Owlcat released more info on the Kroot in Dark Heresy, but will be able to fuck her?
>A chance encounter with an acolyte of the Inquisition proved fortuitous, offering Ra'akhti the chance to continue her life despite her exile. It's difficult for a lone xenos to survive on a human world without the patronage of someone powerful. By joining the acolyte's retinue, and gaining the patronage of an agent of the Golden Throne, Ra'akhti gained access to the world beyond the fringes of the hive city. Though the locals regard her with hatred and the logic of the 'soft-skins' remains baffling to her, Ra’akhti has severed the last ties to her once-close kin and now sets out upon a new trail that may lead her to a new purpose… or utter destruction.And does this mean forced recruitment, I wonder? It certainly reads like a canon choice.
>>725885747The answer is most definitely yes, because she has a statue. All owlcat waifus get statues.
>The Kroot carefully preserve the traditions of their kin, perpetuate their genes through the ceremonial consumption of the dead, and fear above all falling into an 'evolutionary dead end' by mindlessly devouring unfit flesh. This is going to be her personal quest probably. Have her eat enough unfit flesh during your dead end investigations and she will end up as some mindless beast oe whatever.
>this is what Owlcat spends their marketing budget onhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvdTrrl8stQ
>>725887179this guy is funny tho
>>725887501No.
>>725887627Yes.
>>725885747I've never seen a kroot without shades of green for their skin tones. Why is this bitch blue?
>>725888324Probably ate a Tau, hence her exile
>>725888324What's wrong with this cat?
>>725888324
>>725888623but that Kroot is whole body blue, here only the face is blue
>>725885823mmm fuckable
>>725888524I can't remember where I read it but a Kroot did do that and began evolving rapidly and randomly since the Tau did evolve pretty quickly for any species. So I doubt that this kroot did that considering shes not a fish-like abomination.
>>725889459But how else would she be an inedible?
>>725885747Nevermind that. The kroot is a boring character but not really the worst offender. The black medic woman is going to be another token insert with an annoying personality just like Idira and Seelah, most likely. I would be very surprised if they had her dialogue and voice acting actually be endearing instead.
>>725889910She's going to be a serious medic type probably, and predictably at the bottom of every character poll Owlcat will do.
WTF is a Kroot? 40k is about humans stomping on xeno nuts and fags
>>725890668I don't think you know 40k very well....
>>725885747>Kroot fem romance>Mechanicus fem romanceAre us men finally winning for once?
>>725890718I played Rogue Trader and Space Marine 2, I probably know more than you do, faggot
>>725890959Considering you have no idea what a Kroot is, no. You're not even a secondary, you're a tertiary. And that is just a fact.
>>725888623I have never in my life seen anyone paint a Kroot yellow. Not even in creative tabletops.
>>725885747I'd rather custom generate my whole party like in Icewind Dale than have annoying or boring characters with stories written by ESLs.
>>725891267You can do that in all Owlcat games.
>>725891337There's usually friction in the process. Unless toybox or bag of tricks is available you need substantial amounts of whatever currency the game uses to fill in the whole party.You're also usually forced to use premade characters through long prologues before you find an NPC that makes the option available. So not quite the same.
>>725891267>annoying or boring characters with stories written by ESLs.Because companions written by Americans are so much better.
>>725890830>sexless ugly bird freak>sexless half robot (that's not even confirmed to be a girl)Men have been winning since Kingmaker, if anything this is going to be the first game where we don't win
>>725891541I see what you mean
>>725891714How did men possibly win in RT?
>>725890668Aggressive bird-like aliens with mutable genetics who are famous for hiring themselves out as mercenaries to other species.
>>725886831That isn't really how the kroot work.
>>725892074>finally get the pure virgin you've been begging for years>"noooo doesn't count she's a mutant noooooooo"To say nothing of the literal servant romance DLCI'm well aware that /v/ is filled with contrarians that always look for something to complain about, but the truth is, straight men have been winning ever since they released the twins DLC
>>725892380Why?
Is there typically a male/male non-human relationship for gay men in Owlcat's games.
>>725892450Kroot genetic mutability is more of a successive generations thing. A kroot doesn't get a bigger bench number from eating an ork. A kroot may get some slight physical changes from what they eat, but it's not going to be that they'll grow wings or something. It is later generations of kroot that will get the bulk of the genetic changes from what the previous generation of kroot ate.
>>725885747>Dark Heresy>Not Black CrusadeNot buying another game where I play some Imperial fags instead of cruising with my Psychotic Schizo Chaosbros.Fuck normies for not wanting a game where you finally get to larp as a 5000 year old professional rapist with delusions of godhood.
>>725892667>>Not Black CrusadeYou'll get that in five years. Trust the plan.
>>725892629WotR had Sosiel
>>725892745the buck breaking romance
>>725891623>Because companions written by Americans are so much better.Yes, actually the Pillars rosters are mostly better than the Owlcat rosters with only a few standout exceptions here and there per game.The problem with Obsidian is that every good crpg company or brand now belongs to Microsoft or Zenimax, so they're affected by the touch of rot brought on by giant media corporations.
>>725886831We’ll see, we may get some of the most detailed new Kroot lore so far out of the game. Tabletop kinda overlooks them for the most part. IIRC I don’t think individual Kroot are supposed to change quite that quickly although they do change. It’s more so that Kroot children can be drastically different from their parents.
>>725892662I read a story where a Kroot explicitly ate the eyes of a human to get sharper sight.
>>725885747wake me up when these retarded russian niggers make a black crusade game.
Rogue Trader was my first exposure to 40 K, and it gave me a harsh lesson on how most xenos are scum. Hopefully, this Kroot is more trustworthy than the two space elves. I don't even know why Maruzhai was even recruitable. There's no reason the most chaotic RT would ally themselves with that psycho--not even in an enemy of my enemy situation.A Black Templar companion would be cool, too.
>>725894268>I don't even know why Maruzhai was even recruitable. There's no reason the most chaotic RT would ally themselves with that psychoWoman and/or gay RT
>>725894268It's still unfathomable to me how Owlcat made a RT game, THE setting for Xenos interaction, and all they gave us were two shitty space elves.
>>725894468Women do be retarded. They love a man who might murder them.
>>725892417>pure virginI can fix her
>>725895240through rape?
orkz iz best
>>725885823looks a little man-ish.Depends on her voice
>>725895875Still shocked that Owlcat hasn't listened to fans at all. Orks are the most requested xenos race in every poll and they are not present in RT, and neither do they look present in DH.
>>725895308No, through the Power of Rock'nRoll
>>725895913Owlcat's marketing has sucked for Dark Heresy. With Rogue Trader almost all the companions were revealed four months from the teaser, and for DH it's been over six months and we still only know about the four starting companions.
>>725895993>Orks are the most requested xenos raceThat can't possibly be true, do you have a source?Also I have a suspicion that GW doesn't want to push orks much since they're too silly and they're lately trying to work on their brand with SM2, Darktide and Owlcat's entries giving the setting a more cinematic/realistic feeling.
>>725896242YEEEEAAAAH!!!!!!
>>725885823Genuinely what would the inquisitor cabal way if you waltzed in with a Kroot and declared you were getting married to it.
>>725897026say*
>>725897026About a pound less after shitting a brick
>>725896475Orks can be silly, but they can also be brutally terrifying. Depends how they are written.I can see them being left out of RT to keep the game a bit focused and not as bloated but not having them in DH would be an odd choice.
I don't give a shit about crpgs bros. I'm not gonna play one just for a crumb of bird cloaca
>>725897825If you don't like crpgs why are you here
>>725897769An Inquisitor, an Eldar corsair, a Kroot, and an Ogryn walk into a bar...
>>725897890Bird cloaca
>>725898005Kroot don't have cloaca, they excrete through sweat.
>>725898090That's kinda hot
>>725897769i think thats the thing about orks is, they are really only silly on a superficial layer."haha they think painting cars red makes them go faster"meanwhile the orks death march human cattle on leashes, eating women and children in front of their husbands that they use as human training dummiesorks are really cruel creatures at heart, basically completely incapable of any kind of mercy.
>>725898220>The Kroot generate little in the way of waste, excreting it in the form of a pungent, oily sweat that has a variety of properties, depending on what the Kroot has consumed. The most apparent benefits are that this sweat appears to be heat-retardant to a degree, has antibiotic properties, serves as insulation, and can cause a poorly-aimed blow to slide clear.Tfw no Kroot gf to warm you on a cold planet with her sweat
Gue'vesa sim when?
>>725898586I want a Tau or Gue'vesa trooper in Dark Heresy.
>>725898586What would that sim consist of. Breeding Tau women?
>>725892662>>A kroot doesn't get a bigger bench number from eating an ork>Kroot that eat a particularly muscular species, such as Orks, will take on more muscular physiques themselves.
>>725894268There's still two more DLC to go, we can still get our based xenos retinueORK FREEBOOTA OWLCAT PLEASE
>>725899429Only chance of that is in the processional of the damned it seems like. An ork freeboota holed up in a space hulk.
>>725899429>implantsJokaero companion
>>725899695
>>725899429I hope the DLC are worth it. I am holding off on another 200 hour playthrough until all DLC is out.
>>725899153Yeah, a Kroot will get some more muscle, but they won't become Ork sized. Like a Kroot that eats some flying stuff won't just grow wings. They might get a little taller, their bones might start to be come a little less dense, but it's subsequent generations that will actually gain the big benefits of the DNA a kroot eats. Shapers can't direct their kroot to eat some fish, and then a week later they all have gills.
>>725899695I would nut
>>725888324Its an Ultramarine Krrot.
All I want is a full xenos retinue. I think that would be incredibly fun in such a xenophobic setting.
>>725889687>But how else would she be an inedible?Lost her tribe's ancestor's ancient skinning knife or some other honor bullshit
>>725899429If it's not a cute waifu xeno, no buy.
>>725900271one female, one male. Makes the most sense.
>>725891623I'm pissed off they made Aeloth gay in II.
>>725895240>subwoofer legsfucking based
>>725894268>A Black Templar companion would be cool, too.It wouldn't
>>725894268I killed Yrliet on Janus and roleplayed recruiting Marazhai as my only way out of Commoragh, gave him to the Mandrakes on my way out though.
>>725899429Still hoping Processional gives us a mutant GF and not a stable one like Cassia, I want a wife with claws and acid spit.
This is my attitude
>>725885823I appreciate the pseudo thighhighs but the bodyshape and face is too manly.
>>725904619All Kroot look so similar
Can't wait.
>>725898263Yes but then in actual gameplay and not in books or some sadism simulator that doesn't exist you only see orks doing silly things like strapping big cartoony rockets to themselves like jetpacks or piloting primitive airplanes like some kind of whimsical caricature.
The real reason why we haven't gotten an Ork companion yet is because Owlcat, being a bunch of Russians, do not feel confident enough in their ability to articulate Orkish prose and dialect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHgu_fBlSjk
>>725905246Judging by the relentless word vomit Owlcat shits out as dialogue I don't think they're lacking in confidence.
>>725905797Can't be worse than PoE II
>>725905902it also flopped. what even is your intent
>>725903215 recruiting Marazhai as my only way out of CommoraghI don't know why Owlcat didn't do this, makes a lot more sense recruiting him if it were the case.Even super Dogmatic players would get a better payoff by then betraying and killing him.
>>725904456>*teleports behind you*Heh. Nothing personnel, kid.
>>725906039word vomit.
>>725905246That sounds like utter horseshit.
>>725894268Black Templar are really one note.Plus having one on board and not immediately killing all the aliens/psykers would make even less sense then the other companions.
>>725905902PoE 1 and 2 both have much better dialogue so I don't know what you're talking about. You take any narrative text from both games that are more than two sentences and compare them and I think you'll find the Pillars dialogue to be more with it and relevant to read.Obviously not counting the backer fanfiction NPCs.
>>725906402but having a Night Lords companion is feasible?
>>725906060*commissions porn of you*
>>725906402Owlcat give us something worse. A dark angel
>>725904883
>>725898386>Kroot are constantly oiled up nice.
>>725907208There's already some over in the 40k thread in /aco/
>>725908014but it stinks
>She>Her>GfKroot are literally sexless aliens that mate through skin contact and give birth via pukingThere are no male or female kroot, they have no genitals, not even a butthole, they are smoother than a barbie doll down thereIts not a "she", its an IT, stop trying to humanize and push your fetishes onto the alien abomination
>>725908405Tell that to Owlcat then since its clear they'll be writing a romance of this creature
>>725908405Wrong, they're dimorphic which is seen in their breeding cycle. Only female Kroots can give birth and only male Kroot can excrete a special oil that functions as the seed which they rub into the female.
>>725908461At no point was it ever stated they would have a romance with the kroot
>>725908784She has a statue. All Owlcat waifu bait characters get statues.
>>725908784We'll see....
What's Owlcat's fetish for disenfranchised xenos?
>owlcat spends 1000 hours writing romance plots>dogmautist me just shoots all the xenos in the head and stonewalls human waifubait
>>725909690only monodominants, who are heretics in their own right
alpha soon
>>725910714Will toybox be available for the alpha? Since its the same engine I think as RT?
>uses a rifle>is a ranger>outcast from her people>is a xeno>finds human ways strangeNice try owlcat. Fool me once, shame on meFool me twice, can't get fooled again
>>725891254You paint vespid yellow with black stripes for the bee même. Doesn't work on kroot, it's just ugly
>>725899978>elantach helping yrliet pass an athletics check
>>725892074DLC girlYou actually have kids with her>but she sends your firstborn off to be raised by the cultYeah which she is personally the head of.
>>725911214instant win
>>725892074NavigatorKibelah Jae the gispy for anons into mid Exotical used goodEldar for big brain no sex anonA bunch of gay path for gay anons
>>725895240Noise marine is the coolest chaos SM
>>725911348Honestly, Kibellah does the heavy lifting here, Cassia is overrated and gross-looking, Yrliet is like dating an aspie, and Jae is irritating as fuck even if you like brown women.
>>725890668well its one of the xenos humans sometimes stomp?
>>725911665Cassia makes my teeth hurt, she's so sickly sweet
>>725911665>Yrliet is like dating an aspieI didn't even realize I was dating her until the end when she came into my office and the space saxophone music came on and she wanted to get spirit-marriedI was trying to avoid all the romances because I usually find them ridiculous in games.
>>725885747Will you able to comment about how stinks she is?
>>725910850Yeah should workI mean stuff in RT still is using the Kingmaker naming
>>725905120Where do books even say anything of the sort?
>>725885747are interspecious intimate relationships even a thing in 40k?
>>725889687Willfully rejected the rules of her society, same as Yrliet
>>725911348All mogged by jimmy’s romance
>>725911348You forgot someone
>>725911976Eldar male x human female yesHuman male x eldar female not really
Such a lovely couple
>>725912164>jimmyGo back, >>>/vg/crpgg/ subhuman
>>725885823Similar body type
>>725885747As of right now, I am exponentially more excited for the Rogue Trader DLCs than I am this new game
>>725912757I really liked both DLCs so far, even the second one which was a bit scattershot
Owlcat reasoning:>Players liked Wenduag>Players liked Yrliet>Players particularly liked Cassia>What do all these have in common? Monstrous or alien, described in text as decidedly unattractive Thus, Ra'akhti was born.
>>725885747Isn’t Faggot Workshop the reason you aren’t allowed to actually bang the Eldar waifu in this RT?
>>725899429>no chaos playthrough companionIT'S SO FUCKING OVER
>>725912681Do Eldar have normal vaginas.
>>725914170Not really. Some say GW vetoed the romance with the Sister of Battle, which is why the developing friendship with her just grinds to a halt after Act 1However it is confirmed there were major rewrites of Yrliet, requiring the VA to come backFirst it was an evil slut-clone of Yrliet who assumed her place and tricked you into going to Commorragh (which is why the fact that deldar can make clones kept being brought up for no apparent reason)Then this was scrapped and Yrliet was conciously working with Marazhai all alongThen that was scrapped too and she was bamboozled by him as well, leading to the current incoherent mess
>>725914503According to Xenology, the males have normal dicks. No examination of a female eldar is yet on record. Apparently getting an eldar girl pregnant requires several carefully timed rounds of jizzing in her>Elantach remember you have to inseminate me again at 7 o'clock>do you want me to tell you when it's 7 o'clock
>>725914503Yes, but they are not for stubby mon-keigh phalluses
Interested to see what kind of voice they'll give the kroot
>>725913012>Players liked YrlietDoesn't she rate one of the lowest in the companion poll?
>>725915069Wendog type probably but more scratchy and birdy
>>725915375She seems fairly popular according to their survey
Am I running too much melee/elite shit? I kinda feel like I need more shitmunchers for use as screens and action monkeys.
>>725915454Oh I guess I remembered wrong, carry on Yrlietards
>>725885823since its an owlcat game if you dont take her it will lead to like 1000 bugs that they wont fix for 2 years since everyone else takes hermany such cases
>>725912915I'm pretty sure the first one was cut content.
>>725904883>fighting hardLike they fought hard for Amiri? And Argenta? These fucking idiots. Stop wasting time begging IPs to do things they don't want to fucking do. In the very best case scenario you'll end up with asexual slop like Yrliet, which was just fucking worthless. At worst you'll end up with Argenta, LESS THAN WORTHLESS! YOU STUPID CUNTS!
>>725915454This is amazing. All she does is fuck up continuous and then act superior at every opportunity, why the fuck do people like this cunt?
>>725890959>>725890668appallingly poor quality attempt at trolling, why dont you just fuck off kid?
>>725885747Dark Heresy's companion roster is so fucking gay. Sausagefest with no waifus, just a titless bird alien and an ugly fucking monkey. Compare to the Owlcat's A-team making The Expanse game. Dark Heresy B-team is so fucking pathetic. Bunch of faggots.
>>725916041Liking a character in a story doesn't mean you "like" them as in you approve of their actions. It means you find them interesting and enjoy watching them play their part in the plotPeople "like" Wenduag but that doesn't mean they'd let her in their house if she were real.
>>725916215Sex with the aryan queen.
>>725908405WRONG, this one has eaten so many human females that she has tits and a pussy
>>725916253Based. I mean come on, even the black girl in Expanse looks normal. Compared to the goddamn orangutan in Dark Heresy.
>>725915829>>725916041Her romance was popular tooGamers are suckers for the old>Yrliet and Elantach>Elantach and Yrlietsweet-talk
>>725911321>>725911214reminder how kibles succeeded her mentor
>>725916154You're the 4th responder. That means it's medium bait at least
>>725916215The music is pretty good too for this type of gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PqNeoff3NI
>>725916569Nah my Kibbles reformed the cult>Tenet of Loveor some shit, I wasn't listeningNo more killing your master to succeed
>>725916665lol gay
>>725916618To be fair, I understand the concerns this Pippi Longstocking qt won't be romanceable.
>>725916618That actually is better music than the Expanse showMakes the boring old Solar System seem poetic
>>725916691She's 17.
>>725916691She is not your belter pet, tumang

>>725915926I feel like Void Shadows belonged in a dark heresy gameSqualid underhive, rabble rousers, a death cult, genestealersWhat does a ship need with a high-speed freight line lolThe entire ship is only a kilometre or two long, those trains couldn't get up to speedBut it works fine in a hive city
>>725917064Time dilation from boosting with the Epstein DriveIt's all legal
>>725917137It'd work if the ship was a cruiser instead of a frigate
>>725917137I think a lot of stuff would have probably suited Dark Heresy more but I guess they didn't know if they'd get a second shot so threw all the ideas in.
>>725917903Dark Heresy should've had waifus instead of sausagefest
>>725917997Bro, your Ra'ak'hti?
>>725918016>Another asexual weirdo romance with a shit endingNo thanks
>>725885747...her?
>>725918128Yes, she is female
>>725918178So was Yrliet and that was complete fucking trash.
>>725918219Maybe she'll let you touch her this time
>>725918645What makes you think that?
>>725885823i'm a gay dude and this is manly and hot to me. gay vibes if you fw this body type.
>>725918737Owlcat wouldn't fuck us over twice in a row
>>725919030>Amiri>Nurah>Argenta>YrlietYou were saying?
>>725885823Bro could play power forward for the LA Lakers with those giant hands
>>725885747The only thing I want to do to the Kroot is ethnically cleanse them like the Uyghurs untll they stop being part of the T'au on the tabletop and either get squatted or ogre kingdoms'd
>>725919309Are the T'au 'grimdark' at all or are they just like space NATO or some shit
>>725919471Modern Tau reputation comes from people not really reading official Codex and getting their information from Youtubers. Tau are very much "diplomacy at gunpoint" and unofficially treating everyone but them as second class citizens. They're nice guys in so far that everyone else is magnitudes of order worse.
>>725919082Someone hates the fans at Owlcat.
>>725919471The only "grimdark" think they have going for them is lore added to them after everyone thought they were gay. Now the mainline Tau are basically mind controlled by the Ethereals, they're smug assholes who don't take "no" for an answer, in some cases outright racist towards anyone that isn't Tau (the species). There's also some speculative parts about maybe possible secretly sterilizing populations to control numbers.
>>725919793Exactly. So again, what makes you think the Kroot or the Mechanicus will be anything but trash? They need to stop fucking begging the IP holders to let them do Le Daring shit and just focus on traditional waifus the players won't get cockblocked out of. It keeps fucking happening then they keep pulling a surprised pikachu face and kicking the can down the road, blaming the IP holdwr every time while still coming up with more retarded fucking ideas. Just do THIS >>725916215 and stop being retarded!
>>725919658>dat feel when Farsight Enclaves are in danger of falling to Khorne without even realizing Fire caste running your society might not be the best idea.
>adding gay bird xeno scum>not adding schizo psyker flavour into every dialogueNGMIkotokek games are glorified dungeon crawlers without flavour
>>725919471Very rigid caste system, think India except they have brains and know what a bathroom is.Most of their population is mind controlled to some degree by Ethereals (though they're wishy washy on this)In lore they're supposedly a diverse conglomerate of many races but in reality there's 3, but it's really 1.6 with T'au (blue cow people) being 1, Kroot being a .5 and Vespids being a .1There's grim darkness, naturally but you have to actually attempt to look for it because A) they're a MINOR faction among minor factions due to being Xenos and their aesthetic is very clean and presentable (until you look at the ugly gorilla niggers that are the Kroot) and you want to sterilize them all.
>>725919658The aesthetic looks 'Japanese' or maybe 'digital/modern' in a way that contrasts every other faction in the game ive seen to the point i wouldnt expect it's from 40k. As long as the t'au have some moral complexity written in ig it's okay
>>725919471They are the world state in Brave New World (you even have Kroot as the savage stand-in) with manifest destiny wars in place of drugs to keep the masses going. Everyone in 40k is just worse
>>725919471Space ChinaT'au = HanAllied races = minority races in ChinaSo you know who's really in charge
WHERE is my Deldar waifu OwlcatYou promised me

>>725899429Two DLC and after they have launched we will get a definitive edition 2 years later like with WotR. No reason to play the game yet.
>>725919082with Argenta & Yrliet it's official GW policy of "no lewd of specific factions allowed"
>>725921208mods will fix it trust the plan
>>725921424Owlcat punished us for hating liz. Nurah is our fault.
>>725885823Where is this from
>>725921163>Deldar waifuWhy are you into BDSM, anon?She is shoving that clawed finger in your butt.
>>725921208just change the dialogue a bit and the kroot is a dude
>>725891623I thought the birb bitch looked kinda hot in her pillars 1 portrait but she's ugly as sin looking in 2.
>>725921502Does not matter when Deldar rejuvenation treatments can regenerate people from specks of brain tissue.
>>725921450Okay, and? How will that be any different from the Kroot and Mechanicus (which they've already fucking vetoed before lmao)? Owlcat already said nothing's confirmed, just that they're "trying their best" aka wasting fucking time again when they could just do this >>725916215 and everybody would he satisfied instead of blueballed and cockblocked. They're fucking retarded.
>>725908854Haven't they only done that twice in their three games, Arue for Wrath and Cassia for Rogue Trader? I don't think that's enough to establish a trend until we find out if this bitch has a romance.Even though it'll just be a weird "romance" like Yrilet where by the end she's willing to hold your hand.
>>725921379this creature is skinny has wide hips and titties. unfair comparison and i think you'll see the outfit isnt enough
>>725919082Amari and Argenta are the only two I care about there. Owlcat can only write good male midgets and Yrliet is fucking ugly like all female Eldar.
>>725921208Certainly. His name is Larry.I anticipated a Spock-like character.
>>725919793>Romancing a Sister of Battle.It's as disruptive to lore as female Space Marines.Their husband is the Emperor. You're asking them to cuck the Emperor of Mankind.
>>725921398With Ork it would be cool if the climax of the "romance" is a having a proper fight where he knocks your teeth out
>>725921749>Eldar>A fucking pirate WarlockI'll take it motherfucker
I love how Owlcat continue making games that they abandon before they're properly finished to then skip to the next game.
>>725921771>dumb secondary spouting more redditlore bullshitThey're DAUGHTERS of the Emperor and they're fucked all the time by randos in canon.
>>725921771Big E is a netorasechad so it's fine.
>>725921771>Their husband is the Emperor.NO you brianletThey are the Emperor's DAUGHTERSThey are NOT his WIVESThere was a whole big heresy in which an evil High Lord of Terra declared that the Sisters were the Brides of the Emperor, and the Emperor acted through him. He used them as he personal playthings. There was a book about it.Ever since it has been made very clear that they have a father/daughter relationship with the Emperor.It's not a weird thing like how irl nuns are "brides of Christ"Sisters can and do marry, to the extent that their duties permit. Bearing children is the greatest service a woman can perform for the Emperor. The Imperial Cult is about life, not death like Christianity is.Argenta is basically a curator in charge of artifacts so she would have plenty of time for family life.
>>725916253>dark eyebros>aryan
>>725921441I used to believe this argument, but then I got RT for cheap on HumbleBundle and boy am I glad I played it now instead of waiting until some distant definitive edition arrives. Even just the base game was a blast
>>725921771>implying Ordo Famulous sisters don't fuck with the nobles they are watching for signs of corruption.
>>725921980There's even a reference to this in RT. One of the datapads on the frozen planet is a noblewoman writing about how delightful the new sister of the order famulous is.
>>725921771Retard.
>>725921820Yrliet would be literally unable to open her legs fast enough
>>725922040But you can't fuck Argenta because straight men would enjoy that, so have more sausagefest fagshit.
>>725921678>Even though it'll just be a weird "romance" like Yrilet where by the end she's willing to hold your hand.They'll reverse it. She'll want to be all touchy with you, but you'll find her weird and repulsive until the end where you are able to get over yourself.
>>725894268>I don't even know why Maruzhai was even recruitableWAIT WHAT?! How is this a thing? I thought it was surprising to be able to recruit Chorda for the final mission
>>725922148That's what you get when you have russian writers who are extremely left leaning in social issues due to the despot government.
>A Ogryn>A Kroot>A Eldar Corsair >A Catachan>A negress medicaeParty looks grim so far.
>>725921163Right here Mon-K... I mean Rogue Trader
>>725921980>watching for signs of corruption*grooming
>>725922148No I just fucked Cassia and shoot my cum into her gills.
>>725922216Ogryn will be basedCorsair should be based in theoryCatachan looks super generic. I'd rather he was just a regular kinda slovenly guardsman, not some superfag
>>725922213The best RPGs are a bit left leaning though anon
>>725921820Him being a wayfinder implies there might be some webway travel to other planets. Allows for a wider setting without needing a whole ship travel aspect.
>>725888324Kroot by their very nature come in a massive amounts of shapes, sizes, and color, the standard kroot you usually see is mostly portrayed most of the time for convience and time saving for models and artwork, that being said the blue in this case is likely face paint
>>725922216Have they revealed or hinted at any other companions? I remember we found out about Ulfar before they officially revealed him since a video or something showed an unfinished version of his portrait. And one trailer for Rogue Trader shows a portrait for a sister of battle.
>>725922323I think they already said the plot of this one is set around a single planet and it's surrounding moons and stations or something such, since it's all about the tyrant star.
>>725922414Some glimpses of an asian looking psyker in some of the gameplay footage. Also models were released which included a female deldar, but that might be an NPCRumours of a Night Lords companion.
>>725922257They are supposed to groom the heirs of noble houses so they put the church above all.
>>725892662It’s literally the other way around What are you talking about
>>725922463Yeah and apparently you will have a ship, but a little in-system one, about the size of the KotOR ship
>>725922287This is like claiming VTMB's left is the exact same as Current Year left. Ridiculous.
Does the tabletop ever explain what IS the tyrant star? >>725922472We'll for sure be getting a space marine companion like Rogue Trader. And in that you could fall to chaos and have a word bearer join you, so a night lord will probably be a heretic exclusive companion and you otherwise get a deathwatch guy or some other chapter.
>>725922472>mfw 5'11
>>725922594Hopefully this time they design the levels so that when you get the marine companion he can actually fucking move around the map.
>>725894268Maruzhai with a full chaos psycho rogue trader is wild.You even have blood orgies.
>>725922594>Deathwatch blackshield >Big mystery of who is original chapter was>Companion quest reveals his old chapter>He's Alpha Legion
>>725891254yellow is already a bitch to paint, now imagine that but now you also have to worry about making it look somewhat organic, no add to the fact xenos are already niche in general meaning you will encounter fewer people willing to paint them yellow
>>725922594>Does the tabletop ever explain what IS the tyrant star?I think it's pretty much a carte blanche plot device for GMs, so no.
>>725911976you saw outright mentions of it in the very very early days of 40k, currently there really isn't any direct mention but there is the occasional hint of it
>>725922623

>>725888324>>725888941Its clearly paint you imbecile
>>725923094as the other guy said, they have a dick for pissing but they likely don't have any balls since they use spores to make more orks

>>725912346I offered him to a slaanesh deacon, hoping to get a sonic weapon. As soon as I heard that he tortured my crew on my ship without my approval, he was a dead man walking.
>>725916216I would let wenduag in my house if I were strong enough to manage her. She's too cute.
>>725924451I'd have her spider legs surgically removed. Then she'd be the perfect bratgirl
>>725921824What are you talking about?KM got a heap of extra content, WotR got more, and they've committed to a second season pass for RT despite DH and Expanse being worked on.
>>725925286He means that all of them have the same problem of endgame not existing and story being rushed into completion.
>>725915454I actually liked Idira more then I thought I would.
>>725916552Is Jae only higher because there's less straight women playing games?
>>725925558Yeah. Heinrix will always be at the bottom because very few players are interested in a female-only romance.
>>725916215>>725916496Isn't one of them a female belter so she'll probably be pretty tall? And I know apparently your first companion is going to be your siblings who's the opposite gender of you.
>>725925623Yes, this girl is the belter >>725916618

>>725925623
>>725926012She's only seen two solar orbits you SICK INNER FUCK
>>725885823Am I just used to the minis, or is her head is too small
>>725926012It would be neat if Earthers have a substantial strength advantage due to growing up in much higher gravity than everyone else.
>>725925623>>725926012Are they even going to do that In the game? Belters are meant to be like two meters taller then the average human and thin. They obviously weren't that tall in the show since it's live action.
>>725926138>two meters taller then the average humanUh I think it was two meters outright. Not two meters taller.They did it once. The pajeet globohomo lady is tormenting a belter captive and he's all tall and weird looking. Then they never did it again.
>>725926223Yeah I probably fucked that up, I'm only awake. I just remember they're meant to be quite tall and thin.Martians as well but they have drugs to strengthen their bones or something.
>>725926138The Belter character in the trailer was significantly taller, so probably
>>725926423There was a trailer?
>>725926587The one in the middle is a Belter player character
So hwæt are the chances that this, as said by devs, shorter game (rogue trader doesn't feel that long) will have some flavour which will warrant playing another time? Heretic and imperial/blue cocksucker runs in rogue trader aren't that different. Also all your charactwrs are the same - you cannot roleplay a clown with impostet syndrome or read minds as a psyker (which would help in discovering that Yrliet is very stupid and I doubt that a space elf school dropout knows how to defend her mind from being probed)
>>725895240This image would convince me to do chaos worship far more effectively than demon pussy. Slanesh needs a rebranding this shit is cool as fuck
>>725926669anon that space elf dropout knows how to shield her mind from demons when you travel through the warp. eldars all know how to defend their minds else they just become slaanesh snacks
>>725926982She gets fucked pretty hard on the first trip. Once you get to know her she admits that Slaanesh latched onto her the first time and invaded the ship with daemons, until she learned to get a handle on the situation.Eldars don't normally travel that way.
>>725926669>hwætDon't think I didn't see this
The order of the characters from the camera matches the distance of their homeworlds from the sun
Is Venus settled in the Expanse setting? I've always liked the idea of Venusian cloud cities.
>>725922323They already confirmed that the entire game is bound to a single planet.
>>725928149No, Venus colonisation got bogged down in rights issues if I remember correctly
So what's the Expenses cultures like? I assume earth is normal space republic, mars is more authoritarian and militaristic, and the belters are muh freedom?
>>725928749Pretty muchEarth = NATO/UN globohomoMars = National Space Socialist. Martian Congressional Republic is meant to invoke Soviet Socialist Republic, since Soviet means Congress sort of in Russian.Belters = outcasts, muckrakers, and ne'er-do-wells
>>725928856>SovietCouncil
>>725928949And Congress is pretty much a sort of CouncilMCR was meant to be a kind of space USSRThey're even working towards a big goal far in the future: true communism on one hand, and a living, terraformed Mars on the other. And in both cases the youth are losing interest in the final goal.
>>725928749Martians look down on E*rthersThey regard us as pathetic NEETs living off UN gibs, dwelling on a paradise world but unable to perceive the wonder around us.Earthers regard Martians as aggressive militarists.Belters are regarded by all as uncouth primitives.
>>725929121"Sort of" doesn't cut itCongress is congressNegroid, I give you a direct translationsybau
>>725929342Whatever manIf you're trying to pretend that the MCR isn't substantially inspired by the USSR, then you're just another pathetic Earther

Okay, but seriously, what's with the gap between Expanse's companion attractiveness with the hot ass anime waifus and DH's weird monkeyfaces? And don't say aliens, this isn't even about that. The human woman in DH is uglier than the cannibal ostrich. And it's not a black thing either, because I would absolutely colonise the black girl in Expanse.
>>725929648Different teams probablyDH is the shart-tier B-teamShitspants is the A-team with higher standard all aroundNotice how the DH group shot is pretty shoddy compared to RT. Much less dynamic and action filled.
>>72592964840k is grimdark and English
>>725894268Marazhai is funny as fuck and people who just kill them miss out on some of the best dialogue and banter in the game. Especially if you have both Marazhai and Yrliet in the party, they bicker at each other constnatly and it is funny as hell.
>>725929962I like when they fight
>>725898263This.Orks have inherently sadistic sense of humor. They are like kids that find it funny how a bug squirms under the rays of a maginifying light or how they wiggle around uselessly after their legs have been torn out. Orks do not torture just to hurt their victims or even get information, they torture their victims because they find the screams funny. There is no higher level to their cruelty, it is just shit they do to amuse themselves.
sex with cassiaidira sold to the inquisitionboth elf and delf are deadabelard and pasqal are my brossimple as
>>725930128Eldar, on the other hand, lack all inherent empathy at all, other that what is provided by their psychic powers. They don't have the part of the brain (the amygdala) that simulates what the other person is feeling, because they don't need it, because of psychic powers. That's why they feel nothing wrong with torturing a human to death.

>>725922964>>725923051Illiyan has been wholly retconned m8. As in, not just that he was just forgotten to the ashes of 1st edition, but to a point where he was explictly replaced/reworked into a character of same name that is full blooded Eldar farseer from Uthwe, that served as emissary to Guilliman.GW has made it very blatant that they do not want half eldar to be a thing in 40k. The concept does not work at all with the way the lore of the Eldar was developed past rogue trader era. Eldar and humans are entirely unrelated species and the Eldar were apparently already around before even the first ancestors of mankind crawled out of the primordial ooze (if we go by the newest Dark Eldar codex) which would make the Eldar as a race fucking billions of years old. This might just be GW writers being hacks and having no concept of time scales they are operating with, but given that other lore sources date the war in heaven to occur around the time when earth still habored dinosaurs, the Eldar are at least over 66 million years old species.
>>725930560>the Eldar are at least over 66 million years old species.I go with this>Exodite Eldar ride proper earth dinosaurs>War in Heaven 66 million years ago>The exact same time the Chixulub Bolide struck the Earth and nearly wiped out all lifeBIG THINKThe Old Ones are a race of sapient dinosaurs from Earth. The Necrons tried to destroy them with an asteroid but failed
>>725930329For an artist, half the internet hates he is very influential on other Fan artists depicting of Abhumans in 40k
>>725930221That's wrong. The eldar are capable of extreme levels of empathy, just like other aspects of their emotions and intellect are capable of reaching extremes beyond the scope of experiences of other races. It is in fact precisely why the Dark Eldar are so adept at cruely, because they can empathize with their prey, and choose to do what they think would inflict most torment and anguish in their victim, be it trough physical, psychological or emotional means.
>>725930560It's hilarious that people like you cite lore retcons then turn around and insist, INSIST that female space marines will never happen because 40k lore is immutable. Wait...
>>725930329Mossa is unfathomably based and only normoid plebbitors hate him.
>>725929648I assume different teams and they imagine cause 40k is grim and dark everyone should be uglier and meaner?
>>725930790They can only empathise because of psychic powers, because they can feel literally what the prey feels through a direct psychic connectionThey can't use their imagination and think "what would it be like to be this person right now"Even their planning for the future relies on farseers literally seeing possible futures. They can't use their imagination and think about things that might happen, but haven't yet.
>>725930329Man I wish we got more from Abhumans beyond Ogryn and occasionally a ratling. Give us some longshanks, Beastmen and nightsiders stuff.
>>725930796If you knew fucking anything about the lore of 40k you'd realize that the setting as we know actually properly took it's form in the 2nd edition, with the 1st edition/rogue trader being extremely fucking weird in comparison to what we know 40k as today. 2nd and 3rd edition are where the factions, background lore etc was solidified and it has stayed remarkably consistent over time. And female space marines are probably never going to happen because GW is deathly afraid of fucking with their cashcow faction beyond just selling more muhreens to the marinepiggies even if it means reselling the entire range to them as happened with the primaris marines.
>femstodes
>>725930970>They can only empathise because of psychic powers,This is wholly unsubstantiated claim you just pulled out of your arse.Especially in context of the dark eldar given how they have athropied their psychic capabilities intentionally.>They can't use their imagination and think "what would it be like to be this person right now"According to fucking who?

>>725931053>They won't retcon anymore because they're done retconning! The retcons are proof they won't retcon!Huh?
>>725931053Fun fact about 40k, the original, rogue trader era factions of the setting were the Imperium, Orks, Eldar, and the Tyranids. Squats were there too but as part of the imperium. Chaos as a faction wasn't even a thing in the og rogue trader, it was introduced somewhere between rogue trader and 2nd edition.Nids are older than chaos when it comes to 40k.
>>725931497I like the idea of tyranids having dick canons
Freebootaz when?
>>725931731They will get some stuff in tabletop next year as for RT, probably at some point
>>725931346The Eldar draw largely from pagan european mythos as well, not just the japanese, and them being highly emotional has always been part of their lore. The entire path system of the Craftworld Eldar is based around controlling the passions of the Eldar into productive modes of life in order to avoid the slip into hedonistic decadence that led to the fall of their race.>>725931404I collect eldar among other factions like tyranids, orks, necrons, admech, tau and I even have some votan models I bought out of curiosity.My anger however is more about being tired of retarded niggers that spew fucking nonsense about the setting and act like it is canonical when they clearly have not engaged even a bit with the lore of the setting they are talking about.
Owlcat should make a wfrp game
>>725931731quality build
>>725932053>tl;dr: the eldar are far more space pagan than they are space japanese.
>>725931053>And female space marines are probably never going to happenAte you just going to pretend female custodes didn't happen? Or one better, pull the old "akshually it was never stated custodes were all male. :^)"
>>725921943>Bearing children is the greatest service a woman can perform for the Emperor.Absolutely false. Human lives are the imperium's most expendable resource and entire planets full of people are grown in vats you dumb faggot. No one fucking cares about how many babies a woman has.
>>725931494Nobody said that they won't definitely do retcons anymore, however as a rule GW has actually quite rarely done retcons, especially to lore that has been firmly established for decades. Like, even the change to necrons that made them more like space tomb kings happened in the second codex they got, rather than there having been multiple codexes that built up the oldcron lore only to be fucked over by newcron lore. There was a single necron codex with the oldcron lore in the 3rd edition, then the second codex came in the 5th edition that reworked the lore a bit and that rework has been the basis for all the subsequent codexes.
>>725932380Unlike the lore of the space marines, the lore of the custodes was not as epxlictly "no girls allowed due to geneseed reasons". I won't claim I like the idea of female custodes, as it fucks up the duality of sisters of silence being all female and the custodes being all male, however objectively, nothing besides the lore bit of "firstborn sons of high nobles of terra" or something like that being the stock from which custodes are drawn ever established them as an all male faction. Point being, unlike with space marines, where there is a clearly definined biological reason why they have to be all male in universe, such reasoning was not there for the custodes, who are not made the same way as spesh muhreens are. It isn't anywhere near as drastic of a retcon as introducing female space marines would be, and I doubt GW is stupid enough to make fem marines given how controversial the idea already is among the fanbase, with space marine fans especially being vocal about opposing the idea.Then again, the stupidity of GW should not be underestimated but generally when it comes to protecting their cashcows, they have been pretty sensible about them.
>>725932053That's a very interesting image you posted. There's more to Eldar than I realised t. guy who questioned why you were mad
>>725933063No problem m8.The Eldar are unironically one of the most aesthetically thought out faction within the setting. They are the pet project of Jess Goodwin, the longest standing concept artist still working for GW and the entire look of all the Eldar factions at this point is basically his brainchild.
>>725933186
>>725932795After the uproar of just the custodes getting women which as you said they can try and make justifications for, I don't think they'd ever fuck with the Marines just because they're the things people care most about.
>>725933372Yeah, I agree. It's probably not worth the risk for them even if there are some loud libshit retards among the BL writers that want to push that shit.
So I know space marines can't have sex (as far as I know they still have dicks they just can't get them up and they're sterile) but is that just a result of the process of becoming a marine, or a deliberate choice by the emperor to not have them completely replace humanity?
I fucking love Nurgle.
>>725933517>a deliberate choice by the emperor to not have them completely replace humanity?Definitely this. He chose not to allow marines to be a separate species. No females, no sex drive. This is elaborated upon in the novels.
>>725933761t. Hieronymus Doloroso
>>725933761I wish chaos was more interesting, you only get shit for Khorne and Nurgle and maybe the other two sometimes.
>>725933279I LOVE the Kabalite armor.
I love the Vottann and I'm tired pretending that I don't
>>725894268The Black Templars are fucking boring
>>725934012The Kabalite warriors still look pure sex even though they are pretty old sculpts at this point.>tfw no game that lets you play as a Dark Eldar in Commoragh
>>725919658> unofficially treating everyone but them as second class citizensLiterally not. The Tau are second class citizens themselves- it's the Ethereals on top, literally everyone else equal.
>>725933517Most likely the latter just because Big E wanted humanity to effectively evolve into what he is. Space Marines were just replacements of the thunder warriors that could be controlled better.
>>725920614I've never gotten the complaint about tau aesthetics "not fitting in" to 40k.They don't fit into the IMPERIUM but the imperium does not define the entirety of 40k's aesthetic range, because every faction within the setting has it's own look.The same claims about "not fitting in to 40k" that are leveled at tau could just as easily be leved at the Eldar or the Tyranids if they weren't foundational parts of 40k given how both factions have such wildly different look to the imperial stuff.
>>725933517Heresy era marines could have sex. Post heresy they are psycho indoctrinated to not feel any such desires.
>>725934515They never were having sex because they just aren't built with a sex drive. There was that Word Bearer that flat out couldn't understand he had the hots for a human woman because the feeling was utterly unfamiliar to him
>>72593448540k is just one of those things that naturally attracts the kinds of dudes that thinks everything about it needs to conform to his ideas about the setting and anyone who disagrees is a complete retard.

>>725934863You already are a Warhammer fan. You played all the good ones from the action genre. Next step is playing some of the strategy ones like Dawn of War or Total War Warhammer.
>>725889459Tau aren't fish anon, they're cows or whatever.
>>725891623I wanna object, but I literally remember nothing about PoE companions aside from Durance.
>>725911887that is kinda hot....
>>725935659Yeah...
>>725935273durance and kana are the better ones. aloth is only memorable because of iselmyr if one bothers to do his quest. devil of carroc was interesting in the dlc if ony because she's shoved in a cool mecha body
>>725922561Aside from the absence of tranny stuff and specific modern rhetoric? VTMB's politics don't really differ that much at the core.
>>725935925Bullshit
>>725935142Only in fanart because they give them cowtits
>>725935925>Aside from the differences, it's the same.No, you don't say. Did that argument sound better in your head, or what?
>>725936295Is that a real line in the game? Is that there because of the estrogen pills you can find in 1 that say not to take them if male?
>>725936295>his body his choiceBased
>>725936359Yes, it's real. Yes, that's the reason. They're righting a 20 year old wrong. Take that, far right chuds (aka previous generation leftists)!
>>725894268nazi
I actually can't think of a single companion in any owlcat game i hate more than Yrliet, in retrospect
>>725936631There are companions that are worse but there aren't any that are nearly as wasteful. Waste of a waifu. Waste of a slot. Waste of an opportunity. Waste of a potentially good idea. She's just an utter failure in every way.
>>725933963They have no rights for Malal and creating new ones is something GW is unable to do correctly. Oh and there are god wanna bes but they they're just that.About lack of Slaanesh content, it is problematic due to non-pegi 13 content surrounding it and in modern day you can't do some things cause X users would write mean comments or something.And Tzeentch? GW just don't know what to do with this tricky fella and its so obvious.So yeah chaos was and always will be just nurgle / khorne / undivided.Why would they add romance of inquisition agent with cannibalistic bird person? Why people even pretend to like the idea of it?
>>725916009I'm going to remain assmad Argenta wasn't a romance option and don't replay the game until there's a mod to fuck the Emperor's daughter
>>725936506Are you replying to yourself?
>>725936725>waifu Go play subverse
>>725936631I still don't know if I hated Linzi or Octavia more in Kingmaker. Or Seelah or Sosiel for Wrath. But I can't stand Yrliet.
>>725936853Slaanesh is pretty easy to fix if you just made she/he the god of excess and gluttony (Wealth/Drugs/Food) but noooo they have to be all about sex for some reason.Oh yeah and fuck that guy who sued GW over Malal. Such a badass concept vaulted forever.
And hints of other companions besides the ones in the artwork >Orgyn>Catachan dude>Negress medicae >Kroot>Eldar Corsair
>>725937057sosiel is wholly unredeemable. absolutely nothing good about him
>>725894268Give me a really likable and noble Lamenter character that has incredible stats and writing but always gets crit, always has a misfire and sucks at skill checks
>>725937182a female tech priest, don't know what specific branch
>>725886539who the fuck is buying that, are they out of their mind?
The next game should have the dark king and star child :)
>>725937483>underestimating monsterfuckers
>>725921771You're a dumb fucking faggot there have been multiple cases of them getting married to dudes in canon
>>725937182They'll pull a Wenduag/Lann choice but it'll be between a blank and a daemonhost.
>>725937274All I could find is the tech priest companion will be a romance but nothing about gender
>>725930992Same....
>>725937114>excess and gluttony (Wealth/Drugs/Food)The word you’re looking for here is decadence.
So from what I understand Rogue Trader did borrow some stuff from the tabletop (I've heard the other two Rogue Traders you meet are also from that) but was the whole C'tan shard stuff something owlcat made up?
>>725937114Eldar pain orgies were the thing that awoke it, so obviously sex & violence was and should remain as foundations of Slaanesh, pride and gluttony are just extras added by everybody else, without foundations Slaanesh would become boring and bland.The problem is bad writing and pussified audience/company who don't like sex, cruelty and abuse unless its some furry/anime gay shit.
>>725936272Based fanon keeping the faction udderly delightful
>>725937916>rogue trader uses a good version of c'than that was born on his ship to conceal his micro imperium from actual empire that was about to destroy his little paradise (with democracy & shit)Act 5 is fanfic.
>>725936725Yeah that's my issue, like in wotr camellia was an absolutely irredeemably evil cunt and that made her fun, but Yrliet was just insufferable to the degree it was annoying with a lot of weird missing shit and obvious rewrites that just make her a big nothing to me that I don't want to interact with>>725937057I am the minority of the minority that actually liked Seelah and kinda wish she had a romance option
>>725937759i don't want to believe it will be male
>>725937916It was made up to give people a good ending.
>The Grey Knights super secret orders they hyped up for years was just "Of the Emperor revives make him sit on the throne again" How are the Grey Knights so fucking lame
>>725888324Some are called Shapers for a reason
>>725939316How are a bunch of psyker space marines supposed to deal with the custodes and sisters of silence
>>725939494kaldor draigo has more plot armor than them
>>725939123>>725937759>>725937274they are not going to do this to us right? they haven't disappointed the straight males thus far..
I remember Kroot being really bad in Dawn of War, they have mediocre melee, despite having 30-06 like rifles the ranged damage is really poor.
>>725885747Genuinely can't wait for this given how brilliant the writing and first two acts of Rogue Trader are.Hope to god they figure out how to balance their game so player power creep doesn't turn the entire second half of the game into a slog.
>>725940549I remember that addon having botched translation to my language so when I've clicked on them some dude would say, with the intonation of squeezing out a turd, either "AGGRESSIVE KROOT NOISE" or "ANIMAL NOISES" where in English version these would be just that
I know this is a thread for the vidya, but for tabletop fags like myself I highly recommend painting kroot, it's pretty fun
>>725936506But if you assume they are psycho leftists or whatever then that original like isn't incorrect in the first place, since the only "men" who would be taking it would be trans women anyway.
>>725940295All kotokek women writers are yaoi-reading fatties from tumblrMost notable example being wotr where you choose between>interplanar bicycle>100yo autistic woman>furry>schizo murdererOnly moustache man pushes for more or less normal romances, such as>GOAT goats, a DLCor>Alt chick, a DLCmeaning that he's a greedy cunt
>>725941365>Kibellah>NormalWaifufags here have such weird standards, always stretching the definition of what's "abnormal" to cry about something, while pretending the extremely weird chick they like is actually normal
>>725942295I've had enough normal, now I want abnormal. I want to put a USB into a tech priest girl as she moans.
>>725939494>sisters of silenceI hate fem custodes just because it feels like GW is ignoring the sisters again. Both of battle and silence. They're cool as fuck.
>>725933474ADB will still push for them behind the scenes.Faggot wrote one decent trilogy of books and now proceeds to shit up the setting.
>>725885823>exile Xenos>the locals think she's a weird freak>she's baffled by their customs>only survives thanks to the patronage of (You)>uses a sniper rifleDidn't they just fucking do this?>>725885823>exile Xenos>the locals think she's a weird freak>she's baffled by their customs>only survives thanks to the patronage of (You)>uses a sniper rifleDidn't they just fucking do this?>>725921496Check the Steam page
>>725937483Tau is an expensive army, their fans can probably afford it.
>>725936853>And Tzeentch? GW just don't know what to do with this tricky fella and its so obvious.The problem with writing smart characters is that they can only ever be as smart as their writers.
>>725943168>Abnett went to shit making Erda a thingAre there any good 40k writers left?
>>725942295other options include fish femcel, gyspy and autistic femcelKibbles at least has hobbies like reading tarot and probably collecting rocks or what them art hoes do>>725942831That manuever caused a bit of a retarded question pop up in my headBlanks are rare (even as rogue trader we don't have one), so why only women get recruited to be sisters of silence? How are black ships staffed? The one with nurgle zombies we find had men blanks, so does that mean that women learn to do gang signs while dudes beat up zombies with bare hands? Imperium is a feminist shithole?Also why custodes specifically? Lore, as it was, stated that they were much more complicated space marines, who are all men because it is easier to make a man a 3m 1t walking tank than a woman. If more complicated custodes can now be women, why not space marines?Also I remember E or Malcador or that dude with a mohawk state somewhere that both bananamen and marinades are single sex as not to replace humanity
>>725937582but it looks like a man.
>>725943505She's literally a brainwashed cultist that's constantly scarring herself, there's nothing normal about her>Kibbles at least has hobbiesSo does Cassia, more of them than Kibellah in fact
>>725933279>kabalite armor has barbed wire and razors inside it so the weater can feel pain while evading attacksStupidly edgy.
>>725893503Human eyesight fucking sucks though
>>725943502Graham McNeill did the books with Uriel Ventris and Honsou and he's overall okay imo.
>>725943654Kibs can be fixed (to an extent) while Cassy will hit the wall and throw dice about 50 more times to get mutationsAlso RT's and Cassias kids might be 3 eyed which doesn't sound good for the vV dynasty
>>725939316>>725944094Wouldn't matter because Cassias kids will go to the Navigator house nevertheless.
>>725944094>to an extentThe extent is her literally taking your kid to brainwash him just like it happened to her. And if fixing someone is valid then you shouldn't have a problem with Arueshalae and Wenduag
>>725943720The Dark Eldar are "OW THE EDGE" personified, even moreso than the chaos factions. Which is what makes the Dark Eldar infinitely better as antagonists than the chaos fags. They are just more fun, pettier, have more interesting schemes and motivations and most importantly, look way fucking better than any chaos army does.
>>725944094Doesn't ADB's night lords trilogy have a navigator have a baby from a regular human and the baby is normal? They get taken and turned into a chaos marine but I'm pretty sure they were just a psyker.
>>725944287>have more interesting schemes and motivationslooooooooooooooooooooooool their motivations are always the same just as their schemes. In the end they are even more two dimensional than chaos. Chaos has characters working on shit that isn't always directed at the Imperium. Every single dark eldar plot is just "how do I get more people kidnapped to torture". Let's stop pretending they are anything besides that.
>>725944287I've heard they have a trilogy of books that are pretty good.
>>725944094>might be 3 eyed whichNo they can't, navigators won't pass their mutation if they don't have a child with another navigator>>725944174No way she would do that, especially since there's a probability that they may fucking kill him, the child would most likely remain in the care of the RT
>>725885747Finished a RT playthrough just before the 1.5 patch, no high hopes for DH as RT is still rather half baked and unfinished. Curious how they portray the Night Lords character, what with the continued popularity of the ADB trilogy.
>>725944549You have not read enough dark eldar stuff if that is what you think. Getting slaves to torture is just the way they sustain themselves, their actual motivations and ambitions are far more elaborate than raiding and enslaving. Shcemes and political ambitions to gain more power for themselves, vengeance for slights and millenia long vendettas, or just some estoteric artistry with what they do in the case of the haemonculus covens.For chaos faggots it always is just "ree the imperium must fall in the name of red/pink/green/blue god!">>725944724The dark eldar trilogy is easily one of the best series of 40k novels out there.
>>725945278>For chaos faggots it always is just "ree the imperium must fall in the name of red/pink/green/blue god!"Wrong. Chaos chuddies scheme much more than dark eldar. Even in video games we get scheming opportunists like Eliphas. While dark eldar "scheme" only in their army book description because they don't have anything going for them in lore.
>>725945523Chaos faggots are inherently lesser than the dark eldar because they are bound to service of the chaos gods, whereas the Dark Eldar are true egoists that serve themselves. Even the chaos faggot schemes always end up serving their gods somehow whereas dark eldar schemes are motivated by pure narcisistic desires.It is too bad that the writers of most bl novers are unironically brainlet chaosniggers that think that chaos is somehow deep or interesting part of 40k. Hardly surprising when the biggest one of those niggers just used the horus heresy novels to vent out his daddy issues.
>>725945878Honestly, you could just axe chaos entirely out of 40k and it would probably improve the setting. Basically all of the shit chaos factions do could be done by one or another of the various xenos or subversive factions within the imperium.
>>725945878>because they are bound to service of the chaos godsThe entire life of a dark eldar revolves around satisfying slaanesh. They aren't eaten because they give enough not because their ritual actually stops slaanesh from anything. They are the ULTIMATE cucks of the setting.
>>725946004>The Kabal of Prepping the Bull
>>725946004Surprising to hear that when the main human of the setting spends the whole time sitting on a golden cuck chair watching his children get fucked
>>725946004Well that, and the fact that theyre in the Webway
>>725945975>all of the shit (insert faction) do could be done by another factionYeah? Nothing ever happens is kind of the point of the setting as far as the writers are concerned.
>>725946363sly marbo has no time to sit on chairs
>>725946004By same logic you could say entire existence of humanity serves nurgle because we gotta eat and we produce shit.Any dark eldar, if they really wanted to, could stop the soul thirst shit for themselves and adopt the craftworld lifestyle. The soul drain is due to them behaving in ways that grants Slaanesh purchace on their soul, if a Craftworlder started to act like a deldar they too would start suffering from the thirst. The Dark Eldar deal with this via (arguably some level of copium involved in it) by replenishing themselves via the torture of lesser races. In their view, they are the ultimate predators of the setting. They do not serve slaanesh, slaanesh gets drip feed on their souls that hardly matters in the dark eldar mindset because each of them thinks that they are going to live forever and cheat she who thirsts out, and it does not matter how many lesser beings have to suffer in their stead.This fucked relationship towards the god that their ancestor's excess created also elevates the Dark Eldar above chaos niggers who voluntarily serve the evil gods and get fucking nothing in return for most cases.Dark Eldar are not servants of Slaanesh even though it is their very debauched way of life that created it, instead they basically go "fuck you satan, we'll keep doing what we like" out of spite and arrogance. Which is why it is even funnier when they actually do get got, because each deldar is genuinely delusional and arrogant enough to think that "it's never gonna happen to me!".I like how in rogue trader, some of the death dialogue of deldar enemies invokes Slaanesh getting them at that moment, shit like terrified "She's here!" screams etc.>tl;dr the Dark Eldar have far more interesting relationship with chaos than most actual chaos factions do.
>>725914552Why the fuck would GW say no to the Sister romance? The Ciaphus Cain books literally made it canon that they are allowed to have sex
>>725945278Black Library slop is not canon.
>>725946612Because GW doesn't want to pigeonhole the Sisters of Battle as the waifu faction.
>>725946170That's the job of Chaos Votann when Hashut crosses over
>>725946805It's more than they've had in the past decade
Im hoping they get the nigh lords right.Like having moral instead of momentum could work really well for the combat. Night lords should have some serious debuffs in that regard. Aurora was almost perfect, the intro during act 1 was a brilliant moment. https://youtu.be/zyUFl131aPo?si=p0lnjaUj3ECud_1X
>>725946607>the Dark Eldar have far more interesting relationship with chaos than most actual chaos factions do.Perhaps, but Dark Eldar don't have Primarchs which instantly makes them less interesting
>>725946805better than just being bloodbags for the grey knight's anti-demon wards
>>725946805GW doesn't want to do anything with Sisters at all.
>>725928856>>725928749Expanse sounds like the most boring Todd core sci fi setting.No Aliens, no dune weirdness what’s the point?
>>725947624How?running off into the sunset hand in hand with a SOB is not exactly grimdark.The only real potential for romance in 40k is tragedy.
>>725947458I cannot even imagine why anyone would find anything even remotely appealing about primarch shit. The only time they were any good was when we knew fucking nothing about them and they were just background characters and at best greater deamons of chaos. Novelizing Horus Heresy was a mistake and the start of the capeshittification of 40k.Primachs and space marines are easily the least interesting parts of 40k. They are basically fucking superheroes with little armies of superhero minimes running around, making every event they are involved in inherently less interesting had there been no spesh muhreen or primarch involvement.
>>725947828While it sounds rather plain from what little I've heard about it here, it sounds at bare minimum more interesting then fucking Starfield. And that it'll avoid that games problem since it's only Sol and not needing a thousand randomly generated planets.
>>725947883there is no sunset in w40k. they would simply run off toward another battlefield where death and heartbreak awaits them
>>725947919I think you can do interesting things with Marines and Primarchs, but as a whole they are the least interesting part since it's mostly bolter porn and daddy issues. The Horus Heresy novels were a mistake though, especially with so many writers working on them.
>>725948124>there is no sunset in w40k.Well certainly not in the Koronus Expanse, the deldar cunts keep stealing all the damn suns
>>725916552Why is the Eldar so popular? You can’t even bang her cause she’s so disgusted by you that she cannot bring herself to let you hit.Interspecies sex is a topic that Gay Workslop don’t want to touch with a 50 foot pole because their a bunch of faggots.
>>725947919>>725948195The depiction of Perturbois god awful in the books. He's either overlooked and misunderstood genius who shoots himself in the foot constantly, or a whining man child depending on the writer.Him not understanding soul Vs soulless is funny as shit though.
>>725947919>I cannot even imagine why anyone would find anything even remotely appealing about primarch shit.Because you're an assmad xenosfag trying to cope with your faction of choice becoming an NPC group by way of acting superior.If Drukhari were interesting they wouldn't have lost a quarter of their Codex this edition, meanwhile if Marines weren't interesting they wouldn't have just had spotlights shown on major Marine characters from each First Founding Chapter.Your faction is (rightfully) being pushed aside and you're combatting your despair with anger. Maybe a different setting would be better for you if you hate Marines, who are the core and driving faction of Warhammer.
>>725919082Owlcat popped off with the Pathfinder romances but dropped the ball hard with the RT ones.I wonder if it’s because Faggot Workshop had a say in it…
>>725948358>this is the inquisitorial acolyte I was telling you about
>>725948238Tbh the options less popular than her are>a fucking deldar>a mystery meat whore>femc only
>>725948238Because Eldar are popular in general so when they appear in a game, they tend to be popular. People liking Yrliet doesn't even have to be a romantic thing. I didn't romance her (I banged Cassia) and I still found her to be pretty ok as a companion, Marazhai however was far more fun.
>>725948443>Owlcat popped off with the Pathfinder romances
>>725948339>Constantly challenge regular ass human foster brother to contest you all know he can't possibly win>Challenge him to making a sculpture of a historical figure>You're one is technically flawless but his captures the very soul of the man and is declared the winner >Publicly congratulate him >Smash both statues that night in autistic rage, but ensure to reduce his one to dust while his you can still see the craftsmanship in it
>>725948195You can do somewhat interesting things with just marines, especially if the writer isn't just making bolter porn but the primarchs, who are supposed to be superhuman beings, are simply out of the capabilities of the fucking retards that write bl slop to write properly hence they end up moronic as characters. It would have been better had GW never made them a focus of any narrative.>>725948358What a retarded strawman. I dislike space marines and primarchs because they are uninteresting and dull both on conceptual and execution level. Their aesthetics are extremely samey across the board and their modus operandi is just the same everywhere, with maybe some doctrinal or cultural quirk to them. They detract from the other human factions within 40k with how much focus is placed on them, when factions like the Admech or even sisters of battle are far more interesting in terms of narratives you can make around them than the spesh muhreens are. All space marines boil down to is big dudes in big power armor killing shit with vague brotherhood bs and daddy issues to tag along with them, with maybe some hackey cultural tropes as well like we see in space wolves etc.I don't even need to go further on chaos space marines because the same issues that regular space marines have are true for them, just with their aesthetics being even worse than regular marines.
>>725911973Ask the other anon, I don't read the ork books, only the Eisenhorn and Gaunt's Ghosts ones, I just went by what he implied
>>725949430Hate that Abnett became such a faggot. He's not on ADB level but he did shit like Erda and now the King in Yellow.
>>725949909>shit like Erda and now the King in Yellow.qrd?
>>725949430The beast arises series didnt have silly Orks. They were taken quite seriously. The books themselves were very hit or miss.
>>725921771There’s literally a scene in the Ciaphus Cain books where Cain walks in on a Sister getting fucked by some rando you retard.
