So far, she seems to be a very generic, one dimensional character. The stereotypical “I’m a collosal b1tch because I’m a commissar” type. You all know the type. This is just sloppy writing to me, because anyone in leadership will know that you will never gain respect by acting like this, commissar or not (read Gaunt’s Ghosts). I am predictating it will go an even more stereotypical route, where she “has her own motivations, dont get in her way.”

As of right now, Morrow is the only NPC that isnt completely stereotypical and one dimensional. Hadron is a close second.

You only know how she presents herself, not what she thinks or does. I can think of plenty of reasons why she behaves the way she does. It is unusual for a Commissar to be in charge of a Regiment, as you would also know by reading Gaunt’s Ghosts – she might be asserting herself really strongly because she is afraid her authority will not be recognized otherwise. It is made very clear in Gaunt’s Ghosts that Gaunt is special and exceptionally good at leadership and he is frequently contrasted with Commissars that don’t understand the art of inspiration as well as he does.

Also, I suspect her behavior or her attitude would not be perceived as irritating if she was a man instead of a woman. This is also very common.

Commissar Dukane definitely “activates my neurons”, if you catch my meaning.

I think nothing about that.

I suppose you speak about an NPC… and as I don’t care of this part of the game, I did not even notice there was a new one.

Almost every female character with the exception of Hadron is written badly and annoying to the point of needing to be muted.

I don’t understand how Fatshark dropped the ball so hard in Darktide after writing great ones like Sienna, her sister, Oleysha and even Kerillian.

Every single one in Darktide boils down to ‘hurr I’m so tough and the best’ and it’s frankly boring.

Male ones aren’t anything to write home about either.

That’s contemporary writing for you. It usually lands somewhere in the realm of utter dogshite to pretty decent. This is in there somewhere. I wouldn’t say it’s horrible or whatever, I’d say it’s fine. That being said I think if they want a total side character to be of any real interest to people, there needs to be more thought put into it. The voice acting felt pretty mediocre to me as well. Like someone who tries really hard to sound tough in a completely transparently fake sort of way whilst still supposedly trying to portray someone who is actually really tough.

Eh, she’s a one-note character who was effectively introduced as moderately incompetent in the trailer (trying to take over from the Reject Warband, her Guardsmen getting bodied hard by basic heretic mobs) so she’s not made a great impression.

She’s honestly a pretty bad commissar

Real commissars lead from the front and gun down their own troops

Until I see her do this I’m going to consider her a bad commissar

Well, considering she wasn’t “accidentally blown up by a frag nade that was tossed from behind somehow” she’s doing ok.

Needs more team killing

I at least need a cutscene where she blams one of the 52nd regiment guardsmen

Otherwise is she really a commissar

Considering how it was with Zola, we will know that from…vox comms and diary blogs outside of the game, yep.

The most russian russian to ever russian. Truly a pinnacle of character design.

I don’t have an opinion of her yet, but she seems exactly the type of person a Commissar is, so I ultimately don’t really care all too much. Just another person to yell at me that I suck when I’ve single-handedly completed over 500 operations on Atoma and have a kill count in the hundreds of thousands.
