    Wow! Warms my dang heart to wake up and see so many people enjoying this. It took around 30-40 hours to make and it’s amazing to have that effort appreciated. Consider sticking around! There’ll be more animations to come as well as a wide variety of other things. Thanks for watching and love you!

    One of the most hilarious things in this video is that the villager just starts crying without changing his mannerisms, without taking his hands out of his pockets - he just straight out openly starts sobbing. Nomal people would wipe their tears or nose occasionally, or do ANYTHING with their hands, but this guy seems so comfortable just standing there, crying. Not ashamed to truly express his sorrow.

    This legitimately happened to me in Oblivion. One of the Fighters Guild quests ask you to exterminate rats in an old ladies basement. So I found the entrance to the house, went right to the basement and promptly slew the rats, only to discover you were supposed to talk to the owner of the house first… she was not pleased that I murdered her precious pets.

      I have just started Oblivion! I have literally left the first dungeon, killing rats and goblin types! I have saved just after leaving it to be in the main world for the first time!
      And now this video pops up! I'm now having flashbacks of rats being slaughtered in that dungeon.
      And now THIS!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? this game is going to put me in the funny farm quicker than you can say "a messenger passes by and hands you a note"!!!

    • @macaryl95
      @macaryl95 7 месяцев назад +16

      No, this did not happen to you. I am actually replaying Oblivion right now, and I just finished this quest a few days ago. At no point are you told to eliminate the rats. It is called "a rat problem" and meant to be ironic. The woman even tells you to save her babies. Not only do you lack reading comprehension, a basic requirement to play this game...you also failed to notice the rats don't attack on sight like every other enemy. You didn't even mention the mountain lion eating them. The situation, once you come upon it, is extremely obvious.

    • @kamenawatamin1663
      @kamenawatamin1663 7 месяцев назад

      ​@@macaryl95 You must be a real blast in social settings... My buddies and I were kids playing this game years ago... we broke in and killed the rats and the mountain lion and it was hilarious when we realized we did it all wrong. So yes, it did happen to me. Go touch some grass and unwind your underwear from the knot you've got it bunched up in over a RUclips comment and quit being so pretentious, demeaning and self righteous about a video game from 2006.

      @@CJamgochian I am almost certain that they might've used *EBsynth,* at least that's what it looks like to me. The little artifacts prolly wouldn't exist in that form if it was rotoscoped.
      It's a really damn cool program that uses AI to grasp an artstyle that you define, by editing 1 or multiple reference frames of the video with photoshop for example. The program then proceeds to apply that same artstyle to the rest of the frames of the video, taking depth and complicated factors into account to a degree that it's super impressive, for freeware that's relatively accessible.
      Can only recommend to look EBsynth up, it's really fascinating and there's alot of cool stuff to be found on the internet, that involved EBsynth.
