Greg losing his wife to a patch is probably Viva La Dirt League’s saddest video ever.
gets me every time
I really want to see him get his wife back
@@NightStormRider. "Hello adventurer. I need the aid of a strong soul like you for a quest more dangerous then any before it. We're going up against the developers to get my wife back. Do you accept this quest?"
They screwed up with that patch. Patch notes say his memory should be erazed, and others might know he had a wife. But it's exactly the opposite.
@@NammjahtanAccept
Love how most of these are Greg getting screwed. He needs to get a win and get his wife back
Naw
They should make one where Greg joins a party and get's to see the world.
Let him be the pack mule, at least he will have a change of cenery.
@@nicolaj9510 He has traveled though, on the quests.
I love that they just loot the skull again from his chest in a later episode 😂
What wife?
“We apologize for the last update by giving Greg happiness”
Proof that the developers are out to screw with Greg
At least they fixed child mode
Proof that the developer is Baradun
This is why giving NPCs AI is cruel like this 😅
He was so lucky.
The fact that even Perfect Cell can agree that these guys are out to make Greg miserable
Woodcutter is such an underrated character. He literally had an existential crisis and immediately went back to what he needed to do. Such a chad
I wish I saw him more, could use an update.
@@hundrick186 probably a wife and child update
@@dew-it8744he’s got Greg’s wife now.
He could be Baelin's twin Brother......"Heh huh!"
ha. have an existential crises and immediately go back to what we need to do, is what WE need to do. lmfao
Child Safe will probably be my favorite just because of how truly, utterly horrifying it has to be from poor Greg's perspective. The man has seen *things.*
At least it was patched so NPCs see the same as the player.
Consider every game you've played with NPCs. They've ALL seen things.
Balloon POP! 😇
The wife removed by the hotfix is just emotionally brutal. Standing ovation 👏 👏
he was made alone twice, by his wife, and by everyone never believing she existed. dark af 😂
The wood cutter is an allegory for modern life. "You've been chopping this tree for 20 years... you don't have a home"
4 - reel
That one reminded me of Westworld
You are all excellent character actors but Hamish takes it for me with the Poor Merchant skit, what a comedy genius.
Yep that skit is pure comedy gold lol
The wood cutting won my heart though
Hamish sells the existential suffering so well.
It's a long journey. He began by actually having the glittering skull of Rhaul that he left in a chest on an open path.
"Twine? I'd really like to string together some loose ends on my part and be able to afford some medicine for my dying - well I guess I don't need all of the children, so one can go..."
Great comedy, but oh so dark. 👍
1:35 Best line from Hamish ever:
"Twine? I'd really like to string together some loose ends on my part and be able to afford some medicine for my dying - well I guess I don't need all of the children, so one can go..."
The last one feels so much like loss and grief, made worse by nobody remembering his wife or child. Poor Greg
And I don't know if it is worse, how the messed up this fix or how they fixed it. "We have removed his wife and wiped his memory as best we can, but only his memory of his wife. Others in the game may know he once had a wife."
I do wonder if Baradun knows? Maybe....
@@neodigremo His response does sound like something he would say, just to mess with Greg
that was like some Black Mirror episode.
it was programmed that only he can remember his wife
so he can't console with anyone because they'll never believe him and just laugh at his delusions instead.
it's like he's alone twice
that was dark af 🤣
Petition to bring back Greta so that Greg isn’t alone anymore. Greg is the best character in Viva la Dirt League and he deserves happiness
absolutely love Hamish. He has the perfect amount of exaggeration every single time and its just GOLD.
KEEP MOVING UNLESS YOU'RE HUNGRY
Why don't you just get a big bucket of water and...
@@TheOrian34 hahaha/ I know now why he's so cherished. All his tilt are based AF.
First time I saw him was the "Taunt" skit, hasn't been a character he's played since that hasn't had me cracking up.
Ba-nay-nay
“I guess I don’t need all of these children” lol
Gets me every time
That's actually why poor societies have more kids. Many of the kids didn't reach the age of 5.
@@Miranox2 and also why most civilizations had many kids until more better ways of doing things were created such as washing your freaking hands when seeing a patients, and knowing that germs existed, and other things like that.
@@10tailedbijuu
Ignatz Semmelweiss - if you want a scary story, google him.
In some game like The Witcher 3 for example, the merchant don't have unlimited gold when you sell items.
It's like: "You can't sell more items to this NPC"
But you can buy anything you want X)
not gonna lie... Greg losing his wife and daughter still gets me right in the feels
I will never forget you.
So, let's sum up. So far Greg has been ignored, punched (repeatedly) , forced to watch a slaughter, despawned, ignored (again) by another NPC, forced to buy rubbish and then robbed, and lastly his wife dissappeared. I don't think being a Npc is good for him😂. At least the adventurers did't try to put him to sleep...
I'm just waiting for the episode where he's had enough and finally snaps, like he did when Ben (?) kept skipping his dialog, only on a larger scale. I hope Bodger isn't working that day!
_I'm gonna use my balloon pop_
that part is seriously well done though. The shock and the sudden switch of vibes, excellent.
Also add, seeing his world being turned inside out which has to lead to needing therapy, and that is as frequent as having weather.
The callbacks in those patch notes to earlier episodes are just priceless. "Mugger NPC loop in Honeywood fixed..." 😄
vampire class removed due to vampiric rage causing vampire plague 😂
or the puppies that ben mistook for spiders
@@Elm_TheTarnished
I prefer the comment at the top of the original patch notes - we pay good money for and should work in the first place. :)
"child safe mode now presents to npcs that same way as it does to players for their mental health" super nice detail
you need to bring greg and wife back he goes thru a lot he needs that
Or at least a damn balloon ride!
Greg is the most loved NPC at this point... his journey is our journey ❤😂
🤣❤
The woodcutter hits me right in the feels
Naked Rowan going "I'm fantastic!" Absolutely destroyed my sides
The woodcutter sketch... it's pretty cool that as tech advanced, games started adding those details in rather. NPC finishes task at end of day, heads back home, putters around that area, interacts with others, sleeps, & returns. And you can follow them throughout & interact, getting different dialogue depending on where & when you see them.
What games do that?
@@Shaicedelic The old Majora's Mask did it, but that was a major mechanic so is more akin to Life is Strange on that front. More recently, Red Dead 2, the Fable games, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley I think, Kingdom Come, definitely S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Gothic, Shenmue, Deadly Premonition, the later Hitman games to a limited degree. I think the newer Harry Potter game as well but maybe I'm thinking of mod that does it. Skyrim didn't have the unique dialogue but did have everything else. But Oblivion did it pretty well for its time.
@@HostileTakeover2 hell, city skylines did it too.
rewatching the Woodchopper bit made me realize, Baradune was probably behind that one Ben NPC that became self-aware and was trying to escape the game.
that's not an npc, it's a crafting focused player that got trapped in the game. that's why the patch notes keep saying they think they've finally deleted him. he's not theirs to delete
@@MrOsmodeus oh no that is talking about another npc, at least i think it is another one as he has a tin foil hat. And the one you mentioned just started doing some crafting and become an npc.
@@10tailedbijuu I'm pretty sure the tinfoil guy is the crafter guy. Tinfoil guy claims to be a player from memory. It seems like a whole arc
edit: after looking the videos up they aren't the same guy. tinfoil npc claims to have gained self awareness. and tinfoil guy is one episode before crafting guy. one commenter made the link jokingly and i probably remembered that
@@10tailedbijuu tinfoil guy is crafting guy…. He was treated as an npc by the player base for so long that he devolved into madness and the lines between his autonomy and npc programming was blurred.
The funny thing is, the fruit merchant from the second script would be fine if he resold all that gear to greg the garlic farmer.
Man, I hope they go back to the quest line of Baradun trying to liberate the NPCs.
Baradun is so under utilised.
baradun meets tinfoil hat. thats what i want to see
I think Baradun was just enjoying giving NPCs existential crisis's
Greg on a quest to restore his wife still sounds awesome
"Greg´s Quest" movie should be a thing :)
i would fuckinng love that
The "Child safe" had me rolling. Greg loses his wife and the second Greg disappearing after the quest is completed hurt.
We need another full length movie like Baelin's Route but this one should be "Greg's quest- a tale of garlic and love" and it should be about Greg's journey to find Gretta
I cried a little
Woodcutter's episode is brilliant!
And I'm looking forward to Eugene compilation 😌
I came here to say this
The woodcutter skit always gives me goosebumps. Genuinely the most sad and tragic thing you guys have ever made.
Yes, and that change of music…
6:50 the sudden switch back to jolly oblivion was the final break in the woodcutters' psyche. The pain was so strong the snap. Now the mask is stuck forever.
The “child safe” mode one could be used in a standalone horror film with a person who has a mental break, thinks they’re helping people when in fact they’re actually killing them brutally. They can’t see it but everyone else can. I’m guessing there’s already a film like that out there
I remember seeing a horror short film similar to that but I can't remember the name of it. Dude was terrified because he was surrounded by faceless mannequins that were moving around creepily on their own so he hit them with a baseball bat when they came close to him. At the end he's arrested by human cops, and only then do we see the bat is bloody and their are real bodies laying on the ground.
Sounds like the premise of the character video for the flame thrower guy from Team Fortress 2.
Goddamn, watching Greg's wife get patched out, and quest Greg despawning again was brutal. We need a patch that enpowers Greg the garlic farmer. Viva la Greg!
Goddammit the Woodcutter skit still gets to me more than I'd like to admit 😢 between the sudden sharp intake of breath the Woodcutter takes as he almost realises before being reset and the music (Uninvited by Alfie-Jay Winters) it's phenomenal acting by Rowan.
Thank you, I was looking for the name of the song!
Gretta, Gone But Never Forgotten, RIP to the best wife a Garlic Farmer could ever ask for!
who?
@@thomassynths did you watch this video at all?
@@damiien2684I did, but I never played the game before the latest patch.
@@thomassynths what game??
@@damiien2684Skycraft
“Are you ok?”
“I’m Fantastic!”
I love that line!🤣😂😂
2:59 In most games I've played, when you sell to an NPC, you get significantly less money for it then what it would cost to buy that same item from them.
So by that logic, the NPC should be very happy you are selling him all those expensive items, because he could sell them for much more ( so instead of it killing his children they would get to live in a mansion)
Granted, in reality it wouldn't work that way because of supply and demand ( but then the shopkeeper also wouldn't be forced to buy from you )
and quite a few games make the npcs have limited money to buy from you, so you basically have to buy from them in order to be able to sell to them
I saw a theory I really liked that the gold used to buy and sell expensive items to adventures is actually the King's money for players to save the Kingdom, so poor merchants can't use that gold without getting into major trouble. The NPC'S are only allowed to keep gold if they earn it by growing or making items themselves to sell.
What PC game are these videos inspired by?
That assumes they can find another buyer. Maybe there's such a difference because they might not be able to sell it again
You knew when he promised to never punch him again, there was a 100% chance he was getting punched in the face again.
That bit with the woodcutter is dark. How many NPCs in this world have gained sentience
2:45 this is the RICHEST NPCC ive EVER seen LoL
Its fun if you read in the patch notes that they made some links to other wideos like:
"The spiders are more visible so the puppies don't get killed"
imagine accidently punching somenone irl and just saying "i'm sorry the controls are new to me"
🤣🤣
If you fall down in public, get up and say something like, "Wow, it's been a while since I've occupied a human form...."
I really want a supercut of all the arguments over game mechanics, like eating the bottles and horse pockets.
You can tell Adam is about to do something horrible anytime he gives someone a look of understanding and empathy.
I'm ashamed to admit that if I now skip cutscenes, I've developed the habit of saying "SKIP" as passively aggressive as I can.
That "Huah huah!' from Rowan never fails to make me laugh!😂
The amount of work y'all do is tremendous. Thank you for your dedication. I appreciate you
I actually felt bad for Greg when his wife was gone
At 3:12 where he says "You B*tch!" will always make me laugh
I gotta be honest with you, I want to start a GoFundMe just to get The Garlic Farmer's wife and kid back to him.
How much of a bribe you think it would take to get them to write that in a future episode?
This story actually gets to me (as a husband and dad) on a personal level.
It was horribly and beautifully written and the actor hit it out of the park in his portrayal.
These guys do comedy well, but when they tip their hand at drama, they can rip your damn heart out. I'm starting a movement, "Give The Garlic Farmer his family back." LOL.
We still are waiting on the movie in which Greg tried to get his wife back
I’ll be honest you guys need to make this an actual game, I would play it every day lol. Don’t change anything just make the NPCs exactly like they are in the videos lol 😂
The "I don't feel so good" immediately revived my memories of spiderman disappearing after thanos's snap and Iron man's death
I hope that Rob brings Gretta into the DnD game.....
The what?
@@nickbailey9784VLDL has a DnD channel.
It still amazes me that you guys are such awesome writers, and actors! You guys do phenomenal work, and deserve a lot more credit for it!
Anyone else hit in the feels by that piano in the woodcutter episode?
The ones like "kid mode" or when Greg consoled his duplicate as he died after a quest are my favorite. Or Greg wanting to take a balloon ride. Or having a wife removed from a patch, but the devs left a painting behind. So damned meta.
I love this channel 😂😂😂😂 The acting is truly chef's kiss, really sells the comedy. I'm definitely binging all these vids !
Poor Greg can never catch a break especially with adventurers skipping his dialogue.
I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I’d love to watch a “nothing but Hamish” compilation, from across all your videos, nothing has quite the ‘manic joy’ that Hamish brings to things! ❤ also; we need ‘Demi-meta-Greg’ in Npc D&d.
I think they need an episode where the devs used Gretas character model for some other NPC in game and makes Greg have flashbacks and try to convince her of who she was
15:53 Urgh, that sketch still gets me every time. :(
poor merchant has to be my all time fave LOL
This series has truly made me reconsider how I treat NPC’s when I play video games.
6:36 - I don't often feel sorry for Rowan, but when I do... 😢
I really love how half of y'all's videos are for shits and giggles and they're really funny and the other half of them taking emotional baseball bat to you. I'm not going to lie a couple of these genuinely made me cry
The woodcutter part is so heart wrenching
the kids traumatizing gregg the garlic farmer is still the most magnificent skit you've done!
Everything in this is painfully aqurate and relatable! 😂😂😂
"Child Safe Mode now presents to NPC's the same way as it does to players for their mental health"
I’ve seen all these in their natural form, yet I watch these comps anyway.
Greg needs to become the final boss after all he's been through
“Complication of NPC’s getting screwed” I love the title you gave this video 🤣
“Detective Mode Tutorial added so people don’t miss this function” and all the other snippets is a funny and cool way to bring in all the lore together
The woodcutter video is a great example of like talking to chat GPT where it just forgets literally everything from the conversation eventually goes back to nothing
I had a video idea recently after finishing a game I really enjoyed. It would be awesome if you guys could capture that lonely feeling of a completed game where all the NPCs only have a few dialogue options and the world suddenly feels empty. Being overpowered but it’s useless because there is no challenges left. I know y’all did something kinda similar in a previous video with the chores but this is another reality. 🤞
They've already done some of these videos like The empty feeling after 100 % completion, the whole saga with powerful Dark Night retiring in Honeywood and the one with deeply connection with NPC companion resulting in repeating the quest 😁.
@@ajakrejzova9951 Oh shoot maybe I didn’t look hard enough, thanks! 🙏🏽
0:58 you know if he had that much gold to pay from him you think he wouldn’t need to sell food to feed his family
I saw a theory I really liked that the gold used to buy and sell expensive items to adventures is actually the King's money for players to save the Kingdom, so poor merchants can't use that gold without getting into major trouble. The NPC'S are only allowed to keep gold if they earn it by growing or making items themselves to sell.
Greg, is one of those aware npc but still do his job as npc regardless of anything that happens around him
I thought I stayed up to date, but I haven't seen most of these before. I loved Greg's reaction to the photo filters!
Greg's wife being taken away is one of the darkest episodes you guys ever made tho
It’s so funny how Greg is the only sentient npc but all the others are so oblivious 😂
Not quite the only one. That tinfoil npc mentioned in patch notes is obviously one, and the grave diggers have more than once discussed game mechanics, being fully aware of their situation. Even Baradun, uncharacteristically, tried to make the woodcutter see his very existence for what it is. Bodger the Blacksmith, too, seems to be in the know, implicated by the way he trolls players now and then.
@@stalhandske9649 Charles the Mugger is also growing more aware despite the fact he keeps being reset by Bernard, and we've only seen the mayor, played by Adam, once but he showed real signs of sentience too.
22:02 the patch notes are the best kinds of references to prior episodes.
Unexpectedly touching!
Thank you, as always.
The woodcutter almost got me… right as the tears start to well up …..”whelp back to it, this trees not gonna chop itself”
Lol great stuff, love the channnel!
We need Greg to break code and go searching for his wife.
I've watched "Poor Merchant" about 30 different times and always crack up at "Why don't you just get a big bucket of water and just MURDER MY CHILDREN IN FRONT OF MY EYES!?"
All of these skits are so well done, they deserve accolades and rewards of their own. Even the support actors deserve praise.
Poor Greg, he looses his wife and child then he has to put poppy down. Rip poppy
i just realized that all the Zs coming from the bandit's neck was actually blood 😭 how come i didnt realize it before.
Good thing the fruit seller didn’t recognize the items looted from his house.
NPCs in one of my favorite games:
“99 Cotton Robes? How did you get 99 Cotton Robes? (15 minutes later) Back again? With 99 Cotton Robes?!
LOLOLOL the "picture mode" was hilarious!!!
YES! Another compilation I can watch on repeat!! ❤️
Another collection you should do: skits where the game's Matrix glitches, from the two Gregs and his wife to the maintenance and the woodcutter.
I think I'm the only one but the woodcutter episode gives me Wilford motherloving Warfstache vibes. 4:35
2:30 236,000+ gold on hand and you're worked up about the sale of a 1 cp item? No. Just no.
Hamish being forced to buy all that stuff sucks, but at least now he gets to sell it all to the next chump (or even the very same guy!) for like 10x the price! :)
Side Note: you guys should totally do a win skit for hamish where an adventurer DOES accidentally sell his main sword or something and now has to buy it back for a huge mark up. Maybe the adventurer decides it would be easier just to kill him and take it back and he gets massacred by hamish a la "crazy strong npcs" fashion!
It's truly amazing how much of a masterpiece these are.
Can I just say the music for all of these are Game of Thrones level of epicness!! It really draws out the emotions...specially Quest Greg...damn...
I do hope Greg gets his wife and child back. Honestly even peaceful skits of their daily lives and fond memories would be a welcome addition to content. A feel good series of shorts maybe?
1:46 Complains about kids. But has all that gold to buy the adventures loot, instead of giving it to the kids.
