      The only scary Bilgewater characters in appearance are Tahm Kench, Pyke, and Nautilus to an extent because of how huge he is. The Void and the Shadow Isles definitely have a lot more scary-looking champions than Bilgewater, and even Zaun gives it a run for its money.

    Tahm Kench's theme music doesn't have the kind of excitement that lots of other themes have, but it's still _easily_ one of my favorites out of them all. Tahm was never my fave in-game, but everything about his themes is so damn well made imo

  • @fatcoyote2
    @fatcoyote2 Před 4 lety +192

    Tahm Kench's video, it makes me think that the bride was his target. Old Tahm had made a deal with the bride, for what I don't know, but no longer had access to her for some reason [MAGIC!], so he made a deal with the gambler, who fell in love with his bride to be. In collecting on the gambler's bargain, he also collected on the bride's. "Please! Not now! Not this time!" was what the bride said, not the gambler. She wasn't horrified because a monster was rampaging in her home, she almost seemed to expect it. "Not THIS TIME."
    Maybe she wanted a man who was bold, brash, exciting...like a gambler. Maybe she wasn't really a princess.

      There is no way someone escapes Tahm Kench. Even if you somehow make a deal and after that dissapear he can just go back in time.
      Your theory is very interesting, i think bride made a deal and when she has found her happiness Tahm came to take it from her.

    • @diamondmetal3062

      You know what, Kench strikes me as too classy a devil to involve random people in his schemes, it’s not as interesting to him. Plus, what’s better than collecting two debts at once?

    • @prodigal99
      @prodigal99 Před 2 lety +9

      I got it thanks to a fellow in the comments section of Tahm Kench's official teaser video. So basically Tahm Kench is a metaphor for greed.
      A gambler lost everything and had a chance to walk away, but greed showed up again and swallowed him up. Greed has a hunger only "men like him" could satisfy. Eventually he found love and married a "princess." This means his wife must be wealthy. The narrator says, "When that hungry beast finally did arise" he gambled away his wife's money. The family screamed and fought. The wife begged him to stop but he couldn't, so he lost the house, the gold, and his wife to "Tahm Kench" or greed.

  • @wowfan586
    @wowfan586 Před 2 lety +34

    I think Tahm is the manifestation of the gambler, the bride pleads with Tahm and Tahm responds which sounds like the response of a addict, 'it ate the gifts, the house and the gold'. "This hungers a burden... it's the last time I swear(gambling addiction) "so please forgive" all addicts use blackmail/sympathy to justify their habits

    I'm not a lore God, so I really don't know much about it, but wouldn't it be cool if tahm kench actually gave pyke his "immortality?" Like tahm kench obviously likes to prey on people, including the rich, so when pyke got betrayed, he saw the opportunity for pyke to basically hunt down the people and he could gluttonize on them.
