The ULTIMATE Recap of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (RECAPitation) #dragonsdogma #darkarisen

More like the Arizzen with all the ladies he's rescuing. I love how even into the end the Arisen is shocked and surprised by the more and more incredulous things they do and see. Also, I really like how this story starts as a typical 'chosen one'/'hero's journey' but soon subverts that it becomes an exploration on the horrible fates of other 'chosen ones' as they all end up dead, insane, corrupted or miserable, and no Arisen really gets a happy ending or gets out of the cycle. :_brutalBow::_missile::_bmDance:

"Stunlocked by blast arrows" got me hard. most pure lore. Ready for Dragon`s Dogma 2 are we?!

“As Julian takes off his mask to reveal that he’s Julian.” This is too funny. Thanks for the recap and making it entertaining as well

“The Arisen leaps from the balcony, takes no fall damage, and flees” I want everything narrated like this

Your incorporation of pawn quotes is fantastic. Awesome job man.

All of the quotes was an insanely nice touch. I couldn’t stop giggling. They truly were masterworks all!

First of all I want to thank you for this, I was unable to play the original game but now find myself somehow owning the new game. There's so many "The story in 10 minutes" videos which if I know ANYTHING about Dragon's Dogma I know it can't just be summed up like that. Really the video should be hours but, I truly appreciate your attention to detail, keeping things concise, and keeping it all humorous. Second I really want to give a shout-out to "The Arisen leaps from the balcony, takes no fall damage, and flees." Fucking, HIGHLIGHT of my night. Thanks for that. I will be referencing that for years.

Man, you definitely deserve your own pawn from Capcom for this perfect translation of the story with witty lines from the in game characters.

Dragon's Dogma is an absolute tragedy. It's the definition of something "ahead of its time" much like the PSVita. This essentially being a hardcore rpg adventure like Skyrim with good combat, interesting character progression, cool mechanics and interactions that ground the game in reality. It's as if the creators looked at Dungeons and Dragons and said "let's turn that into action game", then took all the material, condensed what is relevant and delivered an incredibly respectful adaptation. When I see games like Baldur's Gate 3 get this much praise, I can only hope people give the same love to DD2. I'd kill for Capcom to notice the potential it has with its RPG franchises and would absolutely love to see a continuation or even a FF7Re treatment to the Breath of Fire series.

He even quoted Into Free! He can't keep getting away with this!

I have always interpreted the self stabbing to have been a failure at ending the cycle for two reasons: 1. When beating the game in ng+ offline your previus Arisen will be seen as the seneschal hinting that even after everything there was no escape. 2. When the seneschal gives the Arisen the godsbane blade, the weapon is pulled from the chest wich is also where the Arisen later would stab themself. Which leads me to belive that a Arisen is given the blade to kill the previus seneschal, but attempting to do so on themself results in a completion of "seneschal hood" as the blade is united with the new seneschal makeing them all powerfull but also trapping them until the next Arisen shows up.

Great summary , especialy since you've included the 2 optionnal story quests that can lead toward a mistaken interpretation of the ending if you miss them. This is a job well done.

I internally hear a vine boom every time you quote a pawn or npc. You did a good job keeping me on my toes. I never knew when the next quote would pop up lol

yooo im 8 mins in i just had to pause.. DUDE i love that you are using all the Pawn quotes as you tell the story!

Lmao the pawn quotes made me love this video

I just finished the game for the first time, and had barely half a clue what was going on. This cleared up a lot (and showed me that I missed quite a few quests)! Thanks! The pawn quotes show you're a true fan. They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong

Can't go wrong with these videos. Masterworks all!

Thanks so much for doing this games story justice. I always hear people bash this games story and say it’s only worth playing for the gameplay and I always have to argue against that mentality. While the presentation of the games story wasn’t always done in the best ways, if you take the time to experience it (specifically, making it to the very end of the game with the everfall and all that) it’s an absolutely phenomenal story and one of my personal favorites of all time.

Best recap on YouTube

I love this channel so much. It is quite possibly my favourite channel on all of YouTube. Thank you for all that you've done, and I wish the best for all that you may do in the future.
