Odd thing is I don’t remember him being awful on camera, I think most of it must’ve been offscreen. I don’t think they’ve talked about the reasons yet, other than that he cheated on a few rolls
They’ve never really said why he left and most Critical Role communities will shut down any discussion of it. Not sure why. It’s a DnD game. We’ve all had to deal with bad players.
The cast refuses to speak about it out of respect for Orion, and most CR communities respect that and ban any discussion or speculation as to the reason for his departure.
Orion has come out since then admitting to having a drug problem, so that (in conjunction with the extensive list you posted) seems the most likely explanation for him getting the boot.
Also of note, he made his own spinoff audio series based around tiberius and his adventures, in defiance of tiberius being canonically dead in CR. He made a kickstarter to turn it into an animated series but evidently just ran with the money and the series never materialized.
He also had a tendency to be a “that guy” and either jump in on other people’s scenes or take them over, like using telekinesis on Laura’s arrow that was getting the killing blow to give it more oomph, even though it was already a kill shot, or having a list of 17 things he wanted to do/look for in town. Hed also got upset when he couldn’t be super amazing badass like not being able to meta magic multiple leveled spells in a turn or how the mending catrip wasn’t able to repair the flying carpet into a magic item again as opposed to jus a carpet.
Yeah nothing stuck out to me except a few awkward moments on the first watch but after becoming familiar with the CR crew’s vibe in the later episodes, it’s incredibly cringey in retrospect.
I was thinking of starting from the beginning sometime soon so if I do that and get to episode 27 and ALSO remember this post I can update you on what happened

Ah ok. I think you don’t notice him being awful but it becomes obvious on rewatch.
