00:31What makes death different from war is almost everything about him
00:35The way he expresses himself, the way he talks
00:37I have an offer in mind
00:39The way he handles business on the battlefield
00:41And the way that he gets around
00:42It's much more feral, more animal-like
00:44War is very much like a force meets force
00:47A very head-on, steadfast, loyal-bound soldier
00:51Death is much more of a calculated, elegant fighter
00:54A chilling opponent on the battlefield
00:59His traversal has definitely improved
01:02It's a lot faster, more responsive
01:03And so is his combat
01:04His weapon is more interesting
01:06He can dual-wield or wield a single heavy weapon
01:09Depending on your play style
01:10Death's primary weapon is a scythe
01:12It's kind of a unique one
01:13It's sort of a multi-purpose Swiss Army scythe
01:16He can use it with two different blades
01:17He can attach it together to form the more traditional Reaper scythe
01:21He can use it as a polearm
01:22Of course, he doesn't stop that
01:23He'll pretty much use any weapon that's made available
01:25You can get big axes
01:27You can get crazy cool claws
01:28Big iron fists
01:30And he'll even shoot guns
01:31I mean, he'll use anything that he can really
01:34The main improvement from Dark Shadows 1 to Dark Shadows 2 was depth
01:37We wanted to make the game more involved
01:39We wanted to have more context
01:40We wanted the player to really feel like they're in a real world
01:42With people living there
01:43Stuff going on
01:44Things going on
01:45We gave them more items to tailor their own character
01:47More characters to speak to
01:49So we've got a lot more immersion on the story side of the game
01:51The first game, most of it took place on Earth
01:53So now we were totally free to create all these new areas
01:56We have angelic fortresses, demon cities, the city of the dead
02:00It got our team super excited
02:02On top of that, there's a lot of weapons and armor
02:05And obviously the new character as well
02:07Death
02:09Death's the most feared
02:10And he's one of the oldest horsemen in the fiction
02:12They kind of look at him as a big brother
02:14He's feared just because
02:15When he really gets down to business
02:17He is the death dealer
02:18That's sort of his thing
02:19He wears his mask as an executioner's mask
02:21That's his trade
02:23That's his business
02:23He takes people down
02:25He doesn't wait for things to happen
02:27He causes them to happen
02:28So it's a much more aggressive style of game
02:31And a more aggressive character
02:32I mean, I guess it's all wrapped up in his name, right?
02:35War implies some conflict
02:36But death's the final end
02:38Who doesn't fear that?
02:41A few words describe death
02:43Cold and calculated
02:44Agile
02:45Both in the way he fights
02:46And the way he deals with situations
02:48My favorite word to describe death
02:49Is definitely arrogant
02:50He's an opportunist
02:52If I could describe death in one word
02:54It'd probably badass
03:10And to be a patient
03:10Dude, maybe a person
03:10Who doesn't feel me
03:10It's a good thing
03:10Being a founder
03:10I'm a guy
03:10How about when he talked to mother
