The fact that they were shocked that Vex and Vax's names were already taken was precious,. That was my first thought, "what will they wind up naming them?" lol
Laura: "Do you play first person or third person?" Liam: "First person." Laura: "You do???" Liam: "You see yourself running around?" Laura: "Yeeeeah! Like, what's the point of making them so hot if you're not gonna look at 'em?" Me: EXACTLY. Third person ftw.
An even better move would be a new non-mmo elder scrolls game. What is the use of an elder scroll game if I can't give the mudcraps lines from Matt doing the Victor voice?
The ending where Liam tells Laura to check her texts feels like two siblings who got together to hang out and got up to shenanigans, and then hours later were like "oh shit, our spouses!"
I love this simply because Liam voiced like half the random NPCs in the game xD when I first started playing, I felt like every other NPC I was like "oh, hey Liam."
Lol, somewhere out there are two critters who named their Characters Vex and Vax and they are probably watching this and feel guilty AF. Love the thought of that.
Well they said they’d be playing it throughout the year (don’t quote me on that tho), so likely when the other chapters come out (or whenever they feel like it) they’ll continue it
Running around un Guildwars 2 is quite often an exercise in "which Critical Role person am I talking to now then". So many Matts, Liams and Sams all over the place.
All the talk about who voices who, reminds of the quest in Fallout: New Vegas where a character voiced by Liam O'Brien asks you to go extort money from a character voiced by Liam O'Brien
See?? And it WASN'T a bug... They just didn't do what they needed to do (find Naryu on the overhang....) before the door would open... Similar to the "Questgiver not being at the arrow" bug (which wasn't a bug, either...) A majority of the "bugs" at launch were user error....
I genuinely adore Laura and Liam's dynamic so much, it would be intriguing to see the amount of hours they would spend on say a Blade and Soul character creation or even Black Desert Online lol, loving the part one to this already !
My DM for a side campaign, had all of us play as our ESO mains... it was absolute fun playing as my Human Nercomancer Tank... In the group we also had an Argonian Vampire Cleric (Don’t ask how, but it worked); a Khajiit Werewolf Assassin (yes, kitty turns into a puppy); a Storm Sorcerer (who was also always drunk); and an Orc Dragonknight (who was set up ability wise like a FF Dragoon)...
A year long series! Should be fun with these two. But they should keep Laura from the crown store :D I started playing last July, and still have yet to finish the last two chapters.
All hail the return of the most dystopian-titled show on the internet! Welcome Lex and, uh, Lax. Everything is Content. Here, you are free. Here, you are safe.
I watched the first fifteen minutes of this in April 2021, then as soon as they were finished with the character creator I went and bought ESO. It is now January 2022, I am nearly CP 1000 and have played through all of the zone quests up to and including Blackwood, and I have returned to this video steeped in game knowledge and ready to giggle. So worth the time. My husband and I have had so much fun playing the game all of these months. Also greatly enhanced my enjoyment of this video :) Onto the rest of the CR Blackwood content!!! (Also it was cool to see the Morrowind tutorial quest. We got the Greymoor tutorial instead. You get to meet Eoki this early on?? Cool!!!)
alright yall lets get our Critter ESO guild going Let's get this going y'all! discord.gg/kzuT2JNB Here's a link for a Discord for it, we need to figure out a name!
I would watch the twins host a cooking show. It can be set in various kitchens, even open-air campfire kitchens or the slayer's cake, whitestone castle, greyskull keep; anywhere is possible, really.
Do I have things to do in my life? Yes. Am I willing to give my free time to watch Laura and Liam goof around in a virtual fantasy world? Abso-fucking-lutely.
as a long time eso player i love seeing the game from a new player's perspective once more, and it only pains me a LITTLE bit to see them fumbling about not knowing what to do haha :D amazing new series, hoping for/looking forward to more episodes!!
I’m so glad this is a series. I didn’t know I needed this content and I desperately need more of it. I love these two are playing together as Vex and Vax. 🥰❤️🥰
Also almost all the the critical Role cast have at some point provided voiced for Elder Scrolls games so this is just reinforcing a conection between Elder Scrolls and Critical Role. how can this me anything other than TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!
![CRITICAL ROLE ANIMATIC - "Character Creation: VEX & VAX" [EverythingIsContent]](/img/1.gif)
Laura: **hears Travis' voice in passing**
Laura: huSBAND? MY LOVE? WHERE ARE YOU PLEASE DON'T LEAVE
In case anybody would like it 49:03
Liam hears himself at 49:40 as well lol
Laura: leveling skills
Liam: continuing the long standing tradition of Vax playing dress up with as many cloaks as possible
Liam: "No, that's not me."
It actually is LMAO
He still chose the voice pack lolol
Imagine having the ability to choose your own voice in character creation....and NOT USING IT. flex
@@damdamfino OH MY GOD I DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT THAT WAY
Nah he's Bosmer Male Voice G, and Breton Male Voice D!
Doesn't voice Altmers
@@yeahright3630 He does an Imperial as well, I forget which. I'd know Liam grunts anywhere, and my main has Liam grunts.
I cannot wait to see Lauras reaction when she figures out she can have a fighting bear by her side in a few levels
Can she also have a bear mount?
@@Laticia1990 yup
@@Laticia1990 yes, but its in the crown store. you can only buy horses for in game gold.
That would be almost breaking canon though. Imagine Trinket actually fighting ever :P
@@Laticia1990 in ESO you can also have a pet follower (that is just for show) and there are multiple bear cub options...
*Laura:* Buys Lexalia a non-combat bear.
*Me:* Yeah, that's accurate.
I love that Laura is just talking like herself, and Liam is totally doing Vax's voice at least 50% of the time.
Honestly I think it's both an actor and gamer thing. I'm both and when I play videogames I often talk to myself, but with the character's accent xD
I think she was trying here and there but excitement and figuring out mechanics was getting the best of her
@@AdeptN7 i noticed that’s what was happening with Liam too. Excitement took over.
The fact that they were shocked that Vex and Vax's names were already taken was precious,. That was my first thought, "what will they wind up naming them?" lol
I think they could have added apostrophes or spaces and got those names...
"We have disdain and cheekbones." That is the best description of Vex and Vax I ever heard. 😄
"I could tell by the bonestructure and the contempt"
"We have thousands of hours in these games and thats just in the character creator" I felt that in my soul
My favorite games are Hero Forge and D&D Beyond. The storylines are weak, but they have the coolest character creators. :p
@@cryofpaine absolutely. Its always interesting to see how your own story for your oc gets woven into the main quest line
Yeeeaahhh, that's what they said, but they seem to be baffled by the standard things of the game.
Yeah I feel that. I feel it often.
OMG right? I can legit spend *hours* making the just right character...
Laura: "Do you play first person or third person?"
Liam: "First person."
Laura: "You do???"
Liam: "You see yourself running around?"
Laura: "Yeeeeah! Like, what's the point of making them so hot if you're not gonna look at 'em?"
Me: EXACTLY. Third person ftw.
Single player 1st person, online 3rd person.
Single player is for the immersion.
First person when I'm exploring and want to be immersed, third person when I'm in towns and want to see my character talk to other people.
No for first person because vertigo
I agree with this on a fundamental level.
Isn't the fact that there's a choice a great problem to have??
Gotta say, getting a critical role sponsorship is the smartest PR move Bethesda has made in a while.
An even better move would be a new non-mmo elder scrolls game. What is the use of an elder scroll game if I can't give the mudcraps lines from Matt doing the Victor voice?
@@JCGver For real. All people have ever asked for was co-op.
strictly speaking since Bethesda is now formally owned by Microsoft....
Smarter move than Skyrim on the fridge? Or Alexa edition?
@@JCGver Is there a mod for Skyrim yet where you can make plants have the Henry Crabgrass voice?
The ending where Liam tells Laura to check her texts feels like two siblings who got together to hang out and got up to shenanigans, and then hours later were like "oh shit, our spouses!"
I love this simply because Liam voiced like half the random NPCs in the game xD when I first started playing, I felt like every other NPC I was like "oh, hey Liam."
Same, I say it every time lol
True... Liam was a "placeholder voice" at launch, until ZOS could hire more voice actors...
I got back into New Vegas recently and Liam is like half the NCR army, it's great.
I’m a daily ESO player, and I swear Liam and Travis voice like 50% of this game alone. I stop and nerd out everytime.
Taliesin is everywhere too! And he gets to show off his talented Crow voice anytime there’s a talking crow, which is more common than it sounds.
I didn’t know taliesen voiced crows! Amazing.
@@TheAngryCleric No, he just IS crows. A swarm of them in a rough approximation of human shape.
@@CreativeUsernameEh I didn't realize that was him but now I won't be able to miss it.
same, Thursday is normally the only day I don't play. I'm constantly hearing Liam and Travis.
Never thought I'd get so hype about hearing Laura and Liam use their Vex and Vax voices again, but here I am, smiling like a goofball.
100% agreed.
I just love how easily they slip in out of character
Right? I missed them so much!
7:20 "don't forget we have disdain and cheekbones"
guards: let them through!!!
“I could tell by the bone structure and the contempt” - Tary
Vax'ildan: dagger dagger dagger
Lax'ildan: sneak sneak sneak
This is great. Now we need Travis and Ashley playing a game as Grog and Pike.
If it's used then Trog and Aike X'D
Yes, Please!
This x1000000
I got bored and started trying to figure out what class/race combo in ESO fits each character. Downside is no short races in ESO
Make it a group of three and add Sam to have Samlan join the group. Then pair Talisen and Matt for Dercy De Polo and Filmore
According to my research, the wood-elf voice G is in fact Liam's voice.
I looked too, and apparently Taliesin and Travis are in the voice picker too. 😂
@@purpleinkwell I'm playing ESO today and I swear I heard Taliesin as one of the NPCs.
@@jessicazimmer8910 I did too, I think I could pick it out during this video on Liam's screen
@@jessicazimmer8910 Taliesin plays a lot of elves in the Morrowind DLC (Vvardenfel)
Lol, somewhere out there are two critters who named their Characters Vex and Vax and they are probably watching this and feel guilty AF.
Love the thought of that.
The surprise when their names are taken is adorable.
Other elder scrolls players currently called 'Vex'ahlia' and 'Vax'ildan': 👁👄👁
XD when the original players are just the seconds
Lol me with my Vex’ahlia, Keyleth, and Beau 👀👀
Krog and Manlan are gonna be gone real soon too lol. 27:24
Liam and Laura send them letters simply saying "We Know".
I think it's kinda weird that people would make a character that is someone else's dnd character, that's just cringe to me. To each their own.
When Laura finds out wardens can actually have a full grown bear at their side
I really hope they continue playing that
Well they said they’d be playing it throughout the year (don’t quote me on that tho), so likely when the other chapters come out (or whenever they feel like it) they’ll continue it
I remember talking to some random stable guy and thinking "That sounds like Liam O'Brien." I looked up the cast and sure enough, it was.
Every time I'm playing Battlefront 2 and Luke Skywalker shows up, I can't help but go: "Shit, it's Matthew Mercer! Run!"
Running around un Guildwars 2 is quite often an exercise in "which Critical Role person am I talking to now then". So many Matts, Liams and Sams all over the place.
Stable guy in Wayrest. My daily upgrade is a little visit to Mr O’Brien :)
@@michaeldeboer9940 i changed the languange from italian to english on for Honor just so that the male warden has Liam's voice
@@damdamfino I'm going to have to go visit him. Travis is like every other khajiit merchant so I hear him all the time. Lol
I absolutely love that Liam can recognize other VAs by the battle cries
I wouldn't be opposed to a series consisting of nothing but those two messing around at the character creator in various games.
I'd be down for a Liam & Laura version of Monster Factory.
Ditto.
@@brunocampos8640 Monster Factory but they make everyone SUPER HOT
Yo.
Laura and Liam messing around in Spore.
All the talk about who voices who, reminds of the quest in Fallout: New Vegas where a character voiced by Liam O'Brien asks you to go extort money from a character voiced by Liam O'Brien
20:38
Liam: You mean. This game. Lets you. Climb. *STAIRS?*
Laura: Shut up. 😂
Bethesda still haven't figured out how to let you climb a ladder though.
Liam is just listening to people grunt like “yeah I know who that is”
I died when they heard Travis' voice in the game lol
Time stamp?

@@gabizitaa Ohh! Haha makes sense! Thank you!
Love the Critical Role bit in the beginning when Laura is explaining why she didn't have time to play video games.
On brand that one of the major obstacles was a door they could not open

I once played ESO with a friend and he made a templar and I made a necromancer so we had the healer, and the late-to-the-party healer
Necromancer is so fun. I cannot tell you how much i had to spend on bounties because i accidentally used my abilities in towns
@@Lastedplace I don't really play World of Warcraft anymore but running around Cyrodiil with a Nord Necromancer definitely made for a fun rp as Arthas
Twins content = best content
Yeah, I do miss their pairing
Very true
So you're saying they should do Maw of Lorkhaj by themselves???
This is amazing! Just a tip, just like you added eachother as friends, hold F and choose "Invite to Party" to be in the same party.
Yeah i was thinking the same. But they were having a blast anyway. Im sure they will figure it out though
I was yelling at my tv for them to do this the entire stream
20:30 "...Oh a tiger? You found him? He's grrrrrea... oh wait, I can go up stairs?"
That character sounded like Travis, did you notice?
"Give us the gate key!"
"I have no gate key."
"Fizzik, rip his arms off!"
"Oh! You mean this gate key!"
always love a good princess bride reference
You're toying with me aren't you....
I just want you to think you're doing well...
I would L O V E the cast playing more video games!! I've been missing Travis Wilingham's Yeehaw Game Ranch and this really scratched that itch.
The Halloween episode where the thing fell down was amazing
49:33 Liam finding his own voice as a stranded slave lol
when ever they do video game stuff I love them going thru voices like "I know who that is, I know who that is, is that me."
"What's the point of making em so hot if your not gonna look at em", thank you Laura, speaker of truth.
The only bad thing about this is that it is so short! I just want hours upon hours of this! Hearing the twins again broke me.
The awesome part is that this is a year long campaign of content episodes! So we're going to get more. 🙏
When they logged out and were shocked at how long they’d been playing-Yeah, I’ve been there
"How long has I been here? Oh, is that the sun?"
Laura is such a gem
A.LWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
I love her! She's the perfect woman, so fun!
She's the only reason I watch Critical role
@@adirmugrabi Same

I don't think I've heard Laura's voice in the game, definately heard Liam. But most of all I've heard Travis, Taliesin, and Troy Baker.
I've never noticed Taliesin, I'm going to have to pay more attention. I hear Liam and Travis constantly.
@@Helicondrummer I feel like Liam and Travis collectively voice like 50% of the nameless NPCs lmao
@@Helicondrummer Just come across an example of Taliesin: Gargak in the Ghratwood quest "A Chief Concern". Probably able to look it up on RUclips.
@@Eleglas As many hours as I have in the game I haven't done a lot with the Alliance portion, maybe here there more than other places.
Gideon Emery does a lot of the dunmers. Liam's like half of all bosmer and breton men.
I genuinely adore Laura and Liam's dynamic so much, it would be intriguing to see the amount of hours they would spend on say a Blade and Soul character creation or even Black Desert Online lol, loving the part one to this already !
Kinda surprised it's not just Laura on Character creation screen the entire video
Head cannon she just spent LITERAL hours that they cut making Vex'alia just for this.
@@joehutchcraft1675 That is probably what actually happened. There's no way she took anything less than 1 hour.
When they switched into their Vex and Vax voices I kind of teared up---
When Liam stayed in Vax’s voice at 26:55, I felt a pang in my heart…:-(
My DM for a side campaign, had all of us play as our ESO mains... it was absolute fun playing as my Human Nercomancer Tank...

A year long series! Should be fun with these two. But they should keep Laura from the crown store :D
I started playing last July, and still have yet to finish the last two chapters.
Oh man if these two had the time I would absolutely watch a series of lets plays in ESO of them playing as "Lex and Lax" together
glad to know that the cast gets just as excited as i do when they hear eachother in games lmao
The crushing desire to steal everything vaguely cool looking is such a relatable thing
I would not mind if they played this weekly.
Honestly lol
Absolutely. 2 of my favorite things, CR and Elder Scrolls! I hope this is a long sponsorship
i think i read somewhere it's year long?
Yes that would rock!
100
All hail the return of the most dystopian-titled show on the internet! Welcome Lex and, uh, Lax.
Everything is Content. Here, you are free. Here, you are safe.
This totally needs to be a weekly show as well. Id sit and watch them stream this game.
"Don't forget; we have disdain and cheekbones."
I wish text could convey how much a balm this is for me right now. Thanks to the CritRole Crew for making this happen!
Don't think Critical Role had anything to do with it... Just Liam and Laura getting their nerd on, as Liam said in the beginning...
"Disdain and cheekbones" might be my favorite description of anything ever. xD
"I think that's Crog, maybe Manlan." LOLOLOLOLOL!

8:07 I think Liam actually did find himself but doubted it and ended up switching lol. Am I wrong?
As usual, doors are the bane of Lex and Lax's existence
you know, the fact vex and vax's destiny is so sad in the main campaign makes this one kinda special
What do we need to do to get this like...bi-weekly?
"aww my sexy outfit's gone... can i take this bowl?"
YEAR LONG SERIES oh man thank you guys so much this is so entertaining, wholesome and all in all very much needed.

As both a Critical role fan and a very regular ESO player this is AWESOMELY FANTASTIC
Liam started using the Vax voice all of a sudden and I legit dropped what I was holding. It was tea. I have some regrets.
Laura mentions Ronin sooo much its adorableeeee
I love that Liam is looking at the game mechanics, and than Laura comes and "oh look you can ..."
