2368s	it so uh we invited you of course to
2371s	play with the band because uh we are
2373s	presenting the bar today yeah finally
2375s	finally yeah finally we have a bard in
2377s	the game yeah jesus it's gone what six
2380s	years seven years six seven years so for
2383s	those that don't know we uh had a game
2386s	before that was called vinnie original
2387s	sin two and in it we had a kickstarter
2390s	and in that kickstarter at one moment
2391s	during an update there was a vote and so
2393s	david wanted the barden
2395s	and i wanted the really cool stuff which
2396s	was the polymorph class and so but i i
2399s	had such cool spells made up like piano
2402s	of pain and
2404s	ale seriously
2406s	i don't know
2407s	anyway
2408s	nick today is going to take us through
2411s	uh some of the gameplay uh you have a
2413s	presentation prepared for us yeah i'm
2414s	going to be looking at all of the bart
2415s	features we have a whole bunch of movies
2417s	to show you also with really cool stuff
2419s	uh so i suggest we get started maybe we
2421s	should start
2422s	well since we just saw the bart maybe we
2424s	should introduce the bart let's start
2425s	with the bard in the room
2427s	uh
2428s	which is the new class is available in
2430s	patch 8. all right
2433s	here's how it looks so bart is a caster
2436s	and they use a lot of control spells and
2439s	they deal a lot of psychic damage like
2441s	this one for example vicious mockery
2444s	um it allows you to insult somebody
2446s	and you will actually hear an insult we
2448s	have 97 insults 97 of them 97 that's
2451s	recorded for every single player voice
2452s	of course oh yeah so what do you do when
2454s	you insult people in the game like does
2456s	it really bring a benefit to insult them
2458s	it it hurts them
2460s	psychically personal psychic and a
2462s	psychic right okay so i think we have a
2464s	couple of uh insults lined up can we
2465s	hear a few insults just to see how
2467s	insults sound
2469s	you've a visage fit for letter writing
2472s	okay
2473s	all right any anything else
2476s	behold
2477s	a most noisy cuck
2479s	those are actually some of the nicer
2481s	installed actually that i have in there
2483s	okay i just uh i read one which was uh
2485s	your body is more toilet than temple ah
2488s	okay well thank you funnier yeah
2491s	yeah you got it oh it wasn't anything
2493s	personal i was just like
2495s	so we got uh insults uh and a bart what
2498s	else do we have yeah
2500s	uh so a bard has a starting instrument
2502s	you can pick uh
2504s	start an instrument that you can see
2506s	between a drum
2508s	a flute yeah a lute
2511s	a liar or a violin
2514s	all right so do these instruments do
2516s	anything
2517s	is there any use to them oh yeah so bard
2519s	will use them as part of their spell
2521s	casting uh but also you'll be able to
2523s	perform uh to the characters in the game
2526s	okay i mean that has benefits and it's
2527s	oh yeah which we'll see we'll show it so
2529s	we'll let chat decide which instrument
2531s	you're gonna pick uh in a minute but
2533s	there's some more strings that we can
2534s	show here right so tell us a little bit
2536s	more about the bart right uh so uh one
2539s	of the classic things that bart can do
2541s	is inspire allies so bargaining
2542s	inspiration is something that we'll show
2545s	as well it's uh
2546s	a way to give an ally a bonus on
2549s	whatever d20 role they're going to be
2550s	doing all right so bardic inspiration
2552s	the signature
2554s	action basically of the bart you could
2555s	say all right so bars are not the only
2558s	one only thing that we're showing today
2560s	oh yeah there's more stuff in character
2562s	creation that is new um and that one is
2566s	a race yes we are launching the gnome
2569s	race which inadvertently had leaked
2571s	by a person who couldn't shut up
2573s	previously
2574s	but is now finally in the game and so
2577s	can you take us through it yeah so this
2579s	here is a forest now
2581s	uh they have dark vision and they can
2584s	talk to animals just natively yeah and
2586s	like all gnomes are very cunning so they
2588s	have advantage on saving throws of
2591s	mental abilities okay it's very hard to
2594s	to charm or frighten them okay cool i
2596s	see they have their intelligence plus
2598s	too also oh yeah they're very smart
2600s	pretty smart pretty smart cookies okay
2602s	cool uh we also have deep nose that come
2604s	from underdark yeah and being from
2607s	underdog they have superior dark vision
2609s	and they're good at sneaking at stealth
2611s	tracks
2612s	through stone camouflage all right i
2614s	like those and we also have the rock
2616s	gnomes the tinkers among them that have
2619s	artificer's lore which doubles their
2622s	proficiency bonus in history
2624s	or you could say that they have
2625s	expertise in history expertise is new
2627s	right so we didn't have that before yeah
2630s	yeah that's something new yeah that's a
2631s	bart feature um that we made for the
2633s	bart but it's also available for other
2636s	classes so
2638s	yeah robes will also have expertise
2641s	who are wanting to have expertise in
2643s	there all right excellent so uh
2646s	bart looking cool there was a thing you
2648s	told me as we were trying this out
2650s	before uh about rock gnomes that need no
2652s	didn't know because oh yeah who would
2653s	play a rock gnome anyway
2656s	and so we will today
2660s	uh yeah rock gnomes are tinkers and uh
2663s	uh something small that they start with
2665s	is a little music box that plays i think
2667s	that's bg3 theme uh in in the background
2670s	or you can sell it you know if you're
2671s	into that okay okay so it's like free
2673s	cash to start with it's your um you know
2677s	hair loom you're you're a little it's
2678s	going for mr balancing
2680s	all right okay all right good you can
2681s	have this one
2685s	all right excellent thank you very much
2686s	nick he's very stingy when it comes to
2688s	lutz
2689s	you have no ideas the conversations that
2691s	we've had sometimes um
2694s	we're gonna have a little demo of uh i
2696s	guess we're gonna play a bard gnome does
2698s	that make sense actually about gnome
2700s	it makes sense
2702s	if you want to you want it to make sense
2705s	if you role-play look at it it's perfect
2707s	like
2708s	it's look like parts what is the and one
2710s	of the questions you must be getting
2712s	when you talk about the gnomes which
2713s	clearly you're very passionate about uh
2715s	is like what is the throat max throwing
2717s	distance like is there a uh
2719s	how do they they're as light as as
2721s	halflings so they're prime throwing
2723s	material i can improvise weapons uh with
2725s	the gnomes and i can just throw them
2727s	uh as far as i want them nicely
2730s	definitely looking forward to a demo of
2731s	that uh as we uh get ready for uh your
2736s	demo there's actually one more thing
2737s	that we have new in character creation
2739s	oh yes yes and that is the appearance
2741s	tab yeah there's a whole bunch of
2743s	new customization options that have been
2745s	added to the hair
2747s	we have different hairstyles now
2748s	highlights that kind of thing but i have
2750s	somebody lined up who would very much
2752s	like to talk about hair
2754s	and it is none other than our very own
2757s	victoria can we bring up victoria
2760s	what's new for her in parties well um
2763s	actually a lot is new
2765s	we've overhauled the entire hair system
2768s	we've added automatic snapping so you
2770s	can choose any hair you want across
2773s	gender or race no matter who you choose
2776s	we also added highlights ring hair and
2779s	more hair and all kinds of adjustments
2783s	the hair in vg3 already looked pretty
2785s	good
2786s	what we set out to do was to make it
2790s	even better make it prettier so one good
2792s	example of things that we changed and
2795s	we're striving to still improve upon is
2799s	afros they felt pretty flat and pretty
2803s	unrealistic and now
2805s	we try to make them a bit more fluffy
2808s	and even more realistic
2811s	one of the things that
2813s	we really take into consideration is
2815s	player feedback
2817s	with all the changes that we've rolled
2819s	out
2819s	it's going to be really important for us
2821s	to hear what's how players feel about it
2824s	so that we can improve further opponents
2827s	and by
2829s	release end up with fabulous hair
2833s	like mine
2836s	[Music]
2840s	all right our character artists
2842s	absolutely are the best like it is
2844s	incredible how much passion they put in
2845s	the entire
2846s	plethora of races and uh
2848s	classes that we have into the game the
2850s	amount of hairstyles is just insane in
2852s	this game yes and uh yeah you can
2854s	combine anything from any race anybody
2856s	type yeah that's worth and beards also
2858s	we did that already before but i thought
2860s	i also like the fact that i mean like
2862s	i'm a man of hair uh difficulty really
2865s	yeah you hadn't noticed that yeah and i
2867s	really like that you can actually pick
2868s	for your gray hair what it's graying
2870s	towards too so i want to agree towards
2872s	purple and that that's a thing that can
2874s	happen now and i think this is a bloody
2875s	amazing yeah um all right uh we have a
2878s	long list david have you seen this like
2881s	you don't know anyone that can do it and
2882s	i wanted to do something really
2884s	impressive but i can't no because it
2886s	terror

2922s	um we have uh a save game a bit further
2925s	into the game this is through the grove
2927s	and i have a bart here who is ready to
2928s	level up to level three uh which is when
2931s	bart's get uh their subclass so we can
2933s	check out check out all right let's have
2935s	a look
2937s	now just so you know nick is doing this
2940s	on a screen that's half broken because
2941s	hunter and his band were a little bit
2943s	too enthusiastic
2944s	so he might be missing things that might
2946s	be obvious to you but they're definitely
2947s	not obvious to nick it was neil
2950s	the guy
2952s	the guy you voted for
2955s	it's fine chat will help me out i'm sure
2957s	they will correct me if i don't see half
2959s	of all right okay all right let's go for
2961s	it
2961s	so uh when board levels up to three
2963s	first thing we're going to do is uh put
2965s	in the expertise points which already
2967s	mentioned
2968s	so i'm going to pick persuasion uh and
2970s	performance or performance
2972s	um typical bird thinks that we'll
2974s	definitely need throughout and then we
2976s	have two subclasses so we have college
2978s	of law in college of valor
2980s	for the college of lore we have cunning
2983s	words another way to insult your enemy
2985s	this time to
2988s	give them a penalty on their d20 checks
2990s	and of course we're adding some spells
2992s	some for bart and some that are going to
2994s	be used by other classes as well yeah so
2996s	here i have a phantasmal force a spell
2998s	that deals psychic damage every turn or
3001s	if you deal some new damage type
3005s	the enemy will remember
3007s	the damage type that you dealt for
3008s	example fire and they will keep
3010s	receiving fire they're gonna get fire
3012s	damage they think they get fire damage
3014s	they're actually getting fire damage how
3016s	does that even work it's like a phantom
3018s	pain kind of thing phantom parts are
3020s	sneaky like yeah they're not
3022s	hunted by your nightmares there you go
3023s	there you go that can do fire damage too
3025s	so i'm not gonna i'm not gonna i'm not
3026s	gonna ask i'm not gonna ask all right go
3027s	ahead i'm not gonna do that i'm gonna
3030s	pick calm emotions and you uh another
3032s	new spell that makes you immune to charm
3034s	the frightening this is something the
3035s	world needs david also needs some calm
3037s	emotion spell
3038s	just right now and we will need it
3041s	uh and just for uh interests we're going
3042s	to show college of valor as well uh
3044s	college of valor is a bit better with
3046s	weapons and armor
3048s	and they have the proficiencies and they
3050s	have combat inspiration so they can
3052s	get their bardock inspiration to uh
3055s	apply to damage and armor class okay all
3058s	right so but we're going with college of
3059s	law right i think we're gonna go with
3061s	college of law so that we can insult
3062s	people there's a uh are you gonna
3064s	explain jack of all trades
3066s	oh yeah let's check it out
3069s	so something that we're updating in the
3070s	patch as well we're highlighting more of
3072s	the class features in in character panel
3074s	so here for example we have jack of all
3076s	trades
3077s	so that one means that even if you're
3080s	not proficient or have expertise in the
3081s	skill you still give you still add half
3084s	of your proficiency bonus to all of the
3086s	skills and is that a uh
3088s	is that like unique to the board yeah
3090s	yeah that's that's our thing all right
3091s	as a matter of fact you could think of
3093s	the part of like the one if you want to
3095s	like play a little bit of everything
3096s	that's the guy
3098s	there should be like a phrase for that

3151s	the action that the bard has i can pick
3153s	one of three songs okay and so this is a
3156s	new piece of ui new new ui um there's
3159s	like spells that have different
3161s	variations like
3163s	perform here but also
3165s	other spells um you can get like select
3168s	this variation in the new ui and it's
3171s	also used for up casting yeah can we can
3173s	you show some up casting in it can you
3174s	use a wizard or something i think i have
3176s	it on here as well yeah there you go
3178s	this is great yeah you get you get a
3180s	nice uh beautiful ui
3183s	also pointing out because that's one of
3184s	the things you've been working on the
3185s	tooltips here yeah because they've got
3187s	an upgrade too again yeah they're more
3190s	beautiful again um the text is getting
3192s	tweaked all the time um to
3195s	get as much information across in as few
3197s	words which is not always easy in dnd
3200s	is that a thing you always had like you
3202s	you appreciate the aesthetics of
3203s	tooltips
3208s	thing all right
3209s	all right which song are we going to
3211s	pick i know which one you're going to
3212s	pick i want the power i figured and the
3214s	power the power are we going for the
3216s	power yes we're going all right
3217s	try harden from the start all right so
3219s	let's see
3222s	[Music]
3225s	so he's starting to whistle because he
3226s	doesn't have an instrument on him yeah
3228s	that's what happened if you have no
3229s	instrument indeed and npcs will will
3232s	join in if they are good with sinning or
3234s	they have an instrument so voila is
3236s	they're giving gold yeah and we have an
3238s	audience uh the druids are interested in
3240s	our in our song yeah they're throwing
3242s	gold coins they're throwing gold coins
3244s	out here this is a way of getting rich
3246s	uh really slowly
3248s	like a true bart
3252s	right if anything people are just going
3253s	to ignore you see pretend you're not
3255s	sitting there while they're enjoying the
3256s	music turn around like pop out again i'm
3259s	still ignoring you like turn around pass
3261s	by again the kid is gonna look at the
3263s	parents going to say are we not going to
3264s	give because some person something like
3266s	that they get directly going to say no
3267s	kids and then ultimately and feel really
3269s	guilty going to give money to kids get
3270s	you're going to make david said again
3274s	all right okay uh you also need to pass
3276s	a skill chart actually to get the money
3278s	i need to get a skill you need to be
3279s	good at it yeah what happens if you're
3281s	bad then you no money for you no money
3284s	for me
3285s	that's even sad to keep practice like
3287s	losing at the forgotten idol um just
3289s	like that actually can you play
3291s	instruments when you're not a bard
3293s	yes yes so um
3296s	if you want multiple people playing
3297s	instruments in your party uh at level
3299s	four you can uh get a feet that's called
3301s	performer and that gives you a
3303s	proficiency with a musical instrument
3305s	and everybody can play so then your
3307s	party will play together just like
3308s	you're now playing with the npc yes i
3310s	think we have a save game later on that
3311s	we can show you we're going to show that
3313s	at the end
3314s	a few follow-up questions on this uh
3316s	first of all this looks super scripted
3318s	sir oh that's absolutely scripted no
3320s	it's completely systemic so you want to
3322s	insult me
3323s	uh i have 97 insults can we get an
3326s	insult
3327s	oh i thought i was going to get an
3328s	instance that's okay all right no insult
3330s	so no wait hold on i have another
3333s	question so it's systemic so that means
3334s	that you can find if you find bart's
3336s	anywhere they're going to start playing
3337s	with you and if there's no bard people
3339s	are going to come to you if you pause
3340s	the performance check
3341s	that also means that you can distract
3343s	people by playing oh yeah oh yeah
3346s	if you need npcs to look one way when
3349s	you're doing something else the other
3350s	way uh that's that's a good way to do it
3353s	there's some kits over there in the
3354s	grove can we go to the kits and see if
3356s	we can rob them blind
3358s	absolutely absolutely all right okay
3359s	let's do that if that's what we want to
3362s	do
3363s	we're gonna go there they stole from us
3365s	first they are a bit shady yeah so there
3367s	you go so just giving them back giving
3369s	the same experience back to them they're
3370s	only children they're innocent thiefling
3373s	children well they are we don't call
3375s	where i mean like
3377s	like it's just it's just showing the
3379s	feature david it's fine
3380s	like we're not saying that all musicians
3382s	are like or d flings yeah the kids also
3385s	like the power just like so and the
3386s	thiefling is innocent i mean the bard is
3388s	innocent he's just playing music right

3425s	you're supposed to be an adult act like
3427s	it okay all right so the kid noticed it
3430s	all right well this happened that's a
3432s	pity i'm so sad for the people that
3433s	worked on that feature uh let's move on
3435s	[Laughter]
3437s	you're not gonna no no not in that way
3439s	no no no no no no
3440s	this is a cool feature and i did
3442s	something really cool here i wanted to

3445s	it happens all right let's go forward uh
3448s	we have a hold on i david you're gonna
3450s	have to help me because you ruined this
3451s	well to be fair
3453s	now you gotta go to the top i got a
3455s	whole bunch of stuff that i highlighted
3456s	and i want to talk about there's a whole
3457s	bunch of features all right let's start
3459s	with part one thank you thank you
3462s	i'm a professional yes i can yeah i can
3464s	see that you've done this before
3466s	all right uh
3469s	the tech thoughts the tag thoughts is
3471s	that on your list
3472s	absolutely yes yes great um so we had
3475s	this spell that's called detect thoughts
3477s	and uh it was a bit uncomfortable to use
3479s	it before you had to pre-cast it before
3481s	a dialogue
3483s	but you didn't even know when it would
3485s	be relevant so few people used it i
3487s	think you're very polite because
3488s	uncomfortable it was absolutely [ __ ]
3490s	really
3491s	i mean like
3492s	nobody used it now it's it's a lot more
3495s	comfortable
3499s	good news is that he has his sword this
3501s	time for now are you ready he's going to
3503s	lose it
3504s	i'm going to say interesting technique
3507s	goblins in the wild for blood and the
3510s	druids in here looking to kick us out
3512s	or worse
3513s	we need to be ready for a fight
3516s	i'm useless with the sword
3518s	so now if there's a detect thoughts
3520s	opportunity in the dialogue you can cast
3522s	it right right in the dialogue okay
3524s	which we're gonna do and we get plus one
3525s	from jack of all trades
3529s	all right so go for it
3532s	hope you're going to work
3534s	very good so now you're going to learn
3535s	something that he knows
3538s	yeah it's going to be his secret thought
3543s	and i just
3545s	just froze while the wall tore his head
3548s	clean off
3551s	never again
3552s	all right
3555s	okay so now you know something extra
3556s	that you didn't know before exactly so
3558s	now we know how to cheer him up um
3562s	giving that information right
3564s	i i need to clear my head
3566s	all right and so
3568s	i lost his sword he did lose his sword
3570s	all right
3576s	found this by the road bet you'll put it
3578s	to good use
3580s	all right so he's giving you a reward
3581s	also for that that's really good thank
3583s	you so you're gonna what are you getting
3584s	more free stuff well i'm getting
3586s	inspired that's one thing all right so
3587s	that's going to give you an extra roll
3589s	if you need it
3591s	and what else do you get
3593s	a battle battle accident okay well
3595s	freebies yeah that's just barred stuff
3597s	and it's just about stuff all right okay
3599s	cool so the tech fault is now easier to
3601s	access because it's now available from
3602s	within the dialogue so that's really
3604s	good
3604s	um
3606s	there's other cool spell stuff that is
3608s	also new okay go for it yeah so um the
3612s	spellbook has been uh updated okay
3615s	we have an updated ui you can now look
3618s	at spells and filter for them
3621s	so that is
3622s	very very neat so yeah there's a search
3624s	and you can also like look on type on
3626s	the damage stealth stuff like that
3630s	and also if you are a wizard and you
3633s	want to learn new spells
3636s	there's a neat
3637s	ui
3638s	thing for that as well
3641s	where it shows all the spell scrolls
3643s	that you have for spells that you
3644s	haven't learned yet uh it shows how much
3646s	you pay for it it you can see that asset
3648s	arrow here is cheaper because it's for
3651s	your sub class and you can just like
3653s	click it and then learn it yup well
3655s	let's learn something right maybe yeah
3656s	maybe silence science you clearly are up
3659s	to something
3661s	so now that we have it we also need to
3662s	prepare it yeah
3664s	uh which is now done in
3667s	a bit of an either way
3669s	so you see your prepared spells and you
3670s	select which ones you want yeah uh and i
3672s	also have find familiar on uh on gail
3674s	that's true actually yeah it's one of
3676s	the other small things quality of life
3677s	things that have been added all right go
3679s	for it which one do you want uh well a
3681s	newt you're only newt well um no newt
3685s	but i have a frog how does frog sound
3687s	nothing
3689s	how many times do i go over this it's a
3691s	new without the tail exactly but it's
3692s	not nude it's a frog
3695s	amphibians all right
3700s	so what's special about him why are you
3702s	showing us familiars uh well there's a
3704s	lot special about the frog but uh the
3706s	new thing in the patch is that uh
3708s	familiars and rangers companions will
3710s	stick with you if you rust they will not
3713s	just poof away they will so you lost
3715s	them so you now can actually have a
3716s	relationship with your ranger companion
3718s	that lasts forever all the way until the
3720s	end of the day as long as you can keep
3721s	them alive as long as you can keep them
3723s	alive all right but they can also heal
3725s	now yes yes you can uh but during short
3727s	rest they can take
3729s	yeah okay so that's good all right
3731s	you have to take the familiar
3733s	frog

3812s	wilderness uh looking for adventure
3815s	looking for things to find
3817s	all right oh what's that oh no
3820s	it's about
3821s	it's a dirt mound full of dirt if only i
3825s	could do something about it no way i
3827s	have a shovel yeah
3829s	do you know someone what what people can
3831s	do with a shovel many things you can
3832s	throw them that's true you can try to
3834s	eat them

3837s	i think you can hit somebody with it
3838s	also you can hit somebody yeah you can
3840s	sell it
3841s	but also you can dig
3843s	through this isn't it true yeah so
3846s	what happens
3848s	uh uh there comes a question i knew it
3850s	was gonna be just big chess
3858s	so so oh before you open it is this
3861s	i know i i played a few games in my life
3864s	most of them that have a thing like
3866s	digging and stuff like that i mean like
3867s	you open the chest you get a carrot if
3869s	you're lucky you get a coin like maybe a
3871s	a boon is this going to be like this
3873s	with or or let's find out
3875s	this is a carrot man
3877s	oh
3878s	it's not that bad actually it's quite
3880s	blank yeah
3882s	so
3883s	how do you discover
3885s	chests how do you figure out that
3887s	they're there so there's uh quite a few
3889s	scattered around some are just
3890s	completely hidden but some
3892s	are pointed out by notes or npcs okay so
3896s	and uh if you discover them you do need
3898s	to do any kind of check yes you need to
3900s	do the
3904s	transformation no
3906s	perception
3907s	perception check all right okay
3911s	we'll look at a combat with you and
3912s	where the bar is going to show what the
3914s	bart actually means to the party i i
3916s	trust uh but before we do that we have a
3918s	very exciting feature coming up uh
3920s	regarding combat uh for quite some time
3923s	our developers have been working very
3925s	hard on a ai feature which we call swarm
3928s	ai and uh the person that's gonna
3930s	introduce that to you is none other than
3932s	edward ember or lead combat designer so
3935s	the swarm ai is for us the ability to
3937s	group together certain units so that
3939s	they act at the same time
3941s	essentially instead of taking a turn
3944s	each they will move together then act
3946s	and turn so we do this on certain minor
3949s	units such as perhaps small animals
3952s	stupid goblins things like that
3954s	essentially the problem we're trying to
3956s	solve is that we're trying to
3957s	speed up combat because the experience
3959s	we thought the experience was too slow
3961s	so you would often in big fights right
3963s	in fights with perhaps
3964s	10 15 participants who would have to
3966s	wait until everybody thinks then moves
3969s	then acts and we're looking for a way to
3971s	uh to yeah to speed things up that's the
3973s	idea
3975s	the major change that you're going to
3977s	see is that certain fights where we have
3979s	enabled swarm ai it's not enabled
3980s	everywhere but in the in the fights we
3982s	have enabled it it's going to play a lot
3984s	faster it's going to be a lot smoother
3986s	yeah i can give you a specific example
3987s	of this uh which is the goblin village
3989s	right
3990s	in the
3991s	in the temple ruins so you used to have
3993s	all these goblins right and you would
3994s	attack one of them for fun or because
3996s	the conversation turned sour or anything
3998s	and then they would all act
4000s	the one after the other it would take a
4002s	long time this was never satisfactory
4003s	for us so now the swami ai is in place
4006s	they're going to start moving uh
4008s	well in a much more efficient way and
4011s	you can actually have a an experience
4014s	that is a lot better and a lot more
4015s	fluid
4017s	[Music]
4026s	forget about him guys we figured it out
4028s	due to some sort of
4030s	we made sure that all criticals and
4032s	deaths are gonna feel so much more
4035s	rewarding right now
4036s	combat cameras they're back so load the
4039s	dice or know
4040s	anything you do is just gonna have that
4043s	punch to it
4044s	like this
4048s	[Music]
4058s	okay so swarm ai big thing big thing a
4061s	uh it changes a lot it changes the
4064s	example uh sometimes
4065s	it's like uh
4067s	the it's been quite a challenge also to
4069s	get it to work because it's uh the ai
4070s	that we have is it's a thinking ai so it
4073s	plans so having them all think together
4075s	it took quite a lot of optimization to
4076s	get it to work smoothly but it's uh well
4079s	we'll see what what the community thinks
4080s	i think it's a it's it really aids a lot
4082s	in combat especially in the big ones uh
4085s	so
4086s	um and
4088s	you're gonna do a combat with us yeah
4090s	right yeah okay so but we're first going
4092s	to get into the combat right so we're
4094s	going to do what's called as a harpy
4095s	fight uh let's have a look
4099s	i'm sorry
4100s	can you hear something in the distance
4103s	definitely not a heartbeat that's the
4105s	part i have to go and investigate
4109s	what could it be anyway let's talk to
4110s	this guy
4111s	uh
4112s	narcan what are you doing here man
4116s	[Music]
4120s	a sweet melody plays above the waves
4124s	beckoning me
4125s	drowning out all logical thought
4129s	the bard let's uh yeah let's try to sing
4134s	oh yeah a lot of bone is there yeah
4136s	maybe you should add some more
4137s	definitely we're getting all of the
4139s	bones all right to get a five we already
4142s	have six oh
4143s	thank you dave all right well you're
4145s	good i don't think you i don't think you
4147s	could have lost this one no
4149s	you never know
4151s	you're gonna try to save the kids as the
4153s	spell breaks
4155s	you are free
4157s	shall we try to break the guy out as
4161s	well as you do as you want so go ahead
4163s	maybe a lot harder yeah well let's oh
4167s	because you're a bart's cheese it's easy
4171s	easy
4172s	look at that
4173s	flexing
4175s	yeah expert is really helpful yeah it's
4176s	really cool
4177s	all right wasn't there a thing about
4179s	guidance as well oh there's one of the
4181s	best notes is guidance yeah i mean it's
4183s	one of the small things that's in there
4185s	which i liked it in the patch list you
4186s	can see that the game is maturing uh so
4188s	you think like for instance if you try
4190s	to detect shallow hearts faults and you
4192s	try to use her guidance to detect her
4194s	faults that doesn't work anymore so
4196s	small things like this that are starting
4197s	to get done that are
4199s	demonstrating that we're getting closer
4200s	to the end
4201s	of the development we still have a lot
4202s	of work all right so you're getting into
4204s	combat
4206s	and yeah well we're gonna just watch
4207s	what you're gonna do in combat let's
4208s	watch a little bit of combat but we
4209s	still have other stuff that's lined up
4211s	yeah uh so see what what's the spot i do
4213s	think i do hope you're gonna throw gnome
4215s	in here
4216s	well we can we can end with us
4219s	all right well let's see two of my two
4221s	my characters are lured by the harpy
4222s	song
4224s	so oh oh
4226s	[Music]
4228s	okay
4229s	okay uh let's open with a sleep should i
4232s	cast alive
4235s	that's uh oh no i do like that
4238s	let's
4239s	sleep this heartbeat
4241s	we're gonna break her concentration
4243s	right there so that takes the lure away
4245s	yeah i'm so smart
4247s	all right oh the frog the frog oh yeah
4249s	frog is gonna do it it's gonna do its
4251s	thing look like can you throw the frog
4254s	yeah you can throw the truck okay
4257s	but frog is gonna deal
4259s	maybe one damage
4262s	it's like no seventh row okay
4265s	are you gonna manage yeah i'm gonna look
4267s	like you're gonna manage well i have
4269s	stage fright oh yeah it's right yeah
4271s	yeah what does that do that's one of
4273s	your thoughtful powers that is a helpful
4274s	power for bart's um
4277s	well
4277s	a lot of things uh a lot of debuffs
4280s	and
4281s	let's see
4283s	let's see if i can group more of them
4286s	stay fried can we give them stage five
4289s	[Applause]
4290s	oh yeah one of them at least well one of
4292s	them is not too bad
4293s	uh shall we curse one of them
4296s	with cutting words
4298s	so what cutting words would do
4300s	is that
4301s	you did on your turn right now and
4304s	the enemy will have a penalty on their
4306s	next d20
4308s	okay
4311s	that was one of the random
4315s	okay
4317s	did you just say that
4319s	something something something
4324s	all right it's a bar
4325s	they're very creative yeah
4336s	okay all right all right he's going to
4337s	the harpy he's not running away so shall
4340s	we try to
4341s	toss yes toss me up
4344s	all right all right let's let's try
4345s	let's see how far we can throw not too
4347s	far
4349s	don't throw up heavy yeah no the path is
4351s	interrupted no find a path find the club
4352s	there's one one a little bit lower no
4354s	yeah there will work
4357s	[Music]
4360s	well
4361s	it did work
4362s	if we call that work
4364s	i don't think you're gonna get anywhere
4367s	well
4368s	we can leave the the end of this fight
4372s	and we can't check out something no no
4373s	no no no no no another one that usually
4375s	dies on this now you're invested
4376s	[Laughter]
4379s	that's much better
4380s	[Laughter]
4383s	let me heal myself up thank you okay i
4385s	want to see how the pros do it
4390s	should be charm
4392s	got involved we're gonna just guide and
4394s	bolt
4398s	all them i do want to get to my bar
4399s	because i would like to use calm
4401s	emotions that would be good actually
4402s	because that will take them
4404s	are you understanding silence on the
4406s	other two yeah because they don't try to
4408s	lure me that's why you learn silence
4410s	yeah very handy i also have a scroll of
4412s	mystery step
4413s	yeah you can throw it pick up the barton
4415s	troll
4417s	again it was not much of a flower it's
4419s	not a big trouble right are we going to
4420s	skip the frog first time
4422s	so where is it calm emotions let's make
4425s	everybody immune to
4429s	the charm effects
4431s	that's cheating there you go that breaks
4433s	the fight well much easier right now
4436s	okay so you are going to manage all
4437s	right so that's actually quite powerful
4439s	yeah yeah
4440s	well while you're on the bart don't you
4442s	have some really cool arrows on on her
4444s	as well oh yeah i do new tool tips
4450s	that's right yeah all right so
4452s	a lot of the items that deal damage now
4455s	have
4456s	the same kind of tooltip cells the
4458s	spells they show the damage they show
4460s	the range
4461s	and also new on this tooltip is that you
4464s	can see the area of effector
4467s	it's small but it's there
4468s	right here right there and also like any
4472s	um
4472s	[Music]
4474s	um
4475s	spells and and arrows and stuff that are
4478s	in
4478s	short reigns so less than two meters now
4481s	have the melee so there's all kind of
4483s	small um i noticed i mean when i was
4486s	playing it and trying it out i noticed
4488s	how much quality of life invisible
4490s	things small things things you
4492s	once you see them you don't you can't
4494s	live without them again yeah and you
4496s	didn't realize they were missing but
4497s	there's really a lot of them when you go
4499s	through it it's really it's really
4500s	really good all right all right so shall
4503s	we get to something less combat sorry
4505s	that's it i know i want you to see
4506s	finish this fight oh now they want to
4508s	yeah all right all right
4511s	you're trying to get out of this fight
4513s	before my smile out of it right
4516s	that's gonna be a slaughter isn't it
4520s	are you resisting the song so that's
4522s	good yeah i'm immune
4524s	let's see let's see how far lizel can
4526s	jump yeah she's going to be all right
4529s	but you have an attack of opportunities
4530s	yeah man something that we yeah added
4533s	recently thank you
4535s	all right wow actually silence now but
4538s	she can i just got her action search
4541s	okay
4542s	action search
4543s	uh where are my maneuvers yeah pushing
4547s	the maneuver let's see let's see if i
4548s	can shop here off this cliff
4551s	that's enough okay that was really good
4552s	that's much easier and fail there saving
4554s	through good that's okay yeah oh she's
4556s	sinning
4558s	now singing loud
4561s	keep tilting them okay maybe i need to
4563s	walk away a bit
4564s	okay
4569s	more radiant damage
4572s	starting to get there time to get there
4574s	yeah
4575s	so that really wants to put me through a
4576s	basis here i do i do i do yeah isn't
4579s	there also like that cool new feature if
4582s	you select the wrong person
4584s	yeah yeah let's see yeah yeah
4585s	show that show that yeah so if i have
4587s	flyers and it's not her turn right uh we
4590s	now have a little button here yeah that
4592s	tells you whoops it's not this
4593s	character's turn and if you click it it
4595s	gives you the character who's turning
4596s	this there's also a new resting ui
4598s	actually that we forgot to show we'll we
4600s	should show that afterwards yeah yeah
4602s	okay go go for it let's try to keep
4604s	throwing them off oh very complex why do
4607s	you want to throw them off i mean like
4610s	silence
4612s	you're very nice good well done
4614s	[Music]
4616s	you clearly are better than i am i would
4617s	have been i would have been dead in this
4619s	fight i think where's our
4621s	heartbeat all right
4624s	thank you yeah i was hoping for a crit
4626s	because we need to show that crit cam of
4628s	course
4629s	ah that's much better before toxin
4633s	all right you're in business okay i
4635s	believe that you can win this fight all
4637s	right i still want to see though
4642s	all right our psionic sonic jump yeah oh
4645s	lazzell is really good let's see if this
4647s	gonna work
4649s	oh you're so badass yeah
4651s	that is reasonable well it's a lot
4653s	easier when i'm not lured
4655s	okay i'm immune to to their tricks
4658s	oh no that was stupid you stupid beast
4660s	she forgot about silence yeah i don't
4663s	think she's aware
4664s	whoa

4681s	all right still fishing for that crit
4683s	okay
4685s	no crits to be seen no chris is very
4687s	unlucky actually uh oh let's do the
4689s	decent whispers oh that's really
4691s	powerful so i like that one
4694s	well that's a kill all right we have one

4704s	can rest all right all right all right
4707s	last plus attack
4709s	all right all right you were very
4710s	impressive i gotta say like it's much
4713s	better both bart's um
4715s	advantage there
4716s	okay very good thank you very much so
4718s	support class
4719s	that's the best way of support that can
4721s	do many things yes right and that's
4724s	um that can help you also out of combat
4726s	by uh attracting attention
4729s	it can perform can lead you to actually
4731s	really cool moments of music
4732s	which we'll have a look at and i you can
4734s	load that save game as nick is getting
4736s	ready for his uh save game
4739s	uh we have a whole bunch of other
4742s	changes and additions that came to the
4743s	game uh one of them uh is a sign of how
4746s	the game is maturing i've been using
4748s	that word a lot recently
4750s	we have a lot of improved polish that
4752s	has been added to our cinematics and our
4754s	cinematics team uh put together a couple
4757s	of uh
4758s	videos to show before and after how the
4761s	game is evolving and a couple of new
4763s	features that were not in the cinematics
4765s	before so let's have a look at that
4766s	let's start with the before and after
4767s	video let's have a look at what that
4770s	does if we can
4772s	yeah there we go
4777s	words of mine
4792s	[Music]
4800s	okay all right i am was told that my mic
4802s	is open so i can still talk about it all
4804s	right so here we are seeing uh new snake
4806s	animations that were added uh on top of
4808s	it uh here we're gonna see much more
4810s	detail for instance that pouch i thought
4812s	that was cool
4813s	uh
4814s	we're looking at the flutes
4816s	which they're actually holding now
4817s	rather than putting next to their ear so
4819s	you're seeing a lot of polish in action
4821s	uh right there and obviously we are not
4824s	only making act one on the game we're
4826s	also making act 2 and act 3 which are
4828s	quite the things look at that hair here
4829s	i mean like that's really i mean like i
4831s	when i saw that for the first time i
4832s	said oh my it's really really getting
4834s	there and these are the this birth of a
4836s	eggnoll
4838s	that they come out of hyenas and dragon
4840s	attack as getting some love there
4844s	improving every single patch moving
4846s	forward and so you can see how
4848s	technology is starting to mature
4849s	features are coming into place uh this
4851s	is actually a big one this is the uh
4853s	swamp oi we went dark
4855s	um
4856s	you were to see what happens when you
4858s	break through the illusion of the hack
4859s	oh it's a pity that we went dark there
4861s	uh so
4863s	you ah i was still playing so you just
4866s	saw uh
4867s	what was before just a static swap has
4869s	now received some of the effects on the
4871s	zvex sloth
4872s	uh i am still seeing blackness here
4874s	there you go torture scene in the goblin
4876s	camp uh so just a few of many many
4880s	scenes that are getting
4882s	better and better uh
4884s	here we see our micronets or dancing
4886s	mike and it's
4887s	uh this is the scene when they're happy
4889s	i think when they're uh
4891s	when they're celebrating
4893s	when you when you save them
4894s	[Music]
4897s	and
4898s	more and that's the shot of our dead
4900s	neil if i'm not mistaken
4903s	all right but that's not the only thing
4904s	they did they wanted to point out two
4906s	extra features uh we have first of all
4910s	uh we have the sustain emotions
4911s	sustaining motions which actually are
4913s	gameplay indicators of what your party
4915s	members are thinking what the characters
4917s	in the game are thinking when you are
4918s	going in dialogue we got a video on
4920s	sustaining emotions so sustainable is
4921s	basically when the characters just uh
4923s	instead of going back to their post they
4925s	just keep on being
4926s	in their regular emotional state so i
4929s	think you're you're seeing shadow
4930s	shadowheart being angry right now and
4933s	then she came back she was smelling
4934s	something you thought she was smelling
4936s	something that that is also possible uh
4940s	this is the shadowheart fear
4942s	shadowheart uh well she has a whole
4944s	bunch of emotions that she can throw at
4946s	you and uh get um
4949s	as they affect her
4951s	your approval rating with her also
4953s	so there was that shadow heart
4955s	did she lose a contest
4958s	[Music]
4958s	[Laughter]
4962s	it's a small thing it's something that's
4963s	big for us because it's something that
4964s	we cannot apply in all of our cinematics
4966s	and still makes them better but we have
4968s	uh more that was added also and that's a
4971s	thing that's invisible but we want to
4973s	highlight it uh because it does a lot it
4975s	also represents a lot of work that's
4976s	been done it is uh the background
4978s	animations uh or as we call it the
4980s	peanuts uh can we pick up peanut video
4983s	please so peanuts are basically the
4985s	characters in the background in the past
4987s	they weren't really doing anything but
4989s	now you're going to notice as you go
4990s	through the game that there's always
4991s	going to be action as they react
4992s	basically to what the the protagonist of
4994s	the scene is doing so it's subtle but it
4997s	adds a lot again to the believability of
4999s	everything that you're seeing which is
5001s	which is an important thing for us as
5003s	we're building this game and remember
5004s	we're doing this across a very large
5006s	game and so the amount of cinematic uh
5009s	animation that's going into it is insane
5011s	uh but the the goal of course is to give
5013s	you a immersive uh experience uh so
5016s	right now we're looking at um
5019s	and we're seeing oh well oh yeah i've
5021s	been in that well it's a really cool
5023s	well these are ogres
5025s	so see reaction show so that's the
5026s	recruitment one of the possible
5028s	recruitments of shadowheart
5029s	and so you see the characters in the
5030s	background you see didn't see that
5031s	before that was all invisible once
5033s	you've seen it you don't want to you
5034s	can't unsee it anymore so we never
5036s	highlighted it but this is now also part
5040s	of our patch nick did you set up the
5043s	thing that you wanted yes yes we are
5045s	ready
5046s	uh and before we're gonna start with the
5048s	thing that i wanted to show there's
5050s	another thing that uh ian i wanted to
5052s	show you and that's the new oh yeah
5054s	that's right that one that's really neat
5055s	also yeah
5056s	um they're they're neat um
5061s	okay
5062s	they're singing singing certainly she's
5065s	got the audience of scrolls yeah well um
5067s	why don't we try to
5069s	sing a song with her yeah yeah but the
5071s	bard dance
5075s	he picks up her loot
5076s	yeah and you can hear the violin and the
5079s	loot
5080s	and then uh my party is level four and i
5083s	got the the feet
5086s	so i can join them
5089s	and you can hear the instruments joining
5090s	one by one as as the party numbers start
5093s	playing
5097s	[Music]
5109s	and you can see the squirrels looking at
5111s	me because i'm the best player
5114s	so you can do that in multiplayer also
5115s	yes whenever you are in the craziest
5117s	situations you can decide to make a
5118s	little bit of music you can earn a coin
5120s	that way you can loot everybody i think
5123s	it's like a it's like a
5125s	part difficult class to sell to people
5128s	but i think that i think they did a
5129s	really good job uh we've got much more
5132s	right so you gotta
5133s	there's a there's a
5135s	boatload of stuff that we really forgot
5137s	about yeah yeah all right well not
5139s	forget it but
5140s	again it's a it's a huge
5143s	batch list
5144s	there's so much to talk about
5146s	[Music]
5147s	one of the things that i wanted to
5149s	highlight was that we overhauled all the
5151s	alpha animations that's right yes um so
5154s	before they inherited the human
5156s	animations but humans are just so
5158s	boring and burly and like square
5161s	and olives are more elegant
5163s	and so now their animations reflect that
5166s	it's like because we're giving all of
5167s	the races a special uh special treatment
5170s	in animations or at least most of the
5171s	races i think
5172s	i saw your production look at me like
5174s	are we doing it for all the races i'm
5176s	not sure if we're getting there but the
5178s	um what did we change on the elves
5181s	uh their idols combat animations and
5183s	their lack of motion you look emotional
5185s	all right that reminds me of things um
5188s	okay what else do you want what else
5190s	doing um
5191s	speaking of little things that that are
5193s	that show that we are moving on to a new
5196s	um
5197s	let's say stage of of polish or or
5199s	development is for instance you can now
5201s	copy paste your password
5204s	into password text boxes uh if we're
5207s	taking care of details like that it
5209s	means like we're we're in the final
5210s	stretch so we're going to be you're
5211s	ahead of production but we're getting
5212s	feature complete right
5214s	yeah in a couple of months yeah we
5216s	haven't released everything to the
5217s	audience yet can you explain maybe a
5219s	little bit what uh white box orange box
5221s	and then goldbox means
5225s	i don't know if the audience is really
5227s	interested well i just give them like an
5229s	a in one phrase you gotta explain it in
5231s	one phrase um so to support the
5234s	iteration that we do we first white box
5236s	off so that we don't lose too much time
5238s	on on iterating and then when we when we
5241s	nail it we go to orange box which is
5243s	when we
5244s	um
5245s	stop hacking stuff and we actually put
5248s	the the thing in that we think is going
5250s	to work
5250s	uh and after that stage ends and
5253s	everyone is happy we go into the
5255s	polishing or the gold boxing stage
5257s	so and uh when we um released in early
5260s	access we had a lot of stuff that was
5262s	wide boxed right we were trying stuff
5264s	out now we're moving more and more stuff
5266s	into orange box which means that we make
5267s	it complete but it's still missing
5270s	things here and there and so our final
5271s	stage is where we go into gold box which
5273s	is where we finish things for real we
5275s	polish it we remove all the bugs we make
5276s	sure that everything looks the way that
5278s	it's supposed to look and so as we're
5280s	now getting into the last stages of most
5282s	of the features in orange box so there's
5283s	a whole bunch of stuff that's not in the
5284s	game yet we are going to go into gold
5286s	box and a lot of stuff also and that's
5288s	the stage where we're slowly hitting
5290s	yeah there's there's indeed a lot of
5292s	things that are now in the game that are
5293s	orange box and there's a lot of
5294s	developers that would rather not release
5296s	it in orange box because they're not
5299s	proud enough of it but we need to
5301s	release it in orange box because then
5302s	you get feedback from the audience and
5305s	then you can you can move on to gold box
5307s	once you tried it out i think ui is
5309s	still the the best um
5312s	the best example of everything like
5314s	there's lots of stuff in ui that you
5316s	need to test out on a huge audience
5319s	because if if 12 or 120 people look at
5322s	something you need to test it out on
5324s	thousands and thousands of people yeah
5326s	what user experience do they have and i
5329s	think that if you look at the ui that we
5331s	had a couple of years ago and you look
5332s	at where we are at now
5334s	it proves that the system actually works
5336s	yeah it's not only that right so i mean
5338s	like we learned for instance from early
5340s	access we learned about network issues
5341s	that we didn't have in our previous
5342s	games so for instance this patch
5344s	features a whole bunch of network
5345s	improvements uh that weren't there
5347s	before so there's a whole bunch of
5348s	things invisible under the hood uh there
5350s	is a uh i forgot what its name is but
5352s	there's there's a whole bunch of
5353s	graphics features that are being added
5355s	also that people don't see for people
5356s	that have cards that are problematic so
5358s	they give bypasses yeah we now support
5360s	nvidia dlsa that one yeah
5367s	uh so there's a whole bunch of things
5368s	there's a
5369s	also work that you don't see but you
5371s	hear it when you play the game like we
5373s	have uh we have sound occlusion we have
5376s	um the audio attenuation that is in
5378s	there sound occlusion means that if you
5380s	walk in one room you can't hear what's
5381s	in the other room uh audio attenuation
5383s	is kind of a dynamic mix which basically
5386s	means that when certain actions are
5387s	important the sound mix changes on the
5390s	go you don't notice it because all the
5391s	attention goes to that one sound and
5393s	then the other stuff just changes
5395s	dynamically it's really important for
5397s	your overall experience and once you've
5398s	heard it again it's one of those things
5400s	you don't know that you can you can't
5401s	live without it anymore when you play
5402s	the game you'll discover all of this
5404s	because this is all featured in the
5405s	patch and there is much more uh the
5408s	patch notes should be up the patch
5410s	should be out
5412s	so uh i think it is time for you to try
5415s	it out for yourselves see where we are
5417s	uh heading
5419s	we know that development is taking a
5420s	long time we know that you're impatient
5421s	we know that you want all the things
5423s	that we are working on uh they're gonna
5425s	come uh we're gonna deliver them to you
5427s	when we're ready uh to deliver them to
5429s	the world and i know that's frustrating
5430s	but we wanna do it properly and so
5432s	things take time uh but when it's going
5434s	to be there you're going to have a
5436s	truckload of things that you're going to
5437s	be able to fool around and there'll be
5439s	many surprises in there also that you
5440s	are not expecting that's a promise uh
5443s	before we go uh let's see if chad wants
5446s	uh you guys to still play a song because
5448s	you guys have a new album that you've
5450s	been playing on right
5451s	uh we're planning on recording a new
5453s	album but uh covet wasn't very um
5456s	pleasant for us yeah um so we we do have
5459s	an album out but it's already out since
5461s	2019 we've been working on uh lots of
5464s	new songs they sound a lot more
5465s	aggressive actually than the old stuff
5467s	and so if chad still wants you back
5469s	because you could you did kill neil uh
5472s	do you
5473s	what song are you gonna be playing uh
5476s	we're going to play a song called the
5477s	knight of the black rose and for people
5479s	who have been reading dragon lands
5480s	novels you already know what it's about
5483s	so it's uh specifically for today we
5486s	would like to play a fantasy song which
5488s	is a bit like uh it's very omen like
5491s	very metal church like fairy manila road
5493s	like if you like that type of heavy
5495s	metal i remember meeting you for the
5497s	first time a long time ago and your
5498s	nickname back then was death knight oh
5500s	yes was that related to dragon lands
5502s	yeah it was uh it was before uh blizzard
5505s	started calling everyone and everything
5507s	that night so i was the only dead knight
5509s	with the death knight and it also back
5511s	then oh yeah yeah
5512s	that's why i wanted to work here
5515s	all right okay well we're gonna clear
5516s	the stage so that a hunter can do their
5518s	thing thank you very much chad for
5521s	watching thank you very much for all of
5523s	your support and your letters of
5524s	encouragement
5525s	we continue our development it's a slow
5527s	grinding process but we're going to get
5528s	there and we are now in the final stages
5531s	of our development uh we are heading
5534s	towards feature complete content
5535s	complete once we hit that we gotta
5537s	polish and then we can release so it's
5539s	not that far off anymore but it's still
5541s	it's still gonna be a little bit of time
