He's always been grumpy and unhappy, sienna comments about him beeing awefully cheery for being in the end times. Bardin always tried to be cheery to not only fool the ones around him but also himself to forget his past. Now he's accepted it and instead of being something he's unhappy about he now follows his passion wich is engineering.
@@bluntlyhonest6803 Indeed i have and i myself am also guilty of doing this, why ? Because its easier to pretend everything is ok than to explain how you truely feel even to really close friends/family.
@@cherryrook8684 I know i'm just a stranger on the internet, but Do it. Talk to the ones who are close to you, even if they seemingly dismis you at first its simply because they don't know how to deal with such bomb being dropped on them, whatever it is that bothers you or makes you depressed it's 10 times easier to deal with when there is someone to lean on. Take it from me, that's how i dealt with my problems roughly a year back, now i'm great.
It's the pain, the pain of losing family, Bardin just prefer hides it deep inside him, and the voice did bring it up when you play in the castle, stating the loss of family members were his fault.
The solemn, understanding notes of how Bardin says "Not everything's forever." speaks of more pain and loss than most actors could portray. The casting choices and writing for this game never ceases to amaze me.
The average lifespan of a dwarf is in the hundreds if not thousands of years. To hear a master dwarf as wordly as Bardin say "Not everything's forever" should let you know that not even a hundred human lifetimes could come close to his in matters of loyalty.
The dwarves of warhammer are the saddest Ive seen, their culture revolves around loss, grudge, and sorrow. The Slayer's cult is techincally a suicide pact for dwarves going through unimaginable depression, but instead of taking their lives, they want Battle to take it for them.
@@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777 I would love to know more about Bardin & The Slayer's cult lore, are there any videos on it or did you read it on a fanfiction? Appreciate it! :D
@@SOUNDWAVE98 Not a video or a fanfiction, but Gotrek and Felix is a novel series about a slayer (and his companion). Not Bardin, though. But I don't think Bardin even has any. Excluding his songbook. I haven't personally read it, so I don't know how much lore they give pertaining to the cult. But they exist. There's also the Warhammer Fantasy wiki, if you just want the lore and nothing else.
Khazalid, the Dwarf language, places a special emphasis on concrete-ness and eternity, even going so far as to use words like "stone" instead of "eternal" (i.e. "Karaz-a-Karak literally translating to "stony stone place", but more effectively as "Everlasting Hold"). It makes it especially heartbreaking that a Dawi can't bring himself to use such words to describe his own marriage.
If only these interactions happened in the game and not in the waiting… HOGGERS BRIDGE? WAIT A MOMENT, 2 NULN REGIMENTS VANISHED WITHOUT TRACE AT HOGGERS BRIDGE.
"Life is complicated. Nothing is forever." Bardin lost his son to skaven. Perhaps his wife blames him for that... Kerillian would understand, she runs a knife's edge between her friends finding out it was her fault that Ubersreik fell and her friends staying by her side.
Although the Ubersreik 5's bickering is fucking hilarious, i gotta say, moments like these where they show genuine friendship with each other are very heartwarming
Its a miracle Bardin's "final" career (story-wise) isn't Slayer. No way a regular dwarf comes out of something like this without seeking a release through Drengi oath.
Bardin is very unusual for a dwarf. He had to be, a regular dwarf would have probably killed the elf by now for a hundred different grudge-worthy reasons by now. Making him an engineer, who in Dwarf society tend to be the more forward thinking ones, was a good call.
I always felt like Bardin was a one of a kind dwarf. Quite literally, he has no grudges. Well, he definitely has something against the Skavens for slaughtering his family, but here he's fighting because he has no choice in the matter. He's not sticking to his plans of finding Karak Zorn because things change, and nothing's forever, as he says. Give me another dwarf who managed to befriend an elf. An elf from Athel Loren of all places.
@@randomcenturion7264 That was one thing that always bothered me, Why would Malekith toss his friendship into the shredder? I can definitely see Morathi sending in a deathsquad to start the war of Vengeance, but I think it could have been more interesting if the War of the Beard became the inciting incident for the Elven Civil War, with Malekith returning to Ulthuan with his Druchii and Dwarven Allies to take the phoenix Throne, still getting crispy because Asurayan won't have no dawi-lover an the big chair.
Bardin self-exiled himself as a ranger after failing to watch for a skaven attack. There's dialogue from the drachenfels demon that goes more into detail.
In the Drachenfels demon/sorceror's dialogue it mentions that Bardin fucked up while standing watch for a Skaven attack, and as a result a bunch of dwarves were killed, including his son. As a result, Bardin was either exiled or went into self-exile.
As the others mentioned, Bardin went into self-exile after indirectly causing the death of his son and several of his comrades, which is also why his wife left him. That is why one of his careers is that of Slayer, because he came to terms with his "crime" and decides to pay for it the way his people know how to, in glorious death in combat against the most powerful and brutal enemies of the Dwarfs.
So, what? He's... separated? Not divorce, that would make her "Ex-wife". Maybe... its because of their son getting killed, and Bardin blames himself for it.
@@terron7840 Wait... ratio of dwarven women to men is what in Warhammer? Oh shoot. Just looked it up. "Every 10 births, 1 to 2 women of them are born."
Yeah, something to do with an ambush by Clan Eshin assassins. Bardin was on sentry duty, along with a handful of other dwarfs. He was surprised like all the others, except that he survived the knives to his kidneys. He blames himself not only for not noticing the Skaven creeping up on him, but for not dragging his badly wounded body off the ground and shouting an alarm to wake the others.
would be kinda interesting to have her somewhat become a part of the game as a person in the hold or i dunno anything to late to be a new character ofc but i guess its only going to be a backstory detail
Best voice acting and character development in any coop game ever. It's not even close. It shits all over L4D and titles like it. Gameplay is better too lol. It's too bad that the fat shark executives don't like working for money and they ruined their own game. Shame
The game is fine and they learned from "winds of magic". Chaos wastes and the character building that came with drachenfels and the new careers is awesome.
@@TigerTabCat1 they are still working on vermintide 2, while working on darktide... My guess is that they will keep expanding on vermintide 2 and darktide and start working on the next vermintid once darktide is released and working. Vermintide was and still is a goldmine. I hardly believe will scrap it. Especially when they are still bringing out content.
Well since ever Dawi has had females, most of them prefer to be like trophy wives, only for the most honorable and rich dwarf they can get, that part is backfiring greatly since is really common that they are hitting on dawi that are way out of their league and they age single. Fun fact if you check the history of Belegar Ironhammer you will find a note that also wives most be fat since the tradition says that his family most give his weight on gold ajajaja
It's funny how Kerillian becomes more open to the team and Bardin becomes more grumpier and unhappy.

Seeing Bardin and Kerillian bonding for once is both awkward and touching.
This interaction is a fine addition to the game and the story.

I want to see a vermintide tv show with all of these characters. I love the dialog in this game, its not much but leave me hungry for more

y'know if a soothsayer had predicted all of this i'd have laughed in his face.

I love this cuz kerillian acts like she doesn’t care but she does. And bardin is just an awesome dude
Man I love the lore building that happens in this game.
"Life is complicated. Nothing is forever." Bardin lost his son to skaven. Perhaps his wife blames him for that...
Kerillian would understand, she runs a knife's edge between her friends finding out it was her fault that Ubersreik fell and her friends staying by her side.
She took the axes in the divorse
Honestly this sorta small talk really give the cast alot of character. And makes you feel for them in their struggle for survival
Although the Ubersreik 5's bickering is fucking hilarious, i gotta say, moments like these where they show genuine friendship with each other are very heartwarming
This and the time Bardin n Kerillian sing together.

The "Aye, true enough"
The elf sympathizes with the dwarf from true loss, not loss in general but one that really matters
That actually kinda hit right at home lol,
"But she doesn't care for you any longer?"
"Life's complicated. Not everything's forever"
Oof

@@matiasmattera6650 Slayer Bardin is my personal canon tbh. Slayers are pretty much extremely depressed dwarves who have nothing to lose.
So, what? He's... separated? Not divorce, that would make her "Ex-wife".
Maybe... its because of their son getting killed, and Bardin blames himself for it.
I'd hazard a guess that Grelda blames him for it too.
@@EvilTwinn Right. Warhammer Dwarves value relationships to the core. Thanks to this, they rise and fall as family.

Remember that Warhammer is based on ye olde medieval times, when divorce isn't generally a thing.
Why do dwarves never seem to be able to keep the woman they love?! I'm getting serious ohgren and Varric flashbacks here.
True OG's those two.
Bardin best boy
It is so beautiful to just see these characters open up to eachother.
Lol, when i played vermintide 2 characters only harassed each other and didn't say each other even quarter of that warm phrase
Stop playing wutelgi
@@perteks7639 but this scene is with the elf and the dwarf... your reasoning does not make sense.
There is SO much dialogue from this game I have still never heard in game once
*sad dwarven noises*
I wonder if this is because of their son that the ghost mentions in castle Drachen
Kerillian doesn't mock him for his wife leaving him.
Most likely having to do something with the death of their son
Feelsbadman.jpg
Bardin's been married? Sometimes I forget that these characters have backstories and have lived lives outside of the game's story.
Aye he has a daughter too, apparently she's quite the engineer.
And the reason he left the dwarven kingdom is that he wasn't fast enough and a skaven ambush killed several dwarves, including his son
Yeah, something to do with an ambush by Clan Eshin assassins. Bardin was on sentry duty, along with a handful of other dwarfs. He was surprised like all the others, except that he survived the knives to his kidneys.

Damn, was trying to cheer myself up, not remember the sads
Grelda took the kid(s).
*Skaven took the boy*
_Nurgle took them all_
not everything is forever, truly mother said that; it do hurt me
its quite the high honor for a dwarf to say you'd like his wife to an elgi of all people
Kerillian is awfully empathetic here... what the hell is going on
would be kinda interesting to have her somewhat become a part of the game as a person in the hold or i dunno anything to late to be a new character ofc but i guess its only going to be a backstory detail
Hey why have I never heard this line before? I've played for thousands of hours!
new content :>
This hits harder when you remember his other family members.
