- There is a plot detailed in this. See if you can work it out.
It came to me in lieu of a dream.

female dialogue generated by Eleven Labs
The big win here was me figuring out how to mod the Camera Freeflight mod so that I could use arrow keys for camera controls and still WASD characters. Pretty slick stuff. I was actually working on another thing but this just happened.
Oh yeah, my theory about the plot is this Zealot worked his way up through the ranks and befriended the female psyker along the way. One by one he watched all the other rejects get picked off and die. Zealot and Psyker friend made a pact that if either is injured or implicated in a crime and servitorized they'd put the other out of their misery. Well the worst happened and Psyker is injured on a mission or was just too much of a Psyker and got on the wrong side of the inquisition. So Zealot man has to kill his last friend and is now diving onto Tertium alone with only his memories for company.
Close at all? lol
You nailed it exactly.
The voice actors are going into the studio for more voice work for the game in March
Hell yeah! Content in January 2025 let's goo!
Reginald Gosling.
Loved this game for what it was. Had some of the most fun I've had playing games with it. Maybe one day it can live up to it's potential. Thanks for the memories, Reg.
Back atcha buddy. Maybe see you out there in helldiver land when the servers firm up.
If you had some of the most fun you've had playing games with this, I'm not sure what potential is left to fulfil ;-)
@@lethaface9883 I love this game but even I can see what's needed. More content mainly and more progression and less Gacha.
There are many things FS can implement to give more playability to long term players.
More mission maps and special events - how about boarding action on ships? Or missions to that rumored second spire?
More of the storyline progression
More levels than 30
More skill tree branches
More classes
More free skins that are not just recolored or re-combined free skins but maybe something else.
More of the weapons ( i.e. the Meltagun, the Bolt Pistol, Volkite Guns -if we get a Tech Priest/Skitaari class, a Power Fist for Veterans...)
A skill for Dual Weilding
Then they can remove the blessing & perk locks to reduce the gacha system to only the Stat rolls for weapons. The thing keeping players playing is not really eternal grinding but the immersion of missions where you feel like you're actually in the Grimdark.
More enemy Factions... (Other chaos factions, Genestealer Cult would be so awesome)
Pvp? I mean if it can be implemented in VT it would do even better in DT.
A publised timeplan
I think about all of this are things FS have been thinking about and even planning for. But then to retain players they should release a rough timeplan so we know.
So yeah, FS could do this to retain players, even increase numbers.
The core game and look & feel of it is awesome, no need to change that.
The truth is,
no matter how many reinforcements or supplies those fat sharks up in the Administratum send down to us,
sooner or later Atoma will be lost to the darkness.
But in me, the Emperor's light shines on.
The light shines in Me also.
No doubt ill see you out there.
the emperor protects guardsman, hold on to hope
The truth is, the game was rigged from the start
@@lordtarkus3444no...,no,no no! The inquisitors said that the cults were destroyed and that Atoma was free! That this final mission was a cleanup op and that we would go home after this! THEY SAID I'D SEE MY FATHER AFTER THIS!!
-A poor veteran guardsmen
My heart broke before his vows did.
A man never breaks his vows.
Wtf, I am in an emotionally fragile state right now and did not expect the lil voiceovers to make me cry. Great job as always Reg. PS it was a mercy you showed that poor servitor, he's been asking for it for over a year.
I'm sorry to hear about the rough times. I hope you persevere and I hope my video brought you something worthy of your time.
you're cooking with this one. Love to see the editing skills develop
Thanks a bunch, I do really appreciate your genuine feedback.
This video was worth every second of my time.
Glad you enjoyed it. Honestly took way too long to make but was really fun.
Reg, you magnificent CZcams video maker! You outdid yourself with this one.
It cuts right to the heart and your Zealot mercy-killing the med-station servitor was a great and touching moment.
I do get your meaning and yes it breaks my heart too. It is not yet farewell though, there is hope still.
The game still runs. FS still updates, though they need to do more of it and more often.
Thanks so much, I suspect this video won't get as much reach as my others but having a couple people tell me they have enjoyed this weird little experiment of mine has made my day.
The storytelling was great, and I think it needs much more recognition. What the game needs right now, more than another map or weapon is a great story. It showed with the good feedback the karnak twins provided, it showed with all vermintide's history.
@@leozaboudi8005 Yes. I hope for this.
" I made a promise Mr. Frodo. "Dont you leave her Reginald Gamgee" " A promise Mr frodo. And I dont mean to..."
1:50 mood
Definitely a strong mood
1:49 the scene has solidified two ideas in my mind: 1. We should be able to be left behind ala Titanfall.
2, we should do away with the ending screen, and have this be the ending screen showing the remaining survivors who got out, with the end stats scrolling up both on the screen in the back, and in front of the survivors.
I'm not crying.. a grain of sand got in my eye.. or nurgle juice, or something..
Honestly, this is one of your best creations so far, Reginald. It touched me and many of us
You are equally as right as the comment i pinned earlier. I really enjoyed your writeup by the way.
And thanks so much for your compliments. This was a weird project and I've recieved a pretty positive reception.
After the Helldiver hype, there will be come a couple ppl back.
At least me and my friends😂😅
Kinda funny that Helldiver has at lunch more map variety than fatshark after 2 year's...
Seems like its having its own rough launch unfortunately.
Is this a well thought out comment? Hell divers has a procedurally random map with a few biomes and no real dialog or story or cinamatics going on. Dark tide is a narrative horde shooter every step of the way and you feel like you are actually doing things with effect and consequences.
Leaving aside the conversation about map diversity, I don't think I've ever felt like there was a meaningful narrative in Darktide. Its a cool game with great set pieces but narrative?@@bengonzalez5215
@@bengonzalez5215 Oh yeah I remember those couple cutscenes in the first day of playing each character... It's the same maps and same objectives every single match, there are no effects or consequences for completing things other than my RSI and arthritis getting worse. 2000 hours in and nothing has changed except I have developed an irrational hatred for the NPCs in the Mourningstar.
@Reginald-sc9tk Yeah, really rough, on the other hand it has so much fun gameplay when u play it with friends.
Have 1000 hours in, no other game feels the same. That feeling of being in the thick of it with a eviscerator with some power metal playing on my Spotify. This game has the greatest melee combat i have played. I come from the 90s where doom and quake rained, i couldn't go back to those old games because they lack the close up melee combat.
At almost 1400 hours myself I fully agree. I just wish it was a live service game.
yeah fatshark never learns from their past games...
So I have heard. Its a shame to be honest, they make incredible games...2 years after release.
Tf2 has been dead for ages, its up to the community to keep the game alive as usual.

Waiting for the next Darktide content stimmy
Same bro.
darktide machinimas, this truly is the age of the machine
I even used machines for the voice acting
I gotta say, this was a treat I wasn't expecting. I'm into it. Keep it up, fella.
Thanks a bunch! I'm sorta collecting a database of video clips like this and might turn it into something. I dunno!
my zealot has that same voice actor. he recalled where he would wish to be if he had the choice just struck the same chord within myself. i had to take a moment to remember i’m knee deep in heretic parts and their viscera as i thought the same question to myself…
is this what i want to be doing, can i seek out and return to where i want? is it still not too late to do so, while that place may still exist and the people that brought the life that made it so special did as well?
i haven’t played since then. i am happy to hear i was not alone. and i’m even happier to say that yes, it was still there. it’s worth fighting to earn that moment again and again, while i still can.
thank you for your video. i’m seeing this trend from some of my favorite creators, touching upon the pressure of nihilism but more importantly channeling that into what they are passionate about. i hope you are doing well.
I appreciate the things you said here and you're right about that. I am working to drive at things I am passionate about and I am pleased to hear you're doing the same. But there is also a sense of ennui and nihilism in the culture that is juxtaposed with a sense of potentiality. I dunno how well I captured any of that, or what a player might feel at 3AM
I'm guessing the slow in Darktide content has to do with Versus for Vermintide, and once that's all rolled out we'll see more consistent DT content. However, with how player count trends are looking, I kind of doubt we'll be getting as much consistency as the golden age we had from August to November. I still have faith we're gonna see a ton of good stuff in the future, just between noticeable breaks in development as more of a slow burn live service. Let's just pray to the Emperor that we at least get a new class this year, some new heretics to encounter, and many new tools of holy judgement to slay them with 🙏
God Emperor willing we actually get a NEW tool instead of just another mark. Unfortunately the pace for DT is too slow to retain a thriving community after their botched launch. Shame too because the core of the game, barring crafting, is wonderful.
Oh yeah, no kidding. *New* weapons are really important to add at this point, considering we haven't gotten anything new in over a year now, and even then the two that we got were only for two of the classes. Who knows, maybe they'll be able to pull a Cyberpunk and claw Darktide back into relevance, but until that happens, let's just hope they can somehow pick up some of the momentum from where they left off from with the Orthus Offensive. @@Reginald-sc9tk
I think a big portion of the player base is just on Helldivers 2 right now. I was playing Darktide daily until Helldivers dropped.
I think you're right but I would say the content dirth is a big part of it.
You cannot lose faith, brother. We need your guiding light as a beacon against the darkness. Your hymnals reach far and wide, are heard by many, and revered. The slaughter will continue, even though we may be few, we will cleave to His light.
I can't quit until I hit 1mil heretics purged
yooooo! Signalis reference! 4:17
*DiCaprio pointing meme*
You caught me
Thank you for makng this. Montov, the Judge Zealot, is still somewhere out the, purging on Atoma. Even if I can't bring myself to play for now, he'll be waiting for me when I can go back.
Semper Fidelis. Some might call us Rejects, but the core of the community had each other to make memories with.
Here here to that. I know I met a lot of fun people and had great games with a lot of people.
Aw, that's sad.
Any proper cyberpunk themed story is a tragedy. It only seemed right.
Ah all good, my crew and I still rip and tear for the Emperor!
i've watched this 7 time since you uploaded...i think it's your editing :) really touching story
Thank you very much! I probably shouldn't admit this but I've watched it a few dozen times myself. Something about it captures my imagination.
Vibing to this rn
This song is good as heck
I found Narvent's music online and kinda fell in love.
The fact that Darktide is on hold AGAIN for this cringe versus garbage in V2 is unreal..
Is that what's going on? Either way its been like 3 months since we got anything and a year since we got new weapons. Feels bad.
That doesn't seem to be true though. They are probably cooking up something big and being hush-hush about it because they don't know how to do proper PR without pissing people off
@@darkdwarf007I hope you're right.
The copium for a company that burns you every year is actually unreal. Remember when the game came out and they went on vacation 😂. Same people thought they were cooking a patch when they were off for a month.
@@cavc1979 Despite all of that Darktide is still the best 40K Grimdark FPS game made.
So if we want to play in that setting there's no alternative.
Could FS do better? Sure. Do I hope they will improve? Yes.
Is it copium? Yeah, I guess so.
Sometimes that's all you have.
Game is far from dead, its still pulling double the playercount of vermintide 2, a game which is way, waaaaaayyyy older, more whats happened is that the players who were playing it cuz it was popular have moved on, and we are now left with the nieche community that spesificly loves this type of game.
I love this game, obviously, but I think its fair to point out that the playerbase has cratered again and its not just because Helldivers came out. Its because there hasn't been content in a quarter. It's a live service game that only provides occasional updates in 3 out of 4 quarters of the year. I mean that's not precisely true but its true in the sense of no major updates for 3 months. Yes 13-15 were bangers. But niche is where we landed.
"Pulling double the playercount" of a 6 year old game is not an impressive feat. Doubly so when one considers how much more popular 40k is than warhammer fantasy. Darktide's player count on steam is back down to below what it was this time last year. It's not good no matter how you look at things.
Helldivers certinly didnt help and yeah Fatshark is to blame here, im just saying neiche does not equal dead.@@Reginald-sc9tk
Now that's storytelling! This video goes hard.
Thanks very much! It was one of those projects you start in the middle of the night and don't sleep until its done.
Darktide is an amazing game, but yeah sadly the lack of new major updates, just to get new marks for weapons, and Fatshark trying to whale us with recolor skins, is a whole that made me leave the game. At least for now.
It is probably one of my top 5 games, in which i had a blast playing, destroying mutants and heretics alike. I hope a major update will come soon enough to give a breath of fresh air. Until then, i will still serve humanity, by fighting Silica Anima and Xenos on Helldivers. But Tertium will call me back. It always do.
Some of the best gameplay of any game yet some seriously bad decisions hold it back for sure.
@@Reginald-sc9tkSo true.
Best core game with worst decisions I've ever experienced. I love the good parts so much it hurts and the bad parts... I manage but I see the damage it does.
The RNG hell especially and slow drip-feed storyline.
FS needs to unleash its' full potential, it has so much of it.
Fascinating
Thanks for coming and enjoying my little work.
The servitor thanks you for your service
Someone had to set her free.
Don't worry y'all, as soon as Jackfrags does another DT video we will be right as rain. The emperor protects.
Do do considerate. The drizzle in sweden in particularly heavy this time of the year!
In all seriousness when they released their game in 2022 they didnt put out a major update till february 23 or something. Heres my two cents of coping. Either way though it beats waiting for elden ring updates :^)
Content someday no doubt! Until then I guess there's hell divers.
@@Reginald-sc9tk For Freedom and Moderated Democracy!
I'm just waiting out the horrible bugs I keep hearing about. Once things are stable and I can enjoy it I'll be hopping in. @@gentleusurper4778
@@Reginald-sc9tk took two days after buying to play cause servers were always full, lol
Yeah, a lot of my bros are playing right now but they've been telling me about all the trouble they're having. They'll tell me when things are stable lol. @@gentleusurper4778
didn't realise that i was unsubbed. love your video and half dead game
Welcome!
Much appreciated. I too love this half dead game.
We need dat live service. Fat Sharky please.
Man we so do. New weapons is top of my list. New enemies after that.
only a couple thousand away from 1,000,000 kills, might take play a game or 2 every once and a while until they do a big update after that.
Man that's fun! I think I'm still at like 700k
Okay dokie I understand we have been waiting a long time now for new content etc, but completely dead? Ive not had an issue getting full lobbies etc. But I am getting a little bored with the maps. Hell divers, well its something different but I'm a Warhammer fan so darktide and vermintide I'll always go back to. Abit like how I find myself going back to Fallout or Kotor and even further back, the original Fable 😊
Its not fully dead, just dead in spirit. It can be saved but right now it feels so empty to play it. Unfixed audio bugs from 3 months ago aren't helping.
games far from dead its probably in the best state its ever been in.
Yes I agree it's the best state it's ever been, with almost no bugs anymore and the player numbers are still twice what it had at its' lowest. But it could be 10 times that, like it was on release.
Let me be clear, I love this game. I'll play it until they close the servers someday, with bots as company on missions. But it's so much more fun if there are real human players to Co-op with.
Darktide is the game that got me back into FPS games. It's 40K with a real Grimdark feel to it and simply so beautiful environment you tear up sometimes playing, the few times you have a free moment to enjoy it. Just as this video shows. Reginald gets this, he's the same as me in that regard.
And yet, FS still hasn't done the things so many have asked for and removed the blessing locks entirely. Are they waiting for the game to actually die first? Then a year later announce that "no, please come back players! We've removed the locks for you, no more gacha. We even added the full storyline from Abnett!"
And I'll be there alone at the gate, for a final mission. Reginald and me maybe. Maybe you too Guilliman1990, but not any more so we'd have to play a game with a bot, a final game.
Ironically I've finally been able to master dodging all the nets like a pro and it'll be a last epic mission, a clean perfect Damnation plus run. But I want it to be years and years from now. Not is say 6 months or 12.
It's just musings for now, at least for me. My server has people on it even at night still, though I might have to play a different mission or difficulty to find teammates really late at night and it is a sign. This last day will come someday and too soon if FS runs the game into the ground.
The Gacha of crafting is ok for me to stand it I guess, but it puts off new players too much and they stop playing. If I was in charge i could just fix that and then release a schedule so the fans know when to expect what. I'd also make new color variants of existing purchasable skins and make them available from completing a specific mission.
Not much new work for FS, just a treat for players who don't buy every cosmetic. I mean I buy almost all of them myself but many don't want to or can't put the money into doing that.
Add more branches to the skill trees, this can't be all that much work. I like to suggest things that aren't.
If I was to indulge in a bigger vision of changes it would be adding a Tech Priest class and Genestealer faction enemies.
That would be glorious. Will we ever get that? I don't know.
I've been with DT since before day 1 in the beta, through all the ups and downs. At this point it's not enough, plain and simple.
Hoping it can one day bring me back.
I was gonna try to write a reply but I feel this thoroughly mirrors my opinion.
1:49-2:00 I feel ya man, I feel ya. especially sucks in aus region, the player count is pretty small. i'd hoped fatshark would evolve and truly deliver with this title, but it's the same cycle as before :(
Feels bad man. I'm sure there will be other pops after big patches but still.
This was really cool. But I gotta ask, how did you get these shots? How did you remove the HUD?
There's a mod for HUD removal and a mod for camera free flight but I had to mod that mod to allow me to move my character with an independent control scheme.
@@Reginald-sc9tk Ah, okay. I'll have to look for those. Several months ago, I was looking around for the keyboard commands to remove the HUD, but it looked like there wasn't any. I had kinda given up, but now I'm going to give the mod a try.
Sad, a game I never got to play
Its not truely dead. If you're looking for something fun to do its still fabulous. There's enough players to PUG-queue.
Nothing wrong with the first 100 hours of gameplay.
Thanks for the great guides, Reginald!
Me and by friends still play DT and we're having a blast. I love your Fury build with chain axe and use it still.
So for now we still plan on continuing this game. Haven't really had problems yet getting descent teams with randoms on EU server... but we seldom play at 3 am.
Cheers!
I think average player high is like 3kish last I looked. Might be more. Totally playable numbers. I'm sure I'll be back whenever a big content drop comes out. I also have another video going out on DT itself. See ya around!
its really too bad, if fatshark would get rid of the gatcha system they would see players returning, this mobile game bullshit just pushes people away
Strong agree bro.
Yes.
the warhammer game IP is one of the biggest wastes in all of gaming. there is so much awesome lore to play with but this is what they made..
What PC specs do you have?
I forget exactly but its a very modern rig with an RTX 4090
wheres the audio of the person talking from?
Oh the female dialogue i just got using Eleven Labs. Pretty wild tech.
Darktide can be considered dead?
Depends on definition. The precipitous player decline and lack of any updates for 3 months despite being sold as a live service would meet one definition of dead. But as a business product im sure its fine and will eventually see some life again.
@@Reginald-sc9tk Keep the Faith my friend! It's not yet time for Atoma to fall into darkness. The day will come yes, but not this day, nor the next one. If you need a break from seeing the slow painful decline I do understand though.
@@Reginald-sc9tk well, at least I’m still having fun. I just got to level 30 with my vet and zealot and I’m trying out Ogryn now. The build potential still keeps me so engaged.
