00:00 Hello, hello, hello, hello! Boy, I bet you guys are happy to hear that my mic actually
00:06 sounds like it works. That's because it does!
00:13 There were, apparently Lenovo sabotages its own mics by putting it on certain settings
00:26 before they sent it out and I found out that this has been a problem going on for 10 years.
00:33 You know, that's not to mention the fact that, I mean, I'm never buying a Lenovo again. The
00:39 only reason why I bought this Lenovo is that it was a 2-in-1 with a dedicated, I said democratic,
00:46 dedicated graphics card. And it's just, it's just not as powerful as it should be.
00:53 So, ticks me off. So anyway, I'm giving a little introduction. I have in, for those
01:00 of you who watch on YouTube, I found a video that instructs people on how to make the microphone
01:11 actually work on a Lenovo. Specifically on a Lenovo. You go into the microphone settings,
01:19 and it's, it's like sound, it's under the preferences for the microphone. It's like
01:26 sound-assisted quality. You actually have to turn it off. Yeah, you actually have to
01:36 turn it off. So, that's it. Anyway, let's start.
01:46 Having recently returned from patrol, the comrades of Lord Delt walk the corridors of
01:53 High Hall, approaching the quarters of El Toro's sovereign lord.
02:01 Yeah, we don't, we don't need that intro again, do we? I don't think you guys do. Although
02:08 I, I loved that intro. It was so badass when it first came out. I mean, I don't know, I
02:28 loved it, but it was so badass when it first came out. Alright, let's get to playing.
02:35 So, for those of you who are watching on video, you see that I have two saves? Yeah! Make
02:57 sure you do that. I've actually had saves revert to previous saves before. I, I don't
03:04 know why. I just don't.
03:17 I don't know why. I just don't.
03:25 I don't know why. I just don't.
03:33 I don't know why. I just don't.
03:41 I don't know why. I just don't.
03:48 Originally I was going to go straight into town, but you know what? I think I'm going
04:07 to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
04:15 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
04:23 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
04:31 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
04:39 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
04:47 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
04:55 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
05:03 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
05:11 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
05:18 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
05:26 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
05:35 I'm going to go ahead and finish mapping out Old Slavic Road South.
05:40 Alright, so my health is low. I'm going to save here.
06:01 When I get to Old Slavic Road South, let me look at this auto map.
06:06 I'm already all the way down here.
06:11 As soon as I finish cruising around, I'm going to go to the cabin, heal up, and get back.
06:19 I think I'm going to pause and head back over to this location.
06:28 You're going to see a little bit of a jump cut.
06:31 Alright, so this is what happens when you look at the scroll that the barred woman has in her inventory.
06:48 She actually has a scroll in her inventory.
06:51 You're meant to pick it up and look at it, and I forgot about that until I did it while I was resting.
06:57 So the thing that pops up is it says, "Fortune has smiled upon the quest."
07:02 Or smiled on the quest.
07:04 "Here is the first scroll with the mage's spell composed on it.
07:07 After it is scribed into the spell book, the power of its magic will be at our command."
07:12 Now, you actually need Identify Scroll, but I think we get a better mage.
07:25 An actual, real mage, other than this gal.
07:29 So I'm not going to scribe it into her book.
07:32 But yeah, let me go ahead and show you.
07:35 So normally this scroll is here, you pick it up, and that's what happens.
07:39 So, yeah, I'm going to do inventory control now.
07:44 [Makes weird noises]
07:49 Here we go, pausing it.
07:52 Jump cut!
07:55 Alright, alright, alright, we are now back.
07:58 Jump cut!
08:00 So let's look at the auto map.
08:02 I'm just going to go...
08:04 There we go, I'm just going to cruise through these things.
08:07 One of the cool things I love about this mapping system.
08:10 Back then, you could flip through all your different maps.
08:15 Save them all when you needed to.
08:19 Because they were all stored in different grids, for each paper you would always have to re-center them.
08:26 But that was the only problem.
08:28 Keep in mind, this is the 90s.
08:30 Very few games gave you maps, let alone role-playing games.
08:35 You were expected to make your own.
08:38 Yay!
08:40 The thing is, even modern games, which profess to having advanced maps,
08:48 I've found that some modern role-playing games don't have maps that are this versatile.
08:56 Which is really saying something about some modern game designers being not that great.
09:07 So, yeah, let's go ahead and go on through all these and have some fun.
09:13 [Music]

11:13 [Evil Laugh]
11:17 [Sad Music]
11:46 [Sad Music]
12:12 [Sad Music]
12:31 Alright, let me try and figure out how to open up the secret passage I forgot.
12:37 But yeah, there's a secret passage here that lets you look.
12:42 And, yeah, fun.
12:46 Actually, secret passages are fun. There are quite a few in this game.
12:50 You not only have to walk into walls to see if they're blocky, if they're illusionary,
13:00 but you also have to look for buttons to press.
13:05 And as soon as I find it, I'll restore the pause.
13:08 Alright, jump cut. Found it.
13:12 So let me show you what this invisible wall looks like.
13:15 You press forward, boom!
13:18 And, uh, oh, get away from here. There we go.
13:24 You see, all invisible walls are marked with purple.
13:28 I can't remember if there's anything actually in here.
13:34 I don't think so.
13:36 Oh, wait, wait, wait, there is a camp out here.
13:40 I think what was actually behind this invisible wall were a bunch of bandits, and we killed them.
13:50 See, nothing's here.
13:57 [Music]
14:24 And I'm going to go ahead and pause it and finish clearing out this map.
14:27 Jump cut!
14:31 Okay, so, yeah, I thought that--I forgot, there is no place right here.
14:39 The Old Slavic Road South is split into two parts, and it's a seamless world.
14:53 It's really difficult to describe how revolutionary this was, because this didn't exist, again, until, like, EverQuest.
15:07 And even then, EverQuest had zones.
15:10 For the most part, I think World of Warcraft was the first one that was truly seamless,
15:18 although maybe Meridian--it was Meridian 59 or something, whatever it was--they might have had a seamless world, too.
15:26 But I think I remember World of Warcraft being the first one to actually really promote that.
15:33 And let me show you what I mean by seamless world.
15:47 No real loading. Just immediately jumps into the next world.
15:51 The next zone.
15:54 And even when you click on doors to go from one place to another, it's really more or less seamless in how it works.
16:06 It's fascinating.
16:08 I don't know, just...
16:12 Well, I mean, you could--no, no, because even Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy VII, that wasn't seamless.
16:19 You definitely had zones.
16:21 But it was just so cool that you could walk from one place to another.
16:25 And sometimes--well, I think the only thing that couldn't happen is enemies couldn't chase you from one area to another in this game.
16:34 I have--first, I always kill the enemies as soon as I can.
16:37 All right.

20:03 [reading on-screen text]
20:05 [reading on-screen text]
20:07 [reading on-screen text]
20:10 Now, one thing we always have to do, we have to check the layout of the interior of the building with the layout of the exterior.
20:17 Because, believe it or not, they have to match.
20:21 And if they don't, then that means that there is a secret room.
20:26 And, you know, I'm probably going to be doing a lot of scouting in this village without recording it.
20:38 But I'll show you what I find, because this is what I'm going to be doing.
20:41 Checking out the inside, and going outside.
20:45 Auto-map, looking. Oh, I gotta go around here.
20:51 Oh, here's a thing.
20:53 [reading on-screen text]
20:55 [reading on-screen text]
20:57 [reading on-screen text]
20:59 [reading on-screen text]
21:01 [reading on-screen text]

21:10 [reading on-screen text]
21:12 [reading on-screen text]
21:14 [reading on-screen text]
21:16 [reading on-screen text]
21:18 You have to go all the way around, like this.
21:23 And, auto-map.
21:26 That's exactly what the layout looked like inside, so what you do is you write "empty".
21:35 And yes, you need to do this, otherwise you will get lost later on, because there are some buildings that have very important stuff in them.
21:44 [music]
21:58 Yeah, I did that. I just did that.
22:04 I thought I was saving.
22:06 Jump cut!
22:08 Okay, so when you go as far south as you can, you run into a gate.
22:15 And the gate, I 90% certainly open up the gate later on.
22:19 Anyway, so, I mean, there are a couple different gates you open, and I think this one you also open.
22:25 So, she says, "No need to waste"--oh, let me mute it.
22:31 There. So when you run into this gate, in Slavic Road South, this is what she says.
22:38 [reading on-screen text]
22:58 [music]
23:21 Jump cut!
23:24 So, one of the good things about empty buildings is that you can more or less just sleep in them when you need it.
23:39 And that's where I'm going to end this episode.
23:46 So, have a good one!
23:51 [music]
