Baelin's Route: An Epic NPC Man Adventure

If you are familiar with Epic npc man you'll love this. If not check out epic npc man by viva la dirt league.

I don't understand some of the reviews that score this badly. This movie is based on what was a one dimensional character, Baelin the fisherman, who is a one line character without a backstop which you see often in games. They take this character ot of his comfort zone of walking the same route every day and throw him into certain danger in which he ends up on a quest replacing an actual playable character.

Rowan manages to pull off some amazing acting in this role, despite his character only having one line that he can repeat over and over you understand and feel what he is conveying every single time.

Then there's Phoenix, the newest addition to VLDL who is just lovable and fantastic. Despite not having many credits to her acting career she absolutely smashes this and carries the whole film from start to finish.

Some of the acting may seem off but its purposely done that way as it is a spoof of video games. For example, Hamish, the one being robbed, plays his part perfectly. Not an actual real reaction to being robbed but the comedic video game type spoof this is. This movie deserves 10/10 and its only letdown is that it was so short, but even then it fitted everything in it needed to.

Again, an amazing movie. Go watch it.

It would help to be a fan of Viva La Dirt League on Youtube to truly enjoy this mini movie. However, if you are an MMORPG fan that would be enough I suppose.

VLDL create short funny videos related to video games of all types. This is their first attempt at creating a video that is longer than a couple minutes. It's a mini movie really, about 30 minutes long.

Everything about this production was amazing. The gorgeous scenery, the sound, the characters, the costumes.

Some people may have a problem with Baelin (main character) as he can only say one phrase, as he is a non-player character in a video game, but he says these words with various emotional tones, much like R2D2 or groot.

I would love to see these people create a real movie. A game-related movie with real characters that aren't suck saying in-game phases only. This mini movie was big budget quality and so well done.

Just... Wow! This works so well! The action! The humour! The emotion! Well done!

For the gamers out there, this short film represents a quirky story that's relatable, heartwarming and fun! Fantastic production with breathtaking scenery!

We need more of this in the world.

Half an hour long, cliché story which feels more interesting than half the things Hollywood produces to be honest. And Rowan Bettjeman brings the character to Baelin to life while uttering only one line of dialogue.
