Dragon Age: Duncan: Texas Warden

Contains violence. Parody only. Chuck Norris is not really in this video, nor does he endorse it.

This is what I would call a 'low budget' video. I put four cutscenes together in the toolset for the montage, and I shot them without going back and fixing things like characters sliding around, or the VFX that totally do not appear. I just took what I had and threw it together in this video.
Yes, it is heavily inspired by the Assassin's Creed II gameplay trailer:

AC2 "walkin' tune" (whatever they call it, it is NOT by that band they got tagged with.) Edited in Audacity and Sony Vegas Movie Studio 10 demo.

The Long Story: One day TW sent me a short video demonstrating the 'killallhostiles' script in DAO. She makes cutscenes by subbing an NPC for her PC and loading saved games -- in this instance she was doing something with Duncan on the Fort Drakon roof. So Duncan walks out, TW types in the command in the console, and the archdemon keels over dead.
Not impressed, I said, "Oh, I thought Duncan was going to just punch out the archdemon. You should do that as a cutscene learning project." (I'm such a tough critic!)
But then I thought that was somehow Chuck Norris-y, and though of "Duncan: Texas Warden." I mean... it's a different colour, but he's got a beard and all.... And I wanted to do a video in the style of the AC2 'assassin walkin,' so.... THIS happened!
Haha, I thought I would have to chop the song down because I wouldn't have enough clips to fill out all that time. Then I loaded in the Fort Drakon footage by itself, and it was way over. But that was okay, it was meant to be cut down into quick snippets. Some of them should have been quicker and/or more cut down but... eh, like I say, "low budget." How it turned out is it!

Hoping for a straight up walker parody but you really went all out with this, taking a bit from Walker, GTA, and a few other things it seems. Really funny, not something I have ever said before about machinima.

@videosfromderelix

LOL Alistair's face at 1:00! It's like he's saying "What the heck are you doing here? You're dead!"

@Alienpandaprincess

actually, that expression on alistair's face is listed as 'wtf' in the animation library. lol!

[DragonFyrn]

The scene with archdemon really made my day :D

[WarUltimate]

We want more with Duncan!

Duncan is the best!

[AQuirkyMississippian]

Fun Fact: Duncan's voice actor, Peter Renaday, was born in Louisiana :)

0:20 the earth is moving so the chuck duncan can move faster to save the world!

[Obvioustroller]

Like a BAWS!

[Treasurechick68]

LOL! LOVE IT and DUNCAN! That was great!

@Bloodsong13T I thought there was something else, AC makes sense. Walker was....as overrated as Chuck Norris. The guy fakes a punch like Van Damn in lion heart, it's just sad. "Oh no, a bear! Better get the camera at my back so my stunt man can pretend to hit it"

[stromkald]

LOL, just LOL :D
