On a semi-related note: I notice that I am not spending enough time in the Keep because I donât know like ANY of the new career dialogues. Which is ⌠a shame ⌠and a waste. Fatshark would it be possible that the new career dialogues could ALSO happen during missions (maybe even give us an option to disable comments for âThis way, that wayâ as every Cataclysm player KNOWS the way and it disrupts actual interesting dialogues).
To some of the new dialogues which I found interesting. Mostly OE and SotT (GK are more light-hearted and fun instead of providing background lore):
- Family matters concerning Bardin
B: The mining accident at Karak Norn. It was my fatherâs fault. Disengaged the pneumatic supports - called 'em newfangled umgak. Then the quake hit.
K: And your uncle took the blame?
B: Took the burden for his brother, who died a hero getting other miners to safety. Wouldnât expect you to understand.
K: Youâre asking me if I understand pride, and shame? Hah.
K: So, have you other family still in this grey world of ours?
B: Why do I reckon you already know the answer?
K: So suspicious, Master Dwarf. But yes, Lohner told me. Youâve a daughter, I understand?
B: Aye, I do, and a canny lass she is too. Has forgotten more about engineering that I ever learned. Captains a monitor out of Barak Varr nowadays
K: Your wifeâs made quite a name for herself I hear, Goreksson?
B: Do I have no secrets left?
K: One. And Iâll not ask about that.
B: Hmph. Yes, Greldaâs a dab hand with an axe. You should see her whenâs the scent of gobbo blood in her nostrils. Youâd like her.
K: But she doesnât care for you any longer?
B: Lifeâs complicated. Not everythingâs forever.
K: Aye. True enough.
- People expecting some Engineer âmagicâ
M: So, I guess we can expect to see a few dwarfen upgrades around here.
B: Might be - but donât you go confusing me with a common tinkerer. Iâm an artist.
M: You sound like Catrinne. Eating all those paintbrushes has obviously had an effect.
B: I shanât dignify that with a response.
V: Perhaps you should use your newfound standing with the Engineerâs Guild to get our weapons improved?
B: Itâs not so simple as that. Iâm more what you could describe as âself-taughtâ.
V: But what of structure! Discipline! The judgement of oneâs peer? You have no one against whom to measure yourself!
B: I know. I find it liberating
- This one I find quite intriguing:
B: Well dawri, our journeys up north have been something, havenât they?
K: I⌠remain undecided. I expected something else.
B: It could be worse. Then again, couldnât it always?
It âmightâ refer to the Citadel of Eternity. If true then the U5 did NOT find what they expected - meaning either no gods, not the gods thex expected or not the answer they expected.
- Kerillian being emo. I like the first one here the most, kinda heartwarming
B: Look, wutelgi⌠Lohner asked me to have a word with you. Heâs worried youâve become a bit⌠edgy⌠since, you knowâŚ
K: So he sends one obsessive to fix another? Iâm not a machine to be repaired, Goreksson.
B: I know⌠but I do know a little about poor choices made for good reasons. Thought it might help.
K: Youâre a good friend. Iâll try to remember that. If Iâm allowed.
K: Did I make a mistake, Goreksson? Becoming what I am?
B: Why ask me? I donât know owt about magic and elgi goddesses.
K: Aye, but you do make a lot of mistakes. In this, if nowhere else, Iâd value your counsel.
B: Very wise - hang on, what was that?
B: Wutelgi, listen I wanted to -
K: Leave me be, Goreksson. Iâve had my fill of your questions.
B: 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.
K: Aye. Maybe. I donât know any longer. I donât know what it all means.
B: Then make it mean something.
This one is kinda brutal and funny at the same time:
K: The world is so different now. I no longer hear the Weave⌠I feel it pulsing where my heart used to be.
B: You had a heart?
K: Want me to show you yours? Atharti could have it for a snack.
More mocking of Kruberâs lady
K: About the Lady of the Lake
M: No. Not listening. Had enough of that now.
K: I was just wondering⌠when she handed you the grail⌠did you get a good look at her ears?
M: Lalalala, canât hear you! Sorry.
And Kerillian having more than one patron now. Like a large Kerillian discount and each god can get a part of it:
B: I donât blame you for needing more than one godly patron, wutelgi. After all your gods are such frail, brittle things.
|K: The gods? Maybe. The goddesses? No. They nurse a grudge like you wouldnât believe, and it makes them mighty.
Iâve skipped on the ones mocking Kruberâs accent or Kerillian being a tree now. But again Fatshark. I didnât hear a SINGLE ones of these because they only play in the keep when other careers are around which rarely happens in quickplay. Either make them available in the missions OR give us NPCs in the keep where we can actively trigger these dialogues.
