It's the better word to describe plebs in the Imperium. A serf is specifically a person legally bound to the land and their lord who is often little better than a slave, while generally most imperials have on paper a little more liberty than that. Mostly because nobles can't be assed to micromanage all the people they lord over.
The only place I know of in 40k that regularly uses it is in the context of imperial knights who double down on the medieval nobility wank. And they are a tiny proportion of the wider imperial population.
Finally got an AI-slop portrait that my perfectionist moron brain likes. Now to sit in character creation for 3 hours straight making my dude.
Question for you anons. Does anyone know how versatility stacks from Arch-militant interact with psyker powers? I want to make a guy that swaps between blasting magic and shooting guns and it seems like the perfect archetype for it. Assuming the versatility stacks actually do generate with psyker abilities like I'm hoping.
Ok how the frick do I get rid of of injuries early on? I'm at the second location in Act 1 and found a grand total of 4 or so medicae kits. So the ones in the prologue.
Do I just leg it back to my ship every time?
Scions of Lorgar> Footfallen>Semper Servientes> Voidborn>Hanged man's lot> NOMOS are here>Martyr's Endurance>Edge of Daybreak> The Great Sleeps is Over
Navigators do the heavy lifting but they would be all but lost without the Astromonican, a gigantic psychic lighthouse on Terra that is very useful for them to navigate with.
His body is all but dead but his spirit is very, VERY alive. He can empower the faithful to do miracles but it's mostly reserved for the most excessively pious, like sisters of battle. His main job is keeping the Astronomican running which allows for safe(ish) warp travel and keeping the secret broken webway portal under his throne shut.
>His main job is keeping the Astronomican running
I liked it more when the emps was highly implied to really be dead and the Astronomican is shining because they literally kill thousands of psykers every day to keep it running with the corpse acting only as a conduit of sorts
I know he gets literal daemons these days and shit but its just part of the effort to make 40k more appealing to the normies
SoB performing miracles and having living saints has been in the game since forever

>SoB performing miracles and having living saints has been in the game since forever
Except for two facts that you dishonestly omitted.
Fact 1) It's proven that Faith Powers do not come from the Warp
Fact 2) Corrupted Chaos sisters can still use faith powers
All "magic" in 40k is either warp based or technology so superior it seems like magic.

The Pariah Nexus lore is more recent the crux point of that war is that Necron Pylons cannot shutdown faith powers much to the confusion of the Necrons who have never encountered the like of these manifestations before.
Heck, even one of the Tau psychic races told the Ethereals that Faith Powers do not come from the Warp.

Are you an idiot? Nurgle gave zero fricks about the Emperor. He took his armies elsewhere. The Emperor is not a threat.
You know who also burned Nurgle's Garden? Draigo.
His spiritual form reduced to the mortally wounded old king.
When Guilliman met him he was barely able to form "go do something" order, when Lion met him he was barely able to form a single thought
But he will be clonned soon.
The broken portal under his throne that he's been holding shut for 10,000 years opens and a warp storm consumes the solar system, and the astronomican goes out. Which would absolutely be game over for the Imperium and by extension mankind. So then the only possible saving grace would be hoping that Big E has grown in power enough that when his soul is finally freed from his body he ascends as a true deity and can frick up chaos.

The meager worshippers the chaos gods have made them this powerful in the physical world. Realistically with all that worship and all those sacrifices the big sperg should be strong enough to just whip his wiener out and slap all the 4 chaos gods with it in one go.

Before the war in heaven the warp was calm, sometimes dangerous, relatively easy to manipulate. Pretty tranquil. Just a sea of emotions, some good, some bad. Some predators, but nothing THAT dangerous.
Then 100 quadrillion people in the galaxy died screaming in rage while entire solar systems exploded.

You do understand that the new lore state that the Warp was never calm and that the Eldar and Orks were created as weapons against the Chaos Gods and not the Necrons? The Eldar even allied with the ancient Necrontyr against Chaos.
In the Asurman novel, it's shown that the Chaos Gods are as ancient as the Eldar own gods.

First, nulore. Nulore is shit. That's an accepted basis. If you don't accept the most basic of a common ground for conversation, that nulore is shit, then it's like you adamantly saying the sky is green. We can laugh at you, we can't have a really fruitful conversation.
Then: the Chaos Gods were always older than the Eldar gods. That's kinda the point. The war in heaven is difficult to accurately timeline, but it goes like this:
- (Tons of shit with Necrontyr and C'tan and stuff)
- The Old One are taking a beating like there is no tomorrow.
- The Chaos Gods are created because septillion deads.
- The Old One creates the Eldars and the Krorks to fight for them.
- The Eldars creates their own Gods to protect them from the Chaos Gods.

That's wrong on so many levels even if we go with the old lore. The Liber Chaotica explains how the Eldar Gods were created and it has nothing to do with Chaos.
Anyway, according to the new lore, the Old Ones were clashing against the Chaos Gods for billions of years. The War in Heaven only happened 60 million years ago.
So there's a hulk that you investigate in the second chapter that's full of mad tech priests, the immaterium is manifesting itself in that specific ship in the form of visions that come to reality.
Basically that but spread trough the entire galaxy with Tera as the epicenter. The fun begins.

He literally burnt down nergals garden and told him that he was coming for the chaos gods while nergal hid in his manse like a b***h.
Before the Papa Smurf and Archmary Sue Cawl plotline, it is left ambiguous. Big E is alive, in the sense that he's technically alive in the Golden Throne, and his psychic powers are still there, guiding the astronomican.
How much he's alive is left extremely ambiguous though. He has not spoken to anyone in 10,000 years, there are points in the Imperium history when he "could" have spoken to faithful, but it's never very sure. He there, he's alive, no one knows if he's conscious or able to do shit.
All the weird things around him and faith could easily be explained by warp shenanigans. You don't need the Emprah conscious to make Living Saints or the Legion of the Damned or miracles. As long as pretty much all the Imperium believes he's a God, it's enough of weight in the warp to make things happen.
Then Papa Smurf and Archmary Sue Cawl came, and nowadays the Emperor is very conscious and able to fight Chaos God 1v1. In nulore he's like a verified God that sometimes slap Greater Daemons for fun. But then it's nulore. How much it's canon is for you to decide.
Before nu-GW fricked it up, it was the Imperium's foundational myth and almost nobody left alive knew if it was true; he could have been dead or the throne room could have been empty.
>Is the Emperor alive?
The emperor is barely alive thanks to the golden throne.
If he was allowed to properly die, he'd immediately come back to life, since he's probably a perpetual. >Does he intervene
Yes.
Perpetual cannot heal soul damage or Warp damage.
Malcador was Perpetual. He cannot revive from Magnus killing him by burning him with a rage Warp inferno. He needed Alivia to breath her life into him to revive..
Is argenta "winded" or debuffed otherwise?
Does that soldier have high dodge?
Is he buffed somehow?
Lots of things can change hit chance, positioning is one of many.
The game puts stats, builds and buffs on the same level as positioning, it's a CRPG, not a pure tactical game.
I like the sound of that. I hate pre-buff heavy games because it forces you to either save scum when playing blind against every encounter you can't see on the map beforehand (or depending on the game, the buff losing duration while out of combat)
If I recall correctly, when you burst fire normally, the first shot will always be fired along the middle line. When you activate this, even the first shot has to roll for deviation.
I cant remember if you need to continually be on fire or just cast it on yourself once for the buff though. The Cape would still be good to spread inferno to everyone though
Is Assassin the most multi stat hungry class? Cassia's Officer buffs give a lot of stats across the board so it seems best to be buffing a character who gets the most use out of them.
Do not target people in cover.
Have an officer buff her the moment she will really unload (like a heroic act turn).
If she is your main damage dealer, pick specifically officer talent that boosts ballistics.
She is not a sniper, she is mid range mower.
There are many talents and abilities that debuff wide groups of enemies (cassia loves to do this)
You probably want to buff her with an Officer that took the Focus! talent if you want to use bolter Argenta on high difficulties. Her BS is mediocre at base. A custom character could have 55 base BS while she has 45, and every point matters when using a Bolter.
>making character >doing a psyker that uses a lot of luck based shit >get to archetype >not a single fricking archetype fits an offensive caster
???
you have melee, support, guns, but nothing for casters
It's a consequence of Archetypes being learned roles and selectable mid game but being a Psyker is something you're by and large born with. So it's moved into Origins. You'll be able to advance your Psi Level and such to grow as a Psyker. Honestly having Psykers in more of a support or buffing role is in keeping with the setting. It's less common to just try to blast the shit out of everything, especially with sanctioned psykers, since that's much more dangerous and often little more effective than a big fricking gun. Imperial Psykers often specialize in things like Telepathy, Divinitation, and other subtler effects.
Operative works fine since exploits give damage to your spells too, and tactical knowledge is a very strong ability for self buffing damage. Will be even more busted once they fix tides of excellence.
I realize its a broad question but how are the 2nd set of archtypes? Hitting a bit of decision paralysis now that I have to choose what 2nd class people are all going into. I got an idea for a few of them but are there recommendations for which one each companion should take?
Why is trading so complicated? Still not sure how it works but in the first area I found a ship to trade with and had to trade resources to gain reputation which then unlocked another level of stuff I could get but I could only get them if my buying power was high enough? Not even sure if I'm actually spending anything other than resources when I do that.
That's exactly how it works. You don't spend profit factor but you need it high enough and rep high enough to redeem the items from the traders. I assume most of the limiting factor here is more getting a high enough rep with a faction and profit factor acts more like a time game.
You spend the resources to get Reputation, which unlocks new items for sale.
You can get any item for sale as long as your Profit Factor is above the item's cost. Profit Factor is a permanent resource, you never lose it.
The order you do your quests matters. The longer you postpone a given mission, the worse the situation on a given planet gets. If you do the prison last, you'll just arrive to a complete shitshow with everybody dead and mad heretics roaming around.
If you do Eurac early you can loot some valuables from it. If you go to prison first you can meet with the guy who is otherwise tortured. Don't know for Rykard though. I would suggest Eurac first because Cassia is extremely powerful.
Not really and it does not matter it does not ruin anythyng. I am honestly think it is not even bug just weird decision from Owlcat. You can start romances with others and it seems flirting with anyone makes you able to end relationship with them despite being only at the start.
never played a owlcat crpg

am i fricked? playing on daring
Depends, definitely willpower if you're going pyromancer, telepath, or biomancer for heals since those actually have willpower scaling on their abilities. Far as I can tell, diviner mostly scales off perception instead, and sanctic with resolve.
Love 40k, hate turn based games. Can I learn to enjoy a new genre for this? Or is it mediocre all around? If the RPG is good enough I may be able to stomach the awful gameplay.
>Play on Daring >First enemies on Rykard hit for 20, barely ever miss, even against cover, and each one dodges half the shit thrown at them >The gunners all fire burst weapons from the back where you can't get to them with ANY character, and Argenta can't even shoot back properly becauase she sucks at at

I'm a lore autist and in all the games I like to play I want my party members to be the strongest lore-wise. Who'd they be in RT? >MC >Cassia >Idira/Heinrix >Yrilet >Drukhari guy >Space wolf?
I had an idea of how I was gonna roleplay this. Take nothing but dogmatic decisions act one, then act two meet the elf and love softens and what not, all that gay shit.
Issue being that there's quite a few times when the iconoclast decision is just plain the far more fitting one even if you're a zealot.
Honestly so far, the iconoclast dogma has been way too naive in my opinion. I'm trying to balance things between it and dogmatic but I'm having a hard time balancing the scales and not going all in on the religious path.
>Also can you actually fall to chaos during the game?
Yes, there is a parallel Chaos path running through the game, it allows you to do shit that wouldn't have been available otherwise - like taming a daemon on that possessed mechanicus ship and other things.
Like how what? Iconoclast being better
Well, off the top of my head When you confront the governess of Janus, the iconoclast decision speed you give her to make her see how much she fricked up sounds way more like a dogmatic logic, but maybe that's me.
>make her see how much she fricked up
No mercy for the wicked and all that, that's why it's iconoclast (benevolenta)

No, he gets on your case if you spare the governess of Janus. Although I think that was because I walked out of the room before realizing there was a secret way to bring up the walls so I could go in for the final fight.
What can an unsanctioned psyker brings to the party is overshadowed by the fact that she's:
* FRICKING UNSANCTIONED
* Also a druggy
* And also close to being possessed.
I'd have liked her far more if she had been, you know, SANCTIONED. I'd be far more open to her continued existence, even hearing warp voices drugged to the gill, if she had been SANCTIONED.
They really didn't have to make her unsanctioned. I don't see what it brings to the character, except force me to kill her as soon as possible.
I think they wanted to explore both avenues with her and Heinrix.
She's an interesting character I'm going to spare her like the fricking sap that I am. Can't wait for this to blow up in my fricking face.
>They really didn't have to make her unsanctioned.
That's not the problem, 40k has plenty of examples of VERY capable and well adjusted unsanctioned psykers.
The issue is that she's introduced as some hobo enjoying her high on space jenkem, but then says it's all cool because she's been drinking regularly.
>That's not the problem, 40k has plenty of examples of VERY capable and well adjusted unsanctioned psykers.
Yes and no. Not really. Unless you count heretics and chaos worshippers as well adjusted. Powerful unsanctioned psykers do tend to appear in stories, true, and when they do, they're almost always playing for the Chaos Gods.
It's a big plot point in the Gaunt novels that the kiddie in the team is a little bit too lucky, which is probably because he's a psyker, and being unsanctioned he should be brought to Terra like yesterday but no one wants to do it. Before the new Saint just lolnope I want to frick the shota he's mine now.
Same with the Eisenhorn novels. Powerful unsanctioned psykers do exist, but they're almost always heretical. And when they feel how "easy" it is to control their powers as long as they worship the Archenemy, well, it's not really an objective viewpoint, now.
The rules for the TRPG agrees. The rules for unsanctioned Psyker in RT are trapped in a secondary book no one has read, and basically boils down to: "do it, you're fricked".
>Unless you count heretics and chaos worshippers as well adjusted.
I do, case in point the unsanctioned ones in the Eisenhorn and Ravenor Omnibuses, I mean the ones that keep bodying the protags, not the ones at the Thracian Atrocity.
They're reliable and reasonable, seeing how they are perfectly capable of either infiltrating the higher echelons of society or operating in the backgrounds for at least several decades. And then just doing their job or deleting randos.
Meanwhile Idira is just some random alcholic Skid Row escapee who can maybe help you out in space blackjack if you can spare some crew to get melted into the walls.
Yes she is good damage dealer againts large groups. And she is reliable when it comes to warnings about what is coming She seems also very loyal to you personally if you kind to her.
>picked forge world >decided to take heavy armor >at the end of tutorial realized heavy armor requires 45 strength >only has 30

What i would do is pump perception, ballistics and agility.
Base intelligence should be enough, since you can get a crime lord feat that gives you another stack whenever you kill an enemy, and another that gives you a stack when you start your turn with no stacks.
Of course, you could also go operative with a similar thing. I am unsure which is better, but i was planning on going soldier since i wanted to follow up with arch-militant on my planned crime lord build.
If you insist on using intelligence, definitely make it an operative though.
Ok so when and how does Argenta get more useful?
Got through the prologue, got Cass, just finished the prison with the schizo, we're at lvl 7. Fights basically consist of me as party face melee Commissar and Abelard chopping up mooks while the rest keep buffing or missing.
Has anyone found a bicorne/tricorne helmet? I want to make a pirate looking character, but naval officer's hat get instantly replaced by any helmet and using the helmet not visible option also deletes the default bicorne (plus crimelord seems better skillwise and still fits themewise)
I love how the game allows you to be THAT character. The pompous butthole that sits on a throne and tell the guards to send a mook to the dungeon or a firing squad if they failed you for the last time.
I'm tired of every wrpg being either the paladin, neutralman or a psycho (or sometimes a jester, who is still refreshing since it's far rarer that the previous 3)
Kingmaker was pretty good in that regard if you played a chaotic neutral. The way you could roast some people and then double down on it every time you meet them is legendary.
>Pick Biomancer Psyker Officer >Move into Grand Strategist >Use Sniper + Staff for weapon setup >Have yet to do a fight that I can't beat easily save for the Chapter 1 Capstone that almost made me reload
Owlcat actually did a great job with the scaling in this one, I don't feel fricked over by waiting on feats.
I thought about going Pyro first but I like the buffs you can get from Biomancer and I spend most of my AP on buffing early into the fights anyway. I'll keep that idea in mind for my second character though.
I didn't think Henny would be as good or even better than Abelard but holy shit I gave him a thunder hammer as a joke and I don't think it's a joke anymore.
It's better, because it has less buffwank, but worse because sometimes you fight a regiment worth of trash mobs who can shoot you 3 turns of distance away
What weapons should i go for with Navy officer- officer? i'm thinking melee pistol since navy officer wants to be close to allies instead sitting behind the lines
All honesty here lads, I'm fricking shite at CRPGs. I played current board homosexualry magnet BG3 on the ez mode and enjoyed it. Is this fine for a big poof like me, or am I going to get annihilated? If that's the case, fine, it's not meant for me.
Give it a try. The difficulty is insanely customizable - that's something that really should be getting more praise. And the rules themselves aren't that difficult. There is A LOT to take in, but once you figure out the formula, it's downhill from there.
Bros am I safe to run MC as a psyker? Is there a companion psyker and is their story good? Owlcat games always make me regret MC class choice because I always end up picking a class that a companion exists on that I want but don't want double classes.
To be fair, there will always be an overlap with other companions no matter what you roll. Pasqal, Yrliet, Cassia and Woof will always be better than you, because story reasons. Just pick the class that you think is fun and don't worry about it.
it adds a lot of flavour and this game has no real caster class
drop the heretic and become a bash brother with inquisitor in melee
go pyromancer become the fireball
I played him in the beta, so I switched things up.
I saved it for my dogmatic run >melee hive world officer comissar
Or perhaps forge world with heavy armor so he can survive
commissar is sadly all but outright forced to be melee i really wanted to be a ranged commissar but:
i
hate
melee
And even if you want to be melee,psycher is way better at it than commissar
How so? I give my commisar a sniper, chainsword, and bolt pistol and he only every uses the chainsword as a last resort. Fricks shit up with the rest of his stuff
>normal is actually piss easy except for boss fights >want to turn difficulty up >10 hours in >wont get achievement for beating the game on daring difficulty >dont want to start over >just never play the game anymore
Achievements are worthless dopamine buttons. Set your own goals and ignore those of the game, no one cares about your (or anyone elses) achievement page. If you want to for completionist sake, just do it later, play for the fun of it the first time.
Can someone explain how crits are calculated? It seems to be completely random. I had 90% chance to crit before. Does my chance to crit have to do with how overwhelming my characters stats are?
Also can someone explain how warp attacks work? I once had my psychicer explode into a demon but the bar was well below 15? Is there a sheet that shows all the possible out comes?
Crit chance starts at 10% and goes up by however much your accuracy is above 95%. So let's say you have 105% accuracy on a target, you would then have 20% chance to crit them rather than the base 10%.
It's literally on the first planet. Your options are the prision (planetoid is not a planet), space station (not a planet), the ship (not a planet) and a fricking PLANET.
how is the season pass stuff looking? not sure if I should just wait but so far no bugs at all (only got mostly done in the nav station). maybe a meme chaos run in a year when everything is out would be fine
About to finish my dogmatic commisar officer run.
What should I do next? Was thinking of soldier heretic since I dont like psykers. Something that sits in the back sniping shit
Is it just me, or are most of the classes just kind of shit? Warrior is amazing as frick and none of the other classes even seem remotely as good. Officer is kind of useful but only because they give warriors extra attacks. Soldier is like a ranged warrior with half the accuracy and damage (and warriors can run so fricking far the range really isn't even an advantage) and operative is so fricking useless, it's like "if i stack this debuff 50 times I'm still worse than a warrior". Even boss fights do not last long enough to make operatives worth it.
As for the next tier of class... None of them are particularly good either. Most of them have some stupid gimmick that takes turns to build up... But no fight lasts long enough to really even benefit from this.
Assassin is probably the best but only because they just give the warrior more damage and movement which is never useless.
Vanguards need to be hit so many fricking times to even be useful it's stupid. All of their abilities need stacks they only get by being hit and fights are over long before this happens.
Grand Strategist is complete trash. You can't even rotate the areas you place and they are blocked by fricking line of sight, not that the bonus is any good anyway.
Bounty hunter is another gimmicky class that needs to stack stuff but the buffs are bad unless they can kill a fricking boss enemy.
Master Tactician is another class that needs to gain stacks to be useful. They're at least a bit easier to get and they can buff the warrior at least.
And Arch Militant is another fricking class that needs stacks so is mostly pointless.
I just watched my warrior two shot a boss with like 360 hp but you'll still try and tell me noo the other classes are valid and useful because... They take 30 turns to do build up stacks that allow them to do a fraction of this damage?
You are kinda moronic, yes
Officer can boost every characteristic by 20 before you hit chapter 2.
Operative can make a single enemy completely harmless. You will learn to like this on unfair. They not need to be the oens who hurt but they definitely can.
Soldiers are just as good as warriors tying for best heroic hour. You just need to learn to be within actual weapon range and not hit in cover.
>40k setting on the fringes of explored space with endless potential for new civilizations and xeno races >its all tabletop factions
For FRICKS sake, where at least are m Rak'Gol
So how did you guys feel about the chapter 1 final boss? That shit was rough on Daring, had to restart 4 times to have enough health on most my important guys after the homies first fricking turn.
Also frick the sniper, beelined him with argenta and a shotgun to the face
Yeah I did like it too after my initial shock wore off from the absolute bullshit that was him deleting 3 dudes on the first turn. That was my fault though, shit placement
I just had my warrior/pyromancer/forge world main character walk through some fire then 2 shot him. They were admittedly lucky criticals and I'm pretty sure there is some sort of bug with pyromancers orchestrate flame that makes it not only hit twice, but those two hits scale with everything (including crits) and also trigger things that happen on attack so you get triple the effect, but as a boss he was kind of pathetic.
>a psyker, a guy decked in advanced archeotech, a future predicting mutant and a human take down a CSM with cultist support
Its a lot more plausible than darktide at least
3 okay-ish psykers, one of which is a navigator, magos with a plasma rifle, old fleet dude and a bolter b***h are enough to kill some random moron space marine, yes.
Don't read Gaunt's Ghosts then, because there a CSM gets killed by literal jungle ooga booga blowing turbo poison (the kind not even a SM can filter out) darts at him.
How hard is Daring? I like playing on equal ground to the enemies rather than one of the sides having bonus stats just for the sake of it, but i was kinda shit on pathfinder, so i'm not sure what to choose.
My sister of battle companion is hitting like a truck with a las sniper rifle + the support from the fish. It's so good makes me think something is broken.
Will I be needing Willpower resistance in the early game? Just unlocked the first talent pick and wondering if I should bolster my MC's poor WP score by grabbing the Hive World Comradery talent (use FEL to resist WP checks).
If you're buffing fellowship, comradery is great, but otherwise it's not a huge deal to have low willpower. Like in any party RPG it's better to focus on your strengths than trying to cover up weaknesses.
what the frick did you do to get that? I flew back for the tech priest engine and the nobles and didnt get a debuff
Don't remember the exact options because there is a whole list of them and you have to pick a few from the list. I guess the ones I picked resulted in this happening?
I didn't even realize it had happened until the inquisitor guy said "i told you so" while I was travelling somewhere on the ship.
Twice now I have fricked up HARD because something bad has happened in combat, my instinct is to hit space bar to pause, and of course that's an instinct for the wrong fricking game so I actually ended my guy's turn when I still had actions left at a critical part of the fight
Player Character Psyker is so worthless, and you get so little choices unique to being a Pysker, and they give you so many party Pyskers that it's honestly comical how bad you are
Why would you want to become a melee pysker? I want to cast shit from afar and I'm worse at it than everyone else. Iidra and Cassia are two of your firs tcompanions and having more than one psyker casting in combat means you're just getting warped quick
Idira has the unsanctioned psyker bonus, but just picking marksman means you will be better at doing ranged damage soon enough. And pyromancy is very strong if you go that route.
And there is no redundancy in having you and Cassia on the team.
So again, you are a moron who cannot build a character nor a team for shit
Because if you just spam spells demons will rape your ass. Balancing veil deterioration is important, and melee is a good fallback tool to avoid overwarping turn 1
>End of a boss fight >Two guys left, one almost dead >Tell Argenta to attack one >She does the thing to move out from cover to shoot and just stands there, not firing >Can't end the turn manually or anything
FRICK
I don't want to redo this whole fricking fight all over again because of horse shit like this
Has this happened to anyone else, and did you find a way to progress the game without reloading?
Psyker powers are significantly better, and you get so many spare skills/talents you'll get all the good ones anyway and still be stick picking those generic talents anyway.
I'm playing Naval officer operative and want to go Grand strategist. Are the buffs decent enough to not-reroll? I'm afraid the game has the pathfinder problem of some specific builds being trash compared to a few lucky ones who get everything instead.
>That said, Navy encourages melee distance more than ranged, so keep that in mind
Perfect Timing is Navy's strongest talent and it's worthless for melee characters

>peasant
>not serf
ESL writting
It's the better word to describe plebs in the Imperium. A serf is specifically a person legally bound to the land and their lord who is often little better than a slave, while generally most imperials have on paper a little more liberty than that. Mostly because nobles can't be assed to micromanage all the people they lord over.
>It's the better word to describe plebs in the Imperium
Nope because serfs is canonical term from 40k
The only place I know of in 40k that regularly uses it is in the context of imperial knights who double down on the medieval nobility wank. And they are a tiny proportion of the wider imperial population.
And inquisition, and AM, and Administratum and marines
Serfs is proper term in latin languages since Diocletian reforms
space marines have serfs
but these guys pretty much live better than anyone in the imperium, especially in Ultramar

Finally got an AI-slop portrait that my perfectionist moron brain likes. Now to sit in character creation for 3 hours straight making my dude.
Question for you anons. Does anyone know how versatility stacks from Arch-militant interact with psyker powers? I want to make a guy that swaps between blasting magic and shooting guns and it seems like the perfect archetype for it. Assuming the versatility stacks actually do generate with psyker abilities like I'm hoping.
Archmilitant will definitely not work with non-staff powers. I have no clue how it interacts with staff-based powers.
Ok how the frick do I get rid of of injuries early on? I'm at the second location in Act 1 and found a grand total of 4 or so medicae kits. So the ones in the prologue.
Do I just leg it back to my ship every time?
The early sections are so short that you should just ignore the injuries
If you don't have any medkits returning to your voidship is the only other option you have this early
Injuries don't do much compared to trauma anyway.
How would you respond without sounding mad?
The imperium is humanity first, and lbgt are not human.
Sounds like a recommendation to me.

False.
I liked the one with the ex-paladin's ghost in the neverwinter nights 1 expansion. Slightly generic but decent enough for me.
Think abelard would smd if I ordered it?
Finally got second class and damn it's probably the most interesting and unique classes I've seen in CRPG or turn based tactics.
Why would Cassia enjoy the vanilla mating press, while at the same time having no problem with giving anal maybe even liking the pain?
You need to ease her in for her to try anal

is emperor alive or what? does he intervene if shit gets too rough?
Well, the navigation works and the faith magic works so he's not dead dead.
>the faith magic
Nor his doing.
>Well, the navigation works
i thought navigators are for that. at least thats how it was presented here.
Navigators do the heavy lifting but they would be all but lost without the Astromonican, a gigantic psychic lighthouse on Terra that is very useful for them to navigate with.
Yes
His body is all but dead but his spirit is very, VERY alive. He can empower the faithful to do miracles but it's mostly reserved for the most excessively pious, like sisters of battle. His main job is keeping the Astronomican running which allows for safe(ish) warp travel and keeping the secret broken webway portal under his throne shut.
>His main job is keeping the Astronomican running
I liked it more when the emps was highly implied to really be dead and the Astronomican is shining because they literally kill thousands of psykers every day to keep it running with the corpse acting only as a conduit of sorts
I know he gets literal daemons these days and shit but its just part of the effort to make 40k more appealing to the normies
SoB performing miracles and having living saints has been in the game since forever
he's clearly being a word bearer
>SoB performing miracles and having living saints has been in the game since forever
Except for two facts that you dishonestly omitted.
Fact 1) It's proven that Faith Powers do not come from the Warp
Fact 2) Corrupted Chaos sisters can still use faith powers
thought they memed a little faith based arch daemon that gives out the faith powerups?
All "magic" in 40k is either warp based or technology so superior it seems like magic.
Nope. It's stated that Faith Powers are not from the Warp. Necron Pylons, the Shadow in the Warp, and Pariahs cannot shut them down.
>Faith Powers
What? All the Emperors blessings and living saints get shut down when the pylons activate, just like any other warp activity.
Nope. Read the Pariah Nexus lore.
The emperor protects.
It's inconsistent. Like most 40k lore. Fall of Cadia is the general counterexample to this
.
The Pariah Nexus lore is more recent the crux point of that war is that Necron Pylons cannot shutdown faith powers much to the confusion of the Necrons who have never encountered the like of these manifestations before.
Heck, even one of the Tau psychic races told the Ethereals that Faith Powers do not come from the Warp.
>The Pariah Nexus lore is more recent
Okay. It's still inconsistent.
It's not. For 3 editions straight it remained consistent.
>is emperor alive or what
Yes. Here's a short narration of how the emperor saved girlyman from nergal by manifesting himself through a Saint.
?si=FmjhZInxa_lz4TtI
The emperor is immortal.
the emperor is DEAD and has been for a long time, no amount faith in the corpse god will save you from the very real power of the warp
And yet navigators can see his light guiding them trough the warp, how curious
How can he be dead and still talk to people? That doesn't make any sense.
hallucinations by a people driven mad by tyranny. give them freedom, and they will forget all about that madness
old technology from a long time ago, it's just a light. he's dead
Maybe try reading a BL book instead of arguing like a zoomer redditor with absolute nonesense? At least try reading the lexicanum, dude's a battery now and might possibly be a God in the warp.
he's not a God in the warp
literally 0 evidence for it
>Burns a good chunk of Nurgle's garden down
>Makes Nurgle shit his pants while doing so (They were already shat though)
Whether you like new lore or not, whether you accept it as canon or not, this happened in GW's lore and is canon.
Are you an idiot? Nurgle gave zero fricks about the Emperor. He took his armies elsewhere. The Emperor is not a threat.
You know who also burned Nurgle's Garden? Draigo.
>try reading a BL book
No thanks I'm not gay or a w*man
The emperor spoke to Guilliman directly.
>is emperor alive or what?
Define "alive". His body is non-functional, but his soul is definitely still kicking.
Last Lion book pretty much confirms that he is on the edge of fully dying (and probably reborn as warp god)
what exactly does it say?
His spiritual form reduced to the mortally wounded old king.
When Guilliman met him he was barely able to form "go do something" order, when Lion met him he was barely able to form a single thought
But he will be clonned soon.
what happens when he dies?
i run her with longlas (locked room in fish base near cogitator) and a flamer and she's great
shame there's no good bolters
The broken portal under his throne that he's been holding shut for 10,000 years opens and a warp storm consumes the solar system, and the astronomican goes out. Which would absolutely be game over for the Imperium and by extension mankind. So then the only possible saving grace would be hoping that Big E has grown in power enough that when his soul is finally freed from his body he ascends as a true deity and can frick up chaos.
>So then the only possible saving grace would be hoping that Big E has grown in power enough that when his soul is finally freed from his body he ascends as a true deity and can frick up chaos.
The meager worshippers the chaos gods have made them this powerful in the physical world. Realistically with all that worship and all those sacrifices the big sperg should be strong enough to just whip his wiener out and slap all the 4 chaos gods with it in one go.
Gods in 40k don't grow powerful off worship alone, but also by embodying their aspects. Khorne doesn't only feed on violence caused by his warriors, but ALL combat across the galaxy.
Emprah embodies the aspect of order or civilization itself, he should be more powerful than any single one of the 4 chuckle brothers.
last I knew chaos gods 1-3 got buffed from the war of heaven and are coasting on that. slanesh from eldar total galactic depravity. fantasy fricks the timeline but I guess that's gone now
what is "the war in heaven"?
The Old Ones, who created Eldar, Orks and other lifeforms vs the Ctan and their Necron slaves.
how did the chaos gods get stronger from this?
It was a very disorderly affair.
It was the war to end all wars. Gods fell like regular soldiers and the warp was irreversibly scarred. The chaos God's were born from all the negative emotions of this war. Then they retconned themselves into having always existed through chaos frickery.
Before the war in heaven the warp was calm, sometimes dangerous, relatively easy to manipulate. Pretty tranquil. Just a sea of emotions, some good, some bad. Some predators, but nothing THAT dangerous.
Then 100 quadrillion people in the galaxy died screaming in rage while entire solar systems exploded.
And the Chaos Gods kinda just poofed. The warp was never that calm anymore.
>The warp was never that calm anymore.
The emperor will bring order.
You do understand that the new lore state that the Warp was never calm and that the Eldar and Orks were created as weapons against the Chaos Gods and not the Necrons? The Eldar even allied with the ancient Necrontyr against Chaos.
In the Asurman novel, it's shown that the Chaos Gods are as ancient as the Eldar own gods.
>nulore
First, nulore. Nulore is shit. That's an accepted basis. If you don't accept the most basic of a common ground for conversation, that nulore is shit, then it's like you adamantly saying the sky is green. We can laugh at you, we can't have a really fruitful conversation.
Then: the Chaos Gods were always older than the Eldar gods. That's kinda the point. The war in heaven is difficult to accurately timeline, but it goes like this:
- (Tons of shit with Necrontyr and C'tan and stuff)
- The Old One are taking a beating like there is no tomorrow.
- The Chaos Gods are created because septillion deads.
- The Old One creates the Eldars and the Krorks to fight for them.
- The Eldars creates their own Gods to protect them from the Chaos Gods.
That's wrong on so many levels even if we go with the old lore. The Liber Chaotica explains how the Eldar Gods were created and it has nothing to do with Chaos.
Anyway, according to the new lore, the Old Ones were clashing against the Chaos Gods for billions of years. The War in Heaven only happened 60 million years ago.
>what happens when he dies?
Eye of Terror 2.0
Or complete annihilation of solar system if Vulkan kill-switch will work
>what happens when he dies?
So there's a hulk that you investigate in the second chapter that's full of mad tech priests, the immaterium is manifesting itself in that specific ship in the form of visions that come to reality.
Basically that but spread trough the entire galaxy with Tera as the epicenter. The fun begins.
God I want to commission Mr.Culexus to write a Cultist character for the game
I'm just glad to see the story is moving, even if chadmarines were a moneygrab
>When Guilliman met him he was barely able to form "go do something" order, when Lion met him he was barely able to form a single thought
He literally burnt down nergals garden and told him that he was coming for the chaos gods while nergal hid in his manse like a b***h.
Before the Papa Smurf and Archmary Sue Cawl plotline, it is left ambiguous. Big E is alive, in the sense that he's technically alive in the Golden Throne, and his psychic powers are still there, guiding the astronomican.
How much he's alive is left extremely ambiguous though. He has not spoken to anyone in 10,000 years, there are points in the Imperium history when he "could" have spoken to faithful, but it's never very sure. He there, he's alive, no one knows if he's conscious or able to do shit.
All the weird things around him and faith could easily be explained by warp shenanigans. You don't need the Emprah conscious to make Living Saints or the Legion of the Damned or miracles. As long as pretty much all the Imperium believes he's a God, it's enough of weight in the warp to make things happen.
Then Papa Smurf and Archmary Sue Cawl came, and nowadays the Emperor is very conscious and able to fight Chaos God 1v1. In nulore he's like a verified God that sometimes slap Greater Daemons for fun. But then it's nulore. How much it's canon is for you to decide.
Before nu-GW fricked it up, it was the Imperium's foundational myth and almost nobody left alive knew if it was true; he could have been dead or the throne room could have been empty.
>Is the Emperor alive?
The emperor is barely alive thanks to the golden throne.
If he was allowed to properly die, he'd immediately come back to life, since he's probably a perpetual.
>Does he intervene
Yes.
Perpetual cannot heal soul damage or Warp damage.
Malcador was Perpetual. He cannot revive from Magnus killing him by burning him with a rage Warp inferno. He needed Alivia to breath her life into him to revive..
Reminder that Abelard is best boy (man)
who designed this? 45 percent to hit a guy standing in the open?
one step up from normal difficulty and the game is getting moronic
It's not xcom, it's rpg
Check that dude's stats
Dodge stat is a thing.
Is argenta "winded" or debuffed otherwise?
Does that soldier have high dodge?
Is he buffed somehow?
Lots of things can change hit chance, positioning is one of many.
The game puts stats, builds and buffs on the same level as positioning, it's a CRPG, not a pure tactical game.
RT is like WRATH in the sense that the gameplay is all about buffing. The only difference is you buff in combat instead of before.
I like the sound of that. I hate pre-buff heavy games because it forces you to either save scum when playing blind against every encounter you can't see on the map beforehand (or depending on the game, the buff losing duration while out of combat)
same. hate rtwp being required mpstly fpr the pathfinder/d&d games since melee is so boring for them too. really like RT so far
I agree this is much better, but if you are not buffing your squad and debuffing the enemy you are not hitting anything.
Wouldn't be the first time.
>all the shots will follow random trajectories
don't they already do that? i don't understand what that means
they are supposed normally to mostly go middle path
If I recall correctly, when you burst fire normally, the first shot will always be fired along the middle line. When you activate this, even the first shot has to roll for deviation.
Don't get that one, Get the one that increases your damage when doing aoe. It works with burst fire, but more importantly it works with flamer.

noice
I cant remember if you need to continually be on fire or just cast it on yourself once for the buff though. The Cape would still be good to spread inferno to everyone though
Hmm, but burning is important if you are a Pyromancer. I heard there are boots that make you not take damage from burning or something.
ABELARD! PUT THIS MAN INTO MY PAIN DUNGEON AND READY THE ELECTRO WHIPS!
Is Assassin the most multi stat hungry class? Cassia's Officer buffs give a lot of stats across the board so it seems best to be buffing a character who gets the most use out of them.
Probably but Assassins want dodge buffs more than anything which Diviner Psykers can provide too.

why are bolters so bad in this?
because your ballistic skill sucks
i put all her points into ballistic. do i have to wait till later in the game to raise it more for bolers to become usable?
Do not target people in cover.
Have an officer buff her the moment she will really unload (like a heroic act turn).
If she is your main damage dealer, pick specifically officer talent that boosts ballistics.
She is not a sniper, she is mid range mower.
There are many talents and abilities that debuff wide groups of enemies (cassia loves to do this)
You probably want to buff her with an Officer that took the Focus! talent if you want to use bolter Argenta on high difficulties. Her BS is mediocre at base. A custom character could have 55 base BS while she has 45, and every point matters when using a Bolter.
Works on my machine
>making character
>doing a psyker that uses a lot of luck based shit
>get to archetype
>not a single fricking archetype fits an offensive caster
???
you have melee, support, guns, but nothing for casters
i play psyker/officer it's kino
Warrior makes you tanky.
Officer and operative have buffs/debuffs.
wheres the "your spells do more damage" archetype? why do only stupid builds get to do damage?
Some passives are generic damage buffs, like Warrior's Desolation works on ranged attacks so I bet it works on spells too
It's a consequence of Archetypes being learned roles and selectable mid game but being a Psyker is something you're by and large born with. So it's moved into Origins. You'll be able to advance your Psi Level and such to grow as a Psyker. Honestly having Psykers in more of a support or buffing role is in keeping with the setting. It's less common to just try to blast the shit out of everything, especially with sanctioned psykers, since that's much more dangerous and often little more effective than a big fricking gun. Imperial Psykers often specialize in things like Telepathy, Divinitation, and other subtler effects.
Operative works fine since exploits give damage to your spells too, and tactical knowledge is a very strong ability for self buffing damage. Will be even more busted once they fix tides of excellence.
Soldier actually.
Notice that many abilities don't specify that you actually need to shoot something.
flame berzerker build seems to work
very feat heavy tho
makes you feel like youre larping as a salamander too

Why is trading so complicated? Still not sure how it works but in the first area I found a ship to trade with and had to trade resources to gain reputation which then unlocked another level of stuff I could get but I could only get them if my buying power was high enough? Not even sure if I'm actually spending anything other than resources when I do that.
You never actually spend your Profit Factor. It just acts as an indicator of the upper limit of what you can request from merchants.
That's exactly how it works. You don't spend profit factor but you need it high enough and rep high enough to redeem the items from the traders. I assume most of the limiting factor here is more getting a high enough rep with a faction and profit factor acts more like a time game.
You spend the resources to get Reputation, which unlocks new items for sale.
You can get any item for sale as long as your Profit Factor is above the item's cost. Profit Factor is a permanent resource, you never lose it.
>Profit Factor is a permanent resource, you never lose it.
You can if you respec a lot.
Does respec actually cost Profit? I thought you just needed enough.
Should I head for the prison or Rykad Minoris next after Eurac V?
Prison
Why prison 2nd? There's no companion there right?
Rykad is harder so you need the levels.
The order you do your quests matters. The longer you postpone a given mission, the worse the situation on a given planet gets. If you do the prison last, you'll just arrive to a complete shitshow with everybody dead and mad heretics roaming around.
What's the best to leave for last then?
I personally left the AdMech base for the last and it worked out fine. Really, up to you.
Eurac -> Prison -> Rykad
are there any differences in the story depended on the order you do the 3 planets?
If you do Eurac early you can loot some valuables from it. If you go to prison first you can meet with the guy who is otherwise tortured. Don't know for Rykard though. I would suggest Eurac first because Cassia is extremely powerful.
Rykad is hard.
Proson allows you to avoid romance bug
does it really?
How?
lies
Not really and it does not matter it does not ruin anythyng. I am honestly think it is not even bug just weird decision from Owlcat. You can start romances with others and it seems flirting with anyone makes you able to end relationship with them despite being only at the start.
How does burst fire work? Does it even use normal accuracy rules?
Argenta will sometimes hit 3 times on the same target.
Dodge tanking is so much better than it first appears, once you start fighting fewer enemies with lasguns

Depends, definitely willpower if you're going pyromancer, telepath, or biomancer for heals since those actually have willpower scaling on their abilities. Far as I can tell, diviner mostly scales off perception instead, and sanctic with resolve.

Use 4 melee characters and become a wall of death.
Still in character creator, are any of your allies buffbitches or would I be gimping my team by not going for a buffb***h MC?
Cassia and Jae can do it.
Two officers in the team is also not redundant.
And Cassia can go full Navigator talents
Thank you.
Love 40k, hate turn based games. Can I learn to enjoy a new genre for this? Or is it mediocre all around? If the RPG is good enough I may be able to stomach the awful gameplay.

Cassia vs Space Uttar Pradesh
Why did she go to America?
I don't wanna do it. I really don't. I was trying to be nice. But Jesus she really did frick up
yeah, on a real dogmatic run it's hard to let that go
I had an idea of how I was gonna roleplay this. Take nothing but dogmatic decisions act one, then act two meet the elf and love softens and what not, all that gay shit.
Issue being that there's quite a few times when the iconoclast decision is just plain the far more fitting one even if you're a zealot.
Honestly so far, the iconoclast dogma has been way too naive in my opinion. I'm trying to balance things between it and dogmatic but I'm having a hard time balancing the scales and not going all in on the religious path.
Like how? Also can you actually fall to chaos during the game?
>Also can you actually fall to chaos during the game?
Yes, there is a parallel Chaos path running through the game, it allows you to do shit that wouldn't have been available otherwise - like taming a daemon on that possessed mechanicus ship and other things.
Like how what? Iconoclast being better
Well, off the top of my head
When you confront the governess of Janus, the iconoclast decision speed you give her to make her see how much she fricked up sounds way more like a dogmatic logic, but maybe that's me.
>make her see how much she fricked up
No mercy for the wicked and all that, that's why it's iconoclast (benevolenta)
I don't consider it mercy. We were discussing her stupidity and I pointed out an argument to blow her the frick out. The game assumes that's me sparing her with is weird. Even Heinrix gets on my case the naughty boy.
That's just how the Imperium works. No second chances.
I was never planning to spare her. I didn't know what was gonna happen so I took the choice that fit the most. Once I was done blowing her the frick out she was getting headshotted. There's also the factor that if she turns away and repents, she might die but her soul has a chance.
Reminder that even the Emperor said fricking Mortarion could be redeemed.
not the same. primarchs have super souls (did that change?)
Emps also let yiffer supreme take out nerd king.
jimmi gets on your case if you spare idira, or the opposite?
No, he gets on your case if you spare the governess of Janus. Although I think that was because I walked out of the room before realizing there was a secret way to bring up the walls so I could go in for the final fight.
>then act two meet the elf and love softens and what not, all that gay shit.
Oh boy
>dogmatic
My dogma is wealth and greatness, and a seer is gonna help me find it.
Argenta be a dearie and put a rocket trough the heretic skull and make it fast ta-ta
It's just so unnecessary.
What can an unsanctioned psyker brings to the party is overshadowed by the fact that she's:
* FRICKING UNSANCTIONED
* Also a druggy
* And also close to being possessed.
I'd have liked her far more if she had been, you know, SANCTIONED. I'd be far more open to her continued existence, even hearing warp voices drugged to the gill, if she had been SANCTIONED.
They really didn't have to make her unsanctioned. I don't see what it brings to the character, except force me to kill her as soon as possible.
I think they wanted to explore both avenues with her and Heinrix.
She's an interesting character
I'm going to spare her like the fricking sap that I am. Can't wait for this to blow up in my fricking face.
It's the first big sign about what Theodora was willing to do.
>They really didn't have to make her unsanctioned.
That's not the problem, 40k has plenty of examples of VERY capable and well adjusted unsanctioned psykers.
The issue is that she's introduced as some hobo enjoying her high on space jenkem, but then says it's all cool because she's been drinking regularly.
>That's not the problem, 40k has plenty of examples of VERY capable and well adjusted unsanctioned psykers.
Yes and no. Not really. Unless you count heretics and chaos worshippers as well adjusted. Powerful unsanctioned psykers do tend to appear in stories, true, and when they do, they're almost always playing for the Chaos Gods.
It's a big plot point in the Gaunt novels that the kiddie in the team is a little bit too lucky, which is probably because he's a psyker, and being unsanctioned he should be brought to Terra like yesterday but no one wants to do it. Before the new Saint just lolnope I want to frick the shota he's mine now.
Same with the Eisenhorn novels. Powerful unsanctioned psykers do exist, but they're almost always heretical. And when they feel how "easy" it is to control their powers as long as they worship the Archenemy, well, it's not really an objective viewpoint, now.
The rules for the TRPG agrees. The rules for unsanctioned Psyker in RT are trapped in a secondary book no one has read, and basically boils down to: "do it, you're fricked".
>Unless you count heretics and chaos worshippers as well adjusted.
I do, case in point the unsanctioned ones in the Eisenhorn and Ravenor Omnibuses, I mean the ones that keep bodying the protags, not the ones at the Thracian Atrocity.
They're reliable and reasonable, seeing how they are perfectly capable of either infiltrating the higher echelons of society or operating in the backgrounds for at least several decades. And then just doing their job or deleting randos.
Meanwhile Idira is just some random alcholic Skid Row escapee who can maybe help you out in space blackjack if you can spare some crew to get melted into the walls.
I am actually too much of a softie to just BLAM her. I would be a horrible commisar.
BLAMing is cool when it's funny, this is not funny.
Focusing on momentum generation is so busted
>game has a literal free win button

Why is the fight against the governor and her b***h so hard now?
I'll lay claim to the stars
When do you get your first power armor?
Is heavy armor just a worse power armor?
Does Idira have any redeeming qualities?
Yes she is good damage dealer againts large groups. And she is reliable when it comes to warnings about what is coming She seems also very loyal to you personally if you kind to her.
Is psyker fun?
Really week at first, but busted later.

Did I frick up? Should I restart?
Better now than 12 hours in
Talk to your high factotum, no need to restart.
The Iconoclast bonuses seem way better than the other two. Level 4 even gives you a free heroic act at the start of every fight
Rank 3 imperial makes all heroci acts cost 20% cheaper.
Makes it easier to go through 6 of them much faster.
Hereticus final buff is kinda moronic if you have forge world and heavy armor specialty Cause yo ucannot fall prone
Can I larp as an astartes marine? I want to be a walking tank with a hand cannon and a knife

Crime lord soldier stacking int and per to buff sure fire plan any good?
No. Soldier has no use for intelligence.
What i would do is pump perception, ballistics and agility.
Base intelligence should be enough, since you can get a crime lord feat that gives you another stack whenever you kill an enemy, and another that gives you a stack when you start your turn with no stacks.
Of course, you could also go operative with a similar thing. I am unsure which is better, but i was planning on going soldier since i wanted to follow up with arch-militant on my planned crime lord build.
If you insist on using intelligence, definitely make it an operative though.
Aniki…
>Yrliet doesn't even react to my BLAMing Idira

very funny but what does origin advancement mean
You'll be able to pick the feats as "common feats" when leveling up your character.
Ok so when and how does Argenta get more useful?
Got through the prologue, got Cass, just finished the prison with the schizo, we're at lvl 7. Fights basically consist of me as party face melee Commissar and Abelard chopping up mooks while the rest keep buffing or missing.
Do warp routes on the map decay over time? You can't make at least the main ones green and safe forever?
How to build as vance stubbs called away to be a trader?
Has anyone found a bicorne/tricorne helmet? I want to make a pirate looking character, but naval officer's hat get instantly replaced by any helmet and using the helmet not visible option also deletes the default bicorne (plus crimelord seems better skillwise and still fits themewise)
Is it possible to play a "lol demons aren't real" Imperial Truth atheist?
You'll be killing a few demons so no
what a terrible digital drawing, even ai could have made this look nice
Where do I get more extractums?
I love how the game allows you to be THAT character. The pompous butthole that sits on a throne and tell the guards to send a mook to the dungeon or a firing squad if they failed you for the last time.
I'm tired of every wrpg being either the paladin, neutralman or a psycho (or sometimes a jester, who is still refreshing since it's far rarer that the previous 3)
to be fair, if a W40K didnt allow you to be that guy, what would be the point
Kingmaker was pretty good in that regard if you played a chaotic neutral. The way you could roast some people and then double down on it every time you meet them is legendary.
just give me a qrd on character creation so that i dont feel like i made a huge mistake and restart the game after ten hours
Just go skim through Mortismal's beginner guide on Youtube.
There is no qrd
Tell me what character you're making and i'll tell you why it sucks
>Pick Biomancer Psyker Officer
>Move into Grand Strategist

>Have yet to do a fight that I can't beat easily save for the Chapter 1 Capstone that almost made me reload
Owlcat actually did a great job with the scaling in this one, I don't feel fricked over by waiting on feats.
You should've went Biomancer Pyromancer Soldier Vanguard for unlimited power.
I thought about going Pyro first but I like the buffs you can get from Biomancer and I spend most of my AP on buffing early into the fights anyway. I'll keep that idea in mind for my second character though.
There's a pretty big overlap with heinrix there if you ever use him.
It is fun though, extremely unga.
I didn't think Henny would be as good or even better than Abelard but holy shit I gave him a thunder hammer as a joke and I don't think it's a joke anymore.
Best part is his self regeneration to boot by psyker level 2.
He never dies and shits out damage. Also survives me being always on fire.
Over 40k players playing now.
Goddamn, Heinrix, watch out, all the female party members will wet their panties just by looking at you.
Even Yrliet?
Especially Yrliet.

its fun ignore the haters, play on daring at least. I've lost battles but its mostly because I was stupid
Too complex for subhumans, so you will get filtered again.
It's better, because it has less buffwank, but worse because sometimes you fight a regiment worth of trash mobs who can shoot you 3 turns of distance away
Second greatest war hammer content in recent memory. Still easily surpassed by Alex jones and Rogan warhammer shitposts.
>Cassia has a book about proper courtship
Holy shit this girl
its refreshing to see a game with an actual feminine character instead of girlboss1221341
Why do you say this shit when Owlcat already did it with both pathfinder games?
Yeah, she's just a psycho c**t to compensate.
She's not, not unless you make her that way
You can make her evil?
There are endings where she becomes a tyrannical c**t, which I assume depends on what you do on her questline
comparatively speaking she's one of the sanest people alive
Yeah too bad she is the common prostitute who jumps on your dick instantly and cucks you in the all endings

what's the best second archetype for a pure buffs officer? grand strategist looks fun
All honesty here lads, I'm fricking shite at CRPGs. I played current board homosexualry magnet BG3 on the ez mode and enjoyed it. Is this fine for a big poof like me, or am I going to get annihilated? If that's the case, fine, it's not meant for me.
you can set custom difficulty I think. normal is grand though and I hated the pathfinder games gameplay
Cheers. You're underestimating how shite I am but I might just give it a go.
Give it a try. The difficulty is insanely customizable - that's something that really should be getting more praise. And the rules themselves aren't that difficult. There is A LOT to take in, but once you figure out the formula, it's downhill from there.
Has someone finally gotten to Act 2 and Yrliet or is everyone still in Act 1?
Bros am I safe to run MC as a psyker? Is there a companion psyker and is their story good? Owlcat games always make me regret MC class choice because I always end up picking a class that a companion exists on that I want but don't want double classes.
There are 2 psyker companions, one is an annoying Black person and the other is chad inquisition bro
frick... I'll reroll
1: You do not have to roll both in the party
2: Unless you pick t same archetype AND psyker 'school', the build will be different
Technically three if you count Cassia.
To be fair, there will always be an overlap with other companions no matter what you roll. Pasqal, Yrliet, Cassia and Woof will always be better than you, because story reasons. Just pick the class that you think is fun and don't worry about it.
it adds a lot of flavour and this game has no real caster class
drop the heretic and become a bash brother with inquisitor in melee
go pyromancer become the fireball
Pyromancer spot is empty.
People don't play Commissar here or what?
I'm playing a commissar officer
I played him in the beta, so I switched things up.
I saved it for my dogmatic run
>melee hive world officer comissar
Or perhaps forge world with heavy armor so he can survive
Nope im a totally ordinary loyal psyker who collects weird sword and glass shards to keep them safe from spreading corruption
I'm sad there is no techpriest origin. Hereteks are my favorite thing in 40k and i was hoping i could reach that goal in the end.
commissar is sadly all but outright forced to be melee i really wanted to be a ranged commissar but:
i
hate
melee
And even if you want to be melee,psycher is way better at it than commissar
How so? I give my commisar a sniper, chainsword, and bolt pistol and he only every uses the chainsword as a last resort. Fricks shit up with the rest of his stuff
"ballistic skill" a commissar can't level that
>normal is actually piss easy except for boss fights
>want to turn difficulty up

So glad I never got infected with that
Restart.
Achievements are worthless dopamine buttons. Set your own goals and ignore those of the game, no one cares about your (or anyone elses) achievement page. If you want to for completionist sake, just do it later, play for the fun of it the first time.
Can someone explain how crits are calculated? It seems to be completely random. I had 90% chance to crit before. Does my chance to crit have to do with how overwhelming my characters stats are?
Also can someone explain how warp attacks work? I once had my psychicer explode into a demon but the bar was well below 15? Is there a sheet that shows all the possible out comes?
can you even see your crit base % chance?
cant find it anywhere
crits seem extremely "random" if that makes sense
Crit chance starts at 10% and goes up by however much your accuracy is above 95%. So let's say you have 105% accuracy on a target, you would then have 20% chance to crit them rather than the base 10%.
How does this work for melee? Since you can't miss
Where do I go to recruit the mechanicus lad?

You guys are not helping.
You are a fricking moron. What else do you want to know you stupid frick? There really is no simpler way to put it
Just go to the damn planet

It's literally on the first planet. Your options are the prision (planetoid is not a planet), space station (not a planet), the ship (not a planet) and a fricking PLANET.
on the first planet
Is there a torrent out yet?
The combat in this game is so much better than fricking Pathfinder.
how is the season pass stuff looking? not sure if I should just wait but so far no bugs at all (only got mostly done in the nav station). maybe a meme chaos run in a year when everything is out would be fine

What should I do next? Was thinking of soldier heretic since I dont like psykers. Something that sits in the back sniping shit
>About to finish my dogmatic commisar officer run.
Wait, you've finished the game already? I wish I was that fast.
Soldier is more of an assault rifle and spray guy, operative fits sniper perfectly
So "Be Smart" effectively changes grand strategists scaling to INT + INT right? guess I know where I'm going with my heretic psker.
I have not tested it.
I am planning a void crime lord operative for that, if it works.
>I am planning a void crime lord operative for that, if it works.

Any benefit in going ranged assassin? Feels like anyone with a gun wants to go bounty hunter so I want to try something else
Is it just me, or are most of the classes just kind of shit? Warrior is amazing as frick and none of the other classes even seem remotely as good. Officer is kind of useful but only because they give warriors extra attacks. Soldier is like a ranged warrior with half the accuracy and damage (and warriors can run so fricking far the range really isn't even an advantage) and operative is so fricking useless, it's like "if i stack this debuff 50 times I'm still worse than a warrior". Even boss fights do not last long enough to make operatives worth it.
As for the next tier of class... None of them are particularly good either. Most of them have some stupid gimmick that takes turns to build up... But no fight lasts long enough to really even benefit from this.
Assassin is probably the best but only because they just give the warrior more damage and movement which is never useless.
Vanguards need to be hit so many fricking times to even be useful it's stupid. All of their abilities need stacks they only get by being hit and fights are over long before this happens.
Grand Strategist is complete trash. You can't even rotate the areas you place and they are blocked by fricking line of sight, not that the bonus is any good anyway.
Bounty hunter is another gimmicky class that needs to stack stuff but the buffs are bad unless they can kill a fricking boss enemy.
Master Tactician is another class that needs to gain stacks to be useful. They're at least a bit easier to get and they can buff the warrior at least.
And Arch Militant is another fricking class that needs stacks so is mostly pointless.
oh boy here we go. brainlets giving their horrendous takes on class balance
I just watched my warrior two shot a boss with like 360 hp but you'll still try and tell me noo the other classes are valid and useful because... They take 30 turns to do build up stacks that allow them to do a fraction of this damage?
The only class that is shit is Operative. Officer is broken with how good it is. Soldier and Warrior are just two sides of the same coin, both good.
Operative stacking passive exploits is great though, a frick ton of damage
You are kinda moronic, yes
Officer can boost every characteristic by 20 before you hit chapter 2.
Operative can make a single enemy completely harmless. You will learn to like this on unfair. They not need to be the oens who hurt but they definitely can.
Soldiers are just as good as warriors tying for best heroic hour. You just need to learn to be within actual weapon range and not hit in cover.

So how did you guys feel about the chapter 1 final boss? That shit was rough on Daring, had to restart 4 times to have enough health on most my important guys after the homies first fricking turn.
Also frick the sniper, beelined him with argenta and a shotgun to the face
Loved that guy, because it showed exactly how overpowered Space Marines are compared to regular people.
And that guy was just a basic-b***h CSM grunt.
Yeah I did like it too after my initial shock wore off from the absolute bullshit that was him deleting 3 dudes on the first turn. That was my fault though, shit placement
I just had my warrior/pyromancer/forge world main character walk through some fire then 2 shot him. They were admittedly lucky criticals and I'm pretty sure there is some sort of bug with pyromancers orchestrate flame that makes it not only hit twice, but those two hits scale with everything (including crits) and also trigger things that happen on attack so you get triple the effect, but as a boss he was kind of pathetic.
What the frick 😀 my highest damaging single attack is Pasqals melee and thats 40 at best. I fricked up going biomancy on the psyker I guess
when do i get the scene where i can kill the psyker for heresy
Soon, faithful servant of the Emperor. Soon.
>3 humans, a tin can and a fish taking down a CSM with cultist support
By the midgame your psyker should be capable of annihilating several chaos marines
An army by an endgame
Millennia old veteran with evil space magic didn't expect my ring to shoot out a poison dart, the idiot.
Space marines are not some gods of war, lol, just enhanced humans equipped with power armor, that's all.
>Space marines are not some gods of war
uh
The gods of war are the Primarchs
ONE CSM. With some real difficulty. I say it fits.
>a psyker, a guy decked in advanced archeotech, a future predicting mutant and a human take down a CSM with cultist support
Its a lot more plausible than darktide at least
3 okay-ish psykers, one of which is a navigator, magos with a plasma rifle, old fleet dude and a bolter b***h are enough to kill some random moron space marine, yes.
It's weird but navigators aren't psykers and their magic superpowers have nothing to do with psykers.
Depends on the fluff and game. If CSM where as insane as some books tells us, no one would play IG ever.
>3 psykers apparently can't kill a CSM
Have you read even one warhammer book?
Don't read Gaunt's Ghosts then, because there a CSM gets killed by literal jungle ooga booga blowing turbo poison (the kind not even a SM can filter out) darts at him.
How hard is Daring? I like playing on equal ground to the enemies rather than one of the sides having bonus stats just for the sake of it, but i was kinda shit on pathfinder, so i'm not sure what to choose.
is there a point in increasing conversation skills over 100?
My sister of battle companion is hitting like a truck with a las sniper rifle + the support from the fish. It's so good makes me think something is broken.
Why is there no good rifles in this game, im in chapter 2, lvl 17 and this is still the best rifle i have
I found a great sniper longlas at chapter
i am aware of snipers, but i'm looking for weapons that can burst fire
There's the heavy bolter gun but for heretics only, kinda looking for more heavy guns to turn one of my party into a weapons platform
You were sayin'?
I used that thing for a long time. Kill a Forgefiend with it, but I replaced it with a hellgun not long after.
you missed longlas, a powerful lasgun sniper and this

is anyone else getting random save corruption? every third save, every quick save...
Are staves good melee weapons too? I want to use them for my pyro warrior since they fit the theme
anybody got a screenshot of what power armor looks like in-game?
Just looks like a shitty regular armor, don't bother.
Will I be needing Willpower resistance in the early game? Just unlocked the first talent pick and wondering if I should bolster my MC's poor WP score by grabbing the Hive World Comradery talent (use FEL to resist WP checks).
If you're buffing fellowship, comradery is great, but otherwise it's not a huge deal to have low willpower. Like in any party RPG it's better to focus on your strengths than trying to cover up weaknesses.
Is it going to be released physical on consoles at any pont?
>Picked the wrong dialog option during end of chapter one
>Now I have a permanent debuff that can never be removed
There better be some way of removing this shit as the game progresses because that is horse shit otherwise.
You can remove any buff with toybox, but what exactly are you talking about?
It's a permanent stat debuff for picking the wrong dialog option at the end of the first chapter.
what the frick did you do to get that? I flew back for the tech priest engine and the nobles and didnt get a debuff
What exact dialog option?
Don't remember the exact options because there is a whole list of them and you have to pick a few from the list. I guess the ones I picked resulted in this happening?
I didn't even realize it had happened until the inquisitor guy said "i told you so" while I was travelling somewhere on the ship.
Oh he said that to me but didnt get the debuff
Well I did, and now I can't get rid of it no matter what I do. Which is gay as frick.
NTA but i got the same debuff and i saved the reactor and the common people.
Twice now I have fricked up HARD because something bad has happened in combat, my instinct is to hit space bar to pause, and of course that's an instinct for the wrong fricking game so I actually ended my guy's turn when I still had actions left at a critical part of the fight
>41,118 In-Game
Anons, we are officially the WH 41K: Rogue trader
Can Reveal the Light stack?
To whom do I sell the metric fricktons of vendor trash/cargo I've been picking up?
Only completed the Navigator house and schizo prison so far.
So which sites did you use to download this game?
I'd rather avoid the hidden miner experience.
Player Character Psyker is so worthless, and you get so little choices unique to being a Pysker, and they give you so many party Pyskers that it's honestly comical how bad you are
Anon, you are fricking moronic.
You can become a better melee psyker than Heinrix easily
Why would you want to become a melee pysker? I want to cast shit from afar and I'm worse at it than everyone else. Iidra and Cassia are two of your firs tcompanions and having more than one psyker casting in combat means you're just getting warped quick
Idira has the unsanctioned psyker bonus, but just picking marksman means you will be better at doing ranged damage soon enough. And pyromancy is very strong if you go that route.
And there is no redundancy in having you and Cassia on the team.
So again, you are a moron who cannot build a character nor a team for shit
Because if you just spam spells demons will rape your ass. Balancing veil deterioration is important, and melee is a good fallback tool to avoid overwarping turn 1
It's time
oh my god its chaos
i respect Jack's strength
do your triumphs or darkest hours ever come up in dialogue?
Bros, I was wondering what everyone was about with Idira summoning demons mid combat etc, until it finally happened
>End of a boss fight
>Two guys left, one almost dead
>Tell Argenta to attack one
>She does the thing to move out from cover to shoot and just stands there, not firing
>Can't end the turn manually or anything
FRICK
I don't want to redo this whole fricking fight all over again because of horse shit like this
Has this happened to anyone else, and did you find a way to progress the game without reloading?
Is it me or most origin features are kinda shit except crimelord? Most of them are once per battle and last one round.
It is just you. Once per battle/one round is fine because combat ends quickly4
Psyker powers are significantly better, and you get so many spare skills/talents you'll get all the good ones anyway and still be stick picking those generic talents anyway.
Crime Lord is selfish and gives self-buffs, the others are generally party buffs. Depends on what you want.
Just you.
You underestimate the bonuses and the talents you can get later.
Except maybe for priest, that is a bit weird to build around
I'm playing Naval officer operative and want to go Grand strategist. Are the buffs decent enough to not-reroll? I'm afraid the game has the pathfinder problem of some specific builds being trash compared to a few lucky ones who get everything instead.
Everything was viable pure class in pathfinder up to core, most on hard.
Unless you play unfair, you will be fine.
That said, Navy encourages melee distance more than ranged, so keep that in mind
>That said, Navy encourages melee distance more than ranged, so keep that in mind
Perfect Timing is Navy's strongest talent and it's worthless for melee characters
I found the commissar one shit as an officer because I kept missing but I remade my officer as a noble and their feature is much better
Psyker is so much better than all of the others, it's not even close, even if you're not planning on using much psyker stuff
Should I go ministorum priest or santic psyker for my melee dude?
biomancer/pyromancer warrior is your dude
>biomancer/pyromancer
Okay cool. Should I go with priest or santic psyker then?
Anon...
I wanna be a fricking warrior of light not a min/maxing little pussy b***h.
Then do that and don't ask us.
How about you stop being a homosexual (impossible challenge) and just tell me which is better for melee. Priest or santic psyker?
This
help i cant stop rerolling
I found that I don't really need to reload. Every companion has their uses/builds and they don't overlap.
>start combat
>run back to a choke
>enemies begin filtering down to attack my tank at the front
>stack dodge on him
>all enemy gunner unleash into the back of their frontline and kill 90% of their own men before I even get a chance to attack back
thank god this game isn't another >run back to choke shitter
so any cool worlds/origins/paths missing fromthe trpg?
