Depends on the settings you're running it on I think.

Not only does Saltzpyre have my favorite weapons, he has a bunch of my favorite lines! Really chews the scenery, especially when he gets going. That said, the whole cast is a fun bunch.

Same. I really want to know what his abilities end up being, because I am excited as hell to stab some rats.

That seems pretty likely given that everything I've seen about 2 is that it has everything that made 1 good and then adds a bunch of fun new stuff on top of that.

No idea! They wouldn't have had to change the weapons much either.

e: Actually, my guess is that they wanted to add a repeater crossbow and that meant going Dark Elf and that meant High Elf for "balance"

Cause the Elves were just diffrent paths. And Kerillian made the choice to become one.

My keybindings reset every time. I use alt to talk why does it make me run slow.

Game is DOPE despite small inconveniences.

This happened to me after I installed on a new system a few months ago. Some of my keybindings but not all of them would reset after every loading screen, but the controls screen would only show that some of those had reset. it was very weird and it eventually stopped which I think required me to set them, quit the game and then validate files through steam

the listed system requirements are currently the same as the first game. I'd comment on the technical test's performance but NDA.

i would theoretically say that the system requirements of vermintide 2 being the same as the first game's sound like a great time if you can already run the first game

Everyone who preordered can play now. It's just under NDA at the moment. which is weird since normally once something is open to all preorders that's not the case, but eh.

Vermintide 2 owns and I'm glad the chaos enemies turned out to be cool as hell like I thought they'd be, hearing the warhorns blowing in the forest and then seeing them roll in is awesome.

I feel like Vermintide 1 on nightmare is easier than Vermintide 2 on normal. Someday I will successfully complete a mission to see how the loot/progression systems work. Maybe.

Death by Chickens

I'm assuming any details are impossible due to beta NDA, but I'm really curious if playing as a ranged character is viable this time around. In the first game ranged attacks were invaluable to fight specials and ogres but 90% of the time it was not something you could rely on to fight hordes, or you had to be so careful with ammo that it was difficult to know when to use it freely.

I've been hoping that playing as a predominately ranged character is doable this time around. So satisfying imagining a dual pistol witchhunter plowing through rats and chaos marauders. Of course I expect melee to be important no matter what, but that's my hope.

Does anyone have any details regarding this? I watched some preview vids and such but there seems to be little info.

how do they work?
I didn't play on the super hardest difficulty (my friends got bored) but i remember vermintide 1 giving me plenty of pistol's for saltz

I loved having 20 of those things to just throw away as i fired into a horde.

I feel the same. I think its just because they added a power rating to weapons, and people are used to playing VT1 with their oranges/reds instead of scrubby starter weapons.

Also would anyone happen to know the setting I need to tweak to fix the "Metal and shiny gore still appearing bright as hell in dark areas" thing? That's been the only visual jank I've run into in 2.
