replied to your post “I know I literally just said in my previous post that the Van Helsing…”Ooh so there’s a line about this (it’s something about the gunslinger and the countess putting asside there differences for this fight?) That was at least recorded but not used – there’s a bunch of extra junkenstein narration if you haven’t heard it? (I can’t find the thing on my phone I can do it later from laptop if you are interested?)
I’d love to see it! I don’t usually play Junkenstein because it’s just so long, and I get impatient with it, and the wikis don’t have all the lines for it.
It does seem strange to me that there’s dialogue between the Countess and the Gunslinger because they’re in different Junkenstein parties? Soldier/Alchemist/Archer/Gunslinger vs. Viking/Countess/Monk/Swordsman
I found the stuff!
ah, so if you haven’t played it the new mode from last year endless you have the choice of eight characters (the four original and the four new ones) so you can indeed have McCree and Widow on the same team.
The line I was thinking of is actually a narration line from Reinhardt that’s “Long had the gunslinger pursued the countess but their battle would wait for another day” (you can hear it here at around 16:30ish – part 1 of that video is here also, I think its just ‘here are the new voiceline files in this patch’ mostly junkenstein stuff and a few other random things)
The rest of those videos are also quite fun for that reason but it’s like an hour long total, the conversation bits are out of order (cause they are mostly in chunks of one person’s lines – most if not all of them are actually in the game though) and a good chunk of it is eight different characters going ‘the tires on the left’ and such. So a lot of its fairly mundane. But other highlights include Jesse asking if “y’all ever tried smiling?” (which I think I may have heard play in game); The other two interesting widow related lines are “the countess had slain the witch as she had sworn many years before” and “the alchemist had no love for the countess but tonight they had common cause”; Poking fun at high noon (”the gunslinger knew that ‘the time’ was coming”); Reinhardt seems to have lines for basically all the abilities which I’ve never heard in game (I assume the action moves to fast to actually use them) most are fairly straight forward description but the sleepdart one is followed by “…but her ally quickly woke it” which is such a playing Ana mood; anything where Rein goes “if only they had a shield”; similarly “if only the alchemist had a valent knight to boost”; The witch offering the adventurers stuff (offers to McCree to fix his arm, Hanzo to bring back his brother, I think); A line about Hanzo realising who the swordsman is; at least two references to a ‘darker power’ than the witch which might proove to be important idk? etc
Ah, I’ve seen a lot of these lines actually! Just for some reason, a lot of lists leave out the Rein narration. I feel like I’ve heard the lines about the Witch offering the adventurers something played in-game (she tells Hanzo his brother is alive, because he thinks he’s dead but he’s not. She cannot undo what never happened sort of thing.)
I do sort of wonder how many of these are actually in-game, because to me, they don’t properly count unless you can actually trigger them in-game.
But, anyway, it’s nice to hear that I’ve landed on it properly.
Have to listen out for what triggers this time round – I find this mode so hard to actually hear lines in though tbh, there’s a lot going on and quite a lot of other noise. I think I’ve heard some and not others (I’m like 90% I’ve heard at least the smiling line and Rein going “The adventurers lamented their lack of a shield” for example – but its been a while) also probably played less of endless for the stuff specific for that.
but yeah the Countess-Gunslinger connection is definitely something someone at blizz also at least thought of enough to record a voiceline and have in the comic? so interesting if nothing else!
