I had my worries based on Saber's public commitment to ESG. After playing through the leak, I'm afraid to report that my fears weren't at all unfounded...
To address the elephant in the room, there are no female space marines physically present anywhere in the game. However, there is ample discussion of them, and it seems like GW is using the game's narrative to open the door to the possibility of women Astartes in the future.
Those of you who finished SM1 know about Inquisitor Drogan's Power Source, which is once again the focus of the plot. Spoiling as little of the sequel as possible, the Ultramarines covet the device for its potential to "open the hidden second gateway of Astartes ascension." Chaos wants the Power Source for the same reason, as whoever controls it also doubles their pool of potential space marine recruits (need I explain further?).

Aside from the above you have your bog standard elements of wokeness found in any game released in the past 5 years. Some highlights are:
• Racial demographics of helmetless Ultramarines match those of San Francisco in 2024.
• All the IG officers and commissars you meet are female.
• On the hive world, you can find a couple dataslate entries (same as servo-skulls from the first game) about two gay lovers who were separated during the Tyranid invasion.
• On the jungle planet, Titus and co. discuss how the AdMech's exploitation of natural resources has devastated the local ecosystem, which somehow kickstarted the initial Tyranid invasion.
• In the central hub, you can find two battle brothers embracing each other while crying. Titus reacts to this with some bs like "showing weakness is the greatest strength."
• A rando guardsman calls the Imperium "fascist" and "regressive" when explaining why Imperial citizens fall to Chaos in front of Titus and 2 other marines. They let him keep his life and later remark on the truthfulness of his words.
Hopefully y'all can make more informed decisions given this info.

Is this true for others who played the leak?

I will buy this because it looks cool and im interested in the multiplayer. I will not buy any future game that includes actual female space marines (not sororitas) or other gay shit. Seems pretty simple.
>>
>>683802654
there is like one recurring IG officer thats a foid and thats it, all guardsmen you come across are varied, at one point there's a firing squad with a commissar giving a speech, shooting some foid guardsmen in the face

No come on, GW would never allow that.
>>
>>683806301
the imperium is perpetually spread thin with Astartes having to mix and mash different patterns of power armor together just to get by. Out of nowhere comes Cawl who somehow not only improved on the Emperor's work which isnt supposed to be possible, but also just has a more advanced arsenal to equip several legions laying around.
Then he introduces the Primaris marines even into the most secretive and borderline heretical chapters in the imperium who accept this unconditionally.
Space Marines themselves are supposed to be the genetic peak humanity can reach and still be human without being hand made by the emperor. There already were more combat effective space marines, they were called Thunder Warriors and they were made with a half life and even then eventually had to be purged because getting that detached from humanity made them unstable and more of a liability than a boon in the long run.
Primaris Marines should suffer a similar problem but they dont, theyre just a way for GW to sell space marines, again

you can, and they already had those, they were called Terminators. But also you had specialists like imperial assassins and grey knights. There was no niche for these guys to fill.
And somehow the imperium can support the existing militaries AND this more complex weaponry and armor now too? The outer reaches of the imperium cant even produce lasguns sufficiently to arm its armies

>On the jungle planet, Titus and co. discuss how the AdMech's exploitation of natural resources has devastated the local ecosystem, which somehow kickstarted the initial Tyranid invasion.

This makes sense. Ultramarines know that Ultramar has planets dedicated to gardening, farming and clean nature. AdMechs desire to turn everything into industrial landscape is not something Ultramarines would aspire to do.

Did you know that it’s really easy to manipulate people if you tell them exactly what they want to hear? You can make up the most outlandish lies possible and present absolutely no evidence, but if someone is the type to feel like they’re making a difference while doing absolutely nothing, you can persuade them of anything just by telling them the right lie.

You can even tell them to their face that gameplay, the main point of a fucking video game, is irrelevant and some people will STILL slurp up whatever your discord has cooked up.
It’s quite fascinating.

I know about Custodes, fag, everyone does
But they're supposed to be hyper special unique ones created personally by the emperor and whose method of creation and replenishment is handwaved
They're not an active force to die and be used like the space marines
Or at least they weren't, I heard things changed in 9th edition >>683806913

Terminators are grizzled veterans who survived a lot, it's natural progression from a standing fighting force, Primaris are just special-er

It only wasn't supposed to be possible because of the whole "don't create new or improve technology" dogma which Cawl and Girlyman don't follow but yeah I have no idea where Cawl got the material to outfit countless chapters with new hardware

How do female soldiers make sense? They can either provide one body (their own) or 10 over their lifetime.
The whole idea of overpopulated hive cities only makes sense if there is a very strong social expectation placed on women to have lots of kids.
The empire being egalitarian is retarded, that should be a Tau oder eldar thing.

If the population is large enough, then you shouldn't have women in the guard because you have essentially infinite males to choose from. If you don't have enough men, then the women should be strongly encouraged to have babies before anything else, since that gets you more soldiers. You wouldn't have female soldiers in that case either.
The only exception (apart from just random oddballs) would be the old or infertile, but those would likely be better off doing labour planetside.

The only thing I remember talking about something similar is the effect of the tyranids on the planet.
>In the central hub, you can find two battle brothers embracing each other while crying. Titus reacts to this with some bs like "showing weakness is the greatest strength."
In 15 hours I haven't seen anything like that, the most I've seen is a primaris thanking a server for going to clean his armor (but it's normal for them since primaris are faggots)
>A rando guardsman calls the Imperium "fascist" and "regressive" when explaining why Imperial citizens fall to Chaos in front of Titus and 2 other marines. They let him keep his life and later remark on the truthfulness of his words.

haven't played the leak, but I believe it. the average WH40K book is way worse than this now. every other character is gay, even the necrons are trans, and when they're not busy being pozzed as fuck they're busy talking shit about the imperium, like you have grey knights saying that they think humanity is is a pathetic doomed species, lion comes back just to spend all his time apologizing for how he used to act, it's all so fucking gay, man. so when you tell me that this game has space marines crying like little children, heck you could tell me they got their asses kicked by random women (which also happened to chaos space marines in the fabius books), my default is to believe you because that conforms perfectly to contemporary WH40K fluff

I beat the leak 3 times, once on the hardest mode

>Spoiling as little of the sequel as possible, the Ultramarines covet the device for its potential to "open the hidden second gateway of Astartes ascension." Chaos wants the Power Source for the same reason, as whoever controls it also doubles their pool of potential space marine recruits (need I explain further?).
You made that up. The Adeptus Mechanicus is studying the Aurora device to try and use it to close the Great Rift. Throughout the game you are basically trying to prevent Chaos from seizing it and the Tyranids from killing its researchers / data. Chaos wants it because it can also open new rifts

>Aside from the above you have your bog standard elements of wokeness found in any game released in the past 5 years. Some highlights are:
>• Racial demographics of helmetless Ultramarines...
They are a bit too multiracial I'll give you that

>• All the IG officers and commissars you meet are female.
All the commissars are male. You meet multiple male IG captains throughout the game.

>• On the hive world, you can find a couple dataslate entries (same as servo-skulls from the first game) about two gay lovers who were separated during the Tyranid invasion.
I have found all the dataslates and there are no such entries

>• On the jungle planet, Titus and co. discuss how the AdMech's exploitation of natural resources has devastated the local ecosystem, which somehow kickstarted the initial Tyranid invasion.
No they don't

>• In the central hub, you can find two battle brothers embracing each other while crying. Titus reacts to this with some bs like "showing weakness is the greatest strength."
It's not in the game

>• A rando guardsman calls the Imperium "fascist" and "regressive" when explaining why Imperial citizens fall to Chaos in front of Titus and 2 other marines. They let him keep his life and later remark on the truthfulness of his words.

In an attempt to try and get some discussion going about the game, I wanted to ask about the overall length of the campaign. A general point I’ve seen from people (who have posted screencaps) was that the campaign was very short

Is this the case? How long about for a run through? In addition could it be a matter of missions being missing from the dev build or is saber just being full of shit with their 12 hour long campaign length claim?
>>
>>683834782
from what people have said the purely single player campaign availible in the leak was anywhere between 5 to 9 hours or so. The multiplayer co-op side missions might add another 3 or 4 but i dont think anyones been able to get them all working yet

Hate to jump on the hate bandwagon anon, but as others pointed out, your opinion is dumb. GW doesn't care about lore, they care about moving the charts up. Same reason they used to have a tribe in warhammer fantasy that made fun of black people, and why they now feature a lead black character in their new game.

This is already provably false. In the gameplay they have released, we literally see male commissars and (at least what appears to be) male IG officers/leaders. Now granted, it's a sanctioned gameplay demo so that doesn't mean it'll be the final product. But why would they suddenly change assets like that and not use them?

Acheran is the new 2nd company captain after Cunto Shittarius got promoted to Girlyman's (who doesn't appear in the game) top bodyguard/protege while Titus was being held by the Inquisitor.
Calgar shows up later (after Titus summoned him for backup a few missions back) to lead the 2nd Company against the Thousand Sons after they use the Aurora weapon to open a huge warp rift.

Mixed gender regiments will often have kids born to them due to the nature of things. Or kids will somehow find their way onto the IG ships. Or any other myriad way of them getting in close proximity of the IG.
In such cases they're conscripted and used for more minor tasks like message running, frontline restocking, menial labor, mine sweeping, and other such fun and loyal activities.
The Cadian ones are even trained for full combat early on in their pre-teens.

if you don't have a population shortage then you take men, because you have more men than you need

if you do have a population shortage you take men, because you need the women to make more

there is literally no situation in which you take women for military reasons. the ONLY reason to do it is political. which means that the imperium is unironically practicing DEI.

now, if like the tyranids land on the planet and you need literally every single person who can just hold a lasgun and stand on a parapet and fire random bursts into the enemy, then sure it makes sense to use women. strange that you have more lasguns than you have people on your planet, but whatever. but female imperial guard, planetary defence forces, etc., make absolutely no sense in any context whatsoever.

One of my favorite segments in an IG book is in Armor of Contempt (Gaunt's Ghosts) where a fresh 17 year old recruit has his first combat drop and fortress assault. By the time it's over, he's on the very edge of snapping and killing his commissar for drawing a whip on him.

They should've went all in with space elves and made them into coomer bait. That's literally all regular elves got going for them.

Also make dark eldar even more extreme and turn them even more into s/m vampires or something.

they're just not extreme enough imho

Not for most. Salamanders, Night Lords, and Raven Guard are the only ones which actually alter appearances, and even then it's not always guaranteed for the latter two.
Most Chapters look similar due to them often recruiting from the same few world(s). Ultramarines are unique in that they pull from the entirety of Ultramar, and several First Founding chapters likely have larger recruitment pools to pull from due to seniority.

My understanding was that Salamander geneseed interacts weirdly with the radiation of Nocturne to produce the black skin and red eyes. In theory, wouldn't Salamanders recruited from other worlds who had never been to Nocturne retain their original appearance?

Ur fascism is made by a commie faggot psued and all the points can apply to literally any society. Fascism is when a central government has a lot of power over even how more local governments are run and are also run by a central leader. The imperium however allows planets to run themselves pretty much however they like as long as they are not heretical and pay tithes. The head of the government, the high lords of terra, is more of a meeting between the leaders of the most powerful factions in the imperium although I suppose you could argue with guilliman being lord commander there is a central authority figure. There the several groups outside the main fuedal power structures like inqusitors, rougue traders, space marine chapters, and the mechanicus. The closest real life equivalent would be the holy roman empire instead of a fascist country

From memory in the HH novels it's mentioned that Astartes gain some traits of their Primarch, but it's not a 1:1 cloning or anything. They might bear superficial similarities, such as particular noses, eyes, jaws, brows, hair, colouring etc.
Salamanders in particular are not "Black" in the American racial sense - they're literally charcoal-skinned, and due entirely to their geneseed interacting with the radiation from the unique sun above the Salamanders Chapter World of Nocturne. Technically if a Salamander was created on another planet their skin wouldn't change until they'd spent time on Nocturne and were exposed to the same radiation.

I'm just saying that sex-changing DE is entirely consistent with what we know about DE society and culture.

Entirely unlike trannies in the real world who just mutilate their flesh into a simulacrum of the opposite sex.
