I'm just so excited to see so much lore and character archs grow the last few episodes. If it wraps up fast I'm okay with that. Just more dnd to look forward to with all new characters for campaign 4!!!
I wouldn't mind Sam leaving Veth and Luke out and doing something else. Maybe playing Wulf or Astrid (imagine the whole ex and current SO dynamic if Essek shows up)
If this is going to be 2 one shots, one each of Vox Machina, and Mighty Nein, at the same time Bells Hells taking on Ludinus… I wish to quote Vegeta from DBZ Abridged. “Never in my life have I wanted something so much and never known until I received it”
@@ZodiacBandit ohhh i see! i hope we get at least 2 episodes w VM and M9 to extend the campaign a bit and have more time w those characters! kinda like a crown keepers situation
@@alexandermagee3288 I was thinking this same thing the odds Matt goes harder here then ever before I are very high I would make a predictions video about it but honestly it’s hard to predict something like this with the enemy being so unknown
I reckon the three battles play out and then the remaining party members from each group (some may die, some may just be tapped out or gravely injured) team up to fight Lilliana or some sort of battle with either Prodothos; or either the Prime deities or the Betrayers. And then at the end of it all, they have to fight Spurt, Viktor, and Kiree - the true puppet masters behind everything that has transpired.
I was thinking Gilmore for Robbie as well tbh. Liam could also play the kod that emulated Vax and joined Ripley's crew. Can't remember their name or if they lived though.
@@ZodiacBandit I’m pretty sure there was a throwaway comment very early on in C3 but I don’t recall if it was something Ashton said, or maybe something from Taliesin in a 4SD… but there was an indication that Ashton knew about The OwlBear and was either a fan or disbeliever…
Sounds amazing but also makes it seems like the 4th campaign is going to be in some other world and/or system since this is kind of a finale for all three campaigns.
I do agree I think we're getting maybe 20+ more episodes give or take ? I wish it was 30+ to end everything and maybe take a few post or end game side trips ? Ok if we're getting a 3 Prong Party Battles , I hope we get all 3 but each Party gets 2 episodes A Pre fight just checking in prep full out some story between Parties ect. Then the battle episode w/ Stakes of characters maybe dying ? I also want more characters to obtain Relics maybe going to a few characters not everyone ? Or same Party ? Example Orym just got a Relic maybe Breas or ( Imogen The Matrine was trying to speak to Imogen The Crows at Grave ? But Imogen said F' that . ) Ashton wanted to confront a God I hope he gets a Relic. Jumping to Mighty 9 Luke Should get a Relic to even things up Yasha Jester Fjord Cad all serve. And Opal and some of The Crown Keepers serve and Deyna and Prism serve so maybe they should return? I like Sam playing Luke and Darrington Liam playing Leia Tailesin playing Caduceus Robbie playing Molly and a Special Guest Character ? But yah I want Deyna Frieda Prism Opal or Deni$e Furiai and The Bunny to return maybe a small arc not directly connected to final battle but adjacent to Bell's maybe helping or get Intel / a Relic to them that could like 6 more episodes outside of The Party Battles?
There could be a chance for another group of which we might know a few characters... because I can't shake a feeling that Allura, Kima and Earthbreaker Groon used to be part of the same adventuring party... Also, about the endgame. What if Predathos is stopped but Ludinus isn't? That could remove the pressure of apocalypse while at the same time keep sthe stakes pretty high...
I want sam to play as verh, but if he doesn't i wouldn't wsnt him to play as luc sgain, it was fun for the one shot but i think it would just be the same thing all over again, veth still wouldn't want him to go, and should be keeping an eye on him considering what happened, so what if ot's sam that plays kingsley? I think he'd be an amazing kingsley. And what if robbie plays everyone's favorite hot elf boy?
@@ZodiacBandit yeah, i agree. i do expect sam to play Veth, and i think he 'should' (not that anyone can or should force him to do anything) cause it does feel like a grand finale. but if anyone would pull somehthing like that off, it would be sam.
I dont think there is 10 more episodes, imo its more like 30 ish...and here is why #spoilers: they want to speak with the gods and possible obtain more than one Relic of The Red Solstice. So that would definitely eat up a lot of time while the rest pf Exandria prepare the field. So what I think would happen is they will go do that and then try to use nana mori one more time (or a gods help) to go back in time and be prepared in less in-game time. Keep in mind they are 14th lvl against a creature who is possibly OVER 20th lvl so they need to find a way to stack things to their favor.
My theory is that they get that necklace on ludinus or one of the BBEGs near the dead Titan, get the BBEG to kill something, the necklace curse is activated and suddenly they have a re-animated titan fighting the BBEG with them.
@@Banquet42 too farfetched...the necklace was clearly not something that Matt had planned for them to obtain. 1. Laudna just found it in the floor and 2. Matt was hella unprepared to give the necklaces info, so either he came up with it on the spot, or the item was buried into the "quirky items they might find in Aeor" notes' list. So it's not like a mcguffin they need to use in order to defeat the opponent. At first I thought they might get to use it, but then considering that they are going to the moon to fight Ludi then I dont think they would be a lot of undead to fight with against him 🤣 unless its way later on the fight and they use the corpses of defeated reilorans and ruby vanguards (assuming they will be compelled to turn against him)
@@brendanreeves6785 idk I feel like it’s better to just keep the groups intact the mixing and matching would be cool but this way we don’t have to have like a interaction between characters that’s totally unnecessary and this way we don’t need to hear about them having to mix the best groups possible together just leaving the groups as is makes things simpler

Kinda makes me think they'll split the party as in two players will be their Vox Machina pcs, two will be Mighty Nein and two Bells Hells. I'd rule out Percy and Vex from VM for their age, Veth and Yasha from M9 cos they're family oriented now. I'm sure we'll see Jester and Artie tho!
Personally I would love to see all the previous adventures groups return (Vox, Nein, Bells, Brigade, Crown, and the guest's from previous campaigns). I just hope they send Vox Machina to the Weave Mind rather than the key. We already saw Might Nein fight a group of psychic collective which could control reality with their mind, in my opinion it doesn't land as much as Vox Machina. C3 has been connected to C1 far more than C2 - as the only real connection has been Ludinus, Caleb, and Beau. I want to see a final hurrah for the OG group, and for them to play a more important part role within the story. I mean Vox Machina is known as the Dragon Slayers, the ones who sealed a God, and received the blessings of the Gods by becoming their champions. Mighty Nein have done great things but they are nowhere near as infamous and renowned.

I do appreciate the callbacks and the cameos from previous campaigns but it's getting to be a bit much. C4 needs to be set far in the future in order to avoid all of this stuff. I think it needs to be pulled back a bit as well, both regarding the setup behind the scenes and the narrative campaign. We went from a powerful lich to an ancient corrupt city in the Astral Sea to breaking all of magic and literally going to the moon. It's starting to feel a bit "Hollywood" a la Michael Bay. It's too grand and bombastic. I think more of a regular old done-to-Earth C1-style campaign would be a good thing. I also feel as if they didn't really know what they wanted this campaign to be. I really hope C4 won't be as disjointed as C3. I didn't particularly enjoy the disruptions, derailments and bait-and-switches. They tried to cram way too much into this thing.
