  Halberd looks so good Huntsman class description also mentions "the arrow and the bullet" so it's possible the sgt will get bows.

Will there be a level ala Condemned 2 where the personified aspects of everyone's demons come to attack the characters and by beating them, they overcome them?

When they showed a game play stream a month or so back, he showed up on the demo mission. He shot wave of blight that travel along the ground and then explode into lingering clouds. Also tried to teleport away and behind mooks when the PCs close in on him. I wonder if he may have other abilities?

Sounds like there's a lot of new kinds of special enemies, what with every kind of special rat returning, new rats, and the football team has their own set of specials. I wonder if every level will have the potential for every kind of special enemy to appear in it at any time, or if a given mission will tell you you might encounter a specific set of specials to encourage you to bring appropriate counters.

Okay I think I figured out what's been bugging me about the promo material beyond the obligatory complaint that nobody playing in promos is as good at video james as me: My worry is that while the Skaven and their extreme gribbly-ness may be present to some degree, in refocusing on big beefy marauders they're gonna lose out on the overwhelming tide of, uh, vermin feeling but because the marauders are common enemies and not specials they're not gonna replace that swarming feeling with anything like Stormvermin behavior where you have to deal with swarms on autopilot while also reading the Stormvermin animation or else get severely punished. So what could've been a really entertaining new enemy class is just... rats, but bigger and damage-spongier and there's less of them, and they just moan and roar blandly instead of jeering in Skaven pidgin and crawling out of weird cracks to ambush you. I'm kinda getting the impression that what they're trying to do is broaden the ability of the AI director to pace a level on a more granular gradient than lots of skavenslaves -> maybe some stormvermin or other specials -> ogre + swarm, and that's cool! I can definitely imagine a way it can work really well. But I haven't really seen it yet from the released videos so far, which mostly seems to be proofs of character concept rather than having the actual gameplay rhythms nailed down.

Bogart posted:So he's a gas rat? For what I remember, similar but not quite the same. The projectile is MUCH faster and seems to have some homing capacity, and the cloud if only about 25% the gas rat size. Seems like he is more focused on sniping out single targets as oppose to denying a large area.

They said there are 3x as many different specials as in the first. A large enough pool that you can go several missions without necessarily seeing a given type. Some areas may weighted to favor either skaven or chaos, but either can show up anywhere.

The football team is definitely the worst and most worrying thing seen so far, they look incredibly spongey and slow to fight compared to rats and I am holding out for a Back to Vermintide mod that just gets rid of chaos poo poo entirely

Nagash unleashing the undead upon the world and Settra getting super pissed about it, the Skaven full scale assault and moon destruction and prank calling the 40K dimension, and the Greenskin rampage are all great parts of the End Times, but they all get hosed by the Chaos plot superseding them.

Yeah I'm 100% with you guys who are worried it's gonna lose its tide of vermin character with these tofu-block-lookin' marauder fuckers. It's diving into three dozen pink rats with Swift Slaying on a wide-sweep weapon that keeps me playing this game. I really don't want to have to put real work into anything appearing with a mook's frequency. Anyway why is the Wizard in Rehab the one who loves tossing fireballs and the Wizard on a Bender the one with melee talent? I'd think the "cutting loose" one would be throwing AoE fire everywhere and the "restrained" one would settle for swords and judicious buffs. I even could have sworn there was something written in the WHFRP books about fire wizards wielding swords as a restraining and self-tempering technique, so they didn't magic everything and go off the deep end. Do we know all 15 careers? Fatshark's site doesn't list all three elves.

And for Kerellian we know that she is a Dark Elf Shade, and I will assume a Wood Elf Waywatcher and a High Elf Swordmaster or White Lion.
