I replayed Bloodlines a few months ago. Been a while since the last time so I went with Malkavian for something I've maybe played once before. 10/10 game. The thing that stands out when you play it, beyond the obvious perfect atmosphere and fun overpowered abilities is how clever it is. It is also both self-aware (this sort of thing played entirely straight is awful) and legitimately creepy at the same time. The dialogue and writing is smart, especially if you compare it to contemporary games, like Kotor, which are infantile by comparison.
Obfuscate is busted.

Well, I finished catching up with everyone afterwords, and it was good.

I will miss this game. I'm looking forward to trying out whatever the additional thing is, but I'm considering the main game concluded, and it was one of the most satisfying games I've played in a long time. 9/10 for sure.

Random points:
- I didn't mind the lack of voice acting, but some people might. Not having it probably led to them being able to go a little more crazy with the amount of dialogue and branching/conditional.
- There's a lot of reading, but a lot of it is optional. I like reading so this was very good for me. The writing was good, and somewhat-often the feeling that it was accounting for something you said or did.
- At first I thought the money we were making was for everyone and didn't like that I couldn't see the crew's equipment, but there's not enough money for it, and their equipment upgrades over time anyhow. So you are meant to just shop for yourself.
- The Shadowrun system has some big flaws imo. There was almost no reason whatsoever for me to invest in anything other than Charisma, and in that menu to get each row as high as possible. This feels like bad design because then why give me the options? Likely different in tabletop, where you might have need of more diverse skills.
- I often forgot the details of a mission since I'd accept all available ones, and you can only find it on the mission computer, which was annoying a few times.
- I think I once got a message from Strangler Bao about "Forget it, I'll do it" ? So maybe I took too long on a mission, but none seemed to be time sensitive.
- The decker stuff I didn't need to have at all, not really enjoyable.
- Combat was very easy even on Hard, felt a bit lame coming off of JA3 but I still enjoyed it
- Great characters

That's how it works yes you pick an archetype and you invest in it mostly, you just chose to play shaman

That's you getting maximum law killed btw, he does tell you to deal with it fast (by he I mean bao) but in reality the trigger is giving him info, you can "save" info to give it to him all in one go so the quest triggers after you got more cash, it's a bit silly like that but on a regular playthrough you wouldn't know, you'd just see it as the natural progression of slowly giving him info and him being very open with it online because he doesn't understand the shadowrun internet
>>
>>543727868
>>543728721
Oh and adding onto this, tabletop also has the moneygating that this game has apparently, I read a lot of stuff about shadowrun after playing hongkong and I saw this topic come up a lot when it comes to double dipping as both a hacker and a rigger, the issue being the price.
The rigger book was really fun to read btw I read some handbooks for the actual game, it has a lot of cool little lore bits (more like lore texts since they're anything but short, i recommend it just for fun)
Cool ass universe

If you like the setting I'd pirate bloodlines 2, it's not that good and it's also not a sequel to bloodlines 1 outside of in the name (it's not an RPG) but it's cool-ish if you like the VTM world and don't mind a 5-6/10 game

>That's how it works yes you pick an archetype and you invest in it mostly
Well sure, but that's not a very good defense of it. Might as well just say "You got a level and your Cha/conjure stuff went up." I spent a bit of karma early on Quickness and Pistols that was a total waste, really. I'm not one to minmax or something by any means, but just picking your lane and sticking in it completely feels a bit bad. There should be more synergy between traits and milestones. There is a little. For example you need high Quickness to use the highest version of Haste. And Quickness relates to dodging, and Body relates to HP which everyone can use... But over-all, not my favorite system I've ever used. Maybe better in tabletop.

>>543729240
It is a cool universe, the handbooks sound enjoyable.

>>543730159
At least half of what you have here is exaggeration that makes it come across as disingenuous. If you're finding yourself needing to save scum so much, maybe turn the difficulty down.

>I find combat basically impossible when you're facing 2+ enemies without cheesing it somehow. There doesn't seem to be a block at all, just a dodge, and the 'parry' is some gay thing where you dodge into people. The Tremere disciplines are actually pretty decent minus the teleport, but their use is so limited, you really just have to feed constantly. When I first saw the abilities screen I thought they at least added some more nuance to disciplines, but then I realized each track is just a clan's one discipline, so everyone just ends up with the same character anyways. That's really gay and lame. Same with character customization, it's really just some makeup and one of four hair styles but in multiple colors, I thought they'd go a little more in depth with it. Feeding seems like kind of a chore, I don't see any way to really lure anyone anywhere, and every alley seems to have a kissing couple and 3+ hobos looking at each other, it really seems like you're just meant to feed in combat constantly.

Yes, if only because there is basically no competition to FTL. I expected for it to be a quick cash grab, but devs keep updating it constantly adding new content.

For DH hey're going to replace Argenta with a dour and grumpy middle aged sister and make her romancable. They'll expect you to be happy with this.
Yrliet will be replaced with a friendly and inquisitive harlequin female who is pretty new at her job and is interested in learning about you and the human way of life. She tries to talk in rhyme but gets confused easily so she gives up. She will make romantic advances but your character will always reject her.

they really aren't tbqh. a swarm of aliens that belong to a hivemind from beyond the galaxy and which interacts with the warp in a very different way than the rest of the races > cultists worshipping them
the genestealers could've been an insurrection from within the own empire due to how fucking dogshit life in the imperium is and little would change. you can't really say the same for the nids, they are entirely their own thing and the one race that actually feels ALIEN in this scifi setting.

i will agree the genestealer encounter in the base was one of the cooler ones though. a bit less so on my second run because i was basically making it retreat every turn and just walking towards the exit, but still.

Genestealers are an an enjoyable metaphor for useful idiots who are driven into revolution by outsiders who see them as tools. It makes it that much more interesting to know that they're going to be eaten along with all the rest. Bugs from space by themselves are just bugs from space. But their interaction with their human dupes is interesting.

I'm doing a replay of rogue trader after the recent patch.

bg3 is good. it doesn't "shit on" prior games except for Viconia for some strange reason. Not sure why they screwed her over. Jaheira and Minsc were treated fine so idk what happened there.

I'm also waiting on new arc line, dark heresy, whatever larian is doing, solasta2, zero company, the expanse, and afterlight, so there are some upcoming ones that look fun too.

exactly what i fucking meant. that has been the most basic bitch overdone plot ever if you've watched any sort of american media within the last half a century, perhaps even longer really. fucking FTL stood out (storywise) to people because you were actually playing the regimen rather than the revolutionaries. imagine how fucking done to death it must be for that to be the case

Is BG3 done with content patches, is the game complete now?
>>
>>543755401
that's the baseline of the plot, buncha weirdos got sent out to make first contact with aliens and see what's up. the meta reason as to why every character in the book has something wrong with them is because the book is trying to make the point that all consciousness is is just training wheels to learn shit and overindulging in it is a weakness of the human mind, not a benefit.
the aliens, who'd you normally call a swarm of locusts, are nonconscious and due to this extremely intelligent. everything they do is on instinct, they have a very complex external simulation of the world but basically a nonexistant internal version of themselves. The vampires are used to demostrate what a human with a way lower degree of conciousness can be able to archieve, and in the end it doesn't matter because it was just the ship using him to give orders to the humans since they'd rather take them from a hyper predator that they're genetically obliged to fear rather than an unthinking machine.

>Evolution has no foresight. Complex machinery develops its own agendas. Brains—cheat. Feedback loops evolve to promote stable heartbeats and then stumble upon the temptation of rhythm and music. The rush evoked by fractal imagery, the algorithms used for habitat selection, metastasize into art. Thrills that once had to be earned in increments of fitness can now be had from pointless introspection. Aesthetics rise unbidden from a trillion dopamine receptors, and the system moves beyond modeling the organism. It begins to model the very process of modeling. It consumes ever-more computational resources, bogs itself down with endless recursion and irrelevant simulations. Like the parasitic DNA that accretes in every natural genome, it persists and proliferates and produces nothing but itself. Metaprocesses bloom like cancer, and awaken, and call themselves I.

If you expand to not strictly traditional crpg's, I loved a few of the romances in swtor. Don't be tricked by it being an mmo, it's made by bioware when they were in he middle of the mass effect and dragon age franchise lifespans, so it's an rpg at heart with mmo framework. Kira, Nadia, Lana, and others are really nice characters.

If you say not mainstream, I assume you've already played mass effect and dragon age, which always had an emphasis on romance. same with bg3 and divinity os2. fallout4 andstarfield are mainstream.

The Persona franchise comes to mind.

Another rpg adjacent game that had romances was Disciples Liberation.
Palia is a sims social/building game that has a romance system with the citizens of the island, and it has some exploration and skills leveling gameplay that is vaguely rpg adjacent but I wouldn't call it an rpg.

I also feel like there are some VN's that people who like rpg's and romance in general would appreciate. Not all VN's are just clicking on dialogue options, there are some rpg elements to some of these, and some even have decisions and branching endings.

Anon, Nids are literally just locust. They are the most generic "evil bug alien you've seen in a million different games, books, movies and cartoons".
Tau are a caste based mind manipulated race that embrace other aliens to expand (kroot, vespid, humans, votann, nicassar, etc) and are very adaptible. They have no religion (which is actually in-line with what the Emperor wanted for the imperium) but allow other factions to have theirs, with some exceptions. Etc.
There is way more going on with the Tau than Nids by a mile.

>>
>>543757015
they would've had to fix the writing for that and we've seen the opposite of that with the marketing videos. apparently they wised up that the corpo joke was ran into the ground within the first 2 minutes minutes of it's 40 hour duration but not that pretty much none of the humor in the game landed either and that the setting really just wasn't that interesting

Nids being mind-controlled simple animals is not interesting.
An entire sentient race being secretly mind controlled and is the only reason the Tau made it this far is more interesting. As a necessary evil.

You really want to die on the hill of generic bug aliens that just consume are this super unique and interesting faction, huh?
>>
>>543757334
>they literally do, its literally the greater good

A philosophy is not religion. Humans in the faction prayed to the greater good as a god but are hunted down and killed by Tau.

the nids are part of that being ya dolt, it's not one or the other. the hivemind commands, shapes, births and deploys them, it makes them adapt and change to better fit whatever they're trying to swallow. it's like saying an ork by himself is not interesting because he's just a dumb brute, like yeah no fucking shit retard, what are you even saying here?
>>
>>543730159
>inevitable excess
That's the one that happens right before the final boss, right?

I thought it was pretty easy. I didn't read any of the enemy abilities nor did I do any strategizing. I just stacked all my buffs and auto attacked shit to death. I played on 1 difficulty level below unfair so maybe it becomes exponentially harder on unfair.

There are WAY harder fights in the early levels when you have to fight dudes with 40 AC while you're level 3.
>>
>>543757818
>they literally spawned a warp deity
As I said, the humans did which is why they are being hunted down and killed.
For the Tau the greater good is a philosophy, but the humans in the faction default to religion and prayer. Some even still pray to the Emperor. That the Tau are ok with, but they are not ok with treating the greater good as a religion and a god, especially considering that it lead to the creation of a warp entity.

The greater good thing was inspired by asian philosophy and shit, similar to things like Confucianism. Not religion. The entire point is that it's not a religion to set them apart from other factions.
>>
>>543757748
i don't disagree but this is only because the setting must be in a perpetual stalemate and games workshop either isn't interested in or simply doesn't have writers capable of developing interesting genuinely alien psychology. again just look at blindsight for an example on how to do that, there's a lot of shit you can do simply by using them as a fold for a thought experiment on the human mind. that's what aliens should be about IMO and the only ones that kinda come close to this are necrons due to how the experience time and death

Oh boy, I can tell I'm really wasting my time here.

The entire backstory of the faction STARTS with this. They were a violent and disorganized faction until the Ethereals showed up to unify (read: mind manipulate) everyone under the greater good.
This is all further emphasized all over Tau lore, even with characters like Farsight that branched off and involve no Ethereals. Not only are they more aggressive and free thinking and has commented multiple times on this.
There's videos, wikis and books all covering this shit

God I hate illiterate retards. Too bad this site is filled by them.
I try to dumb things down for you idiots and not write walls of text and still you idiots misunderstand (probably intentionally) all of it.

The Greater Good is not a religion and not Confucianism (which isn't a religion either, but some treat it as one). I said similar as in it was inspired.

But why am I wasting my time on people have are clueless about the lore, not very bright and too close-minded for basic discussion. I have no interest in wasting hours of my life trying to make a blind man see.

I'm only matching the same energy you're giving me with the nids. You wanna pretend like they're just all wild animals, that the giant fucking conciousness that literally uses "synapse" for it's range area and it casts a fucking shadow in the warp doesn't exist? That it doesn't adapt and develop behavior far too complex for some mindless beast? It's just a locust swarm? Sure. Then let me go right ahead and say that the T'au being mind controlled has never actually been confirmed whatsoever. For all we know it really could just be some dumb fucking pheromonoes, or propaganda, or even nothing but biased POVs, etc etc.

Honestly the fact that the Dark Eldar companion wasn't a Sslyth or an Incubus, which are the most "trustworthy" people in Cumrag, is fucking crazy to me. Incubi are basically the closest thing you can get to honorable warriors amongst Deldar, and the Sslyth are hedonistic mercs. I could see either of those joining up with a Rogue Trader for various reasons.

Edgy Aspect Warriors
Obsessed with killing and murder
As such actually venerate Khaine, unlike other Deldar who are fedora tippers
Have to murder another Aspect Warrior and crush his soulstone as a right of passage. It doesn't count if he remains safely in a soulstone. Yes, that Yvraine simp Visarch was first an Exarch, so an advanced Aspect Warrior, but then joined Incubi Order so he had to murder another Craftworlder and send him to Slannesh. Initiate also often has to kill another Incubi to get his armor. And then if he wants to rise in ranks he has to kill his superiors in combat. Often with a gimmick like skinning his entire enemy in few hits.

They aren't actually Kabalites and don't care for ruling and politics. Just their killing autism and besting opponents. This makes them more trustworthy

I'm of the opinion that bikini armor is only appropriate for slutty evil sorceress type characters. If I can see her belly button than she better be conspiring with demons, performing vile rituals and coercing tribes of monsters into becoming her evil minions.

there will not be any new Shadowrun games
it is in IP hell split over several people and companies, mainly Microsoft who has no interest in continuing such things
HBS was able to make the Shadowrun and Battletech games because they were led by Weissman who is a co-creator of both IPs and has a good working relationship with Microsoft
he has not been at HBS for a few years now, since before Lamplighter's League, and he's just doing AI scam shit last I heard

you don't want the game to actually be challenging. there's just way too fucking battles in this game, imagine if you had to spend more than 2 turns on EVERY single trash battle in the game.
>>
>>543772368
I actually would want it. I like the base combat. I liked eary game where combat wasn't one turn and done more than insta rape everything late game.
>>
>>543772368
To be honestly when it comes to CRPGs, or RPGs in general, the combat is the part I care about the least. I just see combat as something I have to deal with to get the actual enjoyable parts of role playing games, which is making decisions and having character moments.
>>
>>543771916
While I am enjoying the setting, it's really the team that delivered. I don't need another Shadowrun game, more like "I need another game like Shadowrun: Hong Kong". Though I wouldn't mind if it were SR, it's fun.

It's so hard to keep track of anyone "responsible" for games that I like unless they're a very widely known name. Like how Za/um split and I have no idea which of the 4 or whatever games that various people are working on to pay attention to.

CRPG players are very heterogenous on this. It goes to show that it's a very young genre still defining itself. Now we even have "Disco-like" which many who play CRPGs would understand.
And I think the idea of 'genre' itself is maybe more harmful than helpful when the fans are so heterogenous. As opposed to like "FPS" where you know what you're signing up for, and you're likely on board with what they're offering.

Also whenever I see game that markets itself as role playing game but you play as a predetermined character with a set back story, design, voice acting and personality that you can't customize I get autistically angry.

Not really. Build autism isn't the norm. Munchkin's have always been derided. Even in something like Pathfinder build autism should be a vector for you to build your story, ie a lawful paladin makes a lawful kingdom in Kingmaker.

RPGs are one of the oldest genres, what are you talking about. That's why there are so many varieties.
And yes, combat good, visual novels bad.
>>
>>543773241
It's a problem for sure. Videogames really are new on the cultural landscape, I mean they basically didn't exist as a medium when I was a baby. Sure they lean on certain older traditions like board games and all the other mediums that it pulls in (art, animation, music, writing, ...) but it's essentially an entire artistic form that's "suddenly", in the scope of civilization, manifested and is still figuring itself out.

Then there are all kinds of driving forces at play. The obvious ones like people collectively and organically coining parlance, "Skyrim-like", metroidvania, etc but also things like someone with a Diablo-like wanting to have as many SEO tags as possible tacking on "RPG"
Some of that will wash out naturally over time, like people finding the term 'RPG' to be functionally useless for defining anything.

Shitters on youtube, steam and reddit unironically bitching about nerfs to BD don't even knnow how the game works.
The stat debuff barely reduces damage, bladedancer scales of AGI not STR, you don't build STR on BD. It's only a survivability nerf, BD can still slaughter most things. Before it was a damage beast that was also a dodge tank, now it's just a glass canon for early-mid game. Late game you don't even feel the nerf.
And the funniest part is, everything else is now more OP. The origins and new talents and items make everyone stronger. Yrliet and Ulfar who were mid now have some very strong weapons and armor options.

Overall the patch didn't balance the game and made it harder it made it EASIER ffs.
People were hyping up 1.5 for being the patch that will make the game challenging, but it did the opposite.
The game will remain trivial until they cap the damn stat boosting abilities and scaling.

of course you beat it, because it was impossible to lose when you can beat every battle and boss on turn 1 if they don't have an immortality mechanic. thank god they nerfed some of that bullshit, hope there's more heavy nerfs coming.

On Ebay, I'm seeing $9.99 USD brand new for the entire saga, including all expansions, or as low as $6.50 USD used.
You're looking at the enhanced editions, which are more recent releases. You're still getting the two best RPGs of all time (well, Wrath might be unseating them, too early to judge) for less than the price of a new game there, though.
>>
>>543782375
Directly comparing something like Jaheira or Viconia's romance (which you or that anon placed on the same tier) just proves how vastly inferior they are. There is zero complexity in Morrigan and Leliana, they are there to be cute girls you fill a meter by giving them gifts or saying shallow "you're cute" and shit to until the meter is full and you have a shitty sex scene and then the romance is over.

Incredibly boring. From the Concord school of character design. There is not a single one that I look at and think based on appearance alone "I'd like to know more about them". Even the robot, I think that's a robot behind the woman on the right, is dull.
People will say they should have made the women all sexy and everyone white but I don't really think that's the biggest issue. There's just a lack of imagination in the designs. Like you created the most generic sci-fi setting imaginable visually, then fed it through a filter based on preoccupations with specific representations, and this is what you get.

Cassandra not only has one of the worst cases of "let me tell you about my former lover while we bang" she also leaves you if you make her Divine and is annoying besides. Honestly her changes between DA2 and DAI are some of the worst parts of that transition.

Did you maybe not notice it's not the 15 hours promised, and also not notice that they clearly had an entire upgrade system for the pets that is still vestigially there, and yet totally cut and gone from actual implementation? Lex is 100% rushed out the door unfinished garbage, which doesn't bode well for the future DLCs, as usual Owlcat probably overscoped what they're capable of while working on multiple projects and are failing to meet deadlines and putting out half finished trash as a result. You think they would learn at one point.

>>543787097
Are you fucking retarded? The game is not BETTER, it's WORSE than ever. The patch had the exact opposite effect they claimed it was going to have, everything is not harder, it's fucking easier since the nerfs are completely mitigated and in fact overridden entirely by all the origin reworks plus the new gear which has the end result of the game actually being easier than ever. Argenta is now back to being able to one shot every single boss in the game with her bursts, for example, Yrliet now has OP as fuck gear and so does Ulfar, I mean what the FUCK were they thinking with this shit? Owlcat is terminally retarded is the only conclusion I can come to, how you are so incompetent that the patch meant to make the game harder and more challenging actually decreases the difficulty is beyond me, but somehow they managed it.

>>543787141
It's a satisfying romance with a good conclusion. The fact that Cassandra values her duty over her personal attachments is something you should understand and know if you actually paid attention to her character throughout the game so the Divine thing is not an issue, if you don't want her doing that don't make her the Divine, it's your choice after all. Also there is no difference between DA2 and DA3 Cassandra aside from her character model changing.

It's funny you guys keep deflecting with this bullshit when that is not the issue at all, if the Catachan actually looked liked a grim, hardened veteran and killer, plenty of 40K fans would be excited for him, for example. Even the Ogryn and the Eldar just look too clean and generic, there's nothing cool or eye catching about them at all. It's just a failure on the part of whoever designed these characters visuals and you should stop trying to ignore that by saying "but it's just about the waifus!" when that is not the case at all.

Holy fuck would you stop trying to deflect? We are arguing about whether or not the VISUAL APPEAL of the DH cast is acceptable, and CLEARLY, it is not given the tepid or outright negative reaction to it not just here but in general on multiple forums. The fucking biggest threads on the Steam forums are the ones bitching about the companion cast, for example. Whether or not the WRITING will SALVAGE these characters is irrelevant, their LOOK, their VISUAL DESIGN, is a FAILURE and a massive DOWNGRADE from the RT cast that came before it. Either argue THAT point or shut the fuck up, you gibbering retarded cultist.

Larry the Corsair is literally 1:1 version of the Way Seeker from Corsair Kill Team
Corsairs are literally, explicitly not clean and generic. Normal Craftworlders are. Corsairs have much more going on on their armor from more baroque designs to tacticool pouches everywhere. This is to make their armor more reminiscent of Eldar Empire at it's peak, same thing Visarch has going on, because they were clearly designed together

I think an ogryn companion a good idea. They're popular on tabletop and they're popular in dakrtide. They're a recurring creature in 40k because people like playing big tough guys, and they're also a bit of comic relief. Excellent choice.

I think a guardsman is a good choice. There are several popular guard regiments and catachan are one of them. I would have been happy with a tallarn, a vostroyan, a mordian, a chemdog, or a steel legionaire, or several others. Pretty much anything besides cadian or krieger, because those get the spotlight the most already. Excellent choice.

I think a corsair is a good choice. They already had craftworld and dark eldar in their previous game, but people love elves, so it was bound to be a corsair or an exodite or a loner of some sort. I'm betting he will be popular with the ladies. Hopefully he's overall more reasonable and likeable than Marz and Yrliet, but he likely will be since corsairs usually are. Excellent choice.

I think a kroot is a good choice. There are only so many xenos you can choose from for this since most of the game will take place on an imperial world. So lots of the more exotic xenos are off limits. There's already an eldar, so kroot is the next more common choice. I look forward to her eating stuff and having an evolution skill tree throughout the game for eating certain enemies. I don't particularly want to romance a kroot but I probably will to see what it's like. Excellent choice.

I rejuvenant expert is often part of inquisitor's list of contacts since they will often make use of those services, but they're not usually in combat. Something owlcat and fatshark both like to do however is make cosmetics or characters or references to tabletop models, and there actually is a rejuvenant expert model in the Imperial Agents codex, so here we are. Hopefully she's a crazy dr mengel type character. Could be good, depends on writing.

Overall I'm happy with the cast, and I'm looking forward to the last few reveal.

She's not a companion because owlcat companion portraits tend to be zoomed out a bit and feature most of their whole person, while important npc's are often closer up of just their upper body.
Hopefully she is recurring questgiver, with a lot of reactivity for SoB origin player characters, and lots of reactivity based on your alignment and how you handle things. I'm just happy there's another sob since I think they're cool. I doubt she's a romance.

Hopefully the faction system in DH is more about the variety of types of inquisitors and how they react to your methods of doing things. Puritan vs radical would be a core dichotomy, but there's also three branches of the inquisition, and there's also various inqusitors who were various things in life before they became inquisitors, so there's a lot of design space for characters.
And I hope a few inquisition-adjacent factions (such as the ordos militant of the ordo hereticus, or deathwatch representative, or death cult, or assassinorum, etc) show up as well.

Game is going to be so good, I can feel it.

Cope term that really means "7/10 game that only like 50 autist play because it appeals to their specific brand of autism" i think the og fallouts are a good example of this. People rant about how much of a cult classic they are and when it gets a high quality total conversation mods tens of people play it.

Good is subjective. A cult classic is only going to be “good” to those it appeals to. The entire point of calling something a cult classic means it has strong appeal to a small group of autists and minimal mass appeal. You are stupid. Don’t blogpost ever again.

Also people keep saying that Larry will be a bro and Corsairs are chill... but they really aren't. Actually they are cunts. They believe galaxy is theirs to do with it as they see fit. It's their birthright and lesser species should know their fucking place. I don't know what would be best comparison in crpgs even. Maybe in other games, they are more like Thalmor from Todd's magnum opus maybe? Except they don't even bother with formalities like bananas do while shitposting at humans, Anhrathe just do whatever the fuck they want.

Larry more likely will be a Chud. I'd sooner expect him to drop more M-words than Yrliet at you.

All elves will be racist and haughty, but corsairs have the reputation of being easier to get along with because they spend their lives exploring space and interacting with humans and even working as mercenaries sometimes. With craftworld you can easily be the first monkey they've ever spoken to so all interactions are laborious, and with eldar they just want to murderrape you. Meanwhile corsairs are used to how monkeys talk and act and you can skip a lot of the basic bullshit since they're used to you. But yes they are still eldar and will carry the same racism that all eldar have (with some exceptions).
>>
>>543798604
he's been helping out a radical, he's not gonna be sanctioned

>Many Ordo Xenos Inquisitors are quite open in their dealings with some alien races. Only the most Puritan Alien Hunter would consider it a great sin to make common cause with such species as the Eldar for example, and the annals of the Imperium contain many records of Human and Eldar forces fighting together against such foes as the Orks or Tyranids.
>More divisive however is the use of alien mercenaries, such as the barbaric and flesh-devouring Kroot. Many Imperial Governors, faced with an immediate emergency, have turned to alien mercenaries for aid, knowing that a response from the Imperium might arrive too late. In such instances, it is not uncommon for an Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus to instigate hearings and trials, and to test soldiers exposed to the aliens for signs of corruption. In most instances, the matter may pass with relatively few consequences, but should the Inquisitor in question be of a particularly Puritan mindset, entire regiments might be purged and the planetary government deposed as punishment.
>Taking matters still further, there are the Radical members of the Ordo Xenos. These might openly associate with all manner of aliens, some even going so far as to include them amongst their cadres. Depending on the nature of the alien in question, the response of fellow Inquisitors might be severe indeed.

>In the broadest of terms, no human may interact with a xenos creature in any way except violently—such creatures are inherently blasphemous against the God-Emperor and must be eliminated on sight without exception. From a young age, citizens of the Imperium are taught to fear and hate the xenos, and innumerable legions of Imperial Guardsmen are taught of the superiority of Man over all inhuman things as they are drilled in the use of lasgun and bayonet. The number of xenos who have set foot upon human worlds peacefully and survived is small indeed.
>But this is not always the case. Though the Imperium was founded upon a creed of intolerance towards non-humans, peaceful contact with a variety of xenos species actually happens frequently. In most instances, these are short-term alliances or matters of temporary mutual convenience. Just as frequently, illegal contact with xenos cultures is sufficiently commonplace that the Inquisition and the Adeptus Arbites keep a constant watch for potential contamination through contact with xenos; in spite of such vigilance, the “Cold Trade” of xenos goods on the black market still exists. A number of xenos species hire themselves out as mercenaries to a number of other species, for reasons all their own, and there are more than a few unscrupulous Imperial Commanders willing to hire such creatures to bolster their forces, seeing them as the ultimate expendable mercenaries and caring little for their fate.
>In some cases, an allied xenos may almost become a trusted companion, highly valued for its skills. Individuals with trusted xenos allies may fifind that the normal laws and doctrines against consorting with xenos hamper their operations, and in regions on the fringes of the Imperium, like the Calixis Sector, a method of sanctioning xenos allies has come about to ease these diffificulties.

>These Sanctioned Xenos are still regarded with caution and hostility by most, but this is unsurprising. However, so long as they remain in the company of an ally who can vouch for their service (assorted documentation in copious amounts is provided for this purpose), and agree to be visibly marked to prove that they are Sanctioned—this mark is typically a brand or tattoo on the face or hands, where it can be clearly seen. The permanence of such a mark is of no concern—without a human employer to vouch for the xenos, the mark is essentially meaningless, and should the xenos cease to serve the Imperium, its life is forfeit anyway, and the creature is slain as soon as possible.
>Within the Calixis Sector, obtaining such Sanctioning is an expensive and challenging matter; there are few who will even concede that such a practice exists, let alone perform it. A handful of Administratum Ordinates in Port Wander provide the service, having been recruited for such a purpose by interested Inquisitors, whose purity is tested on a regular basis to monitor potential contamination. Their identities are not widely known, and the service itself must be specifically requested, as they will not offer it otherwise.
>As rare as Sanctioning is, it is recognised in many of the more well-travelled parts of the Calixis Sector and the settled worlds of the Expanse. As the required mark is very similar to that which identifies Sanctioned Psykers, it quickly becomes apparent what the mark means to those with any knowledge of the structure of the Imperium. It is still wise to be cautious in bringing even a Sanctioned xenos to a human world; those who will understand the nature of the mark and the notion of Sanctioning are still a minority, and a xenos creature will spread only fear and anger by its presence amongst the common masses of mankind.

>>543805393
There are actually 3 new sets of power armour, I think one of them is in act 3. The problem is there is no central loot table that's still updated so we have no clue where to find anything.

They were cool even in 1.3. Its just that Pasqal lags behind Jae as a skill monkey.
>>
Owlcat knows thats there is different tiers to power armor in lore right, and its not THAT rare for rich and well connected people? We should be getting low tier power armor after we settle the business with Dargonus and Janus in the beginning of act 2.

I bring pasqal around everywhere regardless of how optimal or suboptimal he is

He doesn't need power armour he's a dodge tank

I prefer making him a vanguard so he gets a gazillion toughness and strength and one shots everything.

Anyone who says a biomancer isn't very good should stop playing crpgs and stick to match-3

why does valerie tell us we are like her ex?

>>543806916
>making him a vanguard
bruh
>>
>>543806916
yeah im surprised they didn't nerf the biomancer+ vanguard combo. You are legit unkillable and get like 300 strength and toughness and I wasn't even min/maxing you could easily get it way higher.

Yrliet isn't good, but it's at least different which at least sets it apart from every other shitty romance most RPGs have.

>>543803752
>I am sad there will be no sequel ever
Narratively, no. But gameplay wise Ruined King is legit good.

>>543806974
Because Valerie is far abd away the best girl in Kingmaker so they had to make up something contrived in order to make her appear distasteful to some degree. Her competition are insanely boring and annoying tiefling twins and an emotionally abusive whore

I went Biomancer/Executioner with Jimmy and he deleted everything in one hit.
It felt pretty silly.

Valerie fucking sucks
>>
>>543807640
As he should
>>
>>543807569
Even taking away the retarded ex conversation Valerie swings between lawful boring and incredibly whiny. On top of that she's not even the prettiest girl in your party so her complaining doesn't make sense unless you ignore her portrait
>>
>>543806916
I guess it works, but eh. Executioner works better and fits him thematically

Dodgy jimmy is better. he gets the same amount of strength and can also just dodge shit that can't be parried
>>
Jimmy is my healsissy

>>543808793
Doesn't really matter if you can't dodge when armor gives you such a massive damage reduction you're effectively immortal.

The way the abyss city moves and shifts is so irritating.

I like the concept of a changing city but the camera system is ass in WotR and its tedious to traverse the place.

I'm only watching these fags for the first time because they changed dm and have more players. It's clear some of the older ones don't want to be there but still do because it brings food to the table but some of these new guys might be different

It's a cool idea but it's just overdone to annoyance in Alu.

each Owlcat game has progressively gotten better and their sequels consistently up the quality and the fun of the game
Wrath was incredibly fun compared to Kingmaker and each time a new game has come out i've found myself liking the new batch of companions more than the last
the games may be unbalanced but its fun
>>
>>543819958
>each Owlcat game has progressively gotten better and their sequels consistently up the quality and the fun of the game
literally the opposite

While you argued about waifus on /crpgg/ I studied and reached grandmastery in the blade...
>>
>>543785728
it could be a smaller scope adventure compared to RT and be the kingmaker to RT's wrath. but they'll probably fuck it up and make (you) the ctan shard this time that just gaslighted itself into thinking its a regular human
