>interactions with drifter
oh damn I didn't know drifter had those.
Shiv's got way less voicelines than some of the newer heroes, the VA voices Shiv and Pocket (very funny considering how different they are but if you look at DOTA Valve consistently gets very different performances out of the same VA, DOTA is one of the only places you'll hear Nolan North do a different voice) though so I hope that indicates a level of commitment that they'll get him back in to do more lines.

I think with Shiv we literally can't know what's up with him until Valve decide to go in a certain direction, it's clear there might be something going on but I think as one of the Neon Prime re-tools they're not 100% on what they want with him (and see Shiv Mole Man placeholder model...). Shiv seems like a 'watch this space' hero in this way to me, though I think his kit won't get retooled much.
Fun note Shiv's little vial is a reference to Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. I had a funny coincidence when I watched that movie and then got into Deadlock shortly thereafter, or it was the other way round. Did a double take when I saw the vial.

Unrelated but after the map update I keep discovering nooks in the map I've never seen before (hardly use the jump pads). This is a nice little room.
