You know, I actually already Play matchless Kung Fu. The translation can be kinda jank, but it's pretty cool over all. And the recent changes means that an old master can defeat a young prodigy, if built right (where as previously, having the right bloodline made you almost untouchable.) Mind you, Karma's still make a pretty big difference. My only real complaint is that, once you get to a certain level of power, it's hard to find peers to test yourself against who won't just Axe you if you lose a spar. THe master of the Sword school in particular is rather merciless. Here is hoping they work Gu into something worth using, as well as the poison based martial art. (not that poison isn't useful- as a status effect tied to a weapon- but the Martial art dedicated to it is *terrible*.)
What baffles me about this game is that the romance goes full steam ahead when your characters believe they are related, and then when they're told 'no you're not actually related' it's treated as an afterthought. Like, the core of the romance is that these two characters want to have sex as siblings, no matter what anyone says, and then it's like 'oh wait no they're not actually related.' But they THOUGHT THEY WERE. FOR YEARS. Absolutely baffling.
the only way they could have made this better (worse, but funnier) would have been if them NOT being actually related was a deal-breaker. If they're gonna go all in, might as well go with inverting the trope where suddenly screwing one's sibling is ok because surprise someone's adopted! and take refuge in audacity
Wanting to protect your sister from marrying a creepy dude with an even creepier mom is a noble motive. It's a shame that it was his secondary motivating factor, with the primary being in his pants.
@@TheCrimsonRevenger Honestly it would've been more honest and on-brand if they just went full edge and left is as a "going full Targaryen" thing. It would narratively fit the game. The intro cinematic starts with pregnant women and babies being sacrificed in a demonic ritual, there's a brothel operated by a necromancer (yes, that implication is exactly what you think), the first boss of the game is a cannibal madman using blood magic derived from corpses he devours in front of Cairon and Calandra etc. etc. So I don't get why they even bothered to go with the "not actually blood-related"-cop out. 🤣
Oh my god, Calandra's voice actor is Alix. (Quite a few characters in Dragon Age Origins, default female Inquisitor voice in Inquisition, Traynor is Mass Effect 3) I'm sorry for her
I took note of him too and had to look up who else they got, 4 people from Vermintide it seems. The sister is Alix Wilton Regan, Kerillian. Bardin, Saltzpyre and Olesya are there as well.
so there's an ending where the main character was a villain the whole time, who pretended not to know anything about the evil scheme, and betrays his sister after having pretended to be in love with her for years? 10/10 GOTY

'you and calandra are not siblings' 'you came into the world as part of a ritual in which azaril summoned a powerful demon' so... they were born from the same ritual... started by the same person... which would make them siblings still.... okay
It's made by Germans, they ignore your petty moral qualms. They have a party in government (the Greens) who once lobbied hard to legalise animal love (until the yanks bought the party, now they support turning off nuclear power plants so they can burn more coal, the leader waxes nostalgic about her Nazi grandfather and wants to start a war with Russia). This sibling thing is pocket change to them.
If that means that they are siblings, then it unfortunately means that the fight between Cairon and Falk was basically about who got to engage in incest first. I really have no idea what to think about that.
That Falk guy trying to NTR cairon is voiced by Andrew Wincott, also known as the voice for Raphael in Baldur's Gate 3. How did this game get so many great actors?
I think it's similar to how Highlander 2 had Sean Connery in it. Sometimes, you need money more than you need to have any respect for the script you're reading.

All these names are from the Dark Eye setting, Germany's D&D so to speak. I played it and read the books a lot. The stories were always fantastical but still very grounded. What the hell happened?!
A relationship ended, and one side was very butthurt about it, trying to snitch on the little secrets behind the scenes? 😉 `But, please: Do not let me keep you from banging your sister, or so.´ 🤣
It was their try to be dark - no pun intended - and edgy. Didn't work out that well... I suggest playing the Drakensang RPGs instead, if you want your fix of Aventuria. (Not to be confused with Drakensang Online, which has nothing to do with the Dark Eye franchise. They only bought the name after the studio which developed Drakensang went bankrupt.)
What is incredible is how many good voice actors are in this game, and how interesting the visual design can be at times. Some of those enemies are outright inspired, and the environment is actually pretty good. Like, clearly a lot of work went into this game and it’s not quite so strictly derivative as it seems early on, though the Temu Witcher description from an earlier comment is very apt
Also Tzar Borimir in Victor Vran, a game that also had Doug Cockle (aka Gerald of Rivia) as main character and Andrew Wincott (Raphael in BG3) as taunting voice in your head
Oh boy, the game is rough and janky. But not in a mechanically broken way. Oh no. The cinematography and acting is hilarious. I wouldn't even say Dragon Age from Wish. More like "Dragon Age from Wish by people who just played through Two Worlds and watched Highlander"
two worlds, now theres a game i havent heard of in a long time. I actually enjoyed the gameplay from that game, but the dialogue and VA was beyond fucky lol.
@@declancampbell1277 Did you ever look at the any% speedrun of Two Worlds? You really need to go see that if you haven't, because how they beat the game is hilarious.
Hold up a minute. Children imbued with power of evil demon/god, urge to murder, absorbing each others gift, brother & sister saved from the temple... that's not wish Dragon Age, that's wish Baldur's Gate :D
OH GOOD LORD this is a Dark Eye game. The moment you said Aventuria, I knew. Aventuria is the setting of Das Schwarze Auge/The Dark Eye, Germany's "we have D&D at home". Played the actual pen and paper roleplaying game when I was a young teen a bunch, was a pretty decent and harmless introduction to the whole hobby. There are some decent videogames based on it even, mainly the DOS games were alright, but just like how Dark Eye could never fully shake the cheap knockoff vibes as a roleplay setting, a lot of the videogames are also low budget affairs made by third rate European game studios ... everything you see makes a lot of sense with that in mind
I wouldn't say that...by 3rd edition it was very much its own thing...and by 4th a set of rules so complicated that every single system had its own separate rulebook....with contradictory things between rulebooks and in the same rulebook....which is why me and my playgroup still play it (in addition to dnd). Also Aventuria in itself is rather different from DnD settings, because so much is extremely detailed. There are separate books for the cultures, faiths, regional differences, ecology and so on. It is probably the most detailed fantasy world put to paper...and is just 1 of many continents on the world in general
I found your channel recently from your Anachronox video. You are hilarious ser. Maybe it's b/c my mom is Scottish and grew up on stuff like "Are you being served" but I never tire of the dry wit humour style. Keep up a good work and happy holidays.
I love when you stumble across a new channel who's content you just know you're going to love. Interesting topic, 1h+, soothing voice, humourous, and funny edits that enhance and don't overtake the overall narrative of the video (couldn't stop grinning at the Holy Grail bit).
The tabletop RPG this is based on is "das schwarze Auge" I play it for 25 years now and it is one of the best rpg systems out there. Sadly the computer game version wasnt always the best...
I was listening to your video while playing and when Falk talked I stopped what I was doing because "Is this Raphael?? Is this voiced by Andrew Wincott?" I looked it up and yes, it's him :D
My god, your comments made this video and the game so much more hilarious. This is the first video I watch from you, stumbled upon it for some reasons, and I'm glad I watched. Well done! And WTF was that end... lol!
Judging by how close the sisters eyes are and how her whole face seems way too small for her head, sibling love might be something that runs in her family
I'm 3 minutes in and already f*cking flabbergasted that this is a DSA ("Das Schwarze Auge") based game, like "Satinav's Chains". The map at 3:10 triggered a whole wave of flashbacks.
An evil curse that gives your character a case of the Skywalkers/Lannisters (depending on your favorite franchise) is more original than your usual "boyscout suddenly wants to eat puppies for breakfast". And works better to scare the player, if this video is any indication. He should play the 1st Drakengard next for more sibling love and general bonkery (and unfortunately, bad combat) - from the weird even by Japanese standard creator of Nier Automata
I feel that Automata was like one game in franchise that actually was developed by competent dev they outsourced it to and the rest were just "janky Dynasty Warriors clone and DRAGONS". I've seen a video essay that tried to make it sound like an old guy making penis jokes is deep and profound so I stay away from that fandom.

@@redraijin8696better then woke new game i would prefer that then veilguard
@@azizalfa752 yeah I was thinking the same. This game graphics, fighting and dialogue might be janky AF, but at least it’s not some DEI hires therapy session turned video game like Veilguard 🤷♀️
Also because the jankiness and weirdness of this make it unintentionally humorous and like it might actually be fun to play. Also it’s cheap at only $4 on steam, so it’s not like it’s a big waste of money if you only play it once for a laugh.

All these names are from the Dark Eye setting, Germany's D&D so to speak. I played it and read the books a lot. The stories were always fantastical but still very grounded. What the hell happened?!
A relationship ended, and one side was very butthurt about it, trying to snitch on the little secrets behind the scenes? 😉 `But, please: Do not let me keep you from banging your sister, or so.´ 🤣
It was their try to be dark - no pun intended - and edgy. Didn't work out that well... I suggest playing the Drakensang RPGs instead, if you want your fix of Aventuria. (Not to be confused with Drakensang Online, which has nothing to do with the Dark Eye franchise. They only bought the name after the studio which developed Drakensang went bankrupt.)
@@Reviel17 Drakensang 1 and 2 are really quite good. The DLC for the 2nd is neat too.
This is literally a Dark Eye game! We went from Realms to Arkania to this, lol
Yeah. I understand that this is a The Dark Eye game but I can not comprehend it.
'Silence! I kill you' really flashbanged me
47:50 - Listened to this segment over and over, until the line "Chosen Undead." slid into my brain. Hit me like a sack of bricks.
I hate that the shading on Cairon’s pants makes it look like he’s wearing assless chaps
Usually we need to install mods for that.
That's exactly what I was thinking....for a split second...does he?....no he doesn't... does he? Lol
Well would fit the general setting
He is, he just Hides it well.
Aren't literally all chaps assless?
All chaps are assless, that's what makes them chaps instead of pants.
I immediately pegged your mystery voice as Kingseeker Frampt from Dark Souls.
1 hour video that felt like 20 minutes.
You are an absolute chad when it comes to making a long time feel short and fun
What is incredible is how many good voice actors are in this game, and how interesting the visual design can be at times. Some of those enemies are outright inspired, and the environment is actually pretty good. Like, clearly a lot of work went into this game and it’s not quite so strictly derivative as it seems early on, though the Temu Witcher description from an earlier comment is very apt
The funny thing is the voice cast for this ridiculous game is...actually decent. The player character is Luke Roberts ffs.
Not the Monty python Lancelot run 😂
Love your editing and humor in these videos of games I will never play, keep it up :)
The reverend is Kingseeker Frampt from Dark Souls and that stoney dude in Dark Souls 2
Also Tzar Borimir in Victor Vran, a game that also had Doug Cockle (aka Gerald of Rivia) as main character and Andrew Wincott (Raphael in BG3) as taunting voice in your head
Also he is the announcer in Anno 1404
Frampt! That explains it.
I was thinking he was one of the guys who reads quotes after researching new techs in Civilization.
He's also the narrator for the first Witcher game and the voice of thaler in both 1&3. (Peter Marinker btw)
Also narrator of the original Knights of Honour
It's like someone was watching Highlander, reading Game of Thrones and playing Dragon Age 2 at the same time.
Oh boy, the game is rough and janky.
But not in a mechanically broken way. Oh no. The cinematography and acting is hilarious.
I wouldn't even say Dragon Age from Wish. More like "Dragon Age from Wish by people who just played through Two Worlds and watched Highlander"
Hey, don't bash Highlander!!!! (There's only one).
@@StNerevar76 Indeed, there's only Highlander: The Source.
two worlds, now theres a game i havent heard of in a long time. I actually enjoyed the gameplay from that game, but the dialogue and VA was beyond fucky lol.
Dragon Age by the Zelda CDI devs
@@declancampbell1277 Did you ever look at the any% speedrun of Two Worlds? You really need to go see that if you haven't, because how they beat the game is hilarious.
The irony of the sister being a voice of FemQuisitor will never stop being funny to me.
I need to replay DAI real quick for maximum hilarity.
zombies with ninja speed is a really scary concept
Hold up a minute. Children imbued with power of evil demon/god, urge to murder, absorbing each others gift, brother & sister saved from the temple... that's not wish Dragon Age, that's wish Baldur's Gate :D
And in BG 2 Imoen in several places makes hints about feelings towards Gorion's ward. Just here and there.
OH GOOD LORD this is a Dark Eye game. The moment you said Aventuria, I knew. Aventuria is the setting of Das Schwarze Auge/The Dark Eye, Germany's "we have D&D at home". Played the actual pen and paper roleplaying game when I was a young teen a bunch, was a pretty decent and harmless introduction to the whole hobby. There are some decent videogames based on it even, mainly the DOS games were alright, but just like how Dark Eye could never fully shake the cheap knockoff vibes as a roleplay setting, a lot of the videogames are also low budget affairs made by third rate European game studios ... everything you see makes a lot of sense with that in mind
I wouldn't say that...by 3rd edition it was very much its own thing...and by 4th a set of rules so complicated that every single system had its own separate rulebook....with contradictory things between rulebooks and in the same rulebook....which is why me and my playgroup still play it (in addition to dnd). Also Aventuria in itself is rather different from DnD settings, because so much is extremely detailed. There are separate books for the cultures, faiths, regional differences, ecology and so on. It is probably the most detailed fantasy world put to paper...and is just 1 of many continents on the world in general
40:48 What IS that frog doing? Most compelling character arc in the game
If you told me as a kid there’d be a game thats like a fusion of Neverwinter Nights, Fable, and Dragon Age, I would’ve been so excited…
Latika is such a mood. I love her 😂
No HR watching over the shoulder for this game's dialogue lmao. Love it.
Jaimie and Cirse Lannister would be proud of these siblings.
I found your channel recently from your Anachronox video. You are hilarious ser. Maybe it's b/c my mom is Scottish and grew up on stuff like "Are you being served" but I never tire of the dry wit humour style.
Keep up a good work and happy holidays.
41:52 Ahahahah! The Monty Python reference was greatly appreciated!! Hah!
Andrew Wincott voicing Falk makes it a win LOL
This and the Anachronox video are amazing I love how it's a game synopsis but formatted like a movie where you're a narrator.
The Arnold Schwarzenegger aaarrrrrrrrgh when he dies is making me rofl
Calandra’s actress should get an award for managing to sell those wild lines.
That Monty Python bit made me choke on my drink, thank you sir
I love when you stumble across a new channel who's content you just know you're going to love. Interesting topic, 1h+, soothing voice, humourous, and funny edits that enhance and don't overtake the overall narrative of the video (couldn't stop grinning at the Holy Grail bit).
The tabletop RPG this is based on is "das schwarze Auge" I play it for 25 years now and it is one of the best rpg systems out there. Sadly the computer game version wasnt always the best...
but funnily enough the modules based around them are quite interesting.
I think the most amazing thing about this game is, how the voice actors read their lines without pissing themselves laughing!
As a fellow Anno 1800 player I INSTANTLY knew that voice... deeply ingrained nightmares indeed.
Having played more Anno 2070, it luckily doesn't awaken nightmares.
I was listening to your video while playing and when Falk talked I stopped what I was doing because "Is this Raphael?? Is this voiced by Andrew Wincott?" I looked it up and yes, it's him :D
The voice acting is so good though!!
Mustve been where the production budget went
My god, your comments made this video and the game so much more hilarious. This is the first video I watch from you, stumbled upon it for some reasons, and I'm glad I watched. Well done! And WTF was that end... lol!
Judging by how close the sisters eyes are and how her whole face seems way too small for her head, sibling love might be something that runs in her family
Okay this video is brilliant. The editing and such and limited downtime makes it very compelling to keep watching and listening.
Back when bad writing meant that at least it was going to be somewhat unpredictable... to think I would miss those times.
The designs of the siblings somehow scream mediaeval jane and john shepard to me :D
I'm 3 minutes in and already f*cking flabbergasted that this is a DSA ("Das Schwarze Auge") based game, like "Satinav's Chains". The map at 3:10 triggered a whole wave of flashbacks.
Talk about that WINCEST amarite guys?
Cheers mate, appreciate that 👍
42:51 oh I love you for recreating this! ♥️
"Mom, please buy me Dragon Age."
"We already have it at home."
This made me nearly cry from laughing-the edits, the humor, the soccer ball callbacks?? Subscribed immediately! 😂
11:27 "Thargunitoth" damn that word gives me nightmares at night
42:50 this is the best gag anyone has ever had in a YT video, AMAZING 11/10
Cairon yelling at dying Falk for answers had me dying.
The football thing done it for me. I lost control and couldn't stop laughing.
42:47 yes! XD thank you for this highest of classical memes the second the drumming started i recognized it.
An evil curse that gives your character a case of the Skywalkers/Lannisters (depending on your favorite franchise) is more original than your usual "boyscout suddenly wants to eat puppies for breakfast". And works better to scare the player, if this video is any indication.
He should play the 1st Drakengard next for more sibling love and general bonkery (and unfortunately, bad combat) - from the weird even by Japanese standard creator of Nier Automata
I feel that Automata was like one game in franchise that actually was developed by competent dev they outsourced it to and the rest were just "janky Dynasty Warriors clone and DRAGONS". I've seen a video essay that tried to make it sound like an old guy making penis jokes is deep and profound so I stay away from that fandom.
I was expecting the "Sister"' to end up stuck in a laundry washing machine at some point.
Okay I got to give the game credit that final choice was actually kind neat and unexpected.
The type of game where devs certainly had fun while creating it.
The Reverend guy sounds kind of like PlagueOfGripes.
13:25
Cairon: "A parry that doesn't look like a parry is the best parry of all!"
*SLASHES PERSON IN THE KNEE VIOLENTLY, THROWING THEM BACK FROM THE SHEER FORCE*
Cairon: "Parry!"
Oh hahaha, that is a "The Dark Eye" game, a famous RPG setting and system here in germany
I knew I recognised the deity’s names from somewhere !
@winfehler yeah, the main villian from the intro, Borbarad, had a huge campaign in the TTRPG
And sadly famous for bad PC adaptions.
@@Bear-rl6uk Bad adaptations? The Northland Trilogy was legendary back in the day (though the remakes were indeed shit), and the two Drakensangs were pretty decent, too.
At least nobody "pulls a Barve"...
The Reverend is the narrator of The Guild franchise.
