    Hey everyone, I know this video is pretty far out from The Elder Scrolls and Bethesda games as a whole. This is one of my favourite story games and I really wanted to make a video about it! Ideally, long form, complete videos is where this channel is headed (along with regular TES content of course) so I hope you enjoy this one.

      Very cool! It always scary venturing outside familiar turf.
      Here's to exploring new things. I'll be here if you decide to expand the boundaries of the channel's coverage.

      i immediately clicked on this BECAUSE of the fact i knew you usually did elder scrolls stuff. This is a welcome surprise

      I mean what is a bard if not a sharer of stories? Don't worry, it was a good video and I'm sure people will enjoy hearing the story.

    This game is near and dear to my heart. Even did a school assignment with it back in the day when it just came out in my final year of high school. Amazing to see you covering it.
    If I can do a request: Do Papers Please next, or RiMe
    Both good games with stories to explain and analyse (Also happen to be the other games I used for that assignment)

    • @drewgoin8849
      @drewgoin8849 3 дня назад +2

      "Papers Please" is a ripe one for creative narration.
      I'm not familiar with "RiMe".

    • @ABardsBallad
      @ABardsBallad  3 дня назад +2

      That’s awesome that you also love this game my friend! Such a beautiful story! I’d definitely be down to look into the other 2! Papers please was fantastic!

    This game, Gone Home, and What Remains of Edith Finch all have the stories, music, and gameplay of “walking sims.” Yet they all do things their own way. And they are masters at them. Love them and seeing you branch out.

    • @Zeta13
      @Zeta13 3 дня назад +3

      The list just made me think of what a retelling of the story of The Painscreek Killings could be like! That'd be one to add to the list as well, for sure.

    • @ABardsBallad
      @ABardsBallad  3 дня назад +2

      I really appreciate the support! :) I’ll definitely have to look into those other games, I’ve played WRoEF and it was amazing! I’ll have to cover it sooner than later!

    Bard I think you've found your style and refined it so well you are able to provide a narrative for anything at this point. I did not expect an upload about one of my favorite games of all time, but I am so pleasantly surprised. Although I found you and subscribed for your Elder Scrolls lore content, I will be here for all of it!

  • @ChrisCarswell
    @ChrisCarswell 3 дня назад +2

    I can't tell you how excited I am to see you branching out to other titles! Especially this one. I really appreciate all the effort and care you put into your content, it’s always rewarding to experience. Very excited to see where this new era for the channel takes you my friend!

      @ABardsBallad  2 дня назад +1

  • @The56567878
    @The56567878 3 дня назад +2

    Awesome! I only played it once, but I really liked it! I believe it was written by the lead writer of the first season of Telltale's Walking Dead game.
    I'm looking forward to more videos outside of Elder Scrolls. I found you because of oblivion, but I stuck around because I loved your narration!
    Since you like this game, I recommend a game called What Remains of Edith Finch. It's also very narrative focused, and it's one of my personal favorites. Might even make for a good video!

    • @ABardsBallad
      @ABardsBallad  3 дня назад +2

      I’m really glad to hear you liked this one my friend! :) I appreciate you sticking around for the videos outside of the elder scrolls!! WRoEF is an awesome game! I’d definitely love to make a video on it too!

    I've heard of this game, but I've never actually seen this whole story. This was very interesting to watch and listen to. I like the change of pace in this video to something other than a Bethesda game, even if I am usually interested in that content. Great vid overall. 😊

    Woah! It's crazy that you just released this as I had JUST gone down a Firewatch rabbit hole! Perfect timing for a lovely Bard video. I was hoping for some more morrowind content (or a bard's sleep video), but this was a more than pleasant surprise!

    • @ABardsBallad
      @ABardsBallad  3 дня назад

  • @MichealGrimsun
    @MichealGrimsun 2 дня назад

    While this is a change from your usual Bethesda/Elder Scrolls content, I really think that this was a good video. I never got the chance yo play FireWatch, and getting this really nice portrayal of the story was good for me. Its such a somber story, but you can feel the hope that resonates throughout the whole thing.

    I looked up the voice actors after this, and delilah's voice actress actually plays Andreja in Starfield, so I guess this game actually does have a bethesda connection in a way!

      @@ABardsBallad As someone who grew up playing Oblivion first like yourself, I highly recommend these games, as they give you a lot of opportunities for roleplay, choices, explorations, and trying out different builds.

    Great choice, I played it when it came out years ago. Loved the story, the suspense is intense and the atmosphere can be very heavy and dark at times.

    Okay im at 1:01:45. This whole video i have been suspicious that Henry is actually schizophrenic or something and he is the "person that has been watching them" gonna edit the comment when i reach the end.
    Edit: I was wrong but damn I am glad. That ending was amazing.

    • @ABardsBallad

    • @ABardsBallad
      @ABardsBallad  2 дня назад

      I have those same questions! In my opinion, to answer the second one, they were previous lookouts and their notes were mainly meant to show the player that most of the lookouts who are out here are trying to escape something. As for the first question, I thiiiiiink maybe if Henry had kept the radio, him and Delilah would’ve figured out it was Ned somehow (maybe?) and then for the third question, I have noooo clue 😂
