@@cryofpaine I also knew it was coming (became a Critter shortly after the start of C2 and binged C1 between new episodes), I was finding distractions to not watch the episode all day it dropped cuz I was dreading it (but also weirdly looking forward to it). Those flashbacks are an amazing addition and Liams performance is heartwrenching.

"Take me...TAKE ME, you Raven bitch!" Out of all Liam's lines in C1, this is the one that hits the hardest. Because I know, being the oldest in my family, that if any of my siblings needed protecting, I would trade places with them in an instant, and without thinking.

Just before this happened in the campaign, Liam O'Brien had lost a parent, so he poured all his grief into his performance on stream. Now it's all of our problem to deal with.

His mother's sickness was still happening at this point in the campaign. But he knew he didn't have long with her, IIRC. Very soon after this specific campaign stream he went home and saw her for the last time. So yeah, things were dark Liam's own life and they were very dark for Vax for the rest of the campaign, pretty much. But yeah, when liam came back from seeing his mother for the last time he didn't even want the death-walkers ward even though it was REALLY cool armour and he didn't care that Vax was fate touched (which was a special classification that Matt doesn't give many of his player characters( Matt has talked about less than 5 characters at conventions that he has made fate touched so it's a rare thing.) but he knew Liam was having a really REALLY tough time IRL and wanted to do something special for him and Vax). He was just VERY angry about Vax's situation. It's kind of the only time one of the cast was actually genuinely upset about the for an extended period of time. Usually the cast is upset very temporarily and they're able to talk it out with Matt and feel better. From what Liam has said Liam didn't feel much better after that lunch with Matt.

when laura (speaker of vex) started to make fun of "purvan" (which was in the same critial cole episode, including sams pedobear joke) matt said "oh boy your on the way to a tpk(everyone dies)" so it was just the most karma thing that SHE died later xD (also fun when laura did roll a 1 as save vs the damage, sam joked "instant death" and yes it was xD)

I don't get why people who've seen the stream always complain about the animosity. It's because it makes it more interesting for the show. Yes, on the stream they can never stay mad at their guests who are always their friends, but that doesn't actually make for interesting storytelling. If all the characters were just there to happily help the party that'd get boring and predictable.

If there is one where they have a good close "father daughter" or "mother son" dynamic I am not informed.

"how is he worse than in the stream?" Cuz in the stream he never outright called out why he treated them badly. He was always more condesending and/or standoffish to them than outright abusive. I mean it's not like it isn't his fault they were half breeds.

Also the only time we saw him is when the rest of the party was also in the room. Abusers VERY often act differently when they're around other people compared to when they are alone with you. So of course he probably didn't treat them exactly as he would treat them when the Twins were alone with him in a room. But he was still absolutely a cold dick when the party was there.
