    Wow! Warms my dang heart to wake up and see so many people enjoying this. It took around 30-40 hours to make and it’s amazing to have that effort appreciated. Consider sticking around! There’ll be more animations to come as well as a wide variety of other things. Thanks for watching and love you!

    One of the most hilarious things in this video is that the villager just starts crying without changing his mannerisms, without taking his hands out of his pockets - he just straight out openly starts sobbing. Nomal people would wipe their tears or nose occasionally, or do ANYTHING with their hands, but this guy seems so comfortable just standing there, crying. Not ashamed to truly express his sorrow.

    This legitimately happened to me in Oblivion. One of the Fighters Guild quests ask you to exterminate rats in an old ladies basement. So I found the entrance to the house, went right to the basement and promptly slew the rats, only to discover you were supposed to talk to the owner of the house first… she was not pleased that I murdered her precious pets.

      No, this did not happen to you. I am actually replaying Oblivion right now, and I just finished this quest a few days ago. At no point are you told to eliminate the rats. It is called "a rat problem" and meant to be ironic. The woman even tells you to save her babies. Not only do you lack reading comprehension, a basic requirement to play this game...you also failed to notice the rats don't attack on sight like every other enemy. You didn't even mention the mountain lion eating them. The situation, once you come upon it, is extremely obvious.

Yet, despite this, the player still fucks things up thinking its a normal RPG game and ends up killing a bunch of innocent people then feels bad about it when he hears about the truth

The program then proceeds to apply that same artstyle to the rest of the frames of the video, taking depth and complicated factors into account to a degree that it's super impressive, for freeware that's relatively accessible.
