Sam Riegel's Best Moments in Critical Role

Sam was one of the main reasons why I first got into Critical Role, with Scanlan in Campaign 1. Here are some of my favourite moments of his.
Is there any that I missed?

I love how "One walked in willing to fight two" is such a cold line. Only to remember it`s about the PC that made shit-scrying a thing. Damn.

there is actually a 3 part series on another channel that last 10 hours in total that is called "best of sam" and funny thing is, is "only" until episode 85 of the first campaign in moments. given that the average gameplay time of a cr episode is a little more than 3 hours (and that is already taking away time because sam´s ads are already good moments). that means that on average an actual "best of sam" compilation that is up to date, taking into account all the episodes would probably be around 45 hours long (and that is if we dont take any oneshot or not campaign related episode and if we dont take the ads)

The fact that scanlan remembered Percy's parents but didn't interrupt him or try and win the argument but let him vent and leave showed how real the emotions were

@DevilWearsAdidas Ай бұрын

Man the range on this guy for the performance he can put on is stellar and just a marvel. I cannot believe he can make dick jokes and do funny bits about killing some manticore child, then turn it around and drop this performance of a speech on the spot, then have this emotional of a performance about something that was clearly bothering him a little bit about Scanman's lament. I seriously can't comprehend his ability. The very next episode, too, he was back with the goofiest dnd character I've seen in a bit, some dude with a journalist robot lmfao. I'll say it a million times, Sam is just an S tier performer.

I'm interested to see how they translate the 9th level spell slot over into the animation. Maybe it will be as simple as just Scanlan finding a special item that grants him a Wish and he has to use it on Vecna instead of Vax.

@TheeSweetboy 2 ай бұрын

Yeah. That definetly seems like a likely candiate. Maybe one of the Vestiges gives him the Power to do it?

@jenk4545 2 ай бұрын

They've already established magic as a finite resource, it would be pretty easy for Scanlan to just run out of magic and not be able to stop the Raven Queen from taking Vax.

I don't like Scanlan as much as a lot of other people do. But the fact that it was his first DnD character ( he kinda made as a joke) that eventually got a slow clap from a DnD vet like Joe Manganiello and the multiple times he has wowed the rest of the cast, is sort of a testament to Sam's genius.

been watching critical role for 3 years now. just finished campaign 1, and I've finally, finally understood Sam's moment with Liam and the 9th level counterspell. I've never seen Sam cry like that. It both warms and breaks my heart to see him feel so hard for these little guys, these little characters they invented, Scanlan and Vax, that have become larger than life.

@Boulderfxx 2 ай бұрын

He was going to use his 9th level spell slot for wish to try and save Vax from the Raven Queen. He ended up using for the counter spell and without a Long rest after the fight the Raven Queen takes Vax away.
