| 6s | his blonde hair all the way down to his |
| 11s | [Music] |
| 14s | opinions hey everybody Welcome to forge |
| 17s | in eternum the show where we talk about |
| 18s | All Things New World once again we have |
| 21s | most of the quest team here we have |
| 22s | Carrie Berg sha Dean Paul Molina Divia |
| 24s | Das and Lou Lucent and I'm getting |
| 26s | better at this every time um and today |
| 29s | we're going to talk about the characters |
| 30s | of new world uh in the story in the |
| 32s | particularly in the main story although |
| 33s | we can go outside of that if we want and |
| 35s | talk about characters we love I'll lead |
| 36s | off by saying that Grace Ali is probably |
| 38s | my favorite character if at least one of |
| 41s | them um I love Galahad too but Grace |
| 43s | like what's great about Grace is that |
| 44s | she comes in at the beginning and she |
| 47s | you know she is she's a character who's |
| 49s | just arrived on the island and can and |
| 51s | can be a buddy to the player and be like |
| 53s | what the what the is up with all on |
| 55s | This Island like the corrupted like I |
| 57s | don't believe this I'm get let's get a |
| 59s | boat and get out of here like that's her |
| 60s | whole agenda and so I love her you know |
| 63s | her way of just like responding the way |
| 65s | any rational person might when they |
| 67s | reach this island which isn't the case |
| 68s | with everybody else you meet um with |
| 70s | that said like what do you guys think |
| 71s | about Grace what do you think about your |
| 73s | favorite characters just jump in who |
| 75s | wants to go Carrie you go first oh I |
| 77s | mean I do love Grace she is great and |
| 80s | having Irish ancestry is awesome to see |
| 83s | a figure from that you know showing up |
| 85s | in the game uh but my favorite character |
| 89s | is hands down Morgan she is just a joy |
| 92s | to write for because it's basically me |
| 94s | with all of my filters removed so it's |
| 97s | just wonderful having her opinions and |
| 100s | Views out there I'm sure that if I lived |
| 103s | on a turnam I too would be in a cave and |
| 105s | a swamp turning people lost just you |
| 108s | know to study what happens so it it's |
| 111s | nice to know that there's a bit of a |
| 113s | turnam there that's after my own |
| 115s | heart cool least favorite though you had |
| 117s | it a minute ago ah least favorite is of |
| 119s | course Galahad I just I cannot stand him |
| 123s | from his blonde hair all the way down to |
| 125s | his opinions and so the the tension |
| 129s | between Morgan and Galahad is very much |
| 131s | much prejudice against blond I'm just |
| 133s | going to say it right now like it's it |
| 135s | exists everywhere like it's so unfair to |
| 138s | be fair my sister is a delightful |
| 140s | individual with very blonde hair so okay |
| 143s | yeah that's that's what you're saying in |
| 144s | your defense I get it well it's good CU |
| 146s | Galahad and morgane hate each other |
| 147s | anyway so fitting um so I also like |
| 150s | Grace um she's pretty awesome I I would |
| 152s | love to see her you know doing the dual |
| 154s | pistol Arrow you know just wrecking face |
| 156s | in the middle of a battle I think that |
| 157s | would be amazing to do um cinematics |
| 161s | request it's going to be in more um of |
| 165s | course players can't do that though |
| 166s | that's to me that's always been the |
| 168s | maybe yeah do wielding pistols would be |
| 170s | cool though it would be cool um but I |
| 172s | think my favorite characters are imotep |
| 175s | and gazi um slightly biased did a lot of |
| 178s | the writing and staging for them in Brim |
| 180s | Stone but um they're I feel like they |
| 184s | because they're the the touch zones |
| 185s | throughout the entire Zone um you get a |
| 188s | lot of the the interplay between them |
| 191s | and um they just have a fun relationship |
| 194s | and they bring the player into that so |
| 196s | it you get the kind of fatherly uh |
| 199s | relationship with imotep and you get the |
| 201s | kind of flirty um you know friend next |
| 205s | door from gazi and and it's kind of fun |
| 207s | you get the fun reveal at the end that |
| 208s | I'm not going to spoil but go play |
| 210s | Brimstone if you haven't um they're |
| 212s | right away with gazi like you walk into |
| 214s | the zone and she's she's like hey how |
| 215s | you doing yeah um but I think least |
| 220s | favorite character that's that's a hard |
| 221s | one to pick |
| 223s | um it's less fun it's it's less fun |
| 226s | Carrie was like excited to talk about |
| 229s | murder Galahad |
| 230s | yes |
| 233s | um I don't know maybe father Russo just |
| 236s | because he's I I I don't know he he |
| 238s | comes across as very smarmy to to me for |
| 240s | some reason like it's the it's the way |
| 242s | that he relates to everything it's he's |
| 245s | like a lost puppy and it's like come on |
| 247s | just yeah be better be be best speaking |
| 251s | of lost puppies I mean that's how I |
| 255s | often feel |
| 258s | and great |
| 260s | segue that's why one of my favorite |
| 263s | characters is Yash because he is this |
| 267s | young guy who's found himself in a |
| 270s | strange land surrounded by experts and |
| 274s | he is basically trying to find himself |
| 277s | while facing the horrors of everyday |
| 280s | life so I really love Yash and I really |
| 284s | connect with him um the person I don't |
| 288s | like is lock near because I have had a |
| 290s | lot of adults in my life telling me what |
| 292s | is the right thing to do and what is the |
| 294s | wrong thing to do and often they can do |
| 297s | it passive aggressively and that's |
| 300s | that's lock need all over like even |
| 302s | though I contributed to him I want him |
| 305s | to just shut up and let me do my |
| 311s | thing that was perfect I don't know who |
| 313s | can follow that now yeah Paul you go uh |
| 318s | I mean I'm on the Morgan train as well |
| 320s | like I think Morgan is just the most |
| 322s | compelling character in the game I uh |
| 326s | there's a lot of things where she toes |
| 327s | the line between being like okay she an |
| 330s | ally but boy you have done some |
| 332s | questionable things |
| 335s | um the origins of the character are also |
| 337s | things that I really uh connect with the |
| 339s | aan lore and and sort of the Morgan fle |
| 341s | stuff which she's based in is always |
| 344s | like stuff that I really like that |
| 345s | character so plus uh having had the |
| 349s | pleasure of working with the vo actors |
| 351s | like a lot of them just being in the |
| 354s | studio with with the the uh actor who |
| 358s | voices Morgan is just like an absolute |
| 361s | pleasure |
| 362s | um I I have um it's hard to pick just |
| 367s | one morgane is my favorite but also big |
| 370s | fan of Rema um having been the primary |
| 373s | writer on season 2 Rema was a character |
| 376s | that I got to sort of like invest in and |
| 378s | and see a little bit more for so that's |
| 380s | a personal vanity project I think uh I |
| 383s | really um like her and sort of the |
| 386s | journey that she went on uh for season 2 |
| 389s | as far as is my least favorite it's I |
| 392s | maybe I'm just not going to go down the |
| 394s | negative path like I do it I there are |
| 398s | there are characters that from storyline |
| 400s | I I think that I'm like H loch's one |
| 404s | like oh you're the villain I can't stand |
| 406s | you |
| 407s | um uh Thorp I think is another character |
| 411s | where I'm kind of like boy I don't like |
| 414s | you man uh you are question individual |
| 417s | yeah um although I do there's a journey |
| 421s | with Thorp that I do like so so there's |
| 424s | it's it's hard really any any good |
| 427s | villain uh in any story should be |
| 429s | somebody that has something there that |
| 432s | you connect with I mean we we see that |
| 433s | in popular media all the time and I |
| 436s | think Thorp ticks those buttons as does |
| 439s | Isabella um and a lot of our others |
| 442s | so um so yeah I I I look forward to |
| 447s | exploring some of these characters more |
| 448s | and seeing who we bring in |
| 450s | as we go forward with our story and what |
| 451s | else we we can explore so those of you |
| 454s | playing the home game already know that |
| 456s | Adon is my favorite probably because she |
| 459s | hates |
| 460s | humans there are other reasons though uh |
| 464s | but there's just something about her |
| 465s | prickly nature which is just like always |
| 468s | extremely hilarious to |
| 470s | me what's that she's a hedgehog she's a |
| 472s | hedgehog apparently I hadn't seen her |
| 474s | now I can't unsee that when I go into |
| 476s | the game now thanks Carrie uh but I |
| 479s | think I mean obviously with the |
| 481s | expansion pack you see that there's |
| 483s | really cool Arc to her like going into |
| 486s | her godhood and everything like that and |
| 489s | to what extent I've worked with her and |
| 491s | written some lines for her I've tried to |
| 493s | like expand the depth of her character |
| 496s | just like a little bit and that's a fun |
| 499s | way to explore you know who she is where |
| 501s | she's coming from especially emotionally |
| 503s | like I feel like one of the more |
| 505s | interesting three-dimensional aspects of |
| 507s | her is there is this prickliness which |
| 509s | is pushing the player back a little bit |
| 512s | because the player is human but it makes |
| 514s | me ask the question like why is she so |
| 516s | prickly like is it just because she's |
| 518s | trying to keep the island safe and |
| 520s | nurture nature or is there something |
| 523s | she's not talking about yet or doesn't |
| 525s | want to talk about so anyways oh and |
| 528s | least favorite character I've actually |
| 530s | been mulling this over the whole time |
| 531s | everyone's been talking because I'm like |
| 532s | I don't know who I think I'm the type |
| 535s | personality type when there's something |
| 536s | I don't like I just forget about it so I |
| 538s | probably have a better answer somewhere |
| 540s | in my unconscious so I'll just go with |
| 542s | hapless how |
| 544s | because I |
| 547s | love wants are mushroom he seemed just a |
| 550s | bit too random and it was just like |
| 552s | after the uh the characters I met with |
| 555s | LA and Reese and Grace that sort of had |
| 558s | this Baseline and then there here's this |
| 560s | guy Who's acting in a way that seems way |
| 563s | different than the other ones and it |
| 564s | just felt like it wasn't fitting to me I |
| 567s | promise I'll go back and double check |
| 568s | and see if I have a take now but at the |
| 571s | time I remember not bonding with him as |
| 574s | much as |
| 575s | Adana so you like yeah you like the |
| 578s | prickly types not uh not the hapless |
| 580s | types I get I mean that's fair |
| 583s | discriminatory like that I know I admit |
| 585s | it |
| 586s | fully I'm sorry all of his Truffles and |
| 589s | you're just like I did steal his |
| 590s | truffles though cuz that's also the kind |
| 592s | of person I am so no one mention yonas |
| 595s | oh because he's like god tier so like |
| 597s | everyone has to like him he's awesome |
| 599s | yeah I I mean Jonas is like a he is the |
| 602s | really the first custom character we had |
| 604s | in the game so he's like yeah and he's |
| 607s | maintained um but yonas is an awesome |
| 609s | character and I think the voice actor |
| 610s | for that a he's a great actor and like |
| 613s | it's you know I think we need more you |
| 615s | know we need more characters like yonas |
| 617s | actually like more representation |
| 618s | because we yonas is African and that |
| 621s | makes him an interesting character we |
| 622s | didn't explore that too much in his |
| 624s | character but it's something that uh |
| 626s | that I think we we want to do more of |
| 627s | we've we've talked about it with some of |
| 628s | our future Zone |
| 631s | um a lot of the characters which we've |
| 634s | spoken about they're from msq and |
| 636s | they're from like side quests but um |
| 640s | even like with the ambient NPCs the one |
| 643s | that really stands out for me is Bella |
| 647s | Ruby |
| 649s | because um even though she has a small |
| 653s | part her entire wish of wanting to look |
| 658s | how she feels |
| 660s | inside connects with the cops Crone and |
| 664s | makes everything more um believable and |
| 670s | I love that she does that even in that |
| 673s | little part and they are like I wrote |
| 677s | her so |
| 679s | yay and then there's dog who has no |
| 682s | lines and is just amazing dog dog is |
| 686s | best is his best boy yeah there's a lot |
| 688s | of great characters Seasons that we're |
| 690s | not even touching on yeah um for sure |
| 694s | Xander Xander is great too we also all |
| 697s | forgot about bames bar bares yes of |
| 700s | course Rebecca you know Rebecca kind of |
| 702s | brought that was her dog's name right I |
| 704s | think that's where they came from um so |
| 707s | yeah a lot of folks who've contributed |
| 709s | uh to this experience these characters |
| 711s | um who were not here but who were |
| 712s | awesome and who made a huge difference |
