About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple YouTube show, to a radio show, a TV show and now once again a YouTube destination. Welcome to VGS.

CORRECTIONS! I said Chile instead of Spain when mentioning the events of Resident Evil 4 (wtf was I thinking?) and as some french players explained, the sigal reads when translated. "l'argent defend(should be written "défend") le droit" so its "silver(or money, the word can mean both) defends/protects the right" Thanks commenters!

11:09 Who REALLY is The Duke?
Imagine if they made the duke a secret boss that could only be fought after doing X thing in each of the 4 lords areas or collecting X number of specific items
I wonder where he got his Light Saber from. He must have been in a galaxy far far away..
My theory is, that he is even older than Miranda. There were references of old kings and a war that took place inside the stronghold. Also, the symbol inside the cave and the megamycete have already been there when Miranda stumbled upon them. I think that he is from that time in the past and might have reached immortality as a result of a successful mutation. He is helping Ethan but is also not actively involved in harming Miranda or the lords. As if is merely curious as to how everything might play out. Perhaps he thinks of Ethan as another oddity whose essence needs to ripen over time. He talks about people's essence a lot.. as if he enjoyed collecting them and devouring them like a fine wine. He is a man that enjoys exquisite and extraordinary things. Maybe he wants to develope Ethan's essence through changing the course of his journey here and there. All in all, I don't think he is helping Ethan because he is a "good" person. If anything, I'd describe him as "chaotic neutral" at best.
PS: I'm not a native speaker. I hope you understand my point haha
It took 50 seconds before the damn comercials started. Really? 50sec, that where we are at now?
Ethan: you'll pay if I find out this is a lie, now sell me some magnum rounds and healing potions 🤣🤣🤣
I think the Duke predates Miranda. :/ definitely not one of her projects. I am willing to wager on hierarchy of power he is above Miranda. dude just hangs out and nobody fucks with him…. that should be telling in itself
Btw I’m pretty sure the duke had a wife, because inside the house with the red chimney there’s a photo of a man and his wife, the man looks very similar to the duke although much skinnier, and that woman in the photo is dead on the floor. Haven’t finished the video yet. So I don’t know if it was talked about.
There is one other person we know who’s fate was left uncertain to us, he also has grey hair shaved at the back, short on top, but more importantly his number one goal is to make money. He said himself that “There is always money to be made, even when the world is burning” that person is Nikolai from RE3. The Duke doesn’t exactly know who he is and he is invulnerable, perhaps someone who has has already died but was brought back through Miranda’s experiments. Like many others losing his memory of his past but retaining some features like his thirst for money. Also the translation in the back of his wagon can also be read as “Silver” Nikolai’s code name for umbrella was “Silver wolf” lastly he resides in Europe and he had been offered a deal to get info in Racoon City by someone else who paid him more than what Umbrella offered, he promised he would tell Jill who it was if she helped him escape RC. Perhaps Miranda was that other person. So who knows maybe the Duke is an infected Nikolai who has put on a lot of weight and has no memory of who he once was.
One question how we can transfers from room to another while he can’t walk ? 😳
In jacksepticeye playthrough I loved when he called the Duke
Dukie
The Duke was simply a merchant like the one from resident evil 4. They are probably a group of merchants. RE4 merchant became a Ganado while he was trying to sell stuff to the villagers. Here in RE Village, Miranda infected The Duke with a caidou after he sold newspapers with outside news to the villagers.
Both merchants became similar entities. They could travel anywhere inside a specific area without getting hurt by the infected. As they travelled, they made deals with other infected to obtain specific items. Items that they could later sell to their main customers, to arm them so they could kill who ever infected them.This would be the reason why The Duke was conducting business with Lady Dimitrescu after he met Ethan.
their only goal was revange.
He helped me so much (not for free) that I would was his feet
The Duke gives me Tom Bombadil vibes. A being more powerful than most other beings yet doesn't interfere with the world around him actively.
"Wadda ya buyin?"
Add autocaptions please.
Maybe he is the way he is not because of Miranda, but because of megamycete itself. I mean it was in that cave long before Miranda found it, maybe he discoverd it sooner
Duke: appears
My mind: M'lady
He ate all the merchants of resident evil 4 , and now has a monopoly on the market.
Why he sound like Laughing Jack lmao
