Finally caught up.
I particularly loved the punchline about the skeletons.

“Dragonus, he’s questioning your dignity, you have to race!”
I seriously though bat rider would care more for his ride u know. The guy might be a psyco
Little known tidbit: If you beat all of Batrider's quest before talking to Snapfire, when Skywrath says he's trying to cure a friend, Snapfire assumes he means the bat.
COUGH
He’s an animal poacher. It’s his ride, not his pet let alone ‘friend’
i mean, in game the bat is supposed to be a she.
Or maybe he treats it like most men treats their vehicles
I don't remember it exactly, but after that the debacle of it being a dungeon, and then convincing him it isn't. Only for the skeletons to ask why they want in to their dungeon.
Kill them all, then find they are a shy peaceful folk who could of helped and ended our quest there nice and easy
They say "Do not judge a book by its cover" but Axe and Centaur probably does not read.
I just loved their dynamic with Dragonus. You can literally feel his "I'm surrounded by idiots" energy. I hope their travels together culminates with Dragonus acting like an idiot with those two, much to the confusion of Venge.
"why am i being surrounded by such peons"
Honestly, I think the Visual Novel route of fleshing out Dota's lore has been a slam dunk this year. It's relatively asset light compared to something like another volume of the anime and they get to flex their excellent writing corp. I wouldn't mind this format being the new big content event standard every year.
I have enjoyed it more than other seasonal events that often feel like chores. They also deviate from the normal game design and have you decide between doing the event vs playing the actual game. I quite like the idea of the different events, but with limited time to game, I prefer to spend it on actually playing Dota instead of PVE like that. This new event is a great way to enhance your normal game experience without you having to sacrifice your game time to do the event.
Yes! I need this exact scenario.
I hope this doesn't get removed by automod. I barely see any posts about the actual crownfall plotline... :abaddon_depressed:
As someone who don’t read, thank you for reading the plot.
As someone who doesn’t read, huh?
We don't post how much we love the crownfall plotline because it makes us all too sad remembering how unfun the anime adaptation was.
I enjoyed the anime, though I would have liked something a little more light hearted/silly.
people either too busy complaining. or talking about e sport
it just sad and miserable here
I like that they referenced Gimli and Legolas’s counting competition
Didn’t read the majority of it but the warlock subquest was pretty funny as was the meepo one in act 1.
I also love how they’re drawn in the Facets comic :)
Agreed, very clever - tied gameplay into lore quite nicely
All the dialogue is amazing.
I’ve been loving crownfall. This flavour of cavern crawling has made me play heroes I’ve never played before but I can still pick around roles and themes I’m familiar with. Especially love the scrap mechanic where you get some progress regardless of a win or a loss for specific tokens if you’re on an unlucky streak with rolling the ones you need. I’ve never played more DOTA than I have when this has been out.
I love that the sick bat is now a part of the army.
COUGH
It was so fun reading their mini dialogues
Actually, after reading that part, I started hating Axe and Centaur Warrunner for it. I can't play them anymore; they broke my fragile heart. The skeletons were innocent. 😔
it's ok, they are dead.
Well, now they certainly are.
yea, i really have been enjoying the story line with everyone so far, but cent and axe have been really great this act! Can't wait for June 39th to get to act 3 jaja
I did read. It was super fun, but act 2 has been around for awhile. there's not much to discuss anymore hence why we dont get many posts about I assume.
makes me wonder who will be Venge's partners in icewreck. CM acting like a lunatic and Winter pestering everyone with shitty poems?
I'm guessing Tusk and Bristleback will show up as rivals as well.
As a lore enjoyer i loved every bit of it .the funky ride. Batrider snapfire lc etc popping off in between for some spicy story. Valve really did a great job
They remind mo so much of Drax. All brawn, no brain trope. And Skywrath is the "thread that's keeping the animals together" trope.
All brawn, no brain trope.
Axe is smart. He just doesn't like using his brain lmao. Just look at how he convinced Pudge to let them through for free
Axe is cunningly stupid.
Or stupidly cunning
Your bottom tower has capitulated to superior force. Haha, Axe brought his thesaurus!
Low intel high charisma
I'd say Axe is quite intellectual person. Maybe not smart, but intuitively he is always making best possible decisions from his perspective. His own comic showed it
Axe was making really good points about nomadic vs civilized life in the Warlock side quest.
Part about humiliating a demon made me laugh really hard
Edit. But if you actually think about it, if Axe let Warlock get rid of the curse, later Legion Commander might have made different decision.
I just want the bat to be ok:(
COUGH
People blaze through the map within a week or a few days even. I finally finished the A2 map last week because I don't get to play much. I loved the interactions, they're so goofy and it's very fun to follow through. A1 was fun too but Axe Centaur combo in A2 is more fun. I also get to play more heroes than I would for tokens, earn amazing cosmetics. Cannot wait for A3 to drop.
Atleast something to enjoy in this feed now, was tired of that 39th June shit
dude you will not BELIEVE what I just rolled in the candyworks. Wait, wait, I'll just post it on the subreddit!
Let me guess you rolled 3 arcana twice in a row.
Meanwhile on my 40th reroll I get some more crappy 2013 uncommon sets.
nope. I got TWO months of doter plus in a row. How mental is that??? My post is doing really well, too!
Okay
LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO MY HARD-ERNED IMMORTAL RANK
WHAAATT!!? You played the video game, DOTA 2?! 😮
The whole skeletons thing made me giggle at least 3 times throughout the Act II map, which is actually nuts :D
I'm gonna try and catch up on all of it then read it
The comic is the best thing to come out of crownfall and I love crownfall as a whole
The dialogue is really great in both acts!
Yo has anyone noticed Pudge being a lil ball of meat in the Kunka's comic and then an absolute UNIT in the comic at the end? I thought the lil Pudgling was a cute detail. That whole comic with Kunka was pretty cute!
Dude the crownfall story and content have been so good!
Link please? I have no idea about what we are talking :D
Have you been reading through the crownfall in game comics and quests?
Crownfall, the event, has a light hearted plot line going on. You can read most of it here: https://liquipedia.net/dota2game/Crownfall/Story but the presentation is much better in-game.
Ruins of Barzum and the Second part of the main story act 2 are the best ones.
I'm so behind, I've only just finished Act 1
Just enjoy the trip. No need to rushan.
It was actually really funny. I hope act three has the same caliber of charm
Now picture Axe as Synderman and Centaur as Sunsfan
Yup. I fell in love with the comics after reading their back and forth dialogues.
Valve writing is very good. They subvert tropes and have solid jokes.
Is there someplace to read all this outside the game? I don't play much anymore but would love to read it.
Thank you!
Don't think so. Maybe Youtube.
The a big reason I opted for the side quest pass in act 2, despite not getting it in act 1, was to see more of the dialogue (and to unlock the fancy DK skins).
I can't read. I just play P1 and constantly ping my team to communicate.
No idea what ur talking about. Skip everything.
I can’t read
JUST LIKE AXE!
Gonna agree, Axe and Centaur had a great chemistry. Loved so many of their dialogue that i had to show it to gf
The poor skeletons minding their own business.
Axe amd Centaur: It's clobbing time!
“I won”
I read it all.
People who don't, should really reconsider.
I love the trio's dynamic so much, and Axe is also underrated in his intelligence. The way he convinced Pudge was awesome!
I ply to read plot who are you people
Now I have to read the thing. I just skipped everything, I wanna play dota
Yeah sry nobody cares - do a proper compendium in 2025 or dota is gonna fall over.
For me the best dialogue is "..." when skywrath declines to take the bat and the bat makes beady eyes
axe "I KNEW IT! this is a DUNGEON door!" sky "calm down axe, it's a cave door" and so on best dialogue in the map
