| 100s | the patch notes but rest assured you |
| 103s | will get all of that back |
| 105s | cool yeah and so now let's dig into the |
| 108s | lore a little bit because |
| 109s | I did my part |
| 113s | so players who played through the main |
| 115s | story will of course remember that uh |
| 118s | Ariana was this mysterious Huntress who |
| 121s | joined players and uh and helped them |
| 122s | out a little bit in forging the race off |
| 124s | staff and becoming a soul Warden |
| 126s | um and eventually in the story The |
| 128s | Players have to kind of cross Ariana in |
| 130s | their fight against corruption |
| 132s | um they they start getting hints early |
| 134s | on the adiana may not be exactly just |
| 137s | what she appears to be like this |
| 138s | mysterious human Huntress and then in |
| 140s | Brimstone Sands we learned that she is |
| 144s | actually an ancient she's the ancient |
| 145s | known as Artemis and she is very very |
| 148s | mad about what players did in poisoning |
| 150s | the motherwell in the main story I mean |
| 152s | we did what we had to do yeah so it's |
| 155s | just kind of shut up a little bit you |
| 157s | know |
| 158s | it's classic player moves I'm like I'm |
| 160s | gonna do the oh no |
| 162s | oh no what did I do and it's a very fun |
| 164s | carrot that we've kind of put in front |
| 166s | of the player to lead them through these |
| 168s | stories and |
| 170s | be able to surprise folks and build a |
| 174s | more chaotic entry into Gods yeah no as |
| 179s | a Storyteller I always love the |
| 180s | opportunity to give the player the |
| 182s | chance to contradict in fact we kind of |
| 184s | force you to contradict what the NPC is |
| 186s | telling you you know so often quests are |
| 187s | just like hey go do this thing in this |
| 189s | case she's like no absolutely not do not |
| 191s | go do that thing and then the player is |
| 193s | going to do it and uh and so it feels |
| 195s | fun and of course that's why the players |
| 197s | have created the scenario that's now |
| 199s | looking like it may turn into an |
| 200s | apocalypse |
| 202s | um and that's because first light Ariana |
| 204s | has invaded first light with the angry |
| 206s | earth now she's revealed to be Artemis |
| 209s | um and there's this Bramble wall That's |
| 211s | gone up around it and so players can't |
| 213s | even see what's going on in there |
| 216s | um and you'll get you'll hear glimpses |
| 219s | of weird things happening if you listen |
| 221s | closely one you buy it and I think you |
| 223s | can see like just a little bit through |
| 225s | some of the vines but yeah you can see |
| 228s | the vegetation but there's definitely a |
| 230s | lot more waiting Beyond than vegetation |
| 232s | all vegetables so this is vegetarian now |
| 235s | oh oh |
| 237s | no oh and then and then the vegetation |
| 240s | is of course changing because part of |
| 241s | what you know Ariana is doing she's I |
| 244s | mean she's changing the world here she |
| 245s | has a vision of what the world will look |
| 247s | like when your Humanity who she's |
| 250s | determined is the weak link that uh that |
| 253s | keeps allowing corruption back into the |
| 254s | world and she said if we want to fight |
| 256s | corruption forever we got to get rid of |
| 258s | humanity and so her vision of this world |
| 261s | yeah just direct line well yeah that |
| 264s | makes sense humans are responsible for |
| 265s | all the evils particularly from the |
| 267s | perspective of nature keep getting |
| 268s | corrupted too so it's |
| 270s | the angry Earth don't get corrupted no |
| 272s | no we're very kind to view of looking at |
| 275s | the world |
| 279s | she even gives you a lecture about the |
| 281s | uh the human ego and how it makes you so |
| 283s | susceptible to corruption because you're |
| 285s | so easily tricked into uh into false |
| 288s | Pride you know I believe it because a |
| 290s | lot of our players have said that they |
| 292s | want to play for the corruption so I |
| 294s | mean Isabella is a really really |
| 296s | tempting individual to follow it's true |
| 298s | she's a very strong leader yeah and she |
| 300s | was one of the first ones that we did |
| 302s | cinematic for when we |
| 304s | um at the in Tempest so there's one that |
| 307s | plays at the very end and that was our |
| 308s | foray into it and do we get any with |
| 311s | Ariana |
| 312s | ah yeah surprise yes uh we got a couple |
| 317s | like simple ones in Brimstone Sands but |
| 319s | uh but with first light without giving |
| 321s | away too much |
| 322s | um there will certainly be you know some |
| 324s | pretty awesome scenes to show off like |
| 326s | her transition into this arch villain to |
| 329s | show you more about her plans |
| 332s | um and even to show you some of the |
| 333s | Allies she's recruited to her side that |
| 335s | are very interesting new characters onto |
| 337s | the scene yeah that's super awesome yeah |
| 340s | [Music] |
| 341s | um and uh and then of course we have the |
| 344s | uh one of the things that is is there |
| 346s | even right away as season two goes live |
| 348s | is that some of the characters who were |
| 350s | in first light who you you may or may |
| 351s | not remember some of the survivalist |
| 353s | survivalist riches uh Constable Oaks who |
| 356s | could forget Oaks and riches I am yeah I |
| 360s | could How Could you |
| 362s | um don't forget and uh so those |
| 365s | characters uh at least a couple of them |
| 367s | have actually escaped from first light |
| 368s | before the Bramble ball went up and if |
| 370s | you hunt them down I think particular uh |
| 372s | uh barkeep Gunter Rost is uh is out |
| 376s | there and may give you a little bit more |
| 378s | detail on what's going on behind the |
| 379s | Bramble wall and uh and then later on uh |
| 382s | we might have to find you know out what |
| 385s | happened to the rest of the folks in |
| 386s | first light might might be kind of |
| 388s | grisly is it are they okay sure oh no I |
| 393s | mean nobody dies on a tournament right |
| 395s | exactly oh yeah that's true so they are |
| 398s | okay unless she's figured out some way |
| 400s | to like |
| 407s | like that's the thing once you create a |
| 409s | character she runs away that's right |
| 410s | that's right she made these choices all |
| 413s | by hers Isabelle's fault so like I'm |
| 415s | sure it's really interesting blame |
| 417s | Isabella it's always her you know |
| 420s | honestly though for a really long time |
| 421s | it very much what says yeah true true |
| 423s | yeah it's nice to have a new flavor of |
| 426s | powerful individuals stepping in and |
| 428s | absolutely taking some of that Spotlight |
| 430s | away from Isabella yeah I mean I think |
| 433s | Isabella had a had a solid motivation |
| 435s | but I I what I love about Adriana's |
| 437s | motivation is that it does have to do |
| 439s | with the player's own actions it has a |
| 441s | very it's grounded in this sense of like |
| 443s | hey like mankind is a defiled nature |
| 446s | yeah observe what's coming to them um so |
| 448s | she's a very sympathetic villain I think |
| 450s | it's worth pointing out that we we uh we |
| 452s | need some more male Arch villains in our |
| 454s | game we've even been called out there's |
| 456s | a lot of uh really cruel females here |
| 459s | um I don't know where that came from it |
| 460s | definitely wasn't me |
| 462s | you just tell me a job |
| 466s | the uh we've got some I mean Thorpe but |
| 469s | you know Thorpe doesn't quite I think |
| 471s | he's not as tough as Isabella and it's |
| 473s | not as tough as it can be yeah he's |
| 475s | getting better though yeah he's been |
| 477s | he's getting some Cinema he's gone |
| 478s | through it he has gone through it yeah I |
| 482s | mean he's still like the most iconic |
| 483s | symbol of the game I think oh definitely |
| 485s | and I know that players want to fight |
| 488s | him again for sure |
| 490s | yes but how do we bring him back again |
| 492s | like how many times do you have to fight |
| 494s | him I think we've got three times in the |
| 495s | game right now do it again so you've got |
| 498s | to get more intimidating so we gotta I |
| 500s | think we hinted in uh into the Tempest |
| 502s | Reckoning how yeah what his fate may be |
| 504s | in the future yeah um and that's fun |
| 506s | stuff to play with going forward and of |
| 509s | course we'll have like once the |
| 510s | expansion goes Live players will get to |
| 512s | go behind the Bramble wall and see |
| 513s | what's actually transpired in first |
| 514s | light yeah um The Zone may even have a |
| 517s | new name |
| 519s | um |
| 522s | and you know I |
| 524s | went off slate right right |
| 526s | you can just do whatever she wants |
| 529s | exactly well it's actually pretty cool I |
| 532s | mean what we're doing here is suggesting |
| 534s | that the world's evolving as the result |
| 536s | of the player's actions these are big |
| 537s | changes in a Tire Zone has changed over |
| 540s | in a new story takes place there |
| 542s | um and you know this is it'll be |
| 544s | interesting to see how players react to |
| 545s | this and if they like this kind of thing |
| 546s | and we get to do more of it yeah that's |
| 549s | awesome yeah it's been a lot of fun |
| 551s | especially uh getting all the talent |
| 554s | back into the booth to record |
| 555s | we we allow them to do some degree of |
| 559s | line changes as we're doing records |
| 560s | because they know the characters so well |
| 562s | they lived in those characters for over |
| 564s | two years now especially our Artemis |
| 566s | voice actor see she's an absolute black |
| 569s | yeah she's it's so good uh she just gets |
| 573s | it you sit in and go hey here's what |
| 575s | we're doing she goes oh I get to be the |
| 577s | villain now it just sinks into it and |
| 580s | you can see her enjoying and like |
| 582s | believing what she's saying it's more |
| 585s | than just putting on a performance like |
| 587s | there's weight and gravity to it so I'm |
| 589s | I'm very stoked to actually like hear |
| 591s | her in the space see all the different |
| 593s | ways that she's changed things and like |
| 596s | how she's progressed through the stories |
| 598s | yeah that's really cool yeah and that's |
| 600s | each time we do like these major revamps |
| 603s | like we were doing to the msqr that we |
| 606s | continue to do with the msq yeah |
| 608s | um and every time we do something big |
| 610s | like this it's going to be those you |
| 613s | know that Talent getting in there I |
| 615s | didn't know actually that they go in and |
| 616s | they kind of like adjust based on what |
| 619s | they think that the character would do |
| 620s | but that's awesome yeah that's really |
| 622s | cool it brings more |
| 624s | believability to the characters makes |
| 626s | them feel much more human and easier to |
| 629s | sympathize with and it's not as |
| 630s | artificial as like oh this sounds good |
| 632s | on paper yeah but well always when we |
| 635s | get actors who are you know different |
| 636s | ethnicities or Heritage like sometimes |
| 639s | we've had an Irish actress come in and |
| 641s | be like oh no that's not the way an |
| 642s | Irish person can see this let me tell |
| 644s | you and she's she's helped us get the |
| 646s | lines better |
| 647s | um so I think it's a it's always a fun |
| 649s | process creative input from all around |
| 651s | that's that's all valid it's all super |
| 653s | helpful and it makes the end product a |
| 655s | lot better yeah very cool definitely so |
| 658s | all that going on for season two |
| 660s | um I think we close now with a community |
| 662s | question |
| 664s | um and I think our communicate question |
| 665s | we want to go with is uh what other uh |
| 668s | storytelling beats what other aspects |
| 670s | the lore are you most interested in |
| 671s | hearing about |
| 673s | um and uh just let us know and we'll uh |
| 676s | we'll answer those questions in time and |
| 678s | make sure to like And subscribe if you |
| 680s | like what we're talking about because |
| 681s | we'll keep doing it |
| 684s | now though those Quest givers they'll |
| 687s | move with you so if they send you to |
| 688s | somewhere they're probably gonna tag |
| 689s | along uh using season two as an example |
| 692s | now you're plugging up geysers to unlock |
| 693s | secret Chambers you're placing crystals |
| 696s | to unlock Maps that'll tell you where to |
| 698s | go like it's much more in depth and I |
| 700s | think it really helps sell our narrative |
| 702s | uh in a really good way |
