I'm sick of body type shit as well but just having characters have sexual preferences puts them in the upper tier already.
[...] >Did they remove the "male" and "female" from character creation
Yes
Why do people get so mad about "body type"?
I think we should use that on our bathrooms instead, because no matter what gender the troonfreaks think they are, their body type will always he 1 (male).
They can't argue that "i am a lady so i can use the ladies room" because "sorry sir, this is a body type 2 bathroom, you are clearly body type 1"

tldr - it wont work
Great fucking job. Im so sick of this garbage. It was totally fine to not be brainfucked and inserting this progressive garbage propaganda in beta, but now they go all out? have a nice day. As if i will buy it now lmao. I will never support this shit financially. Saved 60 bucks, torrent it is. Might even drop it down the line since this shit gets on my nerves too much as of late. I start to understand why people had civil wars. I would eradicate any bastard that sees no problem with this shit or even worse, advocates for it. Total death.
It's not a bad name but I will go with a woman's name when I name my ship.
I also do not know what sort of character I will make at the moment, but I look forward to some good build autism on release.
Why did they make her so obscenely overpowered? >huge ass AoE skills that hit half the battlefield for damage + cc >can easily kill mass weak enemies in 1 AP >can also debuff enemy stats by -30 in 1 turn (permanent) at the same time >can regen 1/3 to 1/2 her HP every turn >can get tankier HP than the main companion tank due to it scaling off her mage stat than notConstitution >this is all but in minutes of recruiting her
She literally just carries my whole team.
Is this waifu power/pandering?
She's a navigator, and a particularly powerful one at that. If anything, they'd downplaying how powerful she's supposed to be. She should be able to solo armies of Chaos Space Marines just by lifting up her tiara. But then, you'd have the issue of her potentially one-shotting her allies.
Navigators have a third "warp eye" that allows them to navigate the Warp on their foreheads. Canonically, anyone who looks into a fully opened warp eye, or "The Lidless Stare," dies instantly as their soul is sucked into the immaterium. So, if an army of Chaos Space Marines were looking at Cassia, and she just lifted her tiara while her warp eye was giving the Lidless Stare, they'd all get their souls sucked out of their bodies. Thus, Cassia could potentially solo a traitor legion if she caught them with their pants down.
Even the emperor? Even the primarchs? How has warfare NOT devolved into Navigators being mass bred and put on hoverbikes to drive-by-stare entire armies then?
Well, partially because navigators are rare, valuable and unstable mutants that are critical to warp travel, but also because the Lidless Stare doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. If you're going to drive a navigator around giving everything the Lidless Stare, you might as well just drop a nuke on the area.

How to make Argenta, Heinrix and Pascal good?
Especailly Pascal and Heinrix.
is Argenta basically just "spam weapon with highest burst auto fire"?
How to keep her alive, she seems ultra glass cannon and needs to be close for burst to work, no?
>Buff argenta while debuffing enemies >Kill fodder to fill heroic bar >She can do it all over again probably clearing half the map
>Buff heinrix and let him do his own biomancer buff >Get close and kick chaos marine in the balls >Dodge/resist almost everything
>Let pasqual wield force/power weapons easily, ranged and melee cause tech-priest baby >Let him tank easily hits cause tech-priest baby >He also has unique buffs/debuffs, cause techpriest baby
It's worth having more than one leader/officer so you can prep more than one character
Argenta isn't that good in Beta. What makes the Hunter class strong goes in direct opposition to what makes marksman good.
Or in other words, there's not enough AP to set up a hunter oneshot and use run and gun.
Adepts also outdamage argenta easily as soon as they gain access to high RoF weapons. She can't compete and no anon has ever posted proof of her doing so.
So me Argenta doing 300-400+ damage. They won't. She's shit. Her only purpose is feeding you momentum with her priest skill.
They reworked it in the release version, clue does more damage now but charges are all used up on the first hit so single shot big damage weapons like snipers and meltas are actually better for it now.

>You can make an extremely strong character, be it melee, ranged, tank or support
What are the best tips to start out, I keep getting gunned by laser burst weapon from the other side of the screen even with cover
Easy advice for early on if you worry is to make a high strength character build so you can wear heavy armor and have good deflection. Good for early game mitigation (probably not as good when necrons start sniping). There are abilities that specifically boost deflection and tougness overall.
Also, raise medicae to get more out of medkits
I personally really liked the siege.
Doing it with a different party composition with minimal resting was nice. Encounter design kinda peaks there too.
My best still required 1 rest though
For me its the lost chapel (BEFORE you beat nulkineth, the exploration of the other half is a pure slog). It just has such a desperate, spooky atmosphere, and when your theme kicks in indicating its time to save it day it is great.
chapter two in its entirety is great tbh. it's where the game peaks

Yeah, also I like to see the process of game development changes. What is tweaked, what is added, what is overall changed and removed. I think that's fun.
The "Emperor of Mankind's Fuckboat" has a nice ring to it, because I am a pathetic limpdick who will undoubltably be building my harem of NPC waifus and femboys. If there is an actual game underneath that, its a bonus.
He's supposed to carry heavy weapons while still being able to parry in melee. Honestly if you can go Arch militant via Adept, it wouldn't be a bad option for him.
But you'll probably want to go strategist or tactician depending on the given abilities. Clues should be more than enough to maximize his damage output but Hunter does enable a guaranteed instant kill against any enemy in the game unless they finally nerfed it.
I dont know shit about warhammer but looking it up "god of pleasure and hedonism." I feel like too many people would side with the bad guys and succumb to the slaanussy
the issue with Slaanesh is that like any addiction, the amount of degeneracy you need to be satisfied endlessly increases. An initiate might be sated with just plain sex drugs and rock and roll but soon they will only be able to feel anything if they're jerking off with baby scalps while doing it.
Yeah i get that, but a videogame company isnt going to put "jerking off with baby scalps" into their game, and its a videogame so people's decisions don't actually affect then personally, so they will make the coomer choice
I like all of them except Jae who seems the like Isabela from DA2 but worse. Maybe I will be suddendly surprised by masterstroke storytelling 3 acts in but I think her character is as lame as it seems.
Don't know what to make of edgy elf, but he will be interesting at the very least for whatever playtrough I can justify not killing him in.
> Like Isabela from DA2 but worse
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.

Because the Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40k is based pretty directly on the Imperium in Dune. In Dune, the Imperium is feudal monarchy comprised of noble houses who compete with each other for control over planets and are all at least nominally loyal to the Padishah Emperor, with their power checked somewhat by CHOAM and the Spacing Guild having a complete monopoly on interplanetary commerce and space travel respectively.
The Imperium of 40k is also run largely by a group of noble houses, though their power is somewhat dwarfed by the Golden Throne and the Ecclesiarchy (the Imperium of Man being based more on the God-Emperor of Dune than anything else), and they take the idea of "space nobility" humorously literally, by having them prefer to dress up as 18th and 19th century European nobles.
I've never read Dune, I keep putting it off because I want to pick up some good hard cover versions. Does the fourth book conclude in a way that doesn't lead into further books?

You basically have 5 options.
You can just read the first book. It's a classic sci-fi story that's basically required reading for sci-fi fans.
You can read the first two books. They tell the complete story of Paul. The story from this point forward becomes less about space fights and action scenes and more about political maneuvering and philosophical musing. Also, you probably don't want to read the second book if you want to see Paul as a genuine messiah figure.
You can read the first four books. The first two books and the next two books tell more or less complete stories. Expect for shit to start getting really weird, especially once you hit God Emperor of Dune.
You can read all six of Frank Herbert's Dune novels. You should be warned that the final two books were intended to be a trilogy to wrap up the Dune saga, but the final book was never written. This is only recommended if you just cannot get enough of Dune and are willing read a story you know is going to end on a cliffhanger that will never be followed up on.
You can read ALL the Dune novels including the Brian Herbert series. This is a good option if you just like the word "Dune." Herbert's son Brian has been shitting out a small library of "Dune" novels with some hack named Kevin Anderson. They are all ostensibly based on his father's notes, if that helps, though as time goes on this claim gets more and more dubious unless Frank Herbert kept notes on pointless minute details like the lives of Chani and Irulan before the start of the first book. In addition, these books can kind of contradict the Frank Herbert Dune novels. For instance, the Butlerian Jihad is portrayed as essentially a war against robot Nazis in the Brian Herbert novels, when in the original Dune books the Butlerian Jihad seemed to be more a religious-philosophical movement against humanity's over-dependence on AI.

5 and 6 are part of their own trilogy.

You're right. Dune, after all, is about a galaxy-spanning empire that has banned all AI, uses mutant "Navigators" for interplanetary travel and, as the books go on, comes to be dominated by a religious fanatics who regard the Emperor as a prophet, and then later a god. How could I possibly have gotten that confused with the Imperium of Man in 40k.
Have no idea what they mean by platonic romance, if its handholding or just close friendship in the form of "you're my best buddy". For the betrayal, Owlcat said they would give her more context and bullshit like that.

It'll be some soulmate bullshit or something with no physicality involved, gotta pander hard in these dark days
>gotta pander hard in these dark days
I doubt that's the reason at all, Owlcat has no problem having sex in their games and you will 100% bang cassia just like you banged in their previous games.
It's most likely that there is no real canon precedent in 40k for eldar female getting rawdogged by human male, its not even clear if they have the same organs as humans do, so they want to avoid trouble with the canon material.
Oh, that's cool to know. I still understand why they might keep it platonic only but knowing raping defeated eldar women can be canon is definetly a good thing in my book.
She tells you she needs you to go with her to find some deldar and rescue her farseers, you all get hit by knockout gas and dragged back to whatever their capital is called and she throws a tantrum saying it wasn't what they agreed on while the deldar laugh at her.
Later it comes out that she tracked down one of your people who was planning on betraying you to the deldar, she killed him for it but then decided to sell you out too once they convinced her. It's extra stupid because she warns you against trusting them

>A dark and slightly crazed laugh burst from the Interrogator's lips. He breaks off after a moment, and proceeds to speak in a measured, icy voice: "Allow me to state the most likely version of events. The xenos Yrliet embarked on a plot with the xenos Marazhai. Achilleas discovered said plot and paid for it with his life. And afterward, they fed you this poorly concocted tale to exonerate the enemies of Humanity of wrongdoing."

I do love how hard this contradicts the pro-trans narrative, seemingly by accident.
The character: >I was born male, but since I was dressed and treated like a girl for my entire life, I became a girl psychologically
The narrative: >Trans people were born trans, gender identity isn't something you can be taught or groomed into
It's just really, really funny because this is obviously meant to be trans rep, but it actively implies that transgenderism is a result of being raised a certain way and is not something you are born with.

Fascism: mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of both the nation and the single, powerful leader over the individual citizen
How is that not 40k to a T? Emperor commands all, its all supremacy of the emperium.
Because Empy is fucking "dead", he doesn't command anything. All the power has been with the senate, or I suppose Girlyman now. Crusade era Imperium was the Roman Empire, then it went back to Roman Republic (Oligarchic rather than Representative) after Empy got styled on, now it's back to Empire under Girlyman.
The Imperium cannot categorically be called fascist because they're not actually nationalist. There's too much territory for that to work, so most of the worlds in it are governed under a feudal system. Worlds are free to conduct their business and govern themselves in whatever way they see fit, so long as they pay their tithe and adhere to the Imperial Creed and its dictats. It's really unlike anything we could compare it to on Earth.

Yeah? It's a dystopia, it doesn't have to be fascist to be dystopic. Nationalism isn't about loyalty to a political body, that's actually a trait of feudalism, nationalism is loyalty to a race and/or geographic area. Since there's all the typical human races all living together on top of fantasy ones like Squats, Ratlings and Ogryns, and there's so much territory that entire planets get lost just from misfiled paperwork, it can't be called nationalist. >But they hate xenos
Not just because they're xenos, but because everyone is trying to kill everyone else, unlikely team-ups happen all the time, despite the memes.
The key difference is that a fascist government is a cohesive political entity governing over a society. It controls all aspects of that society unconditionally, militarily, economically, judicially, ultimate power resides with a single individual sitting at the top.
This isn't true of the imperium in many respects, worlds govern themselves and observe the tithe and creed, how they govern themselves beyond that is often out the imperium's direct control, the imperial governing apparatus itself is split into a bunch of different organisations that often conflict with each other and answer to no one but the dead guy on the chair. Many of these organisations have high lords sitting on the imperial senate, so rather than a dictatorship, it's an oligarchy. Again though, girlyman is in command so it's closer to a dictatorship now, but the various organisations still resist his command out of their own interests, or because they have leave to like the mechanicus.

So i heard this was "less complicated" than pathfinder, does that mean i wont have to buff my team before every single encounter just to be able to hit them? I wish pathfinder had better balance but its either too easy or impossible.
There are no buffs before battle iirc. Combat is self-contained.
It's more complicated in terms of what actually happens but maybe less-so in terms of builds...maybe. Pathfinder is not that complicated however (standard AC and to-hit maxing along with CC spam.)
I guess to elaborate: Since this is a new system for (You) and me it will be more complicated I imagine. I played the beta and settled into one way of doing things there but the character creator was very bare-bones at the time.
>There are no buffs before battle iirc. Combat is self-contained.
Unless they fixed it, Idira's psyker buffs could be applied before battles, but I assume that was a bug.
There is a bunch of shit in pathfinder thats just annoying to keep track of like all the different buff tags that don't stack and understanding DR / resists of every mob was just annoying.
I could pick up BG3 and play it no problem while pathfinder i either instantly won anything or spent the entire time swinging away while nothing happened, there was no happy middle ground of difficulty.
I actually really don't like the 40k universe and wished Owlcat would just do more Pathfinder APs, but it's all over now so I hope this game and Owlcat fail.
Ive only played darktide and looked a few things up but i kinda like the 40k universe. The quotes on the loading screen are neat, i like the idea of an absolute brutal society that demands everything from its people and strives because of it.
You don't see that in many other works of fiction
No you don't lmao. The shit is so over the top, you do not see the extreme fascist stuff i read on those loading screens in anything. I read a ton of fantasy, that shit is so uncommon, and when its done its usually to a smaller degree and they aren't the main faction of the story. >Despise the weak, for they shall flock to the call of the renegade >The difference between heresy and treachery is ignorance
Show how this type of shit is in "all works of fiction"
Fascism: mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of both the nation and the single, powerful leader over the individual citizen
How is that not 40k to a T? Emperor commands all, its all supremacy of the emperium.

Because the government structure of any place in the imperium can range from small tribal societies, to democratic republics, to feudal monarchies. So the social economic situation of pre-ww2 doesn't really apply/fit.

If you just read the surface-level stuff, it sounds nice. But ultimately, this and other examples in 40k show that it's just making fun of and parodying people who take that stuff seriously. It's just more disingenuous israeli egalitarian nihilism - we're all equally foolish and dumb, hur durrrr.
No shit its a parody. I said it was over the top. Theres no way that society could actually function, especially without a super emperor that they need to sacrifice space wizards to daily to keep alive.

Is the game in real time or turn based? I really hope it's in real time because as a classic western rpg fan (Dragon Age, Mass Effect) I really hate turn based slop.
No. >Choose Psyker class
Your backstory is that you were taken by the black ships to Terra, strapped to a torture device, and had your soul sucked dry until you died so a bunch of three eyed nerds can yeet ships across space and come out relatively soon instead of centuries after they left, or in some cases, before they left.
What's with this 'where are the screenshots' shitpost trend?
Does discussion seem more 'organic' in your eyes if I randomly throw up a screen of the game?
It's an isometric turn based RPG, what do you expect to see? Snippets of dialogue and the occasional stat screen all the time? Did people randomly throw tons of screens in X-Com threads?
It's fairly easy to miss just on the diplomacy check, since most players who know what they're doing just build one of the companions as a skill monkey, which you can't use to pass that particular check. It's not exactly on the same level as the ascension ending, though.
Lore is really inconsistent about whether proximity and number is needed or if Ork WAAAGH magic can affect small things in general regardless of distance. Yarrick for example didn't need Orks around him constantly for his git crumpin' klaw to keep working.
Has anyone played beta? I didn't want to touch it, but there's nothing new to play, after the bg3 disappointment. Is the game OK for a pirated playthrough?
No, the beta is in pretty rough state and was abandoned after 4 patches. You can technically make it to the end of the content but act 3 will constantly break and is unfinished as fuck. The alpha was overall in a much better state.
Why did he suddenly turn on Owlcat? It feels like just yesterday he was calling out "snoygels" and shilling Nenio(who I agree is a good companion) and now suddenly he has this vendetta against owlcat.
he wanted warhammer fantasy instead of 40k
while i agree, like come on you get the warhammer licence and you use it for 40k instead of fantasy? but at the same time it's not enough for me to completely write off the game and hate the company like he does
It's funny to see him go to the /vg/ hugbox gloating if a thread dies early but when they don't he stays silent

Every time you use a psyker ability the veil tears and random bad shit has a chance to happen, the more you use it the higher and worse the warp fuckery.
You can realistically have one full time psyker aside from Fish in your party so if you make your MC a caster then build your party around that.
there is no such thing as perils psyker. you fuck up - you're dead. Just look at idira. she fucked up and got a bullet to the head. And that was an easy way out too
Oh, that's fucking gay, then. They have an opportunity to throw the entire game off its rails and have it be about causing a warp storm and they don't take it.
don't get me wrong - minor peril of the warp do happen to even sanctioned psykers, it's just that you actually do NOT want them to spiral into something bigger, and some particularly zealous individuals might kill you for causing even a minor disturbance

I'm sick of body type shit as well but just having characters have sexual preferences puts them in the upper tier already.
what is this shitty paintjob? Is there something behind this shitpost? Did they remove the "male" and "female" from character creation?
can someone answer this please?
>Did they remove the "male" and "female" from character creation
Yes
What does that symbol even mean?
Ask owlkeks, they won't answer though, since they close all the threads with these questions and ban those asking.
Nothing my dude. Just like all the Space Marine symbols are made up shit.
And shills tell me that owlnaggers were forced to add trannies in Pathfinder games by Paizo.
Why do people get so mad about "body type"?
I think we should use that on our bathrooms instead, because no matter what gender the troonfreaks think they are, their body type will always he 1 (male).
They can't argue that "i am a lady so i can use the ladies room" because "sorry sir, this is a body type 2 bathroom, you are clearly body type 1"
some cute guys have a femine body and some women (especially american one) have a body of a literal Shrek 2.

>can get tankier HP than the main companion tank due to it scaling off her mage stat than notConstitution
>this is all but in minutes of recruiting her
She literally just carries my whole team.
Is this waifu power/pandering?
She's a navigator, and a particularly powerful one at that. If anything, they'd downplaying how powerful she's supposed to be. She should be able to solo armies of Chaos Space Marines just by lifting up her tiara. But then, you'd have the issue of her potentially one-shotting her allies.
>She should be able to solo armies of Chaos Space Marines
what?
Navigators have a third "warp eye" that allows them to navigate the Warp on their foreheads. Canonically, anyone who looks into a fully opened warp eye, or "The Lidless Stare," dies instantly as their soul is sucked into the immaterium. So, if an army of Chaos Space Marines were looking at Cassia, and she just lifted her tiara while her warp eye was giving the Lidless Stare, they'd all get their souls sucked out of their bodies. Thus, Cassia could potentially solo a traitor legion if she caught them with their pants down.
Even the emperor? Even the primarchs? How has warfare NOT devolved into Navigators being mass bred and put on hoverbikes to drive-by-stare entire armies then?
Well, partially because navigators are rare, valuable and unstable mutants that are critical to warp travel, but also because the Lidless Stare doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. If you're going to drive a navigator around giving everything the Lidless Stare, you might as well just drop a nuke on the area.
How's a lidless stare real? Just don't look, bro. Just close your eyes, dawg
Plus I'm pretty sure it takes energy out of them as well
>You might as well just drop a nuke on the area
Well the Imperium already does that
She loses steam by act 3, honestly.
The real professional motherfuckers are Argenta>Heinrix>Pasqual
How to make Argenta, Heinrix and Pascal good?
Especailly Pascal and Heinrix.
is Argenta basically just "spam weapon with highest burst auto fire"?
How to keep her alive, she seems ultra glass cannon and needs to be close for burst to work, no?
>Buff argenta while debuffing enemies
>Kill fodder to fill heroic bar
>She can do it all over again probably clearing half the map
>Buff heinrix and let him do his own biomancer buff
>Get close and kick chaos marine in the balls
>Dodge/resist almost everything
>Let pasqual wield force/power weapons easily, ranged and melee cause tech-priest baby
>Let him tank easily hits cause tech-priest baby
>He also has unique buffs/debuffs, cause techpriest baby
It's worth having more than one leader/officer so you can prep more than one character
Thans, how are the bugs up to Act 3?
It's annoying as fuck having Charge fumble like 50% of the time thus breaking my action economy
Nothing reloads did not fix for me, but it has been a while.
And the game releases in like 24 days
my party's gonna be heinrix, argenta, pasqual, abelard and i'm undecided on the fifth. not the navigator tho. will probably take the other psyker
Argenta isn't that good in Beta. What makes the Hunter class strong goes in direct opposition to what makes marksman good.
Or in other words, there's not enough AP to set up a hunter oneshot and use run and gun.
Adepts also outdamage argenta easily as soon as they gain access to high RoF weapons. She can't compete and no anon has ever posted proof of her doing so.
So me Argenta doing 300-400+ damage. They won't. She's shit. Her only purpose is feeding you momentum with her priest skill.
What characters do 300-400 damage tbh
Here's your spoonfeed.
I actually reported how broken this was, so hopefully they fixed it. If they haven't, here's your retard-proof win button.
They reworked it in the release version, clue does more damage now but charges are all used up on the first hit so single shot big damage weapons like snipers and meltas are actually better for it now.
None of that used clue, that was all the Hunter class features. There's a reason why I paused on each skill.
Did they fix Fighter assassin too?
Hell if I know, I only know the clue thing got reworked because they mentioned it offhand in the livestream last week.
>single shot big damage weapons like snipers and meltas
Sounds like Flamer would be better, maximize the AOE. unless it only effects one enemy that way?
she's a navigator. she should one-shot niggas just by making them look at her third eye, so if anything she's underpowered for balance purposes
Is there any way for Rogue Trader to match her power wise?
Maybe going full chaos, Owlcat has a habit of making their MC absurdly overpowered in setting
Navigators are the superior form of humanity.

Is it true the main character is limited in how you can build him and kind of useless?
Facts:
>Less build options than something like Pathfinder games, with things like archetype leading to only 3 advanced archetypes
>There are origins you cannot pick for your MC that companions have
Also facts
>Homeworlds, origin and archetype mix lead to many varied builds, and each choice is very impactful determining what is available on levelup
>You can make an extremely strong character, be it melee, ranged, tank or support
>You can make an extremely strong character, be it melee, ranged, tank or support
What are the best tips to start out, I keep getting gunned by laser burst weapon from the other side of the screen even with cover
Easy advice for early on if you worry is to make a high strength character build so you can wear heavy armor and have good deflection. Good for early game mitigation (probably not as good when necrons start sniping). There are abilities that specifically boost deflection and tougness overall.
Also, raise medicae to get more out of medkits
What's the point of playing the game before it releases? Are you going to replay it after they finish it?
yes
Good for you, but personally I can't imagine slogging through shit like siege of Drezen more than once. AND you already know what will happen.
I personally really liked the siege.
Doing it with a different party composition with minimal resting was nice. Encounter design kinda peaks there too.
My best still required 1 rest though
seige of drezen is a great dungeon. my favorite part of the game
For me its the lost chapel (BEFORE you beat nulkineth, the exploration of the other half is a pure slog). It just has such a desperate, spooky atmosphere, and when your theme kicks in indicating its time to save it day it is great.
chapter two in its entirety is great tbh. it's where the game peaks
I like Ivory Labyrinth and Wintersun a lot, especially if you try to clear them with minimal resting.
Allushynira is a pain to navigate, but it was the last time I enjoyed the encounters that could pop out of everywhere and are surpringly varied
Yes.
I haven't played the beta but I know I will play it multiple times if it's done properly
Yeah, also I like to see the process of game development changes. What is tweaked, what is added, what is overall changed and removed. I think that's fun.

Does she juice chaos buildup more than anyone else due to her unsanctioned status or would a player psyker also have to suffer through this bullshit?

yes
But what do I choose, melee or ranged
his ranged weapon seems like shit
He's supposed to carry heavy weapons while still being able to parry in melee. Honestly if you can go Arch militant via Adept, it wouldn't be a bad option for him.
But you'll probably want to go strategist or tactician depending on the given abilities. Clues should be more than enough to maximize his damage output but Hunter does enable a guaranteed instant kill against any enemy in the game unless they finally nerfed it.

At the very least we can go Chaos Undivided, and there's signs you can lean towards Tzeentch

Why is it never Slaanesh
im super fucking happy its not nurgle AGAIN
I dont know shit about warhammer but looking it up "god of pleasure and hedonism." I feel like too many people would side with the bad guys and succumb to the slaanussy
the issue with Slaanesh is that like any addiction, the amount of degeneracy you need to be satisfied endlessly increases. An initiate might be sated with just plain sex drugs and rock and roll but soon they will only be able to feel anything if they're jerking off with baby scalps while doing it.
Yeah i get that, but a videogame company isnt going to put "jerking off with baby scalps" into their game, and its a videogame so people's decisions don't actually affect then personally, so they will make the coomer choice
Slaanesh can be summed up as "Try anything once."
How do you feel about the companions so far?
I like all of them except Jae who seems the like Isabela from DA2 but worse. Maybe I will be suddendly surprised by masterstroke storytelling 3 acts in but I think her character is as lame as it seems.
Don't know what to make of edgy elf, but he will be interesting at the very least for whatever playtrough I can justify not killing him in.
> Like Isabela from DA2 but worse
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.
That's pretty much exactly what she is.
Personally, I'm also not a huge fan of the unsanctioned psyker or the two eldar - but that might be my biases of [Not wanting to be chain raped by Daemons] and [Not wanting to be fucked over by twiggy homosexuals] acting up.

You already saw it in Act 3
You'll be able to recruit him in the full game though, instead of killing and forgetting he exists
I bet you have to choose between him and Ulfar
Why would you?
Women don't get to romance the furmarine, so they'll go for the abusive sm space elf option instead
Ulfar is a psycho murderer who can barely keep his cool in the presence of any xenos.
As opposed to the dark eldar torture enthusiast?
I'm just saying, they don't seem like compatible companions to have in the same room. It'd make more sense if it was a companion chose done in the Dark Eldar territory. Ulfar for direct tank hits, Dark Eldar for dodge tank sleek fighting.
I think when anon asked "why would you" he was talking about why would you ever choose the deldar ofer Ulfar

Because the Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40k is based pretty directly on the Imperium in Dune. In Dune, the Imperium is feudal monarchy comprised of noble houses who compete with each other for control over planets and are all at least nominally loyal to the Padishah Emperor, with their power checked somewhat by CHOAM and the Spacing Guild having a complete monopoly on interplanetary commerce and space travel respectively.
The Imperium of 40k is also run largely by a group of noble houses, though their power is somewhat dwarfed by the Golden Throne and the Ecclesiarchy (the Imperium of Man being based more on the God-Emperor of Dune than anything else), and they take the idea of "space nobility" humorously literally, by having them prefer to dress up as 18th and 19th century European nobles.
the only dune media I ever consume was that porn one
you know which one
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you for sauce
there is only one dune porn game and I think it was pretty great
1st book is required reading for 40k/general sci-fi fans.
If you want to keep going after that, stop at 4.
I've never read Dune, I keep putting it off because I want to pick up some good hard cover versions. Does the fourth book conclude in a way that doesn't lead into further books?
dune never end because frank die before he finish it
unless you are fine with fanfic that milked it afterward
its basically the same question as would you read berserk now?
To be fair, the prequels that are about how the Imperium in Dune got founded were decent and had some interesting concepts. The sequels to Herbert's books were bad.
just read the first book. the ending is fine
It leads into further books but it didn't need to. You can basically treat it like a conclusion.
You basically have 5 options.
You can just read the first book. It's a classic sci-fi story that's basically required reading for sci-fi fans.
You can read the first two books. They tell the complete story of Paul. The story from this point forward becomes less about space fights and action scenes and more about political maneuvering and philosophical musing. Also, you probably don't want to read the second book if you want to see Paul as a genuine messiah figure.
You can read the first four books. The first two books and the next two books tell more or less complete stories. Expect for shit to start getting really weird, especially once you hit God Emperor of Dune.
You can read all six of Frank Herbert's Dune novels. You should be warned that the final two books were intended to be a trilogy to wrap up the Dune saga, but the final book was never written. This is only recommended if you just cannot get enough of Dune and are willing read a story you know is going to end on a cliffhanger that will never be followed up on.
You can read ALL the Dune novels including the Brian Herbert series. This is a good option if you just like the word "Dune." Herbert's son Brian has been shitting out a small library of "Dune" novels with some hack named Kevin Anderson. They are all ostensibly based on his father's notes, if that helps, though as time goes on this claim gets more and more dubious unless Frank Herbert kept notes on pointless minute details like the lives of Chani and Irulan before the start of the first book. In addition, these books can kind of contradict the Frank Herbert Dune novels. For instance, the Butlerian Jihad is portrayed as essentially a war against robot Nazis in the Brian Herbert novels, when in the original Dune books the Butlerian Jihad seemed to be more a religious-philosophical movement against humanity's over-dependence on AI.
Thanks for the guide, Anon. Think I'll just stick to the first and maybe read the second if it's interesting enough.
Honestly, i really love the ending of the second book, so i think you should try it.
5 and 6 are part of their own trilogy.
It was never finished.
Also, a guy in 5 becomes flash at the end
its not at all. you dont understand dune OR 40k which is pretty sad.
You're right. Dune, after all, is about a galaxy-spanning empire that has banned all AI, uses mutant "Navigators" for interplanetary travel and, as the books go on, comes to be dominated by a religious fanatics who regard the Emperor as a prophet, and then later a god. How could I possibly have gotten that confused with the Imperium of Man in 40k.

Qrd on the eldar "platonic romance" + betrayal ?
Have no idea what they mean by platonic romance, if its handholding or just close friendship in the form of "you're my best buddy". For the betrayal, Owlcat said they would give her more context and bullshit like that.
It'll be some soulmate bullshit or something with no physicality involved, gotta pander hard in these dark days
>gotta pander hard in these dark days
I doubt that's the reason at all, Owlcat has no problem having sex in their games and you will 100% bang cassia just like you banged in their previous games.
It's most likely that there is no real canon precedent in 40k for eldar female getting rawdogged by human male, its not even clear if they have the same organs as humans do, so they want to avoid trouble with the canon material.
Seems odd they'd even make her an RO in the first place
>its not even clear if they have the same organs as humans do
They do, in Nightbringer deldar female fucks some human prisoner to death
Oh, that's cool to know. I still understand why they might keep it platonic only but knowing raping defeated eldar women can be canon is definetly a good thing in my book.
Deldar are distinctivly different from normal Aeldari. Did you miss that memo.
They are the fucking same species
Philospohically they are extremely different. Much like Githyanki and Githzerai.
philosophically naggers aren't human, and yet...
>Player character does not kill the vile xenos as the Emperor had instructed them
>They get what they fucking deserve
She tells you she needs you to go with her to find some deldar and rescue her farseers, you all get hit by knockout gas and dragged back to whatever their capital is called and she throws a tantrum saying it wasn't what they agreed on while the deldar laugh at her.
Later it comes out that she tracked down one of your people who was planning on betraying you to the deldar, she killed him for it but then decided to sell you out too once they convinced her. It's extra stupid because she warns you against trusting them
Wait a minute. The space elf pussy is retarded and/or has severe levels of brain damage? This is unexpected...

>A dark and slightly crazed laugh burst from the Interrogator's lips. He breaks off after a moment, and proceeds to speak in a measured, icy voice: "Allow me to state the most likely version of events. The xenos Yrliet embarked on a plot with the xenos Marazhai. Achilleas discovered said plot and paid for it with his life. And afterward, they fed you this poorly concocted tale to exonerate the enemies of Humanity of wrongdoing."
>and now the murder of an agent of the Golden Throne
whom does she kill now?
He's talking about Achilleas.
so, why the fuck would you invite the deldar that conspired against you to your group? at least with the elf you can say she was misled

There is a reply that you can use that will make him happy the "I need every fighter I can get" and he'll respond something like "sounds like she isn't enjoying her kin's hospitality" while smirking.

Why are you lying? He literally tells you he trooned out.
Your options are now to:
1. desperately move goalposts
2. leave the thread without saying anything
3. eat humble pie and apologize for spreading retarded lies
this is what trannies tug their limp dicks to. absolutely shameful
That's disgusting.
Doesn't the reveal require you to do multiple sidequest steps ( returning sword to irabeth) plus passing one of the higehst persuasion checks in the game?
Not sure this counts as 'just telling', but whatever
It does require that but the anon was lying saying its never spelled out.
It is hidden, but if you do the right things "she" just tells you
So there is clear confirmation, but the troon does not 'just tell you' if you ask normally
>1. desperately move goalposts

The funniest part is that True Aeon undoes it and he dies alone as a man
Desnans are fucking gross, nothing new
Anevia trooned out because he wanted to, dressing as a woman was just for hiding from the S$M cultists, also
>posts the trans rights mythic path
Show me the part where you turn her back into a man just like with Galfrey and not the cope ending which is just a side effect
The epilogue where Anevia dies in a ditch as a man having never been raised by Desnans.
>Coping with a side effect
I do love how hard this contradicts the pro-trans narrative, seemingly by accident.
The character:
>I was born male, but since I was dressed and treated like a girl for my entire life, I became a girl psychologically
The narrative:
>Trans people were born trans, gender identity isn't something you can be taught or groomed into
It's just really, really funny because this is obviously meant to be trans rep, but it actively implies that transgenderism is a result of being raised a certain way and is not something you are born with.
wouldn't be the first time troons get tangled in their own mental gymnastics
it is NEVER "i had to hide as a girl as a child, but when i struck out on my own, i became the dashing chad you see now". it is ALWAYS "i wash raised as a girl, and wouldnt you know it? despite the wildly statistical unlikelihood, i just HAPPENED to also be trans on the inside. so it all worked out!"
groomers should be dragged out into the street and shot.
oh look, its another "i was groomed to deny reality, and thats a totally ok way to live" episode.

Can I romance the Sister of Battle in this game?
No
Shit woke game, WHY!?
She's... A Sororitas, Anon. They don't do romance any more than the Space Marines do. A Sororitas is taken at an absurdly young age and rigorously trained by the Ecclesiarchy to be first and foremost a soldier of the faith, they are so zealous that they only get wet for the Emperor, so zealous that they sometimes get superpowers from raw belief.
Because Empy is fucking "dead", he doesn't command anything. All the power has been with the senate, or I suppose Girlyman now. Crusade era Imperium was the Roman Empire, then it went back to Roman Republic (Oligarchic rather than Representative) after Empy got styled on, now it's back to Empire under Girlyman.
The Imperium cannot categorically be called fascist because they're not actually nationalist. There's too much territory for that to work, so most of the worlds in it are governed under a feudal system. Worlds are free to conduct their business and govern themselves in whatever way they see fit, so long as they pay their tithe and adhere to the Imperial Creed and its dictats. It's really unlike anything we could compare it to on Earth.
>categorically be called fascist because they're not actually nationalist.
Thats nitpicky. If its "for the emperium" thats nationalist to me. Sure the emperor is "dead" but people are all still doing things under his name as if he is the 1 in power, it makes no difference who is making the decisions when the end result is the same.
Why is everyone throwing a hissyfit because i used the f-word? You are arguing semantics over what constitutes a nation, or authoritarian.
So how is that any different from Bolshevik Russia?
I don't know and i don't care. Its all meaningless labels. I used a dreaded f-word and the 40k nerds screeched that its ackshully a republic.
But what are the emperors tax policies?
So are we actually trying to define a British parody government to sell minatures or can I just shout
naggernaggernaggerPAJEETPOOPOOPEEisraeliteCHINKasiatic
I was never trying to define anything. I said i liked the world and the fascist quotes on the darktide loading screen.
Okay so what exactly would make 40k fascist if it isn't? You are the homosexual that brought up nazis.
All i saw was people always bringing up the emperor, them doing everything in his name, and it being a brutal world where individual lives don't matter and its all for the imperium.
One anon thinks its because the imperium isnt a nation makes it not fascist.
Another anon brings up examples of parts of the universe that are different types of government (like that invalidates that the parts im talking about aren't).
So please tell me what would the key difference.
>I was never trying to define anything. I said i liked the world and the fascist quotes on the darktide loading screen.
Oh right this comment chain was started by a tertiary...
>people always bringing up the emperor
He's functionally a god at this point, shouting his name is basically the same as shouting Deus Vult.
>them doing everything in his name
Same thing, it's theocratic.
>and it being a brutal world where individual lives don't matter and its all for the imperium.
Yeah? It's a dystopia, it doesn't have to be fascist to be dystopic. Nationalism isn't about loyalty to a political body, that's actually a trait of feudalism, nationalism is loyalty to a race and/or geographic area. Since there's all the typical human races all living together on top of fantasy ones like Squats, Ratlings and Ogryns, and there's so much territory that entire planets get lost just from misfiled paperwork, it can't be called nationalist.
>But they hate xenos
Not just because they're xenos, but because everyone is trying to kill everyone else, unlikely team-ups happen all the time, despite the memes.
The key difference is that a fascist government is a cohesive political entity governing over a society. It controls all aspects of that society unconditionally, militarily, economically, judicially, ultimate power resides with a single individual sitting at the top.
This isn't true of the imperium in many respects, worlds govern themselves and observe the tithe and creed, how they govern themselves beyond that is often out the imperium's direct control, the imperial governing apparatus itself is split into a bunch of different organisations that often conflict with each other and answer to no one but the dead guy on the chair. Many of these organisations have high lords sitting on the imperial senate, so rather than a dictatorship, it's an oligarchy. Again though, girlyman is in command so it's closer to a dictatorship now, but the various organisations still resist his command out of their own interests, or because they have leave to like the mechanicus.
It's tens of millennia into the future, it shouldn't resemble anything in contemporary times
>But what are the emperors tax policies?
The Imperial Tithe, may be paid in materials, troops or a combination. You may be exempt from the tithe if you contribute to the imperium in a more direct way.
Because it reinforces the erroneous idea that there's anything fascist about 40k when it literally does not apply, which attracts mouth breathing retards from america insistent on fighting their internet civil war anywhere they can. I'm sick of tards comparing the imperium to nazi germany as if they're the same fucking thing, and I'm sick of other tards drooling over it as if it is.
>Semantics
Semantics are fucking important Anon, too many people operating on different and often outright wrong assumptions on what words mean and what things are only leads to a shitshow where nothing means anything.
Besides, The Orthodox National Bolsheviks in Empire Earth 1's Russia Campaign were 1000x cooler than anything in Warhammer 40k.

So i heard this was "less complicated" than pathfinder, does that mean i wont have to buff my team before every single encounter just to be able to hit them? I wish pathfinder had better balance but its either too easy or impossible.
There are no buffs before battle iirc. Combat is self-contained.
It's more complicated in terms of what actually happens but maybe less-so in terms of builds...maybe. Pathfinder is not that complicated however (standard AC and to-hit maxing along with CC spam.)
I guess to elaborate: Since this is a new system for (You) and me it will be more complicated I imagine. I played the beta and settled into one way of doing things there but the character creator was very bare-bones at the time.
>There are no buffs before battle iirc. Combat is self-contained.
Unless they fixed it, Idira's psyker buffs could be applied before battles, but I assume that was a bug.
There is a bunch of shit in pathfinder thats just annoying to keep track of like all the different buff tags that don't stack and understanding DR / resists of every mob was just annoying.
I could pick up BG3 and play it no problem while pathfinder i either instantly won anything or spent the entire time swinging away while nothing happened, there was no happy middle ground of difficulty.
In that sense, Rogue Trader is more intuitive yes.
Can I become a Demon Prince?
The Emperor is not a God.
I actually really don't like the 40k universe and wished Owlcat would just do more Pathfinder APs, but it's all over now so I hope this game and Owlcat fail.
Ive only played darktide and looked a few things up but i kinda like the 40k universe. The quotes on the loading screen are neat, i like the idea of an absolute brutal society that demands everything from its people and strives because of it.
You don't see that in many other works of fiction
You see that in all works of fiction as well as in real life. Egalitarian nihilism is so israeli and banal.
No you don't lmao. The shit is so over the top, you do not see the extreme fascist stuff i read on those loading screens in anything. I read a ton of fantasy, that shit is so uncommon, and when its done its usually to a smaller degree and they aren't the main faction of the story.
>Despise the weak, for they shall flock to the call of the renegade
>The difference between heresy and treachery is ignorance
Show how this type of shit is in "all works of fiction"
It's not fascist by the way, it's dystopian. The Imperium is a Theocratic Republic.
Fascism: mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of both the nation and the single, powerful leader over the individual citizen
How is that not 40k to a T? Emperor commands all, its all supremacy of the emperium.
Because the government structure of any place in the imperium can range from small tribal societies, to democratic republics, to feudal monarchies. So the social economic situation of pre-ww2 doesn't really apply/fit.
You didn't convince me
Could you define a fascist state for me?
I literally fucking did you stupid fucking retard.
No shit its a parody. I said it was over the top. Theres no way that society could actually function, especially without a super emperor that they need to sacrifice space wizards to daily to keep alive.
Just define a fascist state for me anon, no need to sperg out.
Thank you for conceding that it's all the same israeli egalitarian nihilism then, just with one step added, whoopdydoo.
P.S. None of those 40k quotes in themselves are extremist or over the top.
Kek. "All the same" is 2 examples? 40k and starship troopers is all you have to constitute "all works of fiction"
>Theres no way that society could actually function
Google has admitted their engineers could not replicate their search engine if they needed to. NASA has lost the ability to build Saturn rockets. Zoomers can't even use the file system in their computer. We already live a a crumbling society that peaked and are starting to lose the ability to maintain it. Soon climate cultists will be aborting babies at alters to the Sun God to lower the earth's temperature.
>he thinks we actually went to the moon
oh no no no no
You believe this conspiracy theory because you don't think it's possible to go to the moon, I believe this conspiracy theory because I believe they'll admit that to prevent panic about the loss of technology. We are not the same.
and by that I mean in such a way that differentiates it from any other authoritarian or totalitarian ideology.
the emperor doesn't directly address anybody, there are 12 high lords of tera
>In a 2014 interview with The Adam Carolla Show, Michael Ironside (Scanners), who played a militant officer in Starship Troopers, said that he asked Verhoeven why he was making a "right-wing fascist movie?" To that, Verhoeven told him, "If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me. So I'm going to make a perfect fascist world: everyone is beautiful, everything is shiny, everything has big guns and fancy ships, but it's only good for killing fucking bugs!"

If you just read the surface-level stuff, it sounds nice. But ultimately, this and other examples in 40k show that it's just making fun of and parodying people who take that stuff seriously. It's just more disingenuous israeli egalitarian nihilism - we're all equally foolish and dumb, hur durrrr.

Does discussion seem more 'organic' in your eyes if I randomly throw up a screen of the game?
It's an isometric turn based RPG, what do you expect to see? Snippets of dialogue and the occasional stat screen all the time? Did people randomly throw tons of screens in X-Com threads?

They're saying that the diaglogue is hidden and most people won't get it.
Dialogue isn't "hidden" by requiring you to do a quest. People do quests in RPGs. By this logic most dialogue in the game is hidden.
Not *a* quest. A series of quests and dialogue checks that start with you looting an old sword in a back closet.
It's fairly easy to miss just on the diplomacy check, since most players who know what they're doing just build one of the companions as a skill monkey, which you can't use to pass that particular check. It's not exactly on the same level as the ascension ending, though.
That's not a quote train. I'm only linked in a few of those.

What is it about Owlcat games that causes Ganker to lose their minds? What is it about this studio that generates so many trolls and retards?
They require you to read, which already puts them outside of 90% of Gankerposters ability.
This makes them mad so they relentlessly shitpost.
This game has very little hype honestly
BG3 is no different, CRPG attract the worst kind of autism
I will still buy trannytrader
Hope you can be Slaanesh worshipper so I can sacrifice every elf to dildo goddess.
My ship shall be name the valiant "FUCK CHAOS".
What does rpgcodex community think about owlcat's games?
does it matter?
>what does rtwp forum think about rtwp games?
they gobble that shit right up
I've been under a rock. what is this, is there gameplay?
Sex with fish
oh froggy won't like this thread hitting 400 replies
Why did he suddenly turn on Owlcat? It feels like just yesterday he was calling out "snoygels" and shilling Nenio(who I agree is a good companion) and now suddenly he has this vendetta against owlcat.
He was never on owlcat's side to begin with since they didn't indulge him with furry fantasy.
he wanted warhammer fantasy instead of 40k
while i agree, like come on you get the warhammer licence and you use it for 40k instead of fantasy? but at the same time it's not enough for me to completely write off the game and hate the company like he does
It's funny to see him go to the /vg/ hugbox gloating if a thread dies early but when they don't he stays silent
>who I agree is a good companion
lol
lmao
Nenio a cute.
The worst character in the history of CRPGs with the worst dungeon in the history of CRPGs, props to owlcat for doing that
>Worst
>When Wyll and Lae'Zel just came out
Yeah, don't know about that famalam.
she is meant to be annoying, which i guess got on a lot of people's nerves
i find her funny, and annoying
an okay character, flawed
she doesn't contribute shit to the plot and her quest can go fuck itself with enigma
literally fucking who? parasocial rejects holy fuck
A retard that shat up the already shit Owlcat general who also came to Ganker to shit up Pathfinder threads and sometimes RT ones too
Owlcat threads always bring up such absolute cancer
>First they made romance options that are in a relationship with someone else or that constantly flirt with other people
>Now they outright make them have orgies with your own crew
Who cares when Cassia is right there? It's even funnier because Jae is the only lesbian option available by virtue of being bisexual and yuritrannies had a spergout on reddit.
Really? What they say?
well, you know, the usual. Some shaking and genocide was mentioned
But this image literally proves we get a prude tradfu with autism
And the other one is a whore. That's how they get you, next game everyone will be a whore that fucks around and you won't be able to stop them
>next game everyone will be a whore that fucks around
Even final boss???
Yes if you lose you get an unskippable scene of your romance option fucking the final boss
And LI will be forced to watch so cuckbrain anon will have his fap material
Nah I think you are just retarded
The premium edition ships with a big Cassia figurine, not a Jae one
And their previous game had an Arueshalae statue while the other two were whores (and she was formerly a whore)
What's your point
That clearly your point made here
is wrong as you have just admitted in this last post, probably without realizing because you are retarded?
We'll see once their fourth game comes out
How viable is to make the MC a caster? Should he just be a buff bot?
Every time you use a psyker ability the veil tears and random bad shit has a chance to happen, the more you use it the higher and worse the warp fuckery.
You can realistically have one full time psyker aside from Fish in your party so if you make your MC a caster then build your party around that.
>Not going full Perils
If Owlcat's any good, they'll make a Psyker run the wildest fucking ride possible
If you like quickloading sure, you can spawn a lvl 20 demon at lvl 6 that just wipes your party. i assume it will be worse at higher levels.
Oh, that's fucking gay, then. They have an opportunity to throw the entire game off its rails and have it be about causing a warp storm and they don't take it.
don't get me wrong - minor peril of the warp do happen to even sanctioned psykers, it's just that you actually do NOT want them to spiral into something bigger, and some particularly zealous individuals might kill you for causing even a minor disturbance
there is no such thing as perils psyker. you fuck up - you're dead. Just look at idira. she fucked up and got a bullet to the head. And that was an easy way out too
>Human
>male
>Fighter+Vanguard
>Imperialis benevolentia
>Vegabond
>death world
>romance Cass
it's Tradin' time!
He looks like he fucks noble fish girls far above his station.
I named the boat in PoE2 Deadfire The Godhammer II and I'll name this ship The Godhammer Mk.3.
Why, the Camellia of course.
>So, what are you going to name your ship?
Buck Breaker 40k
Almost done painting my rogue trader team up
How's the Cassia route? If its bad this isn't even worth pirating.
The game's not even out yet, how should we know
It looks like shit
Actually, the models are the same aa the models from the mobile game so, it's a mobile game
Im hoping for a mod that adds a blanchitsu filter to the game.
>There are STILL people who will not only keep Yrliet, but romance her as well
It's hard to imagine beings so pathetic.
waifuhomosexualry should be classified as mental illness
What can I say? I would be her docile pet.
Heinrix should shoot you on the spot if you pick that option.
Heinrix is pretty relaxed for an interrogator in general. But he's also marked by Chaos, so he's a hypocrite.
People wouldn't get so desperate if they let you romance the SoB then it would be an easy choice.
Not pursuing romance at all would be better than Yrliet
Even JAE would be a better pursuit.
You have to be genuinely retarded to go after Yrliet.
Could be worse, like a Galfreyfag
Who do you guys think the non companion romance will be? Maybe one of the rival rogue traders?
My ship will be named 'Eric'.
>All these homosexuals replying with reddit humor joke names because they're too insecure to come up with something they think is cool
You are confusing "don't care" with "insecurity". It's not insecurity when I name the MC something stupid like Bob or Steve.
I always name my ships after British warships
You want a thread full of edgy pseudo-latin names instead of something we can have a laugh at together? Why are you such a homosexual?
Nobody is laughing at any of the "funny" ones.
I am, but thanks for trying to speak for me, asshole
You should leave the speaking to me in future. It's better for the both of us.
Probably some retarded like Mr Boat. And if I ever get another one, Dr. Boat. And if there's yet another after that, Sir Boat
i always name my ships in games Mithra or Nausicaa.
Nostromo
My ship name will be Gawain's Hallowed Litany, because the MC read some old books at some point in the past and liked the name
>What's the name of your kingdom going to be???
>Why the stolen lands of course
>What's the name of your rogue trader ship going to be???
>Why the rogue trader of course
You CAN have sex with the sister of battle right?
If you tatooed "Sister of Battle" on your hand then yes
no, sisters are for the emprah
shit ass garbage game
I play lots of crpgs but I have zero interest in owlcat slop
The Invincible II
hahahahahahahaha the implications of that are just so funny anon!!!
Thanks :3
Why does this game have literally no mods (besides toybox) it wasn't like this with pathfinder
Its not out yet
>it wasn't like this with pathfinder
I think less people were playing the beta because its not a kickstarter game and because the setting isn't what owlcat used to do so its not attractive to many old customers
BlackSLAYER9001
im gay for the fish lady
Too bad, she only likes cock
