- Hey you. come down here.
Expect more regular uploads from now on. Already well into a big project I'm really excited about...
Long wait for a pretty short video. Sorry for that.
I figured I'd double down on Vintage Story since my first video blew up. Thanks for the support and the comments.
I love to yap. And I love all my viewers.

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.
I don't trust the traders very much just cause they are pretty superstitious. They also have a weird belief about great arks which isn't mentioned anywhere else. They're dialogue is still very interesting whether or not it's reliable
I have seen some things like that but, sometimes I see the dudes who cant use their legs push up with their arms and then fall flat down on their belly and struggle to get up which is cool. I've also heard that they seem to bow to static translocators.
Damm this guy is great! I wish I could meet him!
I'm in your house dude

Can't wait for a lore video on Dave!
I can't wait for lore ON Dave... I don't think there's even one mention of him
@@Gigutriel sadly he might not even be dave
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
They need to make me chief of sales 📈
@@Gigutriel Dibs on being your terrible secretary
when 1.20 / 1.21 comes out i will be happy to see your videos on it.
new lore vid
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, good ear... I combined a few more in there to make the sound since I figured that section was more boring without it
Thanks for doing these lore videos.
Yes! I’ve waited too long!
Oh my god… he’s even playing Aindulmedir

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.
Great video! All the lore! Thank you for this!
More videos to come, vintage story and beyond...
I can’t wait to see all kinds of new content from you!!

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.
I definitely agree that prima materia and seraphim are linked, especially with how they use temporal gears which seem to be made of the stuff
You new lore video just dropped and it is a banger !
💣💥
but what about dave? yk the big giant walking thing we see when our stability gets to low or during a temporal storm
I did forget to talk about him, but there's not really any lore on Dave as far as I know, so it would've just been a mention anyway
@@Gigutriel thats fair fella i was more so thinking about the other creatures of the rust world :)
Me and my black bronze pike have ended quite a bit of suffering, I have to say.
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.
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...
epic video! nice script, would show this to a friend for sure.
Go right ahead!! I have more coming soon! Better scripts and better voiceovers to come as well
im all for this, but i got no clue wtf this is
very cool though :]
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. 😂
It was us... in our human hubris we woke the balrog 🤦♂️
@@Gigutriel We obviously did. But we don't want to see. We don't want to stop. We want our cars, our planes, our disneylands, our sugary drinks, our Soma. We want it forever.
We pollute the world with bright lights so we don't have to see and hear the groanes of the rotten in search of the things they lost. 🤣
They hide in the dark places, they don't bother us when everything is lit up properly. We are very successful in hiding the dark side of our culture from our own eyes. 😎
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)
Thats Dave. I did fail to mention him in the video but there's literally zero info on him other than him being named "thunderwarden" or something like that in the files. I think he's more like a god than a type of creature...
at least I hope there's only one
Good catch though 💯
