Depending on time availability I didnt used to mind either. But the latter over the years can exaust me.

    *** Warning this comment may cause someone to get triggered and miscontrued as arrogance, know it all and geeky. Rest assured, I am posting this comment because I truly believe that this series can be an epic comedy/fantasy/adventure story. I just like to give my views on the progression of characters in the story.
    DM - good work on handling the progress of the story especially on numerous curveballs being thrown by Bodger/Rowan.
    Bodger - Rowan was able to bring in and immerse the very essence of bodger into the story. Pushing the character to next level adding impulsiveness, intrusive and blunt characteristic is brilliant.
    Bob - Ben did a fine job in creating and developing a the new character. I recognized the base perosnality of bob as like Ben's mugger character: rough, seemingly logical but easy to succumb to peer pressure. Adding the gory, manical alter ego is simply hilarious.
    Baradun - Adam's personality is right for a mage character but I feel like in this in this series he is playing it to safe. I like the Baradun he played in the first D&D series with Britt. I feel like the current is lacking the extreme sense of self importance during the dialogue cutscenes. I like how ben, alan and adam portrayal of mages in the video with the spellcasting blinding spells. A touch more of arrogance and condescending remarks should do the trick.
    Greg - Alan was able to bring in the essence of the character Greg into the adventure but I think tends to be overshadowed by the other characters. My only suggestion though to bring him more to the forefront is during dialogues is to rekindle the rivalry between Greg and Bodger. The video about my quest is bigger than yours is hilarious.
    Anyway, these are just my two cents. I truly wish you guys success and I will continue to support you. 😁

      Can't tell people how to play their characters. I mean not like that. Greg is the type of character who is supposed to get overshadowed in my view, he's the "regular guy." I also feel like baradoon has been humbled. He's not the same person he was at least not at the moment. If I would ask for anything, which I'm actually already starting to see, it'd be more callbacks to the characters past. I loved meeting bob's brother, and bodger "knowing" their current area is pretty interesting too. Give Gregg a snow tike too!! That'd make for some amazing interactions. 😂😂

    • @MrUod
      @MrUod Před 3 lety

      @@mctv6829 I totally agree and I understand what you're saying but I think we are simply looking at it at different point of view. The premise of my comment is in consideration with the possiblity of the series being converted to a novel or a graphic novel, that being said, they are no longer simply playing d&d but writing a story in the process. I'm just pointing out my observations on some character inconsistencies in the development of the story as well as suggestions as a fan of fantasy novels. Normally, I will not give a hoot but I believe in them and their product. I just want to give my utmost support so that they can produce the best story that they can in their own perspective. In the event that the series goes to print, the inconsistency will be corrected and filled by the perspective/personality of the editor. I would rather preserve their own personalities in the characters that they developed since before the d&d series. Bodger is Rowan, Bob is Ben, Greg is Alan and Baradun is Adam.
      Again, these are all just my feedbacks on what I enjoy in their product and if found unwarranted I sincerely apologize to the VLDL gang.
