- Today we delve into the shallow depths of Frips mind and hear what he has to say about his favourite warhammer 40k yap simulator.
Guess who has barely made a dent in the Rogue trader storyline despite promising himself that he'd finish 1 playthrough before the next dlc. :)
So many beloved games dropping updates in June. Drg might have to battle it out with the darktide skulls event news for which game gets featured next
Thanks for watching folks - Hry
Wonderful video Frip, and informative! Appreciate you taking a dive into our lil’ part of the game, Pilgrim!
"MAGNIFICENT EMPEROR GRANT ME HATRED!" is such a great line
My favorite voice line is ogryn I forgot which one and cutthroat veteran.
Ogryn says "ogryn is abhuman what's that mean" and veteran barged in says "It means ABSOLUTELY HUMAN" and 2 second pause later says "I promise"
Love the voices of all the dreg enemies, as well as the scab bomber, flamer, and bruiser
"Someone called for a Web-gun" always makes me silently reply No, I didn't. :D
I love the dreg gunner, he screams like a crazy priest, MUTASHFAR NUUUUUURRRRRGLLEEEEEEEEE
"Burn loyalist scum" - Scab Flamer
One of my favorite hidden depths is with the bodyguard ogryn, for as many times he tells others to not ask questions and just follow orders he interestingly takes it on himself to ask why a Valkyrie came in on fire with the crew screaming mad. Makes me wonder if at some point he got punished for trying to be smarter then his station.
The thing about Ogryns is that they don't have much brain, but they make great use of it. The bodyguard is learning to think, and, for that matter, learn.
Bodyguard is almost frighteningly intelligent for an ogryn. And he doesn't even have the bonehead implant yet.
@@thebreadbringer9522 it may be a stretch but he may be like a "below low" level psyker, cause ogryn psykers (yes they became a thing in lore after Psychic Awakening) gain intellect enough to even READ and WRITE and speak coherently, but of course with the whole added issue of being a psyker. But what if ogryn got like smallest bit of psyker power? I think thats what happened.
This was originally going to be a showcase of my favourite personalities and voicelines in Darktide but I realised halfway through that they were all bloomin' great and that it would take way too long. The resulting vid is an abominable attempt to compromise and talk about how well it all fits together so enioy :D
Speaking to an Ogryn is the exact same as speaking to a customer as a retail worker.
I'd happily watch "Making of" for 40k games in general and Darktide Voice Actors in particular. Empra-sent.
Make it happen, Warhammer+, y'all clearly need ideas for content...
"NOT ONE STEP DOWN" - he yelled, making everyone invincible by the sheer power of his voice
I really love male Loose Cannon. I'd like to think he is the one who binds the rejects together besides the ogryns.
"Show me that ugly grin..."
0:56 the amount the snipers in this one particular area plus the beast of Nurgle it’s stressing me out like crazy!
My favorite is when my Zealot starts talking about how he sees the other teammates as more of a family "-a charity case of course, but a family nonetheless." :)
I, quite literally, run Shout Spam Veteran just so I can hear my very angry Cadian scream about his homeworld and vengance before laying into the enemy with a chainsword from his homeworld.
It is...oddly cathartic.
Emperor bless you, Cutthroat VA, whoever you might be, because you understand what those of us who play Veteran WANT.
That "No! I'm right here!" at the end really caught me off guard xD I also got 800+ hours in game and haven't heard that one before. Sad downside of having constantly the same strike team line-up with your friends is that you miss gems like that due to same old personalities involved. Luckily FS added the option to change personality so I can mix things up at least a little from time to time.
James Alexander's male zealot gives me goosebumps every time he praises the Emperor
🙏🙏🙏🕯️💀🕯️🙏🙏🙏
Even though I like the Professional, I always find myself coming back to the male Cadian, and I have to use the Cadian armor sets for maximum immersion. The VA for the male Cutthroat is arguably *the* best in the game (although I may be biased as someone who has closing in on 10,000 points of Astra Militarum on the table and reads all the Guard books.) When using Voice of Command for the first time and he yells "FOR CREEEEED!" or "GIVE 'EM THE OL' KASRKIN DOUBLE TAP!", it was the hypest thing in the game. Theres also a charming moment between the Enforcer psyker and the Cadian that I've yet to replicate where the Psyker catches him smiling and the Cadian tries to deny it in an embarrassed way.
THIS.
I remember a conversation between a Cadian-born Veteran and a non-Cadian born having an argument over Cadia that turned out to be pretty hilarious.
I love the" If you can breath, you can kill!" Hell, most of the shout have so much anger/spite in them; Bitter, torn and knowing only his duty
@@Tremadog102 "And just like Cadia, you will fail us in the end."- none Cadian Vet giving out the worse burns since the Salamanders.
The Cutthroat is probably one of the most deep characters in the game.
Despite being a major asshole on the surface, hearing a lot of lines generally lets you come to the conclusion that the guy does care about his companions and tries to toughen them up through Cadian pattern tough love. He always advises caution, betterment, and focus even if he delivers them as insults.
Furthermore, his small lines also indicate his veterancy as well. For instance, instead of using codes all the time like the professional, he’ll often just scream the enemy type if they’re incredibly dangerous (like snipers). Not to mention his massive death wish from losing Cadia.
He absolutely hates Psykers though, with exception of the Savant due to his professionalism.
He do like his Ogryns though.
"Good, big man, good!"
I like the conversation with Bully Ogryn and the male Seer Psyker:
Ogryn: "Think i got a hole in my boot."
Psyker:"Why of course you do! However would you put it on?"
Ogryn:"I mean another hole, letting in water!"
Psyker:"Well, why didn't you say so?!"
I chose the Fanatic for my Zealot and she's proper insane. It's such good voice acting. Nothing compares to the Male Cutthroat. I use the ability and I feel chastised at the sheer anger. The VA put everything into those ☠️
"CLOSE! KILL! AND DO IT AGAIN!" gets me goosebumps every time
Damn, was that a clip from a Kitty0706 Gmod vid. . ?
I feel old now, and sad.
man cutthroat vet is my fav va, shouting at teammates and reviving them seems to be lore accurate
Local Cadian so goddamn angry about loosing his planet he wont let his team die and fail the mission.
The lady that dose the ''EMPEROR GUIDE MY HAND'' line gives me unironic chills every time, usually It feels like a lot of women in games are a bit try hard in how they talk but by the god emperor I can *FEEL* the steel and fire in her heart when she shouts that line.
It's even better when you use it to propel yourself into a mob on enemies.
That line has just the right amounts of faith and desperation.
I just love how all the regets a huge tsunderes for eachother, even cadian vet shows some affection sometimes. Even in the grimdark there is a little spark of humanity still shining.
Sprial Knights soundtrack in a Darktide video? Life can be sweet after all
sliding in genji when talking about ability shouts was a nice bit of work there
One cool thing I noticed was that, when you're low level, the rejects are much more rude to each other. But as you level up, the game will use more amicable voice lines.
I distinctly remember the veteran using "I gotta do everything myself" type lines at low level, and insulting the usefulness of the other classes, but later this basically stops happening entirely.
Its also just cathartic playing characters that have that "you've come here to DIE" type attitudes. Its that power through a mix of sheer will and rage that makes it feel so good to activate a skill, have your character yell something badass and then cut your foes to pieces that few other games can offer.
The voice lines also just help fulfull the class fantasy so perfectly.
Veterans yell codes, inspire, but also bring that fatalist normal man in hell vibe. Much more casual about The Emperor and his worship, but not enough to get called a heretic
Zealots never shut up cause charging also causes voice lines, even during combat, bringing that literal righteous fury at all times, even when other classes are silent during combat beyond "reloading" and such
Psykers are always talking about weird or random shit, while occasionally letting it slip during combat showing the stresses of using psyker powers in actual combat.
Ogryns are weird cause they're smarter than they're supposed to canonically be, but also have that amusing "simple answer to a complex problem" approach both in combat and in conversation.
Often used as foils for exposition dumps, but also great conversations like My Ogryn trying to share his Nosh with a Veteran. A sign of great respect and trust given how Ogryn treat food. Big, Lovable oafs who always got your back.
My two favourites are the Scottish zealot and the Cadian veteran. One is an angry yet comedic shakespearian man with my favourite voice line in the game “Blood for the Emperor skulls for the golden throne” being said with so much emphasis you can hear-it echo it makes me zealous for a fictional emperor.
The other is the angriest soldier to step foot on a battlefield with every voice line being about heretic annihilation with voice lines such as “Not one step back” and “ I wanna hear them scream”
Ah do luv me some dahk tide cuntent.
Rogue Trader music at the end. Some great voices in that game tol
Can I also add that I find Hestia, Melk and Hadron adorable in their most excellent voicelines too? I've noted that Melk has a soft spot for Ogryns but is toxic to everyone else, especially Zealots that he advices to remember to hold the weapons the right way around, while Hestia obviously being a Zealot herself, gives great and inspiring words to Zealots and despises at least veterans for not being true believers. The best thing is when they start to argue across the hallway with each other. LOL
Hadron is aloof and comes off at first as rather arrogant, but helps anyone she can nonetheless.
These are all characters that brighten your visit to the Morningstar.
I don't know about Hestia yet, but Melk's interactions with you are determined by your personality choice, not your class. Each class has a personality he likes, one he doesn't, and one he is ambivalent toward.
I am a Hadron fanboy. I'd naturally have a biased toward the tech Priest in the group but Hadron balances those sassy, condescending remarks with some begrudging respect on board the Mourningstar. At least she's not lobbying to have you turned into a servitor by time you've finally ranked up your character. 🤣
Great video as always, Frip.
My favorite line is the ogryn saying that hadron is watching him only for her to voice in over the vix calling him paranoid. Even if she isnt the handler for that mission
Medici...Medicimeci...Mecidi...Meci...Medicae
didnt talk about loose cannon male vet, this is a bad vide (loved the video, will share)
putting those low health beasts of nurgle on the screen was a brilliant move, its like getting taunted by a mobile game ad
Outro song?
Great video by the way
Deltarune unreleased ost - Green room..and thankyou! :D
Warhammer is such an amazing game, the voice acting, the music, the art and also even taking time to look at the walls. So much content but gets drowned out in the mania of the game.
"IN THE HEAD? THERE SHOULD REALLY BE A WORD FOR THAT!" -Psyker
My zealot and my buddies ogryn had a funny exchange which was his ogryn saying that if anyone killed my character he would rip there arms off so they cant do it again, my zealot responded with "yes thats all well and good but they cant do it again cause i would be oh never mind"
I think my favorite aspect of the voices is how they change based off your background choices. Playing around with it can make vibes from the same personality.
Wait, really? Never noticed that...
A big part I love Darktide's voicework over Vermintide is just the interaction between the characters are so much more pleasant and fun. With Vermintide everyone was such a passive aggressive asshole to each other except for the Dwarf being the only laid back one.
What makes the Voicework of Darktide so good?
That they only had to reach Vermintide to the ankles
Great video overall, absolutley love they voices in Darktide.
I hear and somewhat understand the criticism that Darktide doesn't have any named/original characters like Vermintide or other CO-OP games like Left 4 Dead or Cod Zombies, and say that beacuse of that they lack any character. But personally I have to disagree since the voice actors put their heart and soul into their lines. They have this perfect balance of having banter between each other so that the missions aren't dead but just vague enough so that people (with the game's customization) can make their own original character.
I myself could spend hour just personalizing my characters or even try to add characters that I have made before into the game.
Wait! wolfer is bald too!!
Outro ost?
Do i hear Spiral knights "Unforgiving Onslaught" in the background?
Yes! SK was one of my first pc games and the ost is stuck in my brain at all times
first time i played dark tide, my left for dead 2 senses were in insane scizho alert more, non stop spitter and jockey sounds!?!?!?REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! to this day i hear the sound cue for melee attack i always think oh god acid coming in, but... now i like it :#
What makes the voicework of Vermintide 2 so much better? Oh right, because actual characters with personalities.
funi noises
DON'T CARE HOW OLD SHE IS
you didn't have to do that, lmao 😂
I put 600 hours in because I like the immersion of being a cracked out, rejected, br*tish fanatic that is screaming at the top of their lungs while fighting for their life nonstop. I have zero regrets about it.
Just me or would it be great if they added Aldari outcasts as a class :)
True. New classes are always welcomed. Though, I don't know how they could justify them being of a different species. In Vermintide it was the end of the world, so racism is discarded when everyone is going to die in a few days xD
@@LangostaV76 Aldari on the path of the outcast commonly find themselves fighting with humans, mainly rogue traders or inquisitors
The only character voice i don't like in this game is one of the zealots.
I dont quite remember what the voice type is called but he just doesn't sound very convincing to me, like hes trying too hard to sound like a religious fanatic.
Always takes me out of the immersion when he speaks.
When i compare that to like Saltzpyre from V2 its night and day.
Some of it is good... not all.
Some of the voice actors carry. Some isn't so good. Vermintide has better dialogue and voice acting :)
Personally, Darktide has good voice acting but terrible writing for it, a lot of the personalities feel like they had one or two jokes for them and then just search for many, many ways of expressing them.
Ogre is dumb, psyker is your generic crazy psyker, fanatic goes from love the emperor to love the emperor and tolerate your friends and marksman, good lord i am a happy man i never have to hear a single line about fucking cadia and the general joke being, ogre is dumb and everyone likes him or at least tolerates him.
While i can remember a shit ton of lines from vermitide that have either become community memes or just are funny when they happen, i honestly can´t remember a single one from darktide and its not really due to them being voiced badly, they just are incredibly dull and forgettable.
You lost your point when you spelt psyker wrong
@@madmonty4761 gotta love grammar nazis, you spell one word wrong and your whole argument is moot, very nice.
@@Thedefenses your argument is horrible anyway
Most of the baseline stuff comes from the lore, so if its problematic, blame 40k itself.
but does female loner need a hug?
Darktide voice lienes are a joke compared vermintide 2
I like when the flamer screams NUUUUUUUURRRRRGGLE
