I mean. It's Wizards of the Coast.

Accurate.

Lmao

Well, if you played the game you would definitely notice that there seems to have been two different teams between those that made the actual gameplay and those that made the cutscenes to the game

except these are characters in books and they wouldn't do the stuff shown, why the hell did they change aegis fang.

adapt...overcome

or if you are a Barbarian, you just Rage

LEEROY JENKINS!

Who is this leery Jenkins and Lukas you speak the truth

@@torekulgur7520 Leeroy Jenkins is a meme from World of Warcraft from ages ago. It is about a player who ran into a dungeon/raid before planning the strategy with the group first, resulting in a proper and beautiful chaos.

Yes that's what i was thinking. Seen the AI and stuff, really would like this to work.

Agreed the game itself is fun but the gameplay is so nerve-rackingly, inconsistent. The inconsistency of the controls is just annoying. The powerups you wont get at the end of a lvl. The same amount of potions you still carry even though you fully upgraded. But otherwise i am having fun playing it (with friends) i'd never touch it to play alone or with randoms =D

U wish.

Give us a Full Movie Like This and it would be EPIC!!!!!!

@@ThrawnsBack Way better than a live action.

Why would you use acrobatics to take down a pillar? It'd be athletics, and when fighting what looks like an adult white dragon a 22 means the barb rolled low at their level There is one specific thing barbs are good at. Being strong as fuck.

@@elaw7109 don't be that homie, homie.

The dragon went down a bit too easily, it looks moreso like a Young White Dragon rather than adult, since Drizzt is relatively the size of its head. As for acrobatics, I think it would require some acrobatic ability to jump and strike, so either or would be fine ^^

This is definitely not in line with the books

@Kolobius don’t be such a purist,dude, I play dnd as well & that video is badass,funny & awesome,these are facts.

Seriously dude I had that "wait a sec that's how my party acts" moment and I see your comment

@@VeritasIncrebresco My very first campaign ever, I tried a smartass attack on the first monster we encountered. It failed badly and my character died. I embody the complete zeitgeist of this trailer along with the very worst meaning of 'epic fail' My teenage years in a nutshell.

Lmao not lying, but not accurate. We have 2 rage looters and 2 Leroy Jenkins

my party acted differently, there were 3 guys working hard to solving a puzzle while 4th was trying to forcefully plunge poisonous mushrooms into one of 3 guys. It ended with big brawl between 4 of them where 3 normal guys were poisoned with halucination shrooms, so they thought they are fighting army of goblins. It was really hard for me and it was even last time I did something like that :D

then there is us few crazy people playing cleric chasing people down to heal them

Now if they'd just portray them accurately, that would be nice.

@@daleford8621 true, we can only hope

A very pale Drizzt. Dark elves are supposed to have black skin.

@@jeffallison09 there are different shades of Drow and the one shown in trailer above is accurate.

Yess ! Drizzt, Cattie-Brie, Wulfgar and Bruenor !!! from France :)

“Everyone has a plan except the guy whose plan is to just go punch the dragon in the mouth.”

Actually, Mike was quoting Gus, who was very loosely quoting this: "No plan of operations reaches with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy's main force." ~ Helmuth von Moltke 1880

@@stevendavis5026 The abridged version is no battle plan has ever survived engagement with the enemy.

"Everyone hath a plan, until they get punths in the mouf"

Everyone has a plan until the DM says "Roll initiative"

If only they acted here in line with how they were in the stories

@@zeroken9743 My exact thought Zeroken... For the love of god... Why couldn't they at least get the bow, Heartseeker, right?

@@zeroken9743 Wulfgar did not give off any of these vibes int he stories. At this point in the saga Wulfgar would have been far more tactical having known Drizzt all these years. He never even yelled out a warcry for Tempis. Doubt Bruenor would have just stopped caring about killing a dragon while his adopted children and his great friend were in danger to look at treasure... No issue with Cattabrie though. Drizzt is far more soft spoken even in duress honestly. Everything the books envoked i did not see present aside from the faerie fire and Gwenwyver. Also... Wulfgar could have just thrown his hammer as it has an effect similar to Mjolnir. (Unless i am missing something from the stories) I vaguely remember in Crystal Shard him throwing his hammer into the ice cavern to separate a large hanging icicle to pierce the dragons back.

@@jerem442 I agree. The only question I have: It is Shimmergloom at the beginning?

@@lordragon4358 that's icingdeath

Yeah... Wulfgar was supposed to be the lead character of the books until Drizzt became the darkhorse character and got promoted to head-guy.

Yes, that’s right it’s not their usual behaviour. And Cattie Brie has a lot of temper, too. But it’s from a game, apparently. I wish someday there would be a GOOD dnd movie about Drizzt, but faithfully from the books.

Exactly my thinking!

This is Hollywood 2021 after all.Male characters can only be portrayed 2 ways,bumbling idiots or Absolute evil.

@@richardpaquette7303 actually this is reflecting people playing the characters. because its a game. kinda like the leroy jenkins from WoW incident

I started reading the Salvatore books in 1994

1997 for me.

Omg. Yes. Brought back waves of nostalgia. Sigh.

I'm sorry that you must have been so disappointed.

@@hellsente7826 Who hurt you?

Was that the dragons of spring dawning and that?

look for forgotten realms books there are 3 or 4 trilogy sets(maybe more now lol) that revolve around drittz ...a drow elf ranger thats good instead of evil by author R.A Salvatore..several good series there aside from the drittz line as well tho all of them are series books and not novels so you burn thru them very fast

@@mountainmanfab for sure. I enjoyed the dark elf trilogy quite a bit.

@@mountainmanfab Love the Drizzt Do'Urden books, he's a great character.

@@jasonharwood5515 That was the Dragonlance series!

This is a video game

@@whiskeySe7en oh.

My dude, you need to look up two indie films right now. The Gamers, and The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. Hands down the greatest 2 films ever made that involve D&D.

But that's better right ?

A running gag of myriad extras running around, but the main characters only ever encounter the same actor playing anyone they actually interact with. If the male bard attempts to flirt with a barmaid, it's an extra until the bard gets up close, and then it's obviously a dude in a wig, but they play it as if 'she' were still hot.

That wasn't Aegis Fang...

@@nicholicroghan3491 well, he throws it in the game and it returns to him, and it's Wulfgar wielding it, so chances are it's supposed to be aegis fang

@@nicholicroghan3491 it IS Aegis-Fang, the fuck is he gonna use then? HOLY AVENGER?

I have seen his intelligence ranked at 15 or 17 so why is Wulfgar acting like an idiot? Sure it's funny, but role play a little.

@@nicholicroghan3491 you serious rn?

Thats the thing. Take the people who made this, have the gang of this clip go on some seemingly simple quest of a kidnapped young boy that ends up with facing some ancient evil. Put in some cool/funny/sad side characters that provide opportunity for emotional scenes. Have a counter gang of typically evil folk like an orc a goblin and a gnoll led by a high elf sorcerer that works to free said ancient evil and provides the sense of urgency for the quest. Doesnt even need any highly expensive top tier writer at that point to make really fun 120 minute fully cgi movie.

You need to see Gamer: Dorkness Rising. It's on KZfaq

@@MrSlimJimProductions i know that one. but im moreso asking for "this fantasy world takes itself 100% seriously, most characters are serious but have some funny traits" than "funny and silly are the main things we want to do".

Well they did (:

@@AvengerYouT Nice (:

thats Tony Stark no?

@@pudder68 yes, from the avengers, before the fight with thor

Love this

Sounds like it went from a massive epic brawl…..to both getting exhausted and slapping at each other like little girls weakly….till they fell asleep.

probably why dark alliance has no bard class :)

@@HighmageDerin Dark Alliance doesn't have a bard class because there wasn't a bard in Drizzt's party.

Barbarian: "I want to SMASH the dragon!!!" Bard: "I want to......Smash......the dragon!" ^_^

Nat 20: "Congratulations. You seduce the dragon. You unfortunately learn, way way too late, that the dragon is a male, and definitely a top. Your party is left in peace to recover both halves of your corpse as the Dragon apologises embarrassed saying that has never happened before."

I've literally never heard of or met someone who tried to seduce a dragon in the game. That sounds really dumb and obstructive to everyone else's fun.

I was expecting Wulfgar to be beardless and have longer hair, but still a awesome trailer.

Relatable to source material, bah! I am tired of the PCness that has been added because some NON-players got their panties in a twist.

@@rosemarotta3320 what was added?

@@donovanfaust3227 nothing was added as such. Trigger warning ⚠️ What I have the issue with is that the source material (the books) clearly state multiple times that Drizzt is ebony skinned. He continues to be portrayed differently. Keep him as he always has been and teach real people the lessons that were learned in the books. Skin color and heritage do NOT define who you are, but they are an integral part of who you are, either for good or bad.

@@donovanfaust3227 Bruenor cares more for Cattie-Brie, Drizzt, and Wulfgar than any amount of tradition or treasure in the multiverse. Wulfgar is actually a capable tactician. Drizzt is more of a reckless firecracker than the rest of them combined. They got EVERYTHING wrong about these characters' personalities. That being said, it definitely fits the typical DnD party! Lol Very entertaining to watch.

Only if you can't unlock Zaknafein, Jarlaxle, Artemis, or Montolio from the Drizzt canon.

@@Cthulhuguru jarlaxle ftw

@@daleford8621 Agreed. Best personality among Artemis, Zaknafein and Himself.

Artemis for me. Had such great character development through the books. Salv just knows how to do character development that many miss.

@@timhudson3032 he does have a pretty cool arc. Especially in the later books after the reincarnation.

don't forget trusty Gwen too ;)

ya but the game is garbage and they deserve better.

@@alexanderdooley5833 haven't played it yet but if it is as you say then yeah

Warren Hailes; Right. Damn I wish we could get a movie 🍿

thats a purple elf.

no, he just passed his stealth roll

He's off looking for the treasure ...

Amen!

idk if you know, but in the game he's called Bruenor. so drizzt called him Bruenor in the cinematic trailer here....

@@fyrnebrithil Uh....Regis...is...a Halfling. Hes a thief. Bruenor is the Dwarf. You know. The King of Mithril Hall. Regis is not depicted in this video.

I had the selfsame thought!

Wulfgar was born ages before. Sorry kiddo.

There are a ton of good D&D books, modules, short stories, and computer games that could be adapted to the big screen. Instead we'll only ever get nothing, or crap.

I come from the future: I saw the trailer and it is not.

@@Z1gguratVert1go one can dream

@@gastonlanteri1147 oh hamburgers

Sorta kills me that they characterized Drizzt as a rogue in one of the trailers. But then again, Regis wasn't really ever in the action the way these guys are. Regardless, I agree with you about Gwyn.

@@jamesrosenbaum8770 Regis was mostly useless. Even as a halfling thief his stats were garbage

@@Biostasis5x7 I would argue that he was characterized as being a smooth talking swindler/diplomat more than a rogue, but D&D doesn't highlight non-combatants very well. That is to say, in the world of fantasy combat, someone like Regis would definitely be considered useless.

Except they didn't. The game is abysmal.

@@JakeIncarnate so I see...they did them dirty after all these years of waiting. Guess I'm sticking to the books.

Nope, WotC dropped the ball.

@@warfightersanonymous7760 the next book retcons all of drow history, there are entire cities of lawful good drow and drizzt isn't special Have fun!

sadly the game isnt nearly as great it lacks much content

Honestly between Magic the gathering, Forgotten realms, Dragonlance, and Warhammer alone Wizards of the Coast has been sitting on a dragons horde of material for live action adaptation but instead we get 2 crappy DnD movies(1,3) 1 good DnD movie(Wrath of the Dragon God) an animation of the first half of Dragons of Autumn Twilight and a never ending stream of God awful Pokemon movies. It pains me so so much.

@@avrilfan0521 Even if it was just a bunch of animated stuff. You see a number of real good animated series on the big streaming services right now. This kind of stuff would be perfect for that format in my opinion.

Spartan either way it is untapped potential

It's 2021. Epic is now spelled w-o-k-e, and sadly, this would likely reflect that.

@@Emily-fo6iw unfortunately that is true

You really should give the books a read if you ever get a chance, I don't usually read books bc I tend to fall asleep on them. I was given my first RA Salvatore book as a gift so I decided to give it a try and was hooked on the "The Dark Elf Trilogy" and the "Icewind Dale series."

especially the book that i dont know if it exists, where drizzt comes back home to his city Menzo and wreaks bloody havoc on the matriarchal tyranny within...

You really need to read more.

Agreed, Drizzt is by far my favourite D&D character, was nice to see Guenhwyvar being summoned as well

Welp, the new movie was like this. Action and humor.

​@Gulgulp. Maybe but the new movie doesn't have drizzt do'urden so it failed,these are facts.

@@drizztdourden666 i dont think it failed, i had a fun time watching it, but it would also been better if drizzt's crew were in it.

​@@Gulgulp. Just because you like it that doesn't make it good,obviously the world doesn't revolves around you,these are facts.

@@drizztdourden666 It's not just my opinion, more than 3/4 viewers liked the movie, it made more than 208 000 000$ at box office for a budget of 150 000 000$, even if it wasn't perfect, that's a success, and this is a fact.

Regis? tthey pictured Bruenor as a fucking Tasslehoff from Dragonalnce Saga

yeah Bruenor has never given a shit about money

Yeah really agree. Borderline racist, just because he's a dwarf he *has to* go crazy for gold right?

well the joke is, that this playes on actual players in DnD campaigns NOT the characters themselves. Unless of course they characterize Bruenor that way in game then yea...agreed

D&d itself?

@@paulqruel9290 : I think the video game this trailer came from. I haven't played it, but did watch an Angry Joe Review that says it's pretty dog poo.

The game was a total disappointment, and the devs who did the gameplay did obviously not understand what makes D&D good

The game was actually good its just society can't seem to understand that they have such high expectations, self absorbed egos complacent nannies...

It could have been as good as game of thrones

@@rubysultra indeed we could have gotten a retelling of the war between the dark elves and Mithral Hall. even an epic face off between Artemis and Drizzt.

Skull2470; Man I wish they would make a Thousand orcs into a movie

When the DM plans a cool dragon fight but keeps roll 2s on a d6

because its an ice dragon, and they did to little to no effect. but the DM might say "thank you for nothing, you useless Reptile" as its defeated before it can use the "cool" ability it was hiding

@@Hypersaiyanike On watching it again, I now see he did use his Breath Weapon, it was just entirely ineffective (save for half damage? ^_^)

IIRC, lore says that white dragons are the stupidest.

If my party takes too long, I force their hand. Chaos ensues. Tis glorious to behold.

Every WoW trailer that disappointed me when I tried to play the game and its not that good looking lol

LOL

Right; Damn I want a movie, Hell I’ll take a Netflix TV series

Most def

​@@LaraCroftEyes1 Ah crap... This is what happens when you get too excited...

Hell yeah same. Hopefully it isn’t trash

@@johnheather19 Hope is all we can do right now..

Sorry man but I just don’t like it. It got way too many small issues for me. Also it looks like a 360 era game. Plus with me it stutters constantly with frame rate issues (I’m not super picky with frame rate stuff either)

@@johnheather19 I paid for the game so i dont have a choice gotta face the consequences LOL.. Must play the game ...

should put in Artemis too

The Companions are not complete without Regis / Spider Parrafin.

He’s hiding with the actual loot, after leaving that one chest to distract the others 😉

@@williamgilbert6621 lol good answer XD

@@williamgilbert6621 Was EXACTLY what I thought the minute I read the question - with the loot

Back in 1989

Just finished 1st 3 drizzt books but that's it

All of... again, again, and again

I read the Icewind dale trilogy, The first 5 Drow books, anything with Drizzt in it. He's been my favorite fictional character for years and I've prayed for a game that truly depicted his journey. Don't know if this game does but D&D shouldve been capitalized on this character before Marvel and DMC, DARK SOULS, etc set their worlds up.

That reminded me of the 8 Bit reenactment of D&D. ("I attack the Darkness.")

"Cast Fireball and only Fireball. Nothing but Fireball Just Fireball. *Just Fireball.* *JUST FIREBALL-"* - Jocat.

I still want the Next live action D&D flic (hopefully made by people who accually CARE about D&D this time) to have a part where one of the main characters dies. Only to have a new character join the party in the next scene, played by the same actor!

Drizzt Do'Urden!

There`s problems using established stories from the Forgotten Realms due to copyright issues...i think eventually they will get sorted out though and some series of films will get made...

me thinks too :)
