Yeah not with a fricking psyker. Those people never read anything about warhammer.
They can frick between each other YOU don't frick them. Psykers are mutant, the imperium keeps them alive because they have to feed the throne (unless retconned) and they are useful to navigation. And that's it.
For an imperial citizen a psyker is on par of a slaanesh demon, you should only feel disgust and fear for it, not love.
Don't disagree. I'm willingly to mildly entertain it, less because of waifu shit, but I'd find it funny as frick for it to end with her House getting the Officio Assassinorum to kill her at the end of it.
The Navis Nobilite are Emperor-sanctioned psykers and so important to the existence of the Imperium that most enjoy lives of lavish extravagance amid cutthroat political posturing and staring into hell. The section of the ship they stay in is considered sovereign territory of their household, and the a good navigator sanctum would be packed with riches, servants, pleasure slaves, and personal guards.
So fricking the fish would be ok as long as you don't breed her. Unless they make it a plot point that your genetics are so ideal your kid will keep the 3rd eye but not look like Flipper the dolphin.
The Emprahs plans are still a bit up in the air, but what is known for sure is that he wanted humanity to start using the webway as a safety measure for humanity to traverse the galaxy while shutting out the influence of the warp. Humanity is a highly psychically sensitive species, and it's hinted that the natural evolution of the species is that humanity will become a psychic master-race to rule the galaxy. He wanted to give humanity a safe haven to fulfill that evolutionary path without the insidious corruption of the Chaos gods.
Now, there are other pieces of lore that suggest that the Emperor may have set humanity on this path, or enhanced it in ways that may have drawn the attention of the chaos gods. At some point before the golden age of humanity/dark age of technology, the Emperor and a bunch of perpetuals(humans who are practically immortal and have lived since the early days of history) slowboated before the invention of warp engines to a planet called Moloch. What exactly transpired there is unknown, but the Emperor made some kind of deal with the chaos gods, which caused most of the perpetuals of humanity to turn away from the Emperor. Some theorize that he gained the knowledge to make the Primarchs/Spess mahreens from them there. But another theory is that he willingly made a deal with Chaos to evolve humanity into a stronger psychic species, creating the first navigator genes, rapidly increasing the natural occurance of Psykers among humanity. The price to be paid could have been humanity itself, because all through the Horus Heresy books the chaos gods refer to the Emperor as the Anathema, and claims that he had betrayed them. So if that theory holds true, the Emperor might have used the gods of chaos to increase mankinds psychic potential, hedging his bets that he could outplay the chaos gods and make humanity the masters of the galaxy AND the immaterium.
>Psykers are mutant, the imperium keeps them alive because they have to feed the throne (unless retconned) and they are useful to navigation.
Holy shit hie dou you manage to be such a mongoloid?
Psyker=/= navigators
Navigators are a very specifically designed subhuman species. They have a tailor made genome which can't be inherited by ordinary humans. And because the imperium won't function without them they hold a ton of power including a permanent high lord of terra.
Psykerb are just a weird mutation which can pop up in every kid, like webbed feet.
>For an imperial citizen a psyker is on par of a slaanesh demon
The average dude has next to no idea what a psyker is. They are just those wizard dudes that can make your head pop if you piss them off. Unlike blanks they don't make everyone uncomfortable all the time.
Not like they know much about demons let alone slaanesh.
Nu warhammer gays are unsufferable. Let me grab my codex, yeah that panel of the romance stories novel sold in the sanctioned libraries, wow the guardsman love story... and sure look at those two happy imperial citizen going around the hive city hand to hand.
Where the frick you think you are? This is warhammer 40k, play bg3 if you want to have your waifu experience. >Where do you think the new humans to fuel the emperors armies come from exactly
You reproduce by order of the imperium and filling a quota just like bolts, cannons and everything else. They have reproduction programs with precise coupling and expected deliveries by medical screenings.
Read a fricking codex before opening your mouth. And they ask why the franchise is gone to shit.
>They have reproduction programs with precise coupling and expected deliveries by medical screenings.
Depends on the planet, I find it doubtful that sort of thing is the majority, there might be fairly common cases of penalty for not reproducing but that's just gonna be sorting out the leftovers and even then I doubt most planets would bother
No, anon, only your mother gets fricked on a schedule, most of Imperium is uncontrollable mess with billions of human doing whatever they want (Drowning in crime and poverty)
Nobody bans you from having romances, but you don't exactly go on dates with Martha, death cult assassin, and your first duty is to your Emperor, not whoever you're fricking in the meantime.
>why would somebody that wants to strengthen his bloodline at all costs be willing to take the risk of fricking somebody that might give their kids the ability to commit violence with their mind regardless of the risks
Strange.
can anons explain to me what a rogue trader is, what they do, and why they can operate outside the laws of the imperium without the imperium coming to frick their shit up?
they're space jesus the reincarnation of the emperor and that means they can do whatever they want
can anons explain to me what a rogue trader is, what they do, and why they can operate outside the laws of the imperium without the imperium coming to frick their shit up?
Each Rogue Trader dynasty has an ancient document signed by Emperor himself, Writ of Trade, which allows them to do ANYTHING as long as it benefits the Imperium somehow and sends them to the far reaches of the Imperium, where Astronomicon's light is dim and authorities's presence is relatively small.
Rogue Traders are the freest people in the whole Imperium, but their freedom is naturally limited when they have to contact the more civilized parts of the Imperium.
He was a character in original adventure module. Instead of always screaming about cool it is to be a strong trans woman, he only tells you if you beat impossible diplomacy check. This is hailed as triumph of gayness.
You have a quest that serves no purpose other than to send you to the house of her and her girlfriend (who b***hes about how people were racist to her, after she CHOSE to move to a city where her people were constantly raiding) where you have the note about how "we need that potion, we spent so much on it,,, it'll help her become her true self". There is no point to the mission other than 'go to their house' and no reward, the point is to filter down that path. And even if you don't find out that one is a troony, they're still both The Snarky One in the lesbian relationship and constantly sucked off by the narrative as the backbone of Tenabras. Even if this wasn't a factor, Owlcat writing is so fricking awful they're still totally unlikable, like most of the cast.
No, the quest is to find his orc girlfriend's sword. Same orc girlfriend that gets buckbroken the moment crusade gets tough. I've only remember talking with this gay when he has his portrait painted, when you kill Camellia and when you come back from the abyss and he whines how bad it was without you and how Drezen almost fell under his command.
Do you really think you'll be allowed to kill people indiscriminately in an owlcat game? A party member no less?

It's fricking Owlcat, you will have the "I don't like you. Die!" option in every conversation, which you will of course never use despite crying about it.
>Not starting with Idira when she literally summons a demon to your ship or even much earlier than that when the threats of something like that happening becomes clear

Meh, I don't mind Idira. Although I have no use for her considering the party slots are taken over by the others.
Jae on the other hand irritates me the moment she opens up her mouth.
Her fricking recruitment quest has he lying to you.
I hate to say it but without the 40k setting bonus this kinda feels like a $30 game compared to Wrath of the Righteous. There's just less of everything if the 'beta' they shat out a while ago really is already half the game.

I hope when they finally do a 40k anime it has romcom elements so we get to see all the people who insist nobody should ever date in the imperium really seethe at a whole new level, I wanna see will they won't they anime nonsense in an Administratum workplace show, I wanna see some poor guardsman who keeps tripping over and falling into the commissar's breasts
Actually I don't think I have ever seen a female commissar, although looking it up it seems there is a named one by the name of Severina Raine
Individual people or organizations within a faction can be whatever they want to be. Good, bad, neutral...but it doesn't change the fact that everyone in 40K is an butthole.
The Imperium have been the de facto good guys since Rountree took over and canned the plans that were started by the Fall of Cadia. You cannot look at current 40k and tell me the Imperium ISN'T massively portrayed as heroes.
Le good and ebil is subjective. My Good is burning moronic fricking aliens and torturing filthy heretics in the name of the emperor. Your Good is being gay or something while you get gangbanged by a whole host of demons. At the end of the day only one of these "Goods" will remain (mine).
I hate people who only get 40k lore info secondhand or from memes. Yes rogue traders frick and usually skirt the edge of what's acceptable but they have carte blanche to do so. Psykers aren't untouchable. Psykers are important throughout the imperium. When Navigators have children with non-navigators they come with no third eye.
The tabletop was one of the games that embraced some characters being shit at combat compared to others, but so useful for out of combat stuff they could still be the crux of the party. Especially as the system is lethal enough that you're encouranged to avoid combat when possible, unlike d&d dungeon crawl style rpgs.
That said a space marine still feels a bit extreme.
A rogue trader is technically also some random human guy, but if you are cool enough to become one, and one's Seanchal you are a cut above the rest of humanity. Not comparable to a space marine in combat prowess though, I have no idea how they plan to balance that. He might be a neophyte or something though, so recently got the implants but don't have the full experience of a full space marine.
This wolf is pretty good, they added a good story about him being a skald on Fenris and a troll cursed him to never die a heroic death which clearly will be part of his character quest
>Sister of Battle >on the same level as a random human guy
I mean, yeah? A SoB is just a trained woman and yours specifically doesn't even have a power armor.
And not, the SM is much stronger than the senechal.
You underestimate humans in warhammer
Typical Sister of Battle is not better at fighting than typical Cadian, she's just way better armed and has more faith implanted into her.
And rogue trader reutine are no typical humans - they are cream of the crop of priests, warriors, scum and techpriests. Some humans can even duel Astartes and win. I have no problem with Space Marine being part of the crew, I will have a problem if he is no better at fighting than, say, your psyker. Make him indespensable when fighting is required and not very useful when what you need is diplomacy or some other field of expertise.
yes, it's so much better than all the other "backgrounds" it's not even funny
all the other backgrounds get an ability or two at most
psyker gets like three whole additional skill trees to frick shit up with
>Roleplay as a devout emperor-fearing captain who will do his utmost to aid the inquisition, kill all mutants, heretics and xenos >but will probably have to kill half the potential companions
Or should I go goody-two-shoes rogue trader that tries to find a balance with your companions. Owlcat games are fricking enormous so idk if I have the energy to do more than one playthrough.
>have the rare opportunity to do whatever you want with the permission from Emperor himself >still decide to lock yourself in a walking parody of an imperial bootlicker
Bravo moron.
Rogue Traders are granted their writs by being great heroes of the imperium. At least that's how a dynasty starts, it's a great reward. You are basically the paragon of an imperial citizen, and rewarded accordingly. But the writs are passed down dynastically and with some generations of inbreeding we get people like you.
Consider blowing your brains out, chaos troon. I will play a straight white male! I will worship the emperor! And there's nothing you can do to stop me!
But you can, you can exterminate mutants and kill several of your potential companions just due to them being a mutant or not human.
It does collide with your interest as a Rogue Trader but you can even act like you keep some around soley because they have a use or they're more like an exotic pet.
Did you even play the beta?
Warhammer also gets a lot of games, people just only play those 2, hell if anything you guys are pretty fricking spoiled considering the setting is dead

Another friggin tourist.
All TW games are a Shadow of The Horned Rat/Dark Omen copy when it comes to combat. Mark of Chaos and its expansion Battle March are all spiritual successors to SoTHR and DO along with being a spiritual predecessor to Total War Warhammer.
Here we go again. Commissars are humans you moron. They are well capable of changing their minds, their stances, their values, just like every other human.
They are indoctrinated from an early age. They are also orphans of war, each and every one. To have one become a rogue trader is heresy.

I agree with the guy who is sperging out, there's no reason to make a rogue trader look like this unless you're trying to pad out the game with power fantasy bullshit for a moronic consumerbase. As the consumer base degrades, everything needs to be some sort of vapid power fantasy now. They won't let the player be some ratty miscreant who peddles refurbished bolters, he needs to be a big important badass with gold armor. Because That's You!™

Taking up the mantle as rogue trader is his duty.
That warrant of trade was issued by the emperor himself. Not takking that position would be shirking one's duty.
I just hope that the last third of the game isn't a massive slog like all of Owlcat's other games.
Unavoidable and you know it, at least the space combat was enjoyable.
I feel like half the people in this thread have never actually read a Warhammer book and get all their lore from YouTube videos so they can't stand to see anyone acting like a person instead of a 1 note stereotype
Well yes, 40k had for years the issue that its "fanbase" often didn't engage with the tabletop or the books and only consumed the memes and some vidya.
>RT includes an Eldar character >She's a shining example of why Eldar fricking suck, causing so much hatred for her character that people ask for a flat out rewrite >Owlcat refuses and says they'll just add more details to make it more obvious
I still insist that the issue was how owlcat executed that "twist".
The way it's written and the previous interaction leave it lacking
Although considering they introduce her to you as an eldar and have you fight her kin before you find clues that eldar are on the planet my standards are perhaps just too high.
She's an Eldar. The only people who would ever even recruit her are tertiaries who fall for the 'Muh Eldar waifu' memes without knowing anything about them. Everyone who knows Eldar and isn't a degenerate will shoot her on sight.
>The only people who would ever even recruit her are tertiaries
Like how the goblin the succubus and the sociopath undead betrayed you in Pathfinder? shut the frick up moron
Eldar are genuinely less trustworthy than those races. There have at least been twists on thise before.
Eldar have literally never been anything except self-centered arrogant pieces of shit who do nothing but cry about prophecies that are 'too complex' for other races right before they get massacred because they're morons. Eldar literally deserve all of the hate they get.

Not very. Especially compared to its contemporaries in the WRPG genre. I appreciate the fact that you can brutally murder almost anyone that you dislike and that the game acknowledges this through dialogue and story too.

The problem is that it's very clearly contemporary politics lifted straight out of real life political issues and transplanted into the game.
That means rather than drawing the viewer to the universe, it just reminds people of real life; the opposite of what you're trying to do with escapism. It's hamfisted and ultimately moronic. It's a clear indication the developers harbor particular beliefs and need you to think along the same political lines as them - and that goes regardless of which side of "all cops are bastards" you sit on.
Because being on either side of the equation is already immersion breaking. You shouldn't be thinking about politically charged phrases you've heard in real life showing up in your videogame set tens of thousands of years in the future. There is no reason you can't create similar sentiments but without stealing from and pushing modern political views. In other words: They should never have used x are bastards, and instead come up with their own political slogans that would have been born out of the lore and setting itself and not modern woke ideological wars.
Quite a bit, most of the people telling you it isn't there lack the intelligence to understand how woke infests things through the framing itself.
When you encounter le stronk woman badass who fights on the frontlines with the men and can arm wrestle an ogre, their 95 IQ minds can't comprehend that this is an element of progressive wokism. They are so steeped in woke ideology that they can't even see it around them. It's just "normal".
The game is heavy on the woke framing and light on in your face propaganda.
Filthy tourist.
You play as a Rogue Trader. They don't abide to standard Imperial stuff. They are given a permit/letter of marque to do whatever the frick they want and not even the Inquisition can do about it. All of this as long as they are doing their job of exploring space.

Don't think it was treated as a good thing. But like the only gay option being the psychopathic degenerate space elf that gets of on murder.
I belive it's a reference to a quote "Hard to Be a God" by Strugatsky where in the ending after a guy breaks under pressure and just massacres people he was sent to "civilize" his friend comes to visit him in the hospital and sees his hands red from berry juice. Also, what would you write, "HE'S A Black person Black person Black person"? This summs up his character as schmaltzy homosexual who came to war.
>Also, what would you write, "HE'S A Black person Black person Black person"?
Something that doesn't sound unbearably fricking wanky. The problem isn't that there's no poetry, it's that it sounds incredibly whiny and needy, like it's begging you to care about this abloo-bloo, and no, Sosiel himself being whiny doesn't justify this because it's written by that evil b***h at the end. >The Crusade is indiscriminate — demons care little whether they trample plows or paintings, and neither does it matter whether a soldier or an artist runs them through. Though he does his duty in devotion to Saranrae, Sosiel's heart is kind and holds no love for war.
I shat that out in five minutes. Don't you dare tell me it's even half as homosexual as what was written, and I did it for free to boot.
Moreover, there's just a lot of embarrassingly bad lines. It feels like a game in early access where they haven't had time to double-check the script and say "does any of this sound like an autistic 14-year-old on Tumblr would've put this line in their fanfiction in 2011?"
>the other Deity prominently mentioned by a Kingmaker companion whose name starts with S

Which faction would win if: >Emperor fully came back with the rest of the lost Primarchs >The Tau are given enough time for their technology to advance uncontrollably >The Eldar fully awaken Ynnead >All the Necron awake and find all the C'Tan shards >Every single Ork come together under the ultimate WAAAAAGH >The rest of the tyranids outside the galaxy all arrive at the same time
The Imperium would win because the Emperor coming back means he's become a capital-G God, and he can just delete whatever threatens humanity from existence entirely.
The Tau are a background footnote that only 'won' against the Imperium because the Imperium had other bigger issues going on and couldn't afford to spend the logistics fighting both the Nids and the Tau at once in one area of space, and only continue to exist because of plot armor.
Orks are given alot of plot armor so the entirety of reddit can jerk off to whatever wacky shenanigans they get up to next. They're literally comedy relief and shouldn't be taken seriously.
If Emperor comes back as a God then the Imperium, otherwise Tyranids. I'll confess I'm not super up to date about the Ynnead lore though
It's not about the fricking in-universe meaning, man. I can't tell you enough that I'm not bothered by someone in the setting writing that. It's about the developers and their intent in writing that, putting it front and center, and what they intended you, the player, to feel. You're not 'punished' but it's positioned like an Evil route, which is a value judgement made by the developers about the kind of people who'd align with the Enforcers and not the criminals. Again, I believe something like that might have been written, but it should've been SOMETHING LIKE THAT, not that specific political statement which telegraphs the whole intention.
The Enforcers are literally there to enforce (hence the name) compliance with the Imperium including tithes, which are designed to squeeze as much output from world's as possible. They're not loyal to the world they're on and are there to keep the local governor in line, not make life better for anyone (although killing cults DOES help people tbf). Criminals, mutants and the impoverished masses fear them but don't necessarily like them. Even if it's winking towards an IRL meme it's not particularly out of universe
Necrons are the only faction that is War in Heaven-tier still. They also are Super Effective against the Nids so the bugs aren't even competition. The Tyranids come second simple by numerical advantage and the fact that fighting against the Orks just supercharges them via biomass. Orks are third because that probably would be enough to boost them back to War in Heaven-tier albeit still not enough of them to win without the Old Ones managing them. Tau are a joke and will encounter a Men of Iron situation soon enough. Eldar are a joke. The Emperor and Primarchs are far less important than the loss of Humanity's technology. A better comparison would be if the Imperium found a completely intact vault of the entire set of Golden Age military STCs. That would make for a good fight against the Necrons, Nids and Orks.
I like how people who hate WotR always cite the two characters that nobody likes as an example of the bad writing, as if the entire game was just Sosiel and Seelah and there aren't characters like Regill, Camellia or Daeran.
It's one of those things where the existence of the first two nullifies the existence of the other three. Like, would you rather have one thousand skittles with one poisoned skittle somewhere in it, or would you rather have 900 skittles with no poisoned skittle?
>or would you rather have 900 skittles with no poisoned skittle?
Any examples of a video game like that? In terms of writing, I mean. Bonus points if it's in a genre like RPGs where writing is somewhat important, so no AC6 or something like that.
No, I'm saying there's no wokeshit in Arcanum you fricking moron.
Except in this case you already have a friend warning you which is the poisoned one and quarantined it, but you throw the entire bag out anyway.
Okay, but I can also just go for the one that's 100 percent poison-free. Why even bother? And in the specific example, it'll be difficult to play the game without the troony paladin acting as your frontliner, if you're playing a caster. Which means in almost all cases you NEED to have her.

Several NPCs in that game advocate for communism. Before you say "well you can disagree and even kill them", the same thing applies to Rogue Trader.

All of those are globohomo. Worker rights aren't, as they were organized by the workers themselves, because globohomosexual didn't exist at the time you hideous wiener.
Besides I'm still waiting for you to quote the anti-capitalism meme-spouting NPC or the Commie NPC. Go ahead I'm waiting. You've never played the game.

No, it hasn't, you dumb homosexual tool. I predate Eternal September, and the classic definition of the meme, as a "viral image macro" has only been a thing since 2003-ish, whereas the earliest "meme" in the traditional format has AT BEST been AYBABTU, which is from 2001, when it achieved memetic status, the same year as Arcanum (which obviously would've been in development for at least 2 years)

Let's discuss how Wenduag goes from >let's make a pragmatic Evil choice, here's my reasoning. I don't know you, you don't know me, but you can see the rationale in what I'm saying
to >Mwahahaha! I love eating people, my evil master with a powerful angel sword! let's kill this goody two shoes who I was always going to kill, just like I was going to kill you but now I'm not! and then we can make everyone eat the flesh and become evil monsters mwahahaha >:D
One of the worst, most offensive writing moments I've ever fricking seen. She'd been built up as an interesting Evil choice, who was rarely nice but always practical, to the least practical and least nice and just fricking moronic. Why did she just start talking like Gollum? Why did she reveal her entire evil plan when she'd been incredibly subtle and careful before this point? Why did she openly threaten Lann, something that didn't benefit her at all? Why did the writers throw away all the promise in this moment just for artificial drama?
Yes brainlet, that's what he's talking about, at first she seems reasonable even if she's a c**t, but the instant the jig is up with Hosilla and Savamelekh is up she reveals how much of a cartoon villain she is
Yes, Anon, I understand this. I'm not mad that she was Evil. I'm mad that she was Stupid Evil when she was initially written to be very clever, scheming with you for a pragmatic purpose that served her purpose (and the tribe's where it aligned with her), and then as soon as you get to that point she just changes into Gollum written by committee.
zoomers encounters their first in-game reference to a real world phrase. There are hundreds of references to gulf war era phrases in the early 90s games.
The amount of people who care about romance in a 40k game is baffling. The amount of crying when it was reveled that Cassia only likes men on top of that shitty interview where they kept trying to gaslight Owlcat about lgbt shit was fricking hilarious.
There's been romance in the 40k setting since the very first 40k novels ever written, The Inquisition Wars trilogy by Ian Watson. It's been present in the books of Dan Abnett, Graham McNeill and Sandy Mitchell, too.
Abaddon the Despoiler and the entire Black Legion are coming for you and only your favorite chapter stands between him and your life. Will you make it out alive. Spoiler He brought his arms with him
its OwlBlack person's game. you can expect it to be:
1 Unfinished (All acts after second one will be empty)
2 Black folk
3 Buggfest
4 Trannies
5 more Black folk
6 Shit writing
7 Gay couples will be majority
8 Cuck shit
>Kingmaker and WotR >after second one will be empty
The third and fourth act of each of those are literally the busiest acts of their respective games, you ESL mongoloid.
Haven't seen any trannies or gays, but most of it is true, one of the companions is a Black person that you kill and another is a gypsy, which you also kill. Writing was decent, however
nah, 100 if hes been injured and ran out of ammo, and each human has some sort of pickaxe, heavy blunt object, or a weapon capable of penetrating ceramite. If not, and just kitchen knifes and hammers etc? you'd need at least a thousand+ fanatics. Astartes physiology is a fricking meme, they'd run an ultramarathon world champion to death carrying their own bodyweight.
>since it was quite buggy
Nobody would believe me and think that I'm a shill but I didn't encounter any in the previous beta version (they updated it last week or so).
It's extra funny when 40k books are actually full of references to romance and sex and tertiaries just ignore those because it doesn't fit their headcanon.
Hell, the Ciaphas Cain series' entire premise is Cain's inquisitor GF auditing his memoirs and getting really catty whenever she comes across yet another one of his increasingly improbable sexual conquests
>Sister of Battle in party, abandoning her order to join with a group of people/mutants/aliens therefore going against her sword creed >Space Marine joining, going against chapter and working with an alien >Eldar joining, no one batting an eye >Visiting a place assumed to be Commoragh, the most highly secretive location in 40k and you can do it with a human psyker on your team breaking the only rule of the city >"t-they're not breaking lore!!!"

I have a lore question for 40K
Considering 90% of the loyalist primarch are gone while the traitor ones can just resurrect, what prevents them from just finishing off the imperium

This is why I dispize the majority of the 40k fandom.
You all dont realize that rouge traders were basically given lore to do what ever the frick they want as long as they are expanding the borders, because GW wanted to provide a way for People to role play a wide array of characters including those outside of humanity, and they that uneasy relation between a human and a xeno working together would provide an interesting narrative but 90% of the fandom is to moronic to think that much and either goes with "MUH WIFU ELDAR!" or "FOR THE EMPRAH!

Of course not silly, the Imperial Truth has been moot since the Horus Heresy. It's the Imperial Creed now.

Yes, it's about inheritance problems of space israelite bloodline. You don't get to play anything other than space israelite.

>Muh rogue trader romance because muh family line.
Yeah not with a fricking psyker. Those people never read anything about warhammer.
>Yeah not with a fricking psyker
You mean the Navigator right? They're inbred as frick and are basically owned by their House.
They can frick between each other YOU don't frick them. Psykers are mutant, the imperium keeps them alive because they have to feed the throne (unless retconned) and they are useful to navigation. And that's it.
For an imperial citizen a psyker is on par of a slaanesh demon, you should only feel disgust and fear for it, not love.
Don't disagree. I'm willingly to mildly entertain it, less because of waifu shit, but I'd find it funny as frick for it to end with her House getting the Officio Assassinorum to kill her at the end of it.
The Navis Nobilite are Emperor-sanctioned psykers and so important to the existence of the Imperium that most enjoy lives of lavish extravagance amid cutthroat political posturing and staring into hell. The section of the ship they stay in is considered sovereign territory of their household, and the a good navigator sanctum would be packed with riches, servants, pleasure slaves, and personal guards.
So fricking the fish would be ok as long as you don't breed her. Unless they make it a plot point that your genetics are so ideal your kid will keep the 3rd eye but not look like Flipper the dolphin.
The emperor wanted to turn humanity into psykers
he was legitimately insane
>nooo! space magic... is... le bad!!! Why!? Because i said so, okey?
correct
The Emprahs plans are still a bit up in the air, but what is known for sure is that he wanted humanity to start using the webway as a safety measure for humanity to traverse the galaxy while shutting out the influence of the warp. Humanity is a highly psychically sensitive species, and it's hinted that the natural evolution of the species is that humanity will become a psychic master-race to rule the galaxy. He wanted to give humanity a safe haven to fulfill that evolutionary path without the insidious corruption of the Chaos gods.
Now, there are other pieces of lore that suggest that the Emperor may have set humanity on this path, or enhanced it in ways that may have drawn the attention of the chaos gods. At some point before the golden age of humanity/dark age of technology, the Emperor and a bunch of perpetuals(humans who are practically immortal and have lived since the early days of history) slowboated before the invention of warp engines to a planet called Moloch. What exactly transpired there is unknown, but the Emperor made some kind of deal with the chaos gods, which caused most of the perpetuals of humanity to turn away from the Emperor. Some theorize that he gained the knowledge to make the Primarchs/Spess mahreens from them there. But another theory is that he willingly made a deal with Chaos to evolve humanity into a stronger psychic species, creating the first navigator genes, rapidly increasing the natural occurance of Psykers among humanity. The price to be paid could have been humanity itself, because all through the Horus Heresy books the chaos gods refer to the Emperor as the Anathema, and claims that he had betrayed them. So if that theory holds true, the Emperor might have used the gods of chaos to increase mankinds psychic potential, hedging his bets that he could outplay the chaos gods and make humanity the masters of the galaxy AND the immaterium.
Psykers being the next step in the evolutionary chain isn't bad, just get rid of Chaos first.
>Quartinary alert
Most inquisitors are psykers you fricking drooling moron.
>Psykers are mutant, the imperium keeps them alive because they have to feed the throne (unless retconned) and they are useful to navigation.
Holy shit hie dou you manage to be such a mongoloid?
Psyker=/= navigators
Navigators are a very specifically designed subhuman species. They have a tailor made genome which can't be inherited by ordinary humans. And because the imperium won't function without them they hold a ton of power including a permanent high lord of terra.
Psykerb are just a weird mutation which can pop up in every kid, like webbed feet.
>For an imperial citizen a psyker is on par of a slaanesh demon
The average dude has next to no idea what a psyker is. They are just those wizard dudes that can make your head pop if you piss them off. Unlike blanks they don't make everyone uncomfortable all the time.
Not like they know much about demons let alone slaanesh.
I am a rogue trader I can frick whatever I want the Emperor himself signed my papers frick you.
>anon outs himself as a secondary who didn't read anything about 40k
many such cases
No i played warhammer since the second edition, you just knew and understand the sweetened nu warhammer. And i don't read troony fanfic.
>wahhh no romance in 40k
where do you think the new humans to fuel the emperors armies come from exactly
Please be patient with the secondary.
Nu warhammer gays are unsufferable. Let me grab my codex, yeah that panel of the romance stories novel sold in the sanctioned libraries, wow the guardsman love story... and sure look at those two happy imperial citizen going around the hive city hand to hand.
Where the frick you think you are? This is warhammer 40k, play bg3 if you want to have your waifu experience.
>Where do you think the new humans to fuel the emperors armies come from exactly
You reproduce by order of the imperium and filling a quota just like bolts, cannons and everything else. They have reproduction programs with precise coupling and expected deliveries by medical screenings.
Read a fricking codex before opening your mouth. And they ask why the franchise is gone to shit.
Of course i've read a codex you fricking secondary, 10th edition space marine.
>They have reproduction programs with precise coupling and expected deliveries by medical screenings.
Depends on the planet, I find it doubtful that sort of thing is the majority, there might be fairly common cases of penalty for not reproducing but that's just gonna be sorting out the leftovers and even then I doubt most planets would bother
>Nu warhammer gays are unsufferable.
Anon, as opposed to secondaries like you?
No, anon, only your mother gets fricked on a schedule, most of Imperium is uncontrollable mess with billions of human doing whatever they want (Drowning in crime and poverty)
Nobody bans you from having romances, but you don't exactly go on dates with Martha, death cult assassin, and your first duty is to your Emperor, not whoever you're fricking in the meantime.
40k is basically something like 7 different settings with a common name at this point, arguing about what the "real" 40k is is pointless.
Not everything in a codex is in the wh40k universe. The whole thing is about making things up.
Still waiting for you to post your "codex", tertiary.
>Cain fricks a psyker
>Eisenhorn is a psyker and fricks

>The space marine is a wolf gay
i guess its better than ultra marine but frick man when are we gonna see some other factions
there's a whole squad of space marines who join you, but as a rogue trader you're actually able to beat them in combat
When is it coming out?
next year christmas
they're space jesus the reincarnation of the emperor and that means they can do whatever they want
december, apparently
it's nowhere near ready in my opinion
can anons explain to me what a rogue trader is, what they do, and why they can operate outside the laws of the imperium without the imperium coming to frick their shit up?
you're basically a space conquistador in the name of the Emperor
Each Rogue Trader dynasty has an ancient document signed by Emperor himself, Writ of Trade, which allows them to do ANYTHING as long as it benefits the Imperium somehow and sends them to the far reaches of the Imperium, where Astronomicon's light is dim and authorities's presence is relatively small.
Rogue Traders are the freest people in the whole Imperium, but their freedom is naturally limited when they have to contact the more civilized parts of the Imperium.
Not being xenophobic and genocidal is kinda a prerequisite for being a rogue trader.
How much LGBT child molesting shit should I expect since owltroony is making this?
This is made by Owlcat, they're based as frick, I see threads about their games literally all the time on Ganker

>Mindbreaks /misc/
He was a character in original adventure module. Instead of always screaming about cool it is to be a strong trans woman, he only tells you if you beat impossible diplomacy check. This is hailed as triumph of gayness.
I've still never succeeded the perception check to find out he's a man even after replaying the game about 20 times
You have a quest that serves no purpose other than to send you to the house of her and her girlfriend (who b***hes about how people were racist to her, after she CHOSE to move to a city where her people were constantly raiding) where you have the note about how "we need that potion, we spent so much on it,,, it'll help her become her true self". There is no point to the mission other than 'go to their house' and no reward, the point is to filter down that path. And even if you don't find out that one is a troony, they're still both The Snarky One in the lesbian relationship and constantly sucked off by the narrative as the backbone of Tenabras. Even if this wasn't a factor, Owlcat writing is so fricking awful they're still totally unlikable, like most of the cast.
No, the quest is to find his orc girlfriend's sword. Same orc girlfriend that gets buckbroken the moment crusade gets tough. I've only remember talking with this gay when he has his portrait painted, when you kill Camellia and when you come back from the abyss and he whines how bad it was without you and how Drezen almost fell under his command.
Made by Paizo and ten times worse in the source material. Next try, Lariangay.
Nice falseflag, Lariantroony.
Paizo were always the bigger problem, games workshop might not exactly be unwoke but they aren't at the same level

Absolutely built for summary execution
Do you really think you'll be allowed to kill people indiscriminately in an owlcat game? A party member no less?
You always could, but not black ones.
Considering she's an unsanctioned psyker we better fricking be able to
You really haven't played any of those games, have you?
You can you fricking moron, you can command white goddess Sister Argenta to blast the psyker in the face.
You didn't play the beta.

Should have been a howling banshee instead of the stick we got.

Was for me too, then I saw what she does and now she's going out the airlock.
explain
Someone has been living under a rock huh
she betrays you
No matter what you do or how you treat her, she always sells you out to Dark Eldar, which is how you get to Act 3, Commorragh.
Is there an option not to recruit her in the first place?
Obviously
how do you get to commoragh then?
Someone else does it
I hate to say it but without the 40k setting bonus this kinda feels like a $30 game compared to Wrath of the Righteous. There's just less of everything if the 'beta' they shat out a while ago really is already half the game.
I just want a Ork companion who's personal quest is him looking for a bigger dakka.
I'll purchase any game which allows me to have an Ork bro who fights for the dumbest possible reasons.

Afaik no, dudes get gibbed and crits can one shot under some circumstances but it doesn't feel like the p&p.
I hope when they finally do a 40k anime it has romcom elements so we get to see all the people who insist nobody should ever date in the imperium really seethe at a whole new level, I wanna see will they won't they anime nonsense in an Administratum workplace show, I wanna see some poor guardsman who keeps tripping over and falling into the commissar's breasts
Actually I don't think I have ever seen a female commissar, although looking it up it seems there is a named one by the name of Severina Raine
We're defending romance in warhammer and that includes defending it from chink weeabo tranimenies like you. I suggest killing yourself, you filth
Post your models
The Imperium being good guys immediately makes them lame
There are no good guys in 40k
It's called Lamenters, son.
Individual people or organizations within a faction can be whatever they want to be. Good, bad, neutral...but it doesn't change the fact that everyone in 40K is an butthole.
The Imperium have been the de facto good guys since Rountree took over and canned the plans that were started by the Fall of Cadia. You cannot look at current 40k and tell me the Imperium ISN'T massively portrayed as heroes.
The Imperium has always been the de facto good guys of 40k.
Le good and ebil is subjective. My Good is burning moronic fricking aliens and torturing filthy heretics in the name of the emperor. Your Good is being gay or something while you get gangbanged by a whole host of demons. At the end of the day only one of these "Goods" will remain (mine).
I hate people who only get 40k lore info secondhand or from memes. Yes rogue traders frick and usually skirt the edge of what's acceptable but they have carte blanche to do so. Psykers aren't untouchable. Psykers are important throughout the imperium. When Navigators have children with non-navigators they come with no third eye.

>Sister of Battle
>a straight up Space Marine
>on the same level as a random human guy
The tabletop was one of the games that embraced some characters being shit at combat compared to others, but so useful for out of combat stuff they could still be the crux of the party. Especially as the system is lethal enough that you're encouranged to avoid combat when possible, unlike d&d dungeon crawl style rpgs.
That said a space marine still feels a bit extreme.
A rogue trader is technically also some random human guy, but if you are cool enough to become one, and one's Seanchal you are a cut above the rest of humanity. Not comparable to a space marine in combat prowess though, I have no idea how they plan to balance that. He might be a neophyte or something though, so recently got the implants but don't have the full experience of a full space marine.
Well he's a space wolf, so automatically more moronic and gay than other marines.
This wolf is pretty good, they added a good story about him being a skald on Fenris and a troll cursed him to never die a heroic death which clearly will be part of his character quest
>Sister of Battle
>on the same level as a random human guy
I mean, yeah? A SoB is just a trained woman and yours specifically doesn't even have a power armor.
And not, the SM is much stronger than the senechal.
You underestimate humans in warhammer
Typical Sister of Battle is not better at fighting than typical Cadian, she's just way better armed and has more faith implanted into her.
And rogue trader reutine are no typical humans - they are cream of the crop of priests, warriors, scum and techpriests. Some humans can even duel Astartes and win. I have no problem with Space Marine being part of the crew, I will have a problem if he is no better at fighting than, say, your psyker. Make him indespensable when fighting is required and not very useful when what you need is diplomacy or some other field of expertise.
I will be psyker
I will frick the fish
You can't do shit about it.
basado
Can you play a psyker in the game? I thought you'd just be some rogue trader noble.
Yes it's a class
yes, it's so much better than all the other "backgrounds" it's not even funny
all the other backgrounds get an ability or two at most
psyker gets like three whole additional skill trees to frick shit up with
Yes, but you need stats for psyker, it's not just free shit. Other backgrounds will be more useful for non psyker build.
It isn't fully released after all so most of the abilities are missing and it even tells you this in the character creation screen
nobody really cares bro. do whatever you want
>Roleplay as a devout emperor-fearing captain who will do his utmost to aid the inquisition, kill all mutants, heretics and xenos
>but will probably have to kill half the potential companions
Or should I go goody-two-shoes rogue trader that tries to find a balance with your companions. Owlcat games are fricking enormous so idk if I have the energy to do more than one playthrough.
>have the rare opportunity to do whatever you want with the permission from Emperor himself
>still decide to lock yourself in a walking parody of an imperial bootlicker
Bravo moron.
Rogue Traders are granted their writs by being great heroes of the imperium. At least that's how a dynasty starts, it's a great reward. You are basically the paragon of an imperial citizen, and rewarded accordingly. But the writs are passed down dynastically and with some generations of inbreeding we get people like you.
>God gave you free will
>Yet you still decide to do Good
>You bootlicker!
this but completely and utterly unironically
Your arrogance is an anchor for your soul
why yes I am quite a grounded person, thank you for noticing
Grounded to paste by your own shame as you realise the consequences of damning your soul
ok buddy, if I fear the big burning pit god made then I am not using the free will he gave me
who here is really following god's doctrine?
You can't truly do good if you do it out of fear, do it out of love
until god unmakes that unholy immortal torture chamber that ain't happening
your religion is built on fearful heretics
You're the one fearful to understand that you don't have to be a hateful, jaded person to live the life
You are the opposite of what the Emperor wanted.
But he is exactly what the emperor needed. The imperium, and by extension the galaxy, still stands, only because of faith in the God emperor.
Consider blowing your brains out, chaos troon. I will play a straight white male! I will worship the emperor! And there's nothing you can do to stop me!
I do it for evil bird women
I love my mutant fishwife
But you can, you can exterminate mutants and kill several of your potential companions just due to them being a mutant or not human.
It does collide with your interest as a Rogue Trader but you can even act like you keep some around soley because they have a use or they're more like an exotic pet.
Did you even play the beta?
Not really, no, I wanted not to spoil the game for myself and create a cool thread on Ganker where everyone can shit on everyone
Lies shame the Emperor anon.
I don't lie, I just don't respect the rogue traders, they're rascals and can not be trusted
For a fanbase that gets dozens of games a year yall sure do love to do nothing but whine.
>dozens of games a year
Prove it.
DoW is the only good game on the right. What a moronic image.
Warhammer also gets a lot of games, people just only play those 2, hell if anything you guys are pretty fricking spoiled considering the setting is dead
And those games are?
Chaosbane, Man o' War, Warhammer Quest, Mordheim
>b-but they;re shit!
not the point
Fair enough
+ Two Hero Quest games
+ Three Blood Bowl games
+ Age of Reckoning (the only good GW MMO, private server still active)
+ Vermintide 1 & 2 & VR
+ Total Warhammer 1 & 2 & 3
+ Battle March (TW clone)
+ Shadow of the Horned Rat
+ Talisman
There's really no shortage of Fantasy games, not sure why the seethe image is seemingly mandatory posting.
Blood Bowl is it's own IP
>Talisman
Really homie?
I guess battle fleet gothic, space hulk deathwing, space hulk tactics, necromunda and inquisitor don't count either then?
>Talisman
There's a 30K version too for what it's worth
Yes.
Fair enough
>Battle March (TW clone)
Another friggin tourist.
All TW games are a Shadow of The Horned Rat/Dark Omen copy when it comes to combat. Mark of Chaos and its expansion Battle March are all spiritual successors to SoTHR and DO along with being a spiritual predecessor to Total War Warhammer.

Hate this comissar looking ass. You're rogue trader, not a comissar.
You used to be a comissar before being a RT, what's so hard to understand
No comissar would dodge his duty on the frontlines of Imperium's wars so he can go make money in some forsaken corner of the galaxy
Here we go again. Commissars are humans you moron. They are well capable of changing their minds, their stances, their values, just like every other human.
They are indoctrinated from an early age. They are also orphans of war, each and every one. To have one become a rogue trader is heresy.
>indoctrination
As in not literal code programming into chips, as in breakable
>orphans of war
Does not make them incapable of deciding to pursue an independent path
>heresy
Humans are not incapable of mental gymnastics
I agree with the guy who is sperging out, there's no reason to make a rogue trader look like this unless you're trying to pad out the game with power fantasy bullshit for a moronic consumerbase. As the consumer base degrades, everything needs to be some sort of vapid power fantasy now. They won't let the player be some ratty miscreant who peddles refurbished bolters, he needs to be a big important badass with gold armor. Because That's You!™
It's just a portrait you fricking crybaby, holy shit. Pick the criminal one, then
I notice the pattern here, so I'm a crybaby, huh? Have fun with your game, maybe you can follow it up with playing the Halo franchise and top it off with some GoW.
Never played those, I will however play WotR once again, play Angel and one shot everything while everyone sucks my dick because of how awesome I am
You aren't allowed to deny a rogue trader's wishes, especially not as some low rank soldier
Taking up the mantle as rogue trader is his duty.
That warrant of trade was issued by the emperor himself. Not takking that position would be shirking one's duty.
Unavoidable and you know it, at least the space combat was enjoyable.
Well yes, 40k had for years the issue that its "fanbase" often didn't engage with the tabletop or the books and only consumed the memes and some vidya.
>RT includes an Eldar character
>She's a shining example of why Eldar fricking suck, causing so much hatred for her character that people ask for a flat out rewrite
>Owlcat refuses and says they'll just add more details to make it more obvious
I still insist that the issue was how owlcat executed that "twist".
The way it's written and the previous interaction leave it lacking
Although considering they introduce her to you as an eldar and have you fight her kin before you find clues that eldar are on the planet my standards are perhaps just too high.
Okay tell owlcat to remove it from the game then
She's an Eldar. The only people who would ever even recruit her are tertiaries who fall for the 'Muh Eldar waifu' memes without knowing anything about them. Everyone who knows Eldar and isn't a degenerate will shoot her on sight.
>The only people who would ever even recruit her are tertiaries
Like how the goblin the succubus and the sociopath undead betrayed you in Pathfinder? shut the frick up moron
Eldar are genuinely less trustworthy than those races. There have at least been twists on thise before.
Eldar have literally never been anything except self-centered arrogant pieces of shit who do nothing but cry about prophecies that are 'too complex' for other races right before they get massacred because they're morons. Eldar literally deserve all of the hate they get.
Still fricked that the only Xeno option we got was Eldar.
>No Tau companion constantly trying to urge you to consider taking less for The Greater Good
>No Ork freeboota just there so long as you pay him and he gets to shoot a lot of gits
>Just an Eldar that does the Eldar thing of backstabbing you for her own ends
They'll probably add some as DLC
It honestly depends. Is she an Eldar, or a dark Eldar? Because dark eldar get the bullet.
She's an eldar but...
If she is an eldar, I'll give her a chance. If she is working with her dark brethren, she gets a bullet. Simple as.
That's fine anon
better get your bolt ready
The irony is palpable in this post.
What does this make you then?
>What does this make you then?
Somebody who actually played the game you posted with a group that acknowledged Eldar party members is a moronic concept.
Sounds like you and your friends are a bunch of morons then I guess.
>Nooooo you have to abide by muh hecking eldar waifus
Shut up, gay. Xenos get the bolt.
Okay schizo.
>Everyone who knows Eldar and isn't a degenerate will shoot her on sight.
Guess Guilliman is a degenerate.
Guilliman's depressed. He let Yvraine go because he knew he'd feel bad about killing her, as well as the fact that she wasn't a threat at all.
I must confess I fricking love the memes about Girlyman having an eldar gf. They're stupid and awful but I just can't help myself.
It's funnier when you realize Yvraine is pretty much the only Eldar character most people know, and it's specifically because of those memes.
I love the memes too, but even ignoring it the fact is that he didn't instantly try and kill her on sight.
To be fair she did help revive him so he probably saw that maybe all xeno aren't so bad
Besides Guilliman doesn't harbor the same xenophobia as other primarchs, he grew up on a planet where diplomacy was the first option
Alpharius and Omegon weren't xenophobic as well.
Given the fact they did listen to a eldar prophecy, probably
Some primarchs weren't xenophobic
You mean like that one time the DE popped on to repair the golden throne? Or that time a harlequin got sent to the emperor because the eldar wanted to assist against the beast and was let go by the inquisition?
Eldar have never been shoot on sight for RTs or Inquisitors, moronic tertiary.
>I know all about 40k from youtube videos
>both
You mean like all five or six of them, right?
Unironic fascists have ruined 40K by their sperging out over the Imperium not running like it does on paper
>Imperium not running like it does on paper
what are you talking about, gaygit
It's the kind of mindset where /misc/ thinks there was no prostitutes in Nazi Germany just because Hitler declared it degenerate. No regime operates like it's intended to
The "secondaries" and "tertiaries" are the ones who unironically believe the Imperium propaganda
I just hope that the last third of the game isn't a massive slog like all of Owlcat's other games.
It will be
is it out?
December 7
how woke is it
it's not out how would we know
>he doesn't know
The first one and a half, maybe two chapters are playable if you pirate it or get into the beta, either or. guess which I did
Very, don't play it, leave and never come back unless you want to be infected with the woke virus like us
Frick off, troony. You're a pox on WRPGs
Not very. Especially compared to its contemporaries in the WRPG genre. I appreciate the fact that you can brutally murder almost anyone that you dislike and that the game acknowledges this through dialogue and story too.
>criminal scum doesn't like enforcers
No way!
This is on a criminal frontier colony btw
The problem isn't that there wouldn't be graffiti there in the lore, you fricking morons.
Well, what is the problem then? That it's in english instead of pseudo-latin? Because that's been a thing for a long time now.
That it's a heavy-handed play on ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS, which is incredibly fricking poor writing as well as CURRENT DAY virtue signaling.
>But that's a phrase that could exist on its own!
You're absolutely right, it could, but it doesn't. It exists in a game made by people from our world, and it's in the exact same vein as if it said 'PSYKER LIVES MATTER' instead.
You know that you can kill the faction who sprayed shit like this in the game, right? And no, you are not punished or patronized for it like in most other "RPGs".
It's not about the fricking in-universe meaning, man. I can't tell you enough that I'm not bothered by someone in the setting writing that. It's about the developers and their intent in writing that, putting it front and center, and what they intended you, the player, to feel. You're not 'punished' but it's positioned like an Evil route, which is a value judgement made by the developers about the kind of people who'd align with the Enforcers and not the criminals. Again, I believe something like that might have been written, but it should've been SOMETHING LIKE THAT, not that specific political statement which telegraphs the whole intention.
>putting it front and center
I genuinely missed it entirely while playing through that chapter.
>You're not 'punished' but it's positioned like an Evil route
No it's not. This isn't Dragon Age or Mass Effect or other patronizing "RPGs". You are building up a strawman here.
The problem is that it's very clearly contemporary politics lifted straight out of real life political issues and transplanted into the game.
That means rather than drawing the viewer to the universe, it just reminds people of real life; the opposite of what you're trying to do with escapism. It's hamfisted and ultimately moronic. It's a clear indication the developers harbor particular beliefs and need you to think along the same political lines as them - and that goes regardless of which side of "all cops are bastards" you sit on.
Because being on either side of the equation is already immersion breaking. You shouldn't be thinking about politically charged phrases you've heard in real life showing up in your videogame set tens of thousands of years in the future. There is no reason you can't create similar sentiments but without stealing from and pushing modern political views. In other words: They should never have used x are bastards, and instead come up with their own political slogans that would have been born out of the lore and setting itself and not modern woke ideological wars.
In their defense, you do spend most of your time there systematically eradicating those scum
So far there has been absolutely zero pozz.
>owltroony
>zero pozz
come on anon, you don't have to lie
All of the owlcat's pozz comes from IP's owner.
Quite a bit, most of the people telling you it isn't there lack the intelligence to understand how woke infests things through the framing itself.
When you encounter le stronk woman badass who fights on the frontlines with the men and can arm wrestle an ogre, their 95 IQ minds can't comprehend that this is an element of progressive wokism. They are so steeped in woke ideology that they can't even see it around them. It's just "normal".
The game is heavy on the woke framing and light on in your face propaganda.
HH RPG would have been more interesting.
An H-RPG? I know, imagine the Slaanesh sex
Filthy tourist.
You play as a Rogue Trader. They don't abide to standard Imperial stuff. They are given a permit/letter of marque to do whatever the frick they want and not even the Inquisition can do about it. All of this as long as they are doing their job of exploring space.

>get all their lore from YouTube videos

But Owlcat has gone out of their way to say that whatever romance Yrilet has is going to be different than standard romance.
The only thing she's getting is BLAMMED after betraying me
Have you ever read a gaygier fricking description?
>His hands... scarlet, not with berry juice... but with BLUDD
Each character was written by their own writer, which is why they feel so different. That one was either a homosexual or a woman
They need to fire everyone but whoever wrote Daeran. He was the only one that wasn't a snooze or actively awful.
Fujos should be flayed alive
Fujos are stacys, I have to begrudgingly respect them.
Don't think it was treated as a good thing. But like the only gay option being the psychopathic degenerate space elf that gets of on murder.
>Fujos are stacys
That would be Yumes, not Fujoshits.
I don't like or agree with him, but he's well written. At least compared to other characters.
I belive it's a reference to a quote "Hard to Be a God" by Strugatsky where in the ending after a guy breaks under pressure and just massacres people he was sent to "civilize" his friend comes to visit him in the hospital and sees his hands red from berry juice. Also, what would you write, "HE'S A Black person Black person Black person"? This summs up his character as schmaltzy homosexual who came to war.
He shouldn't exist at all, yes.
Paizo character.
*Pozzo
>Also, what would you write, "HE'S A Black person Black person Black person"?
Something that doesn't sound unbearably fricking wanky. The problem isn't that there's no poetry, it's that it sounds incredibly whiny and needy, like it's begging you to care about this abloo-bloo, and no, Sosiel himself being whiny doesn't justify this because it's written by that evil b***h at the end.
>The Crusade is indiscriminate — demons care little whether they trample plows or paintings, and neither does it matter whether a soldier or an artist runs them through. Though he does his duty in devotion to Saranrae, Sosiel's heart is kind and holds no love for war.
I shat that out in five minutes. Don't you dare tell me it's even half as homosexual as what was written, and I did it for free to boot.
Sosiel worships Shelyn not Sarenrae moron
My mistake, I was thinking of the other Deity prominently mentioned by a Kingmaker companion whose name starts with S. How silly of me.
I expect to not get secondhand embarrassment for the writer, at the very fricking least.
>the other Deity prominently mentioned by a Kingmaker companion whose name starts with S
No, that's Tristian, not Stristian
moron
Moreover, there's just a lot of embarrassingly bad lines. It feels like a game in early access where they haven't had time to double-check the script and say "does any of this sound like an autistic 14-year-old on Tumblr would've put this line in their fanfiction in 2011?"
Quite a funny play on my words, anon. Kudos.
He is a cleric for a god of gays, who did you expect him to be?

How many csm do I get to shit on as a regular human?
Which faction would win if:
>Emperor fully came back with the rest of the lost Primarchs
>The Tau are given enough time for their technology to advance uncontrollably
>The Eldar fully awaken Ynnead
>All the Necron awake and find all the C'Tan shards
>Every single Ork come together under the ultimate WAAAAAGH
>The rest of the tyranids outside the galaxy all arrive at the same time
The Imperium would win because the Emperor coming back means he's become a capital-G God, and he can just delete whatever threatens humanity from existence entirely.
tyranids always
Hive Mind can't do shit against an awakened Emperor.
wrong
>>The rest of the tyranids outside the galaxy all arrive at the same time
Probably this.
The Tau, they got on par with everyone else withing 6000 years, give them another ten and they'll outpace everyone else
The Tau are a background footnote that only 'won' against the Imperium because the Imperium had other bigger issues going on and couldn't afford to spend the logistics fighting both the Nids and the Tau at once in one area of space, and only continue to exist because of plot armor.
If Emporer comes back doesn't that make him a star child and the empire auto win the entire campaign?
The Beast Waaagh almost destroyed the Imperium.
Get enough orks together all focused on a single goal and literally no one can stop them
Orks are given alot of plot armor so the entirety of reddit can jerk off to whatever wacky shenanigans they get up to next. They're literally comedy relief and shouldn't be taken seriously.
If Emperor comes back as a God then the Imperium, otherwise Tyranids. I'll confess I'm not super up to date about the Ynnead lore though
The Enforcers are literally there to enforce (hence the name) compliance with the Imperium including tithes, which are designed to squeeze as much output from world's as possible. They're not loyal to the world they're on and are there to keep the local governor in line, not make life better for anyone (although killing cults DOES help people tbf). Criminals, mutants and the impoverished masses fear them but don't necessarily like them. Even if it's winking towards an IRL meme it's not particularly out of universe
The necrons were literally one of the two major factions of the war in heaven but I think it would go between humanity; necrons; or tyranids.
What the frick can they do against a full tyranid invasion? They can literally cut off access to the warp
Necrons are the only faction that is War in Heaven-tier still. They also are Super Effective against the Nids so the bugs aren't even competition. The Tyranids come second simple by numerical advantage and the fact that fighting against the Orks just supercharges them via biomass. Orks are third because that probably would be enough to boost them back to War in Heaven-tier albeit still not enough of them to win without the Old Ones managing them. Tau are a joke and will encounter a Men of Iron situation soon enough. Eldar are a joke. The Emperor and Primarchs are far less important than the loss of Humanity's technology. A better comparison would be if the Imperium found a completely intact vault of the entire set of Golden Age military STCs. That would make for a good fight against the Necrons, Nids and Orks.
The Emperor being a God in the warp would definitely put humanity on top.
Based heterosexual fish
I want to deepthroat her gills
Calm down blindwildcat
I like how people who hate WotR always cite the two characters that nobody likes as an example of the bad writing, as if the entire game was just Sosiel and Seelah and there aren't characters like Regill, Camellia or Daeran.
>Writer's pet, generic psychopath and fujobait
wow
You never played it.
It's one of those things where the existence of the first two nullifies the existence of the other three. Like, would you rather have one thousand skittles with one poisoned skittle somewhere in it, or would you rather have 900 skittles with no poisoned skittle?
>or would you rather have 900 skittles with no poisoned skittle?
Any examples of a video game like that? In terms of writing, I mean. Bonus points if it's in a genre like RPGs where writing is somewhat important, so no AC6 or something like that.
Modern? No idea. Old? Arcanum, I suppose.
Are you claiming that there aren't real world references in Arcanum? You're either lying or you never actually played it.
No, I'm saying there's no wokeshit in Arcanum you fricking moron.
Okay, but I can also just go for the one that's 100 percent poison-free. Why even bother? And in the specific example, it'll be difficult to play the game without the troony paladin acting as your frontliner, if you're playing a caster. Which means in almost all cases you NEED to have her.
>No, I'm saying there's no wokeshit in Arcanum you fricking moron.
Several NPCs in that game advocate for communism. Before you say "well you can disagree and even kill them", the same thing applies to Rogue Trader.
Literally none of them do. Quote book and verse, you utter buffoon.
>inb4 Donn Throgg
He was advocating for ork rights, which isn't the same thing as Communism.
NTA but the ork revolution was very clearly an allegory for what can easily be interpreted as "woke" material and you know it.
No, it can't. Stop lying you absolute frickwit. Wokeshit is globohomosexual propaganda.
No it wasn't. Wokeshit is globohomosexual propaganda.
>civil rights movement and black power isn't globohomo, but ACAB is
lol
All of those are globohomo. Worker rights aren't, as they were organized by the workers themselves, because globohomosexual didn't exist at the time you hideous wiener.
Besides I'm still waiting for you to quote the anti-capitalism meme-spouting NPC or the Commie NPC. Go ahead I'm waiting. You've never played the game.
>because globohomosexual didn't exist at the time
lmao
>the ork revolution was strictly about worker rights, it had absolutely nothing to do with racism
Keep going man, this is getting really funny.
I accept your concession. Shit or get off the pot.
Who do you think chanted ACAB in the first place? Are you moronic?
Now you're being disingenuous.
There's a difference between a meme and a shibboleth, yes. If you didn't have a room temperature IQ you would know that. And "ACAB" dates back to the 1920s, and not the late 1800s, which is the timeline of Arcanum, you kissless virgin.
Quote me book and verse homosexual. Burden of proof is on you.
>And "ACAB" dates back to the 1920s, and not the late 1800s, which is the timeline of Arcanum, you kissless virgin.
Like I said, autism. Can't even discern fiction from reality and thinks Arcanum released in the late 1800s, because that's when the game takes place. The mind of a child.
>Arcanum
You mean the game which has several dialogues which are just a direct reference to anti-capitalist memes?
Arcanum predates memes as you understand them, you profound moron.
Memes have been around for thousands of years. I was talking about that kind of meme, not your fricking reddit pictures, you dumb c**t.
All right, then would you kindly quote book and verse about these anti-capitalist memesters?
No, it hasn't, you dumb homosexual tool. I predate Eternal September, and the classic definition of the meme, as a "viral image macro" has only been a thing since 2003-ish, whereas the earliest "meme" in the traditional format has AT BEST been AYBABTU, which is from 2001, when it achieved memetic status, the same year as Arcanum (which obviously would've been in development for at least 2 years)
Honestly, you really need to make sure you have a triple digit IQ before you argue with me? It saves so much time for me and you from acting like an absolute c**t of a buffoon.
"Hello, World" is a computer related meme and from 1978.
WRONG. It's a shibboleth.
>inb4
the second definition, fricktard
Actual autism.
I accept your concession.
Even the internet version of "memes" has been around since the 90s, zoomzoom.
Except in this case you already have a friend warning you which is the poisoned one and quarantined it, but you throw the entire bag out anyway.
Let's discuss how Wenduag goes from
>let's make a pragmatic Evil choice, here's my reasoning. I don't know you, you don't know me, but you can see the rationale in what I'm saying

>Mwahahaha! I love eating people, my evil master with a powerful angel sword! let's kill this goody two shoes who I was always going to kill, just like I was going to kill you but now I'm not! and then we can make everyone eat the flesh and become evil monsters mwahahaha >:D
One of the worst, most offensive writing moments I've ever fricking seen. She'd been built up as an interesting Evil choice, who was rarely nice but always practical, to the least practical and least nice and just fricking moronic. Why did she just start talking like Gollum? Why did she reveal her entire evil plan when she'd been incredibly subtle and careful before this point? Why did she openly threaten Lann, something that didn't benefit her at all? Why did the writers throw away all the promise in this moment just for artificial drama?
In case you didn't notice in the very first hour of the game, she was luring mongrels into the Labirynth to force them to eat Aasimar flesh
Yes brainlet, that's what he's talking about, at first she seems reasonable even if she's a c**t, but the instant the jig is up with Hosilla and Savamelekh is up she reveals how much of a cartoon villain she is
Sounds to me like you got duped, like an idiot.
Yes, Anon, I understand this. I'm not mad that she was Evil. I'm mad that she was Stupid Evil when she was initially written to be very clever, scheming with you for a pragmatic purpose that served her purpose (and the tribe's where it aligned with her), and then as soon as you get to that point she just changes into Gollum written by committee.
She apparently is clever if she managed to make a moron out of you.
Don't you pathfinderBlack folk have a thread already? frick off
zoomers encounters their first in-game reference to a real world phrase. There are hundreds of references to gulf war era phrases in the early 90s games.
>russian made trash
Reminder to pirate this
Slava Ukraine!
Modern inquisiton believe that being mono dominant is a childish idea and for weaklings(despite it being Big E original vision)
more like it just wasn't written by Cornelius O'Ball lmao
>valerie in km
>camellia in wrath
>now cassia in rt
The straight romance options for males are ALWAYS the worst when it comes to Owlkek.
>Triggered by bisexual women
>Comparing my fishfu with that manjawed c**t or the psychopath that dumps your ass
Anon... Your fishwife has an expiration date it will certainly dump your ass before becoming [REDACTED]
Not at all, I'll stay with her even after she becomes a mutant abomination
But those were the best romances. Oh let me guess, you're the one who thinks Valerie "cucks" you, am I right?
>he was being an allegory for the civil rights movement, it wasn't communism
Oh good, well, in that case it wasn't woke at all!
Valerie in km is best romance.
Completely and utterly mogged by one twin, let alone two of them
The amount of people who care about romance in a 40k game is baffling. The amount of crying when it was reveled that Cassia only likes men on top of that shitty interview where they kept trying to gaslight Owlcat about lgbt shit was fricking hilarious.
>in a 40k game
No, this is an owlcat game, a crpg that uses the Warhammer setting
There's been romance in the 40k setting since the very first 40k novels ever written, The Inquisition Wars trilogy by Ian Watson. It's been present in the books of Dan Abnett, Graham McNeill and Sandy Mitchell, too.
>You can't be extremly xenophobic and genocidal
Not the roguetrader way and if you were a REAL warhammer dude you would know this.
You fricking poser.
IT GOES IN ALL FIELDS
Abaddon the Despoiler and the entire Black Legion are coming for you and only your favorite chapter stands between him and your life. Will you make it out alive. Spoiler He brought his arms with him
Dark Angels. I'm not even worried.
its OwlBlack person's game. you can expect it to be:
1 Unfinished (All acts after second one will be empty)
2 Black folk
3 Buggfest
4 Trannies
5 more Black folk
6 Shit writing
7 Gay couples will be majority
8 Cuck shit
>already a fat fricking lie in the first point
I think you're confusing this with BG3.
>Kingmaker and WotR
>after second one will be empty
The third and fourth act of each of those are literally the busiest acts of their respective games, you ESL mongoloid.
i just love skipping days in kingmaker's last chapter, just for the plot to progress
owlBlack person shills are the worst
>Third and fourth act
>"Kingmaker's last chapter"
based moron
what about 2-8
Dumb frogposter.
moronic owlBlack person
>third and fourth act
>last chapter
Keep moving that goalpost.
Haven't seen any trannies or gays, but most of it is true, one of the companions is a Black person that you kill and another is a gypsy, which you also kill. Writing was decent, however
How many normal humans armed with a pistol and a knife does it take to take down a single space marine?
Define "normal human".
a dude in the army
The 40k army or the real life army? Which army, be more fricking specific.
Yeah
One. If he gets lucky shot in the eye.
That wouldn't even slow a space marine down.
That killed imperial fist chapter master. lucky shot through eye lense. Their eyes arent armored
I wouldn't feel confident until there are at least 100 humans, power armor is no joke.
nah, 100 if hes been injured and ran out of ammo, and each human has some sort of pickaxe, heavy blunt object, or a weapon capable of penetrating ceramite. If not, and just kitchen knifes and hammers etc? you'd need at least a thousand+ fanatics. Astartes physiology is a fricking meme, they'd run an ultramarathon world champion to death carrying their own bodyweight.
1 if he has plot armor.
>Impreccable
>Jae more than Heinrix
>Impreccable
>Jae more than Heinrix
Women are less likely to play vidya, even a subhuman like her would obviously get more votes.
If I had to choose I would still go for Heinrix, and least he's a genuinely respectable person.
Or you could just not romance anyone, you flaming homosexual
>not romancing cassia every playthrough
Turns out you're the homosexual
We were talking about Jae and Heinrix moronbro...
I said if I HAD to choose.
I wouldn't know, I barely played the beta since it was quite buggy. I'm not having high hopes since it's a 2023 release.
>since it was quite buggy
Nobody would believe me and think that I'm a shill but I didn't encounter any in the previous beta version (they updated it last week or so).
Thoughts on reddit's taste?
Impeccable in this case, for the first time ever.
Dogshit for wotr, where they voted against best waifu
>where they voted against best waifu
I don't even need to check to know that Arue won though
Lot of gay but honestly probably the same as ours
Are they still b***hing about the gay options?
https://www.reddit.com/r/RogueTraderCRPG/comments/1725ezk/the_romance_discourse_is_so_funny/
Yes
Why do they hate us gay bros?
>fish stans confirmed reddit
Yrliet bros we win again.
>stans
Speaking of reddit
Based. I'll be Yrliet's pleasure pet and I will like it.
>Yeah bro who cares if the betrays me and tries to get me killed
>Yeah bro who cares if she gets creampied by someone else I'll gladly clean it up
>instantly thinks of cuckshit
Holy moly talk about rent free.
Staying with someone who tried to kill you is on the same level as being a cuck yes
basic b***h taste. completely in line with Ganker's
>t. malding fujo
Don't think fujos are too unhappy they got Jimmie to corrupt and the deldar.
They should've made every male character bi at this point.
So do I actually buy and sell shit in this to make a profit? Could be fun
Not at all, the "trader" part is entirely arbitrary
Could of had a big titted tau waifs in the game
But it doesn't
Missed opportunity will no not buy
They don't look like cute anime girls moron, post the real ones
Pornaddicted homosexuals like you are truly a plague.
Frick off, troon. Stay on Twitter and Resetera
Trannies are more likely to watch porn since they're clearly mentally ill and addicted to it.
i was thinking that you guys were joking that 40k kids are afraid of sex, what the frick
Americans in general are
It's extra funny when 40k books are actually full of references to romance and sex and tertiaries just ignore those because it doesn't fit their headcanon.
Hell, the Ciaphas Cain series' entire premise is Cain's inquisitor GF auditing his memoirs and getting really catty whenever she comes across yet another one of his increasingly improbable sexual conquests
And by "40k kids" you mean people who only know about the franchise through shitty youtube videos.
Did they announce the SoB romance yet? If they're gonna break lore willy nilly then give me a sickly sweet vanilla romance with my Sororitas.
>If they're gonna break lore willy nilly
Nothing like that has happened so far.
>Sister of Battle in party, abandoning her order to join with a group of people/mutants/aliens therefore going against her sword creed
>Space Marine joining, going against chapter and working with an alien
>Eldar joining, no one batting an eye
>Visiting a place assumed to be Commoragh, the most highly secretive location in 40k and you can do it with a human psyker on your team breaking the only rule of the city
>"t-they're not breaking lore!!!"
Ah I see the 40k tourist has arrived, did Space Marine bring you here or another knockoff game?
>I have literally never read or played anything Rogue Trader related
Holy frick, the gall to call the other anon a tourist.
You have never touched a Rogue Trader game before, guaranteed.
neither have you so just drop the act
>no u
Riveting.
you read about it on /tg/ or more likely some wiki/reddit. its ok
Answer to
It's literally in the rulebook. Run away with shit in your diapers because you are objectively wrong.
>You have never touched a Rogue Trader game before
Isn't the tabletop game really old? Or it simply doesn't get periodically raped with new editions like D&D?
Rogue Trader in it's official form is from 2009.
of Battle in party
Marine joining
joining
All of these are mentioned in examples in the RT rulebook.
a place assumed to be Commoragh
It's a stretch, but there has been much weirder shit in the novels too.
Rogue Trader: The Soul Reaver, a supplement for the original fricking tabletop game, is literally about going to Comorragh with your crew, you moronic fricking imbecile.
I have a lore question for 40K
Considering 90% of the loyalist primarch are gone while the traitor ones can just resurrect, what prevents them from just finishing off the imperium
Guilliman won't be able to do shit against them
Problem with being a daemon is that you cant stay in material universe forever. Thats why Abbadon still rejecting daemonhood after 10.000 years.
>owlcat
gonna have to wait 5 years before you can properly play this buggy shit, just wait for extended deluxe edition™ cause those shitty vatniks are just underwhelming in every way
>secondaries think Owlcat invented the Koronus Expanse setting
Every time.
99% doesn't even realize that all the homosexualry in WotR comes from the source material.
>secondary makes bold and moronic claim
>doubles down
>gets proven wrong
>immediately stops replying
>be one among trillions of people granted permission to interact/trade with xenos
>”I wanna be unreasonably xenophobic!”
You don’t deserve your warrant of trade
>I wanna be unreasonably xenophobic!
It's only logical.
>just because you're allowed to cohort with evil, means that you SHOULD cohort with evil.
Animals like you are why the heresy occurred in the first place.
Larping cringe Black person
The best trade deal is everything the xenos have in exchange for ammunition.
>in exchange for ammunition.
delivered straight into their skulls
What kind of mental illness is this?
A bot
But for what reason?
It's not a bot, it's the "I love Reisen" guy
Where is my Kroot companion?

Sorry anon harlequin are for non-companion shenanigans only.
But you can meet a friendly-ish solitaire.
>But you can meet a friendly-ish solitaire.

Yeah.
I recall dataminig a conversation you can have with him and Yrliet in Commorragh, agaik he also helps you to get out of the city
fish pussy
forced bad ending
forced impregnation (by me)
ye and then you get bad ended by owlkeks in the ending slides
Define bad end
you die, fish die
Likely
Cuck fantasy
She leaves you to get mating pressed by a fat bastard. Schizos love screeching about cuckoldry in pathfinder, they're gonna have a field day with this one
This is why I dispize the majority of the 40k fandom.
You all dont realize that rouge traders were basically given lore to do what ever the frick they want as long as they are expanding the borders, because GW wanted to provide a way for People to role play a wide array of characters including those outside of humanity, and they that uneasy relation between a human and a xeno working together would provide an interesting narrative but 90% of the fandom is to moronic to think that much and either goes with "MUH WIFU ELDAR!" or "FOR THE EMPRAH! SHOOT DEM!"
