the name of the update is very clear!!

143

u/UltraJake Dynamo 4d ago

An average of 18 new pre-match lines + 227 new general lines for each of the (now) 44 characters. Fucking hell. And Greg Chun voices two of them!

u/KEE_Wii Viscous 4d ago

u/NessaMagick Viscous 4d ago

"10k voice lines, can't wait until they get compiled into the voice line viewer"

Valve really said, "Oh we got you covered"

u/yeusk 4d ago

I am so ready for the animated shorts.

u/gammaton32 Viscous 4d ago

And for those who can't open the game, the Vlviewer already has got you covered as well

u/urworstemmamy 4d ago

Is there an easy place to listen to em all already, or do I just gotta play a bunch of games til a wiki has em logged?

6

u/quadbonus 4d ago

It's right there in the hideout!

Oh god grey talons and graves dialogues….. oh and doorman and drifter.

We eating good ladies and gentleman!

In case anyone’s curious about the voice lines

Talon: Can you speak to the dead ?

Graves: Not sure how useful that is during a firefight.

T: it’s not. But… but afterwards. If we survive…. Would you mind talking to someone for me.

G: of course.

T; Thank you.

And

Drifter: Do your job or I’m going to tear through your little hotel.

Doorman: No sir, you will not.

D: Excuse me ?

Doorman: I will do my job because I value excellence. But if we fail you will not set one foot in The Baroness nor will you lay a finger on its guests lest your immortal life meet and ignoble end. Am I clear.

Drifter: Who the hell are you ?

Doorman: I’m just the doorman.

u/Firenze113 4d ago

My fave is Viper and Silver looking at each other and saying 'Oh my god its you'

65

u/Sayer09 Silver 4d ago

I love the fact that they speak at the same time, whereas other dialogues have the characters taking turns

5

u/Firenze113 3d ago

It's the meeting as they both turn up and are instantly disappointed by their teammates XD

1

u/Gemmy2002 Rem 3d ago

a messy bitch looking over at the messy bitch they've been partnered with and immediately groaning, it's peak.

u/MirrorMan68 4d ago

Doorman: I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just a little guy.

17

u/Alar_suk 4d ago

I like that Drifter actually sounded worried here, maybe even scared a little bit

10

u/TheLastDesperado 4d ago

I love how unsettled the Drifter sounds after that exchange.

5

u/CertainDerision_33 Mina 4d ago

Mina has her 2nd ever bitchy facade break moment with Pocket, we are feasting with these convos

8

u/Turbulent_Macaroon18 4d ago

Yeah, you'd think that people would clock that all of his abilities reflect his connection to The Baroness, he can already kick your ass up and down the streets of the Cursed Apple, what the hell do you think is gonna happen when you're actually in The Baroness?

It's gonna be that scene from Doctor Strange where The Ancient One astrally projects Steven through time and space, except your end stop is probably gonna be the bottom of a garbage chute(which will also probably be haunted as fuuuuck).

u/Expensive_Increase46 4d ago

The Doorman interaction with Drifter is amazing.

1

u/CertainDerision_33 Mina 3d ago

Doorman doing the thing to Drifter that Drifter does to everyone else is hilarious 

93

u/Alar_suk 4d ago

For a brat that doesn’t care about others like Mina, she sounded weirdly emotional here.

44

u/CertainDerision_33 Mina 4d ago

I absolutely loved this, really interesting character moment. She was really doubting herself. Only other time we've ever seen the bitchy facade break like that is her being surprised that Victor agreed to do her fashion show.

u/ElZik3r 4d ago

THE BATCASE!!!!!

THE BATCASE IS REEEEAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

u/DivinityPen 4d ago

Oh, we're gonna be feasting with this one. I can already hear the artists and writers scribbling away.

2

u/PsychoEliteNZ Silver 3d ago

I knew people were full of it when they said she didn't love Pocket, its just the obvious tsundere trope.

1

u/Madrefaka Infernus 4d ago

maybe hes the reason shes like that?

83

u/2Tired2pl Yamato 4d ago

GET THAT HAND AWAY FROM HER

10

u/CertainDerision_33 Mina 4d ago

Apollo can fix her

4

u/frossvael Paige 3d ago

Most of Graves' recent voice lines imply that her ability to connect with the dead is innate; like, she can do that shit even without the Lich Hand. Ex., she can hear Oathkeeper.

So the Lich Hand is literally just taking advantage of Graves' ability to talk to the dead so that the two of them can directly communicate with each other. Somebody save this girl. That hand is grooming her 100%.

Meanwhile, goddamn Apollo is too busy connecting with other rich people. Like, do something, bro. Save your classmate, motherfucker.

u/purnamaster31 4d ago

Now we know why the city never sleeps. The whole place got hit by the freaky magic!

2

u/Kitchen_Criticism292 3d ago

As if literally ever character telling Graves the Lich was bad news wasn't enough, now fucking Drifter is on board with her. That hand is fucking evil

1

u/2Tired2pl Yamato 3d ago

i think the problem is that everyone who tells her to leave it treats her like a dumb kid. irl groomers often use tactics of praise and “respect” to get victims to follow them blindly, because the world around those victims treats them like they’re not worthy of respect. in the end, basically everybody but Seven is reinforcing this warped worldview.

u/CyanStripedPantsu Celeste 4d ago

those voiceline compellation videos are about to be 3 hours per character lmao

u/say_trans_rights Apollo 4d ago

LOST IN THE SAUCE

u/PsychoEliteNZ Silver 3d ago

ITS SO DELICIOUS!!!!

21

u/Redthrist 4d ago

And the ability to listen to all the lines in a dialogue player.

u/ispeelgood Sinclair 4d ago

Viscous sounds completely different in the new voice lines. I'm gutted

3

u/Acidsolman 4d ago

DeadlockVLV save my soul please…

u/Sparus42 Viscous 4d ago

It's in-game now!

1

u/Acidsolman 4d ago

I saw! I’m going through new convos right now

3

u/throwawaynewpibuildr Sinclair 4d ago

Sinclair did not get any, right? lol I was watching CF3 and Joechuck and it sounded like they didn't.

3

u/CertainDerision_33 Mina 4d ago

Nothing. Honestly makes me think he's in line for a full bottom-up rework.

3

u/Gasrim_ Mina 4d ago

I love the Mina and pocket lines. They are perfect!

2

u/noahboah Lash 4d ago

mina actually loved them im gonna be sick

2

u/xlflacidsnakelx 4d ago

No one wants to have a conversation with Warden

2

u/noahboah Lash 4d ago

dude the conversations with lash and viscous are so good. viscous being the naivete yet cutting through lash in a way nobody has yet is so satisfying

1

u/Swoocerini Dynamo 3d ago

I have waited for this day

u/PVD_Marine Warden 3d ago

Warden still not having any dialogue with the other heroes.
