Darktide - Psyker breaks fourth wall - Rejects voicelines and dialogue #7

Warhammer 40k Darktide squad dialogue/voice lines compilation and gameplay

[@Necracudda]

My favorite Psyker quote. “I’m sensing fear, rage, and foreshortened lifespans” *Realizes Subtitles said the wrong thing* “No, I said FOUR shortened lifespans, not foreshortened lifespans! Why are you not paying attention!? LOOK AT ME NOT AT THEM!”

[@trainfan-ks5hk]

Shame the female psyker doesn’t do the same

[@admiralpavelnakhimov8755]

Yep, definitely the best

[@zaniatnik]

Heard it today. Thought the subs were bugged and didn’t include a lot of the actual tirade. Anything beyond the subtitles wasn’t really audible at that distance, so everything went over my head. Playing an Ogryn at that moment, I guess that wasn’t out of character for me.

[@DrSmugface]

@@zaniatnik roleplay is half the fun

[@cptasscheeks8669]

I don't think it's a fourth wall break referencing the subs, I think it's just because four shortened and foreshortened sound very similar

[@talonofblades06]

Psycher already breaks fourth wall, one of their unique loading screen animation is just staring at you through the computer screen while on the transport.

[@fayannasteele2844]

Psykers in general in Darktide are much, much funnier if you picture their conversation with the Emperor more similar to Emperor Text-to-Speech's personality. Some of the ways they reply to what unheard Emps is saying are perfect for that kind of personality, such as "NO, BELOVED, it's not a good dog!" meaning the Emperor must have said something along the lines of "Oh, look at that cute pupper. Who is the best dog? Who's a good dog?" Or commenting that the Inquisitors 'misunderstand his message' is perfectly in line with an unseen Man-Emperor raging about idiots in the ecclesiarchy ruining his perfect Imperium with the Psyker trying to be polite about translating it.

[@jehova131]

This is now my headcannon, its too fucking funny not to make it thus.

gotta love that the game punctuated the psyker talking about "dying a hideous death alone" by spawning a beast of nurgle right on cue.

[@discountplaguedoctor88]

Assuming that the psyker's 'beloved' is Emps himself, that new Ecclesiarch is likely Decius himself. Pope Shafthat the 23rd, if you're cultured.

[@blam320]

Ah yes, Shlongtop. And yes, I'm 99% certain that "Beloved" is indeed the Emperor, or at least one of the more pleasant shards of his being, considering he offers tours of the Imperial Palace and consistently guides the "Dreamer" personality with what seems to be visions of what the Emperor intended the Imperium to be, while lamenting the squalor of the Underhive.

I do believe he is. The Emperor communicates through the Tarot typically, but the opening of the Great Rift might have expanded his talks with distant human Psykers across the universe.

I don’t have _Darktide_ yet, but I thought I already knew which voices I wanted for my characters. Professional Veteran, Bodyguard Ogryn, Savant Psyker, and Judge Zealot. Now, I’m not sure if I want Savant or Seer for my Psyker, or Judge or Fanatic for Zealot. I’m thinking Fanatic; Judge’s perpetual booming is becoming more and more uncanny the more videos I see.

[@Jadenyoung1]

The loner female psyker is also fun. She spouts heresy almost always, which is hilarious with the zealot. Psyker and zealot in general are hilarious together

[@Ozcogger]

Regardless of what you choose for either Psyker or Zealot you should seriously consider the Women for the VO. They have some of the better sounding interactions. The Ladies absolutely killed it for this game.

[@pyerack]

I only ran Judge Zealot for a Kratos meme as he reminded me of the voice but it was too much work to commit to the bit.

[@LtSprinkulz]

They reference Ratlings so much. I hope we gat a playable Ratling focused on sniping, sneaking, and generally being small and precious.

[@wither5673]

i swear the psykers are talking about their beloved because when they became sanctioned they got tied to one of the emperors skitzo fragments floating around in the warp lol.

[@MrCovi2955]

I don't know that the psyker saying that he's doing this same mission "over and over and over and over" again is breaking the fourth wall. You can get briefs from different agents for the same mission, implying that its a different time you're being sent in to fight for the same thing. Idk, I didn't get the feeling that this was like L4D or Vermintide where each mission was a chapter of a story so much as these are the uncountable and insurmountable tasks that they keep sending the disposable prisoners down to do. And that the reason we kept hitting the same places was because that's where the battle lines are.

[@blam320]

The Dreamer psycher also has voicelines where they get major deja-vus, and will mention they think they've "done all this before" in a worried tone.

[@TewbBelrog]

In the same vein, I don't think the whole foreshortened lifespans spiel as many players incessantly praise is really a fourth wall break either. First time I heard it it fell perfectly in context whereby his squadmates were giving him silent judgement and choosing not to engage in his schizophrenic outburst.

[@mckanescott9423]

Me, just realizing the "beloved" that that psycher personality is referring to is either the emperor himself or the player

[@srbrant5391]

Not sure if his "Beloved" is the Emperor or his new waifu from the latest holo-drama.

[@TheSchultinator]

So long as "waifu" doesn't mean "Slanneshi demonette", no harm in it, I say

[@MrGemHunter]

Whatever it is he thinks its the Emperor, if he's sanctioned it could very well be some lingering Imperial warp spirit, or a construct in his head... or it could really just be the Emperor, or a shard of the Emperor, he seems to know a lot more than he should about what Big E was really like

[@Neromanser]

3:57 Was comedic timeing gold

[@StojanceM]

I just thought they're talking to warp entity or some type of daemon, that's kinda hinted by the good dog comment. It make a lot more sense lore wise for them to hear the voice of a daemon then the Emperor without them imploding or vaporizing in a bright red mist. You might think that's a bit unrealistic but when Roboute Guilliman spoke to his father, he described that experience as, and I quote "The living Emperor had been an artful being, as skilled at hiding his thoughts as he was at reading those of others. *What remained of him was powerful beyond comprehension*, but it lacked the subtlety he had whilst he walked among men. *Speaking with the Emperor had been like conversing with a star. The Emperor’s words burned him.*" So if an actual Primarch had difficulties speaking to the emperor, their own biological father, a psyker somewhere billion of miles out in space would light up like a firecracker.

[@blam320]

Keep in mind, Guilliman spoke to whatever remained of the Emperor on the Golden Throne, which is a shattered being of many clashing thoughts and personalities (alluding to the Shaman formation). We've seen that as much, if not more of the Emperor resides in the Warp, where it has become a being as powerful as a Chaos God in their place of greatest strength. This was likely created as a combination of the parts of the Emperor which escaped his body after the duel with Horus, and was then subsequently fed by the faith and worship of trillions.
