History Trivia / DarkestDungeon

* AscendedFanboy: [=BaerTaffy=], one of the bigger-named streamers and Youtubers covering the game (with literally hundreds of episodes in several playlists), is the voice of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Baron]] and [[VampireHunter Fanatic]] in the Crimson Court DLC. Likewise, Youtuber and streamer Nic of Bitter Bits did the voices for the Manservant and Chevalier enemies, the Viscount boss, and the bodybags that spawn during in the Viscount fight.

* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: The Musketeer skin was originally available only to Kickstarter backers and the developers vowed to never make it available to the general public. Unfortunately, the proliferation of mods that do just that prompted them to make the Musketeer available to everyone for free along side the release of ''The Color of Madness'' with the original backers getting a free copy of the latter DLC as compensation.

** The Crusader was originally going to have a helmet that exposed his face; this design can still be seen on [[http://www.darkestdungeon.com/media/ the official website]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQLxdHfMPF8 2013 trailer]].

** Ambrosius to the Ancestor, which means "immortal." He is dead by the time the adventures take place, yet he continues to narrate. To a lesser extent, [[MemeticMutation "Local Man"]] is also thrown around.

* CastingGag: Wayne June, the voice of the Ancestor, has lent his voice to a number of [[http://www.waynejune.com/audiobook_reviews.html acclaimed audiobooks]] of the works of Creator/HPLovecraft and Creator/EdgarAllanPoe.
* FanNickname: The Occultist's Abyssal Artillery is occasionally referred to as "Ceiling Spaghetti", due to the visual being eldritch tentacles from above (usually inside roofed caverns and ruins) slapping the enemy around.

** No matter how many Highwaymans and Crusaders the players go through, you'll always find someone who just refers to all of them as Dismases and Reynaulds.

** The Musketeer class, exclusive to Kickstarter Backers who donated $49 or more, was originally planned to have her own unique moveset, before Red Hook realized that having a class with a unique moveset exclusive to Kickstarter Backers would be unfair. They settled on making her a MovesetClone of the Arbalest instead.
