You killed a black person and you're asking if that was a mistake?

That portrait is embarrassingly low quality

It's obviously insane to keep her around, but that Pain Channeling talent is sick as fuck.

>>740722690
I feel like the devs gave her all these negative traits and made her a horrific danger to those around her, but expected you to not do anything because she was black.
The BLM mindrot of that era was insane. Glad that's mostly behind us.

That entire level was insane as fuck. Haven't been so immersed in a game in ages. But I genuinely like play RPG games through the smart way, at least the first time. I felt like if I didn't kill her I was being an idiot.

>>740722509
Your mistake was letting her jeopardize your emperor-given mission more than once.

>>740722509
No anon, you did the right thing. There is a reason people in 40k hate psykers

She never actually loses control and she actively warns you on critical shit and ambushes if she's in your party. It's one of the few times where Owlcat actually made their retardedly-illegal party member ACTUALLY be worth what they narrative says she's worth.

>>740722509
>Did I do the wrong thing?
the Imperium kills people for less, so no

>>740723310
>She never actually loses control
That's not a good thing, you can't have the narrative make such a big deal about unsanctioned psykers only for it to not end up mattering
>warns you on critical shit and ambushes if she's in your party
And this is just a meme I'm tired of seeing repeated, it barely happens a few times and then it's mostly forgotten after Footfall, just like Abelard saying his meme phrase or Cassia detecting lies

>>740722509
Bro she's a cute autist just forgive her and move on. Bleach her and teach her.

>>740722509
It's up to you bro, she doesn't really change much in the game, the unique items/questline she unlocks isn't great unless you're actively using her in your party, at which point she becomes a walking nuclear weapon.
That said, having her in your party before that, every time someone tries to fuck with you, trick you, or otherwise make you walk into a trap, she calls it out or reveals a secret solution, so you do miss out on having that option (and that's why the previous Rogue Trader kept her around).

>>740722826
Her builds are crazy strong.

>>740722902
I think they did it for the same reason they had the Eldar bitch and Dark Eldar bitch be so shit.
They know how fags are about companions, so by making companions who you have every RP reason to throw out, they test how much you go with immersion versus "but I might miss content abloo bloo..."

>>740723138
It's fine really though personally I kept her because I suspected she and Argenta would have special unlocks if I kept both of them in my party consistently, and was very satisfied with the result.

>>740723310
>>740723432
If you use her for the DLC mission that needs a psyker she permanently dies and fucks up the mission by exploding.

>>740723621
lmao which one, I'll keep her alive longer than usual in my next playthrough just to see this

>>740723621
Which one? You mean the channeling the spirits one? She doesn't permanently die nor botch the quest. She just dies in the battle and summons extra enemies. And she did tell you she did not want to do it. You can even bring the actual chaos bitch from the slaneesh cult and she will do it.

If they didn't expect you to kill her they wouldn't have given the option, surely. She's a dangerous fuckup mostly because that's the setting. Every companion is a liability in some way, from Abelard's "discipline" creating revolts in the lower decks, Argenta and the Inquisitor answering to other authorities than your own, all the way to the actively scheming space elves. You can kill off or not recruit pretty much all of them.

That's fine, you could also just be her class yourself. But the argument is that she isn't THAT powerful, and both narratively/dialogue choices-wise she is and gameplay wise she is also by far one of the best characters.
Anything else is perfectly fine, I am just saying that measuring her by her UTILITY, she is in fact accurate to what they will you about her.

>>740724817

She fucks up exactly once and for entirely understandable reasons. Granted, the most reasonable stance there would be to shoot her.

I got argenta to shoot her in da head

Human life is utterly and completely worthless in 40k. What do you even care about here? Her demon was a complete nothingburger. She could kill far more innocent workers and it would still mean nothing, it would still be utterly irrelevant because she is a Diviner Psyker, so inherently more valuable than them, no matter what. You call replace this cattle at any time, you can't a Psyker like this

All of your companions are mass murderers killing innocents en masse
Your Darkest Hours are similar to what she does. In fact one for Psyker MC is identical
Innocents die every warp travel, with your Enforcers murdering people just in case all the time
You kill innocents during your playthrough constantly
The way you rule is intentionally far more cruel than anything she ever did accidentally

Idira hate is such a weird nothingburger. Dogmachud in particular would understand that she is more important. And she has better augments generic Psyker would have anyway.

Unless you're chaosmaxxing I can't imagine why would you not kill her right away, it's like having genestealer cult or heketek companion, it's more sane to have an actual chaos cultist in your crew because there is 1/4 chance he will stay "loyal" as long you keep getting in fights.

which choice does your moralfag RT picks for this planet? You HAVE to pick one of them.
Do you force people into hunger games so they kill each other, to select the best warriors out of them?
Or maybe you simply throw them into an arena for the sake of it so fat and degenerate nobles can have fun watching them kill each other?
Or maybe you simply send them to death in the explosive mines

>>740735106
>heretek

Those have much less chance of being actively dangerous as it's a label that the ad mech applies to any tech priest that stays "too far" from orthodox tech priest practices. Belisarius Cawl for instance has a bunch of his peers applying that label to him.

>>740722509
I hate her voice acting & portrait but her quest-line is narratively consistent, and I like how she warns about ambushes early in the game. Mechanically, there’s no reason to keep her in the party after the beginning of Act 2 (unless Heretical conviction is your main, causing mechanics like veil degradation & perils to become inconsequential), as Cass is the superior psyker.

>>740722509

The slippery slope is a fact of the universe. Trying to figure out scientific principals for yourself without climbing the ranks of the mystery cult leads directly to tying to make self replicating terminators and binding demons into their guns.

>>740736763
Her higher level divination powers are broken (full resurrection of downed party members, abilities that cause most ranged attacks to miss your squad), and she gets several unique items specific to her because she’s the only unsanctioned psyker companion in the game. Her utility is largely defensive, though, and by the time you get late enough in the game to unlock her most powerful abilities then you might not even get a chance to use them if you’ve geared a character who can nuke everything in a single round.

>>740723138
She's a psychic that can/does warn you of incoming danger. Of course that doesnt matter in a scripted video game, but if you were being practical, shes not really any more a liability than your on-board sister of battle. If I were suddenly thrust into a position like the RT and knew that everyone from chaos cultists to other RTs were out to take me down before I could find my footing in the new role, I'd be willing to keep her around as a coal mine canary if nothing else.
>b-but she accidentally killed some crew!

>>740737439
>shes not really any more a liability than your on-board sister of battle
Right right, the UNSANCIONTED PSYKER isn't more of a liability than Argenta, yes
Let me guess, Yrliet isn't that bad either for what she did on Cumrag

Idira should have accidentally almost killed you. That would be a far better reason int eh context of 40k to get rid of her as opposed to "well, some lteirally whos died". Literally whos die every time you make a warp jump - I don't hear anyone crying about it

You messed up not giving her to your inquisitor bro. J

>>740737679
Idira isnt the one that ignored rank and killed the prior lord captain and lied about it/concealed it. Argenta is only loyal to the emperor and would ice the RT in a heartbeat for a perceived blasphemy. Idira is only loyal to the RT and owes her continued existence to the dynasty. In terms of combat ability, the teams SoB doesnt even come equipped with power armor; it's obvious which one is more powerful (in lore).

Don't be obtuse. You can straight up do heretical actions for half the game infront of her and she doesnt blink because the developers made a game mechanic choice. Don't conflate or confuse that with her character and her actions as written. She killed Theodora for an offense several orders of magnitude less than what the RT is capable of choosing to do.

Yea, I agree there should have been more, but I get why the devs didn't. They'd probably get more complaints than thanks if Argenta and Heinrich went full aggro the second you deviated from imperial creed. By letting them be mostly chill with it until you lock in full chaos commitment, more players get to use them and see their content, and less players get frustrated because their party members are flipping out and leaving the party.

WHAT, it's been a year at least but I got to the first boss of the first dungeon. He had like 27 hit points, my guys were shooting him for like 3-4 dmg and he was hitting me for 8-9, which was over half of their hp. You probably played some recently patched easy version.

Were you giving Tervantias all the random body parts you could collect in Commorragh? I think you had to trade him those to get Ulfar and get your teammates patched up.

She kinda rides the line of useful/liability alongside marzipan, although to her credit both her non-forced quest endings leans her firmly in useful. Granted I do sympathize with her crash out and depression but when her crashing out can get us all killed that puts her on a tight leash. One major fuckup is kind of my limit here but thats because I'm a bleeding heart who even forgave tristian no questions asked.

Maraz's maleficence is only natural for his race and therefore less distasteful than betrayal.

I wonder how you could rewrite Yrliet's story to be less stupid. Her betrayal makes sense if you're neutral/mean to her and trigger a "bad" flag like keeping the Eldar skull, but why does the Cumrag kidnapping play out the same way even when you're trying to be understanding? You could even have the scene be mostly the same but remove Yrliet's involvement with it and have it trigger in a different system for people on the xenofucker route.

>>740756367
Yeah she's the sort of character who has to be either conventionally attractive or have charismatic voice acting, or preferably both, to work as a lovable scamp like the writer intended.

>>740756367
She's also a fucking traitor to the IG and I shoot her in the face immediately when I LARP as an ex-commissar.

>>740756367
Neither really bothered me. Typically, I just don't care much for her type of character, and Jae wasn't an exception to that.

>>740756569
Just have some throwaway npc do it instead if her loyalty is above a certain threshold. Simple.

>>740756801
We aready have the npc, achilleas does it if Yrliet is dead.

>>740756569
It's pretty easy like you and >>740756801 said.

Sounds like you have zero confidence in your ability to face the Emperor's toughest battles.
A coward gets rid of her to reduce their exposure to risk.
A gigachad says fuck it, let it rip. If she opens a portal to hell in your ship, then that's just more evil to smite for the sake of good.

Chaos is never good. Even if you kill i trillion daemon you did fuck all to slow or deplete them. Meanwhiles, resdources such as ammo and lives were spent.

Can you romance Idra? I've never tried because I'm allergic to chocolate.

>>740757860
This, even if you were in doubt at the moment of Argenta's confession (but why the fuck would you be, if you found out about the cult on Janus then obviously Theodora knew about them too), they just keep piling on evidence that your predecessor was courting chaos after your escape.

>>740722509
I let Argenta purge her. It was the right decision.

>>740757987
>Fighting anything from chaos means someone already fucked up and fixing it gonna cost an arm and a leg
Except when it's funny, like calling up dozens of angry priests from the Ministorum to shout curses at demons through a warp possessed vox speaker until they drop dead from exhaustion/warp fuckery.

>>740757617
It sounds funny in video game logic, but risking chaos exposure to your ship full of ignorant and unrest workers sound like a total nightmare in universe

Is there an actual difference betwee Sanctioned and Unsanctioned Psykers in the lore beyond "the Imperium says Sanctioned ones are ok"? Have Sanctioned ones been conditioned to not fuck up everything by accident at the first opportunity, or is another aspect of Heinrix being incredibly competent at his job? I know little about 40k beyond this game and DoW.

Sanctioned psykers have training to not get possessed by daemons and to be able to use their powers without blowing up their own allies, however, in actual practice, they're still very unreliable. For no particular reason, space marine psykers (called Librarians) are much more reliable and almost never have these problems.

>>740758597
sanctioned pskers are significantly less likely to cause a horrific warp accident, like summoning a demon or their head popping like an overfilled balloon.
Although it can still happen anyway. But it's like the difference between a toddler with an armed bazooka vs a trained soldier with a slightly smaller bazooka.

>>740732304
I hope you killed her traitorous master as well.

>>740758878
>For no particular reason
Because Librarians are genetically enhanced supersoldiers taught to have complete mastery of mental discipline (unless you're a traitor, in which case you WANT warp shit everywhere).
The reality is normal humans just weren't designed for having access to the warp safely. The Eldar are a race where EVERYONE is a psyker and yet it took thousands of years of them murderraping for it to cause a warp problem

>>740758597
Sanctioned psykers will have been collected by a Black Ship (Usually) and taken to Terra to under go a ton of rituals and trials to determine just how dangerous/useful they are. If they are not powerful enough/too dangerous to warrant training they get sent to be sacrificed to big E to power the psychic lighthouse. If they are more powerful they get examined and trained further to determine just how strong they can eventually be. The less powerful, but still useful psykers get turned into glorified phonelines and become Astropaths. More powerful psykers will become your generic "sanctioned psyker" These typically get sent to guard regiments to fight on the frontlines or recruited by whoever is around and needs someone who can throw fireballs/mindrape people/see the future. Now by becoming a sanctioned psyker you undergo years of training to control your powers without having your head explode, you can also get implants and such to help with this. The biggest thing is sanctioned psykers under go "Soul-Binding" to the Emperor. Pretty much having a piece of the emperors soul put into you to better control and use your powers.

Unsanctioned psykers skip all of the above, whether that be because they avoided getting caught by a black ship, Or their powers developed later in life. By not being sanctioned they avoided all the testing to determine if they were safe enough to keep alive by the imperium. So their powers can be incredibly minor, or incredibly powerful. The problem is that they also never received the training provided to sanctioned psykers. So their own understanding of their power can be very limited. They also have to rely entirely on their own willpower and abilities without the Soul-Binding provided to help control their powers. This makes them far more likely to explode into a portal to hell when they use their powers. As such all unsanctioned psykers are criminals by existing. Though they can still be useful, so sometimes they are kept around

Ngl, I almost never used idira in actual missions. Nothing against her but when I have only 6 slots and 5 of them are automatically taken up by

>Pascal (because he's the skill bitch who is there to open locks and examine things)

No, having Argenta paint the walls with her brains is practically canon. There's absolutely no reason not to do it.

I just love the staff chain lightning power. And then there's a talent that causes more splash damage. The game is very satisfying honestly.

If it's an alien, I kill it.
If it's a human, I use it.
I like not thinking.

I've never been able to pin down if Owlcat are actually cucks or secretly subversive, they go both ways. And this is one of those moments.

Kinda like in CP2077 where they had a faction entirely of Haitians and then made them such unlikable, traitorous dipshits that the entire community kills them on sight.

For my next run I'm wondering if I should kill Yrielet after Commouragh. Marazhai is definitely getting killed as soon as I'm out, fuck that guy.

Rogue Traders operate in a grey area for Inquistors. Inquistors have the right to command them (at their own peril) but technically speaking the warrant of trade gives Rogue Trades the ability to have whoever they want in their retinue.

Most Inquistors let it slide because having an extremely powerful politically independent ally who can circumvent red tape on a whim is useful.

Heinrix doesn't have the authority to kill anyone in your crew because his boss didn't give it to him.

I was so stupidly OP.

The hardest fight I think technically was Edge of Daybreak because for some reason I was doing fuck all damage to him. Took 15 turns of me wailing on him

The difficulty falloff is why benched Pascal. I made him a strategist or whatever and got tired of setting the zones every fight.

Yes. The methods of training are grimderp and include lobotomies (though probably not for main characters like Heinrix) but is entirely justified because of how dangerous being a psyker is even if you are somehow immune to the taint of the warp.
Unfortunately most game systems that explore this problem (Dark Heresy) basically say you're one dice roll away from casting force push on a pebble and your character, and everyone around your character, dying from being turned inside out.

Don't involve her in the kidnapping? It's completely unwarranted and isn't even supported by the game (Achilleas still standing in the grand hall in Act3 while he's supposed to be dead). And would realistically be as easy to prevent as telling her "Nah, Yrliet, I don't give a shit about your dead elves anymore. All your previous leads turned out to be duds, and I got literally nothing out of it. You wanna go check that place out - do it on your own time"

Ok playing beta Dark Heresy and its pretty good, have bigger potential than RG, but damn I hope we can become full blown Inqusitor because some of this naggas man, they need to meet by big rosette zesty bucks.

They are weak ass sissises. Humanity could have managed the same in a weekend

How was the DLC with the pet class? I haven't played since Kibellah and I completely forgot it was coming out. Kinda wanna start a new playthrough now but there's no point not waiting until the DLC

To quote one of my favourite opera's

>Everybody does that

>>740777774
You get to play space cop for a couple missions and the pet class itself is pretty good. It almost feels like you're in a buddy cop movie for a little while.

So the next DLC is basically
>new companion
>new story
>augments
That's it? Still haven't played the previous DLC, so I'd have a good amount of content. Can't say I'm too stoked tho about the companions and augment shit

Dayum Imperial gurls look like dis?
Screw Tau and Eldar

I have been thinking of buying Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Does it also have the same issue of being comically easy even on the hardest difficulty? That was my biggest issue with Rogue Trader.

>Does it also have the same issue of being comically easy even on the hardest difficulty?
No, it has the opposite issue.

>>740779926
no
it has the issue of needing to spend 2 minutes buffing after each long rest

I see the achievements for the new DLC are up on steam, so it gives small spoilers. Anyone datafarmed anything?
