I tried to watch a video of Markiplier playing The Stanley Parable, and I had to turn it off because he was being so obnoxious. Does he always act like the poster child for the hazards of drinking too many redbulls or did I just catch a strange video?
Much like many of his fellow humans, Markiplier has a remarkable range of emotions and potential reactions. So, no, he does not always display one specific facet of his personality in every video he makes.
The Stanley Parable is a unique game with unique gameplay, and it rather lends itself to exaggerated reactions. There’s a certain comedic element, I think, in playing off the narrator.
Markiplier’s style of let’s-play does often tend toward loud, energetic reactions, but that’s certainly not his only setting. If you look through some of his vlogs, collabs, and live-action videos, that becomes clear fairly quickly.
All that said, I recognize that everyone can’t like everything, so perhaps he’s not your cup of tea. But no, you can’t really get a feel for him based on a single video.
