"SAR, I'D LIKE TO REPORT THAT WE HAVE NOT BIN AMBUSHED SAH" "Yeh?

I was chuckling endlessly when there was a group of stupid stuck up nobles observing the mission and I can almost hear him biting his tongue as he get more frustrated with them or when Ranik turns up and he's all "Can I help you sir" "No, I'm just here to observer" "Oh thank you sir, nothing helps a mission run smoothly like having the boss breathing down your neck . . . sir"

[@Mecha_phant0m]

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.

[@TheTeletrap]

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.

[@KillerOrca]

He do like his Ogryns though. "Good, big man, good!"

[@Flannel-Channel8837]

I really like the male savants voicelines. The savant in general suprised me. I at first thought it was gonna be a whiny moralist.

Everyone knows the best voiceline is the Ogryn trying to say Medicae "Medi-Medicici-Medidicici-Medi" LMFAOOO

[@bitzthe8bit668]

On the topic of voicelines, my Darktide wishlist consists of the backstory you pick generating a blacklist and whitelist of dialogue options your character can/can't speak (aka, blacklisting Bully Ogryn's "Puny Cadia" lines when responding to the "Eye of Terror" conversation if he lived on Cadia, whitelisting lines of Loose Cannon Veteran getting codenames of enemies and items correct if you picked Progena or Elite Formation, etc.)

[@forgottenalex]

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.

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.

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.

[@spamhere1123]

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.

[@Tremadog102]

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. 🤣

[@meltdown4126]

Melk seems to be very fond of Psykers

[@Avera9eWh1teShark6]

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.

[@spamhere1123]

He is not only fantastically voice acted, he is fantastically written. There's an entire character journey in just his tone of voice. Sure, he hates the enemy with all his being. And he leans fully into that, because the Imperium encourages, praises, practically enforces that. It's the right kind of hatred. But that most certainly is not all he hates. He also hates everyone else, a hatred that is thinly veiled by warnings that he's watching for traitors and turncoats. He feels betrayed, let down, like all the millennia of blood and sacrifice of his home was not honored by the Imperium at large, and they failed to aid Cadia enough in her hour of need. And though he will never, EVER admit it, even to himself, he probably hates the Emperor deep inside. For if the God Emperor is so great, how could he let this happen? Is he a fraud? Does he just not care about us? Have I been lied to all this time? Of course he knows these thoughts he can't help himself from having are absolute blasphemy and faithlessness, which is one of the many reasons for his last hatred: He hates himself. Of course he does. He feels he failed everyone. He lost. And he still lives. He feels it's all his fault. And here is, doubting the Emperor in his mind, which only contributes to his self loathing. So to cope, he directs every ounce of that rancid, bitter rage on the enemy, because that's where it should go...but there's so much that it spills over onto his teammates, his comrades, and himself. I can hear this entire story just from the tone of his voice.

[@smellycat57]

I also really like the lines the characters say when they slay special, elite and boss enemies. It's like mini-celebrations of the kill they made and it makes it feel like the characters are active in what's happening in the gameplay

[@MalfunctionWhocares]

I like the little slip ups some characters can make, revealing that they actually do care about you, at least a little bit more than they let on. Even the mission handlers, usually adamant of the "You're disposable and if you die I won't really care" approach can show some empathy. Morrow in particular has a few different lines, for example he usually is the one to tell Rejects about new happenings and his personal advice such as telling them to be extra careful around Commisar Dukane, in which he even acknowledges the Rejects backtalking him and giving him shit sometimes, saying that he lets us get away with it while warning us that Dukane will immediately kill us if we try to pull something like that. Besides that, he seems to give a lot more praise compared to other handlers, telling the team they did a good job, that he "couldn't ask for a better result", etc, while also telling them to be careful and come back alive in pre-mission briefings. Similarly, in Grim Protocols update, an almost guaranteed type of banter between Zola and Rannick is her being angry that Rannick is still going around with a light "Eh if they die who gives a shit" attitude, not just because of completing the mission, she seems to genuinely care about the well-being of you and the other strike team members. Besides that, there are a couple of conversations that involve Rejects mentioning a positive conversation with Zola, such as one of the Psykers asking the group if they think that Psyker can resist daemonic possession, mentioning that Zola reassured them that they can. Besides empathy, I also rather like when the Zealot's have slip-ups in their usual stalwart behavior, getting flustered or confused at other rejects, or just willing to open up a little. An example I like is one of the Veteran + Zealot bonding conversations, which amounts to Veteran saying that they're aware of Zealot swearing a lot and shouting (moreso than usual) when they think they're alone, to which the Zealot admits they do it cause it helps calm and de-stress themselves, Veteran says they don't mind and that the Zealot can do it all they want within earshot, and the Zealot sheepishly says that "they'll think about it" with an obvious implication of thankfulness.

[@nicholasdominguez3952]

The Rejects have voicelines on the Mourningstar as well, though these are almost always triggered by announcements over the Vox. One of my favorite lines is when the shipmistress announces that due to supply limitations, everyone will be going on 3/4th rations. If there is an Ogryn in your instance of the Mourningstar, you'll hear them yell "Grut me! This is bad!" 😂

"MAGNIFICENT EMPEROR GRANT ME HATRED"

[@desgroid]

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”

[@piotrkozowski2180]

[@Fissiccisst1]

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.

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.

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.
