Elden Ring - The NPCs have unique faces again 

You are a blessing Zullie!

minor spoiler warning, but i'd like to ask: But what about the melina you can summon to help in the morgott boss fight?

@@gohunt001-5 Isn't she still using a unique model there?

@@gohunt001-5 That's still a unique model, even if she looks fairly similar to the player.

@@ZullietheWitch ah ok, that explains it, thanks!

Little D :P

@@indigo7898 who told you??

One is D one is Devin I believe

@@chudwick8814 Yep, Darian and Devin. In D2's speech after killing Fia he reveals his brother to be named Darian. If you kill D1 for whatever reason he will mention is brother Devin.

D´Arby and d´arby

I love you Skumnut

@@gamerslice8242 luv you too ;)

Unga Bunga

Was expecting more of a Cr1tikal face tbh

Well he's meant to be a tiny giant according to the lore of his sword, not a human so makes sense.

Rule 34 gonna go wild

sellen has that strict english teacher quality to her

Tbh, old Swllwn looks better than new Sellen, I guess she doesn't care too much afterwards.....

So glad my sorcerer mom is hot

It's such a shame what happened to her.

Gael's model, underneath all the hair looks like a pretty spot on Patrick Stewart. Fitting since Gael is inspired by Lord Yupa, which Stewart voiced in the English dub.

Too many, i would say.

And the fastest way to get to him is through Fort Gael.

Like the blind Irina of Morne being a callback to the blind Irina of Carim and Eygon, who bears the Morne armor

@@crestfallenhussar895 Jerren is in Redmane castle, but Fort Gael is undoubtedly also a reference

Me currently hunched over my remote "hmm yes"

Or Fia without her iconic underwear.

@@ChwiztidAYO

Prob is that most people might have the psn or Xbox name vs charname active

@@jahcreator I play on PC, I'm fairly sure in game names are default on this platform but I might be wrong

@@jahcreator no i‘m on ps4 and i noticed that the names are more „elden ring“ like. It‘s not like someone would have their psn name cuz when i get invaded they don‘t have names like Xx_Pu$$yDestroyer_xX or smth like that. They have names that would already be taken and they couldn‘t use. So in short: i think the elden ring names are being shown

@@daboirouka1671 Correct the default setting is character name. You can change it to PSN account in the game settings.

@@chillinon3263 if you're on pc you can't swap to steam name anyways. So yeah, people would only see character name

Rya even copies her hairstyle. Goddamn amazing.

Well the medallion is a cameo brooch and those have the faces of the giver or the reciever carved onto them

@@vakar9779 It's nice to see the similarity between Tanith's in-game face and the medallion though, it's a nice attention to detail

She looks like Princess Leia

they do stuff like this but don't lip sync dialogue lol

Which makes it kinda odd that you can give your character golden eyes with the character creator.

I find it strange that Morgott has golden eyes tho. His title is "grace-given", but isn't the definition of omen "a creature born without grace"? Unless he earned the grace but it's said that the Erdtree never loved him.

I had my character's eyes golden for a while, then toned it down a bit, and have since switched to another color entirely. guess I've truly become a graceless tarnished

I give my characters heterochromia, they only have one gold eye. I figure a "Chosen Tarnished" still has some of the Erdtree's blessing, and why the PC stands out apart from other tarnished as still being able to see the Guidance of Grace.

@@DesertDuc i fucking loved this idea, gonna do that to my character too

Technicly you can see his brothers face moving the camera around where he is before the.valient gargoyles

PEAK is what you climb.

Agree. Fromsoft takes pride in their work with strong attention to detail. If only other developers could do the same.

@@rhapsody5645 they've got rough edges too. We forgive things we don't forgive in other games because of the amount of fun we're having.

we like to peek under girl panties too, so they gave Fia a sexy one

@joel park Sadly is a cut content.. but thankfully PC masterrace can spawn it via CE, unlike console peasants hehe

Just like Mark Zuckerberg.

Damn that's a really good one!

Sounds like something Gideon would do. In fact, considering it's said he knew Seluvis, he may have employed his skills, only to swear bloody vengeance when Seluvis went ahead and took Dolores (just about the only person described as Gideon's friend) as "payment".

But in the box art also appears the corpse of Nepheli Loux

@@jonsinatra3194 its not clear if its Nephely, nor its clear if the body is Ensha itself, you can Also see Jerren's set it doesnt mean is him. Clapper and others like taking their own theories as facts, during development, and even between the beta test and the release of the game many changes where made, for example there is lines of dialogue form Jerren recorded in Yura's voice, Jerren was actually located where Yura is and the Blacksmith was located on the shack where you find Roderika..... they change things so much i don't think they intended for this bodies in the cover to be specifically the same characters than the ones in the retail version. its fun to specualete tho.

@@jonsinatra3194is that who the third corpse is? I was able to identify Jiren and Ensha but not her.

Zullie doing the hard work so we get more Deep Lore!

They've been doing it since demon souls.

@@kevinvu5432 Video title: "The NPCs have unique faces again" They may have had faces under the masks in Demon's Souls, but not every Soulsborne FromSoft game

@@TheSeanieboy222 yes. They have it for EVERY souls game. Look it up. They do this every game. The only I don't remember is dark souls 2 but that's the only exception.

I get the feeling that the people who work on assets for these games aren't in direct or consistent contact with people who make decisions on what will be in the final game. There's seemingly infinite content that clearly took a lot of time and effort to make but simply can't ever be seen without data mining.

I wonder too if all three Selens have different faces? The one we meet beyond Pumpkin Head, the one imprisoned, and the new bodied one. Not sure which of the first two was shown in this video or if it matters at all.

The projection would just have the face of the original.

@@alberttus2328 The one you meet beyond pumpkin head is sort of an astral projection for the one that is imprisoned, so not sure why she would have a different face.

@@Zantetsu13 yeah I get conceptually one is a projection of the other. But given that they are literally two separate npc models, I'm curious if they are the same. Probably, for the sake of those who would mine the game as seen here in this video, but I didn't even imagine the later body double would have a different face so my question stands still.

We need a mod to see all those pretty faces! Damn it!

He's IRISH

@@hazmat2823 in my mind I was thinking “he looks like a leprechaun” and now reading your comment makes me feel awful 💀

His quest may be added back along with the gladiator arena quest

The Dung Eater was even worse, IMO. He looks like a player-made abomination.

Looks like elder scrolls sheogorath specifically from the DLC from oblivion but more mad.

Not only killing him but paralyzing him from the waist down.

Same thing with Bogart!

@@sugarhoneyicetea3040 yeah

IKR? The second I saw Rogier my mind went "holy fuck date me please, we can talk about sorcery all you want-"

I'm usually not attracted to game characters. However

Please don't call Darian "D hunter".

@@en-men-lu-ana6870 aren't we all hunting for some D in our lives

I love Dung Eater. He's honest that he said he will kill player to the face, unlike some NPC who pretend to be friendly but will invade you anyway.

Dung Eater overal face shape and hairstyle reminds me of Wyald from Berserk. And it aligns with his personality a bit because Wyald would with great joy violate you before and after killing you.

@@chillax319 He overall reminds me of some prehistoric hobo Fits him really well

She kinda bad 😩

@@WowUrSuchABot frfr

Oh no, she’s hot!

@@WowUrSuchABot by the voice I already knew she was I did all her quest ...and funny a lot of people killed her when they first saw her lol.

I think Sellen might be my new waifu.

The illustrious Sellen would never do such things..." -Thops, my man of culture!

I mean dodging + ranged is their thing so it makes sense Also Sellen is pretty hot👍

I noticed that none of them are wearing shoes, which annoys me more than it logically should.

@@TheGirlInFandomWorld same here

@@TheGirlInFandomWorld the feet must can't be contained

@@KABLAMMATS I know it's fantasy, but you couldn't pay me to travel barefoot through the Lands Between.

Likewise, mate!

Same, he was a true bro

@@vshiki4872 he was a simp

bro got fucked to dead

Varre looks like a seedy car salesman.

I like how Rya's posture kinda foreshadows that she's actually a lizardwoman

rya as snakelady is so cute tho. shame she didn't stay for long.

@@johant73 I saw it as an absolute Win, was more annoyed with her wanting to kill herself, despite having what seems like a loving foster mother, unlike some warrior chick who thought she had an adoptive father but was just using her. But you couldn't really "win" either way, either she forgets what she knew, and the manor is emptied of people going elsewhere, or you kill her.

@@Ruleradminius if you leave her after she asks you to kill her and kill rykard and come back, she will instead leave a letter saying that she is going on a journey to better herself

@@Ruleradminius She actually gets a happy ending. leaves you a letter thanking you and calling you her champion (as opposed to how the word champion is always used in a fake way in the manor. for once someone actually MEANS it.)

Ok

@@arcanefire7511 ok

I agree that most of them look like you would expect for one that stands out in particular: Gideon

i must be pretty shit at picturing face to voices then cause all of them looked completely different to how i imagines lmao

@@rhysthecreator4065 That makes sense, because there's no connection to how a person looks to how they sound lol.

Seriously, in so many other games we have to make the tough choice between giving Patches the punch in the face he so rightly deserves or retaining him as a useful merchant with funny dialogue. Elden Ring is the cake we get to both have and eat.

A beautiful face behind a mask make it more beautiful when being revealed.

I don't know if I'm kind of alone with this, but I've always felt more disconnected from a lot of FromSoftware characters because they were ALWAYS in armour, not even removing helmets or raising masks at all, so they felt less human.

@@mastermarkus5307 i feel slightly the same way, that's why i love lucatiel in ds2 because she actually takes off her mask and throws it on the ground and its really cool

@@mastermarkus5307: To some extent for many FromSoft NPCs, their helmets/masks might as well be their faces, which can make that gear all the more iconic. I mean, I can scarcely even imagine chatting with onion-bro actually face-to-face.

@@EmeralBookwise agreed. Characters like Siegward/meyer and Solaire and often associated with their armor. It basically is their face. Same with bosses like Ornstein and Smough or Artorias. Eventually like you said, the helmet essentially is the face. For a non Souls comparison, think Darth Vader.

Interesting that Mohg's symbol, his pitchfork, may also represent three fingers, and a form of Mohg guards the depths that keep the Three fingers sealed. While Mohg desires to be the Lord of Blood, you can become the Lord of Frenzied Flame.

I thought it would be a cool reference to the spear "Trishula" so i have it on my character. Didn't know that it was used by blood worshipers lol

It looks like a dick, and I consider myself an expert, having seen many dick doodles in my time

@@BelovedMonstrosity loool

@@foxtopuscreations6046 I read that the Mohg Omen in the sewers was an illusion made by Morgott, haven't checked myself to see how accurate that is.

RIGHT? A nice personality AND a handsome face? Unbeatable

Best boy, and he's one of the few characters that survive, with proper precautions.

Best boy Boggart

@@user-kl9dd7xo2q It's not HIS questline, it's Dung Eater's.

Thx dude, appreciate it

I really feel that D is a reference to Vampire Hunter D, with his purging of undead and whatnot.

Yeah, looks like one of those albanaurics or whatever you call them too.

He's got a case of isekai protagonist face

His younger brother looks older.

@@kasra8255 That's exactly what i said

Armored Core, Demon's Souls, DS1, Bloodborne, DS3 and now Elden Ring. What's the seventh game?

@@TRSRM Dark Souls 2. Sure, he's a double characer in that game but Creighton and Pate are him if we think about it.

@@mareczek00713 That’s like me saying, your me if you think about, since you have similar characteristics even though we were created by different people.

@@rayrd3927 And they were created by the same person - contrary to us.

@@mareczek00713 Miyazaki was not the game director of Dark Souls 2. Why do you think it was so different?

He was also the voice of the Crestfallen Knights of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 2! Not to mention he voiced Domhnall of Zena in DS1, he's a real veteran of the series and I was so glad to hear his voice in Elden Ring too :)

@@lofimonkeyjazz I absolutely loved Domhnall of Zena and I remember the person who was playing the game alongside me was hyping Thops up so hard, I went to go talk to him and when it clicked that it was the same guy I absolutely lost it with happiness. I'm so glad he was in this game.

It's Joshua Tomar

It's a good questline, especially with that ending...

at least he has a pretty successful cooking channel in his ending

Anri's was always mine one of the few you could help especially if you turn away from the wedding

I knew. Soon as I heard her speak, I knew.

@@MarkHogan994 first thing you thought of ?

@@thotslayer9493 First thing I thought of was her literally pushing my face to the ground with her foot.

I thought the same thing, she’s fiine

Lanya and Sellen, MY TEAM! Edit: Sellen’s og body/face is the one I’m referring to.

I think Lanya is going to the win best girl award though

Lanya😍

Both Sellen* Hell I might fire up a new character and make her lol

read the armor description you get from Ensha

@@KynElwynn Yeah but how the world works or rather barely works in Elden Ring it's hard to assume how old people really are with how death does not work properly anymore and such.

For some reason I always thought Ensha was a woman.

its cool though, i think it kinda implies hes been serving gideon for a very long time. plus the idea of an assassin who has lived long enough to grow old is cool

@@chillax319 I’d assume the physical age of people who are past their prime is how old they were when Destined Death was stolen by Ranni and given to Malekith. Their aging was immediately paused while people still growing up have their aging paused when they are at their physically most capable. If this hypothesis is true and age isn’t just cosmetic, it’s extremely commendable for the characters in Elden Ring who are physically older - even the ones in their middle ages - to be surviving and even campaigning for Elden Lordship like Ofnir.

Almost break my heart to give him the key…

@@rudeandinconsiderate9817 Don't. If Thops gets the key, he works hard and proves to all those snobs in Caria that he was right about barriers and they can eat dung. :p

aren't they suppose to be twins?

Idk about "younger", definitely more rugged, since the twin is literally living like a hobo when you find him.

Look tomar that's you

"Hey Tomar, what would you do if you had to swear an oath to a giant little character with aids and host a festival to have a bunch of other funny little characters to kill him??"

Thophs looks more like Tomar, tho.

He also decided to changed his name back after committing several heinous war crimes in the Lands Between under the Tomar persona

Hope someone makes a mod eventually

Half of them are literally unmasked lol.

Technically technically, you fight him the exact same both times, since the latter is an invasion which would have to be either a remnant of the past or him spirit walking to defend the location, while the former is his real current body in prison

I so want to see vyke's face, like damnn

Vyke should've been elden lord not me :(

His prime is succumbing to the frenzied flame

@@milk-el8vq I wouldnt say that, he's much harder in the Gaol than he is during the invasion lol

Indeed they are.

Milicent >

@@supremo5209 my man 👉😏👉

@@supremo5209 Millicent before needle >>>>

No wonder diallos was so devastated

Possibly something similar to how Shabriri takes over Yura’s corpse?

I would assume its the same thing considering where her questline goes. Something something 3 fingers possessions

Speculated, but that doesn't explain why Irina's corpse remains while Hyetta is up and about.

Ah yes the "speculated fun fact"

I didn't notice this in my first playthrough, and at the time wondering why theres a lot of blind girls running around.

he´s a misunderstood fellow ya know, had a rough childhood and so on

come on, he just wants to kill you and desecrate your corpse, defiling your bloodline for generations to come. Cut him a bit of slack!

Nephelli looks like she eats rocks

@@nu4473 She eats a bowl of nails for breakfast

And she has them Abs

Nephelli is shaped like a friend :)

I liked Delores the sleeping arrow k

Lautrec, I require your ring, a siegbrau, a +4 Shortsword, and a LOT of dung pies. No time for questions.

We Undead have nothing to give and way more to take. Not that i would do such a thing, of course.

Lmao 🤣
