The fact that most of these NPCs could've lived normal lives but couldn't due to meeting Baradun and the Dickheads makes me laugh every time. 😂

“Locket, locket, locket, locket, LOOOOOOOCKET.” Is still my all time favourite low charisma roll interpretation

As Baradun once said, "Guys, are we the bad guys?"

Not a lot people can pull off interviewing themselves, and this was one of the best such interviews, really enjoyed. Rob pulled it off excellently XD

Dirk is the one I feel the worst for. Dude saved their lives from a frozen wasteland and they proceeded to make him give up on life entirely. There's chaotic good, and chaotic evil. And then there's just absolute chaos.

Robert Hartley, man of a thousand faces. He could be anyone. YOU could be Robert Hartley

We need a kettlesten interview that would be fun to see how it turns out

Brings in Dirk: Depressing cries Brings in Pearl: Tries to calm her makes it worse Brings in Dude: bores Sur Vey Brings in Frank: full guilt trip

I was waiting from the start for Frank, I knew he would show up 😂 Also props to Rob for being an amazing actor! I forgot most of the time that it was just him playing against himself, it really felt like they were all completely different people

Holy smokes what a phenomenal idea. I'm so glad these poor, poor, hilarious NPCs got a second round of showcasing, cause so many of them were just bombshell moments

"...Most rounded, three-dimensional, multifaceted..." Proceeds to speak only in NPC loops. This is, by far, my favorite one 🤣

I want to see them meet Frank's ghost, and try to resolve his unfinished business. But knowing Baradun and the dickheads they would probably just end up sending him to hell...

Now into the mind of rob. The dm slowly going crazy from herding “The dickhead squad”. May this cry for help lead you to healing Rob. Brilliant work as always try not to go crazy just yet.

Omg, the poor NPCs. Honestly, Baradun and the dickheads are villains xD Also, props to Rob, absolute godtier acting

The "pearl necklace" wore by Pearl is a nice subtle detail !

I'm hoping after the hags bit ends Sir Vey talks to the hags and we get more on their actual backstory since the adventuring party just went about killing them without actually talking, or interview the "villains" lol

It's quite a shallow gene pool in Azerim isn't it... strong family resemblances shared by a lot of people. Also, is that the first time we've heard Pearl's surname?

Rob's fake crying is too damn realistic. Kudos, but also dammit. I'm too much of a sap, it sets me off every time, Rob!

5:59 That's a callback to the necromancer that's disgusted by its own job! 😂😂😂

The "It's a working title" gag gets me every time 😂 Also, someone really needs to talk to Dirk. That guy needs to get it out of his chest... The locket... He needs to take the locket off his chest and tell us, what's that about huh? What's the deal with that lock... et.?

The evidene for "are we the baddies" just keeps on piling up.

Can we take a moment and appreciate robs voice acting dedication

I love that they take our ideas and make episodes from it.

It's crazy to think this campaign has been going for almost 2 years and it's still just as entertaining. So many characters and events, videos like this are awesome to call back on them. Poor Dirk. I wait for the day Hamish returns... well his character anyways. Glad he's got to return to play Byrons character during the green screen shoot.

So many fantastic moments. "This is the worst birthday ever!" and "Locket, locket, locket. .... Favourite traumas?" always pop back in my mind.

I just want an interview with the frog king conral, I imagine it will be ser-vey introducing him and as conral lists off his many titles ser-vey tries to cut him off and canral keeps shouting insolence and tries to start again 😂

This was BEAUTIFUL! Holy cow Rob you knocked it out of the park

I LOL'd so hard in that initial episode with Frank. Toughest old man ever. "this is the worst birthday ever" roflmao

That was probably funnier than it had any right in being

I think the only stable NPC left after encountering The Dickheads is Bodger's brother. 😁 Waiting for Sir Vey to bring in Kettlesteam for an interview. ouuh... and that birdman who has to dive and save Bodger. I bet he got a word or two in mind for a particular Dickhead. lol

He didn't even let them finish their stories. *OUTRAGEOUS!*

So this is what happens when Rob gets bored and decides to play with himself. On camera.

Dirk and Frank actually made me feel bad for the way the characters met their end, but this was a fantastic episode!

Awww Dirk. Poor Pearl! FRANK!!! So fun to do it all in one lol. I love how he just made Pearl worse

Honestly, Dude has the coolest costume in the series

So what Rob has done here is that he wanted have an episode alone, away from the insanity? Even as God, Rob wants to escape the group xD

Rob is so talented. he's a brilliant mathematician, the best DM and a really great actor. it takes a lot of passion to turn an NPC from a stat block into a character people can care about, relate to or torment.

My multiple personalities speaking to each other while I sleep:

"Oh No" You read that in Frank's voice.

Frank looks remarkably intact for someone whose got a collapsed lung followed by being brutally stabbed in the stomach and then decapitated.

I completely forgot that Frank's son was raised from the dead by Inquisitor Bonecaller. Now that Bonecaller is going to meet the party, we could actually see Frank's son in the campaign as well.

Good work Rob. Such acting range

Frank. Left alone tied to a chair BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

Feels somehow completely fitting that Sir Vey just traumatized all of these poor NPCs even more! (All that time interviewing Baradun and the Dickheads, they may have started to be a bad influence...)

Oh no, the chaos and despair brought by BATD is contagious! It's spreading from all those poor souls to those who talk to them! Before long, only an emtpy shell will be left of the mighty, confident and handsome God of Interviews that Sir Vey once was...

And thus another horribly ruined npc by the name of Sir Vey was created

"Well, perhaps he is at peace now", said master Padrick, but now I see even that was taken from me. 😔 Dirk, forever remembered. Loved this episode, even Sor Vey himself looked a little queasy 😂

Sir Vey get's traumatized more and more... :D

Yaris Goldhorn come down you're the next contestant. Seriously though would be fun to see some of their enemies come in and get interviewed

I can't wait for Goldhorn to show up and explain how and why he'd do things differently

That genuine plea for help with the title. Just utter perfection.

Ahh the trail of shattered souls they left in their wake. Poor Dirk, poor Pearl! We need more of these. One on our favorite ginger haired cleric might be nice. I honestly want to know if she knew or guessed whether Greg had a crush on her or not 😄

What's better than 1 Rob? 5 Robs! Didn't realize how many Robs they've just straight up scarred for life (and in death for some) and willing to bet there's plenty more (Robs) to come that are not going to enjoy their time because of Baradun and the Dickheads in some form or another. If caused physical pain then most likely because of B.O.B. possibly suggested by Greg. If emotional or mental pain/anguish then definitely because of Bodger for prying, or Baradun/Greg for illusions of someone who hasn't been seen for while or is presumed dead or for burning someone with fireball or Poppy, if B.O.B. then because he probably just exploded someone they cared about. Can't wait to see where this story continues to go and how many more lives they destroy in the process. One of my favorite Behind the Dice videos so far!

When Rob says 'watch this space' on his twitch stream, you know good things are happening! Sir Vey, please arrange a support group for these poor poor souls! Baradun and the d'heads are clearly the actual villains here, leaving so much heartache, death, trauma and general destruction on their travels! ❤️😂

Those poor traumatised NPCs. The ones I feel for most are Pearl and Dirk. A helpful woman who just wanted to sell masks, and a poor goliath who just wanted to do something nice for a roaming band of adventurers. Good deeds never go unpunished.

They forgot Unim and Notim, the Portant brothers. I guess their names says it all.

"Sir Vey Surveys" perfect name

I think this was the hardest BTC to make bacause Rob had to play all characters by himself only

"Sir Vey's Survey Format Show We Are Not Allowed to Call Sir Vey's Surveys" is always a treat.

Rob and his one man show... Well played sir. :)

When you are on episode 152+, the fact that Frank'son was raised as a zombie by Bonecaller hits different

Here's a suggestion (or two) for the title of the show: Sir Vey and the Title That Works/and the Working Title!

Dude Rob is a way better actor than he gets credit for. This was gold lol

Pearl Bu Cake. The comedy in this series surpasses anything i've ever seen.

So... That's what you get for having a chaotic neutral squad roaming around

Did ya ever think that someone could do more damage to Pearl than BOB? Also this is the content we didnt know we needed but are oh so glas it arrived

Thank you for this. It came at the perfect time. I was really down and then this popped out. And Rob is really the Epic NPC Man. He played so many awesome NPC's.

Sooo many characters... so little time.... so much death.

Show Title suggestion? The hand that throws the die...

1000 facials… Pearl Bukkake 😂😂😂 how did i miss that when i watched it!? Brilliant!! 😂😂😂

Somebody get this guy an agent and get his ass into some movies..... this guy can get into a roll at the flip of a switch and he is so good at fleshing out a character with just his voice and manurisims.

Excellent! Adventurers always seem to leave a wake of ruin behind them and VLDL’s Baradun & the D-ckh-ds are no exception. Great stuff, well done Rob & the VLDL team! “Outrageous!”

This had to be the best one of all. It truly shows how impactful the party can be

If the gang ever encounters a mission that requires a specific alignment, you can conveniently pull this video up as Exhibit A for Chaotic Evil tendency 😂

I think "locket, locket, locket, locket" might be the funniest moment in the series. you guys are all so good at getting into character. Rob is really good at convincing me he's different people.

I like the range of actors in this sketch

Like Sun Tzu said "No NPC survives contact with the party."

This is what happens when you lock Rob in a room with costumes and a camera.... lol looked like he had a load of fun with this.

Man Dirks performance here really made me realize how much VLDL treats this as a game and doesn't get immersed in the world, I feel really bad for Dirk. I think you did a great job with his background and his personality, too bad his storyline was cut so short.

Im rewatching this in 2024, and would love to see more of this!

Subtly dropping in that necromancer, I will be watching this space

“Sir Vey’s Survey “ I can’t wait for them to have Baelin on this one

That's when the fearless adventures realized.. they needed more back story

"Welcome to Interplanar Survey, with your friendly Host Sir Vey, God of Inquisition, where we survey interesting beings of diffrent planes for their valuable lifetime experiences!"

How callous of you Sir Vey. Those poor people, they're whisked away from their lives (or unlife) to your interview and you're either bored or instantly regretting summoning them. I demand Cancun next! Lmao

Adam Alan Rowan Ben I hope you all see this and reflect on the trail of damage and destruction you’ve left behind you also that was very very well done rob will we ever get an update on Pearl and her therapy or Frank’s progress towards his unfinished business as a ghost

Pearl Bukakke, you just couldn't revisit Rimming without adding another lewd name pun could you? Cracked me up xD

survey surveys sorcerers soundless sages and sell swords

Franks totally going to be haunting Gregs shop when they finally get back isn't he... :) I hope he gets on with the Watcher..

Well on the plus side (with pearl) the contestants usually forget that they were on the show so she should forget that she was there …..hopefully ….

I love that Pearl grew a beard. Good for her ❤

This is the answer to "Tell me you're a good actor, without telling me you're a good actor."

Lorquin, where are your gorgeous subtitles? I love them especially since the ruined NPCs are one of my favorites and the subtitles give them so much more despair 😅 VLDL, I love your work! Please stay how you are and continue being an awesome bunch of creative people!

Bro you're such a good actor these characters are so good 😂😂😂 especially dude xD

Did I just watch 7 minutes of Rob talking to himself?

Loved this! I feel so bad for Dirk and Pearl, they truly did not deserve what happened to them. I feel bad for Frank and Dude too but honestly, they put themselves in their situations(and I admit I laughed at Frank's death ☠️😂)

I really am liking the title, “Sir Vey interviews people about their experiences on the material plain of please help me with the title”, it has a nice ring to it. :)

I've been waiting for this

5:03 Sir Vey might just have been even more savage to Frank than Baradun and the dickheads were. The dismissiveness in his voice and the slight chuckle. Ouch!

It's amazing how he can display the characters emotions and backstory. Dude was pretty amazing at displaying how these npcs would feel and respond to how these guys are so irresponsible with their actions.
