Lore and story questions

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 General Discussion
1

Hello. I’ll start by commending the interactions Fatshark is having with us. It’s a great change of pace compared to the first two years of release.

Something I haven’t seen, and that I’d very much like to see is the equivalent of development posts, but from a story perspective: something that could answer the story-related questions we might have gathered over time.

I’ll share a few of the questions that are on top of my mind:
Has Bardin been dyeing his hair? I was surprised by the grey beard when OE released.
Why is Saltzpyre suddenly strongly against the idea of Drachenfels being real? He had no such qualms in the first game.
Is the finale of Righteous Stand divine intervention by Sigmar? What about the U5 surviving the warp-stone implosion at Untermeis?
Is there an explanation for the landscape differences in the new dwarven maps beside the rule of cool? (I’m referring to the larger cliff-face and the big bridge in the second map and the water at the end of the last one)

EDIT: is trial of the foolhardy canon?

I can answer maybe two of these, the rest I’d need to ask our lore masters. :slight_smile:

  • Has Bardin been dyeing his hair? I was surprised by the grey beard when OE released. From my understanding, it’s stress. Since the careers aren’t something they switch between day-to-day canonically, he’s not suddenly grey one day and auburn the next (or is he?). Or maybe he’s just been eating the paintbrush pigment.
  • Is the finale of Righteous Stand divine intervention by Sigmar? I believe it is, yes.

Ah, nice. My personal theory was that, like he’d been pretending to be a much cheerier guy than he actually is, when he stopped with the pretenses he stopped dyeing as well.
