darkhorse0607 Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 More excited for the soundtrack than the actual game. The first ones was top tier Marshal Rohr, Noserenda, Maschinenpriester and 6 others 9 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382987-warhammer-40000-mechanicus-ii/#findComment-6042424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 Well this is a surprise. While the soundtrack may be more renowned than the game, it doesn't mean I didn't very much enjoy the game also. Will doubtlessly get and play this. grailkeeper 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382987-warhammer-40000-mechanicus-ii/#findComment-6042429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanicus Tech-Support Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 Sunk so many hours into the previous game, pretty stoked for this!

vadersson Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 Really excited to see what they do with the new game. Love to play Necrons. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382987-warhammer-40000-mechanicus-ii/#findComment-6042441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maschinenpriester Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 Very exited about this. I still love to play the old game on the Nintendo switch during long travel (planes for example).

SkimaskMohawk Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 I'm so ready. The first game was very fun, the theme was dialed in, and the sound track crushed it.

sitnam Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 I loved the first game, and a Necron campaign sounds perfect as a sequel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382987-warhammer-40000-mechanicus-ii/#findComment-6042495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 This is fantastic news. The way the trailer riffs on the first game's trailer is very smart, especially as "from the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me" has reached meme status in some parts. It also looks like the budget may be greater than the first game, which is great. I'm listening to the Mechanicus soundtrack right now because I really enjoy tracks like "Children of the Omnissiah" and "Noosphere" that much. Being able to play as the Necron faction may make it easier for me to cajole some friends into playing it this time around. too. I hope that although the budget will undoubtedly bring more detailed character models if the trailer is anything to go by, I hope that the Mechanicus Adepts retain their strange, garbled voices except when speaking to non-Mechanicus characters because their odd, alien speech made the game all the more atmospheric. When the first person to speak in a recognisable language isn't a human, but a Necron character it gives some idea just how far removed the Adeptus Mechanicus is from the baseline human. Overall I have been picking at tiny details that I loved about the first game. If it's just more of the same but more polished I'd be delighted, but the teaser hints the visuals, sound are getting an upgrade and the Necron campaign is just icing on the cake... I just hope that the game doesn't get a mandate from GW to ruin the entire faction so that every mission requires you to field 10,000 units, all of which are useless just because GW seem to want to run Admech into the ground inside and outside of the tabletop. vadersson 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382987-warhammer-40000-mechanicus-ii/#findComment-6042511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirix Posted May 24, 2024 Share Posted May 24, 2024 Do we know if the same soundtrack guy is coming back for this one? I really enjoyed the first game, but the music was a huge draw for me in particular.

TheVoidDragon Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 New trailer looks awesome, first game was great. This looks even better! Really didn't expect the Leagues of Votann though, that was a big surprise.

Magos Takatus Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 To me the game looks good and sounds even better! I was also blindsided by the Leagues showing up, and also surprised to see characters from the first game as in-game units. Who thought Scaevola would be showing up to crack heads?

Minsc Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) As someone nordic, I would say it sounds like non-nordic people trying to make a nordic accent. I'm so used to the "scottish" accent for dwarfs in most forms of media these days, that now when I think about it, the scottish accent doesn't really make much sense. I have no idea where the idea of scottish dwarves originated from, but from a folklore-perspective, dwarfs originate primarily from norse (and as such, to some extent germanic) mythology and not celtic mythology, so them having nordic accents makes ... more sense? About as much sense has T'au having japanese accents and Orcs sounding like brittish football hooligans anyway. :P (Also, this isn't really a complaint, I personally love the scottish accent.)

mecanojavi99 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 About the Votann, they are not a playable faction like the Necrons, but purely NPC faction, my understanding is that you can either choose to befriend them or antagonise them, unknown for now what each choice does.

I think the 'Scottish' dwarfs come from largely US folks and other readers not recognising Yorkshire and other Northern English accents. Seeing 'aye', a fondness for booze, enmity towards some folk with fine RP accents and a certain tightfistedness and assuming Scottish, whilst ignoring the mining heritage, similar enmity towards those soft southern Jessies and that the drink of choice is a real ale rather than a whisky (not to mention an appreciation for how things used to be compared to now, though the jokes about that were better in my day). Northern English also has far more elements of Old Norse than Gaelic does in it's slang, which would be your nod towards the old myths. But then vaguely Scandi Votan sort of works in 40K, along the same lines. You can clearly understand them but it's also a little bit familiar and recognisably foreign at the same time. Usually encountered around resource extraction...

Brian Blessed's Gotrik (he did an amazing job btw) doesn't sound scottish, but some of the dwarven units do sound *very* scottish.
