I as a Souls vet genuinely do not understand how people call this game bad or mid, it has such a vibrant and tasteful atmosphere and lore, the gameplay and unique twist on the souls like genre literally sucked me in and I can’t lie I love it !
Most of it came from the game being so demanding on people's PCs. Which led to a lot of people calling the game trash along with the reputation the 1st game a lot of people haven't played it or tried looking into it since they've already heard so many people say uts trash
@BigBroKuma both games are good this game is great first one is good. Why people just follow what others say is crazy to me. Same thing happened with mass effect Andromeda yes when it came out it was buggy facial expressions were weird but after some patches game wasn't bad at all. Why it gets so much hate the combat is way better then mass effect 3. I love the original trilogy very much. But don't mean I have to hate that game people are just weird
Lords of the fallen has been a perfect distraction waiting for the elden ring dlc and your videos on it have definitely helped me fall in love with the setting.
I think it'd be super fun to either play in, or run a D&D campaign set in this world, using your videos as the essential lore-Bible for it. Yeah, fuck it, I'm gonna do it.
Huge video, thank you a lot! Orius church gives me such a wh40k vibes, especially dark crusaders remind radical branch of inquisition, when any means necessary to beat the enemy, even their own heretical tools. Also really glad to hear about DC and their ranks, it clarified the trailer. Hopefully there will be a sequel about the order involved or other two judges. Thanks again!
God I love this game! Especially learning the story through the umbral scouring and how tragic the king of mournstead and his family's fate, truly a prepare to cry video
I always thought our death in the light of orius was actually our "reward" so to speak. Instead of being doomed to be consumed by the lamp, we are instead given a permanent death, to eternally rest within orius' light.
The lampbearer can part with the lamp willingly at any time as Isaac and Hannelore did, and the theme that plays when that happens is titled 'Wrath of Orius' so he just really loathes you rather than it being a reward.
@@Sometuy11ANeither of those characters got to the same point as us though, who’s to say our character would be able to part with the lamp after everything.
@@hatefulgaming1800 Possible, but until we get instances of lampbearers who were willing and tried to part with the umbral lamp but failed (or even an implication of that), that is the default position and the one with least assumptions. Additionally, the OST that plays, as I mentioned, is called 'Wrath of Orius', quite an odd choice of name if the intention of the scene accompanying it was to show (or imply) the God being pleased with the Lampbearer and rewarding them.
Due to your videos and my obsession with world building and lore (I blame elden ring) I started playing this and almost done! I will admit I’m glad I saw your videos before going in felt like I understood the world a bit. Keep up the good work and definitely worthy of a sub
So glad to hear it and thanks for the support! Yes, though FromSoft seems to have set a very high bar and expectation, I feel LotF really did well in worldbuilding, aesthetic, and lore. A shame it's early criticism turned many people away
Many thanks! Edit: Now that I'm through the entire video, I have to say this has exceeded my expectations. That is some next-level dedication to lore research. I want to add the item description of the Devoth rune that might link the church of Orius to the events of the first game and Antanas. "One of the Church of Orian Radiance's secret projects of the past was an attempt to use radiant sorcery not to heal a person's physical wounds or afflictions but rather to purge the very aspects of their soul deemed sinful."
Glad you enjoyed and appreciate the input! Yes, there's another item in Bramis castle that references one of the towers in the original game too (can't recall what it is off the top of my head though) definitely a world with rich lore
@@TheLorebrarians I find it one of the most interesting and rewarding worlds to learn about; Hexworks outdid themselves with the story; they had a rocky launch for sure, and there are still some technical problems for a lot of people, but it was my personal GOTY. I hope for some sort of confirmation about the creation of the world, though. The people of Udirangr attribute it to the first of the beasts (the shield of the first of the beasts), Orism to Orius, and Adyr and his followers to the demon God. looking forward to the Adyr video!
The lore from one of the recently added tinicts it is side that a fortress of the Dark Crusaders during there campaign in Udrangyr was found abandoned with no trace of its garrison. The crusaders then abandoned the crusade.
I really want a DLC that focuses on Orius and his church that sent the Dark Crusaders to Mournstead. Adyr is/was extremely interesting(even if his boss fight failed mechanically and aesthetically imo), but I was really hoping to learn more or even see Orius in-game.
Not only that, but Orius' military is cracked asf and the only reason why it didn't roll over Mournstead was because a sizable portion of it are technically also aligned with Judge Cleric's sect. The military hierarchy described in the Neophyte, Purger, Vanguard, and Ravager armor sets portray an army way scarier than the Rhogar could ever hope to be.
Something I want to know is the Guardians. The Abiding Defenders that stand with Jacob, wielding Ravager Greatswords. While the Abiding Defenders are all female, the Imperator Guardians sound all male.

fr, i absolutely love this game

It's amazing until stability issues come into play and ruin gameplay other than that its still an amazing experience
Yeah, game is awesome!
Lords of the fallen has been a perfect distraction waiting for the elden ring dlc and your videos on it have definitely helped me fall in love with the setting.
Appreciate it, hopefully not too much longer to wait
Thx for these high quality lore dives on this underrated piece of art. Hoping for a sequel!
Glad you enjoyed! Yes, I'd love to see more of the world beyond Mournstead
Check out Ziostorm's new video! He makes good content and has a new video about a possible sequel, Death of the Fallen.
I think it'd be super fun to either play in, or run a D&D campaign set in this world, using your videos as the essential lore-Bible for it.
Yeah, fuck it, I'm gonna do it.
How's it working out?
I want to do that too

Beautiful! The prelate on the throne is actually First Luminary Casilium, not the Dark Crusader Imperator.

Thank you for doing this game’s lore justice
The lore from one of the recently added tinicts it is side that a fortress of the Dark Crusaders during there campaign in Udrangyr was found abandoned with no trace of its garrison. The crusaders then abandoned the crusade.
Great video, Dark Crusaders are very cool, also i hope we will see more of Orious.
Glad you enjoyed. Yes, I hope future expansions/games will show more of the lands beyond Mournstead and other forces that be
i rly hope that the sequel that is in the works expands the lore a lot, the theme of LOTF is so good
Amazing video! You did your thing with this one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man these videos just keep getting better by every new Addition.. Awesome work!
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed!
Better be a DLC!!!! Lord is deep and layout is absolutely stunning!!!!

@@joshuakim5240Not even counting they have literally bitches who just respawn after being defeated IF they are defeated.
You should find some lore on knights of adyr
Kinda interesting to see how many overlapping concepts LotF and Elden Ring have.
I really would love to know the people that came up with this lore. It’s so good. Way better than Elden ring in my opinion
Another amazing video!
Once again a great video. So happy I found your channel
Appreciate it, so glad you did as well. Hope to continue to make content you enjoy
Just curious. First time coming across this. Where did the idea for Orius come from?
"We live in the dark so that you may die in the light."
The Dark Crusaders are so FUCKING SICK!!!
One of the best clases in all soulslike games.
Awesome video, thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Something I want to know is the Guardians. The Abiding Defenders that stand with Jacob, wielding Ravager Greatswords. While the Abiding Defenders are all female, the Imperator Guardians sound all male.
Thank you 💯
another cool video of lore of this cool game
Glad you enjoyed!
geez man you are just awesome!!! xDDD
