New bake pls
>>553141784>Are you open to weirder non-human companions?I don't care about what they look like as long as they are cool. The quality of a companion is always more important than whether they are human.
cumers
inhuman companions are cringe when they are romanceable, just invites the worst of the worst like furries/scalies
>>553141784>TQIf the devs bother to still make them interesting to build around and it actually fucking matters.
>>553142071You aren't going to like the Starfinder game
>>553138451When are we getting a CRPG in this setting? I'm gonna guess the lore is shit.
>>553142071Humans were made to be fucked by xenos
>wading into a mass of gnolls so hard my character breaks three axes in the fightI know it's just a random % chance of breakage but that was pretty cool. I was getting really tired of the wilderness bullshit but storming this castle has been kino.
>>553142436I'm not playing Paizo's furries in space shit
>>553142587>you will NEVER be penetrated by a lizard's two cocks simultaneously
>>553142576probably, it's just for tabletop and dioramas
>>553142751Maybe in the new Divinity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA4J6ByZPR0New Game + show will have some RPGs so far it's confirmed Blood of the Dawnwalker has romance
>>553142614It is fun. Oh btw if you're looking for Dynaheir she can be annoying to find, she's at the bottom of one of those circle things and stupidly you have to actually go down into it for her sprite to be visible
>>553143117the combat in dawn walker has me mildly worried. combat like that can be good, but most of the time going with normal action combat is better. looks a little janky which is the bane of that kind of combat.
>>553141784Wrath of the Righteous: Lord of Nothing. Anyone knows if there is a point in doing an evil playthrough and hoarding all shards for yourself?Already did a pretty good playthrough where it seems I did everything right, destroying the shards and keeping everyone alive, so I figured I'll try to do the opposite and it feels like just pure failure. Is that right, or there will be something once it is exported to the main campaign?I mean I can't really complain if it is pure failure, I've been warned thoroughly, but I did have to see that maybe it changes things or not. And the angel starting dead, and I think Sendri lying about it made me think there was some opportunity.
At times it seems like some of you hate CRPGs.
>At times
>Recruiting Ulfar>can't use any of my weapons because of this astartes BSwhy did I even pick him up?
>>553144643you get a bunch of astartes gear for him when you recruit him. you should also have some already, though they might be heretical only.
I was thinking of giving Cyberpunk 2077 a try, is there any cuckoldry in it?
>>553145130not crpg
>>553145130Yes, you get cucked by Silverhand when he takes over your body
>>553143117Why is every Owlkek interview dude ESLmaxxed
>>553145130Non-meme answer, yes, there's a lot of it.
>>553145429What
>>553145130Only the lesbian romance option does something akin to cuckoldry and only in one ending where she thinks (You) died, years passed and she got married and then finds out you're actually alive but now she doesn't want to meet you at all because you might ruin her new thing.
>>553145803Silverhand literally takes over your brain throughout the game and even takes over your body against your will and goes to party and have sex with whores. This is extreme cuckoldry that goes beyond mundane interpersonal relationships.
>>553145923Take your meds. Please.
>>553145130Game cucking you out of gameplay with long linear dialogue cutscenes.
>>553145969I'm merely answering an anon's retarded question, why would I need meds?
>>553145923>Anything at all is cucking if you're just obsessed enough.
Where can I find the closest solo mage in BG1 that can fit my good-oriented party?I only have one slot so the duos like Minsc & Dynaheir don't work, as I was just disappointed to discover.
>>553146061Please anon. Your parents are worried about you.
Which crpg has the highest quantity of cuckoldry and which crpg has the highest quality of cuckoldry?
>>553145803not really ducking, but the latina gf was a total town bike
>>553146121Now you understand the mind of someone asking if there is cuckoldry in a game or not.
>>553146163Expand your mind. Body snatching is cuckoldry of the highest order.
Is Arcanum good?
>>553146750It's good but it's also bad. You should play it.
>>553123293Canonical fun crew, besides you and Yrliet, is>Argenta >Idira>Jae >FREE SLOTIf personally would put Kibellah in the free slotArgenta and Idira are basically mandatory
>>553145429They all speak English as a second language
>>553146857I played it when I was a kid but got lost very quickly, though I remember some funny lore stuff. I'll give it another go.
>>553146140Oh that's easy especially if if you're using the E->good orientedOh. I guess Xan - you get him pretty early on in the MSQ at the end of the first dungeon and he's a lawful neutral enchanter so he's the CC master.Not the strongest by any means but he'd make people say slurs in a multiplayer environment.
>>553143117>Avowed update adds different playable species, fixes fighter tree and adds arachnophobia mod
>>553147098I assume I'll find him at Nashkel Mines or closely after so I guess I can survive till then.
>>553147241Yeah, he's at the end.Couldn't remember the area name for the life of me but he's more than solid for all BG1 encounters as long as you lean into his gimmick.
>studio is all people who were born and raised in cyprus and russia>"why do these people have english as a second language?!?!"
I wanna smooch her.

Are the dlcs for kingmaker important? Only owlcat I've played was RT and the void dlc was better than the second half of that game.
>>553150958Not really. I guess for twins because they're the best romance in the game (they're hot and Kanerah is only implied to flirt with other men for money)
>>553151382>they are hotliterary
>>553151382>they're the best romance in the gameWhat about Valerie bro...?
>MUH SMOOCHIN DOLLIESJesus christ some of you are pathetic. Really, get a grip.
>>553151625She is a red herring. First presented as the kinda trad blonde white romance option for the average straight man she then turns out to be an extensive humiliation ritual where you are forced to listen to her talking about how much her previous bf pleasured her and that you will never match him and all you can do is nod and accept it or be dumped. Then as the final slap in the face the ending explicitly goes out of its way to make it clear to you that you dont have children and wont have any, implying a loveless marriage. It cannot be underestimated just how much the Valerie romance mind broke this community. She is the reason this general is a never ending barrage of cuckposting which even spilled over into /bgg/ with the Halsin fiasco. Shadowheart is very similar to Valerie actually in how she is mean to humiliate you, its just a little less insidious because the Halsin shit is optional unlike in Cuckmaker.
>>553152234Which are the non-cuck options in Kingmaker then?
goodberry pie
>>553152940If by non-cuck you mean isn't involved with other men then 0.>One currently has a boyfriend and they tell you they fuck a lot>The other is Valerie>The secret one is tempting other men (but its dreamsex so it doesn't count)
>>553153101The tieflings dont cuck you.Nyrissa doesnt cuck you either, she just manipulates coomers into destroying kingdoms for her.
>>553137557Nah, they can have two or four arms as well. Three is just more iconic because the asymmetric adds to their uncanny-ness. That said there is a certain amount of reuse simply due to have plastic model sprues work.
>VALERIE NEEDS TO PUMP OUT AT LEAST 3 CHILDREN BY THE SECOND YEAR OTHERWISE ITS A LOVELESS MARRIAGEIncel logic is fascinating
>>553153565>she is not ready to settle down yet chud!
>>553152940Octavia
>>553153101>>553153449Despite the Twins not having a ton of content I did appreciate that Kanerah was down to fuck whenever you liked. Made it feel more like there was an ongoing physical relationship there even when there wasn’t new content specifically.
>>553151847More RPGs should have a repeatable “Wanna smooch right now?” option.
>>553154141Somehow only Dragon Age did this iirc. Namely Origins and Inquisition. I don't remember if 2 did so.
>>553153873>Tiefling friend with benefitsOleg knows what the people want.
bg3 did it, and they even hve different comments if you do it a lot.
How horrible does it feel to play Kingmaker in 2026?
>>553149125Why is Argenta brown?
>>553154592If you played WOTR first then you'll miss a lot of the QoL stuff. If you didn't, it's fine I guess.
>>553154625Fire from the ship's rejection browned her
>>553154592I'll let you know in a few minutes, booting it up for the first time now
>>553152940Mercenary with female portrait of your choice.You need to imagine the scenes on your own, though. I like to place at least two per act since it's not tied to Owlcat's script.>>553153565Do you have even an inkling how monarchy works? It's especially jarring considering that Valerie is LN and is all about doing her duty and loyalty in everything else... except the one that only she can really complete as the queen.
>>553154625She's not, but Raszard is so pale that everyone looks brown in comparison
>>553154592Aside from wotr imprivements it's fine.Some of encounter design is really bad.
>>553155507>SomeGenuinely can't think of any encounter where I thought it was good. Maybe fucking with those gems that spawn 2 Thanadaemons stronger than the dungeon boss is interesting but other than that, nah.
>>553155328>Do you have even an inkling how monarchy works?Is the king likely to die soon? Are there political threats to the throne? Was the marriage political in the first place? Is there any urgency to produce an heir NOW?
>>553155990Children need decades to grow and mature into capable rules retard
>>553155990>Is there any urgency to produce an heir NOW?Yes.Like how Kate Middleton produced three heirs in record time.People die all the time, just like that. Why, you could die in your sleep tonight
>>553155990The King who goes out to fight demons, cultists and monsters that gave Abadar trouble?It's silly to play that card when Owlcat goes out of there way to have NPCs like Lander outright say you're retarded for not securing your lineage as early as possible
>>553156258This isn't game of thrones or the war of the roses, buddyNeither the baron nor Valerie is noble, they're just two bumfucks who happened to be a couple by the time the baron conquered a new land
>>553143117Dark Heresy is on!
>>553156443>Neither the baron nor Valerie is noblePlay the fucking game. You literally become a king after deposing Irovetti.
The thing I definitely want out of my warrior girlfriend is for her to be a baby factory
>>553156619>baby factoryThis is an anti-natalist buzzword
>>553156576BUT YOURE NOT OF ROYAL BIRTHPRESSURE TO PRODUCE AN HEIR ONLY APPLIES TO MONARCHY WITH LONG ESTABLISHED LINEAGE NOT JOHN BARON THE NOBODY WHO GOT MARRIED TO VALERIE KNIGHT THE NOBODY
Haven't played crpgs in a while what start with? I never was able to finish a pillars run or rogue trader, never launched solasta. I have plenty of time to play games again
>>553156864Why wouldn't that apply to an upstart? Why not start a lineage of your own? Do you need divine mandate to do that? You could probably call up Shelyn or whatever for her blessing. You are in charge of basically two kingdoms after Act 4, who's going to challenge you? Jamandi? That guy who I forgot the name and keep only remembering Raszard? Razmiran I think?You won your royalty fair and square.
>>553156619>doesn't feel a desire to repeatedly impregnate a fit/athletic womaneat less processed foods
>>553154592It's rough cause none of the encounters in that game are really fun unlike wotr
>>553157104>You won your royalty fair and square.Still missing the point but I'm bored of you now, enjoy winning this non-argument
>>553156864Nigger every nobleman with land desires an heir immediately. You are just as responsible for your barony as a king is for his kingdom. If you die without an heir your title is extinguished and your land absorbed into the Crown.It's called "feudalism". Look it up.
>>553154592Mostly fine. “Effortless” kingdom management takes a lot of the RNG annoyance out of the Kingdom stuff while not binding you to the choices in auto-kingdom. The UI is a bit more primitive than WotR, but this is a genre where people are still regularly playing games from the 90s. That said, I don’t think it’s a game needs to be played more than once unless you are dead set on replaying to win the Salad bowl and get the fairytale ending.
43 minute interview about Rogue Trader (incl future DLC) and Dark Heresy with Shestovhttps://youtu.be/ZDZsj0IeFnw?si=LcTtgJBZSnsMJXbk
There's something extra pathetic about needing the game to specifically detail that you fucked and impregnated you're waifu. Are you not capable of just imagining this shit? You faggots are so insecure that the second the game isn't explicit about something you imagine that someone else is fucking your wife.
>aldori backs you to stabilize the area>deal with every deadly problem personally>risk civil war or foreign intrusion after you die because the queen wants to wait longer with you than she would with a farmer
>>553157416>Are you not capable of just imagining this shit? HEADCANONRASZARD-ADJACENT HEADCANNONEER
>>553157416Then why did it specifically detail the opposite?
>>553157416>Just imagine it broThank you anon. I impregnated Deskari and made him my wife.
>>553156443>Neither the baronYou can make up your own backstory. Nothing the game specifically says you are a commoner/pleb.>nor Valerie is (are) nobleI dont remember it exactly but Valerie is nobility or at least from a well off family.
>>553157595Reddit man is genuinely more sane than every cuck obsessed autist itt
FARMED
>>553157813She is also the protege of a God with a huge following so that puts her beyond nobility anyway.
Uhhhhh sorry but if the narrator doesn’t say that I didn’t piss my pants in every dialogue I have to picture my character pissing himself
>>553158092false equivalence
>>553158092Correct. Choices and consequences have to be indicated by the game, not my imagination. If I have to imagine things, then why am I playing the fucking game?
You guys ever tried Expeditions: Viking?
>>553157325>expanding the voidship in next DLC with a few places and re-visiting old onesnice
Finished Nashkel Mines, that was fun if a bit easy since all the enemies were so weak. Imoen is completely worthless at trap detection so I walked into all of them but they barely did anything so whatever. Clumsy little sister charm carries her. So far the more intentional encounter design in the gnoll fort and the mines has been the highlight of the game. I really dislike combing through wilderness maps to find a couple wolves or some other useless bullshit and I think I'm just going to stop. I'm not really going for completionist here anyway.
There are people who unironically get actually upset about who and how their bideogame dollies smooch
What is Regina from Expanse turns out to be a cuck-free romance, but she is a futa with a hue bussy breaking giga cock
>>553158404People on reddit are cancelling Raszard because Yrliet can't consent to him thinking about smooching her on account of her being a fictional character
>>553158480>cuck-free romanceWe already know people will call it boring because of that
>>553158480greatest gaming romance ever created
>>553158550Go back
>>553158359One this to keep in mind for trap detection is that no matter how high your skill is it only “pulses” once per round. So once every six seconds real-time. That means that if you really want to avoid all traps in any area without reloading you need to walk forward a bit, wait a few seconds, then walk forward a bit more, wait, etc.
>>553157416Anons have ZERO imaginations so yea. I don't think any of them are capable of imagining what they do with their waifu after the game ends.
>>553158359There's some interesting stuff in the wilderness but if you don't enjoy the random stuff that is also there yeah you probably won't like it much, might as well just dig deeper into the iron crisis leads. And now you have Xan to cheer everyone up along the way! The thing about traps is that detection is on a global 6second loop, so you could be a literal god of trap detection and if you happen to be next to one at the wrong point in that loop, you won't see it for a few seconds no matter what.It is what it is, some people hate that, I personally like it because it forces me to still proceed cautiously in areas that I feel might be trapped, and it gives a sense of realism where instant perfect detection wouldn't. I'm sure there's a mod out there to change it if you want.
>>553158331>Starts around from visting footfall, but majority of content is late game.>implants allow you to replace limbs
>>553158359Yeah the later game stuff leans more into intentional encounter design. But a lot of people love BG1 for ability to run around and “mow the lawn” of the fog of war in all the wilderness zones.
>>553158758I can just imagine these stinky incel losers, flab lifted with one hand, furiously slapping their tiny peener with the other, furious at the screen for not giving the exact text description of their "waifu" that they want.

>>553158331I want to see where the companions sleep
>>553159014There are a fair amount of things to find too though, little microquests or interesting encounters here and there.That dryad and the ogre mage, the couple groups of adventurers, the sanic dart guy. Firewine area, maybe, though the maze sucks due to pathing annoyance.Those wilderness maps tend to have 2-3 interesting things somewhere on them.
>>553159147Apologize
>>553159302I can only hope Ork is the 4th dlc
>>553159147>budget larfliterally whyare eldar twinks the new dogmatic human
>>553154931 (me)Seems playable but the VAs are generally obnoxious so far
>>553159147Yrliet will try to make him jealous by holding hands with the RT
>>553159147Also Shestov said the new companion's abilities will be unique and a new way to interact with the battle, does that mean he will do necromancy?
>>553159536applause please
>>553159147So last companion was a romancable male, and they are doing another because...?
>>553159147>Kingmaker>Default Male - Hedwirgall this fucking time I thought it was Hedwig
>>553159657they buff constructs he'll probably just summon a wraithguard and function as a hybrid shlomo/larf
>>553159147timestamp?
>>553159147I don't believe you but waifufags and elfcels are going to be insufferable if that happens
>>553159810Hopefully waifufags never get another one
>>553159657Nah they'll just patch in some of the DH stuff He'll be able to influence enemy position in the initiative list
>>553159862Hedwig is a girl's name
>>553157325I can't understand his accent!!
>>553158943>majority of content is late game.Well that's good to know
Not sure at all of the consequences, but after I met up with Fasolt and his regiment, I made the executive decision that all of us including Ludin and his entourage, are going to Ridgehorn, perhaps the source of this apparent 3rd invasion.The other options were to split forces and continue to Grofheim, or to continue to Grofheim altogether. Only time will tell if my decision was a wise one, but everyone is following my lead, at least for now.Earlier I overheard a varl desrespecting me on the march, and threw him down and had words. It was cool how a day or so later, he approached and asked to protect me in my personal retinue.
>>553159810Owlcat also favored the homosexual men and women fans. This was obvious post Kingmaker despite their best selling dlcs being the tiefling twins and Kibbles.
>>553159147Hell yeah, another xeno to send to the Inquisition
>>553160191>best selling dlcs being the tiefling twins and Kibbles.>Kingmaker best selling anythinglol. Sorry but Lex was the best selling RT dlc
Only 2 more months until solasta 2 saves this general
the tier list, as it were
>>553160191Are you retarded?
>>553160343That is inspite of solomorne not because of him
>posted it again award
>>553159147>last companion was maleDon't Owlcat try to keep the number of men and women balanced? Why two guys in a row?Are they really this petty that they don't want 40k fans to have another female Eldar in retinue, they don't have to make her romancable
Good morrow anonymous friends. I am a new player to the Rogue Trader series, In rpgs I never play as a human. In Kingmaker and Wrath, Solasta, I always play as a half-orc. Always. Can I do the same in Rogue Trader?
>>553160343Proof?
Its outhttps://youtu.be/tShavOuzmxM
>>553160635No
>>553160502And I didn't buy VS for Shitbbles. Funny how you forgot Ulbrig too
>>553160150I might bring Fasolt with, but I'm not sure who I'll switch him out for. Having Ludin in feels correct, and then also it feels correct to have Yrsa and Bersi.So, that leaves Hakon, Gunnulf, or Mogr. I think Mogr will stay behind, also since I don't have enough Renown to promote him to 4. I'm sure excess kills overflow into the next rank, but it's a good enough excuse to bench someone.
>Doesn't Owlcat try to keep the number of men and women balanced?Someone should tell owlcat that they dont need to do this.
>>553159147HOLY BASEDFUCK CHUDSFUCK INCELSTOTAL CHUDCEL DEATHCRY YOU STUPID FUCKING VIRGINS YOU WILL NEVER GET AN ELDAR TO SLEEP WITH YOU
>>553160628>Don't Owlcat try to keep the number of men and women balanced?This was never a thing. They told us this with Ulbrig even that they make the companions they want. It just happened to be balanced.
>>553160635No. At best, you can make your character technically be some sort of cyborg in the character generation, but that is purely cosmetic and there is no reactivity to it.
>>553159147Lmao
In Kingmaker, would Octavia sleep with an Asmodean worshipper?
I prefer gesalting over multiclassing.
>>553159147Owlchads I kneel. He and Larry will destroy the Eldar waifufags. I hope they both have sex with the female MC
>>553160939probably, she's slept with just about everything else
>>553160974dangerously zased
>>553160939I don't think she'll object as long as (You)'re nice with her. I don't remember if classes even fucking mattered.
>>553159810I listened to the video, he doesn't say what it is besides that they have augmented mechs. Don't make the waifutards go into a melty. >we are famous for our endings L O L
>>553160628>Abelard>Jimmy>Marzipan>Ulfar>Pasqal>Cassia>Idira>Argenta>Yrliet>JaeIt was 5:5 on releaseThen >Kibbles>SolomorneMade it 6:6So no matter which they chose for DLC 3 it would be imbalancedIf you like, this points to a female for DLC 4
I made up the Eldar to see how anons would react :)Everything else is true though
why do Owlrats accept 4 DLCs for one fucking game
>>553161164>>553159147wrong response AIEE
>>553160994The new guy will give rise to an Aerie-Heir'dalis-CHARNAME situation with the RT and YrlietThe only winning move will be not to play.
Next companion is an evil clone of you with a bigger dick
>>553159703Linzi is cute
>>553161209Is it really balanced though when 2 male companions are actually only available on the latter half of the game? Should we count the "secret" ones?
what's the ideal class for the PC in BG2, or are there enough companions to not have to worry about filling a role?
>>553159147Fuck Owltrannies I'm not buying their next DLCs nor Dark Heresy. Pirating both. Disgusting double standard bullshit. Yeah give women a harem of male Eldar, but men can't get one that isn't retarded and degrades you.
>>553161356You should try playing bg2 one day
>>553161264>I made up the Eldar to see how anons would react :)I genuinely wish the people here weren't such subhuman retards. We are getting implants but nobody wants to discuss the gameplay ramifications of that. Instead they fall for the most obvious bait imaginable.
DLC 3 companion is a female necron with big hips but almost no titsDLC 4 companion is Yrliet's mom, retrieved from an escape pod
>>553159147So 3 male elves, 1 femaleFair and reasonable
>>553161409You really have to hate specific companions or be anal about alignments to worry about such things.
>>553161582People who actually care about gameplay already talked about the implants when they announced it months ago
>>553161582What gameplay ramificationsRT is so easy you win immediatelyThe only interesting thing is the characters
>>553161264Im praying its not another elf or dogma human
>>553159147I can't describe how happy I am that Owlcat is continuing to shit on incels. If he's romancable the melties will be delicious.This made my night anon, thanks for watching through the interview so we don't have to btw
>>553161582What, random buffs that an implant can give? Numerical increases? Extra skills? Not much to really talk about when RT was easy as piss. I don't expect DH to be any different.
>>553161878You missed the post about it being made up.
Owlcat owes us a female domme elf. They owe it.
I got to act 4 in DOS2, but the voidwoken fight before the city shits on me. Any advice? The Kraken fight looks tough as well, so I'm trapped between a rock and a hard place.
>>553161942>female domme elfI'm right here, elantach
In other Owlcat (publusher) news:No real release date for Shadow of the road yet, just a trailer mentioning 2025.I have higher hopes than Rue Valley if just for the core gameplay
>>553159147I wonder how 40cucks feel that women are getting all the fanservice in their setting's RPG.>denied SoB>Eldar girl is pussy free>women get 3 Eldar chads to fuckThe only thing is missng is that tey add a fem Tau but makeher a lesbo
>>553161980There should be other places where you can try to level up. If you helped the bloodmoon child, there's some extra EXP you can get there. For the Kraken, you don't actually have to kill it, just get it to half and it'd flee. You can also just let those guards die without issue, they're all idiots anyway.
>>553162143>So eager to shitpost, missed the part where it's made up
>>553162153I did let the guards die, and the Voidwoken still flattened all of us.
>>553161562I have. If you make a big stink over Haer'dalis talking to Aerie, she gets pissed off and breaks up with youIf you tell her "you know what, fine, I'm not playing games with you" then she commits to you fullyIt would be good to tell Yrliet that you're not her mon-keigh pet and have it actually improve things

It's going to be an Imperial Guardsman from the Great Crusade who is taller than (you), smarter than (you), stronger than (you), and who (you) will be forced to defer to in dialogue because (you) do not know the God-Emperor's teachings as well has he does. Whenever he's not in the room (you) will have a dialogue option to wonder where he and [female retinue] member are that changes every time.
>>553162872I think they say 10-15 hours for every dlc they ever released
>>553163065He'll be taller than Yrliet and she will be in awe of his graceful, quiet strength.

40sloppers what faction/unit thing uses special implants in battle
>>553163220>has become
>>553163353A lot of things, cybernetics/prosthetic limbs/implants etc. are common among Imperium in general and with Orks & Chaos
>>553163353These guys
>>553163353literally everyone in 40k uses cybernetic or biological enhancements/implants
>>553162757She’s a streamer. Voice acting is good for streamers because they don’t have to either A: Read it out loud themselves. Or B: Risk viewers getting bored or frustrated because they can’t or won’t read the dialogue from the stream.
>>553163353IG because they're piddly humans but mostly for the upper ranksOrksProbably could put them on OgrynsDon't think the Eldars use that.
we're getting a augmented ork guys!!
>>553163353Everyone
>>553163353Adeptus Mechanicus most infamously. But there are also space marines like Iron Hands, Orks do it thanks to painboys, Dark Elder Haemonculus shit uses implants, Imperial Assassins use them, Votann use them, Chaos uses them, more or less everyone does. And implants are already in the game cosmetically in character creation.
>>553163578Define what you mean by "implants" because Eldar of all stripes definitely use things like specially grown organs and wraithbone/crystal augmetics.
>>553164019I'm mostly talking about mechanical, if we're talking bio ones then it's basically just everyone at that point, even Tyranids .
If I was Owlcat I'd just hire pornstats to use their likeness for characters and to voice them. It would sell well, tons of people would love pornstars in 40K.Seeing commissar Bridgette B or Sister of Battle Angela White or Assassin Ava Adams or Eldar Rockie Emerson would be hot and sell millions.
>>553164163Wraithbone and crystal are grown psychically but are technically mechanical. They use those, but I imagine most of the implant stuff will be for the human companions.
>>553164429>pornstarsOK unc
>>553164516That's old lore. In new lore wraithbone is a mineral that they mine from the ground on certain planets, like bauxite or titanium
>>553164671in nu-lore it is still shaped and molded psychically
>>553164429Subverse didn't sell well however.
>>553162630>New Companion>* **Yes, they say there is a new companion** and that it has **unique mechanics**.>* **They do not identify who/what the companion is** (no name, faction/species, or role description given in the transcript).>* The only related detail is that the **augmentation system** can be applied to companions/characters (example: swapping Heinrix’s limbs).I'd swap Heinrix's arms and legs. Just to put him in his place

What kind of people are Inquisitors generally? Are they all a sour lemon like Heinrix? Like say Heinrix or some inquisitor fag is patrolling and some snot nosed kid runs into him. Cause kids never watch where they're going. Is the kid dead?
>>553167116>if you do* have the Fat Bastard portrait she becomes your advisor and mistressFix'ed
>>553167227sour is probably right, they're not going to be happy people
>>553167227Very, very few named characters are that insane in 40k if we take your post literally. Maybe a zealot witchhunter would do that, but most Inquisitors, even the zealots, tend to be a little more balanced. An arrogant noble might do that more often.
>rescue Farseer Eklendyl from horrific torture and experimention at the hands of the haemonculi>first words out of his mouth are YRLIET WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE HAVING MIND SEX WITH A.....

First was Muaran who couldn't tell a Slaneesh cult was in action and then this guy that appears to have his priorities completely jumbled.
>>553168238It makes more sense later when you consider all of the Farseers are still in shock over Crudarach being destroyed, especially taking into account who did it.

>"Romance is the ultimate straight incel man fantasy and I will not put them into my games!">all games flopWhen did you realize Avellone was the good writer?
>>553169609Necron tech is inherently anti-psyker. It was essentially the perfect counter to Eldar foresight. All they knew is that something really bad was going to happen, and the transport ship was related.
>>553169609Eldar farseers lack foresight.
>>553170082This picture feels weird, I'm not sure which way to really take it.
>>553169860That's EXACTLY what makes them retards. You can get way more detail and information from farseer visions. They can literally influence the skein of fate on a granular level, only Tzeentch sorcerers are comparable.>>553169919There might have been some clouding of the skein and uncertainty, but I have my doubts on it being that strong.
>>553169919I feel like there was a kernel of a theme hidden there that didn't seem to develop>you can't live your life trying to predict the future like the eldar, or stuck perpetually in the past like the imperium. You have to live in the present and move forward as best you can.
I knew this guy was trouble. I feel better about deciding not to fight on his side earlier.
>>553170202Too subtle for a simple mon-keigh?
>vince says his new age of decadence type game will have no animations at alluhhhh isnt that just going to look very very stupid to have 3d models and nothing happens during combat? shouldnt they at least have like poses ?
>>553170337They picked the wrong grounding for that kind of theme then, the Farseers we meet in the game are not "too reliant on prophecy" they just suck at their jobs.
>>553170245>They can literally influence the skein of fate on a granular level, only Tzeentch sorcerers are comparable.That's not really how it works.All they can do is read extremely vague visions that they have to transcribe while in a Warp trance.It takes a very large seer council all working together to get a clear picture of something, and even then it typically only works for singular threats they already know about.Seers can't directly manipulate the skein, they can only see possibilities on it.
>>553170245Yrliet was right to think the Farseers were dummies. She spells it out right there>so if you can't even foresee your way out of an obvious trap, isn't the entire basis of our society a lie?
>>553169596>Helping a poor little lost girl back on her feetThat's what they wanted but they weren't very good at it
>>553170548Oh my god, he isn't even doing speech or stealth. What the fuck is going on. This game is going to tank. It's going to be a Solasta garbage combatfag game
>>553170993Concerning.
>>553170993He should also cut down on needless complexity in combat. One attack move per class, and likewise one defensive move.
>>553170993Solasta is a lot better than AoD, I can't believe I got memed into buying that piece of shit game
>>553170993>It's going to be a Solasta garbage combatfag gameSo Dungeon Rats?
>>553170708They can manipulate the skein within limits, even as individuals, and as we both said the visions are not vague when a powerful farseer is involved or multiple farseers are concentrating on a particular fate. They can't do shit willy-nilly and lock in iron-clad futures like Paul Atreides or Leto II, but it's not always just "vague visions". The more likely the destruction of Crudarach became, the more clear the skein should have become. There is an argument for them seeing it too late or ignoring warning signs, though. As written, they feel more "incompetent" as opposed to "we made reasonable mistakes."
>>553141784>Are you open to weirder non-human companions?No. They are always boring tryhard cringe
>>553171334>As written, they feel more "incompetent" as opposed to "we made reasonable mistakes."I think that was the desired "emotion". The farseer was acting shifty and trying to hide something, until yrliet put him on the spot and squeezed the truth out of him.
I do not get the appeal of Kingmaker and wotr, the combat is ass. I unironically had more fun and difficulty with black geysers combat of all things.
>>553142436>pweese pway our fuwwy gameNo
>>553171292yes the game that he says is 1.4% of the revenue share of his company and never ever sold at all, he is making it like THAT one. Genius business man
>>553145429>why are esls eslmaxxing?A billion dollar question only an ameritard would even ask
>>553171334>As written, they feel more "incompetent" as opposed to "we made reasonable mistakes."That's Eldar in general, anon. They aren't allowed to be competent or successful, especially not Seers. If Seers were as capable as they should be then Eldar would never have any problems.
>>553171128What didnt you like about AoD? It's probably my favorite CRPG of all time. Combat is tough but fair without much autistic spreadsheeting needed. Very good writing, interesting world design, non linear map movement, interesting decisions and side quests, hidden content, an inter connected but very different paths for whatever path you choose.
>>553171771Nah, I think you can do a story about the dangers of relying on prophecy while still having competent Farseers. The way they did in RT is just more simple and direct, I suppose.
How is the romance in black geyser?
>>553158324Yes
>>553171916The only person I've seen post there playthrough of black geyser here is the who else is high af anon but he didn't do the romance because >all romance is fucking boring
>>553171869You'd have to write it as a self-fulfilling prophecy, where by relying on their "prediction models" they've unknowingly trapped themselves in a no-win situation where they can't even conceive of the true way out Something like >every possible future we could find had the blight catching up with us so we decided to tackle it head onwell then maybe stop looking for futures and start making them
>>553171916Haven't played it, but it existsThe women are an elf and a goth necro
I missed the first couple of days when dark heresy came out, what did the data miners leak?
>>553172140I also played black geyser. It was playable and I finished it but it's also a very formulaic cliche game. It's basically a game an amateur DM could create
>>553171869Anon it's not a matter of what's possible, it's that GW doesn't care for Craftworld Eldar being portrayed well which is reflected in secondary media due to lack of concern.Eldar sell well enough even with their lore dogpiling on them, GW sees no need go improve upon that.
>>553172310>copy dune>but somehow seeing the future isnt just a free win like it was for paul atreides40k does a lot of stupid shit but this is by far the most egregious, being able to see the futuer should make them unstoppable it's just straight up retarded
>>553159147Excellent. More fuel for the Inquisition. Jokes aside maybe he will finally be the xenos companions that I won't want to shoot in the face the second he opens his mouth>>553159931They can't possibly get any more insufferable
>>553172379Names and backgrounds of companions. Aside from the ones already announced there is>Saro the repentant psyker>Aspys Chorda the bratty rogue trader>Discordance the blank>Hypatia the female techpriest>Touma the "spy" whatever that meansOf these only Saro is playable.General report of the companions we have so far. They're all pretty good, even the elf. Combat is very different from RT, more lethal for you and you have control enemies in ways other than just beating the shit out of them ie changing their position in the initiative queue, interrupting them when they're concentrating.
>>553164429>Combat music replaced by 41 year old Sasha gray yelling the most cringe, tryhard vulgarity and dirty talk while you are trying to decide on your move.I'll pass.
>>553172687>being able to see the futuer should make them unstoppable it's just straight up retardedYeah well the faction that can do that isn't Human therefore they're not allowed to be strong.
IDEA for dark heresy. Instead of the airlock you can send companions you dont like to a inquisition black site.
>>553172751Kroot blowjob to provide strands?

>>553172723>maybe he will finally be the xenos companions that I won't want to shoot in the face the second he opens his mouthLarry is already that. He's a bro
>>553172954The skulls are really good
>>553173150I'm pretty sure its the best one at a casual glance simply because you can slap buffs on so many people at once.
>>553173257Raven is good too for offensive use
>>553173343The raven feels weird but I was also using it on a buffing Idira and not an attacking one.
>>553172469I dunno, it feels more like they chose a more direct approach rather than being mandated.
They should get crazy with the mercs you can get since you are a inquisition member.
>>553173343Does it do more than let you use another ability when you kill something once per turn?
>>553170993>open up the metro in underrail>every encounter starts with enemies rolling 30+ intitiative and critting for ~260 damage through metal armorthey just kind of gave up huh
>>553173537Once you trigger Idira's heroic ability, you can activate the raven to relay various single target attacks into AoE. Good for pyro
If owlcat was smart they would just make their own setting so they dont have to deal with mandates and can let their true artistic vision shine through.
>>553173592you mean dungeon rats? underrail isnt made by them
>>553173717their special snowflake setting would sucki dreamt it
>>553173484It's not a mandate, anon, it's the standard for Eldar.
>>553171125>aod>needless complexity It was just vats that you could spam and the enemy could spam back at you.
>>553173887Even Gav Thorpe, who went on record when he was writing codexes that "the Eldar are SUPPOSED to suck lol!" has written competent Eldar characters. Yes, the standard is that they are a dying race and all that, but not everything needs to be interpreted in that lens.
>>553174198The last time Gav wrote Eldar he made their leading major characters all get their asses kicked by a shadow clone of a Greater Daemon.Gav writes competent characters by accident
>Uhm, my facorite faction must always win otherwise it's a conspiracy against me personally
dolly smoochers, why haven't you played Necromancer's Tale? There's tons of smooching in that game
>>553174896We only play owlGOD games here.
the more you shill your shitty obscure game the less I'm inclined to give it a try
>>553174827Anon... Eldar have only ever won a single significant battle in the history of 40k, and technically speaking they actually lost that battle.
>>553175136That's one battle too many. Eldarkeks need to suffer
Is owlcat the lebron james (GOAT) of crpgs?
>>553172954Love officer overseer.Sadly overseers talents are mostly dogshit to make up for how strong it is, and the mastiff is hilariously bad.>>553173257Ravens probably better because you can use for both buffing and augmenting your offensives.
>>553173717Please no. That's how you end up with divinity original slop
>>553175478Owlcat would probably take there setting seriously so you would more likely get pillars autism
>>553175136GW rarely gives them pure wins, but there is no way this is completely true.
>>553172954Overseer is the bet archetype in the game. They will never top it
>>553175784The only clear cut win Eldar have ever had for themselves is in Valedor, when Biel Tan and Iyanden (along with a Dark Eldar force led by Lelith Hesperax herself) united to stop the Hive Fleets Leviathan and Kraken from merging into a Tyranid super-fleet.In the end it didn't matter, as the Dark Eldar abducted Nids from both fleets and brought them back to Commoragh to be merged by Haemonculi anyways, because Lelith wanted new beasts to fight in the arenas.
>>553174896I will now buy your game
>>553170536Really cute Yrliet!!!
>>553175452I'd need to re-check how Raven works but the only thing I really see the dog being worth is a flanking partner for someone.Maybe sneaking in extra damage.But the servo skulls are just a force multiplier to any buffer.
>>553175927Its a great utility class. That being said, there was some funny things you can do with an Arbitrator Vanguard to just get this fun attack of opportunity build going.
>>553176373Raven's the same, only difference is you can only give 1 teammate an extra turn instead of 2My last playthrough heinrix was fully buffing the team turn 0 for 0ap and then throwing out fat damage after.The real problem with the mastiff is the eagle does everything it does but better in 90% of cases since you can't just execute it while using a shotgun.
>>553177060They should buff the mastif. Making it immune to friendly fire is a start
>>553176118Bullshit, that is not the only clear win, even if you only count newer lore. They won the Battle of Rasilena outright, achieved their goal in the Betalis Campaign and BTFO the Emperor's Children in The Shattering and prevented a new Daemon Prince from being created. They also won other battles of Iyanden and Biel-Tan against Chaos incursions, even if the losses were heavy. There are probably way more examples in older lore.
>>553177060Oh lord, I just realized the horror that Biomancy Henrix would be.Him dumping out mass buffs T1 would be amazing with this thing.
>>553177705>Battle of RasilenaInconsequential blurb.>Betalis CampaignMade non-canon.>The ShatteringPyrrhic victory, essentially a victory for Fabius Bile.
>>553177786I should make him an overseer just to see the new voicelines
I wonder if it's normal for Renown to be so scarce, or if I should be more selective on raising a few heroes to higher ranks rather than trying to spread it around.
>>553172954This doesn’t trigger the upon buffing thing so all you’re really doing is giving people a shit crit buff
any lesser known indie crpggs with cute girls to romance or an actually good story?
>>553178869>inconsequential because I say so even they BTFO 2 Battlefleets and up to 10k SM thought it was probably much less>stopped a new Daemon Prince from appearing but it doesn't count because Fabius Bile.. got some technology and they had heavy casualties like every battle in 40k no matter the factionThey stand.>non-canonWhen were the events of Betalis III withdrawn or contradicted by more recent lore? Yes, GW shaft the Eldar, but "they only have a single major battle win" is not correct.
>>553141784>Are you open to weirder non-human companions?Yes. Animal characters are awesome
>>553181375Please just go read a romance novel, this genre doesn't want you stinky incel
How would you fix the outer worlds 2?
>>553179453Yes, renown is very scarce. That's why the option to keep pursuing the enemy during large scale battles exists. Its extremely risky, but that's the only way to get some extra renown. Pouring renown into a single character can be good up until the point where said character suddely leaves or dies because of your stupid decisions>Egil already deadRIP homie>no Ekkil
>>553181453Rasilena is mentioned a single time in a long outdated supplemental Codex. The Imperial forces involved aren't even named. It's very much a minor blurb of no actual significance, and the actual outcome of it was that Biel Tan and Iyanden grew bitter with each other.>stopped a new Daemon PrinceAt the cost of horrendous losses for Lugganath and the only CSM character capable of harnessing Eldar technology making off with a trove of it. Meanwhile Daemon Princes are still dime-a-dozen.>When were the events of Betalis III withdrawn or contradicted by more recent lore?Irillyth, the Shadow Spectres, and all mention of models related to Doom of Mymaera have been removed from the Eldar codex. This isn't an Eldar-only thing, but Imperial Armour in general is now dubiously tied to remaining models.Eldar only ever 'win' when it doesn't matter or they suffer atrocious losses that make their victory moot.
>>553182493Not release it
>>553183060They still won those battles and Imperial Armor as far as I can tell is still canon even with an absence of mention from the latest codex. Surely many things are not mentioned explicitly in codexes are still considered as background lore? All the lore significant Eldar wins are usually done with Imperium alliances, and they do get used as punching bags too much, but there have to be other examples of outright wins in older edition stuff as well.
Is it even possible to get a ending where me and my dudes don't have to die to a whack ass ritual in the Lord of Nothing dlc?I thought spreading the crystals around would keep everyone sane. Turns out that doesn't even matter.
>>553184915>Surely many things are not mentioned explicitly in codexes are still considered as background lore?Anon, background lore doesn't matter any more unless it can be used to promote the Imperium in cool ways or to make fun of Chaos or Xenos factions.The last important campaign they were in was the post-Fall of Cadia, where their 'wins' included>An entire Masque of Harlequins being massacred by a lone Deathwatch squad desipite being led by Eldrad Ulthran>The Herald of Ynnead is actually a Dark Eldar Wych, who got the position by being killed>Prince Yriel died and had to be revived>Biel Tan is broken beyond repair>Roboute Guilliman is revived>The final Macguffin sword gets stolen while Yvraine was vusy reviving GuillimanThat's the modern Eldar track record, and that stuff was pulled from 10 years ago.Eldar legitimately have never won a major battle on their own without incurring unsustainable or catastrophic losses. They have no major Warzone, no Campaign involvements, they don't even have central leadership to build on any more.Eldar are almost officially an NPC faction.
>>553185268You just have to sacrifice one of them before the end
>>553185686The losses are clearly sustainable because they still exist. Again, no one is saying GW doesn't shaft them, and they are generally portrayed on the back foot. But they have won more than one major battle. Is the state pitiful compared to how they baby the Imperium? Yes. But it is what it is.
>>553186006Damn, I didn't even pinged that as a option because number go up.Another run then, if that ever happens.

Neat how a series of small decisions led to a new heroThis game is fun and even though there's a lot of setting and lore, I've only once or twice been a little confused, and neither time did it really matter, it was just something like a few new city names that I didn't recognize in dialogue.I saw a few threads ago some people saying that 2 & 3 were a major step back, but I'll be forming my own opinion of that, hope it's not the case, and I know how retarded some anons can be, so we'll just see when we get there.
>>553185686>>Biel Tan is broken beyond repairGood
>>553188081Nid is pretty bonkers. A better archer than Oddlief
>>553162143>denied SoBGood. It's exactly how it should be.

>>553188691>Laarthyr>The one anon invented for DLC 3You don't even know if they'll have a romance, yet you're already seething farting and sharting. Just admit you love throwing tantrums
>>553188875I mean, if anon invented the eldar, he obviously invented a romance for him too.Are you peopel retarded?
>>553141784Very good OP. In fact, every op going forward should feature some kind of dragon in it. This will improve the quality of discussions dramatically, I guarantee it.
>>553167227Inquisitors who kill people willy-nilly don't last long, at all. In general, Inquisitorial willingness to choose violence immediately is greatly exaggerated by fandom because fandom is basically overrun by secondaries who know lore from 'le lore deep dive' YouTube videos or just memes.Inquisitors have insane authority, but also insane responsibility, and don't have the luxury of deluding themselves into thinking Imperium has infinite resources like nobles, Administratum or the incompetent Imperial Guard/Navy commanders do. Inquisition knows that manpower, materiel, ships and especially planets and imperial industries are a finite and very often non-replenishable. So when they clean up some chaos cultists who were blowing up factories, or corrupt nobles too busy with fucking their mutated cousins, Inquisitors are still faced with reality that valuable resources were lost. Little wonder they are so cranky and very zealous about purity.As an Inquisitor, you have the power and authority, but you are also Imperium's janitor. You clean it up for the Emperor.
>>553167227>Is the kid dead?Are you confusing inquisitors with a run of the mill nobles and rogue traders per chance?Is the kid corrupted by chaos? Yes, he's dead. Is he just a shithead? No, he's not dead. At worst he's gonna continue being a shithead. AT best he's gonna learn to look where he's going after recieveing a can of whoop ass. More likely than not he's gonna get recruited to be an inquisitorial ci and potentially a future acolyte
>>553186235Oh fuck off Kael'Thas
>>553167227>Are they all a sour lemon like Heinrix?All Inquisitors just need a gf to hug and hold hands with. In fact a government mundated gf should be a common practice in the Imperium
>>553185686>make fun of ChaosChaosniggers are winning almost as much as Shartperium forces, if not more.Literally every Chaos loss is either brushed off as inconsequential, recontextualized as "we won in the end later on" or just "heh we may have lost but we still destroyed everything and all of you wasted irreplaceable resources trying to stop us, haha".
Was it a mistake to pick Fast Shot for my first Fallout 1 playthrough?I feel like I've locked myself out of most of the actual depth in the combat system.I'm still struggling to understand what is expected of me to make it work.I picked Gifted as well.

>>553164943>The only related detail is that the **augmentation system** can be applied to companions/characters (example: swapping Heinrix’s limbs).Getting Glory from DF vibes from this. Also, keep your paws off Jimmy.
>>553191230Bg3 is simultaneously the best and worst thing to happen to rpgs.
>>553162630Great summary, you should have posted some points here instead of catboxing them.
>>553195714im too lazy + im playing crpgs + anons can just click and read for themselves
>>553191063Gifted is good, but fast shot I don't like because it blocks you from targeted attacks, but some people just love making gorillions attack epr round. Should have picked small frame to further increase your agility. Traits are mostly garbage anyway and are not necessary to pick
>>553164943>Just to put him in his placeHis place is in my bed, and he doesn't need augmentations to be there
>>553165694>>start with target emotionThat explains why most of their characters are garbage

Why are there Xenos in Dark Heresy? I thought The Inquisitor hates Xenos?
>>553197267The Inquisition is an equal-opportunity employer.
We are getting an Admech background, aren't we?I am pretty sure Admechs can't be Rogue Traders, but sure, whatever.
>>553197267Heinrix doesn't hate Yrliet, not at first anyway. He's just wary of her in Act 2 anyway.If he were the protagonist and you were playing as him, then he'd definitely fuck her, so it would be Heinrix and Yrliet vs Calcazar and Yremeryss.
>>553197421Any human can be a rogue trader thats the whole point of the warrant.
Im the rogue trader.
>>553197267The Imperium is hypocritical to the core.>we hate mutants>except those who are useful, like navigators>we hate psykers>except those who are useful, like astropaths>we hate heretics that don't worship the Emperor>but Adeptus Mecanicus are useful, so they are allowed to worship a different god, just spin it properly>we hate xenos>but we'll happily accept their help and technology when nobody is lookingImperium is just really good at rationalizing their bullshit.
>>553197650Eh, not really. Adeptus Mechanicus are usually doing their own thing and they are often outside of Imperial jurisdiction and pecking order. Even the Inquisition is very careful not to bother them too much, because while the Inquisitor can technically order the Admech around, it's usually a very dumb idea to do so.So them being Rogue Traders or Inquisitors is a bit of a conflict of interest for both Terra and Mars. Sure, they can be in RTs/Inquisitor's retinue, but being a big head honcho is quite unheard of.IIRC Inquisitor: Martyr really went hard on trying to justify a Mechanicus Inquisitor.
>>553198318>The Imperium is hypocritical to the core.Welcome to realpolitik
>>553160428>can't stand them>Johnny SilverhandI have news for you buddy, you can't exactly make that choice>>553159147>I don't need anymore DLC>male eldar spiritseerFFS take my money
>>553197650Not at all>>553197421>We are getting an Admech background, aren't we?No, we don't
>>553197421They're just adding augments man. It's supposed to add more depth to character building.
sooooo....are all navigators like this all the time? is being in the same station as them just you having wild emotions until you beat yourself to death against a wall? why are her trainers also falling under her spell? is there something special about her that will be revealed later? the whole station just didn't make a lot of sense to me. experiments seemed edgy for no reason.
>>553202836>is there something special about her that will be revealed later?YesI don't want to give away spoilers but yes she is atypical You must have already found the cloning tanks. This is addressed again later.
>>553202925yeah. looked like one was stolen/broke out and one of the heads of her family made a visit to the station as well as another rogue trader. aight cool.
>>553202836Yeah she's not a normal navigator at allYou can get a spare navigator later and he just hangs out on the bridge totally chill Cassia's peculiarity is part of her personal quest.
>>553202836No it's just Cassia. They're ugly and vile mutants but that empathy bit is specific to her.
>>553202836No, she's a special snowflake. Navigators are WEIRD, but not this weird.Also, she's waaaaay too mutated for her age.
who else is high af right now?
>>553203131Most navigators aren't even all that ugly at first. They only get super-mutated later on in their lives.Also, the very fact that the game allows you to drag your own navigator into an active warzone as a party member is wild.
Instead of random mercs you should be able to make use of Janris Danrok and Jocasta Sauerback
>>553203394Yeah man rogue trader would never allow thatWhat the fuck owlcat
Should I go bladebound, sword saint or titan fighter?
>>553202836>the whole station just didn't make a lot of sense to me. experiments seemed edgy for no reason.There is a followup to this later in the game.
>>553203838>>553202836Yeah everything there is happening for a reason which is clearly explained later as part of cassia's personal quest
>>553202836No, she's just especially autistic
So, when can we potentially expect DLC 3 to drop? Because I would assume they would have to release DLC 3 and 4 before DH launches, and one might assume DH launches around December this year, judging by Owlcat's usual alpha-to-release phase.

>>553204229I honestly don't understand why game devs even bother adding consumables to games
>>553203394It's a leftover from the Rogue Trader TTRPG where you could play navigators.
>>553204192Apr-Jun, so they say
>>553203394Winterscale does this, too. So it must be ok.
Why did Owlcat break the lore by allowing you to recruit xenos?
>>553204938It's fun
>>553204938It's lore accurate. They should have gone even farther.
>>553204938Rogue Traders literally have xenos mercs in their retinue. Including fucking Orks, Drukhari (sure, why not) and the motherfucking Tau, who lore-wise are on the other side of the galaxy.The one race TTRPG does not support are Corsair Eldar, the xenos race most compatible with Rogue Trader's shenanigans.To this day I dunno why they aren't playable.
>>553203369yes

do you think Abelard sometimes cries himself to sleep?
thinks embla that explains everything.

Imagine climbing ladders like a pleb.Real men walk wherever they please.
>>553207216I'm just glad he made an honest woman of Jostica. She was so bratty towards him in that early event, yet strangely obedient.
>>553207520The charges, officer?

of course im not the best yet, im still not max level.

>>553208357Not to worry
please stop doing this on the officer's deck.
the rangers ability to attack again right away after scoring a critical hit is kinda broken, im killing most of the enemies in turn one.
>>553208931>does this in every 'talking to the Lord Captain' cutscene
>>553208994She actually does that everytime you pass near her.She's just looking for a reason to be edgy, I guess.
>>553207862Considering Jocasta talks about you using interrogation tools on her this is actually quite vanilla for the Rogue Trader.
I don't respect marzipan, he isn't a real nigga.
>>553210205Who do you respect?
>>553210036There should have been a scene of Marzipan running to you for help to protect him from Jocasta
>>553210369Yrliet
>>553204938Imagine being by so cucked you tolerate a fucking xeno on your ship.
>>553210369Mort, he was a real nigga. To bad argenta sneaked him like a bitch.

>>553210369Abelard
>>553210369Nazeem
apple sauce please
I can see why they've decided to restrict interaction and movement. Navigation really sufferers as soon as you can freely fly anywhere.Managed to get my guy stuck in 'inaccessible' area and now anytime I try to move him game starts to lag because of messed up path calculation. Camera also can't handle so many collisions and levels.
I dont respect Argenta.
Love this little guy
>>553211858Argenta seems like she would be a problem gf
My role today? Pretending to be busy at work while doing nothing substantial.
>>553212103Argenta would cheat on you, then confess well after the fact and make it seem like your fault.
>>553207520The entire blood cult is so fucking cringe. The cringiest part of 40k lore
>>553208931>crew summoned to discuss major event>Kibellah casually slits her wrist spraying blood over half the people thereMissed opportunity for people asking her to just stop.
>>553207520I really love blood cult. It's on point how nuts people get if they can get away with it. Even over the top physical abuse is reasonable considering how high tech magic Imperium is.
>>553212369Yrliet should have gotten sprayed then had a meltdown over it
>pool scene with the cop is bugged and forever repeatable>Yrliet teleports out immediately after her meditation scene instead of staying at the pool>can't invite Ulfar to the pool at all

>>553213597>Yrliet teleports out immediately after her meditation scene instead of staying at the poolYeah I have that bug too.
Is there a special condition I need to meet to gift Marazhai to Kibbles?
Does anyone have that one Ember webm
>marzipan sends abelard a gift in the epilogueWhat the fuck man.I'm reloading a save and sending the inquisition a gift.
Why do game devs like Cohhcarnage so much?
Did Abelard really impregnate a bl*ck w*man?
Who?

is being a bad guy fun in BG 2 ?I am already beginning to regret picking a LG paladin character everyone keeps bitching about it from jaheria to viconia
>>553222070No.
>>553221342Thank fuck I killed this fucker on the arena.Also - is Cumrag supposed to be a deliberate throwback to Ust Natha in BG2? Because it was almost working.

Yrliet spent the elantach's final days with {mf|him|her}, and when the time came for death to place its hand on the Rogue Trader's shoulder, she sank into {mf|his|her} world one last time. The elantach, young again, looked at her and smiled. Tears burned Yrliet's skin, and then the dim light of the human soul faded. Yrliet touched the elantach's wrist to check {mf|his|her} pulse. She closed her eyes, sighed, and left the von Valancius protectorate, never to return.Shoddy work

BG1 is entirely skippable and not relevant to that anon's question, find a better shtick than to cry about BG2 every time it's mentioned
What are your favorite custom companion mods for BG1 and 2?
>>553219536Yes. After Quatarina, Abelard developed a furious case of jungle fever.
>>553225947No one actually thinks this.
Imo BG2 has better writing, story and companions than BG3. But everything else is better in BG3.
>>553227732non-romanceable BG2 companions are barely developed and there are way too many of them
>>553222004what did you expect? he's talking to redditors and gamers that lurk reddit
>>553221884bump. nobody here played SKALD?am i fucking myself by going deep into skills like diplomacy at the start
>>553221884>>553228461I just winged it with a notClericI don't think Diplomacy comes up much iirc, its fairly combat oriented
>>553228461It's been a long time since I played Skald, but iirc there's a lot of combat and not a lot of chances to use diplomacy at the beginningIf you can, do try to go more balanced instead of just putting everything to diplomacy, since you can't speak your way out of the jaws of eldrich horrors etc.
>>553225682Thanks broSolasta is way longer than i've expected, does feel like an adventure.
>>553221630I hate your fucking shitty ugly lizard posts, solastafag
>>553225947I agree in certain ways. BG1 has a better feeling of adventure and exploration where BG2 is more "on rails". BG1 has a better narrative arc that unfolds as you learn more, where BG2 bludgeons you with "KILL THE BAD WIZZERD". BG1 feels good (as long as you appreciate higher stakes low-mid level combat) the whole game through vs BG2 becoming a real slog in the lategame/ToB.ToB itself is a big piece of shit really, compared to TotSC which is really fun aside from werewolf island.BG2 obviously has some points but I'd say it boils down to character bants and interaction (very much missing in BG1) and Athkatla itself being really cool.So >>553227572Yes, some people do actually think this.

It is still funny to me when "pre-alpha" gameplay looks near identical to release gameplay.
We just cannot catch a break. Just before we arrived in what we thought would be a little sanctuary, I foolishly let some strangers join with us and work for supplies. The next morning we had no supplies. "Oh well no problem", I thought, "Boersgard is only a day's travel."Now, we find the city in a very sorry state, with evidence of slaughter, the mayor in hiding, mercenaries filling in for guard and worst of all: an empty market."We'll just spend some months tearing down the city and building boats", is the best idea any of us can come up with, while the terrifying Bellower is but a week on our tail.A fine mess we've found ourselves in, but what else is new.
>>553229802I've got cute orc wifus too
>>553230184I'll sign up if it's still available. I've actually played SF with my group.
>>553231132It's for k*ckstarter backers
I think Krumr's ability to move someone up in initiative could work well with Rook's Marked Prey.Basically Krumr gets adjacent to the enemy and passes the turn to Rook who causes himself and Krumr to attack the enemy.Truthfully, I haven't been able to make good use of Krumr but I easily see how his ability at Rank 3 is powerful, with no range limit.It does seem to be that 5 is the upper limit for heroes, which might have influenced some decisions if I'd known that before. Oh well, life itself doesn't offer perfect information I guess.
swen is modeling fully rendered lizard cloacas as we speak and that's how you thank him?
QRD on interview
>>553231836I'm so thankful plebbit exists
>>553231836I still don't know how to feel about Trazyn of all people. I have a feeling he was mandated by the GW, similarly to the Arbites.
so hows the detective work in the dark heresy alpha? is it just for show and they'll handhold you to the right solution or do you actually have to look around and ask the right questions and interact with the game mechanics
>>553232241You have to look around and ask questions, but the Alpha does also offer what I presume are the "correct" solutions at the end when it tells you how your choices affect thingsYou have to go out of your way to see these "correct solutions" though, with the game labeling them as "insider investigations" or some such that are crossed over until you click on the text. In the Alpha at least it's made to basically read like your choices affect what happens, but the Inquistion then does their own, more in-depth investigations. No clue if it'll work like that in the full game though.
>>553230775you have to be very careful now or you could potentially end up loosing few named heroes like krumrdon't worry too much about your villagers and fighters you can afford to loose a few of them but not your heroes
>>553231836I DON'T CARE GIVE ME DELDAR MOMMY NOW!!!
>>553231718>eyvind and hogun interesting choices why aren't you using erik or egil ?just a heads up upgrade rook or allete to the max before the final bellower fight
>>553233056I will just keep playing how Rook would. Like I knew letting those randos join up was a bad idea, but he's that kind of person.We've already lost some heroes. Gunnulf came to an unfortunate end, and after some bad decisions or consequences, Eirik headed back to Strand (?) accompanying some common folk making the journey, no clue what happened to him, maybe we'll cross paths again.I defended the wall here twice, because if the wall fell, then the dock riots, caravan splitting, and any other problem would be minimal next to the flood of dredge.
>>553232241>looped around to niggas asking for puzzles that take even longer and require more steps
>>553233540Hogun and Mogun have indominable spirit! Eirik left at some point, and we never came across someone named Egil.I don't have enough Renown to upgrade anyone, the journey here was a very rough one.I didn't realize it was a final fight, but okay.
>>553229125>>553229110all right, thanks anons. >It's been a long time since I played Skald, butam i in for a good time?

>>553232040>I have a feeling he was mandated by the GW,GW is really, really trying to turn Wh40k into a multimedia franchise that is all about a cast of superhero-esque characters who are the only thing that matters. They are trimming down the 'cast' to a small number of main characters who are scheduled to appear in basically every game, book, comic etc. Necrons are basically reduced to "that race that the quirky chungus Trazyn belongs to", eldar are just mincemeat that appears in the story to be wrong and die, Ultramarines ate the spotlight of every other SM chapter (outside of Blud Ravens who got grandfathered into DoW4 and Space Wolves who are still coasting on their previous surge of publicity), Imperial Guard got homogenised into Cadian lookalikes (except for Krieg and even those are quietly but insistently pushed into obscurity), Primarchs and their faggot drama completely subsumed Imperium as a whole, etc.GW sees that you don't need to focus on the world and factions to make money. They are pivoting away from "it's all about your army, paint it how you want and imagine lore for it" because there's MUCH MORE money to be made off of secondaries.
>>553241306The whole thing was a painstaking slog. When the game told me that I'm supposed to kill a giant briar owlbear with 3 characters I just turned it off and never came back again.
>>553242013>30 hours in, still have not figured any way to engage in battels than going in front and swinging a stickSure
>>553242136You shouldn't need anything else if your combat system is actually good. Gimmicks are dogshit game design.
>>553236327Sure were spooky scary zerg. Immune to fire and cold, so no classic spells dps. And Itself does 1d10 fire retaliation. Can't believe my dragonborn fire res ancestry actually was useful.Summon elementals mpv, bugs almost killed two 100+ HP ones
>>553242263>Did not manage to build a character who can tank really high AB enemiesSo you suck at optimizing builds for a specific thing AND at engaging with the rest of the game mechanics.What do you even do?
>>553232040Trazyn is the the most universally liked character in the setting and can appear anywhere and anytime with little explanation, it's no wonder they're using him
>>553242263>tacitly confirming that anon's intuition about your controller-chewing retard tendenciesHahahahaha.I think this genre just might not be for you, friend-o.
>>553242263>Gimmicks are dogshit game design.Did you just want every enemy to be a bloated stat monster?
>>553241930>because there's MUCH MORE money to be made off of secondaries.may we see it?
>>553242136I did the 300 thing I normally do in rtwp slop and over time advanced though things. The briar owlbear was the straw that broke the camel's back. Maybe I could have done it, rest and pre buff and pre summon a ton of skeletons but at this point I was too drained to continue.
>>553242373oh shi-
Time to end this.
>>553242785>I did the 300 thing I normally do in rtwp slopWhy do you even play said games then?I don't get it

>>553242770If you follow the news, yeah, you may see it. New minis are met with barely lukewarm responses (not to mention people are just less likely to buy minis en masse in general these days, and GW constantly rising prices because they refuse to change their dogshit business and production practices), people absolutely DETEST the new approach to codex balancing and, for no reason at all, GW increases push for BL books and starts giving out license for vidya, animation and even live action, all in span of basically two years. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
>>553242589>the most universally liked characterOnly because of all the heehee quirky memes that secondaries are so fond of.
>>553244123they have a loooooooong way to go before the secondary media overtakes model sales
>>553244458what does core mean?All the figurines, paints, their own subs, etc.?
>>553238850fuck off to /v/
>>553244458It's growing fast, and GW barely even started yet. You literally posted evidence yourself.I guess you confused GW pivoting into something else because they see the potential with said something already being the main thing?
>>553241930>that race that the quirky chungus Trazyn belongs toHard disagree. Necrons went through changes the most.>eldar are just mincemeat that appears in the story to be wrong and dieAlways this way with the brief exception of the ynnari>Ultramarines ate the spotlight of every other SM chapterAlways been this way with the brief exception of 2nd when blood angels fit in better with the blood red goblin green aesthetic
>>553244458people really buy minis huh
I will destroy your mini dollies!
I’m replaying dos2 again for the 4th time….It’s my most played crpg there is just something addicting about its designThe classes are so unbalanced thoughWhat the fuck were they thinking with necromancer
>>553245858>Necrons went through changes the mostThose changes were ten years ago. By now no one even remembers a single named Necron character outside of Shartzin.
>>553244458so it's dollyfags whining about 40k dolly smooching?
>>553246678>The classes are so unbalanced though>What the fuck were they thinking with necromancerI hope you were here when they had 25k HP boner spiders. That was fun. Classes just felt undercooked imho, even Summoner is closer to some warlock with a familiar. Cool that it becomes a giant monster and rank 10 though.
>>553246941First it was imotech dabbing on helbrecht then the silent king and now destroyer cults. Trazyn shows up every now and again so assume he is something of a constant.

>>553161980Living on the edge can cheese everything in the game, especially fights like that where the enemies have no ccYou can also leave combat with some characters to heal if you are desperate Otherwise just respec to improve your builds if you ate struggling and dont be afraid to use consumables

I have all the improved chance to hit shit, a plethora of buffs, and in act 3 I either stomp or cannot hit a single thing in an encounter. I managed to kill the dude in the hut who throws axes but how am I meant to actually be stacking buffs? Should I turn on the respec option and try fixing some things?General party is>Overwhelming sorc lich with the vanguard skeleton. The skeleton can survive and my main character hits regularly, has access to lots of buffs, and overall seems to be built well>Wenduag is a demonslayer ranger, all points but the first put into it so far. I have the centipede companion which I read later was shit but it does alright and can rush backlines easy enough>Regil is his base classes. Focusing on the gnome hammer and lots of hits. He can hit shit he smites but misses so many other enemies>Daeren is his base class wit ha focus on healing. He provides lots of pre encounter buffs and overall is doing his job wellLast 2 slots I flex, but I have the dwarf slayer right now, not leveled up much, and I had woljif but traded him out for Vaughn. Woljif seemed to do more but was super squishy. I've also been using camellia but I'm too new or birdbrained to understand shaman's appealHow can I make my experience better? How do you deal with enemies with buckets of AC, so much that I can never hit them?

Holy fuck is that Act 4 Jae quest pure cancer.Which Owlkek thought that making a stealth mission in a game that doesn't comprehend stealth was a good idea?
>>553248261Only their official line has changed. They will keep using it behind closed doors because who's going to stop them?
>>553251762Swen would never lie to us
>>553251587Thanks, I was thinking I should start to go to bed earlier.
>>553251738Anon you can just bring your favorite tsundere elf to snipe everyone. It doesn't count as getting caught if they die in one hit
>>553251762I mean from reading the other answers in the ama everyone other than swen was like>this shit is useless lmao
>>553251738People say this often but it's not as bad as people think. For one, not having a "stealth meter" that fills when people are looking at you is more realistic. People don't take several seconds to recognize that a person is standing in front of them. Gamers have been spoiled by unrealistic "stealth mechanics".Second, you can just shoot them. If you have a sniper that has high one-hit damage, just shoot the sentries. If they die in one hit they don't alert anyone. Which is also realistic. I think a lot of people forget that you can shoot outside of combat, but it makes this mission a breeze if you have a sniper character.
>>553251874>my multibillion dollar company would never lie to me>>553251975Swen is the head honcho who gets the final say and his answer was fucking evasive, saying they'd keep using it as as it was trained on Larian data only (lmao), they're not dropping their AI department just because twitter/reddit cried a bit
>>553225947>>553227572I actually think this. Even though bg2 does literally everything better, the timing of the first few acts irks me so badly it diminishes the effect of the game. DA:0 had the exact same problem.>>553227732A modded bg2 has better combat. Having to breach through multiple mage defenses before they incinerated your party was always fun. No fantasy game has come close to that feeling.>>553229929BG2's stronghold quests were all fantastic.
>>553252061>People don't take several seconds to recognize that a person is standing in front of them. you clearly do not interact with old people or junkies
>>553252715>BG2's stronghold quests were all fantastic.Yeah I did like having to deal with peasantry issues every week as a fighter dude who doesn't care about Nalia's estate, I wonder where Kingmaker got the inspiration for their shitty minigame

Sawyer x Yrliet
Jae's stealth segment filters shitters, much like Jae herself.
>>553251124Regill is not an optimizable character, wendog has pretty good stats for martial and can't into anything else. It's harder to give advice if you dont say exactly where you are in the game cause the more levels you have the easier the game is in general
>>553225241Looks like you still get the generic "just friends" which is what that first one is, then followed by the proper ones
>>553253914You can pivot Reg to be usable on Daring since enemy numbers do not skyrocket, but it requires either multiclassing(monk/sohei or a mounted class in general, gifting him bismuth so he is mobile and tankier while getting fighter progression or making him complimentary domain support with hellknight 8 (so nobility is added to the buff stack).This works up to hard too.No real point in unfair though
I should ask AI to generate some money to buy a game that used AI in its development, I think this is reasonable.

swen is the party paladinsawyer is the party bard
>>553251124Get the buff mod. The game is all about stacking buffs and synergy. Can't hit a target? Do you have mark of justice up? Guarded hearth from the community domain? Do you even have a skald? What about stacking witch and shaman curses? Once you know how to stack buffs it's a lot easier. Except for landing spells on unfair. That's actually impossible.

>>553251124One problem might be not adjusting your approach or tactics for enemy weaknesses. If you aren't choosing what to do based on their will/fort/reflex then you're doing it wrong.Especially with lich, make use of ability damage when you can. Knocking down a character's Str will drop their damage and to-hit if they're melee. Dropping Dex will drop their AC in many cases, as well as their Reflex save. Attacking CON will of course drop their AC and also make Fort stuff land even easier.And it goes without saying to look at AC vs Touch AC. And if you can get them flat-footed that's even better.Pay attention to small details as you notice them, ie Entangle will cause a not-trivial chance for spellcasters to fail, landing a Hold is auto-hit (and some big advantage to crit, or something like that) as well as a free Coup de Grace. That's what I've noticed most about players new to WotR, they have their one approach instead of tailoring what they do according to the enemy they're facing.Final note, hover/right click on lines in the status bar to see why you're not landing or getting hit more than expected. Could be that you're not understanding something like that one anon who was negating his whole Dex AC bonus by wearing Heavy Armor.
>>553252715>BG2's stronghold quests were all fantastic.No, they really weren't. I say this as someone who loves BG2. Some are passable, the sphere for instance, but most are just one-off shitty side quests, like the thief one, which was probably the most disappointing.

>>553259248>One problem might be not adjusting your approach or tactics for enemy weaknesses.>That's what I've noticed most about players new to WotR, they have their one approach instead of tailoring what they do according to the enemy they're facingNTA but the "problem" here is that you can genuinely just use a hammer to beat everything. if it doesn't, it just means your hammer isn't big enough. Sure you can try to design a character with multiple types of CCs and such to exploit weaknesses, but why bother if you can just finetune one type and use it on everything.
Is solasta not some random shit game? It came around the same time as bg3 and I never touched it
>now that we are off the island im ready to tell you everything>except that
>>553260354>Sure you can try to design a character with multiple types of CCs and such to exploit weaknesses, but why bother if you can just finetune one type and use it on everythingWell, for one thing, that sounds boring as hell.
>>553260617A lot of people enjoyed Solasta, especially as a multiplayer 5e simulator, but it's got some value as a single player game too.You would have no idea if this is the case if all you have to go on are the retard anons throwing a fit about how much they hate the "UI"
>>553261307If they wanted people to play it why did they make it look so shit?
>>553261307>5e simulatorWho the fuck wants to play a game that is just that? Do you think bg3 was popular because it was a 5e simulator? Do you think wotr was popular because it was a pf1 simulator?
>>553260617It's garbage. Terrible story, terrible characters, terrible world building, the WORST UI and aesthetics/art direction in any CRPG ever made, and to top it all off, your reward for slogging through all of the above is decent encounter design and the bare bones garbage that is 5E character building and combat. Absolutely worthless game, it's mind boggling that anyone can play it and like it.

>>553263160It looks like she has the negotiator pistol on her left hip, and it looks like the hilt of a light sword on her right. So I'd give her the noble sword and any pistol, the negotiator if you have it. This is the same set up that the guy on the cover art has.

>>553251124>Every fight I have to put on 50 buffs and even then I miss shit half the timeIt means you have a weak party build.No, you don't need to have some dip monstrosity on everything for a good build. You are probably missing the essentials: outflank, crusader's edge for damage, morale (heroism)/luck (cleric)/competence (bard/community domain)/sacred (class specific)/untyped (from mythic path and class specific)/insight (gear and quarry stuff) buffs, legendary proportions/frightful aspect, ranger team-wide untyped buffs, greater invisibility.Essentials are easy to miss if you don't know the system.Naturally skeleton doesn't get much of those because he's not a humanoid but he gets something lich-specific.Wendu and Greybor are your main hitters because they have straight bab with big untyped bonuses from class.Regill should get weapon mastery gloves for untyped bonus. With outflank and Greybor they can shred things fast.Woljif won't hit shit unless you invis him or give him mythic light armor focus for big + to catch up with martials.Sometimes also not hitting AC is a solution too when you just fish for nat 20 with autocrit buffs and you just dunk them for 100-200 damage on crit every nat 20. But that's for unfair mostly.Also, by act 3 you can already have greater enduring spells on your cleric to make everything but short buffs (of which you need only haste and invisibility) last a day.
