"Well I am a little goblin girl" Sam, we asked about the character...
oof
Ahahahaha
"Also yes."
Made me spit up my coffee. Thanks. XD
*Slow clap*
Campaign literally started with "Hey, you're finally awake..."
Haha
Love how everyone else instantly caught the reference
@@Guille2033 There was no reference. They laughed because of the accent he was doing
@@Kyurem97 it's a skyrim reference
@@Bb24138 Thats what Im trying to explain to you. Its not a skyrim reference. Its a completely basic thing to say when someone wakes up. He didnt even word it exactly like in the game. The others didnt laugh because of what he said, but because of how he said it.
Liam’s first words of this campaign: “I’m really filthy” Also Liam whenever anyone mentions that he is dirty: 😡
He doesn't mind being dirty, he just doesn't like them spreading the rumor that he's stinky.😂
I just started this; did seriously nobody take Prestidigitation? Half the reason I never take it is because someone else usually does.
@@nathanpetrich7309he’s intentionally dirty
@@nathanpetrich7309 Laura Bailey just turned it into a constant meme lol
That's kinda the point. He's not a fan of being filthy, so of course that's the first thing he points out about himself
30 seconds ago, i listened to Matt close out Campaign 1. Thanks to the internet, it's always Thursday.
Yess omg me too its so weird the new voices, and the sudden distrust... I loved VM but this is new and fresh and I am very curious about where this will go
Yeah, I just finished the first campaign and went straight on to this one as well. Just gotta watch it before the Mighty Nein show comes out lol.

Haveing seen the whole season so far sams accent hasnt changed very much
When you're really mad, but you're also really Canadian: "I would like to rage."
im canadien ...this is true
why is that so true holy crap
I thought it would be "I would like to rage, eh?" lol
Nah more “sorry for raging”
Godzilla 8000 it’s like OW Winston, “it appears I have lost control”
Sam saying: "Maybe it's not a goblin, maybe its a little hafling person or something." Hits differently now
Especially with the knowing look Liam and Sam exchange with each other.
The way he hesitated covering his face then cheekily drinks his mug really seems weirdly so clear and visible now... They're really good at foreshadowing without spoiling it.
Omg, yeeees
Matt also mentions Felderwinn (a town with a large Halfling population) right after...
"I'm just a vessel for higher powers" Molly says off-handedly in the first episode
Duuude.

I don’t know if Laura already knew she wanted that to be Jester’s accent, but I like to think she made that decision after hearing Sam’s character talk, and his reaction when Jester started talking was fantastic
If I remember correctly, she once said it was a voice she jokingly did around her home.

Hello we meet agen.... Still the qwestion arises... Who pissed in your cereal sexy half or man
Coming back to this video to say that I hope in the Mighty Nein animated series, the introduction dialogue between the characters is basically word for word- I have come back to this video many times for a good laugh- Nott saying she gets "squiggly", Jester telling Caleb he stinks, "How many gold did I get?" "Seven!" "Woo!", Yasha's deadpan, Molly's tarot reading. The whole thing is just gold.
I missed C1, but loved Vox Machina so i thought I would get into C2 before the Amazon prime series started, I just started watching and I already love Nott
They could literally use the sound from the episode itself if you ask me. Music included. The pillars soundtrack seems to just come in and support the scenes like magic. Little sad when it slowly replaced overtime by original stuff.
@@milesmanges enjoy the journey! it goes by faster than you think!
Yeah I hope they keep all of the Caleb's great moments at the start, Liam is so good at roleplaying, esp when you are on rewatch and remember this whole calm and non conflicting personality is all just a surface
20:26 - Caleb: "I'm prety filthy..." That's it. Your character for the rest of the campaign.
"You are under arrest what are your names" "Shirley" "Temple?"
Tyler Davies (slow head turn) Bo...
"Little girls don't tend to tell people they're little girls" "Sorry, it's my first time"

I was going to say that I would love to have Jester and Molly as best friends, but really, I could say that about any member of the Mighty Nein.
Old Wolf Logan Those two are the best choices though. Unless you also want to consider the complex relations between them, which could lead to a different choice.

I came back to this video for nott's accent.
There’s just one episode to go to for Molly’s accent, finally discovered, and it’s a sad one,,, all good things come with prices it seems
Whether intentional or not, a hobo making something of himself would be more confident in how he speaks and a goblin that might not be used to speaking common would sound very foreign until they found a group of humans to socialize with on a regular basis. I think this was unintentional and just kind of happened when they got more comfortable with their voices.
Guts The Berserker Sure; just actors getting more confident (or relaxed) with their character’s accent. I know this, I just made the comment for the amusing comparison haha~

I’m coming to C2 after catching up with C3 and my god, Ashley seems to physically change with her characters! I’ve seen clips of C1 and bits of the eps where she’s present and it just wows me everytime. She seems to become Fearne and Yasha and Pike. I’m truly impressed
So true.
This is my second or third time watching campaign 2 after watching all of them and I totally agree. They almost all if not all have acting backgrounds but Ashley really flips a switch and becomes the character at the table for the scene with little breaks for laughter and bits, it’s a very rare and impressive skill in ttrpgs. I think anyone that’s complained about Ashley for being absent at times or needing support for rules or lore doesn’t appreciate how in demand she is for this level of work.

Note: Watching this (Dec. 2023) campaign for the 4th time. By far the best in terms of unbridled humor, funny Sam ads, storyline, and production (especially audio). Zero player drama, crestivity and emotions all around, even while getting through the infamous 2020 pandemic. This will foerever be the best campaign Crit Role has made, in my humble anonymous opinion.
As someone just about to start watching this for the first time, thank you for letting me know I'm in for a good time ❤

It's weird to realize, from day one, not one of these people knew how this campaign would go. There's no telling how far even this first episode would go. Nobody has a script or any instructions except Matt's notes on how he wants to try to push things and the players knowledge of their characters. Yet somehow they all managed to make not one, not two, but three plus seasons of iconic characters and moments fully enveloped in the world. All the props to you guys.

Gotta say, one thing that’s really noticeable & wholesome in this episode is how much the group all love Ashley lol Like, obviously they appreciated her in the first campaign. But at least some of that could be mistaken for “yay, our happy little healer is here!” But here she’s introducing a more surly character and everyone still immediately loves her too. It’s just funny
Ashley is a great role-player, she just unfortunately was so busy filming a tv series (Blindspot) that she was rarely there so they all celebrated any moment they could get with her.

Beau instantly falling for Yasha is a WHOLE MOOD!
POV: you have played dnd exactly once in your life, came here because of the Vox Machina series, but don’t want (some) spoilers for Vox Machina, but want to experience Critical Role, so you started with campaign two like a madman and likely won’t get through two episodes let alone the campaign before the series
Yep. Sounds Abt right
The Marketing Director of DnD Beyond made the greatest decision of their life when they started sponsoring Crit role on this day.
Anyone who tried to shut down the deal probably is in a new job today.
Actually, on further reflection of my previous comment, Id like to add: Whoever made the deal could almost show up drunk, sleep at their desk, and when the intern asks how he gets away with it someone says 'he got us advertised on critical role'.
This is not how jobs work.
dude it's a joke
@@danielboatright8887 such nonsense
"what can i get you" "a trost for both of us" "for breakfast?" "yes" "i like you"
whats a trost by the way?
@@skabor1 trost is old german for comfort if im not mistaken so probably just a beer
@@steelwarrior105 Not just old German, but yeah, it's probably beer
I was also wondering this! :)
@@skabor1 the town is called Trostenwald and it's known for brewerys, so id imagine it's a colloquial term for an ale
First episode of Critical role I've ever watched, and damn that circus scene has me fuckin hooked with goosebumps by the way he was describing it. Can't wait for the rest!
Honestly, same. Started at the beginning of quarantine 2020 and i litteraly did not want to go to bed because that would be time wasted when i could be watching these idiots adventure throughout Wildemount
Jester is the reason I started critical role. Saw a compilation of her sendings and I was in love 😍🤣🤣 now I’m caught up and rewatching. This campaign is like LOTR for me once a year I watch it and feel all the feels🥰🥰
"can i keep my stick?" me when i was 6 years old and wanted to bring home a cool stick that i found
We all felt that when she said it
I'm so glad to read I'm not the only kid who did that!
@@dynestis2875 i think we all did that XD
“I would like to rage” Somewhere else in the realm, Grog suddenly lets out a cheer to the surprise of everyone around him
I'm grog
You're grog
We're all grog
so that is 5 grog's
Respectfully, we are all Barbarian Grog Strogjaw
Starting: 12/21/23 Finished: to be edited!

Good luck and have fun my friend!
Tell us when you finish!
the poetic cinema of caleb's first damage given being NEIN! 👌
Nott: "Oh you are finally awake" My mind instantly: "You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."
Bro this is good😂😂
YEAH hahahah
SAME
A man of culture edit: they also have skyrim and witcher music player in the background im pretty sure :p
I would be halfway to hammerfell if it wasn't for you damned storm cloaks
"Maybe it's not a goblin. Maybe it's a halfling person." God damn it, Sam.
Episode freaking One.
Oh my god. Two years!
yes i picked up on this now. Damn that's great foreshadowing
Right? And Sam checking with Matt, "Uh.... I know halfling, right?" LUL
Can you stop posting spoilers under the FIRST FUCKING EPISODE ..
Got through campaign 1, now I can finally start this one. Started: 14/12/22 Finished: To be edited....
I’m right there with you
Exciting! Campaign 2 is def my favorite.
Let’s fucking goooooooooo
Good luck!
Almost in time with you! Starting 23/12/22
I see a Lotta love for the ladies Jester and Nott (well deserved), but I need to say: I'm here for Fjord.
Just starting, and same!
when Sam said "your Laura is showing" I was dying

"Here in this sleepy trade stop along the amber road, a handful of wandering destinies slowly begin to intersect." Such a wonderfully worded beginning.
XxLoneWolfexX So lovely.
The amber thing filled my heart with joy 'cause I know Wildmount is supposed to be so pseudo-Eastern European and there's SUCH great fascinating history with amber trade routes throughout northern and eastern Europe, so as a reference point in the storytelling it was A+. (And the disappearance of the original Amber Room is one of my favourite historical mysteries.)
GotLostProductions I didn't know that! How interesting!
Matt is amazing at atmosphere and world building and I can't wait to sit and enjoy the ride every Thursday.
It gave me goosebumps and I couldn't fucking stop smiling. Matt is a master at what he does I stg
I first watched C2 without C1. These people on the screen were weird strangers to me, playing an even weirder dice game. That was a long while ago, I watched all of this campaign and then went back to Vox Machina and now I return as a person who has learned to love D&D, learened so much about it, played tons of games and now as a DM. These people on this screen now have so much more of a deeper and emotional meaning to me as well as the characters that they play.
My first encounter was a compalation of the furniture battle of c3, didnt know who any of the people where and felt like c1 started in media res (because it was) and started this instead and fell in love with everything dnd
I discovered CR a year-and-a-half ago, and I *just* caught up on Bell's Hells. Now that I'm actually finally waiting for new episodes to air, I figured I would start up Mighty Nein, because why not? Let's do this!
Same!
The light that leaves Caleb’s eyes when they first bring up the Academy is irl academy level acting. Holy crap, Liam.

I love how Sam pretends to make a gag character without much thought behind her, but he’s actually playing the long game from the start. It’s inspiring, really.
what do you mean? this is basically the first DnD thing I've seen and I doubt I'll watch literally all of them...(maybe I will... lol) could you explain? I'm not concerned about spoilers.
That sounds like my character
I know. His previous character was him literally trying to make the worst possible character based on Liam's suggestions. Which later ended up being much deeper and one of the most crucial to the campaign. This one seemed like a joke character and then it turned out it had such depth and backstory, with multiple twists. OneDankind, there's really so much to cover that would take a long time explaining, so it's not for lack of giving spoilers, but basically, yeah it just seems like a silly fun character here, but later we will find out a lot of backstory, that shows Sam created the character with a lot of deep backstory, and lots of it is actually sad or tragic rather than just a silly little goblin girl.
Larry Berry thank you for explaining.
Just re-watched this and noticed that Sam knew to speak halfling, that was a nice little wink.
Hey there. Finished C1 like 5 hours ago - weeping and overwelmed by feelings. Now let's go on a new adventure. I heard so many good things about C2. Let's dive in
Who else is watching again to get ready for the animated version?
Beyond excited 🥺
Me!!!
I've just started watching, first campaign I'm seeing from them. They're animating this? Hell yeah!!
Oh yeah, I forgot about all the Geek and sundry ads for things. Idk if it's because Sam spoiled me but I remember these ones being better than they are, they kinda eh now idk why
@@arridexerandco yes! Amazon prime also has their other animated series centred around their previous campaign, Vox Machina :)) definitely recommend it and that campaign as a whole aswell when you’re done here!
My Dm: You roleplay too much Critical Role: *Spends like 20 minutes role-playing right at the start*
You must challenge your DM to a duel and take the throne.
You can’t roleplay too much in a roleplaying game. If you were causing the people you are playing with to wait or to be uncomfortable with you that’s a different story. But the whole point of the roleplay is the immersion.
@@CAPGOD1 nah, I was just trying to settle into my character and stuff, wasn't rude or anything.
Your DM: You press too many buttons. You, playing Dark Souls: ಠ_ಠ
"You roleplay too much" It's a good thing this isn't a ROLE-PLAYING GAME.
"Is this the first roll of the campaign?" . . . "Natural 20." Epic.
Reeko Suave good omen
The evolution of Nott's voice is what I'm here for lmao
My husband is a big fan and says this is peak campaign. I’ve wanted to watch for awhile but I have two small children and work from home full time, so the only time I have available to watch is in the morning while I get ready. (He listens while he works, alone and not at home. 🤪) So I’m secretly starting to watch and am looking forward to understanding all the references when I complete the campaign in five years. 😂 3/9/24 Just finished everything including the extra shows! 🤩 This was so worth it, and I managed to last 9 episodes before I had to share with my husband that I was watching. 😂 I couldn’t keep it in I was so excited. Starting campaign 1 today!
26:15 "maybe it's not a goblin, maybe it's a halfling person or something" oh sam you bastard
He started so early.. and it hurts rewatching it T___T
Also “I know Halfling, right?” 😨 Somehow I never made the connection that **of course** Nott knows Halfling.
@@enternickname I haven't watched much yet, I saw some, got bored, and decided to start over. That said... What? I guess it is sort of suspicious... The halfling language is canonically rather private.
Post-watching, character impressions. Travis: Alright Matt, if you want to keep giving me sentient weapons, I'll make a guy who *worships* his blade. Marisha: Okay, I've already done Aang, time to play Sokka. Liam: That's one sad boy down, on to the next one. Sam: :pulls out the copious notes he took from watching the Goblins! One-shot: Laura: Being the sane, sensible member of the party was fun and all, but what if I just play a total troll instead? Talesin: Percy *almost* sold his soul to the devil...let's make a devil he *would* have sold his soul to. Ashley: :looking directly at Travis: *I* would like to rage.
This brought me joy
Beauregard is more like the girl in pink from Azula's squad that hits everyone in the pressure points to paralyze them (Ty Lee)
So basically. What I’m hearing is Travis: ? Marisha: ty Lee Liam: Zuko (both are emo) Sam: sokka Laura: korra? Talisin: katara? Ashley: torn between toph and azula Open to suggestions
*Korra, not Sokka
Travis was so proud the first time Ashley raged.
