I didn't want to op with it but this is just depressing, story scripted moment in act 2 and its got that number? Doesn't this mean that only 1% of players are actually playing the DLC atm?

>>741328583

I'm going to open with scout squadx2, 1 more servitor, send the first servitor to build a chapel barracks before breaking off to start a power generator as the second servitor finishes building. Once the barracks is complete start training a force commander, begin research on sniper training for the scouts, and reinforce 1 of the scout squads. If I haven't already made contact with the enemy, build another 1-2 scout squads and start upgrading the existing squads with sniper rifles. Tech to T2, put down a Machine Cult, and spam land speeders until I reach critical mass of 4 and go for the win right there.

>>741328583
I'll replay it when the last dlc is out.

Commissar or Arbitrator for an Officer?

>>741331340
Its just fluff isn't it? I played a commissar soldier and I didn't really find many of the talents that useful, arbitrator being dlc its probably more broken

Game where I can play as a phaeron of a necron dynasty? Ever since Warpforge died I haven't been able to scratch the itch.

bump

I want the Grim Darkness reward because I'm a stupid completitionist but I don't want to A. risk wasting 50 hours of progress because of a failed 96% roll that instantly kills me or B. play on Story/Normal like a toddler or game journalist
So now I'm debating going forward with my Grim Darkness Daring Iconoclast Navy Officer Warrior or doing something actually fun, like full Dogmatic Commissar

>>741332360
Closest you get right now is Mechanicus 2 where your viewpoint character for the necron campaign is a vargard. Also Battlefleet Gothic:Armada 2 which has you play an overlord, though in BFA2 you eventually become a phaeron.

I'm waiting for my mods to not be broken.

>>741335449
Honestly? The rewards just aren't there. Its a long game and if I do a permadeath mode I need to actually concentrate for the entire game every time there's a combat, also the space ship battles are too dicey honestly.

>>741335449
Be prepared to cheat. Not because the game is hard but because the game will inevitably bug out in some way and you can't just go back to an earlier save in an ironman mode so toybox will have to be used to force progress. Happened no less than 3 times for me.

I refuse to replay the game until I'm sure all the DLCs are actually out and discounted and then I'll pirate it. Fuck you for selling me a season pass and then coming out with a second one.

>>741336887
Its complex, kind of, on the one hand they're remembering their roots and still have a fair bit of organic support, for example I preordered a founders pack for dark heresy and I don't mind doing that because I want it to be developed with a free hand, I want it to be the game it can be so I don't mind paying up front and helping with development.

On the other hand they're a pretty sizeable company now and they really need to be able to stand on their own two feet. Cashing in on people's good will with 4 expansions is a little much. I have literally no interest in The Expanse for example so trying to move on from the fans who actually supported you could backfire pretty hard.

I'm feeling brave. Dual wield shotguns.

I don't actually see what they were going for with that one. Its meant to be like mass effect isn't it? Just make your own mass effect ip, the expanse is shit, its a closed circle, everything that could have been explored within that setting has been done, I will admit that the novella, Drive I think, is an amazing audiobook

Commissar is the only Origin I have not tried at all.
Anything interesting to do with it besides officer encouraging people with his pistol?

When I got to THAT moment in the dlc 3 I just whispered "holy kino..."

Are some of the achievements in the new DLC bugged? I don't care that much, but I see there's an achievement for killing the Eldar ship above the world of the new colony when you come back and it didn't come up after I killed them. Yes, I'm playing above daring difficulty. Or is there another Eldar ship later?

>>741341507
any cool ideas on how to kill her? I'm in Act2 and keeping her alive so I can leave her in Commoragh.
I'm thinking on starting her companion questjust to fuck her over

In principle, the design of Idira is moronic. Anyone knowing 40k would shoot her, and anyone not knowing 40k would shoot her.
Only heretical psychopaths would keep her to watch what happens if you drop a hand grenade in a kindergarten. It's like the nuke in Fallout 3: blowing it up is retarded evil with no real payoff but being "le hecking Reddit-evil". Same with keeping Idira, just fucking irresponsible heretical nonsense. She doesn't even have an explosive collar!

>>741344981
obligatory owlcat time wasting minigame
its better than pseudo homm tho

hows dogmatic/heretic? I wanna pick the ruthless heretic options but not the retarded "worship chaos next to the inquisitor" ones

>>741341518
>>741341710
What the fuck even is the Expanse? I know people were obsessing over it for like 2 years and then it vanished.

>>741345574
Heretic playthroughs always (at least back when I did one) want to go full heretic, or else you miss the breakpoints you need for the extra quest line you unlock.
I've heard they made it more lenient, but idk.

>>741345674
Basically a popular science fiction novel that already got adapted into a tv series. The main conflict is the brewing tension between the Belter (people who live and work mining asteroids) and the central government of Earth and Mars

>>741345574
Dogmatic is great, lots of options.

Heretic is shit, most of the Heretic items fucking suck, you lose a lot of retinue to gain a word bearer extremely late in the game. Might be worth just to see the extra content they added for it, but I remember feeling like it was a waste of time last time I did it.

You can't even fuck the governor of Janus for going heretic.

No, sorry hahahaha, don't care for your grimdark slop. I'm saving my friends with the power of friendship and if you don't like it I have an emperor given license to be nice.

>>741345867
Is it from the perspective of
>Us rugged laborers know what REAL living is like, unlike those bureaucrats wanting to control everything!
or
>Us laborers are a COMMUNITY and CARE FOR EACH OTHER and need to unionize against the abusive corrupt capitalist government!
Or did they actually manage something more nuanced?

>>741345574
>>741345742
If you do play as a Heretic, don't pick the dialogue option to trash that one colony with the monks. It's a lot of points but you won't need them in the grand scheme of things. There will be better opportunities to increase your devotion later on. Most heretic gear is also meant for psykers, so either play as one or keep Idira close by. Heinrix, Argenta, and Yrliet will undo some of your choices. You might not want them in your party and later on the game will make this decision for you lol

>>741346502
Oh right, forgot about that one.
I enjoyed there's a special gun you get for getting that planet to high level as a heretic, where you lure a priest there and then kill him.

>>741346267
The books are a mystery series, basically the tension between the 2 groups are the backdrop while a secret conspiracy is brewing in the background and the space truckers crew that got stuck in the middle of these world-changing event. Also human first contact with aliens and how that changed humanity. It's more people vs corporation since the main antagonist of the books aren't the government but the corporation that exploid the Belters while testing dangerous weapons.

Snowniggers are dumb niggers? How could this be?
Protop: Vikings are also angry violent apes, and should suffer the same disdain niggers do. You will not find a violent neanderthal more dimwitted and ugly than the man who thinks vikings are cool.

What's with this hate of expansions? Even old CRPGs like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 had expansions. Small scale DLC that is overpriced is one thing. Day 1 DLC/expansions, something that was obviously already in game? I can understand the hate there. But making more content for a game that you enjoy seems like nothing but a win.

Voidborn, noble, officer/tactitian. Take the perk that uses INT instead of FEL and dump all your points into INT and do whatever you like with the rest. Awaken unsanctioned diviner when you hit Exemplar and pick the power that boosts INT for maximum buffing. Use your officer desperate measures with nk downside because it halves your FEL which you dont use now. Use the necklece piece that gives you 5 willpower everytime you buff someone for infinite willpower. Make your party unstoppable

>>741345742
Is it really that tight? Never done a heretic run but I remember after kibbels' DLC came out iconoclast 5 became lenient like IIRC I ended with Icono 5, Dogmatic 2 and Heretic 1 with no decisions I felt forced into taking(Blew up rykard minoris, killed all the genestealers, etc...)

Should I join the blood cult on my ship?

>>741354520
After my first run I try to spare him from Act 3. Like yeah everyone suffers there but seeing him so broken just hurt too much

Why can't Yrliet be like one of those cool corsair Eldar?

>>741355523
On launch you had about ~5 points of wiggle room if you didn't blowup Foulstone.
From what I have read you can get to Heretic 5 easily now.
The big thing is being high enough for the secret quest in cumrag.

How do I make dw pistols work?
Soldier into arch militant for mobility or bounty hunter for extra turns?
How does full tactical knowledge stacking Operative/Bounty hunter sounds with the analyze buff update?

I wish this game was challenging, I'm playing on unfair but it feels like I'm playing on 'easy; and still wiping the floor with everything and im not purposely making broken builds or anything, just going by the seat of my pants.

Shame the difficulty is so fucked and they wont fix it since they haven't by now. At least WOTR had some challenge to it on core and unfair.

You assume that most of the people that hate her do so because she doesn't put out. No, I wouldn't want to fuck her even if she did put out because I don't like her

She's retarded, she betrays you and doesn't even feel bad about it, and she won't fuck you. There's plenty of reasons to hate her, she doesn't even have any interesting parts in the stories or quests, extremely forgettable character just like Jae.

Really nigga? He's the most obvious traitor ever

>>741358931
nta but I don't know if he was added since the first time i played the game it had that dlc

it also caught me off guard since i didn't suspect him at all but i wonder if knowing he was added to the dlc would have ruined it because i would know he had something to do with it, so im glad i got to experience it that way

also it's extremely stupid that iconoclast gets an option to let them go and drop them off on another planet lmao

always say he was so obvious because they knew he was part of it for being part of the dlc

>>741359456
He's not the only NPC added by the DLC, he's obviously a traitor because he's walking pity bait, always nice, always helping you, the friendliest guy ever who's always suspiciously there even though his job is just to put out fires, he's a walking redflag and you have to be very naive to not realize
I found it so obvious that for a moment I actually thought that maybe he was legit, simply because it was SO obvious that I thought Owlcat intended to subvert expectations by making the nice guy an actual nice guy, but of course that wasn't the case

I can't believe the Choirmaster is like 35

>>741359619
who isn't always nice to the rogue trader on the voidship then? literally everyone on the voidship will suck your dick if asked, that;'s such a stupid reasoning. he makes pleas to help his family and other shit, nothing he did was obvious

i feel like they hid the fact rather well and even at the end he wasn't even that obvious of a backstabber

only shitty part is you never got to kill him yourself

Even if I did see it coming I still felt betrayed, it does feel like there was rapport built even if you don't take the flirtation options. That said he really was just always in the right place at the right time and I kinda expected him to turn on me during the crypt fight. When he didn't I let my guard down and I guess thats why I got blind-sided

That is not how warhammer deamons work. They aren't beings with any actual self agency. They cannot be redeemed or even really viewed as sapient beings. They are extensions and fragments of the will of the gods they serve and have no existence without their gods.

Argenta MT blasted all his forms since she has 100% hit change anyways even without buffs while Trazyn refreshes his debuffs on every form
Only the 1st form matters because it's the only one that cucks you through Extra Turns
You can then also fall prey to dialogue after the last form he opens a portal for you to leave but it's a trap, I made an Awareness check and said no thoughbeit

>>741359753
There is a difference between being polite and being almost a parody of a saint. Literally rule of thumb in 40k, if they seem to good/nice to be true, they are. The betrayal of the original high priest was obvious for the same reason.
The only people who would realistically be fooled by this are people who genuinely have never interacted with 40k in any capacity before and who don't know what Genestealers are.

>>741369369
This is also why everyone knew the military parade was the end of chapter 1, because military parades in 40k almost always involve bad things happening.

The very second time I had Idira cast anything (in an ambush soon after landing on the planet with the cult of last dawn) she knocked herself out AND summoned a Horror.
When she had the episode and fucked up part of the ship with demons I had Argenta put a bullet in her the moment we got there.

>>741373747
Augments are fun, Eosgun is a surprisingly fun addition and different enough tech priest and just the seething he causes Pasqal is a good enough dynamic, and the relevant quests with Trazyn are pretty good.

It avoided the pitfalls of Lex, so slightly better than that.
Only drawback is lack of new origin/archetype, I guess

Kingmaker was funny since if you entered House at the end of Fun, the game loaded much faster since it stopped trying to recall the state of every single map and item before that.

Yeah, Unity. Not saying Owlcat incompetence isn't also partially to blame, but Unity is just a complete shitshow of an engine.

No it's not Unity, there's plenty of games where Unity runs completely fine for long periods.

It's not the same as say Unreal Engine where you find the same problems across multiple games. It's literally the stupid russian retards that probably made the first rendition of their game and kingmaker and keep modifying it from that because the original team is gone and they can't fix it or some shit.
