Tricking stupid guards in games

Why are guards in video games so stupid?

That delivery by Rowan is just beautiful. Comical to just downright cold and creepy back to comical like it was nothing. Brilliant skit and Ben's face just sells it.

[landkmarjoram]

Unexpected, but brilliant. The smile freezing on Ben, the dead look to Rowans eyes, and that last line before 'programming' kicked in again. Very well done indeed.

If some game developer made this happen at some point in their game, I'd probably freeze up in fear for a few minutes and get off for the night. Brilliant 😂

I absolutely love it when these NPCs break character and have those moments of self-awareness. Absolutely my favourite part of this series.

Good on the developers for having at least 3 different sets of voice lines for the guards instead of all having the exact same voice.

I can just imagine this guy later in the game and every so often he hears "for the peace of the kingdom" behind him but every time he turns around no one is there.

[madhatt]

It's amazing how quickly it went from a quirky joke to incredibly dark and Outstanding job as always!

[disguisedcyclops]

That’s actually so freaking terrifying! When he turns and says, “…the real you.” That made me rethink every decision they I’ve ever made in a game.

[chrishehman]

that was amazing. the way he says " are you enjoying this" I got actual chills.

Wow the epidemic of self-awareness among Azerim's NPC is spreading fast!
Rowan is awesome 👍

This was one of Rowan's best ever deliveries. Applause all around, and I'm logging into ESO to go apologize to that guard I killed last week. Just in case.

[RlNWLF]

That was incredibly well delivered. Very disturbing. Rowan just keeps getting better and better at controlling his tone and Bens reactions were spot on too.

[schattentaenzerin]

Holy shit, this was a terrifying twist!
Kudos to the writer and the actors. I got goosebumps.

I just like how guard Rowan becomes self-aware for a brief moment and Ben's reaction to everything that Rowan the guard says it's just pure genius

[matthewdoraby]

Ben is so fantastic with his expressions. Even with his eyes cast in shadows you can tell his sort of bemused interest at some unique dialogue.

And existential dread at the realization.

[SerakX]

Gonna say what we're all thinking here: We need a sequel to this one.

[cdawg]

Ok, I wasn't expecting that at all. But good to see that Rowan can be just as threatening and scary as Alan when he wants to.

[CurtRose]

I like to think this is the same guard that gained a level a few videos back. He’s leveled up so far he’s “evolved”.
I love these videos.

[riddik]

Brit was awesome in that episode! The fact that she was the second assassin and nobody saw her prowling around was incredible!

[JFlintR]

Was definitely not expecting that last line from Rowan, how epically terrifying that would be in an actual game, great job guys, great video.
