Lex Imperialis? Mogged by Void Shadows

Man my alt-itis is making it hard to actually get progress done. At the end of act 1 with 3 different characters rn
>Soldier Pyro/Bio blaster psyker probably going into raven overseer unless theres a better suggestion
>Sniper Operative into eagle overseer
>Re-doing santic/pyro bladedancer
Also considering doing something silly like arbites that goes into vanguard for maximum shotgun counter shenanigans

>>714191325 (OP)
Waifubros are not going to like this one

Does anyone have the arbites portrait edit with the helmet?

>>714191325 (OP)
So which pet is the best? Or is there any that's so bad you should avoid picking it?

>still haven't gotten around to playing this game past the first five hours or so (on several characters)
>now there's even MORE dlc
wtf

The raven

TLDR: 6.5/10 quite mid DLC, Solomon is boring, companion pets are okay, reactivity leaves much to be desired, new bosses are fun, Overseer is fun

Okay so I made it all the way to Act 5 with Solomon. Played everything Lex Imperialis had to offer, and I have to say it was disappointing. Compared to Void Shadows quality, this new DLC is pretty weak. Solomon introduction was that interesting or shocking as Kibbles introduction, I wasn't very excited to meet the Adeptus Arbites companion at all.
Solomon’s personality is flat, boring even, and sorely lacks the nuance or inner conflict that made companions like Pasqal and Argenta stand out. His VA isn't that great either, he is just a generic white guy with a black paint job.
When compared to Kibbles he gets overshadowed greatly, "Domin".
His companion quest is equally underwhelming, offering few surprises and little in the way of emotional or thematic payoff. His reason to spy on you are simple "I was told to do so", again no personality. There is barely any reactivity from other companions on his quest and doesn't integrate very well with the main story. It was too short to or felt like that, since most of the time Solomon was gone doing who knows what and he just shows up later.
Despite all that, the new encounters were fun but not very challenging, I liked the first boss the most.
My thoughts on the Overseer class, It's fun but not viable in higher difficulties. This game is designed around rolling initiative first and nuking everyone on the screen before it gets a chance to act and do the same to you. Tanks are not useful at all, and the shield doesn't make them survive long either.
The Coomrag torture for Solomon was fine tho.
I would also like to add that the Bird familiar is stupid OP, after testing and trying some things I figured it can do crazy AoE and damage. It was fun.

Started out as an arbitrator soldier and I don't know what class to go to now that I can promote. Been doing shotguns. Any advice?
I was thinking Arch militant or Master tactician

>>714191325 (OP)
The main problem with RT is that the combat is fucking boring, even for a TB enjoyer like myself, because it doesn't feel like you're making decisions. What the combat feels most like, is a card game, where you can build your deck the way you want and always draw the same opening hand, with that opening hand always being a one-turn-victory. So every single fight is exactly the same, it doesn't even feel like playing a game.

They try to get around this by making fights with phases, or triggered immunities that force fights to take more than 1 round, but that's just lame.

There are too many ways to do a million damage in one turn in this stupid combat system. To make it even worse, building characters and leveling is fucking boring as well. We have all these hundreds of talents are not only extremely specific, but also completely fucking pointless; I don't even really level 4 of my companions after act 3, because they never get to do anything anyway. I just pick whatever talent happens to be at the top of the list and go with that, it literally doesn't matter.

The Pathfinder games are the same way; the combat is fucking boring, because you just do the same exact overpowered shit in every single fight. Just buff your OTK-guy and then OTK the entire screen. You got all these stats and talents and classes, and it doesn't matter; it's all a mirage, just completely pointless and a waste of your time to read or think about. The combat may as well only be there in these titles so that they don't get classified as point-and-click games.

>>714197305
I disagree

>>714197540
I don't see why, that's an accurate summation of the combat in RT. Even Owlcat themselves have admitted it needs to be fixed.

>>714191325 (OP)
>The story is short but okay
>Solomorne is boring, joins up late, and is locked into both of his classes, so you can't try out different builds for him
>Not much content beyond the questline, the origin, Solomorne, and the new class. Void Shadows expanded the ship and added a lot of smaller side characters to it. They could have at least given the planet you visit as a buildable colony, but nah.
>New origin and pet class are fine, I guess. Definitely not as powerful as Bladedancer and Executioner.
>New loot is decent, but Shields are not that interesting.

It was 7/10, I guess. Not worth a full playthrough just for that, but decent piece of content to experience with the rest of the game if you're planning to play the complete enhanced edition or whatever later. I think I'm burned out on Rogue Trader now. Not going to bother with new playthroughs if the upcoming DLCs are like this.

Still looking forward to Dark Heresy, though.

>>714199849
I'm not seeing any refutations of what was stated. Combat needs to be fixed in RT or it's simply not worth playing.

>>714200939
I feel like I am making decisions
There are some things that are more convenient than others

But besides, what would be a turn based games without those flaws?

I can accept the criticism that it's a tad too easy, I agree some things need to be reworked, specifically about enemies more than what your party can do.
They should be able to do more and more different things.

>>714200939
>Combat needs to be fixed in RT or it's simply not worth playing.
All the issues and unbalancing stem from the Momentum, Heroic Actions, and the action economy system. They're core parts of Rogue Trader's combat, so the combat system needs an almost total rebuild for the problems to be fixed.

They're changing things a lot for Dark Heresy, but Rogue Trader is always going to be what it is.

>Finally get a Dark Heresy game
>Half the companions shown are xenos
It's already a failure.

>>714202190
>anon can't count

>>714202121
If you let enemies have heroic actions too you even the playing field a lot.

>>714202372
Legitinately forgot about the nigress, which just makes it even worse.

>>714202190
>nooo not le hecking xenosrinos it should all be humans!
Boring
Good thing they're actually including something else besides eldar

>>714201210
>What would a TBC game be without critical flaws
A good game.

>>714202463
No, it wouldn't help, it would just mean whoever gets the Heroic Action first wins, at least under their current system. How in gods name they thought things like Finest Hour were a good idea is beyond me.

>>714204930
>it would just mean whoever gets the Heroic Action first wins
Not if the player builds a bit defensively if he thinks the AI might get it first

>A good game.
Such as?

>>714205101
The problem with games like this is the offensive options always massively outweigh the defensive ones, which is why it always turns into Alpha Strike: The Game. As for your second question, if we're talking TBC systems period, Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children is the best TBC game ever made, they solved many of they key issues that generally plague such systems with their AT system and giving defensive options actual viability so you can actually strategize past "I must move first and kill everything before it can do the same to me".

>>714205708
What is Yunaka doing there

Just beat the game and jesus christ Kibellath seriously 1-shot the c'tan with her heroic action, why are we not sending death cult members against the tyranids?

I forget, how do you upgrade your augars to scan the ice planet

>>714206018
Considering that Yunaka is in a game that was released three years after Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children came out I would wager that Yunaka is the ripoff of Irene, and not the other way around.

>>714206210
>Kibellah 1 shot the C'tan
Yeah RT combat sure is challenging and tactically satisfying.

>>714206309
It's the ship upgrades for Auspex, you need a higher tier part for that in order to get the option.

Can someone explain why Calcazar is wrong?

>>714207743
Why would the first colonists not be already developed enough to not be feudal

>>714207287
Basically he's wrong because C'tan are a literal cancer upon reality the same way Chaos Gods are a cancer upon the spiritual plane that is the Warp. At absolute best they're immortal, unknowable, and abhorrently powerful. There's a reason the Necrons keep the Shards locked down tight unless there's an emergency. Sure a C'tan might help try and close the Rift, but it could just as easily not understand or not care about what it's being told to do, and it could instead go around inverting Pylons to expand the Rift instead.
What's more is that Shards themselves are not wholly invincible. The moment the Necrons and Eldar learn that one has gotten loose or, even worse, been enslaved by the Imperium, Calcazar will have multiple Craftworlds and Dynasties kicking down his door, and unlike Crudarach these are going to be gunning for all out war.
So at best Calcazar requires an unstable and highly dangerous pawn that can turn on him in an instant and cause untold damage to the Imperium, at worst most of the Koronus Expanse gets glassed by the galaxy's oldest heavy hitters.

>>714208447
>Why would the first colonists not be already developed enough to not be feudal
societal collapse during the Age of Strife

>>714208447
People forgot to pass the information down
Natural disaster killed everyone competent
Someone decided Imperial dogma needed Feudalism
Come up with a reason yourself, it'll probably work

>>714207287
Because George Warhammer would never allow for a shift in status quo. That's it, that's the only reason. Other than that Calcazar's plan, if it fails at the very least won't make things much worse. But if it suceedes it will be more beneficial to the imperium than robby waking up

>>714208850
>"things can't possibly get any worse than this"
This is probably engraved on the Golden Throne, or maybe the Emperor's actual bones

>>714208850
No, that other guy is right, if you actually managed to pull it off you would be doomed to getting annihilated by the Necrons and Eldar who would move you way, way up on their priority target list, and no, the Koronus Expanse combined and united could not stop even one of the major players from either of those factions.

>>714209271
>For the first time in over 60 million years the Eldar and Necrons team up specifically to smash Koronus into dust, all because of Calcazar

>>714207287
>Can someone explain why Calcazar is wrong?
I can't. There is honestly no reason to stop him, he is such an example of a "did nothing wrong" villain it actually kinda sucks in a way. Because even game struggles to come up with a reason why should you even bother follow him to stop his plans. Kinda like with Kreia in Kotor 2.
>Wouldn't a c'tan be able to close the great rift?
This would seemingly suck for all creatures with soul. This used to be a natural state of the galaxy anyway and Necrons almost managed to sever connection of galaxy from the Warp which is why those Pylons were there around the Eye of Terror.
However back in Old Ones time Warp didn't suck like it does now with Chaos Gods

Does anyone even use grenades

>>714209834
A lot

>>714209834

In what situation is a grenade better than any of your abilities

>>714209760
Shut the fuck up Calcazar, you're a traitor and a madman.

>>714210029

>>714209271

Eldar are so irrelevant that they can't even annihilate your meager protectorate. As for necrons they'd have to wake up first, and we have a ctan preemptively destroying their tombs

>>714209760

He didn't put out
>even game struggles to come up with a reason why should you even bother follow him to stop his plans.
lol. lmao. Sounds like iconokek issue. He himself invited me to follow after him and lend him a hand. You're not wrong though. Game completely falls apart in act 4 and fails to provide any incentive for you to get involved in anything

>>714210091
your only choice then is the RT

Anyone played/playing on Deck? any good?

Is there any particular benefit to opening the hidden room as part of the heretic option during the prologue? I figure with all the stuff added I can get Rank 2 in the conviction I want and Rank 1 in the other two by the end of act 1 so the 15 point swing is flexible

>>714210129
>He thinks Koronus is the entire galaxy
Buddy
Koronus is a footnote of a sector
If even one of the major Craftworlds gets involved (and it won't just be one) then every human planet in the Expanse is getting sent back to the stone age.
And if the Necrons get involved, it's going to reach either Imotekh or Szarekh, and in either of those cases you're better off braving the Warp without a gellar field.

>>714210415
'rader on 'deck

Did they really change the female arbites portrait

>>714210129
lol
lmao
If you think some OC Donut Steel craftworld Owlcat created just to blow up for a plot point represents the power of the Eldar in the 40K setting you understand nothing. You also don't seem to be aware that the Expanse itself is a pathetic backwater that virtually any faction including the T'au, who are a tiny, barely relevant joke, could overwhelm with ease if they felt like it.

>>714210642
They did

Just make a RT anime already GW

>>714210841
it'll be an isekai harem anime

>>714210487
Buddy. The ctan plan is not to defend koronus. It's just a test run. If it succeedes and it does according to ending slide Calcazar plans on creating more yokes to protect the entire Imperium

>>714210672
>OC Donut Steel craftworld Owlcat create
No, I'm actually talking about a craftworld, supported by the clowns coming after you in the ending slides, achieving nothing of value but having themselves and some humans killed and fucking off to lick their wounds.

>>714211051
Those ending slides said the worlds of the expanse get devastated by the Eldar so yeah, not really seeing it, and that was just punitive raiding, not an all out assault. You seriously understand nothing of 40K if you think Calcazars plan succeeding would do anything but utterly doom the Expanse. Typical Inquisitor, really.

>Retards thinking the Eldar are capable ofndoing jack shit
I mean I can kinda see the Necrons maybe being an issue but the Eldar wouldn't even last a week. We already kniw Calcazar has a weapon that can casually obliterate craftworlds, and it would be no issue at all to use it again. Even then the Eldar themselves are laughably weak and would just beg for mercy once they realize they've lost 9/10ths of their force in one engagement with Calcazar.

>>714210812
Any comparison pics?
The current one just looks weird

>>714211289
>the worlds of the expanse get devastated
?
Half a century later, the Expanse trembled to the echo of Aeldari war songs. Myriad warbands appeared out of nowhere, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake before disappearing into Webway Gates, masterfully hidden from the eyes of mon-keigh. The Children of Asuryan had come to avenge the death of the craftworld Crudarach. Their woeful retribution lasted many decades until both races were warworn and out of blood to spill.

>>714210919
>isekai

>Harem

>>714211571

>>714211571
>Their woeful retribution lasted many decades until both races were warworn and out of blood to spill.
The funny part is that this means the Eldar outright lost, because Humans will regain their casualties in a handful of years while the Eldar never will.
Space Elves stay losing.

>>714211571
So it was a bunch of punitive raids, like I said.

>>714211901
Even if you outright ignore the Eldar the Necrons are also going to come knocking. I get you guys want some kind of Yes Man ending where your PC is super powerful and overcomes all problems but the reality is the Expanse would be destroyed by multiple factions if the C'tan shard was used. Welcome to 40K, your little protagonist is just a tiny part of a much, much bigger overarching universe.

>>714212563
wait so you didn't even remember the ending you were talking about? lol

Is Act 3 better at least if you kill Yrliet?
I'm guessing you still get dumpstered by cutscene logic anyways

>>714212960
You do, but the betrayal is certainly better than "ohhhh yeah I trusted the deldar I'm retarded"

>>714212960
It makes way, way more sense and you actually get an interesting follow up with both the traitor and Heinrix, if you take him with you to Commoragh.

>>714212960
You find out that Yrliet wasn't lying when she said she was actually trying to protect you from the real traitor, because the real traitor gets revealed

>>714212960
It's still railroaded but it hits better. There's literally no reason to not kill Eldar on sight, they add nothing of importance to the story.

>>714213128
>>714213116
>>714213112
>>714213027
Alright, I'll kill her during the Janus rebel boss battle then after refusing her to join in this new run.
Yrliet is fucking insufferable at least Marazgay is entertaining

>>714213128
Yrliet isn't even an Eldar, she's like some Human cosplaying as what they think an Eldar is or should be. I swear the writer who created her read absolutely nothing about how Eldar work in 40K before writing the character. Marazhais dialogue gives more insight on Craftworld Eldar than Yrliets does, for fucks sake. At least the guy who wrote him actually did their job.

>>714212560
That's what I mean. Eldar can never win against any quickly breeding force. Zerg rush is a legitimate tactic whether they like it or not

Lorelet and INTlet here, can someone explain what the hell happens in the intro in Cumrag
Why is Marazhai punished by his superior or something despite bringing the Rogue Trader to her, why do they drop your still living body in a pit instead of killing you etc., what did they want with RT other than revenge for interefering with their plans?

>>714210397
>He himself invited me to follow after him and lend him a hand.
Once you already meet him in Necron tomb, yes. But at the end of act 4 there is no reason for you to pursue him the way dialogue and story tries to force you to do so. Those faction leaders at Footfall giving farewells to you and parting gifts as if you were going to battle some great evil felt retarded too.

>in the trilogy they are absolute badasses
>outside of the trilogy they get shit on by a dozen writers
reminds me of kai leng in mass effect 3 where you could clearley tell the script writers and the scenario writers had beef

>>714211431

>>714212960
100% Yrliet is the only character that I know of whose existance outright makes the story worse

>>714211289
>the worlds of the expanse get devastated by the Eldar
Eldabros are so funny

>>714213749
>Once you already meet him in Necron tomb, yes.
No. When you go to Footfall again to confront him and he's not there his valet will relay a message from Calcazar in which he apologizes for keeping you in the darkness and gives you the coordinates where you can find him and invites you to follow him. You don't have to torutre the valet for that information in this case

>>714214224
wtf? I was best buddy with him and got black signet and never got this option. I only could torture his valet or scare him with Heinrix. Was this added in some update?

>>714214423
I'm not sure. But to desu it was also in my "I wanna be an inquisitor" run, so mabe that was part of it. Either that, or it was added later

>>714213649
Marazhai brings you there specifically the set up the farcical "trial" and trick you into confessing to working with another drukhari (an enemy of his boss) to undermine drukhari operations in the expanse. It doesn't work so they punish him and throw you away since none of them care about you beyond the trial.

>>714209834
I would if they automatically filled to specific slot types, a bit like the context menus you get in KOTOR
Having to put grenades back after using them is annoying

>>714213649
Marazhai and his sister Yremryss constantly seethe at each other because that's what drukeks do. Marazhai wants to become an archon of the reaving tempest kabal, but for that to happen he needs to get rid of his sister. Why he can't just kill her during their weekly buttfuck sessions is anyone's guess, so he sets up an elaborate keikaku in which he organizes a kangaroo trial where he accuses his sister of working with you to undermine drukek operations in the expanse. Since you obviously don't work with her he drugs you up so that you agree with every accusation thrown at her (why he didn't just come to you and persuaded you to work with him is anyone's guess 2. Probably would be too easy for keikaku to work - those need to be elaborate). But, due to your OC donut steel powers you overcome the mindfuck parasite poison and completely ruin his plan. Which results in him getting punished for wasting everyone's time and you being thrown in the dumpster, because you're some literally who nobody cares about.
That's the gist of it. There's more to it but you'll learn the details later.

Why do Drukhari constantly raid for new victims when they literal cloning technology? Why don't they just keep cloning the victims they already have?

Max out anything that gives Damage Over Time effects (burning, bleeding etc.). Take Enflame psyker power, and the Heroic Action upgrade that lights everyone on fire.

Then just hit the Heroic Action, use Enflame, and watch everyone in the battlefield turn into ashes.

>>714215465
Marazhai was right in general though, he just got the wrong dude, although you and he don't find that out until way later.

Is there a way to Side with Calcazar and keep Nomos?

>>714216616
There was that time Maugan-Ra solo killed an entire Tyranid Swarm.

>>714218192
That got retconned, anon. He was actually taking part in the battle for Iyanden at the time.

>>714218536
Wrong. You're confusing two separate events. The one where he helped Iyanden was in 992.M41, when they were fighting Hive Fleet Kraken. The one where he solo slaughtered an entire swarm by himself was in 997.M41, and that was against Hive Fleet Leviathan.

Maugan-Ras redesign is terrible, no Eldar should be that beefy, the old art was better.

Who gonna take eldar seriously honestly?

>>714207287
Well for starters he killed billions of imperial citizens, became a stooge for the Dark Eldar (unironically as bad and worse than Chaos) and his entire plan would and does fall apart without the RT picking up the pieces at the end and he would have unleashed a shard of the fucking void dragon, essentially dooming the sector wholesale.
To sum up: Treason, Xenoheresy, loss of an entire sector
Inquisitors were declared Excommunicate Traitoris for less.

>>714210487
Why even mention Eldar? They are the universe's toilet. They barely have the capacities to operate in civilized space, let alone the fucking sticks that is the Expanse. Next time just lead with the Necrons, they're an actual threat.

>>714213116
Will Yrlikeks ever stop coping with this.

>>714225546
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Owlcat's previous game that attracts several schizos like that one, most of them seething because Owlcat isn't making another Pathfinder game any time soon

Ok. Did I fuck up by sparing Idira?

>>714229486
no, she's useful as a party member and has an interesting quest

>>714229486
No, literally nothing wrong happens again
>>714229640
>has an interesting quest
lol

Man the Stolen Autogun you can get before Rykad really turns Argenta into a giga goddess early huh? Shit's insane and if you get the Agi on shot perk she gets invincible real quick. The 3AP burst is annoying tho.

>>714229789
Wait till you get the heavy stubber.

>>714229789
She's a firm believer in spray and pray.

>>714229789
Just grab the Ripper burst gun from the same place, 8 ROF, 15 Recoil, decent damage, 2 AP cost so she can fire twice with Run and Gun on Turn 1, it's vastly better

I wish there were more Psyker disciplines
The amount of spells is so shitty even when compared to something like BG3

Eldar don't belong in positions of power.

>>714196440
>>714195046
I like the idea of Arch Militant since you can use that double slug attack alternating with normal shotgun fire to build versatility stacks.

>>714232130
Lmao really? Xenoids btfo

ehhhh not a big deal

>>714234448
Is it different now?

>>714232250
Can you do arch-militant with just ranged single/aoe or melee single/aoe without needing to switch between ranged and melee?

>>714236989
Yes, just alternate between single target and area attacks.

>>714236905
Yeah, I think lvl 5 for sanctioned and lvl 7 for unsanctinoed or something like that

>>714230674
there's a mod, at least

>>714237113
>Caring about the base number

Psykers Breastplate + Gloves from the Navigator voidship for forever scaling PR. I think I broke 50 a few times as a Chainsaw Warrior.

>>714237876
Why does Idira get to be unsanctioned? I want to be unsanctioned too, mom! It's not fair!

Every once in a while I try Meltas on Pasqal and get reminded that the lack of uniques until the second to last fight of the game is complete ass.

>>714238413
You can become an unsanctioned psyker by picking psionic awakening as an examplar.

>>714238830
Holy based

Can now confirm that Eagle Blind does not synergize with Idira, no 10% bonus damage from going after an enemy debuffed by Idira. I guess it's because the bird did the actual effect and is it's own unit.

Eagle is still op as hell though.

>>714239348
That's only halfway through the game though and they've completely botched it with dlc experience gain.

>>714239750
you must be hitting it before Cumrag with both DLCs at this point

What's it like playing with DLCs from the start compared to DLCs midgame? I've been putting this whole thing off until DLC was out but now there's another whole season pass wtf.

>Servo skull can activate the lift on Footfall for you before you'd normally be able to use it

Any other unique familiar interactions?

>>714240047
Arbite DLC doesn't actually kick in til partway into act 2 and should be done around level 25 anyways so no point putting it off longer.

Void Shadows is a preference but imo you should check out the Chapel and Astropath room in Act 1 since the loot/xp there doesn't break the early game (only weapon is a power maul that's slightly better than the generic one) but the Train Line should be done sometime before you finish reclaiming your planets in Act 2 since doing it in act 1 will give you some overpowered gear and enough XP to kick Aurora to death with Tier 2 heroics.

>>714239816
I'm currently doing dargonus raid and I'm already 3 levels into exemplar. It's stupid, bacause narratively unlocking psykic awakening right after commoragh was cool narratively since you've just experiences a huge mental and physical ordeal and that's what often triggers psychic powers in people.

>>714191325 (OP)
That dog's face armor looks like one of those puppy play masks

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing half the time in character creation. All my MC's go forge world for subskin armor

Which leaves me with 2 slots in which to rotate out every other party member. Fuck this shit.

>>714240958
The artstyle in this game is far too soft and cartoonish overall.

>>714244102
Just don't take them?

>>714244102
Oh and mind you that's FORCING myself not to take Abelard. So really it's one free character slot.

>>714244228
Seriously?

>>714244291
>going outside without Tech/Logic or Awareness/Warp or Dakka or your valet

>>714244228
The portraits are *actual* portraits, at least for the protagonist and companions. So they're meant to be flattering.

>>714244361
Cherry picking the handful of minor character portraits that made it through unnoticed while the main game looks like a Blizzard job.

>>714244463
Are you a schizo?

>>714244463
You forgot your ablooblooeslop picture, anon

>>714244531

Try the actual game next time. It looks like kid-safe slop.

>>714244406
Half your characters can have awareness, and warp isn't that rare.

Fuck tech and logic though.

Uh-oh, meltie

>>714240456
Thanks

40k as a whole has gotten so child friendly and G rated in the last 15 years. I can't wait for the next installed of Young Space Marine Adventures

>>714244594
I take it as a yes

So everyone just runs with
-RT Officer Servo Skull
-Pascal Eagle
-Jimmy Raven
-Solo Man Dog
right?

What do you think the companions for the next dlcs will be? Remember that the companion is packaged with a new origin that the RT must have access to, so xenos are automatically out.

>>714244996
>-RT Officer Servo Skull
Servo Skulls are for serfs. I run an eagle like any propper noble of the Imperium would
>-Pascal Eagle
>not giving a tevhpriest a swarm of servoskulls
baka
>-Jimmy Raven
Jimmy's only friend should be me, so he's an executioner
>-Solo Man Dog
Yes

>>714245390
They confirmed the next set of DLC won't have origins or archetypes thougheverbeitmay

>>714245390
It'll be lame shit like nucrons and a circus clown and not what everybody actually wants

>>714245818
But I want a nucron. Score!

>>714245818
There's no way they give us a Necron companion

>>714245390
I don't want new companions. I want new content for the existing ones

The game is pure turn-based? How long is 1 fight?

>>714246304
One to fifty minutes

>>714245390
Give me my own Sslyth

>>714246014
I want as many new companions as possible, so that the party comp gets completely unhinged. Gimme a Sslyth, a flatbear, a Kroot and a clown, coordinated by a dorfbot capable of alcoholism.

>>714246304
Usually about a minute. There are multi-phase fights that may take up to three minutes.

>>714245390

what makes you think this?

>>714250183
>Officer
>Soldier
>Operative
>Warrior
>OOK

The Lex Imperialis companion mission is pretty fuckin cool. That final fight was well made and actually kinda hard.

>>714241658
RP, don't minmax. You'll have a lot more fun that way.

>>714244102
Just pick the ones that fit your character best. Like for dogmatic you'll probably always want Abelard, Argenta, and maybe Heinrix. Don't play favorites or you'll miss out on a lot of dialogue

>>714241658
It doesn't matter, multiple companions can wipe every fight in the game on max difficulty in one turn.

>>714243768
Too much work to add this shit manually, also it doesnt change in the UI

I will not stand for such unclean look

>*turns you into a girl*

>>714243304
How would this makes sense? Your character was born and lived on that planet and got to this position. How could you change it?
Respeccing is a fucking dumb antiRPG feature to begin with

>>714251761
>said girl ends up on a dump with a dog and a horse, and then later a thug tries to rip off her dress, and all your checks have 0 success

>>714251810

Owlkek games are for build autism, and lack of full respec is bad

>>714251908

go play with a spreadsheet if all you care about is numbers, faggot

>>714252213
The reunion scene at the elevator was very disappointing I must say.

>>714191325 (OP)
I feel like it needed another few months in the oven. I was hoping for more weapons more than anything. The story was pretty good.

>>714194962
>Tanks are not useful at all on higher diff
In your hands maybe, shitter-kun.

>>714251263
yeah sure if you follow some optimal build guide like a dogmatichud instead of taking traits that make sense for the character.

>>714252543
>the character's whole personality is killing heretics with a gun

It was stated in game that the infection happened way before her time. it was her predecessor and considering the resentment was brewing for that time then yeah, they were e Dogmatic or Heretical

ICONOCLAST FTW!!!

>>714252004
fuck you
I want each dlc to be a proper expansion of a game, spread across it and naturally enhancing my future playthroughs

>>714251908
>he can't pass coercion check as Maive

>>714253285
I agree. The only reason this fails is exclusively because the imperium assaults you. It is not an issue of the ideals but an issue of those who are too afraid to lose power. And if the idea is that I should do what they say and suck it up, it's just not an acceptable mentality for me.
