It provoked defiance in me. “Go on then, tell me my real name and how you plan to get into my world, otherwise I’ll resurrect your friends and use a weak fire spell to slowly burn them, over and over. And then you’ll be next.” Because 8/10 times I’m playing a mage build. And in games like Skyrim where you can mix things up, even my warrior characters are more like Paladins with healing magic included. And destruction magic so I can fling spells at them pesky dragons.
"I wish us guards were as strong as you!" +blasts him into the astral plains+ This is so true in so many games :)

I remember when EverQuest first came out. The guards and NPCs were a bit above the average level of the players in whatever area. This was fine for a day or two. Then players realized they could go back to lower level areas and slaughter all the NPCs and deny access for the new players. So the guards got bumped up a little, but this didn't completely solve the problem, so they bumped them up again. Fast forward a few years... and players would drag world bosses into newbie zones so that the guards would help kill the dragon or whatever. The eventual fix for _that_ problem was creating an exclusion zone for the world bosses.. in other words, as long as the world bosses were inside "their" area, everything was fine. If you pulled a world-boss out, it would warp back to the start and fully reset to full health. What happened next? One guild would get the 'tag' on the world boss before a rival guild could arrive. The rival guild would put all their effort into getting the aggro, then would drag it to the exclusion zone.. The boss would teleport back to its area, reset, and the rival guild would "tag" it and take over.

There's a player character named "The Wind" out there with a really high bounty.
Holy god, Rowan's "Are you enjoying yourself?" monologue was lowkey chilling. Liam Neeson couldn't have delivered that better.
12:25 the fact that rowan is the only guard that have consciousness but still pretending makes it even better
The one where everyone turns into a guard is hilarious. Rowan just yelling " For the alliance" in 10 different ways
"you there, f you" is the greatest line in this series of skits. Absolute gold. To be clear the rest of it was great as well.

@@zerobolt9506 There is a limit to what you can do but since all weapons function the exact same way and are one-hit kills, you might as well use your fists which doesn't count as a kill. I remember filling an entire plaza in AC Revelation with unconscious civilians multiple times. Turns out, some NPC have absurd amounts of money you can pickpocket and if they come back to fight you, it's fair game to beat them up.

Garlic farmer has seen some serious shit in life.

I typically avoid MMOs but I very briefly had some experience with some random one at some point (I don't remember what it was called) where I experienced something like the "useless guard" skit. Some other players attacked me near the edge of town. Just barely outside of what the game counted as being part of the town, apparently. I went a mere 2 or 3 steps towards a nearby guard expecting it to attack my attackers for fighting in the town. The guard killed ME "for fighting in the town" and ignored them. Some sort of edge case / loophole in the way they coded it. I was put into combat mode automatically for being attacked but I was the only one within range to get aggro from the guards for it.

i love these compilations they’re really a throwback to some older episodes
Guards are either very disposable cannon fodder or extremely over powered. There's no in between.
Rowan's consistency when it comes to delivering those lines is impressive, especially considering some of the videos are years apart.
just a teeny tiny thing, the names got swapped in the last scenes where the new player (Ben) was level 15 and the more experienced player (Britt) was a level 2... and honestly I'd love to play a game set in Honeywood with you guys as characters, looks so great 🙏💙

I wonder if we'll ever meet the king?
Compilations like these truly shows how many updates Skycraft has gotten: Started with the guards looking identical, but now they have different skins.
15:10 this one singular skit is hands down my absolute FAVORITE of the entire NPC Man collection. It makes me laugh every single time I watch it. Rowan just yells "you there fk you!" and obliterates Ben, LoL! It makes me LoL even just remembering it, LoL 🤣🤣🤣
"Must've been the wind" is every guards favorite lone before death no matter what game you play😂😂😂😂

1:50 its funny how the NPC, can be so much more NPC, than the other NPC that was already NPCing when the NPC walked up.
10:30 Now we know how the guard was able to kill the Watcher, he leveled up in a prequel.
So crazy seeing how far they've came from the early videos to today. You can see it all in this compilation and it's great to see. They deserve all the praise and fans they've gained
In FFXIV there is a new duty that has you accompany an NPC at some point who growls out "FOR KING AND COUNTRY!" during fights as well. And I cannot help myself but reflexively reply "For the peace of the kingdom!" and, when charging a new enemy "YOU THERE! FUCK YOU!"
You guys are so incredibly creative. Always puts a smile on face watching. Thank you 😊
8:18. - guard : watch out for bandits out there / guy : they are right in front of you, man!!! !
Around 13:00, that would be utterly brilliant to put in a real RPG
That "Stupid Guards" is one of my favourites. It's like they are programmed to be stupid but they do sense and understand everything. Creepy though 😅
"Someone's bringing laughs and creating amazing works of art 'round here! "
8:45 Teachers when the bullied kid fights back:
That moment in a game when a guard spots you, and you put on a different hat. Wait, you're not the same person I just saw! My apologies, carry on!
I like imagining that all these columns were left over from lotr, and vldl are like the characters in lotr running over the ruins of a greater society that fought and fell long ago.
Everything involving the guards have got to be some of my absolute favorite VLDL skits ever! Also, the fact that they started with that first one makes me happy. That was THE first VLDL video I ever saw, just mindlessly scrolling Facebook, and immediately went on a binge!
I also love when the guy baits the guard into killing the daemon, but then the guard gets all the HP and EXP points and then comes after the first guy at 3x the speed.

1:41 The reason the arrow doesn't hurt is because the guard doesn't have/need a brain.
