I really hope they expand more on the questline, as it'd be interesting to see how different it'd be compared to RS3 - though that might be something they look at once the Mahjarrat quest series is concluded

[@gregpayne3770]

i was trying to look for some of the lore regarding the ancient warriors. vesta, statius, zuriel and morrigan but i couldnt find much other than that they wera aligned with zaros. love your videos, they've got me thinking differently about things in this game!

[@Stuffystufferfield]

great video. i never played runsecape, had no idea it had so much was going on

[@yoru1951]

Keep it up, this is the content I've been longing for for years, especially since all the other MMOs have such a big dedicated Lore Community. Glad to see you succeed with this content, much love

[@Gravitybind]

Thank you! It's nice to see people engaging with the lore more :)

[@LeonHagans]

Amazing work as usual. Truly a blessing to the osrs community!❤

[@Gravitybind]

Thank you! Very kind of you to say :)

[@henriliimatainen7727]

These lore-videos are great. I was just thinking about Drakan and what has happened to him

[@pennykie4796]

One day this man is going to pop off as hard as he deserves to, and we'll all be able to say we were there from the start. Great work as always mate!

[@Gravitybind]

Thank you! Really appreciate it man, and I hope so! Very glad to have you all with me for the journey

[@auriaska99]

Thanks for the video, i havent played in years and most of questlines i either completely forgot or vaguely remember, so reminders of what happened prior the "X" quest (in this case to me it was prior to the "Sins of the father" ) It was nice to remember characters and to know what they were talking about lmao

[@deathtouchltd]

Another great video man! Good job. I just finished this quest line and I hated the quest itself but loved the lore.

[@Retanaru]

Some help for your audio problems (lack of consistent volume between uploads). Right click your video and turn on stats for nerds. You'll see in the Volume/Normalized line that your videos volume has been reduced by -6.6dB. This means KZbin caught a peak in your audio that made it reduce the volume for the entire video by that amount. Look up a guide for your specific editing program on how to use KZbin's loudness standard. Before I did this I could upload the same video twice and end up with two different volumes. I targeted -1.0dB or less when tweaking my settings. This is just the first step to getting more consistent audio. There's a whole rabbit hole to go down with audio mastering, but the first steps are the easiest and they make the largest differences. I still struggle with music volume to this day. Obviously its my own subjective opinion on it, but your mic quality in recent uploads, for example The Story of Varlamore, sounds significantly worse compared to an older video like "Two weeks into Dragonflight".

[@Gravitybind]

Thank you - I appreciate the advice. I am using a slightly worse mic at the moment compared to my older videos due to various reasons, and still getting to grips with music (this was mainly with previous OSRS uploads) and overlaying my audio over it. I'll look into the settings and try to adjust things for my next video, and aim for a similar -1.0dB as you suggested. I didn't know the 'stats for nerds' was something honestly, so it'll definitely help in adjusting my audio. I do think this video in particular sounds better than the previous few, but I really appreciate your advice as it will help me refine the editing process and ensure the audio is better quality, so once again, I really do thank you for the time you took to comment.

[@Retanaru]

@@Gravitybind This video is definitely on the right path compared to the previous one. You can't fix something if you don't know about it so I knew I had tell you. I also use OSRS music and its honestly hard to work with. I feel bad slapping normalization on all of it, but it is what it takes to make it work as background music in a video.

[@Lucifersam]

Comment for algorithm. Hope this channel blows up

[@tehskyhawk]

When I finished the quest I thought Veliaf left the hideout and hung himself. Dude had nothing left and it showed.

[@Suprem3x]

One of my favourite videos! I love the lore surrounding Vampyres. Would you ever think of doing a video showing key differences in lore and events between OSRS and RS3?

[@Gravitybind]

It is really interesting! That's a really good idea honestly, I'll need to look into the questlines that differ from eachother! Appreciate you!

[@zealdrive]

Yesss! Amazing work.

[@Gravitybind]

Thank you! Really appreciate it dude

[@willygc9143]

Awesome video! :D

[@niceguy6969]

New sub here. I think your channel going to to blow up. Great content

[@WarShroud]

What accent is your voice? It makes listening to these videos soothing.

[@Gravitybind]

Thank you! That means a lot - it's a toned down liverpool accent, I'm originally from Lithuania so it may be a little mixed.

[@0wnz620]

xeric lore when? ❤

[@Gravitybind]

Before the end of the year, for sure 💪

[@mynameisbaxter5565]

I read about the story of Serafina and how depression it was it was actually very sad but I wanna know what the meaning behind of the maddin of sugadinti and why did the butcher write “I hate apple pie” in the book

[@johnappleseed9290]

Would you say Lowerniel drakan can defeat lady Verzik?

[@Gravitybind]

Honestly, it's hard to answer as we've never really seen Lowerniel Drakan in combat, aside from his first appearance and him decimating both vyres and the Myreque with a flick of his wrist. He did overpower the Vampyre houses, and virtually wiped out two of the houses back on Vampyrium so it's clear he has a lot of power - so I'd say probably? But even then, as Lady Verzik has had the theatre built and she's been experimenting with Nyalocas, her power is just growing and isn't really checked. (Plus she's OSRS' strongest monster at the moment) but I'd still put my money on Drakan.

[@Tayllork]

your videos are fucking amazing

[@logancahall2123]

Been needing this in my life. Maybe Bob the cat next?😅

[@Gravitybind]

Potentially! He is an interesting character afterall

[@metallic776]

I absolutely need them to bring the rest of the vampire story from rs3 to osrs

[@DaddyHipo]

This video has earned my like and my subscribe. I love these lore videos
