Bardin's quest to substantiate a dawi myth of four millennia. 【Vermintide: dialogue compilation】 

Mostly because of major earthquakes (which are pretty damn devastating when you live underground) or be swallowed up by Chaos (literally happen to Karaz Vlag in the Great War Against Chaos in 2301 IC).

Didn't humans just straight up forget about their city that was destroyed in the creation myth of the skaven?

​@@bullethail3875 more like omitted we can't have people talking about talking rats Although a few cities near the rat people capital city are actually aware About this

well it's a dwarven fort, so it doesn't have to be quite as big

Whaaaaat? Yooooo

WHAT

Sadly there was a bug introduced late during Vermintide1's lifespan that removed a portion of these Stormvermin lines, so it's possible the same bug carried over to Vermintide 2 Not only were the Stormvermin affected, but also a bunch of *wicked* clanrat lines disappeared from Vermintide1 some time after the generic warning sound for backstabs was added. Edit: I'm gonna make a skaven voice lines compilation eventually using footage from the time when the clanrat lines were still in the game. "Eat your hands and face, elf-thing!"

@@Lumeuu I also miss how some of the Skaven get scared and press themselves against walls because they don't have the courage to attack the heroes. I just recently tested out VT1 after playing VT2 for over 500 hours and I gotta say that VT1s atmosphere on the maps is much more pleasing and more immersive. One could say its a less arcady version of VT2.

@PocketCoffee Krieg The slightly more arcadey aspect of V2 was one of the factors that ultimately pushed me away, although I still got amazing value from the game at about 300 hours.

@@Lumeuu Sadly I am only Lvl 4 in VT1 with my Kruber. I don't know a lot about the game yet but for now I have to play with bots because the still active playerbase is only joinable in higher difficulties. Though truth be told even "Hard" difficulty is already doable for me even with extremely crappy gear.

@PocketCoffee Krieg Lol, I can imagine. Considering your V2 playtime, Nightmare will be a breeze for you as well.

Thorek is there now!

I thought it was just something that it’s added in the game for vermintide I didn’t think it would be real in warhammer total war

5 seconds earlier: "Good minion, good, save food for minion..."

How does finding a lost hold prevent Bardin from becoming a Slayer? Would that redeem him in eyes of his people?

@@Tube_Chaser its more about whether Bardin himself believes he's redeemed. A Slayer oath is a personal religious choice

@@qrangejuice8225 Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification, I'm not that familiar with Warhammer lore outside of what they mention in Vermintide

@@Tube_Chaser Additionally, he never finds it. He's not expected to find the Hold. He's expected to die trying. They are sending him to an honorable death.

One quibble: VT2 doesn't present the career choices as a progression. They unlock due to level for gameplay, but aren't a history for each character. Perhaps Bardin becomes a Slayer. Perhaps Bardin decides to seek redemption in service as an Ironbreaker. Perhaps he continues his personal quest as a more skilled Ranger Veteran. Victor might advance as a Templar, might become a mercenary holy Bounty Hunter, might go kinda mad and become a Zealot. And so on.

I just wish this game was more active

@@heinzgrigori4628 im on ps4 if you would like to purge some heritical scum together

Sadly that's probably not gonna happen

I think V2 is awesome enough they just gotta add more content and heroes. They have a gold mine here of untapped potential.

Well lucky for you they announced a Vermintide game based out of 40K universe and it looks like a good time

Blagh blegh blagh blegh blagh blegh

its good map . too bad its only in v1

Its there, its shown that his search for karak zorn, ie dwarven promiseland, was an act of redemption for the disaster at zufflin deep but he knows that its just a fantasy that he tells himself so he can move on. He is coming to grips with the reality that karak zorn might not even be real and having to face the fallout of his mistake. Its honestly really depressing

So the slayer path is canon? I thought the alternate paths werent?

@@armintor2826 Each paths are canon to some degree, they all carry a backstory to go with it, which followed the events at Ubersreik. The Slayer is Bardin giving up his quest of finding the lost hold and become a Slayer. As such, he is by oath and honor bound to never speak what brought him to become one, lest it shames him and will bring his guilt and secrets to the grave, assuming he ever dies considering how being a Slayer is both tough to kill but how the oath doesn't disallow the slayer to heal in battle to keep fighting and killing the enemies of the Dwarves.

I wrote in a Fanfiction once that some of the Dawi of Karak Zorn have devolved into primitive tribes of Albino Dwarfs.

@@samuelrodriguez9801 fuckin morlocks

2 also became more fun tho, which i prefer. story is great but im a funny man who likes the funny dialouge. it may be a circus but compared to the rest of end times lore its still the best part of the whole shitshow.

@@sovietunion7643 I get that, I just felt a tonal whiplash.

@@Acesahn You are not the only one. Vermintide I is much more thematically coherent, to put it in a certain way.

I wouldn't go so far and compare it to Marvel movies, but I somewhat agree. The situations in 2 get treated a lot less seriously, it's not like they don't acknolwedge that things are dire, but that they never really doubt that they will come out on top at the end. I guess it makes some thematical sense, after all the U5 now know that they are a great team that is able to succeed against very bad odds, but maybe they overdid it a little bit with the playfullness. Kerillian and Saltzpyre being cocky and confident is appropriate, but maybe Kruber and Bardin should have some moments of being the "straight man" were they acknowledge that things might get really bad, even with all they are doing.

to me since the end times was already handled badly in so many ways, and the first vermintide being like the only decent and actually smart story telling part of the end times lore we see that's okay. vermintide 2 was sorta meant to be played rather than worrying as much about the story, which i can't blame them. im okay with the slightly lighter tone and mild comedy because it makes the game more fun to play and look at for me. i love grim-darkness but i like it with a healthy amount of comedy too. that's why my favorite 40k faction is the orcs. evil and grimdark, but everything about them is fucking hilarious and stupid and i love that in a setting like 40k that takes itself to seriously most of the time. im okay with vermintide 2 focusing less on the story and more on the gameplay because endtimes lore in general is already so bad that i don't care. i'll always like vermintide 1 for the better darker story deeper characters but vermintide 2 is where the fun is at.

Probably because they had to establish the characters which grants a lot of opportunity for banter and exposition. And character development, too! They actually grow closer to each other over the first game. In V2, they already know each other quite well, so there's less reason for introductory dialogue or character growth, sadly. Doesn't mean it isn't there but it's...less than what V1 had to offer.

I honestly thought it was Drachenfels's grave.

@@benvaughan2171 I am not sure what to believe. If I recall correctly, Victor's official position is that Drachenfels (the... person) doesn't exist.

That would be so cool

There's a reason people were clamoring for night versions of the maps in VT2. Fatshark's just got a pretty clumsy design philosophy in general. I remember when the second game released, and it took them a couple months to even get the power system working properly because of the way they handle version control constantly undoing progress. It's always one step forward, one step back, and one step to the side with this company - until all that's really occurred after a few years of development is them puttering about and quietly moving the team to the next big thing management wants to make. I feel bad for the writers and designers for these games because there's a lot of heart, but whoever's in charge continues to screw them over.

@@StoutOnion :(

Vermintide 2 got rushed because they didn't expect 1 to do very well at all. So now they have this rushed, half-baked thing that they've been doing an admittedly good job salvaging, but it's still at its core a little lacking.

You can always count on Fatshark fu cking things up.

***Spoiler warning*** The name below will spoil the Drachenfels novel that was originally published about 30 years ago. The grave very likely belongs to Oswald von Konigswald

@@Lumeuu Why would they bury him seemingly in such a random spot?

Bardin also has a couple of lines that shed light on the matter further: "A traitor's grave... That's one profession that never runs short of work." and "Someone didn't care for this fella. Give the stones a wide berth, dawri."

@@Lumeuu do you mean **Spoiler warning** Constant Drachenfels ?

The problem with that is that Araby is barely part of Warhammer at all. There wouldn't be much fan appeal in visiting a place about which there is almost no lore.

@@mrgabest Why would you even say that? Fans of an IP _always_ want to explore new places in that IP. You simply aren't very imaginative if you can't imagine a fun Vermintide 3: Araby... * Prologue opens with some poor Araby sap unleashing the Tomb Kings from an ancient crypt. * The central "Ubersreik" of the game is Ka-Sabar, a town held by Araby men which is being "reclaimed" by the Tomb Kings. * The Heroes: Bardin (hold-seeking), Kruber (possibly as a friend, possibly as a Grail Knight pledged to him), Kerillian (driven by dreams to reunite with her southern kin near Oreon's camp), a Mystic (female Araby citizen of Ka-Sabar and wielder of powerful magic), and a Lizardman (joining for inscrutable reasons and always muttering something about a Plan). * The Enemies: skeletons are basic chaff, Nehekhara Warriors are the still-basically-chaff, Tomb Guards are Stormvermin-equivalents, Ushabti/Sepulchral Stalkers/Tomb Scorp are the new monsters, a few Tomb Princes are minibosses, and a Liche Priest is the end boss. * Skaven can show up too, since they're basically everywhere. * Chaos? Harder to see that, but write in a chaos portal where they're racing for some object of power and you can technically rationalize it. * Orks? Yes post-release. They'd add a spider and goblin-heavy Ork roster (basically the forces of Grom the Paunch). * The Environments: Araby settlements, gorgeous Tomb Kings crypts, teeming jungles, and perhaps the fabled dwarven hold. Post-release with the Ork content you'd visit settlements in Mount Arachnos which would end up feeling a bit like Drachenfels content (a settlement in a rocky mountain). And this is without really inventing a whole lot of new lore stuff, so I'm not even really being all that imaginative here...

@TheGermanDuck Sure that'd be fun too (that when skaven and tomb kings show up together, they fight each other)

I installed some elements from Grimalackt's QoL mod. As far as I know, it doesn't contain any graphics changes.

@@Lumeuu Yea after watching your videos I compared V2 with v1 graphics and have found v1 have better graphics than V2 for some reason.

V2 has higher quality textures/models/lighting, but even so I also prefer the overall aesthetic style of V1 over V2 that's for sure.

@@ginyoshida6872 v2 is superior on a technical level but the art direction of v1 is more fitting (compare drachenfels in v2 compared to v1 for example)

Divorce with warrior dwarf and an excellent engineer daughter, yet he himself is a failure in every job with different reasons.

The map with boats is "River Reik" from the DLC Death on the Reik

@@Lumeuu If I recall correctly, they will bring it back in another DLC soon.

They are a very rare occurence in the latest game version. Typically story dialogue triggers only during the game session's first mission if playing with bots. So if you want to improve your chances of hearing more, reboot the game after each successful mission when playing with bots. Or play missions with elevators due to the forced triggers. Another pattern I noticed, is when playing in public lobbies, new players "hot-joining" in the middle of a mission might trigger more story dialogue, even if it's not the first mission of that particular host's session.

@@Lumeuu Thank you for the quick response and the tips, I'll try these myself.

@@Lumeuu Another question if you don't mind. I've noticed in your other videos that your in-game bots are quite varied. For example in your "Vermintide: dialogue - Sienna's impending trial and Saltzpyre's perpetual reproach." video you often have saltzpyre bot with you when you are playing as Sienna, which I don't think is possible even with the QoL modpack. Did you use another mod to control who comes with you on missions or did a Saltzpyre player leave your missions? Thank you for you answer again in advance!

Indeed, I sometimes switched the bots around. In the QoL mod 'patch' folder there is a file called "BotImprovements.lua" If you wish to modify the bot selection priority yourself, the image link below shows you which section needs to be modified. i.imgur.com/gvw5qWy.jpeg I used Notepad++ to open the .lua file.

@@Lumeuu Thanks very much again.
