History Heartwarming / VermintideII

'''Bardin:''' Aye, it is that. They mean well, but it's not the same.

* On a Meta level, Tim Bentnick was asked to record a message as Saltzpyre for a fan who was struggling with mental health. He obliged with a very heartwarming dialogue where Saltzpyre assures the fan that suffering from depression does not make him a lesser man, praises him for his strength, and urges him to lean on his friends for support. It calls to mind Victor's own struggles and near descent into madness before finding the resolve to become a warrior priest of Sigmar.

-->'''Kruber:''' Join the army, they said. One big adventure and a shiny uniform. Well, I've certainly had that. Death and glory it is!
-->'''Kerillian:''' It matters not. We owe all to the Weave. Our lives, and our deaths. Come!
-->'''Sienna:''' So we're all going to die? Hah! If I had a bottle of brandy for every time I've heard that.
-->'''Saltzpyre:''' It will be a righteous death. Better than most earn. I am content. On!
-->'''Bardin:''' One last heroic effort? How can I say no?

-->'''Kruber:''' I guess you and me are even more on the same side these days. You know, Bretonnia and Athel Loren. The Old Alliance.
-->'''Kerillian:''' I have no alliance with meat, Kruber. You're part of the problem.
-->'''Kruber:''' Yeah... can't help but read a threat into that, if I'm honest.
-->'''Kerillian:''' Oh, hush. I'd never hurt you. When the moment comes, it'll be painless.
-->''[...]''
-->'''Kruber:''' That crack you made before. About the painless death. Not gonna lie... it hurt my feelings.
-->'''Kerillian:''' I'm... I'm sorry, Kruber. Truly. What I am now... it's like the best of what I used to be, and the worst. Does that make any sense to you?
-->'''Kruber:''' I know you just apologised for something. Never heard that before. Might be there's hope for you yet.
-->'''Kerillian:''' There's no hope for any of us. Not one branch. Not one leaf.

-->'''Bardin:''' Look, wutelgi... Lohner asked me to have a word with you. He's worried you've become a bit... edgy... since, you know...
-->'''Kerillian:''' So he sends one obsessive to fix another? I'm not a machine to be repaired, Goreksson.
-->'''Bardin:''' I know... but I do know a little about poor choices made for good reasons. Thought it might help.
-->'''Kerillian:''' You're a good friend. I'll try to remember that. If I'm allowed.

-->'''Bardin:''' Wutelgi, listen I wanted to -
-->'''Kerillian:''' Leave me be, Goreksson. I've had my fill of your questions.
-->'''Bardin:''' Look. Just between us. I just wanted to say that I understand. Sometimes the only way to work out who you are is to be someone else.
-->'''Kerillian:''' Aye. Maybe. I don't know any longer. I don't know what it all means.
-->'''Bardin:''' Then make it mean something.

-->'''Saltzpyre:''' These are bleak times Kruber.
-->'''Kruber:''' I see. Well you don't need to worry about me, I'm in this to the end.
-->'''Saltzpyre:''' Good Kruber, good. You restore my faith. As long as there are men like you and I, the Empire will never fall.

-->'''Be'lakor:''' Sienna, wouldn't you like to see Sofia again? I can make that possible.
-->'''Sienna:''' Oh come. A daemon's promise isn't worth the stale breath that carries it. We all know that.
-->'''Be'lakor:''' But wouldn't you like to have a family again?
-->'''Sienna:''' I've already got one. I'll choose them over you any time.

-->'''Kruber:''' I didn't know dwarfs worshipped the Dark Gods.
-->'''Kerillian:''' They don't. Not true dwarfs. Most of them live out east, in the land of spires and flame.

-->'''Kerillian:''' About your kin...
-->'''Bardin:''' Ha! Came to make another joke at my expense?
-->'''Kerillian:''' I was just going to say, it's hard to be alone among the mayflies.
-->'''Bardin:''' Aye, it is that. They mean well, but it's not the same.
