That's part of the "charm" of the inquisition. They all operate in different ways. It's Imperial Roulette. Do you have a zealot who will set most of your city to the flame?

Maybe they show up and they're just one dude who sets out to fight the evil himself. Loose cannons, all of them.

Inquisitor Grendyl is not the holographic plasma projector. They are elsewhere and are anonymous. The faces and voices shift to transmit the message but conceal Grendyl's true face and voice. Grendyl could be in the room posing as a lowly servant or warband member, watching and judging their subordinates for corruption and heresy. The shifting faces and voices might have been that of previous Inquisitors.
Fun little fact, the male voice servitor is voiced by Tim Bentinck, who voiced Saltzpyre and the female voice is by Bethan Dixon Bate who voiced Sienna
Cool! Do you know if they lend to any of the other voices? I always feel like I hear some of the Vermintide actors during the Darktide voice quips in game.
@@deepsleep8077 I did some digging, Dan voiced the Armoury Exchange Servitor, David Rintoul voices Sire Melk the Requisition guy, and Alix apparently voices a traitor captain
The scale of this setting is so immense that this isn't some world ending catastrophe, this is just normal shit going on deep under the city, and you are the military equivalent of a janitor lol.
I still don't understand how there is a powerful chaos cult rising up in a vital sector capital city, and the only one who gives any shit about it is a single inquisitor. Inquisitors shouldn't fight entire wars on their own but investigate into suspicions and then call Guard or Astartes or Ecclesiarchy or Grey Knights or whatever to deal with the cleanup.
@@pallandoromestamo8861 Nah, this is pretty par for the course. Lotta worlds, not a whole lotta Inquisitors. The Grey Knights only get called in when shit is REALLY hitting the fan, so it should say something about how bad things can get when we're still in the "throw randos at the problem and see if they solve it" stage.
@@p_serdiuk Yeah but Chaos Gate had a daemonic outbreak in that entire system with possible catastrophic repercussions on the Imperium as a whole Also Mortarion wanted to kill Kaldor Draigo, this isn't matters for the Astra Militarum of for Penal Regiments, but for the Ordo Maleus and the Grey Knights
I found it interesting. It was both an introduction to the inquisitor and an indoctrination session. It turned the inquisitor's mission into their mission.
Not so far as "I am a warrior", but yeah, I had indoc sessions like this in infantry training lol Being given information, while reinforcing it is your duty to carry it out because you're a infantryman now.
@@FlamenYong But understandable, given how the Imperium was founded right after the forces of Hell itself besieged Terra and mankind successfully fought them off.
I still expect pure jank, which gets in the way of the story being told and the world being presented. After all how could you NOT notice the jank in 40k games
Better than anything else I have ever seen or read, Darktide has really captured the brutality and inhumanity of the grimdark Imperium. It's almost too depressing in a way at least for me, I've always preferred Warhammer Fantasy because at least there are some rays of hope in that setting, not so much with 40k. I play Vermintide and see pleasant farms and innocent villages torn apart and want to avenge them and protect any others from being destroyed, I play Darktide and I'm like, this Hive City was fucking awful before this war ever started lol
The servitor wears the faces of the penitent. It is a litany unto themselves, they are Grendyl, instruments of the Inquisition, the light of the Throne. They are warriors.
I really wish it is, but there's a good chance it will be a hard past for me (have a huge problem in game with dark claustophobic setting, it makes me sick while playing)
@@e21big Eh I wouldn't call it claustrophobic. I'm sure you've seen gameplay at least so you know you better than me, but if you haven't check it out. The maps are fairly open and there's even an outdoor level.
I think it's nice how this inquisitor in no uncertain terms makes clear they're all to him as expendable as bullets in a magazine yet still gets them to hype up as a team to face the heretics as a leader
This Grendel kind of reminds me of a short story called "I AM" it's where a psker servitor turns self-aware and becomes powerful psychic robotic intelligence and rules a sector in the Imperium controlling and manipulating everything in the shadows, destroying all traces of chaos and xenos in order to find his Homeworld. Pretty good I highly recommended.
I read that one. Did he manipulate his perception of time to account for the fact that interstellar communication takes a long time in the setting, or was this just omitted in the story, since he's got an interstellar botnet running? Even if the transmission of a message is instantaneous (or negative time) through the Warp, encrypting it and then deciphering it can take days. It's not like you're sending discrete packets of data over radio. Communicating through the Warp is like playing Telephone when on shrooms and the original message was scrambled for security, and the other end of the chain of astropaths has to unscramble the message into a comprehensible form.
@Tounushi I am not really sure my theory is that he was able to manifest something in the warp to link himself with other servitors on other planets in the sector without the need of contact. In the story, he was able to consume other servitors to his psyche. This may have created a small realm in the warp that lured pained and tortured souls together, creating what he truly wanted to see and remember was the sea of his Homeworld. I think this because with the new ark of omens out, Lion el johnson has the ability to traverse the warp with the help of a pocket realm that looks exactly like the forest that he grew up in caliban his origin planet.
Kind of like that holy tritity sort of deal; you are the inquisitor and the inquisitor is you, but nobody else is, even though your comrades think the same thing.
Ah yes my favorite part about Warhammer. Genderless inquisitors. From the creators of peaceful Drukhari or LGBT friendly orks. Gtfo with this garbage, wokey.
As valid as the 20 faces. Skulls are a great symbol for humanity. Not all of us have limbs or even hearts, but (probably) everyone has a skull. It should be the new UN flag.
After reading the Eisenhorn and Ravenor books, you can tell that Inquisitor Grendyl is about as hardline as they come, and that he perfers to solve problems by sending very deadly and disposable special forces at the problem. more Iron than Eisenhorn but more finesse than the guard or navy. He also probably stays under cover alot since he's piloting a frigate, which is on the smaller and faster end when it comes to Voidships.
Just so you know, the first time I saw this scene, my adrenaline level in my blood rose so much that I was ready to go and take the lasgun in my hands to fight for the atom.
Damn, I'm liking the grimdark vibes this is giving, I haven't played the game yet but I've seen a few of the trailers and holy emperor, I think I need to buy this!
I like how the servitor said that the hive must remain Resolute to stand against chaos is the duty against corruption. To use Whatever tools whatever their purpose to fight this corruption. Sounds good
Notice how, compared to Destiny when it first came out, this and the opening cutscene, introduces you to the world of which you are about to enter. It simultaneously tells you what faction you are in, what you are fighting, and why you are fight it.

@@koolaidblack7697 I don't get how its dumb its meant to subdue brainwash and get them hyped to redeem themselves for the sins of their past. these are not proud soldiers or those whom serve the imperium blindly, they're convicts convicts who have sinned and are seen as having taken something away from the imperium could of been they spoke out of line about the imperial truth could of been they ran away in the face of the great enemy whatever the case, the only redemption they have now is to serve as cannon fodder on a suicide mission that they are most likely not going to come back from. they are not valued nor given respect, they will die faceless and unremembered by the very inquisition sending them on this mission their names ill not be etched into any halls of glory or remembrance, if they survive all of this they may well still be executed or mindwiped from having cross across the horrors of the threat of chaos with its daemons of Nurgles and the horrors of which they have seen. but right now they are warriors in the God Emperors service here the only redemption of which they can seek for their past crimes is death in his honor and helping make his imperium.. a better safer place by culling the threat of chaos. or dying inv ain agains thte threat for only in death does duty end and only in death will these convicted of crimes against the Imperium be atoned.
@@koolaidblack7697 I agree it felt out of place and stupid, you don't even see the ones shouting it out when the servitor was speaking (it just came out of nowhere), and then it ended with the most robotic chant and movement. The phrase could've worked but the delivery of the phrase was so unsatisfying like goddamn if you're gonna cheer at least say it like you mean it.
Thanks, Dude this scene crashed out on me 😢. This would have been the icing on the cake before my first foray into the depth of darkness madness & steel. The Emperor protects.
For some reason my game kept crashing on this cinematic, so I had to skip it in order to progress. Thanks for uploading! I must say it's kinda creepy that YT recommended this video to me, out of nowhere, when I was actually thinking in searching for this cinematic later..
Some people may find the "I am a warrior" bit cringe, but personally this intro had me fucking hyped when I jumped in. Put me in the perfect mindset of a prisoner turned soldier, and fits the setting with simple devotion, propaganda and purpose for the kinds of people that would be in this role. And that scene with the ship above the planet gave me goosebumps. Even though you know that ship is pretty huge, it gave the impression of our tiny vessel of warriors being the David against the mighty Goliath that is Nurgle's power.
I was so hype watching this cutscene to realize the rest of the story doesn't really go anywhere. Overall, Darktide is still a great adaptation of 40k's setting.
There had to be plants in the crowd to start the chant, or my Ogryn would have definitely answered, "You are Grendyl."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA damn that was so funny bro.I busted me gut !!
We did see armed guards lining the walls, I always assumed they started the chant
Would be a funny bit
Audibly laughed
Best part would be the Inquisitors wanting to laugh at that, but know they can't
Gotta love how this is simultaneously a mission briefing, a religious sermon and an indoctrination session all in one
I AM A WARR... I mean yeah, cool right...
Emperium of man moment
Sometimes the Imperium can be extraordinarily efficient
It is the Inquistion we're talking about, it's their schtick.
Reminds me of my orientation when I worked at Baskin Robbins, “Who am I” “I am COOKIEPUSS”
I love that some Inquisitors run their crew like this, meanwhile you have guys like Eisenhorn, who's like "morning guys, ready to go?" *sips recaf*
That's part of the "charm" of the inquisition. They all operate in different ways. It's Imperial Roulette.
Do you have a zealot who will set most of your city to the flame? One who will loose penitent criminals in hordes upon the heretics? Someone who casually hangs out with the upper crust and "asks" for favors? Maybe they show up and they're just one dude who sets out to fight the evil himself.
Loose cannons, all of them.
Amberley Vail and Czevak is pretty laid back as far as Inquisitors go as well.

@@koolaidblack7697 I don't get how its dumb its meant to subdue brainwash and get them hyped to redeem themselves for the sins of their past. these are not proud soldiers or those whom serve the imperium blindly, they're convicts convicts who have sinned and are seen as having taken something away from the imperium could of been they spoke out of line about the imperial truth could of been they ran away in the face of the great enemy whatever the case, the only redemption they have now is to serve as cannon fodder on a suicide mission that they are most likely not going to come back from. they are not valued nor given respect, they will die faceless and unremembered by the very inquisition sending them on this mission their names ill not be etched into any halls of glory or remembrance, if they survive all of this they may well still be executed or mindwiped from having cross across the horrors of the threat of chaos with its daemons of Nurgles and the horrors of which they have seen. but right now they are warriors in the God Emperors service here the only redemption of which they can seek for their past crimes is death in his honor and helping make his imperium.. a better safer place by culling the threat of chaos. or dying inv ain agains thte threat for only in death does duty end and only in death will these convicted of crimes against the Imperium be atoned.
@@koolaidblack7697 I agree it felt out of place and stupid, you don't even see the ones shouting it out when the servitor was speaking (it just came out of nowhere), and then it ended with the most robotic chant and movement. The phrase could've worked but the delivery of the phrase was so unsatisfying like goddamn if you're gonna cheer at least say it like you mean it.
This scene was very well done. Sent shivers up my spine and molten steel coursing through my veins..............who am I ????
I am a warrior!
I AM A WARRIOR!!
“Um, I thought his name was Grendel?” That one Ogryn who payed attention in grammar class
2:15 no f**way Zola smiling !!
If you’re being sent into certain damnation, being as expendable as the rounds you fire, you may as well feel empowered.
That was a pretty good introduction i say 😎👍
i still get goose bumps from the last part
Thanks,
Dude this scene crashed out on me 😢.
This would have been the icing on the cake before my first foray into the depth of darkness madness & steel.
The Emperor protects.
I love how they use corpses for fucking EVERYTHING
@UncleMcFunkle your instructional video, your shop keep, your healer, your foood. Hmmmmmmm snack
I didn't think you could make a freaking Ogryn look like Nick Offerman, but you pulled it off very well. Even has that slight wry smirk.
My game kicked me out mid cutscene on this one so now I can actually watch it lmao
Fantastic work!
The Emperor Protects
Absolutely amazing.
1:07 This is the first time I've seen a normal imperial civilian up-close in 40k
and at 1:28 you get a closeup of a former imperial civilian
I AM A WARRIOR !!
This cutscene had me jumping out of my seat in hype. Great job fatshark
For some reason my game kept crashing on this cinematic, so I had to skip it in order to progress. Thanks for uploading!
I must say it's kinda creepy that YT recommended this video to me, out of nowhere, when I was actually thinking in searching for this cinematic later..
Machine spirit of your cogitator provided you with what you need. Praise be Omnisaha.
The masculine urge to Burn the Heretic, kill the mutant, purge the unclean
In the name of the emperor
Some people may find the "I am a warrior" bit cringe, but personally this intro had me fucking hyped when I jumped in. Put me in the perfect mindset of a prisoner turned soldier, and fits the setting with simple devotion, propaganda and purpose for the kinds of people that would be in this role.
And that scene with the ship above the planet gave me goosebumps. Even though you know that ship is pretty huge, it gave the impression of our tiny vessel of warriors being the David against the mighty Goliath that is Nurgle's power.
I ain't really the line, it's just how awkward Zola makes it. It ruins the hype of the scene for me. Just cut it after Grendyl, done.
@@TurbanCatMccoy Opposite for me, when Zola reinforces it after everyone is already primed to kill it makes it even more badass for me.
Everyone gangsta until someone responds "I am Alpharius"
The most 40k thing possible is that everyone agrees that they are a warrior
The audio is so so good and well designed. The whole ambience reminds me of Test Dept's 'The Unacceptable Face of Freedom' album
What is your duty? TO SERVE THE EMPERORS WILL!!! what is the emperors will? THAT WE FIGHT AND DIE!! What is death? IT IS OUR DUTY!!!
Thanks for uploading, didn't get to see this as the game kept crashing here without the chance to rewatch (rerolled 3 times too)!
Beautiful as the day it was released
Gave me chills.
Zola: WHO AM I?!
Chills till the end every time
This game has made me obsessed with 40k lore.
I alt tabbed during this cutscene and skipped it accidentally. Thanks for posting!!
God i love these 40k cinematicd
I'm slowly brainwashing myself by listening this again and again
OST - 'The Uprising on Hive Tertium'
Huh, I just noticed at 2:09 the final face shown to the operatives is a skull.
I was so hype watching this cutscene to realize the rest of the story doesn't really go anywhere. Overall, Darktide is still a great adaptation of 40k's setting.
Hopefully you stuck around the story is slowly progressing and it's become a better game to play since the last major update
2:06 is goosebumps inducing for me
That was hype as hell!
Inquisitor with dementia. "Who am I?" 0:45
Bloody hell, Mario's really let himself go. I didn't even know he was in the Inquisition.
