why the skin of the player is not human colored, and feels like clay? It's like the players are made of clay

Ha, I don't have a second monitor!

next update is a lore update i hear cant wait for you to make a vid on it

I believe the drifters are humans from before the plague who were transformed by contact with the rust world, having their skeletons replaced with metal and their skin replaced with flax cloth I believe the drifters hunt humans so that they may fill their flax sack bodies with flesh in an imitation of humanity, and once they pass a certain point they re-awaken as seraphim, strange, discolored imitations of humans one of the journals describes a seraph awakening underground in a horribly disfigured state and crawling their way to the surface

That last theory part is nice, but even the tapestrys in game are somewhat saying that seraphs are humans infused with prima materia, which makes them funky colored and have some special abilities like telekenisis and that

"better living, underground" VAULT TEC CALLING!

this is an amazingly edited video, especially for a first.

would love to see more lore videos, even reading the books etc, explaining the tapestrys, and an other written lore

lol the crabsquid noises

i find the drifters' in-game model frankly adorable. seeing their interpretation in the 'ghosts' story more realized in the 'intended' look of vintage story outside of the stylization of the game gave me a chuckle though. like oh theyre these kind of hulking worm guys. my current view of drifters is that they're automaton beings, corrupt in the same way the locusts and eidolons grew corrupted. (some have what look like bits of rebar and metal sticking out of them, they also drop gears, the flax skin and twine gives me the visualization of them being stitched together to hide mechanical insides).... surface drifters are just dirty little cloth boys to me LOL. especially since ol dave AND our mysterious new entity teased for 1.20 also look somewhat mechanical (that Thing also looks like it has rebar coming out of it) as for seraphs i feel pretty confident theyre reincarnated humans from the underground extinction era. the various class descriptions as well as their clothing seems to really heavily imply that, not to mention the voice in the resonance archives seeming 'familiar' to them. were they the intended result of falxs' machinations or a contingency plan, or a happy accident? that i'm not sure about, especially since humanity itself did not go extinct in spite of the rot. either way i headcanon my various seraphs as such, without much memory from that time aside from fleeting glimpses. it torments some of them, others decide their ignorance is a blessing in disguise and do not seek further knowledge. but those are just my little guys who live in my head while i play the game lol. <3

I absolutely love this game. It's minecraft but more rewarding. I actually feel attached to the things i build and have a sense of pride and accomplishment when i'm done building or smelting or anything in the game. Currently in a new playthrough i'm working on a castle. It's taking a long time to gather the resources while staying alive but man when it's done it will be so worth it.

jesus ive been playing this game for like 4 months now and had not really been going after collecting any of the lore items lmao. how horrifying! thanks! though now i suppose i get to think it's very funny how my little ha ha kobold seraph uses Rot as a fucking fertilizer and shoves it into jars and barrels.

My personal theory is that whoever / whatever brought the Seraph to the overworld, did so because they're going to essentially be a replacement for humanity. Like, eventually the few remaining humans will die out, and the seraph will inherit the...I was gonna say 'earth' but i'm fairly certain the world of vintage story isn't earth.

Expanded biew distance and look in temporal storm

I always thought the temporal stability meter was more of a Sanity meter. Why I think this? It only usually drains from PLAYER actions, like being hurt or being in areas that might unease the character due to the higher chance of temporal rifts, and even being near one too long makes it go down! Also, it goes down in the underground and (due to it being abundant underground) darkness. I mostly based the underground one on why I thought the temporal stability mechanic was basically a sanity meter, because Don't Starve.. eh...

Reminds me of Arx Fatalis. In which a medieval society retreats underground to escape the cold surface, after their sun disappears

but what about dave? yk the big giant walking thing we see when our stability gets to low or during a temporal storm

Is "the machine" sound effect from godzilla 2019 movie but distorted? It kinda reminds me of that. I also remember hearing the "Muto" sound effect in the Lore video.

Yes! I’ve waited too long!

new lore vid

Thanks for doing these lore videos.

Me and my black bronze pike have ended quite a bit of suffering, I have to say.

I LOVE LOREEEEE!!!!

what's the thing in the middle of the archives?

when 1.20 / 1.21 comes out i will be happy to see your videos on it.

im all for this, but i got no clue wtf this is very cool though :]

I'm surprised you didn't show the picture in "ghosts" which shows possibly an outdated drawing of Drifters. Basically they look like muscled people with a fleshy eldritch maw replacing their face. The story also states they smell vaguely metallic. The falx weapon has a description of their blood running like sludge and their flesh having metallic bits within it hence the need for a different type of blade. As for what I think the Drifters are? Failed proto Seraphs or just rot victims. I suspect the Seraphs are a form of artificial human or golem created through Prime Materia based upon the Scrolls I've seen. Have to go to work will fill out thoughts later if i remember.

4:25 The drifters are actually NOT the only beings from the rust world that are visible. Enter the rift in a flat area and have your view distance at 400+. You will see another being. (Weird you don't mention it considering you show in the video, but I thought I'd comment)

I hope beyond hope that we eventually get rot-beasts as enemies. The drifters are cool, but it feels a little bland only having one enemy (yes I know there's variations). I can just imagine the horror of a rotting monster chasing me through a dark forest.

I don't intend on buying Vintage Story (not just yet anyway) and I love these videos. I never heard of it until I saw your other video. You kinda got me invested

I remember reading the comment that inspired this. No time then to further think about it. What if ... there are only two sides of a coin. Yin and yang. One side is the world we as a seraph reenter and rediscover, after a catastrophy triggered by technology gone wrong. Metal things, rusted and rotten, taking over human bodies. Making strange things out of flesh, with a spark remaining, the longing for a heaven they cannot see anymore, without eyes to see, ears to hear, brains to understand. All rotten and rusted. There's only one thing left: wrath. Kill what we once were to kill the memory, kill the pain, kill the longing, the desperation. Not so far from some people's behaviour. This one story early on, the thing that crawls out of the darkness, the underground, with no limbs, after an age of agony. Who, what is that? A drifter? Something else? It enters a new world, full of life, sunshine, things long forgotten. Does not really sound like a drifter. Sounds like there was an aftermath to the cataclysm, where the world was dark. Where everybody hid below the surface, facing the rot rather than the world above. The apocalypse, radation, whatever. And then maybe one being, altered, but not dead, able to feel, to see, entered a new world. The world we as seraphs live in. Who is this being? Do we know it? Is it hiding somewhere? Will we meet it one day? Are we this thing? It's offspring? Are we a new generation, after the damage, free of the rot that changed everything and every body? Learning to live again in a world without this technology that went wrong? Back to the basics? Starting a new life, a new world, a new dream? Not from zero, but with the knowledge how to do things. And without the knowledge that lead to catastrophe. The knowledge of Faulx, whatever that was. There were goggles. Looking into the rust world. And change, so there were no goggles needed anymore. And the rust world taking over the ones who got too close. Who dug too deep. Who woke the Balrog. 😂

Somehow ... the drifters remind me of an entity called Rahtid. It's Jamaican and it means Wrath or Rot. There's a book that translates Rahtid as black rage. It's completely twisted, I don't think the meaning of this entity has anything to do with what the drifters are. But maybe ... Maybe Rahtid failed its purpose to stop the rot, to stop the world from contamination. Maybe the drifters are what is left after an ancient being stopped functioning and the beings it was supposed to exterminate took over. And now only they and this one last seraph are left. And Dave, the long necked one in the rust world.. And some traders. All the ways lead to the marketplace. It's a concession, we can't imagine a world without a marketplace. There has to be a marketplace. What if ... there is a rustworld. If there are drifters. We are the last seraph, destined to take the place of Rahtid to stop the rot. What if. 😎

Can confirm seeing the drifters occasionally hunching down and clutching or shaking their heads, looking at their arms suddenly and apparently becoming distressed, all very human movements. The traders also have a dialogue about them being lost souls, ones who strayed so far they can't or won't come back so they lash out in their misery. These being made out of flax (anagram of Falx really a coincidence?) and metal pieces could be a result of the 'cure' for the Rot that Falx seems to regret in his writings. A less probable but more fun theory was indirectly posed by Solstin in his Temporal Institute tutorial videos. By glitching into footage of drifter waves overtaking a Minecraft stronghold, the implication is that the Rot and the temporal instabilities actually happened to the Minecraft world (a kind of digital Atlantis), which could make sense with all the portals and dimension hopping (and tech/magic modding) that goes on there. It was just a brief hint, so I don't have this story fully fleshed out in my head, but I love the idea.

Can't wait for a lore video on Dave!

When the world needed him the most, he returned
