I love the arc everyone goes through with this game where they start off wondering why everyone hates Haligan, spends time with him and understands the hate, and then are forced to watch every character fall into the same trap.
About time you got to this masterpiece. Hallogan perfectky encapsulates how adventure game protagonists are psychotic, but in this game it's just a part of his character. I'll have more to add when I come back to finish this later.
Limbo of the lost is almost the back bone of mandalore gamings reviews. He referances it and makes jokes based on it in almost all of his point and click adventure game reviews.
19:15 - I love how nobody at Scotland Yard likes Halligan, to the point where Chris just leaves him lying on the ground after drinking a possibly lethal dose of ethanol. Your co-workers actually don't care if you die.
I like to point out that either Halligan or Melanie could have been stabbed at the end to break the oath, but our hero Brent decided to just stab her instead of himself.
Not to mention he could've just....pricked his finger or something and probably gotten the same result. But nah, he went RIGHT to the stabbing in the gut as his first choice.
Cool to see you reacted to this. The fact that the main character is just ass backwards NUTS but played in a still mundane sort of way makes me really think the original developers were just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what stuck. Next one you should check out is his Limbo of the Lost video, that game is similar to this one.
10:33 Fallout 4 was notorious for that kind of bs where your character said things completely different than what you meant or what the chosen prompt implies.
Reminds me of "glass him" from The Wolf Among Us. Most people thought it was pouring the dude a drink. Turns out its smashing a glass over his head and ruining the scene entirely.
FO3 and NV show you the entirety of your response and can have as many responses and interactions as the devs wanted. And then FO4 comes along and it's hyper-simplified, restricted to 4 responses AT MOST and half of them are redundant (presumably because they were aping Mass Effect), and it only shows you part of the response at best. It was such a colossal downgrade in terms of dialogue.
also halligan is a member of druid circle so he got serstain to agree to terms then violated them himself but the head of the order is responsible for it
Yep, I love that fact, it’s so wacky, it circles back to being genius. If Melenia had gotten the promise, it would have just been Serstans word, but with Haligan being an ordained member of the Druids, wether he knew it or not, Serstan was bound by a magic Oath. Granted, I’d have liked it if Haligan got more magical abilities as the game progressed, allowing him to REALIZE this tidbit, rather than just Deus Ex Machina the whole thing, but here we are
Thx for reacting to Mandy’s magnum opius. You should watch the stream highlights of his Mystery VoD in your spare time. He and his friend play this game for the very first time while getting heavily drunk. The amount of time they spent trying to figure out the salt thing is the stuff of legends.
Yes as many already said: there are other videos like that from Mandalore and i welcome you to take a look at them, BUT i also need to make you aware, that especially those videos have a certain magic on them. You can rewatch them multiple times and still find new details you missed before. it's like your brain needs to understad the whole thing piece by piece to not go bonkers.
Lost of the limbo is one of these game you need to see to believe. I think it take 10 years to come out or more and this is the least strange things about the game.
To explain why Halligan didn't try to find the person who robbed his cabin, the boat had just come into port and the thief would've already left the boat before he could find them. As for the salt and the castle, I head people say that the druids placed a curse on the lord so that any building he resided in would topple over if salt was thrown at it. Even if the man was dead. So it wasn't that Halligan used magic, it was the curse still being in effect.
There is no "real order" i think. It has just become some sort of tradition , that the Halloween video will be a weird/obscure/ out there game. Like Mystery of the Druids or Limbo of the Lost, or RIng _ a game about the Nibelungen . Last year it was Cabela's Dangerous Hunts (which I can also recommend) Mandalore is a real treasure
For anyone who enjoys this, watch the vods of Mandy's run in this game and the others he's streamed. You're missing out on some primo psychological horror.
1:09:47 He does, which is INSANE given _that Clifford Wells (Serstan and Lord Sinclair's VA) IS NOT Gelt's VA!_ Richard Ridings is Gelt's (and Vlad von Carstein's among many others) VA... He's also the voice of Daddy Pig in Peppa Pig... Weird connection but probably a source for some killer Cracks or YTPs if someone wants to lean into the connection.
I DO want to point out to you that you've seen that Lowry sitting meme way beforehand, not just around the web, but in your very first react video of Mandalore's 'Total Warhammer 2' review, so you could say that you've now come full circle now knowing this ( 25:08 in OG video or 28:05 in your Reaction)
Speaking of Druids and "Droods" I did left comment back in the days on Mandalore channel related to it, but it seems gone now. Could be RUclips finding something wrong in it and removing it. Anyway, from what I was thought on English Philology both pronunciations "Druid" and "Drood" are correct, with addition that "Drood" was considerer hyper correct but only when referring specifically to Celtic Druids. I might be wrong though. But it can still serve as explanation to how it ended up here.
The protest was against a lack of action against climate change. And the point is to draw attention to the issue, not to say that Stonehenge is somehow the cause.
That point was obvious. I simply disagree with destroying property to protest. I find it a horrible way to draw sympathy towards your cause. I'd say it actually has the opposite effect.
@@TheLegitWeebs I know the news response makes it seem like it was destroyed or something, but nah, they just threw some corn starch and orange dye at it. You could literally just wait for it to rain to clean it up.
Vandalizing the Stonehenge? Short of pushing and tumbling the rocks I don't know what you could do... Ancient Bri'ish "Architecture" vs Ancient Egyptian Architecture (while the bri'ish were cavemen, the egyptians were building stuff like the pyramids) The Bri'ish were hard carried by the Romans...
@@durema9720 or like... the pyramids aren't THAT impressive. It's quite literally a big pile of rocks. The most impressive part was getting it to sit in one shape for so long.
Stonehenge actually predates all the pyramids by nearly 500 years. Stonehenge began construction in 3100 BC, and the earliest Egyptian pyramid was built around 2670 BC. That's like comparing the Florence Cathedral to the Burj Khalifa. They were built half a millennia apart, in completely different cultures, for completely different purposes, and the only thing they really have in common is that they are both man-made. Besides, the ancient Brits were more about landscaping, they were really good at reshaping the land around them. They were building artificial islands about a thousand years before Egypt was building those big triangles. The British were no slouches when it came to buildings either, it's just that they were a lot more utilitarian in that department. Finally, the biggest difference, the ancient Brits were not a united people. They lived in very small communities. It took Egypt about 3,300 labourers to build one pyramid. Most settlements on the isles just didn't have the manpower for something on that scale, and even when a British settlement had a population that big, they didn't have the same resources that Egypt had. And even if they could, Egypt built pyramids explicitly to bury their pharaohs in. Britain didn't have kings of that scale until, like, Alfred the Great, so they didn't really have any use for ridiculously extravagant graves.
I think it's important to note that Mandalore was one of the first people to spread some massive misinformation about Vinny from Vinesauce that almost ruined his career.

1:12:30 the sheer levels of "I can fix him" from Melanie is absurd.
lol
no it's I've had worst and halligan at least only ever hit her while mindcontroled or when the world was at stake
@@TheLegitWeebs, I think this can have one of two outcomes: he "fixes" her, or she will be enlightened about Helligan as everybody knows him.

There's just something special about old point-and-click adventure games and always having absolutely unhinged protagonists.
Pitza is clearly the proper pronunciation for Pizza. We all have been pronunciating it wrong all our lives

1:02:00 Haligan showed his one act of Humanity in wanting to actually try and save Blake
Mystery of the Druids is an absolute acid trip of an adventure game and it's sad we don't get games like this anymore.
Halligan is my Spirit animal, also my grandfather called Pizza, Pitza, i assume it was a London Irish thing
