Hope you're doing okay, Noah. Having read your recent Patreon post, it's obvious you've been struggling very intensely with grief, trauma, and emotional exhaustion these past months. It is, as always, admirable how high a standard you place on your professional obligations - but please remember to show yourself the care and patience necessary to process and heal during such a difficult time. Many of us have been watching you for over a decade, and we understand by now that an incredible amount of time and effort goes into producing these essays at such quality and length. Maintaining your usual release schedule is a massive undertaking in and of itself. Your fans aren't going anywhere; we want you to get better, and we'll still be here on the other side of any rough terrain you and your intrepid VW have to travel. These these things take time. Take care of yourself, man.
@plaguedoctorjamespainshe6009 He's been struggling with a death in the family and an overall decline in mental health towards the end of last year. He made a post on his patreon, which is free to view, that goes into further detail.
Noah, I've seen your post about why you couldn't upload these last months. Just wanted to say you got my utmost support. Take it easy, as much you possibly can, we cannot pressure you into making videos. I so much prefer a yearly quality video than short but mediocre ones anyway. I'd be kinda surprised if this RUclips comment somehow helped you with anything, but whatever I just wanted to say that. May that sickness that we call depression never catches any of us ever again.
@ryankolbe365 hahaha no I just am a nerd of history, video games, lots of different music, longform essays, firearms, military culture with a specific focus on the actual grunts and betterment of the US treatment of them.. funny thing, the current DHS Secretary voted on a bill to slash benefits for Vets. And Our President, despite his charity culture war stuff, is also interested in slashing budgets for the VA. But yeah, I've read and studied a lot on the day to day realities of grunts across from the Napoleonic to the GWOT era--while I may not agree with the business of war, the men and women (well, not for long on the latter one..) who actually do the fighting and dying deserve all the attention, focus and compassion for what they put their bodies and minds toward; given I also have dealt with mental illness and chronic pain.. I emphasize greatly with improving the common soldier of all MOS. It doesn't make sense even non-combat roles get so messed up and bodies broken from just 5 years. They deserve better, even if I think the mil-industrial-complex is the problem of treating these people like trash. Not to mention the hierarchical BS of an entire upper echelon of Command that hasn't fought a proper war since Korea.. you can argue Vietnam but that was an asymmetrical conflict with periods of high tempo engagements and some proper battles but is honestly the impetus for the current issue of Division and up not having a clue and resorting to politcking and making the systems and culture to keep the old guard and those that fall in line to be promoted and retain power--a war like in Ukraine for example, where incompetence is punished severely and promotions and finding the true talent is forged in heartbreaking brutality.. but yes, I am everywhere with a lotta different interests 😄 should I take it as a compliment you thought I was a Senior NCO? hahaha I'm just a 29 year old dork who is fortunate enough to be independently wealthy from the tragedies between my wife and my families dying so soon early into our lives. Never been in the military. Haha
@@heavyartillery-qm5hu No singular dev deserved this. If you consider the woeful mismanagement of BioWare and allocation of its dev resources towards idiotic projects (turning Dragon Age into a GaaS product) to be irrelevant to the larger discussion of what happened to BioWare, you're already arguing in bad faith. No amount of "woke" or "anti-woke" retooling could have saved Veilguard.
@ Without woke writing the game would have done fine. It wouldn't have been purple, called the veilguard and it would have allowed you to do more evil decisions and there wouldn't have been characters like Traash.
With today's news that the last of Dragon Age's writing staff is gone (some of whom have been around since Origins) this is going to be a very bittersweet watch.... I recently started my first playthrough of the Baldur's Gate series, and I recognized so many names in the credits from Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Truly the end of an era.
@@heavyartillery-qm5hu As someone who just finished reading the books that is so funny lol I bet you don't even kiss the homies or profess your love for them 😤 FAKE FAN
Noah’s folksy intros, with the handwritten titles and the peculiar music choices, are endlessly charming. I dig Noah. His work is my favorite on RUclips. I was watching his Alan Wake/The Evil Within video essay when I got the notification for this. Hell yeah, this is going to be a good morning.
All the greats are being revised. I remember binging this one way back while being depressed and trying to live through university. Now I can listen to the new version being a new version of myself.
I know you talk a lot about worrying if people really like your work so I just want you to know that the SECOND my friend and I saw this video was up we texted each other so excitedly, you're really the best essayist on gaming and one of the best on the internet and we really treasure your work!
Noah, i want you to know, there is no one else on YT where i get HYPED and excited if i see a new upload in the same way as with your content. Your work is really special to many, please always remember this if shit sucks and you may feel down
Noah (@broadcaststsatic) you should record your whole day of your random everyday life noises and upload it for @JoshuaMartin992. We'll see then if he is a man true to his word 😅
@heavyartillery-qm5hu just treat it as the rest of the classics, play Origins like it is 2009 all over again and dont even think about the rest of the horse shit games, just enjoy the original for what it is
One quick quibble in the DA:O section: Harrowmont is *not* the reformer, Bhelen is. Even though Harrowmont is not a member of the royal family, he's the one pushing the hardest for the dwarves to remain dwarves, even if that means dying as dwarves. Bhelen is the one pushing for society to open up and rebuild, even as he is a much more ruthless person than Harrowmont's condescending decency. That's the central choice here: will you choose the better man, even if he will be the worse king? And what does that say about the choice between Branka and Cairidin?
In re: the Darkspawn Chronicles, it always felt to me like it's showing that the way Alistair will fumble the bag without you is by *getting bullied by Morrigan* into letting her lead the party. The implicit choices don't feel like the ones the Alistair presented in the game would have made, but they are the ones he would make if he romanced Morrigan and basically let her run the show.
happy to see you back at ‘em, noah. I know things have been hard, creatively and personally. I don’t know how much comfort it can bring past the scope of my own parasocialisms, but man, I’m just happy you’re here, sharing your thoughts. you matter. this matters. hope you’re doing ok.
I memory-holed Veilguard because how piss poor of a Dragon Age game it is storywise and actively avoided any discussion both defending and deriding it, but if it's from you knowing how thorough and in good faith you are, I'm willing to listen.
I don't think Mr. Caldwell-Gervais reads RUclips comments (probably the smart choice) but I appreciate that he puts out videos when he can. There's creators I really like who put out less than 1 video a year like Running Shine or HbomberGuy so really I feel like he's being generous to all of us that he tries so hard. There's been a few videos I haven't liked a lot (I prefer the videos about themes and story to gameplay focused ones), but there's a sincerity there that has to be respected. Not to mention that most of the videos are quite thoughtful, and he's got a delivery perfectly suited for those days when you're feeling down and someone contemplating something they have thoughts on is just want you need to get away from your own head. I also respect him for being public about his grieving. I hope he doesn't feel like he owed an explanation to people, but it's a topic people justifiably often want to avoid. It doesn't need to be a complete baring of the heart to strangers to be meaningful, to know that other people out there really do experience complicated grief. For all the heated comments from passionate fans that disagree or straight up trolls, I think more often than not the comment sections of these videos are better than most youtube videos and Mr. Gervais has a certain dignity that passes down to these dark depths below the video, I dunno. Anyways, I hope he can find some peace, knowing he's positively impacted people's day.
The discovery during my first play through of ser pounce a'lot and the abilities he grants as a pocket kitty has to be among my personal top 5 favorites in gaming.
You're one of my absolute favourite youtubers. At least 3 times a week, I usually put on one of your videos, which I have all watched several times over, to fall asleep to. Keep your head up, man ❤
noah, you're one of the best out there. all of you're bioware video essays are next level. very much looking forward to this, a series in my opinion that represents the highest highs of bioware and the tragically most terrible lows.
Noah’s essays are so powerful. They not only make me rethink how I feel about these games, but also genuinely make me reaccess certain aspects of my reality. Not only a gifted writer, but more importantly, a gifted thinker.
I saw your channel in my list of subscriptions literally yesterday and thought "huh, I haven't seen a video from him in a while. I wonder when he's going to upload again." I like to think that I willed this video into existence.
There is no doubt in my mind that this video will be an amazing watch, and I can't wait to sit through it. However, the recent developments from the series and Bioware have been really heartbreaking to witness as a long-time fan of the studio and the previous Dragon Age games, making this video very bittersweet in this moment.
Once again gleefully settling in to hear Noah talk for hours about a game series I've not played, and fully expecting to feel like a fan of the series once he's done
WOOO! New Noah! I'm so so excited. Don't beat yourself up about taking so long putting these together, the quality is always so good it's worth any amount of wait.
I clicked so fast, I know you've been having a hard year, but I'm always excited to see your name next to a video. Your work is an inspiration, keep at it :)
WAIT I'M ON TIME FOR ONE. I am so excited, I've been going through your backlog and holy shit it's some of the best review content I've ever seen. I'd kill for someone to cover other topics the way you cover vidya games.
Today, the writers for Veilguard were fired from BioWare. At this point, there is no one at the studio that was there before 2013. So sad to see both ME and DA fall so far.
Man, I can't wait to watch/listen to this video 3-6 times instead of sitting down and actually playing Dragon Age: Origins like I told myself I would the first time NCG released this retrospective.
I check for new Noah every single day. Always a celebration when we get a new video! Thank you very much for taking your time and making these essays worth waiting for!!
Noah’s channel is always such a joy. You go for months without anything and get an HBO limited series amount of content when he uploads. I’m excited to hear Noah’s thoughts, once again, on a series I’ve never played
So stoked every time I see a new post from you Noah. However long it takes, or whatever the topic, your videos are outstanding. Its a crime that you're under 1 million subs when you put out essays this phenomenal. I imagine youre most people's favorite game analyst's favorite game analyst id wager Always thorough. Thoughtful, unique, and genuine. Youre one of the best to ever do it, man. Genuinely appreciate you so so much. I don't keep great track of your updates on patreon and what not, but I hope you're doing well. You make so many of us, so happy.
I cannot express my unbridled joy every time I see you upload, but when I see a retrospective for a franchise I feel deeply for? Best day ever man. You’re a treat, and I am always happy to spend 6 hours and some change hearing your thoughts.
This could not have released at a better time! I'm not doing so great right now but I know these almost 7 hours are going to be an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Noah
The other day I was like "I wonder what Noah is up to?". Good answer!
I have notifications on and I still check often
SAME
i just started binging a few of his videos yesterday on a whim, funny how these things happen
Love the channel by the way!
