No matter how long it's been, no matter how many times I see it, Scanlans counterspell will slways break my heart.

Campaign 2 is gonna be a BEAST as a cartoon.

The encounter with the hag really should be a montage (and if they don't make a reference to The Naked Gun, I will understand but I will be disappointed).

Travis is a low key scary mfer, plays the "fool" easy but you can see in real life all of his fafo moments over the years in game are real core, "Nah, you aint f'in with my people"

Caduceus's Divine Intervention will always be one of the most emotional moments in the campaign for me. The players' reactions just tug at my heartstrings and "Whatever it was, put it back. I think they've earned it. Put it back" is one of my favourite lines in history and hits so hard. Caduceus is awesome!

Caleb offering the beacon COMPLETELY flipped the outcome MAJORLY, if he hadn't done it we probably wouldn't have seen so much in Xhorhas, wouldn't have gotten the "Xhorhaus", and probably wouldn't have seen Essek as much, let alone see him get together with Caleb. Also wouldn't have had the Bright Queens support when the need for it came. (They did more than just the beacon, but it was still a HUGE step to put them in gaining favor with the Bright Queen)

I think the cupcake move was a master piece

Before I began watching this I knew that the cupcake would be here. It is literally the most incredibly unforseen moment in CR.

If I remember right, Yasha's offering to the resurrection ritual for Molly was her book of flowers but her roll failed. That was the most heartbreaking thing ever considering how precious that book was to her.

I feel like the "Caleb handing over the beacon" moment is gonna be very different in the animated series. At least the mood will cause it seems like the show is only gonna have 1 beacon

31:20 "Whatever it was, just put it back. I think they've earned it. Put it back." Man, I don't even have the context, and I'm weeping.

SO happy Fjord's moment is in here as number 5, I loved this entire scene sooooo much. Fjord is one of my two favorites from the Mighty Nein and I feel like critters don't appreciate his moments as much compared to other super dramatic ones from C2!

I can’t wait to see the dodecahedron scene animated.

Cupcake all day every day. I watched it live and my group nearly flipped a table.

22:39 this moment when the entire cast realizes she can save herself warms my heart because sometimes they treat her like a child which is fair but jester being able to save herself makes me happy to the point that when the whole cast realizes I may have said get it girl you don’t need no man 😅

At 20:21 Matt's character is about to eat shyt

i mean the moment i cannot forget is from campaign 1, when thew climb the tower on the stone titan, dont want to spoil for anyone but when they climb the tower and see the 2 guards standing there and directly kill them,.... that was INSANE! i have never started screaming from watching a tv episode before, also in campaign 3... assault on the key.. dont you even dare.. is goosebump worthy

@daywho46 1 year ago

How they don't have any of these in here is wild to me

The Green Dragon reveal - Campaign 1

Vax and Rocxasa Gilmore conflict - campaign 1

Thomara (Titan) "guard" murders - campaign 1

Molly Mauks death - campaign 2
