Can't wait to watch this!

Mornin! Nice day for fishin ain't it? Hu ha!

A beautiful day for fishing it is

Gentlemen... Bravo! 👏 👏

It sure is! You guys are the Monty Python of our generation - keep up the great work, and bring some much needed comedy to our lives.

Oh come on guys this was a funny ass comment more likes.

Up this comment

There was a probably a whole script ready where we'd learn about Baelin's backstory and who he is as a NPC, but Rowan just couldn't remember. :)

Hu Ha!

LOL It's not the words as much as how he delivered them.

Underrated comment!

Briliant

Nice

I wish they did the Mugger thing in that episode. But i guess it is too much work to make Rowan fight himself.

Ok at least 2 meter distance.

It WAS noticed.....lol

Took my brain 15 seconds to realize that haha.

Oh, its noticed....

Greg's epic adventure can be seen in short clips and glimpses in the Epic NPC Man series. Chronologically, Greg's story begins when Greg arrives during player character creation and then instructing the movement tutorial, after which the tutorial Greg torments the player with a microtransactions. Then the farmer Greg can be met again in front of his poor hut where he introduces the player to the magical world of Azerim and gives the player the first quest because Greg's sheep have run amok and since then Greg has been involved in many epic head and side quests and is more helpful than Baradur. In Skycraft, you can also meet the merchant Greg, who runs the local shop from time to time, and the tavern Greg, who runs the local tavern from time to time. I recommend watching the series.

@jankrynicky that one is so great and sad, I love it :-D poor Greg in the end, I mean POOOOOR Greg

he would be good in dnd

I'm thinking since it's set in an MMO, he is one of those unkillable NPC's.

@@spoilerguy7285 My current character is a Druid that fights with a fishing pole because of Baelin =)

He is just a mmo character with paid fisherman skin

Clearly the monkey king

I completely agree to this. I would too. I feel like one of those NPCs who can completely relate to this but cannot express it. I am not stupid, nor shy, nor uneducated, I can cry, I can be strong, but it's just when it comes to these "thengs" I just go bmggaaah, even though I feel it so deep in my heart and I have a million other things to say instead of bmggaaah!!!

@@enb6720 you know he was talking about the original comment right?

@@OneRichMofo yes I did, bad wording on my part

This is what happens when people really care about their work :)

I think indie's try something different, and once they become large, they stick to what works. Same applies to games.

Mornin nice for fishin aint it

At this point there really is nothing that separates these guys from any other production studio they have the means to employ people that are good at making films and videos. Wouldn't be surprised if they hired a fight choreographer for this. These guys are a lot like robot army. Except better because they're not aussies

Name me one film in the last years that has a better fight choreography (rewatched this one quite a few times now and honestly...no strange moves no things that stick out as making no sense in a real live,... and the fights look organic not like orchestrated dances like in many films the last decade).

You forgot to add B/P/E scores.

I like how you think

I think he's just an NPC marked essential, basically unkillable so will always come out on top

Awww I like that 🥰

Make it happen, also dragon was considered a fish in cat goes fishing, make it avaible on Bailin pcoket pls but greyed out

@@electronicfreak1111 High level monsters eh? Quest accepted!

@@markc4008 Yes! 1 For All and Epic NPC Man crossover would be freaking awesome!

An NPC that you just cannot kill because his part of the environment, like a roc. Invicible because never designed to fight or take any damage.

Baelin kinda reminds me of Aranhir in WoW who is just a shop owner in Dalaran and for some reason he has the highest hp in the entire game, more so than end game bosses 😂

Well I guess 1xp per fish is a lot of it is all you do

I would figure he is named after the lead programmers kid or dad and so is just straight up invulnerable.

I just thought he was essential, but I suppose that makes more sense.

That also explains his limited dialogue options!

Some NPC are marked as "essential". Baelin in marked as "critical".

I mean, considering Willow is able to fully understand Baelin, it means there is dialogue programed. Only the players hear the one dialogue line. So I buy into this theory

​@@christopherdavidson17 I had a slightly different theory that Willow's ability to understand him was a function of being a "quest" NPC. I notice in other skits that even when the adventurers are "silent" the NPCs can always interpret what they mean. So I figured it's just a function of being a "quest" NPC as opposed to regular NPCs like Greg who still only hear the one line.

@@olandir Greg literally loses his sheep every day and sends people on a quest to retrieve them. He also has a main quest line that escorts adventurers through the whole of the Honeywood area. He's both a quest giver and a quest NPC. And Greg is like the only one with a skit dedicated to going ape shit crazy on Baelin because he won't stop saying the same thing. It's more or less an "I am Groot" gag, with undertones of them being in the same situation, both being preprogrammed automatons who are trapped on their respective routes. It's at the point where the adventurer is about to kill her because she "dare not stray from the path" that Baelin makes a conscious decision to stray from his and take over the role of the reluctant protagonist. And it ends with him gaining the ability to chose his actions by what he sees as right and wrong without simply barreling down the same route everyday like a robot, oblivious to what is happening to those around him.

Yes, we do. Mornin'!

@@TheSLashera How much IS your boxer? 🤔

I agree with you on the fact that i also love him as an actor. Fine actor!

Can't wait for the theatrical release and the extended cut after that!

I love this whole group, but Rowen is definitely the most talented actor among them!

I am Groot

They are all awesome and talented People

They all are amazing actor's. Including all the "guest stars" they have had over the years. I'm convinced everyone from New Zealand is a naturally born actor.

Honestly i totaly understod everything that way, refreshing video really enjoyd it :)

Ever played WoW? They have Gamon in Orgrimar. Everyone used to one shot him, so thy buffed him, now he is a Org raid boss type NPC lol.

I mean theres a speedrun of an rpg game 'Two Worlds' where it only takes 2 mins from a fresh game to kill the final boss and finish the game. Cause the boss is in the starting area for some reason and you can make him aggro the npc villagers.

So how I understand this is: you recruited Baelin, added him to the group, added Willow to the group. Then you attacked Bealin, which deleted the group bond between you, but Willow and Baelin still were allies, so he stayed in the group. Then you attacked Willow and removed your group bond, but Baelin and Willow were still allies, so Baelin carried out the quest to it's completion... it all makes sense to me. It doesn't sound like a bug... but we should still remove the ability to recruit Baelin.

@@FunnCubes that's most certainly an exploit

@@FunnCubes Yeah - that was exactly how I saw it in my head. I had typed out half of it, but it made the comment less funny so I kept it short. It was just so amusing that I could imagine this being an actual bizzare bug in a complex game. "You can't RECRUIT npc in-town, so this wasn't an issue until the rescue quest was added to that zone, which meant Baelin's pathing now puts him "out of town" for about 30s" Part of what made this so enjoyable is that it keeps the underlying MMORPG mechanical framework, without feeling the need to point it out every time. Like, the villain/NPC dialog referencing "adventurer"... because why would they have a speech line for "Fisherman"? Subtle, but consistent. ::Chef's kiss::

hahahahah

My name is inigo montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die

coupled with good writing written by beautiful people.

When bodging creates a sentient being!

This is exactly how I imagined him getting his combat stats.

"These violent delights have violent ends"

Also the fishing rod item is unobtainable ingame, so they just copypasted the legendary sword of eating souls item and changed the sprite.

This is fucking canon now !!

Exactly The lines that made Baelin develop its character and personality. 4:40 "No, I'm just a fisherman" _This is also when Balein realises that he's more than an NPC_ 4:46 "What do i do?" 9:02 "Hello" 9:05 "Baelin the Fisherman" 9:20 "Me too" 10:26 "Well he's really a pain in the ass isn't he" 10:34 "Hu-hah, rare" 10:40 "This mission isn't that important to him" 10:45 "Is anything wrong?" 10:49 "Is anything wrong?" *Baelin realises that he cannot, in fact, communicate* 11:03 "Look I'm saying something now" 11:08 "Hello" 11:15 "Im Balein The Fisherman" 11:35 "Mornin! Nice day for fishing ain't it?" 13:30 "How about you not touch her" 15:30 "I can't" 16:14 "We need to go back to the adventurer" 16:23 "Fine" 18:02 "What?" 18:05 "We'd better get out of here." 18:30 "Hands off" 20:56 "You're awake" 21:10 "Of course" 21:21 "To get your strength back" 21:44 "What do you mean?" 21:50 "No, I'm locked to my path" 21:56 "Indeed" 22:08 "And how do you feel now?" 22:20 "Oh, all by yourself?" 22:28 "Really?" 22:52 "Why?" 22:57 "Don't judge a book by it's cover right?" 23:00 "Sure" 23:13 "Really" 23:46 "I understand" 23:53 "I hope you find your home" 24:35 "The princess of Wraith?" 26:49 "Hi! I think there's need of fishing here!" 27:52 "Willow!" 29:04 "Close" 30:09 "My pleasure" *_The rest is history._*

My favourite part of this is that Baelin basically followed the classic Hero's Journey. Status quo, call to adventure, refusal, discovery, point of no return.... all in just 30 minutes, and seven words (plus gaffaw). Nice.

But... The NPC with 3 voice lines IS the main protagonist!

This is a joke Edit: but on a serious note, it's quite hard to say the same line again and again with the correct emotions. Saying a line that you would normally say when you are angry will make it easier to make it sound angry and so on. So good job on his part for getting it right

We need Major Updates for the game so Bailen can speak another line!

Mornin'?

As a person that has done camera acting... the line is mostly irrelevant. The emotion... the right moment is usually what the director wants. If you f*ck up the line but nail the acting... sometimes the director just rolls with it. If you want proof go look at all of Groot in the MCU.
