[WarbringerVI]

Yes

[peremptor]

At least there are no ratmaids.

Unfortunately yes, only rats. Its especially odd, as Warhammer is known for having many different races and factions. Its actually the only Warhammer videogame (and one of the very very few fantasy games) to have only one enemy race.

Its one of this game's biggest drawbacks. A lot of my friends who played previous Warhammer games are not interested in this one because they just laugh that rats are the only enemy. I feel like when Fatshark designed Vermintide, they didn't really understand that having just one enemy race in a fantasy game is going to disappoint people.

Was waiting Baron to cry over this thread and it seems I didn't have to wait for long. Heh.

Maybe because people act like total ret*rds of a game having one race.

I am looking at the games you play Vanguard, and its pretty clear you are not a fantasy game person so you do not understand that this is a very common thing in fantasy games.

Well the ending narration foreshadows sequels consisting of chaos warriors of the north and the living dead. It's no guarantee though.

I have demands myself but not being a "fantasy" player don't forces me to b*tch about them none stop.

It's first person horde slayer game without little bit of RPG elements. Yet you don't see me to change the game into a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ full RPG with dumb ideas.

You clearly assume things you don't know about.

Vermin - tide, it's not clear enough? Shame that in L4D are only zombies. LMAO.

Seriously now - Warhammer, as a world was build over 30 years of development for tabletop and RPG games. There is a lot of background information about Skavens and eveything else. Please check websites like lexicanum to learn more about setting.
Lore-wise Skavens usually don't ally with other factions in Warhammer and it's perfectly correct that we have only skavens in game.

I could start bickering in different direction - Assasin's rat weapon, made from warpstone should insta-kill anybody, Loot-rat should be removed, two skavens are required to operate ratling gun. Packmaster should do different thing - lore-wise packmasters guide rat ogres and great rats to combat and act as their trainers.

Lexicanum doesn't have anything about Fantasy on the website and i should know cause i went looking. The only information that's on Lexicanum are 40K stuff goes to show what setting is more popular.

Then you are not looking good enough. http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page

I think they are underselling the Skaven. There are so many inventions and units that went unused.
However, I am not unhappy that they are the only type of enemy.

Seriously, what can you expect in a central, well fortified city of the empire.
The Chaos Warriors are extremely far away in the north east.
Most Orcs and Beastmen are busy in the South East and have to get through the Border Princes first. Bretonnia and Estalia are to the West.
They even have a Karak nearby, which passively grants them further protection.
Even the Vampire Counts, who are probably the closest enemy, have to prance through the entirety of the Empire to get to Ubersreik.

The original Warcraft was called "Warcraft: Orcs vs. Humans". If you're not familiar, they had other races besides orcs and humans. Just because it's called "Vermintide" doesn't mean they can't add enemy races in an expansion. However, Fatshark seems disinclined to do this, regardless of the ending to White Rat suggesting otherwise.

ITT: People who don't understand this is a left for dead clone. The argument is as stupid as saying "I can't believe left for dead only had 1 -Race- of enemies, zombies"
Not to mention the warhammer universe is crappy anyway so who cares.

Nice bait, I hope you can find a better "universe".
