New trailer just droppedhttps://youtu.be/ql6ApN9Oo5MBeta also coming on June 1st
>>3067746Eh, we've actually haven't learned anything new that we haven't known already.Also, Ulfar. Holy shit.
>>3067746So is the beta free? Didn't say anything about needing to preorder or anything.
What are the chances it's released around christmas?
>>3067759Beta access is part of the pre-order package.
>>3067763Fuck owlcat
>>3067761Few months ago, I would say pretty high. But there's been radio silence for so long, I am starting to have my doubts.Let's see how improved beta is compared to alpha.
>>3067757Not enough woofs
Nice not sure if I wanna pirate the beta or wait for release though.
>>3067775Might be worth trying out if it's as polished as the alpha wasWrath's beta also had like 4 acts so that's a fair chunk of the game already if they plan to do the same here
>>3067778I just want to know if they'll finally implement the fucking character creation.Also, Dawn of War 1 has just dropped on GOG. Like, all of it.
>>3067759It's free
>>3067770If it isn't released during christmas bomb I'd say March is the safest bet
>>3067785The fact that they haven't shown more than there was already in the alpha - either in the game proper or in the game files - worries me a bit. Because we've known all those things from one source or the other since December. I was expecting some bigger jump in information.
>>3067788Whenever this happens I assume that if they are showing nothing is because there is nothing there so I just lower my expectations. As far as my expectation for Rogue Trader go I expect it to be a slightly worse than Wrath of the Righteous and slightly less pozzed in some areas but roughly the same dubious quality in writing
Do I have to support the war in ukraine by getting it from their website or can I preorder on steam as well?
>>3067845The company is based on cyprus financially now.Granted, I have not bought a game since 2008, so I do no deal with such moral conundrums much
>>3067845website only
>>3067763>only $40 preorderThat's honestly not bad. Wrath launched at $60, right?
>>3067785>>3067788Who cares when it's released? Just like with their previous games, it'll require six months of patching to even be playable, and then two years of additional content DLCs/Enhanced Editions/even more patching/mods that fix the game.
>>3067887Larian recently did a very subtle "fuck you" towards Owlcat, mentioning they won't be releasing any paid content DLCs, and the game will be complete on release.
>>3067889>no post launch support for bg3It's dead.
>>3067889I mean, I do not think they have released any dlc for sale, as far as I can remember. Just upgrading editions for free or releasing expansions.So just keeping the same policy
>>3067889Shame BG3 is so mid
THERE'S SHIP COMBAT?!?
>>3067894Yes,
>>3067894All Owlcat games must have a minigame gimmick to detract from the actual game. They consider it to be the main thing that sets their games apart from other CRPGs, but it's never not been shit.Kingmaker had the kingdom management, Wrath had the HoMM-lite battles, and Rogue Trader will have ship combat.
>>3067894Going for that golden 3/3 failed side mechanics I see
>>3067894This is the new crusade and Kingdom shit.
>>3067899Kingdom Management was fine.
>>3067891Anon, they sold so many copies a sequel has already been confirmed.
>>3067899>>3067916>>3067900>>3067907The PnP Rogue Trader also had a very detailed ship combat/management system, so in this case they're simply adapting what's already there.
>>3067916>Kingdom Management was fine
>>3067781Cc is in
>>3067845Yes. Cyprus is basically Russian outpost.Main investor of owlcat is a Russian rich dude.
>>3067746>no sister of battle romanceFuck off.
>>3067978It was.
>>3067889I don't mind dlc if it adds something substantial to the game, like a class, a companion, a dungeon etc. It's just a shame their dungeons are shit, and they keep adding the side story no one asked for Also on the discord they said every writer has worked on RT in some way except Thainen kek
>>3068074>a companionI'm actually surprised GW didn't use this opportunity to introduce a Votann companion, seeing as they're promoting their newest addition to the setting.
>>3068077>seeing as they're promoting their newest addition to the setting.The Votann didn't even get a single book to accompany their launch and only have half a roster at this pointThey don't care about them
>>3068077Apparently they started work on it before the votann came out, and I guess it was too late to add one somehowThey also confirmed the story is completely new so no tie ins to previous ttrpg adventures
>>3067879$20 if you supported the Kickstarter.
>>3067879Wrath was 50 on PC for release.40 for late preorders.28 for kickstarter cheapest option.24 for early bird (first 500)
>>3068080That's their go-to attitude for their new races.
looks uglier than wrath for some reason
Leak when
>>3068115A few hours after beta actually goes out on steam
>Void combat minigame is basically unchanged and looks like it will still be a 15 minute slog with no automatic resolve winDead on arrival, nobody wants to spend up to half an hour slowly moving their ship at right angles to miss shots at point blank range.
>>3068138I want to
>>3068139No, trust me, if you had experienced it in the Alpha you don't. The ship combat unironically makes the HOMM minigame in wrath look exciting and edge of your seat.
>>3068138Well fingers cross they keep the bug where you save and reload and the fight is autowon
>>3067889Source for this? I like playing crpgs when they are complete, and I don't want to play BG3 on release only to find out there was a free DLC that added a new questline, plus a redone last act like DOS2.So basically, is it actually gonna be 'complete' on release?
>>3067894Yes, and it is kino.
>>3068074>>3068077All their companions are fucking faggot shit you can't even romance the sister of battle. Fucking pozzed slav cucks.
>>3067899I liked crusade management
>>3068214The SoB is married to the God EmperorNo mere mortal could ever hope to compete
>>3067894Yes and I preordered not for the beta access, but for the unique ship built around broadsides because I love broadside maneuvers
>>3067746Not an RPG, go to >>>/vst/ or >>>/trash/
>>3068063>Yes. Cyprus is basically Russian outpost.And a Turkish one, and a British one, and a Greek one. Really, Cyprus is the clay of everyone but the actual Cypriots
>>3068250It would have been Greek if the Turks didn't chimp out and invade it
Imagine being the kind of incel that plays games during the spring and summerI’ll see ya’ll in 6 months
So the beta is going to consist of the prologue + chapters 1, 2 and 3.That's a chunky piece of content.
>>3068077This takes place wayvbefore the fall of Cadia, so no space dwarves yet.
>>3068342WOTR's beta went all the way up till you return to Drezen from the Abyss
>>3068390With a small update to slap the textures on Upper Allushynira's polygons
>>3068248It's a cRPG in every conceivable way you fucking moron
>>3067845You mean they aren't releasing this one on GOG (re: free to download on day one from matey sources)?
>>3067746>grid based turn-based combatWhen will this shitty meme stop.>>3067763>pre-order now to work as a playtester for free and find bugs>you also get to advertise your retarded ass in the official discord>>3067894>THERE'S SHIP COMBAT?!?You should be worried, considering how shitty all the extra modes are in the Pathfinder games. Last time we got crap like a dogshit version of HoMM combat.
>>3068407https://www.gog.com/en/game/warhammer_40000_rogue_trader
>>3068408>When will this shitty meme stop.It was a thing before you were born and will likely outlast you. Sorry
>>3068410It was a thing in crap games. Good games use hexes.
>>3067977>the 30yo adaptooomer>can't into game design, just adapts from tabletop>"develop a mechanic? No thanks I'll just adapt">have adapted 20 mini game mechanics into just 2 games>written 3 PhDs while working on Ai to produce code based on rulebooks so he can adapt faster>this was his only non-adapting activity in the last 6 years>"I wonder if this civil engineering manual can be adapted into an rpg?">I adaptiiiiiiiing!!!!
>>3068072No
>>3068349This doesn't matter, since the Leagues of Votann didn't magically appear in the 41st Millenium - they were retconned as having always been there.
>>3068326Based
>>3068166https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/wu4x94/no_dlc_for_bg3/Their A.M.A. on Reddit they did last year.>Are there any plans for DLC?>No, there are no plans for DLC.
>>3068403Actually its a space battle simulator with an adapted rpg minigame
>>3068432>Tencent called, there are plans for the DLC
>>3068442???
>>3068455Oh, you didn't know Larian is in Tencent's pocket?I can bet there will be a DLC, either Tencent or WotC will enforce it.
>>3068466Sven has 62%.Tencent has 30%.They decide jack shit.
>>3068403No, it's space AIDS X-Com. Go back.
>>3068466Rogue Trader is made by Owlcat...Why are you so butthurt over Larian than you are now shitting up Rogue Trader treads as well as the BG3 threads?You have been doing this every day this week.
>>3068471Why are you trying so hard with such retarded shitposting?
>Rogue Trader Stern, you stand here accused of>12 counts of murder in the first degree>14 counts of armed theft of Imperial property>22 counts of piracy in the fringe worlds>18 counts of harboring xenos>37 counts of technoheresy>And one docking violation>How do you plead?NOT GUILTY*blows up courtroom with stolen Necron tech*
>>3068497>pay a psyker to go ballistic during trial
>>3068234Sisters of Battle are DAUGHTERS of the Emperor NOT wives. Anyone defending Owlcat's FAGGOTRY is a secondary. There's no fucking reason for SoB to be nonromance except nuOwlcat being fucking woke and pozzed. Cuckshit and gay shit everywhere. Fucking disgusting. Fucking faggot viking Vaush DLC instead of new waifus for WotR. They STILL haven't fixed Arue's fucking cuckshed ending. Before any faggot says URRRR DURRR JUST GET HER ASCENSION ENDING DURRRR the fucking cuckshed IS IN HER ASCENSION ENDING FUCKING RETARDS!>no sob romance in rogue trader>fucking cuckshit ending they refuse to fox>fucking faggot viking vaush gay homo shitdick dlcFucking faggot slavs.
>>3067916>>3068139>>3068212>>3068215>Owlcat making crpgs for people who want to play something other than crpgs
>>3068508>Sisters of Battle are DAUGHTERS of the Emperor NOT wivesYep, they wifes of Goge Vandire.
I am sincerely hoping that the Space Woof communicates entirely in barks and howls.
>>3068521You still play crpg, just with strategic elements. But, if think of it, i can say that Owlcat making crpgs for me personally. As WoTR was perfection.
>>3068505I don't think you need to pay Idira to do it, just give her bottle of vastroyan amasex.
>>30685081. You don't play the games.2. You're a retarded schizo that clogs up every thread with his insane nonsense.3. Geg a tripcode.Also - why the fuck are you in these threads, day after day, if you don't like those games? You behave like an old scorned spinster. Just leave and pursue games you find fun.
Anyone here who played the Alpha yet? Thoughts on how the combat is if so?Not very familiar with Warhammer, does this follow their own rule-set or is this a custom rule-set?
>>3068508legit rent free good God almighty seek some help you really need it
>>3068546It (mostly) follows the FFG Rogue Trader RPG ruleset and as an adaptation it's... fine. Although alpha was more of a proof on concept thing, with a lot of combat mechanics being placeholders, so we'll get more insight into combat proper with beta.
>>3068486Trying hard with what? I'm intellectually outclassing you while doing reps. Go back to >>>/v/ .
>>3068552Thank you. It looks good on an art and concept level to me so it looks like I will be learning a new system.
>>3068544>why the fuck are you in these threads He is mentally unwell please understand.
>>3068560It's a fun system.One of those "holy shit, my leg got blown up, but the femur turned into a shrapnel grenade and TPK'd everyone in the room" kinds of systems.I don't think Owlcat will be this mechanics-accurate.
>>3068554Lifting your cum bottle does not count as reps, neet boy
>>3068568kek, well I'll be checking it out soon enough in the beta.
>Even when announcing Rogue Trader's beta, journos like RPS are shilling for Larian.And that's why I dislike you, Swen.
>>3068552What I'm looking forward to is whether they implement the differences between Common Knowledge, Scholastic Knowledge, and Forbidden Knowledge.I hope they'll implement as many "knowledge skills" as possible, so that it's more difficult than in Pathfinder to create complete skill monkeys.
>>3068610It's not his fault. When was the last AAA budget classic RPG? Dragon Age: Origins? That's almost 15 years.It's a proof of concept. Baldur's Gate III already sold millions of copies. If it'll be additionally good and gain in popularity, you'll see a resurgence of these types of games made by big studios.
>>3068569Ask your mom about my v-line, you limp-wristed faggot.
>>3068631My mother has been dead for 15 years, but I guess that is a way for you to get any.
Space Woof is romanceable?
>>3068426>"I wonder if this civil engineering manual can be adapted into an rpg?"If properly adapted, I would rather play that than almost any modern releases.
>See Rogue Trader Beta announcement>Oh sweet i can finally play PotR now it must be finished>Look at steam page>Still DLCs unreleasedwhat the fuck
Just let me pre order on steam for fuck's sake, i don't want to engage with your shitty site owlkeks for what should be on steam as is.
>>3068653Congrats on being a retarded slowpoke, I guess?
>>3068659But why
>>3068658why the fuck should they give valve 20%
>>3068649Nope.Granted, Owlcat wanted to make him romanceable, but GW vetoed them.No fun allowed cucks.
>>3068633Oh yeah, I forgot that I fucked her to death, my bad.
>>3068675>>3068649Stop being a faggot
>>3068676So edgy. Good thing you have an actual alibi, being a 12 year old retard
>>3068660>support older game with team while main team works on new gameWhy not? And do not bring up polish or anything, this is Owlcat. It just does not happen
>>3068678What? Not so le heckin' wholesome chungus enough for you, tourist? Go back.
>>3068675It is kinda relief. I enjoy romances in crpg, but I wouldn't wanted potential "next Ulbrig"
>>3068677Stop projecting your gay fantasies
>>3068716>Asks if a guy is going to be a romance option>Gets mad when he finds out a guy isn't a romance optionSounds like you're both gay to me
>>3068717A conclusion based on typical inner gaynessYou are gaymost gayish gayAnd should be called "Princess"
>>3068717>>3068719Could you two fuckwits get a room, or on a Discord server, and kindly go away?
>>3068653If you start playing now the other dlc will be out by the time you finish. The next DLC is connected to the main story, it is part 2 of the through the ashes DLC and the last DLC is a shitty hanging around with your companions DLC.
>>3068767>part 2 of the through the ashes DLCoh, so it's also going to be shit?
>>3068767>the last DLC is a shitty hanging around with your companions DLCThat one will be interesting if you're playing as a True Aeon, since by the time the DLC takes place you've already retconned a lot of events.
>>3068770>you've already retconned a lot of events.And noped out of existence
>>3068769Don't know, haven't even finished the base game yet.
>>30687711. That's literally the last 10 minutes of the game. The DLC takes place earlier.2. You didn't cease to exist so much as erase yourself from history. This is confirmed when you can re-manifest at will in Pharazma's court, and in the recently implemented/fixed epilogue for Wenduag if you romance her AND fix her AND keep her memories.
>>3068770I doubt that Owlcat would have put that much thought into it
>>3068767I just want 1 playthrough as i have no intention to replay and I really take my time with those games (I had close to 200h in KM)Thx for the answer
>>3068737Wanna join them?
>>3068610>>3068628Larion becoming the face of CRPGs is a historical tragedy greater than Stalin (or really Russians in general) becoming the face of communism. Inept and uncultured apes should not be allowed to represent ideas greater than their pathetic selves. .
>>3068775How bad owlcat is...
>>3068416And hex grid isn't grid because?
Who's the gay romance? I hope it's a gay bara daddy.
>>3069074SoB for dykes only
>>3069074Are romances even confirmed? Would be kind of a chad move just to not have any at all except for getting molested by a demon if you go corruption route.
>>3069115Pretty much confirmed, yes. Easily avoidable though
>>3069115There are, several are in game and we already know the Aruehsalae rip off weird mutant alien cancer girl is straight. But i want to know which is the hot gay daddy. I hope it's the space wolf, space wolves are so hot.
>>3069124>Aruehsalae rip off weird mutant alien cancer girlSounds and looks more like Wendu.
>>3069157No. Cassie or whatever her name is is literally an Arue rip off. She's all naive and dumb and constantly getting flustered and desperate to experience love, she's the DIsney princess of this game.Wendu was some neutral evil bitch that wanted to kill children and was obsessed with survival.
>>3069120>Rolls up in a Melange tank>Fleshy, disgusting embryo thing that looks like if Donald Trump was left out too long in Mar-A-Lago sun appears from the orange mist>"Uhm... akshully your feeble mind just can't grasp our beauty", the interpreter says>"Okay dust muttie">The embryo flicks back a few strands of atrophied hair, seemingly painted purple and throws a sad, mopey glare back>"I have no wish to discuss this subject further." The interpreter responds
>>3069162>>3069124Fuck off, Farquaad
>>3069166To be fair, she says they cannot grasp how important their role is
>>3069166giwtwm
>>3069006Shut up Frog
>>3069124Gw said no space wolf romance It better not be abelard as the last one
>>3069120Also she's heavily mutated for her age and experience considering she's been caged at home the whole timpwsn02e
>>3069191Imagine if Owlcat were to finally embrace their desire to push against the truly constraining conservative social values and fully embraced the progressive values what they were trying to explore with Areelu and added a secret ending romance option for the previous Rogue Trader from the trailer for whom you are the heir.
>>3069202That would be a positive for straight males so they'll never do it. Owlcat is full of rainbow cuck fags.
>>3068408RTwP animals get the rope
>>3069234Yeah because homophobic Owlcat is so good to gay men. One of the writers even said he wanted to make everyone in their world like women and that gays shouldn't exist.
>>3069264>>3069234>The faggot vs the waifufaggotCripple fight
>>3069191Cassia and eldar girl for guys, inquisitor and dark eldar guy for girls, who else?
>>3069271potentially Jae? maybe they'll add NPC options this time
>>3069006Communism is a kike ploy. You're a faggot and possible a disgusting frenchoid-africanoid.
>>3069264Eat shit faggot
>>3069271Nothing for fags
>>3067746Ive never held a Warhammer 40kg before can someone give me a quick 39 word or less rundown on the plot sk I fully understand everything when this game comes out? No trolls please. Thanks.
>>3069430The plot is that you're a massive faggot who needs to be purged.
>>3069271>cassia>eldar girlFucking 300cm uggo mutant lanklet bitches but NOT the sister of battle. Fucking retarded.>>3069273>jae>ugly granny whore with a voice box hole in her throat like the chainsmoker guy from south parkAnother quality Owlcat waifu option.
>>3069120>>3069197This. Is this even brought up in the game? Usually it takes a Navigator a few hundred years before they look like her, and even that isn't guaranteed - some simply barely mutate at all for centuries.
>A thread touches upon romances.>Immediately the schizo romancefag and the dumb gayfaggot immediately show up.I didn't realise two people could ruin an entire board. This place doesn't have a single janny, doesn't it?
>>3069504 Gets worse every few weeks when Farquad bypasses his ban
>>3069504I hate romancefags so much it's unreal
>>3069520Wait, isn't Farquaad the kid who whines about too few gay romances in Dragon Age and who only comes on during the summer break?
>>3069525No, it's an faggot (or faggot pretender) who want Heinrix as gay option
>>3069470Easy, easyI also dissapointed that SoB is not romanceable, but I not shitpost about other romance option
>5 more days of this shitposting till betaalso a random preview, ign had to take it down on their main site but forgot about their other onehttps://sea.ign.com/warhammer-40000-rogue-trader/199667/video/warhammer-40k-rogue-trader-preview
>>3069534I distinctly remember a Dragon Age: Origins schizo, about a year ago, who kept up showing up and posting lewd pictures either one of or both Alistair and that romancable Templar from Inquisition. I was told that it was Farquaad, a local schizo who seems to only become active during the warmer months (re: like now), possibly indicating that he is a kid on a summer break.
>>3069566Someone has been making DA:O threads on /v/ lately to shit on it. Most likley the same shitposter on here.He seems to hate crpgs, most likley he is a brainlet who can't play them because they are to complex for him.
>>3067900There's no way it can worse than Pillars ship combat, which is the closest comparison I can make, so my hopes are high
>>3069581I think he may or may not be the same guy as the RNG schizo who circlejerks around CK2 and Mount and Blade as the TRUE RPGs
>>3069587>>3069581The faggot outright admits he cheats in all RPGs to make them a cakewalk, and then spergs out about all the romances he doesn't like.He's a literal weaboo faggot who gets triggered by any romance which isn't "pure 100% virgin waifu sucks your cock just for existing, and will never engage in a different romance even if you don't go after her."He's literally what the game "YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story" was mocking/deconstructing.
Shitposter is in the bg3 thread /v/
>>3069614Can you post link? I write from phone
>>3069619>>>/v/638503998
>>3069634Thank you, Anon!
>>3067788The Warhammer universe is the most dogshit of ips where there isn't a single ounce of consistency in it's worldbuilding >Yeah bro space knights >Also space mages >Also them dump paladins with guns That look like the brotherhood of steel >Also space inquisitors The whole thing is an adult swim tier writing where they mash random settings together and hope to be pat on the back for their creative efforts
>>3069672Aside from lack of creativity by having concepts used in tons of fantasy worlds plus SPACE, nothing you posted actually supports your complaints
>>3069673>Aside from your Main point and argument which you clearly stated and outlined, you don't have a main point and argument Are you a fuckin retard That copies how people online argue and keep spamming "aside from" And "what about" in desperation of appearing rational?
>>3069676Why you mindbroken?
>>3069672>Also them dump paladins with guns That look like the brotherhood of steelThis point just makes you look like a retardWarhammer precedes fallout 1 by almost a decade
>>3068077>I'm actually surprised GW didn't use this opportunity to introduce a Votann companionProbably they make them dlc
>>3068214>you can't even romance the sister of battle.Just like irl nun
>>3069676Generic themes and sticking armies, functions, etc in space instead of a single planet does not make a world inconsistent by default.It's a weak, unsubstantiated argument.
>>3070000yet even a retard can see WH40K for what it is, a dogshit IP only manchildren enjoy
>>3070118Riveting
>>3070028Don't respond to him, that's one of the resident schizos.
>>3069672>criticizes 40k for lacking consistency>is a Fallout fanlol. Regardless of any of that, 40k is the only series to do Space Opera properly by accurately portraying the problems that an intergalactic empire would have. Star Trek is just gay communist propaganda while Star Wars is just classic good versus evil and doesn't really delve into the logistical nightmare of a literal galaxy spanning cohesive civilization. Also>Yeah bro space knights>Also them dumpHoly shit, not only are you unable to articulate words properly but you're not even aware of what the series is you're criticizing. This is the most shallow take I have ever seen on 40k, and that says something. 40k is one of the most utterly depressing and soul crushing worlds, and that's its primary point of contention: it's fucking dark.
Gameplay looks like WOTR with a Warhammer skin. Might be cool.
>>3070309It is not.Underlying mechancis and design, movement , cover mechanics etc make it closer to X-Com Lite. Or Shadowrun Plus. With the warhammer skin
>>3070317so it's mechanicus but made by russians?
>>3070256Ok then allow me to reiterate it with as much articulacy as my verbose would allow: I do not think that "gritty" or "dark" is a valid point to make considering how every world built in fiction contains elements of mature/edgy content, furthermore ; when I point out how it lacks "consistency" I mean that it does not contain elements that are unique to its own world, you can look at a random screenshot from vtmb, cp2077, a lord of the rings game, bioshock..etc and you'd instantly recognize the series to which the work is from. Warhammer does not have a unique identifiable feature nor mechanic nor lore, it has every trope ever written in a comic book, fantasy novel, sci Fi Novel, noir novel. low fantasy medievalism, high fantasy magic, sci-fi tech..etc. it is a milquetoast blend of the entirity of fiction that doesn't contribute any originality of it's own
>>3070347>I mean that it does not contain elements that are unique to its own worldConsistency is the absolutely worst word you could have chosen for this. Like, it's fucking confusing and distracts from the point.And you have not engaged with the series at all if you think it does not have aesthetics and concepts that are not replicated elsewhere for the most part. Even considering all their inspirations from other sci-fi settings like Dune and whatnot
i will romance the ranger waifus in any games.
>>3069566>>3069525Anon i'm from south America. It's literally Winter right now.
>>3070714Farquaad? Is that you?
>>3070711I want to an Eldar
>>3070744You want to make long gentle love with her? With anons who don't got SoB are forced to watch?
>>3070748Yes
>>3070748Not him but yeah
>>3070809>>3070754>>3070748>>3070744Imagine how beautiful the world would be if all heterosexuals died.
>>3070811kys so you finally don't have to suffer the world
>>3070811There wouldn't be a world if all hetros died anon. Humanity would die within a few centuries.
>>3070354Based on his examples I'm guessing he's saying that 40k has a lot of different ideas and styles that aren't cohesive with each other, so rather than feeling like one big setting it feels like many small settings. I haven't played 40k so I don't have an informed opinion.
>>3070811Farquaad was made to be broken
>>3070811It's will never happen, you will suck our heterosexuals dicks and you will love it.
Why is this thread so low quality? I thought Owlcat fans were somewhat intelligent
Disregard wenchesAcquire augmentations
>>3070711God I wish there would be a "going native" path for Rogue Trader. If not I'll just have to satisfy myself with technoheresy.
Is there any reason in particular why 40k is so ubiquitous for post-Soviet ESLs? I get a serious impression its Starcraft for Korea kind of deal.
>>3071165Russian tactics have not developed much beyond throwing bodies to a meatgrinder, so they identify with the Imperial army a lot
>>3071165Because modern Russia is pretty much RL Imperium, minus the cool factor. Russians feel at home with 40k.
>>3070347 >do not think that "gritty" or "dark" is a valid point to make considering how every world built in fiction contains elements of mature/edgy contentThis sentiment clearly displays your lack of understanding of 40k as a series and how utterly grimdark it is when compared to other fiction. There are few settings that compare to the utter despair that 40k conveys in its world and messages, and for frame of reference something like Berserk or Drakengard are fair comparisons to 40k's grimdarkness. >Warhammer does not have a unique identifiable feature nor mechanic nor lore, it has every trope ever written in a comic book, fantasy novel, sci Fi Novel, noir novel. low fantasy medievalism, high fantasy magic, sci-fi tech..etc. On the contrary it is the blending of these concepts into something cohesive and that feels like a completely developed society that makes 40k feel authentic. Everything is covered in superstition. Religion is extremely prevalent and relevant despite the advanced technology, and most tech does not even function properly unless you get a Tech Priest to pray over it and use Sacred Machine Oil. Every single thing has its place. 40k Orks are a thousand times more iconic than 90% of Orks in fiction.>reiterate it with as much articulacy as my verbose would allow:Well unfortunately for you, you're not able to use the term "verbose" within proper context nor really understand what that word even means, though this is unsurprising because you don't really understand much of anything.
>>3067978>Kingdom Management was WINE!FIFY
>>3071312In warhammer the races are still kept separate right? There's no random orks in human settlements etc?
>Kingmaker had 11 companions on release and 13 with Wild Cards DLC>WotR had 12 possible companions not including the Lich Companions/Trever/Galfrey, and 13 with Ulbrig>RT has 6 right now, 7 with the Space Wolf and possibly 8 with the supposed Dark Eldar companion.That can't be it right?
>>3071516I'd rather have less but better written companions

>>3071165Russian here, i don't really like 40k, but i love 30k. I would like to live in 30k Imperium, but so far it's not even 40k Imperium but Eye of Terror.
>>3071627They made it because I asked. I tried to persuade them to add ground battles, but there not much of them in plot to justify it, so, they refused.
>>3071621Your payment will probably go through over the next couple of hours. Mine did not show up til later too (I used Paypal.)Unless it is a specific country thing

>>3067889>BG3> the game will be complete on releasetwo more years
>>3071697It's a male Dark Eldar.
>>3071627Because the original Rogue Trader PnP had both.
>>3071829This. Necron companion wouldn't have sense in this story. Beside necrons would feel disgust to ward humans
>>3071820It's literally coming out in less than 3 months
>>3071697>I want a necron companionwhat is Jae
>>3072013And it's going to take another 2 years to release a "definitive" version, with an actual ending patched in.
>>3072033She's coming off as more of a *very* overt Slaaneshi cultist that's into some REALLY hardcore shit.

>>3072033>what if we made Isabela from DA2 but takin away her few redeeming qualitiesWhat were they thinking
>>3072120What qualities you have in mind? I don't want to denied them, but I am just curious
>>3072124She's good looking and she is trying to save slaves about when you meet her so she's not totally irredeemable morally speaking.
>>3072126>save slavesGayder try to denied it in his shitty comic
>>3072120To be fair, Owlcat did admit that Jae was by far the least popular companion according to polls. So maybe they got the message.
>>3072128But why, isn't the hidden golden heart supposed to be the point of the character? If she doesn't even have that what is she left with, two tits?
>>3072130Redemption arc + lovey doovey romance soon
>>3072132Gayder try to denied it, cuz she is a womanAnd he believe that only mans can be good. Especially gay man
>>3072134If that truly is the reason behind it, I have to applaud his redpillness
>>3072143At first he was ok, but during making of DAI he start to behave like other SJW
>>3072133You jest, but Owlcat's response to that was to give Jae MORE content. Only Larian is more clueless about player feedback.
>>3072157I mean, part of the problem is that aside from her introduction, she has nothing.Much less than the rest in terms of commentary. Something extra may give you a reason to like her or at least be interested in whatever her deal is.I do not like Idira much for example, but I am invested a bit in the potential trainwreck
>>3072157>Only Larian is more clueless about player feedback.Sawyer beat him on that
New Drukhari revealed.What do we think?
>>3072697What I expect from Dark Eldars, really
>>3072697omg he's literally me
>>3072697He's not a companion, they confirmed
>>3071465Absolutely. The Imperium of Man is for humans only, as is the God Emperor. Humanity is extremely and utterly xenophobic in 40k because most xenos are outright monsters that need to be put down (Orks, Tyranids) and if not then they're subservive cunts that are a threat to humanity (Eldar, Tau). If an Ork were to approach a human settlement it would be gunned down and its spores burned by flamethrowers so it can't spread and so more Orks won't waaggh against the human settlement.
>>3072837>most xenos are outright monsters that need to be put down40k humans really aren't any better
>>3072894I mean, he's right on that regard>Orks: Psychopathic Mushroom Men that literally have no desires other than killing everything for fun>Eldar: Were such degenerates they created a god that fucked over the entire galaxy, instead of trying to fix it, they fuck off to their monastery craftworlds and will happily sacrifice millions of completely innocent unaware humans to save Farseer Orang'Utan of the dead craftworld Sneed from dying 1 week earlier than he should>Necrons: Space terminators that are split between enslaving, exterminating or trying to possess humans.>Dark Eldar: Psychopaths who skin people for fun because they are too fucked in the head to stop being horrific degenerates and lose their souls>Tyranids: Space Locusts who want to eat everythingThe Imperium is awful but literally everything around them is even worse. Everything wants to fucking kill humans.
>>3072910Tau are good guys
>>3072912>The Caste Based weirdos who are mindbroken by the ethereals and often sterilize human auxiliaries and after the 4th sphere of expansion had a bunch of septs freak the fuck out after the great rift and genocide all their alien auxiliariesThey are a far less smelly turd, yet still a turd
>>3072921still a better place to live than the imperium
>>3072818So no dark eldar companion at all?
>>3072943They only confirmed that portrait isn't a DEldar companion. No confirmation of not having one at all.
>>3072894to paraphrase what I read somewhere;the galaxy ended up eroding humanity softer qualitieshowever, humans and eldars can live and breed together, taus cant say for sure due to ethereals still unknown fuckery, but for the rest there really ain't any other option but holy promethium
>>3073183You know, I absolutely hate the conflict ball between the Imperium and the elves. They should be staunch and reliable allies at this point, but they continue to clash constantly for no fucking reason other than muh grimdark. I guess 40k doesn't want to copypaste Fantasy, where elves and humans are getting along REALLY well, but come on, they've copypasted everything else already. Including Gorillaman being a 40k version of Karl Franz.
>>3072924keep telling yourself that eunuch
>>3073195>They should be staunch and reliable allies at this point, but they continue to clash constantly for no fucking reason other than muh grimdark.When the Eldar brought down humanity and ended the DAoT by being so fucking degenerate they created a new chaos god, the survivors also preyed on humanity. They killed the human golden age and then made sure to spit on the corpse before they fucked off. The Craftworlders are fucking retards, they use the excuse of "There's so few of us" to routinely use humanity as a shield to hide behind when anything comes knocking. The Eldar actively fuck over humans on a regular basis because of their visions of the future, they would never ally with a species they see as literal animals that are barely sapient. WHFB at best saw humanity as something to be guided and mentored, Eldar at best see humans as a convenient meatshield to slow down everything chasing them. Eldrad didn't help the Harlequins to revive Guilliman because it was the right thing to do, he helped because it would keep Chaos's attention focused on the Imperium instead of them.
>>3072912Correction. Farsight is a good guy.
>>3072910Eldars literally had a giant civil war to try and stop the retards birthing slaanesh.And let's not forget exactly who's responsible for the other three.
>>3073247>And let's not forget exactly who's responsible for the other three.Who?Because I refuse to accept that "Crusades birthed Khorne and Black Plague created Nurgle" fanfic. It doesn't even have a scale necessary for it.
>>3072894Humans are better because we are human.Don't be a traitor, anon.
>>3073263Mass Effect 3 ending anon gave birth to Khorne
>>3073221Farsight is a traitor and a dangerous heretic
>>3073267>Mass Effect 3 ending anonRedpill me on this piece of /vrpg/ lore
>>3073331
>>3073337Eh, not mad enough to descend into indoctrination ending schizophrenia or to write out your own ending.
>>3068508>try to romance a succubus>angry about getting cuckedwhy?
>>3069120this is how I would talk to women, if women talked to me.
>>3070028>he thinks you can't romance nuns ngmi
>>3072894but they're humans, so as a human you better hope you're among them than one of the other gangssame rules as in prison
>>3073247>And let's not forget exactly who's responsible for the other three.The Old Ones and by extension the Eldar
>>3072894Yeah but if you want a "good" life in 40k as a human, the Imperium is really the best bet. They are not perfect and have a ton of problems, but they're really the only ones interested in actually preserving humanity and having a "functioning" society. If you're a human in 40k you have two options: Imperium or Chaos. Eldar are too focused on looking out for their own to care about what happens to humans and the Tau are too alien for humans to properly assimilate into their society.
They're really gonna wait until the 1st to give me my code, huh? Can't start installing or anything?
>>3073368>>3073514>>307326440k isn't real nobody is living there anywhere, where would the best place to be as a human wasn't the topic. I have no reason to care about humans anymore than the rest of the species in 40k
>>3073565ya
>>3073630>40k isn't realNot yet.
Can someone post a picture of the male protagonist portrait? The one with the extremely alpha male Moustache? I can't find it anywhere.
>>3073681This one?
>>3073688No. Did they change him? The old one had a red cape and an actual manly moustache not that french faggy Space pirate shit.
>>3073690The commissar one?
>>3073695Yeah that one, damn he was uglier than I remembered, gonna have to photoshop him to look like Henry Cavill.
I am just hoping that Bricky will also get a key this time around. Him trying desperately to figure out how cRPGs work was really abusing to observe.
>>3073247>And let's not forget exactly who's responsible for the other three.The foolishness of the oId ones, the greed/bitterness/envy/foolishness of the necrons and the C'tan. I wont even blame the orks/eldars at this current time since they were just servants without any choice but to follow their creator.Essentially, the main players in the war in heaven set the whole stage by polluting and scarring the realm of souls.Also, fuck erebus.
>>3073696I really hope that Owlcat delivers a lot of portraits this time around, because holy shit, finding custom ones is going to be a pain.Unless we start ripping art from Dune/Fading Suns.
>>3073714I know who I am using, don't care about artstyle
>>3073696>photoshop him to look like Henry CavillAre you one of those gays i've been hearing about?
>>3073688Giving off some Flashman energy there.
>>3073728Yes. Gay rights are human rights.Death to all str8s and death to all Sisters of Battle.
>>3073739What do you have against the sisters of battle?
>>3073714There is supposed to be one per gender per background, so no
>>3073630Sounds like misanthropic cope to me lol
>>3073739anon at least post Tom of Finland if you're going to say that
>>3073739>Gay rights are human rights.Good thing i believe in neither
>>3073695Love this portrait. Infinitely better than the usual Critical Role faggot-y anime portraits
>>3073801Why would I? He's a gross homophobe, literally 99% of his comics have str8 shit in them.
>>3067746If the naval combat mini game has you controlling just the one ship, I might like it. I enjoyed battlefleet gothic but hated juggling multiple ships. Then again I liked the kingdom and crusade management in kingmaker and wotr which seem widely disliked.
>>3073846They could have had something similar to Wasteland 3 like your ship could give you some kind of support in battle like bombing the enemy position, or maybe giving extra intimidation options in diplomacy
>>3073695>>3073688You got any female portraits?
For me it's hive criminal RT
>>3073880I will lick Cassia's gills
>>3073846It's just the one ship
Are there any other settings that would have art similar to 40k for portraits
>>3073884battletech shares some similarities but I don't know if you will find enough portraits/etc online, least of all comparable enough to 40k.
>>3073878Guardsman background Trunchbull just for you
>>3073878Oh and the fem admiral of course, I think we are still missing the latent psyker portraits and some others
>>3073913>ponder the scent
>>3073878> Tranny sees men playing as male characters> immediatly has a panic attack and starts requesting WAMEN!!!!You troons are so sick in the head. Roleplay you're a woman all you want, you will never be one in real life, you'll be just another suicide statistic.
>>3072837>Remember, my fellow humans, to NOT worship me as a god under any circumstances!>Says the 5 meter tall man who dons his golden space armor and flaming sword as he casually teleports into his spaceship which also conveniently designed as a fucking cathedral.Was he autistic?
>>3073938Yes, unironically
>>3073916>>3073913Nice, there was one other portrait in the video, but I don't think it's a psyker lady.
>>3073938Don't forget how apparently magic doesn't exist, the gods aren't real, and the world is scientific and rational. Ignore the fact that warp is very real, people have seen demons and can feel the pull of the warp gods, and the emperor himself is a fucking psychic beacon that you can see from the other side of the galaxy.
>>3073966In his defense he knew all that shit was real, he was intentionally hiding it because he thought if everyone turned atheist it would deprive the chaos gods of their energy and they'd die. Because he was mistaken, he thought it was belief that gave them power and not emotion.
>>3073971Belief does give them power and its stronger than emotion alone, however for one to believe he must first know, which is why chaos also kept infiltrating different religions over time and slowly but surely diverting their worship into its pantheon, hence why the emperor banned organized religion.The probable only reason the imperial cult in 40k 'works' is because by design it aims to counter chaos and because it seems the figure of the emperor himself has anti-chaos energy for whatever reason, which is why he keeps getting called anathema by daemons.His mistake I'd say was severely underestimating the chaos gods. Even the smallest creatures will fight when cornered and I don't know why he thought he would just be able to take a stroll through the galaxy and banish chaos just like that. He knew they were dangerous and yet it almost seems like he ignored them.The solution was probably to go after tech that would separate reality from the immaterium until the entirety of the realm of souls was purged. A reset needs to happen.
>>3073938>Was he autistic?Yes. Also a redditor which makes it worse. Reminds me of how in WW1 when Lenin took over he tried to get rid of religion and then everyone started worshipping Lenin instead due to lacking any other belief system, and he became bewildered at this. Back on topic though, the Big E could've avoided half of the shit that happened in the Horus Heresy if he decided to tone down his fedoraisms and try to understand where Lorgar was coming from more. If he didn't want to be worshipped as a god that's fine but then he has to point towards something higher than himself instead of screeching about "muh science, muh reason" and being dumfounded by the innate human desire for worship. >>3073966Also this. Humanity literally suffered from a robot uprising which ruined everything yet the Big E thought "muh science and reason" was the answer to fixing everything despite the fact we already tried that and it didn't work because it doesn't address people's spirit?
Does this shit have customisable builds or is it prebuilt garbage? I want to pay a guy with an assault bolter
>>3074014Yes it has customizable builds.
>>3074015Is there a preview of how it works? I've probably spent 100 or if my 660 hours in wotr just fucking around with builds
>>3074019Just wait a day for beta leak.
>>3074013>but then he has to point towards something higher than himselfSo he should have lied just to keep people in check?
who is leaking the beta?
>>3068138Oh god 30 minutes for it? Flying a ship sounded cool, but if it's that tedious.. I dunno man
>>3074136Ramzes
Redpill me on psykers. What are they and what do they do
>>3074160People with an inherent connection to the warp and can use magic.If they're not trained then they attract warp predators like giant beacons to the material plane.If they are trained then they're normally slapped inside the golden throne and used as soul food for the emperor. Otherwise they're kept on a tight leash.If they aren't trained they are timebombs at best and will inevitably fall to chaos or figure out how to hide their powerlevel and generally just fuck about.
>>3074160ppl with a strong enough connection to the immateriumand since reality shapes the immaterium, the opposite is also trueAND since on the immaterium literally anything is possible provided enough emotion/belief exists, those with strong enough minds can also bend reality to their willtldr; space mages using hell's energy for magic tricks
>>3074160Explanation for potential newbies: They are 40k wizards. But because their powers come from the Warp, and the Warp is full of Chaos and Demons, they are a potential threat to everybody around them and themselves. So they have to be officially sanctioned and "retrained" by the Imperium in order to use their powers reliably. The unsanctioned psykers are killed on sight, because they are too dangerous to be left alive.Fun fact, Dragon Age ripped off the Circle of Mages/apostates/Fade DIRECTLY from 40k, because it works exactly like that.
>>3074164>>3074163>>3074162Sounds incredibly cool, they chose a good franchise to switch to
>>307416599% of the Warhammer setting has shit like this, its a long enduring franchise with some good stuff in it.I like it mostly because, even with orbital lasers and fucking Tyranids, melee is still a perfectly viable option.
>>3074162Aren't those the unsanctioned one that are fed to Golden Throne? The sanctioned ones who survived the "reedcuation" are too useful to waste and even Imperium isn't that wasteful. The unsanctioned ones are human trash anyway.
>>3074172Some probably are, the Inqusition does capture unsanctioned ones from time-to-time but (unless the lore got updated when I wasn't looking) most of the thousand unlucky fuckers that were fed to the throne were sanctioned.They lived in luxury right up until the throne eats their soul to keep the emperor alive, normal people can't be fed to the throne and is has to be a psyker. The really skilled ones aren't fed to the throne because they are useful.
I am just hoping that if this game does well, we'll get a Black Crusade sequel. Imagine a WotR mythic gimmick, but with Ruinous Powers instead.Also, a potential nerdy birb waifu.
Is the game going to be like Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous? Aren't all the other Warhammer entries just shooters or "build an army and kill in turn based combat" Warcraft 3 tier shit?
>>3074180Would be too busy killing things with a chainsword to care about birb waifu.
>>3074185Its based off the Rouge Trader system which is a D100 pen and paper table top like Anima.Its a true blue RPG following a rag-tag group rather than a single heroic unit or an army like most of the other games.
>>3074185The main 40k tabletop, sure. But Rogue Trader is based on a series of tabletop RPGs, so that's a different story.So yeah, it's essentially Baldur's Gate/Pathfinder in 40k universe.
>>3074136I'll think about it.What will I get in return?
>>3074160also one background is latent psyker
>>3074204I am actually curious how are they going to implement that one. Because rolling a psyker in 40k TTRPGs is always like opening a can of worms. Maybe it will be like a Nosferatu/Malkavian run in VtMB, option that makes playthrough unique.Although, I was hoping for an AdMech background, but that's even more difficult to spin. For a Rogue Trader that is.
>>3074195neet feet pics>>3074208will probably be something akin to Aeon in WOTR
>>3073938If by autistic, you mean, he believed that humans are inherintly not-retarded, then yeah. He was.
>>3074172I'm pretty sure the ones who are considered to be too weak or unstable to be soulbound to the emperor are the ones fed to the astronomicon
>>3067763>Discord role
>>3074208>Because rolling a psyker in 40k TTRPGs is always like opening a can of wormstell us morewhat were the issues?
>>3074700It's mostly a social issue since most people hate psykers and are mistrustful of them but psykers also pose a threat to themselves because they're prone to mutation and being possessed because using the Warp is inherently dangerous and is a gamble.
>>3074208It shouldn't be hard to implement desu, also one of your companions is already an unsanctioned psyker.
>>3074160>Redpill me on>what is psykerBro familiarize yourself with the setting if you're going to play a Warhammer game for crying out loud.
>>3074068No, I'm saying he should've created a religion based on something that's not just about worshipping him if he didn't want to be worshipped. Appeal to an objective morality or something that can be latched onto that's outside of just himself. The problem is that Big E was never capable of this because he's a redditor, only Lorgar was capable of this which is why he should've listened to him instead of sperging out about religion.
What time can we expect beta tomorrow?
>>3074717mechanically-wise then there was a charisma/persuasion hit and the possibility of rolling a bad number and something bad happeningI have a feeling they will be lazy and the only thing that will happen is some extra dialog but I guess we'll see tomorrow
>>3073966but it follows rules and can be gamed, provided the proles don't fuck around with it causing too much chaos which is simply unpredictable for computational reasons.in their world, warp shit is about as "magical" as electricity is
>>3074768Okay but so does everything else in the world, what does that have to do with anything?
>>3074700Open 1d4ch and read
>>3074195i give ye me lobster
>>3074732>humans can't live without religionErebus, please, hang yourself, thanks.
>>3074770Because no one in current age of enlightment without brainrot would make religion out of electricity. Same in warhammer, unless you complete retard you wouldn't worship warp or beings inside it, you will just use it, with care, for your own gains.
>>3074804Man needs faith, he needs structure, he needs hierarchy, and he needs purpose. Religion provides all of that in one package.
Well it's officially June 1st in an hour and 40 minutes in Cyprus, so we'll see if we can activate beta codes on their time or ours
>>3074721Good thing you told me how to then, wiki, books, games? what
only brainlets care about romance
>>3074804Fuck off, redditor>>3074808>Man needs faith, he needs structure, he needs hierarchy, and he needs purpose. Religion provides all of that in one package.Correct
>>3074820Don't worry anon, I'm going in blind as well. The best way is to just figure it out as you go along. WH40K probably has a long, drawn-out history, with too much to consume unless one is severely interested.I know there are several novels at least.
>>3074820Read Horus Heresy series. Start from Horus Rising.
>>3074814They usually do it on like early afternoon GMT +2 or morning for US. It will be proper morning everywhere in the world at least
>>3074808>>3074823nta but the problem with religion in 40k is that it kept being infiltrated by chaos and subverted til the point where the worship was directed towards itfor it to work, first the realm of souls needs to purged and the chaos god killed. the warp atm is just way, way too fucked up to be playing withseal it up, purge it, then think about what to do next
Chaos is good, actually.
>>3074743It'll be 12:00am in cyprus in 1 hourIt's coming between and early morning most likely
Well according to the devs the streamers can release their videos once beta is up, find someone with a countdown on their video and there's your best guess
>>3074828>Horus Heresy series>62 booksnigga what
>>3074886Better get started. 1 book a week, you'll polish it off by next September.
>>3074879do they send keys through email or something? steam only?
>>3074883Mortismal gaming is uploading "a video" tomorrow at 10am cst due to an embargo. 20 hours to go, maybe less
>>3074886this fella covers most of the books I believehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYgoEAJL24Q&list=PLx6N3LVwgba2fGwLtaMz_zwekt7ON85mzthough I recommend reading/listening by yourself if you can
>>3074902You have to log into your account on the rogue trader website and generate a key under digital downloads
OWLCAT YOU LAZY NIGGERSI'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE I FINISHED THE ALPHA IN DECEMBERRELEASE THE FUCKING BETA AHHHHH

>>3074162I thought the really weak psykers or too powerful ones get fed to the Emperor / lighthouse, the weaker but still useful ones get soulbound and trained as astropaths and the remaining get trained and distributed to the different factions
>>3074912Wait next two hours, anonsBeta is on 1:00 at russian time
>>3074927Generally, it goes:>Reliable and useful enough to be sanctionedHe lives and serves soemwhere.>He is not or stops being soHe is fed and serves in death.Exact requirements to be sanctioned are kinda vague, but you cannot be too weak nor so strong and unstable you are about to become a warp chernobyl
>>3074937keyed Russia-anonI'm fairly excited, will have some late coffee and enjoy this beta
>>3074937How do you know anon
>>3074954Is it possible to regain control if you're losing it, such as Idira
>>3074969Probably but no-one around them with good sense is going to take that risk; to just wait and see.
>>3074937>Currently 1:17 in Moscow>No betaIt's fucking over
>>3075016sorry guys, there's been a ukrainian drone attack
>>3075021stay safe Russia-anonI am deploying psychic energy field to protect you
>>3074823based Lorgar enjoyer. >>3074807I don't think you grasp spiritual concepts and people in the modern day are already making cults out of Shrek, and creating secular epistemologies involving "muh aliens" and giant lizards dying to space rocks. >no one after age of "enlightenment" would make religion out of electricityFunny you say that because Frankenstein was written to show how people would use modern technology (specifically electricity in this case) to attempt to play God. Regardless of any of this, you see the Warp as merely a tool but it's not just that, it has dominion over your soul. If you fall to Chaos you are in their grasp and they own you, it goes beyond simply tinkering with energy because the Warp is inherently malevolent, it's not simply just matter or energy. The Emperor made the mistake of attempting to engage in spiritual warfare by depriving his followers of the tools to fight demons (or daemons ig since this is warhammer) and unsurprisingly the result of that is Chaos gaining a foothold due to people being unaware of its' severity and how to combat it. You can only combat spirits of death with spirits of life, and spirits of uncertainty with spirits of certainty, and spirits of rage with spirits of patience. Desire must either be emptied or put in its proper place else it runs wild.
>>3074859Chaos is not "good" but it is honest. The Chaos gods are actual gods and they have dominion and authority and to an extent are worthy of reverence. They offer gifts to their followers, they answer prayers, they have wills and expectations to uphold, and you will dwell with them. The Corpse Emperor is not a god and he has said so himself.
>>3075034>They offer gifts to their followers*turns you into a chaos spawn*
>>3075039Considering the state of most humans that's honestly an improvement.
>>3075024>>3075021I am counteracting his psychic field to harm you
15 hours till beta (maybe)
Who will the Chaos Legion that you encounter be? What will the corruption path look like? Will you be able to convert the Space Wolf?By definition, Lorgar is based
>>3075084Good news, you meat world bearers.Bad news, we have no idea if that means specifically world bearers or chaos undivided.Possible hint:at least one companion has been marked by every chaos god
>>3075085>world bearersWord Bearers. Or did you mean World Eaters?
>>3075087Word, just typing like a monkey.
>>3075085>Wolf - Khorne>Sister - Slaanesh>Psyker - TzeentchBut who would go to Nurgle?
>>3075093>>3075085So this is the first game owlcat have made their own story right? It might end up sucking. They always had an original story to copy before
>>3075095Yes
>>3075093The Inquisitor dude after he gives up upon realizing his entire squad and even the Rogue Trader has fallen to Chaos.
>>3075095My issue with Pathfinder is the gay companions, filled out with mercenaries soon as. Apart from the Dwarf, he was cool except for his gay religion. Rouge Trader will probably be ok with companions due to the innate unkindness of the setting
>>3075095>>3075096ackchually I think this is based on a table game
>>3075108Yeah but as far as i understand that was just a ruleset, not a module.Like how pathfinder is a system, and wrath of the righteous is the story.In this case rogue trader would be pathfinder
>>3075108Sure, but not an actual established adventure path/campaign.While they changed a fuck ton of things for kingmaker and wrath, many of the plot beats and people of interest were carried over.It's one thing to fix a tooting and make a guy have different issues than a druggie husband, and another to do everything from scratch
>>3075108they said the story is original not based on an adventure path
>>3075097Heinrix is marked by slaanesh and tzeentch
>>3075111>>3075113>>3075124we'll see tomorrow then, I'm sure it can't get any worse
>>3075128Well, if the alpha and some look at text files are any indication, Owlcat went for the tried and tested method of adventure storytelling 'it keeps getting worse, FUCK'
>>3075085It would be pure comedy if the list of deities that have claimed Heinrix's soul just keeps getting longer. His final quest just has the Chaos Gods fighting the Eldar Gods and Gork and Mork and the Hive Mind and the Emperor all over his soul while he's still being an angry repressed retard.
>>3075138His quests just involve him sticking his head into increasingly elaborate chaos machines
>>3075133A sovl-ful option
>>3075095They made kingmaker and wrath of the righteous less shit so I think it'll be on the same level as their last games. I've really liked what I've seen on the alpha but they still need to trim down dialogue and exposition imo
>>3075145>Rogue Trader, despite your warrant of trade, your freedom has it's limits, I won't tolerate more xenos in your crew>Now I demand you you to take me to this other forgeworld right next to a warp storm so I can inspect their UltraChaosSoulStealer88,888,888-MolechHorus Deluxe Edition Machine for possible heresy
>>3075177Why the fuck is an Ordo Xenos inquisitor investigating chaos shit
>>3075190Ask Eisenhorn and Ravenor
>>3074886Also short stories. I read most of them, beside skipping few chaos ones which i have no interest in. Right now i am on Siege of Terra part.
>>3075024>>3075067I manupulating your fields to redirect harm to russian government (greatest Russia enemy).
>>3075201It won't work anon, I was given my fields by Putler himself.
>>3075084All I know is that my personal Rogue Trader will 100% be following Slaanesh as I intentionally corrupt my companions.
>>3075138And then Sigmar, Nagash, Horned God, Pelor, Vecna, Helm, Lathander, Lolth, Eilistraee, Melkor, Sargeras, Cthulhu and Unicron all join in on the fun and the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny in Heinrix's head begins, while Heinrix just sits there with a constipated look on his face.
>>3075133I mean, it's 40k, if the game doesn't end with you fighting CSM and some Daemon Prince that was behind everything as a final boss I will eat my boots.Because THAT'S EVERY 40K GAME EVER.Even fucking Fire Warrior ends like this and the story is about fucking TAU.
>>3074180A CHAOS WITCH!STAY CLEAR OF HER AND OPEN FIRE!
>>3075344No.
