Thread Question: Should games have different paths/reactivity depening on your stats?

>>531771385 (OP)
Forget Argenta I wanted a Pasqal romance

Pasqal and Argenta should have romanced each other

>>531771385 (OP)
>Thread Question: Should games have different paths/reactivity depening on your stats?
Absolutely

>>531771385 (OP)
LayMAN, Pasqal. That's what i am. A Lay-Man.

>TQ
classes should share the same general story flow but have individual objectives unique to them along the way
swtor did it best

Finally. Let's go.

>>531771512
You might have your wish in DH. Though I doubt it will be a full-blown admech. Probably some lowly tech-acolyte that hasn't even had his bodily fluids replaced yet. A fraud in other words

>>531771385 (OP)
>Thread Question: Should games have different paths/reactivity depening on your stats?
This is a very silly question, of course? Why would you ever not want this?

>>531771630
Pasqal and Argenta should've both been raped in Commoragh, rather than just Pasqal being raped. Absolutely misandrist writing on Owlcats part.

>>531771673
I can't read alcoholism, what's it say

>>531771871
Thats fine I want a admech bf

Argenta has strong pussy, not rapable

>>531771895
Very few games do it. Only Fallout 1,2 and Arcanum have low int specific dialogue for example, and no one has ever tried to write a low str or low cha equivalent

>The monster disappeared, and silence returned once more. Steam rises from freshly baked cookies and fragrant tea on the table. Arueshalae gazes at her dream. You've never seen such joy on her face. “I... I just want to live here, in the mortal world. With you. I've solved the goddess's riddle. This is my true dream!”

>Arueshalae’s fragile body flares with a rainbow light, a swarm of blue butterflies surrounds her. She looks at you with shining eyes. “I love you. Will you be with me? Will you share my dream?”

>The girl flinches, but doesn’t pull her hand away. She squeezes your hand with her dry, hot fingers. “I believe you. You must be real — I don’t want to imagine a world where you’re not.”

>As if she was just waiting for that, Arueshalae answers your smile with one of her own. “Together, no hardship will scare us. We’ll get through it! We definitely will!”

>The heat radiating from Arueshalae’s body warms you and fills you with peace. Closing her eyes, she leans closer into you, her face moving toward yours...

>Arueshalae takes your hand in her small, hot palm, and the world around you fades away.

I bless this thread with my hands.

>>531771995
This and also the same for vigdis and Pasqal. basically they are different versions of "In High Gothic, Doc"

>>531771759
And I wasn't specifically talking about romance, just using that as an example of people giving Owlcat a free pass on their incompetence by blaming the company they're licensing from. Which is bullshit, even if there was an issue from the property they're licensing, that's something Owlcat should've properly communicated and avoided to begin with, you don't start development on your ideas and THEN ask the license holder for permission, you go over your plans and what's acceptable or forbidden to start with, that way you don't waste massive time and effort on rewrites or changes after the fact. So even in the best case scenario for Owlcat, it would still be their own incompetence and mismanagement to blame.

Also Argenta is clearly a major victim of the cuts, her entire questline post Commoragh was obviously meant to be a side dungeon, instead it doesn't even get a book segment. Absolutely abysmal garbage on Owlcats part. It's quite disgusting they've never even patched in a book segment for that, how hard can it be to draw 1-2 pictures and some dialogue? They are incompetent and lazy hacks, is the only conclusion a reasonable man can reach when looking at such failure.

>>531771759
>I mean she literally has half the dialogue of all the other characters
Yeah, nah, unless you're gonna provide some numbers I'm gonna say you're exaggerating

>>531771385 (OP)
>Should games have different paths/reactivity depending on your statistics
No. It's a waste of time to add things that only a small fraction of the playerbase will see or experience, for virtually no net gain compared to the time and effort it takes to develop the content in question. You would be much better off spending that time expanding other parts of the game that are more core to the experience 90% of your playerbase will interact with. Anyone who says otherwise is a delusional faggot who doesn't understand time and resource costs.

>>531772638
Argenta runs out of content right after you meet the cultist on footfall. That's the last time she feels like an important character

>>531772498
Why do you pretend to be Ladoshkin?

>>531772951
I wonder what happened with Argenta for her to be so ass. I don't think its a romance route being removed.

Makes me wish they would use the dlcs to expand on the old characters.

>only 3% of players have done the Lex DLC
That's kind of low, no?

>>531772951
Even her Commoragh content and Theodora reveal are handled terribly, she doesn't get tortured or raped so there's no real weight to her suffering, unlike every other character, and so the Theodora reveal falls flat entirely because it's supposed to be her cracking under the trauma she's going through, except she didn't actually go through any trauma so the whole scene makes no sense and feels utterly out of place and time as a result.

Argenta's and Idira's friendship arc is my favorite companion interaction/scenario in the game though.

>>531773253
Lex is not Void Shadows, word is already out that it's not worth a full replay of the game to experience the DLC content, anyone with a brain is just going to wait for the next pass of DLC to do a full replay rather than wasting it on Lex and ending up too burned up to do yet another replay when the final DLCs release.

>>531773253
3.7% is the achievement of the captain of the heartless, there will be many buyers who have not yet even started the playthrough or reached the heartless, or some that stopped playing after act 1 for whatever reason

>play one(1) game of multiplayer with a friend

>the game creates a local save file of HIS GAME on my pc
>all his game settings overwrite mine

I am enraged beyond reason that I now have to sit through a faggot fucking animation for every single fucking ability in the FUCKING GAME

>>531773710
Its cute. Wish it had some fanart.

>>531773710
For me it's every itneraction between Jimmy and Idira. Argenta and Idira is kinda lame because they hate each other, and then they suddenly don't

>>531773710
It could've been, if it developed more gradually and more content, but instead it just creates tonal whiplash that makes no sense because neither of those conditions were met.

>>531773927
Classic owlcat

Yes, we should have had total knife ear death and instead now we have you roaming our cities like bums
Fun fact, did you know that Antivans were only 3% of the population of the Tevinter empire, yet owned 70% of the elven slaves?

>>531771673
i have a pic with these runes too, was never able to decipher it

mass effect 4 we never got, schizo inquisitor was my favorite

>>531774278
Dragon Age had so much potential, and it's all gone now. Pathetic, really. They should've just kept making Forgotten Realms and Star Wars games.

>>531774340
It's a based on a russian meme. Hard to explain. It's a badly misspelled list of things to do in the morning and in the evening like "Praise the Omnissiah" or "Write code", but, like I said, badly misspelled

>>531774561
>using Abominable Intelligence to translate
you are no fun, but thx I guess

So why is it you cannot romance Ember in WotR? I swear Owlcat makes the best girl in every game unobtainable, is it some goddamned rule in their company? It's ridiculous you cannot romance such a sweet and kind girl who relies on you totally and completely. Do they not understand what their audience wants at all?

>>531774924
Get out

>>531775040
Do you have any actual reasoning as to why she's not romanceable? No? Then fuck off.

Shitty bait today.

>>531775040
Literal child, next question.

>>531771385 (OP)
>Should games have different paths/reactivity depening on your stats?
Romances should only be available if your stats match the specific tastes of the person you're trying to romance.

>invites me to hear a story or two in front of the fire
>Starts lecturing me about how evil humans are
I know next to nothing about this conflict and I already think Tevinter didn't go far enough

>>531775304
How is it bait? She's cute, fun, and nice. She's not a former Succubus with a body count in the hundreds of thousands, and she's not a psychopathic cannibalistic killer (there are two of those). Of those options she is clearly the best choice. Oh, and if you're going to try and claim "but she's a child!" Owlcat themselves said she is not. She's actually one of the oldest people in the party and 2+ decades past Elven maturity.

>>531775703
Cassia is romancable, though.

>>531775703
She's not a child though, you do realize she gives her birthday and she's 110 years old, right? Even as an Elf that means she's a full adult, in fact she's several decades over what Pathfinder considers fully mature for an Elf. So, no, not a child.

>>531775996
the ONE good thing out of the later games is proving that "we dindu nuffin" is wrong and the elves indeed irreversibly fucked up everything for themselves and everyone else

>>531775836
Also some of them should have unreasonably high standards, and require a carefully minmaxed build to qualify

>>531771154
Not this shit again
There are 3 proofs for this and they keep getting reposted too in RT threads. Yes, it was GW doing, explicitly. GW said no romance and that's it

>>531774924
because arue already existed in the original adventure path and was given the sweet naive romance story instead

Holy fucking tsundere
She just lost 5 opinion of me because I helped a boy convince his crush to give him a chance btw

>>531773253
I only boarded Heartless for now from Lex. I arrived on Dargonus to trigger Solomone, then recently did Janus and now I'm going to Kiava Gamma. I'm still yet to assault that Genestealer station (haven't experienced that yet) and do all this stuff with Marzipan, fly around the galaxy and then go do companion sidequests including his

>>531777481
You are such a bitch. It's far more entertaining to fuck that girl and taunt the guy for being a such a worthless loser. Morrigan gives you approval for that, by the way, since it's the chad move. Imagine helping a worthless loser win over a girl he doesn't even deserve to have.

>>531778242
>It's far more entertaining to fuck that girl
I didn't even know that was an option
But my character wouldn't, he has Morrigan

>>531778487
So? Getting your dick wet in another girl isn't going to make Morrigan stop liking you, dude, in fact she likes that you can teach that little faggot a lesson about having to earn what he wants himself. You shouldn't be romancing Morrigan if you don't have the brash, confident attitude she likes, you're too sweet and soft for her. Should've just gone with the French whore.

>>531778242
>>531778729
Good lord, I'm overcompensation detector just exploded.

>>531778729
>Getting your dick wet in another girl isn't going to make Morrigan stop liking you
I believe you are missing the point
> brash, confident attitude
Huh? Confidence has little to do with it
I just bragged to the elves that I would make short work of the werewolves unlike their hunters
Confidence is not when you fuck people over for fun, that's called being CE

>>531771679
Humiliation ritual

>>531779030
He is a weakling. What has he done to deserve that girl? He just whines and cries about it and the entire reason he can't get her is because he is a failure and is not doing what he needs to do to pass the test. She's absolutely right to not want anything to do with him, he'll be a net negative on her life. Even if you don't want to fuck her you can still advise her to get rid of the loser. Why would you help the guy out when he's done nothing himself to earn what he's after? You are not performing a righteous or Good aligned action helping her, you're chaining a girl down to a loser by giving her false hope that he's actually not such a pathetic faggot by cheating on his test for him. That is not a moral action.

>>531773546
She says that she fought in the arena until some monster sent at her broke through a wall and allowed her to escape. Yet, when you find her, she has no weapons, armour or equipment of any kind. And when you get to the arena, it has no walls, being a platform suspended over a void.

>>531773546
>she doesn't get tortured or raped
Who the fuck gets raped?

>>531778729
B-but what if I don't want to be a slut?

>>531780668
Pasqal.

Men cannot be sluts.

>>531780396
>He is a weakling. What has he done to deserve that girl?
I convinced her, I didn't force her, meaning that he did enough to at least make her want it

Also he would go to hunt but he is currently forbidden from leaving camp
You have to persuade him to cheat, it's something that he doesn't want to do intially, he wants to earn the title
I'm sure he'll do it, I believe in the lad.

> by cheating on his test for him
I didn't do that, I persuaded the girl to be supportive to motivate him to do it properly at the next attempt
What happens afterwards is on him

>>531781128
>uuhhhhm actually monogamy is cringe
Ok, go play a harem hentai game, nobody cares
It's you who is getting pissed other people have romantic standards and desires.

>>531778729

Schizo that does not want it here

>>531781785
You're talking to him btw

>>531781128
Some men cannot be sluts, but others manage is just fine.

>>531781540
I think it's rather odd you believe I am emotional when I am simply stating an objective fact that men cannot be sluts. A man having multiple partners is not a negative trait the way it is for a woman, the same way being a virgin is a negative for a man whereas it's a virtue for a woman. This is the simple reality.

>>531776167
Not to be one of those
>SHE'S LITERALLY 17.9999 YEARS OLD YOU SICK FUCK
freaks but 110 is barely an adult in elf years. I think the biggest issue however is the fact that she's clearly mentally handicapped because of her trauma. If you take her to Areelu's lab you see her secret desire is to be a normal child again. That said taking her on dangerous missions doesn't seem like such a good idea, but she clearly enjoys helping people out, if her demon-vaporizing Friendship rays weren't so powerful I'd just permabench her and leave her to attend people at an infirmary for the rest of the game.

>>531782180
>This is what manwhores actually believe

>>531782269
>Barely an adult
She's several decades into adulthood, this would be the equivalent of you trying to say a girl in her twenties is still too young for romance and sex. You ought to have had a method for working her through her mental issues and getting her back to her normal mental state at the end of her romance, that would've been quite satisfying. I actually really dislike that you leave Ember in her brain damaged state for the entire game and never try to heal or help her past it, even beyond romance or no romance.

>>531782531
>She's several decades into adulthood
You have to understand that elf physiology just ages longer and slower.

>>531782180
>This is the simple reality.
If the only moral standard you have is evolutionary darwinism, perhaps, but I've never met someone who holds this ideal even when inconvenient to him.
I'm willing to bet that when it's not so convenient to you, suddendly morality becomes more complex to you than animal reproduction mechanics.

If you do not hold this ideology, than this being "simple reality" is obviously incorrect considering monogamy has been considered a virtue in the west for something along the lines of 1600 years, and even before that to varying degrees.

>>531782531
As I said in my post, my biggest gripe is not her age, but her mental state, I don't think she's in a position to make a consensual choice when it comes to romance. And you kind of work through her trauma in her Good Ending where she funds an order of knights who help people out. That said, I would have enjoyed a romance with her if her trauma had manifested in a different way and she wasn't an overtly childish character.

Stop arguing with the Emberpedo he does this every once and a while. Im pretty sure its a Yrlietardfag

>>531775998
>ember is an adult
ruined

>>531782713
No, I'm talking the actual adulthood of Elves as given in Pathfinder itself. She's several decades into that, she's a full and complete adult by the rules of the setting. She just has regressed to a childlike state mentally due to the trauma she's suffered, trauma that the KC inexplicably does not care about or try to heal in any way.

>>531783052
Part of the romance could be healing her trauma though, that's a pretty classic trope that would've worked well and since you would only finalize the romance after she was healed I do not see how anyone could have issues with it.

>>531782439
>manwhore
feminist buzzword

>>531782439
No one cares if a man has been with many women. If anything it engenders respect or desire from other men and women if it's discovered, if they care at all. Meanwhile if a woman has multiple partners she is seen (rightfully) as a filthy whore who can't keep her legs closed. Conversely, if a woman is a virgin her value goes significantly up and it is considered a virtue, whereas if a man is still a virgin past his teenage years he is considered (rightfully) a failure as a man both socially and emotionally, since he has failed to successfully connect with and appeal to any woman and make himself desirable to them. This is the hard reality of the sexual marketplace, and trying to deny it is just cope and rationalization. This is also why people even in these threads obsess over female characters virginity or lack thereof and no one gives a single flying fuck about such things when it comes to male love interests whatsoever.

Are these the same demoralised people from before? Seems like it.

>>531783856
>Part of the romance could be healing her trauma though
You already work through her trauma in the game as is. You can push her to be more Lawful and stop her being so idealistic about redeeming everybody, you can enable her in the Good ending or you can make everything worse if you completely disregard her ideas.

As I said, I don't have an issue with the whole 'power of love healing her trauma' trope, what I have issue with, and why most people don't really think an Ember romance is necessary, is the fact that she's overtly childish in her entire characterization. Her trauma is the root cause of this, yes, but the way she's portrayed in game doesn't really open an avenue for romance.

Here Lies the Abyss is the reason I can't decide on a world state

I'm following a psyker blade dancer one but I just don't like it anymore

I'm not aware of any databases. Your best bet may actually be "THIS BUILD IS INSANE ????? DAMAGE IN ONE TURN?!" videos on youtube.

>>531789930
I saw one that needs a different home world
Shit sucks

>>531789930
Take those videos with a grain of salt however, they often require a piece of gear that's not available until 80% to the game.

1) We're talking about Retard Trader here, you do not need to minmax or optimize at all
2) You're playing a role. Pick what fits your character. Anon is right, just pick what looks cool or useful.

So, it just dawned upon me that Cassia is a living lie detector. Will she always bring hints and shit about when dealing with people like Idira, then? Do they have special dialog among each other if you bring both of them and they have something to say about whoever you're dealing with?

>>531797338
Yeah.

>>531797079
Well, I didn't want to, which is why I never asked
Now I did and that was the answer. Odd.
>>531797338
Sometimes she will detect a lie clearly, other times she will say something like "he's afraid" or anguished, or whatever so it will be unclear if he's lying or not

>>531797338
She has hints for liars and weirdos, yes.
They do notdialogue between them for that as far as I can remember

>>531797338
>Will she always bring hints and shit about when dealing with people like Idira, then?
Yeah
>Do they have special dialog among each other
No they don't usually talk to each other. Idira prefers bothering Argenta

>>531796925
I can say, with utmost honestly after suffering through a no-future-in-sight rock bottom time of my life, it gets better.

>It's called that because it's located behind the statue of our holiest Emperor. I've known folks who called it something else, on account of it being behind the statue.

Uhh...will Cassia still want to romance me given I've killed all her friends and kidnapped her to be my navigator?

>>531800370
Why do you want to romance someone of who you've killed the family and kidnapped?

>>531801071
That's kind of my thing honestly

>>531800370
I think it's still possible but do try to be nice to her from now on.

Is through the ashes worth a playthrough?
i never saw the point of these side campaigns but they add shit to the main one

>>531801317
Thanks, that's very helpful

>>531801373
Were you the one who also complained about this in the dead /dag/

>>531801521
No. I left that thread because it was just the misogynistic fag and the Solavellan autist spamming the thread.

>>531775996
a dalish elf is speaking. listen and LEARN.

>>531801071
Power dynamics

>>531801491
I don't get this mentality. You like WotR? It's more of the same, it's related to the events that occur, it gives different perspective, and yes it even ties in with the main quest.
But even just on its own, if you like the mechanics and gameplay of WotR then it's more of this. It's also more about conserving resources, there's a group that you can try to keep alive through the whole thing, and it's not as easy as it seems as someone's condition might worsen but you have limited medicine, etc.
I found it to be a lot of fun, but it's low level and some people might not like that. To me it makes every little advantage count, and early on I actually ended up being thankful for the Disrupt Undead cantrip of all things.
There's also a little more mindfulness to encounters, like approaching with your face will be costly but by being careful or even a few times using some environmental things, things go better. Not in all cases, but there's a few of these.

>>531802295
because adding a side campaign is a really weird path
very few games approached dlc this way

>>531802295
>I don't get this mentality. You like WotR? It's more of the same
It kind of isn't
When it comes to DLC most people want it to involve the characters from the main questline

>>531788993
furries ew

>>531802760
I wish more would.

>>531803031
Not my fault people have shit taste I guess, Through the Ashes and Varnhold's Lot were both kino of the highest degree.

>I don't play WotR because it doesn't involve The Baron.
>I mean whats the point?

>>531803478
Yeah that's totally the same bro

>>531802295
I don't like WotR at all, would I enjoy Through the Ashes?

I wish more games tried a romance like Camellia's. It was so fucked up and so fun. For a moment, I think I understood girls with those "dark romance" novels they love so much.

>>531803656
Depends what you don't like about WotR I guess?
Through the Ashes goes from level 1 to about 6, and you'll probably finish Lord of Nothing at level 12, so if you just don't like how long WotR or high levels/mythic, maybe you would?

Is the fucking scourge storybook even in cumrag bugged? I've passed every skill check each time, including the hidden willpower and carouse check, and sweet perdition doesn't appear.

>>531804248
Try asking in >>>/vg/rtg/
>>531685620

>>531802295
I didn't like through the ashes but I wish people hadn't been so harsh on it. These standalone dlc campaigns are a lot more interesting than just "add a new companion, new class and we're done" dlcs"
Most people don't even finish these games but they'll still buy dlc that just adds more bloat to the campaign they're never gonna finish.

Do you have mostly CRPGs in your most played?

>>531804248
Apparently you need to use the Weapon skill check to kill the guy

i keep meaning to finish wotr as an angel but i keep getting side-tracked

Man, if fucking everyone goes insane every time I do a little warp jump, it's a wonder we can replace the crew at all.

>>531806082
your ship is actually fucking huge, right?
and it's 40k, people die all the time

>>531784395
You are wrong. Women do care if a man has been with many women. There are women who want perfect first-partner monogamous relationships with men. In fact, almost all of them start out that way until they get mindfucked by society.

The reason it seems like nobody "cares" about male virginity in romantic fantasy, however, is because women who want pure virginal relationships have gotten to enjoy it everywhere guaranteed without betrayal. Meanwhile, men have been conditioned by centuries, even millennia of writing to fear and expect awful things to happen to nice women, or for women to be used against men to "teach them a lesson" (how dare they want this pure thing that every human being dreams of?). Every piece of fiction is obsessed with the despoiling of women or turning them against men, in any case putting anxiety in the hearts of men.
As a result, every time a man engages with a piece of fiction, and it features a girl they like for whatever reason, they go "oh great what the fuck's going to happen to her/wrong with her".
Especially reactive men cling to character virginity because it's an easy calling card for "am I being fucked with," meanwhile women don't have to worry about that shit, thus it seems like nobody cares about male virginity

Here's your online media literacy certification, it's on the house.

>>531806082
Your peasants were born to die on that ship

>>531806208
It's 1.6km long. It's not THAT big, I think.
>>531806331
Sure, but it still takes 14 years for a baby to grow into a replaceable body.

>>531806028
I passed that one first with no drop. I passed all the checks when the scourge appeared on the streets (before the storybook event), then I passed Awareness, Toughness, Coercion, Willpower Carouse, and Weapon Skill. got nothing

>>531806331
yes, god, we get it, they couldn't beat you over the head with this kind of thing enough in the game.
I will say that as RT was my first exposure to 40k, it (as well as the fans, fair or not it does have an impact) I would be completely fine never engaging with the setting again. I "get" the appeal but it's so tedious.

>>531806561
That does seem bugged :/ Maybe toybox will reveal what isn't being triggered, particularly these options

>>531806551
You recruit (press-gang) new basic workers from the planets you control, that's the "People" resource
Plus you don't lose that many people per jump, it's usually small isolated incidents and usually it's fine

>>531806795
I mean out of all the unreasonable insane shit in 40k a ship that big with tech that can't be automated needing to have a civilian population to man it isn't that crazy

>>531806891
I did try the dialogue preview, but its surprisingly limited. There's some counter on the non-check options that progress the event, but only (Repeats) on the skill checks themselves. I'm also assuming that the flavor text at the end alludes to whether or now sweet perdition was awarded, but if so, I gotta believe its bugged

>>531806795
>I "get" the appeal but it's so tedious.
It only works when you stop thinking about it.
I played 40K first and Warhammer Fantasy second, and I prefer the second one. The truth is, after the eight "the Guardsmen fought Chaos in the battle of kaurava primaris secundis 52, it was a complete imperial victory, TEN TRILLION MILLION GUARDSMEN DIED" it gets a little hard to take seriously.

>>531806551
It's quite puny actually

>>531807301
that's because you're not supposed to take it seriously. its not a fictional account of a real-world future, its cranked to 11 parody and satire

>>531807301
It's only the most annoying autists in the fanbase who take it completely seriously.

>>531807198
That definitely is the "get sweet perdition" ending
Looks like you got owlkeked

>>531807574
>>531807634
See everyone *says* that, but the setting clearly does take itself seriously judging by the tone of the books and the videogames

>>531807819
RT pretty heavily leans into how ridiculous the setting is, though.

>>531807713
FUCK

>>531807819
if the setting didn't take itself seriously it would just turn into slapstick. the media in its entirety just plays on the worst parts of the human condition and compiles it all into various stories

I like how you can straight up drink raw fucking sewage in front of an audience in the start of Kibbelah's companion quest. I always make my trader do it, and it's funny every time.

>>531807819
It varies. The codices generally aim for a balance of an intrinsically silly setting which still takes itself somewhat seriously. The Black Library slop-novels tend to take it very seriously indeed, as if they're writing serious literature.

>>531808457
It's awesome. I love that whole walk through the lower decks.

>>531809227
of all things in a game, it was a walk through my servant's quarters that made me feel sad

>>531808349
Isn't it slapstick? You've got Yrliet's quest where after passing countless skill checks you finally manage to rescue some of her Craftworld's people. Things are on the verge of having a good outcome and then for some reason the RT leaves the Aeldari on the lower decks by themselves plus forgot to use the massive radio system to say something like "do not the Eldar on board" so they all get killed.
Sometimes it feels like events happen only so the setting can hammer it in how grim and dark everything is. After the 20th time it just makes you roll your eyes.

>>531809445
That eldar quest is particularly dumb. I think it was a last minute change.
There's a flag CrudarachAeldariSaved that normally never unlocks, but if you set it by hand to 2 then it unlocks a voice-acted sequence where Yrliet relaxes and is more forthcoming.

>>531809445
That must have been written by someone unfamiliar with the setting, it just made no sense. The lower decks are their own thing, you don't put guests there. They're a working deck.

>>531810129
I like Yrliet but her whole quest sure is a mess

I'm so confused. People say DW rogue needs dexterity but then guides say to max my cunning... which is it?

>>531809227
Yeah, it's really nice. I liked chilling out with the lower-deckers. Malformed, broke bums as they are, they're still part of the crew after all.
Except those mutants at the pestilence pit. Fuck those guys.

>>531809326
Yeah...
I always fired that enforcer extorting the workers before the soup pit.
Even I should be the mean big bad dogmatic trader, I always end up feeling bad about the little videogame people on my screen in every game I play

>>531811380
I liked how they were pretty upbeat even in their awful living conditions

>>531810129
>>531810509
It was a mess and left a bad taste in my mouth, but it follows a pattern of taking you by the nose and giving you hints of a possible 'okay' ending only to take it all away in true "this is 40K and good things never happen EVER" fashion which, to me personally, gets tiring.

>>531811269
You need however much dex for items and skills and the rest goes into cunning

>>531809445
A better way would have been a hidden time limit where you have to get them back to Janus within a certain number of warp jumps. If you're quick they live, but otherwise they get lynched.

I wanna smooch her.

Dargonus or Kiava Gamma after Janus, bros?

>>531811852
I like to go Kiava Gamma first so I can make a triumphant entry to the capital, having saved the other planets

>>531811563
It's also funny how all your party buddies get to enter the temple the normal and sane way while (You) specifically have to jump an active ventilation shaft.

>>531811852
>>531811962
We now have a Rogue Trader general in case you weren't aware

>>531811852
Shake it up and go Veeaboo IV instead

>>531812476
Sneed.

I fucking hate having to go to each planet to manage the colony

>>531813015
You can do it using a button on the side of the screen when on the galaxy map screen
On the right there are some buttons and one of them is colony management.
I think you have to go in person occasionally for some things but mostly you can manage them from the map

>>531813015
You know you can farm insight or at least economize it and have a path from your capital to each?

>>531813015
You don't, though. There's a planets screen in the voidship map, iirc. You can check the planets from there.

>>531813190

over the past year idira has gotten prettier the more I see her. and argenta uglier.

>>531808457 (me)
Speaking of her companion quest, I also have a question.
Both Kibbelah and the Viszier claim to use the Emperor's Tarot to find out who to kill, right?
My Trader is a Psyker, and also noticed that fact when being welcomed in the Bloodspun Web.
Since the Tarot is usable only to Psykers or latent ones like the Viszier and apparently Kibbelah herself, does that mean there's a chance I can use the Tarot myself?

huh an actual difficult fight on hard

That sounds like something more appropriate for weg. While fun and the tears from npcs would be fun to see, it is not necesssary for a crpg I think

>>531771385 (OP)
>Should games have different paths/reactivity depening on your stats?
They already do, it's called skill checks.
I wish they had more reactivity and paths depending on origin and stuff. I think the game with the most reactivity I've ever played was WoTR.

>>531816363
>I think the game with the most reactivity I've ever played was WoTR.
if you want reactivity you should for sure play Disco Elysium

>>531777078
You say this as if Owlturds aren't known for being tarrible managers who can't into planning. Even if it was gw who vetoed the romance it is owlshart's fault for not clearing it up with them BEFORE they wasted their time on it and then decided to not do any other content for the character, at this point seemingly out of spite

>>531828659
It's probably a gw directive

How do I build Yrliet or snipers fpr that matter? I feel like she's shit at dealing damage when compared to someone like Kibbelah, Jimmy or Argenta.

>>531828659
TO BE FAIR...
The Night Lords ARE still stealthy guerilla marines. They just don't have the CIA spook levels of misinformation and MK Ultra brainwashing shit the Alpha Legion pulls off.

>>531829443
Maximise BS and Perception
I use Assassin, and the Killing Edge ability that deals a percentage of the target's missing wounds.
Combined with perfect spot, she can open with deadeye shot to take off a chunk of damage, use Killing Edge to rekt him some more, then go Elusive to lose aggro, and close her turn with In My Sights to get a guaranteed hit at the start of her next turn.

Alright, the Necromancer's Tale Start reminds me strongly of Life and Sufferring of Sir Brante. Good shit

>>531811813

>>531829443
She can deal big single shot numbers, but yeah, snipers are kinda shit in this game. They will never be as good as psykers or burst fire gunners. It all comes back to operative being the weakest calss. They need to overhaul it I think

>>531829443
>>531830326
snipers are good early act 1-2 but doesn't scale like Melee,Psykers or Burst Soldiers

I know they said the were replacing some classes in solasta 2, but are they keeping Timekeeper? It was a genuinely interesting and fun warlock pact.

>>531818206
I care, solasta was fun.

Im still gonna post here. He has to suck it up!

>>531831001
I could never get over the soulless sloppa interface. I tried, I did, but man, it's just so bad

>>531829647
>>531830326
I don't know if I'm building her wrong or what but she barely deals 100 damage. I'm playing on Unfair and mid chapter 2 that's not a lot of damage. On that note I don't know if they've buffed the difficulty and enemies' stats or what but fights are, while not difficult, actually somewhat challenging now.

I wonder if these choices will influence anything but your starting stats

>>531830950
I don't think they've discussed warlocks much yet. We probably won't have word on what classes are carrying over for awhile. They're in the middle of moving the game to the new dnd rules so it'll take some time for them to figure out what subclasses are a good fit for the new system.
>>531831518
The UI is pretty bland yeah, looks too "clean" and minimalist. I hope they change 2's UI before release. Its fun if you can get past that though.
Kingmaker is still the king of fantasy crpg UI for me.

Protip: Having Cassia by your side at your ascension ceremony at the end of act 2 gives you 50 (fifty) Navigator's Insight

Calcazar, while based, was poorly integrated into the RT plot.
Him taking over the plot in the second half led to Kunrad and the other chaoticians being totally sidelined, and we missed out on what could have been a story of discovering your family was full of heretics at the top level, and redeeming your name, while contending with other traders.
Working for Calcazar, and gradually uncovering his scheme, would have worked better in a Dark Heresy game.

>>531835537
Originally Calcazar had Theodora assassinated, Argenta had nothing to do with it

>>531835537
>led to Kunrad and the other chaoticians being totally sidelined
as they should be

>>531823909
You really should have at least two npcs for each skill

Calzone is very broad-minded

>>531835969
He's literally the first companion and your second in command. Compare that to Heinrix whose only purpose is to introduce you to Calcazar.

>>531835881
Could work. Jimmy gets to discover that Calcazar doesn't even tell him that there are other agents on the very same ship

>>531835537
Nah, that's the point and it fits here explicitly and it's nice. It's Rogue Trader, it being all about Xenos is good. Chaos are npcs here, irrelevant introductory villains, merely reacting to a situation actual antagonists are creating, a red herring, this same role Orks serve in DoW 1&2 and SM1. There should be even more Xenos in game. Neither Kunrad nor Uralon need more spotlight, they had it enough because they are minor side villains here. Everything in game is a result of Theodora and Xavier dealing with Xenos and their stuff. We could use more Necron influence tho.

In Dark Heresy it can be the other way around

>>531836149
Idira - yes.
Yrlet would get herself killed the second she opened her mouth.
Not sure about Marazahi. He has nothing to offer Calcazar, and I can't imagine him having any patience for a drukek's antiques otherwise

Eldar hate psykers, what about blanks though? Would they be more partial to blanks or psykers?

Idria activities my "rape racistly" instincts.

>>531837329
Blanks would be like extra ick-factor mon'keigh
The way humans feel about blanks is how eldar feel about mon'keigh, because of the lack of psychic presence
Their attitude to psykers varies. Farseers are psykers, but in general craftworld eldar are very cautious about using psychic powers.
Dark Eldar are terrified of psykers of any kind.

>>531837142
Unironically. Frolicking in a psychic mind-garden is the sort of things psykers would do.

If I were the rogue trader I would just call tons of people niggers since no one would know what it means.

>>531837942
You would attract the attention of the inquisition due to your knowledge of the language of Ancient Earth
They would demand you give them access to the hidden trove of ancient wisdom from which you learned the word "nigger", no known only to the wise

Why didn't the emperor just smite Calcazar?

Shotgun/flamer psyker, shield+melee psyker, or pew pew guns psyker?

You come upon a drifting ship in the vastness of space, holding odd trinkets and scared civilians do you:
>burn the loot because a xeno jizzed on it once and shoot the civilians because they saw it happen
>take the loot and conscript the civilians, fuck the emperor we making money boi
>skin the civilians, staple their skin to the hull of the ship in a smiley face pattern, and blow the whole thing up with an irreplaceable relic you have laying around just for shits and giggles
I'm out here doing space pirate empire shit for fun and profit, Iconoclast basically fits any playthrough that's not Chaotic Retard or Lawful Good.

I hope owlcat doesn't go all in on becoming a 40k studio. RT is fun but the setting just isn't for me.

Even all the servo skulls get little iron arms if they're inside the aoe.

I heard it was actually difficult to hit max conviction rank in RT. Is that still the case, or have the DLCs given enough of a buffer that you're not forced to rigidly stick to one track?

>>531838507
am i missing something? how does a death save once per combat make you immortal?

>>531843637
It's easier now

Is there even any reason why I shouldn't just toybox my chosen conviction at the start?

>>531843637
Because retards kept whining reaching max conviction is piss easy now. You fart and you get 20 alingment points now. Calling it "conviction" is an overstatement

Is there even any reason why I shouldn't just toybox my chosen ending at the start?

Is there any reason I shouldn't just toy my box?

>>531844050
Alignment should've been a slider like the light/dark side shit in kotor. Have everyone start at a neutral score of 0 (maybe let the character background influence it), and throw in a range of decisions with variable impacts ranging from significant (+/-4) to minor (+/-1). Maybe have a neutral choice for cucks, but it's hard to imagine neutral choices in 40k where inaction itself is typically heretical.

>>531845026
He has no need to - he seduces all the keyholders to open locks for him. A sign of a true master

>>531845285
>inaction
There are plenty of neutral choices in the game. It does not mean inaction. It means you do something without going into religious extasy, or giving everyone free blowjobs in the process

>>531834392
It's fun in the sense that your buffbot can do everything in a single turn so you can safely ignore them and use something else

>>531843637
It used to be you had to go all out to the point of retardation.
They patched it so there are more points. If you take a dump without wiping your ass your get heretic points for eg. So you can be more free with your choices

If a fight keeps going for a while, the stacking bonuses can get a bit silly.

So the Dogmachud choice for Amarnant is basically the project was a failure and scrap it? What's the Heretical and Iconoclast one?

>>531849659
Iconoclast turns Pasqal into a hive mind lunatic

It wasn't a failure. He just comes to a conclusion that some knowledge is better off forgotten because humanity can not be trusted with it

Idira is literally correct though.

Such an elegant serenade

>>531857714
WTF is this real?

Actually not sure what to do here.
Like, sure, she is a traitor. The sensible thing would be to kill her. But Argenta is a traitor too. From what I hear, Theodora might have been a bit of a traitor from time to time.
And I'm not really in a mood for punishment and executions after just getting out of the Dark City. At the very least I need a bath.
Anyway, aren't xenos known to be treacherous by nature? Maybe I should allow her ONE treachery as a freebie, it's not like she could help herself.
I wish the game let me save between entering the gate and dealing with all these decisions.

>>531859508
...are you for real?

>>531858869
Is there a reason all the high-level champions of Chaos are space marines? Are humans more susceptible to Chaos, or are they less susceptible and everyone else just disintegrates on contact?

>>531860356
I like the apology because absolutely everyone hates it

>>531860356
Make her apologise. She seethes (more than the whipping), the humans seethe, it's beautiful. And it doesn't break her romance

>>531860356
>Maybe I should allow her ONE treachery as a freebie,
I think every xenos pet should be allowed a treachery once in a while, as a treat
Like giving your dog cheese

>>531860356
You already fucked up for letting her leave janus

>>531860356
Just tell them to fuck off
Who the hell do they think they are bothering you with this before you've even had a bath

>>531860808
>>531860949
You're right, I did that.
>>531861223
Look, even two-bit pirate captains employ xenos these days. I'd be the laughingstock of the Koronus Expanse if I didn't have ANY enemies of humanity in my retinue, and I already killed Marzipan.

>>531860356
>But Argenta is a traitor too
Are you retarded? I don't remember her """"""""""""""""""""""treason""""""""""""""""""" landing you in a cumrag. It's like saying "Well, why should this serial killer go to jail for life if that other guy got caught jaywalking and got away scott free?"

>>531861705
Honest to God the whole capture bit is much better and actually makes sense if she's not involved. I just don't know why they involved her in that in such half ass way.

>>531859508
Of course it is, don't you see the filename?

>>531860356
I always forgive her for two reasons
1. Wife
2. To make sure everyone in the ship knows that my word is law, I get to do whatever I want, and no one but the GOD EMPEROR (pbuh) can demand anything from me

Can we all admit that Yrliet did nothing wrong and she's also very pretty and cool?

How many posts there was just him bumping it to keep it alive so that he could keep spamming links to you do you think?

Calligos Winterscale's Eldar companion is a Farseer, not an Outcast, she holds hands with him frequently, and she has bigger tits than Yrliet
Calligos Winterscale's sister of battle is a canoness

Calligos Winterscale doesn't have an Inquisitor snooping around everywhere
Calligos Winterscale's ship is bigger than yours

I was keeping an eye out for that and everytime the thread hit page 9 some random bullshit post about something trivial from the game would pop out. It was definitely that weirdo keeping it alive.

>Is there a reason all the high-level champions of Chaos are space marines
Space Marines are literally walking tanks packed full of gene fuckery, extra organs, and a strong warrior culture to be the best at murdering things. Now add in a splash of magic chaos steroids, and you get jacked supersoldiers with a thirst for heresy that don't have to bother with any veil bullshit to exist in realspace. Then you have to remember that the traitor legions fell during the horus heresy (maybe a few exceptions?). Chaos space marine champions have likely been fighting and gaining favor within the warp for 10,000 years (depending on warp time fuckery). Some of these fuckers literally fought on the same battlefields as big E himself.
>Are humans more susceptible to Chaos, or are they less susceptible and everyone else just disintegrates on contact?
Well you have the trope about the darkness in men's hearts and whatnot, but there's usually some reason why other factions don't fare too well in service of Chaos.
>Knife ears
Slaanesh will eat their souls ever since they partied too hard

>>531864976
She didn't trust him. Which is why she asked you for a backup. It's a sidequest gone wrong. It's like calling Argenta a traitor if there was an extensive follow up to her quest where you are captured by those Chaos Cultists on this snow planet.

If I get turned into a skinsuit, does that mean I can touch qt deldar titties when they wear me? Might be worth it desu

the 5th chaos god GW needs to sell expensive plastic to manchildren and these chuds only care about SM in 40K, even when 40K is supposed to be a galaxy spanning sci-fi setting with millions of different alien races, everything boils down to space marine and big burly straight men with daddy issues in the end because its the only thing that sells

>>531865469

>>531864615
She murdered Darth Vader with the express purpose of keeping the details of his treachery hidden, so that she could then lure the Rogue Trader into a trap set by the Drukhari.
>>531865223
If she knew it was a trap, that means she deliberately kept this information from you so that you would walk into the trap.
If she didn't know it was a trap, that means she genuinely trusted Marazhai not to lure her into a trap, which I would argue is even worse.

>>531866286
And that it's not a Man of Iron.

>>531866464
Possibility three: she thought Marazhai would never suspect that she'd arrive with Elantach instead of alone, and you'd beat the shit out of him like every other time

>/rtg/ died
>/crpgg/ is still flooded with boring 40slop
Oh well, it was a valiant effort.

>>531866704
That's possibility one.

>>531863408
Oh hell no. Owlkek just likes to blow smoke up the players ass to make you feel super special.

>>531863565
Both chaos orks and chaos tau were mentioned and even featured in a game or book but GW has a strict no fun allowed policy. CSMs also have a lot of more recently fallen warbands and newbloods but sure, you're right. There's some ancient motherfuckers around.

>>531866464
No, all wrong

She murdered Grima because he was a traitor and she wanted to help you
She didn't know about any trap or whatever. She wasn't told to take you with her. Marazhai merely told her that she can find her Crude Rock hints over there and then fucked off. She knew to be wary of anything related to deldar, but had to check out location just in case, so she asked for help from you, a friendly monkey with a space ship who blasts his way through every obstacle without any issue.
Owlcat even made Marazhai openly say that Yrilet wasn't a traitor to dispel all confusion among playerbase. She literally, objectively isn't a traitor, at all, in any way whatsoever. It's a meme

Yrliet is literally unjustly slandered in those threads

>>531868786
not this shit again

>>531868953
She is a fictional character with a simple story which somehow filters people to the point that they seethe endlessly about her made up acts in this general constantly

What? As far all the romance bullshit goes I actually liked her story. Very believable.

>>531868786
She's a traitor because she didn't tell you all the details of the errand, thus luring you into the trap. It's a lie of omission.

>>531867036
But that is true even before the game was ever made. Warrants of Trade were explicitly signed by the God-Emperor himself saying you can do whatever. You are indeed one of the few people an Inquisitor can't truly boss around easily, and with the Koronus Expanse being Rogue Trader territory, technically you should have more authority there than Calcazar

Did anyone get the Pulura's Falls puzzle by reading the books? I just did it again for the first time since my first playthrough, I got it then but just looked it up now.
It took a lot of mistakes and careful reading and still didn't really feel super satisfying. But not as bad as their tile puzzles which are truly awful.

Does the respec in RT allow me to change the initial stat allocations I made during character creation?

>>531872328
So you're just taking the piss then? Gotcha.

>>531872697
I'm not, that is PRECISELY what the Warrant is.
More recent Trader dynasties nowadays are approved by the High Lords, but the majority of them were sanctioned by the Emperor during the Great Crusade.

Just how much content am I losing out on if I reject and purge every xeno companion?

>>531874759
Some cringe, some retardation and a couple of funny interactions. 3-5 minutes maybe.

>>531874230
>I fucking love paladins!
>I fucking hate when paladins act like paladins!
What's this mental illness called?
he doesn't bitch at your iconokek ways. He couldn't care less in fact

>>531874759
Not much

>>531874759
mainly the act 3 shenanigans

>>531874759
a lot because they closely connected to story, just like their factions

>>531874230
He only bitches if you do retarded shit like not blowing up the daemon world, he only starts bitching if you radicalize him

>>531875149
Dogmatic in 40k is not 'typical' paladin behaviour
It is turbo lawtism with almost no good

Okay guys I've settled it.

Alistair is staying a warden and Hawke will just have to die so my elf HoF won't be cucked.

>>531875149
/v/tardation I believe

>>531874759
like 30% of the story, its the same if you go Heretical

This ability never worked for me. Character doesn't do anything when you click it

>>531874759
You lose 1 quest for each of them. Get a better story though

>>531875149
Doesn't he chew you out if you don't Exterminatus Rykad Minoris at the end of Act 1? Granted, it's entirely justifiable in this case, but still...[/Spoiler]

speaking of heinrix, when can you kick him out of the party? do you have to wait until act 3? thought he'd be willing to leave after kiava gamma but he wasn't.

>>531876790
Same but for the entire Archetype
Executor and ArchMili is just better on all occasions, event for Yirliet - she at the very least stuns as Executor.

>>531876790
assign prey, use wild hunt. what's the hang up?

>>531877643
If I had to guess the dumbass is using the melee one on distant targets

>>531877643
>>531877723
It's just doesn't work. Prey is assigned and within range, I'm using explicitly version for my equipped sniper rifle and character just doesn't do anything

Yrliet general

>look at me, look at me, I'm playing a role hurr de durr
literally what you sound like

>>531877158
>doesn't he chew you out for being a completely retarded nigger
Why yes, he does. If you want your dick constantly sucked then consider only ever taking kebab with you. Other companions have their own opinions and views that don't revolve around you

>>531878294
Nuh huh! Goblin Dispeller general(caster level 35).

Is there any reason to ever ally with the Eldar? Always more satisfying to kill them, and they don't value humans anyway.
>they attack your world in that ending
so fucking what?
i've killed so many of them i've lost count and they can't even breed enough to replace their losses

>>531878796
Only eldar I like are the harlequins. The others are fucking insufferable.

>>531878563
Is it from that Wizardry gacha?

>>531878796
>Is there any reason to ever ally with the Eldar?
None. They always act like upppity cunts, can't ever own up to their failures, and act like you owe them something. They are the women fo xenos. I slaughter every single one of them. Well, ok, I didn't kill the reatds on that planet but only because cassia didn't want me to for some reason

>>531878052
Unironically works for me

>>531879358
You can still kill them and purify the stone. I mean, look at my screenshot.

>>531878796
>Is there any reason to ever ally with the Eldar
The only Eldar I'd ally with is Nocturne, he is my bro

>>531879358
>They always act like upppity cunts, can't ever own up to their failures, and act like you owe them something
Is everyone here eldar?

>>531879461
Oh, that's good to know. Hope it doesn't brick her quest
>>531879563
Yes, everyone here is a woman

I WANT TO BE JOBLESS AND PLY CRPGS ALL DAY

>>531878459
I'm not that guy, I was just adding that he doesn't agree with everything you say...

>>531878796
They are White, humans are niggers so they have no value

>>531879545
Lol, no he isn't. Nigger is just using you and turns on you just as easily when it suits him

>>531880145
I'm jobless but all I play is rimworld

>>531880145
Well you're not. Go to sleep early, you got burgers to flip tomorrow.

>open crpgg
>its all owlslop

>>531878796
>i've killed so many of them i've lost count and they can't even breed enough to replace their losses
It's funny how retards think that eldar throwing themselves at you and then crawling away weakened with nothing to show for it is some sort of big win for them.

>>531880346
He only turns on you if you kill the Eldars on the maze planet.

>>531880145
as someone who did that
it was fun
just everything else in life sucked
>>531880606
Do you actually play or do you just bitch?

>>531880606
Get used to it. We run this general

>>531880689
people fail to understand the eldar were only on the top of the food chain when literally everyone else was fucked or evolving while they had old one nepotism

left to their own devices, they destroyed themselves

>>531878796
It's 40K. Nothing matters outside of the Imperium, every other faction is just there to job to them. So, no.

>>531879274
Yes.

>>531880694
Exactly. Maybe he should have tard wrangled that retard that was running his mouth better if he wanted him to survive. Or used his authority from stopping them their senseless and pointless mission fo finding tervantias. Or helped them to do it. He didn't. And now they are all dead. Good riddance, they will not be missed. Kind of a running theme, isn't it? Eldar never know when to shut the fuck up. Must have been something in crudarach's water

>>531881019
They ruled galaxy for 60 milion years after Old Ones died and the only ones who could destroy them were themselves

>>531881332
I'm glad that I could tell immediately, but at the same time I ain't

>>531881504
wow
how impressive
they ruled the galaxy when the necrons were asleep, the tyranids weren't aware yet, and everyone else was evolving

I've never played any of the NWN games, us it a bad idea to start with the NWN2 remaster?

>>531879563
EVERY FEMALE CHARACTER OWES ME SEX!!!

>>531881732
Yes

>>531881732
It's OK. Standard, basic adventure with some occasional interesting stuff.

>>531881693
They fought the Necrons for a while as I recall. Regardless it's 40K, all the factions aside from the Imperium are just there to appear threatening only to lose as whatever named protagonist GW is shilling in any given book or supplement defeats them "against all odds" for the fifty millionth time.

>>531881693
Yeah, nobody could challenge them, including older races and necrons were so afraid they had to hide

>>531880606
it's very tiring, isn't it?
>so post something else
yes and then 5 minutes later there's already been 30 posts about retarded 40slop

https://youtu.be/Xm7Q8ue9kBM&t=114

Is bladedancer good with pyro psyker. First time trying the dlcs

>>531882584
It's okay. I prefer Warrior into Executioner still.

>>531882935
Is it the free talents because most of warrior's are trash?

>>531882584
Pyro Pysker is best as Soldier-MT.

somtimes I feel like my life is a 5th crusade to close the worldwound

>>531883043
No it's because you gain 200% armor with Psyker's armor and like 20 DR in act 2 with just Cassia's buffs
That's why Cassia GS is meta - it means you're playing the most braindead MC build possible.

>>531883074
Well yeah, but he's talking about orchestrating flames psyker where you get to deal fire on top of your bleeding. Kind of overkill, honestly. Kibellah never needed it on unfair.

>>531773546
>>531773250
Do you people genuinely not like Argenta?
She’s been my favourite throughout the game from the moment she shot the chaos-worshiping nigger witch until where I’m now maybe 10 gameplay hours after leaving Camorrah.
Does she collapse shortly after this, or do you just dislike killing in the god emperors name, despite that being 2/3ds of the game on any route where she’s part of the team?

>>531883164
the knight commander (anon) undergoing a dangerous quest (going to the convenience store) for the noble purpose of finding a way to (get a budweiser) close the worldwound (sustain his alcoholism)

>>531882584
It’s the most actually broken combo in the game

>>531883358
>Do you people genuinely not like Argenta?
I like Argenta, but it's true that she has no content and is the worst developed character in the game with almost no content

>>531883274
meh

>>531883358
retard

>>531883904
>>531884139
Well she’s effectively the games Ajantis, a wandering paladin who fits into your party. The fact that she doesn’t need a lot of content to be a good believable character in the universe leaves space in the story for the more ”Donut steal” originals to tell their tales.
I think it’s good that they made some characters more normal (in the setting), like her. So you don’t get the PF:K syndrome where every party is super special, leaving no space for any to really stand out.

Okay so what you have to do is struggle miserably as a weak little bitch for 90% of the game and then you get the shitfucker +4 sword that’ll make your build come online. You’ll be slightly stronger than your unoptimized companions for two hours of play.

Is this going to be another Sosiel situation where any show of concern will be misconstrued as romantic interest?

>>531881693
its really not, 60 million years and they have nothing to show for it, its been 10k years since the fall barely anyone knows they exist, and even then theyre barely known during the golden age of humanity and the age of strife

>>531878052
are you threatened in melee range?

Oh hey, there is reference to the whole great beacon thing you can do as a heretic

>>531885321
Caught the anon that picked "I don't know how I could have gone on with my life without you Sosiel" instead of "Good job Sosiel, let's get to it" and somehow didn't imagine what the implication could be.

>>531885321
Dont pick the obvious flirt options

>>531885612
You will flip his romance flag by doing his quest and not beeing rude to him. Everyone knows this, and it’s fucking annoying.

>>531885926
>Everyone knows this,
lol

master tactician isn't fun to play

How was I supposed to know that the spooning option would make me gay?

>>531886238
it's meant for stacking heroic acts and spamming volley, which you will never use because it kills your own teammates

>rogue trader is $50
EURGH

>>531886238
I enjoy stealing all my team buffs to delete stuff with my staff

>>531885926
>You will flip his romance flag by doing his quest and not beeing rude to him.
Let me guess, you told him it'd be nice if you could get alone with him so he could paint you?

>lex imperialis has mixed reviews
its over
there won't be a season 2...

>>531883358
She's the most popular character in the game and has been since its release. People just dislike that she doesn't have a romance, and that her content ceases to exist after her initial introduction. In other words, they're angry that there's not more Argenta to enjoy.

How does it feel to know that you are living and playing Rogue Trader right now, the last great CRPG for the next 5+ years?

>>531886153
>>531887145
Is this thread raided by faggots or what is the point here?
I was just saying anon was right about his complaint regarding Soseils romance flag, which pretty much everyone who played the game agrees with.

Just because I dream about men does not mean I want to fuck them

>>531887516
I’m playing tainted grail right now

>>531865705
No, because the crusade didn't cleanse even 1% of the galaxy. It's main function was to reunite humanity, killing everything else was more of a long-term objective.
Remember that the Imperium only spans a couple million worlds at most and the galaxy has 400 billion stars.

>>531887615
Anon, you do know idiots like you have gotten regularly mocked on every single forum that discusses Pathfinder for the last four years? The exact two fucking moments in the game where people inadvertently triggered his romance because they picked an obvious flirt thinking it was just the "generic nice" option have been identified since forever.
>I was just saying anon was right
Don't samefag, only a complete and utter newfag could still be being this fucking stupid and out of the loop.

No, it's good at best, the horrendous combat and encounter design makes it impossible to qualify it as anything more.

>>531868786
She killed a person, without my permission, AGAIN, and then concealed this information from me.
She then told me to go to specific coordinates, without mentioning that she got the coordinates from Marazhai.
>b-but Darth Vader was the real traitor!
So? Yrliet had no legal right to judge him.
Suppose I was to execute the last of Cruadach's Farseers, as punishment for him leading the craftworld to its doom, and then never told Yrliet that I had done so. Would she thank me, upon later learning the truth, for not bothering her with the details?

>>531888075
What’s the point of making up this bizarre narrative?
Manipulating some 15 or people who occasionally browse this thread without posting?
The vast majority of players had the experience I and the other anon described. You pretending that wasn’t the case doesn’t change anything.
If you don’t want people complaining about having your precious homos pushed on them, go to Codex or literally any other site, because we all know complaining about this is a bannable offense outside of 4chinnz.

A rogue trader should be a centrist right

>>531889069

>>531887516
I didn't like the setting, or the combat. That immediately tanks it pretty hard for me, down to 5/10 maybe, but if I try to judge by setting those aside, I still only think it's an 8/10 or so.

If it ends up being "the best in 5+ years", that's very depressing.

>>531876790
You need to click an enemy after clicking the ability.
Omnissiah knows why, since it's just going to target all applicable creatures anyway.

>>531889069
>Anon tells a guy he knows is a gay romance option "You should paint me like one of your french guys, alone in my tent" and "If something happened to you, I don't know how I could go on with life..." and thinks he now gets to be the champion of heterosexuality and a crusader for christian values.

>>531887712
How is it a better rpg than RT? srs question

>>531889069
I'm with that other anon, you have to be pretty flirty with Sosiel for there to be any interest from him.

>>531887516
Well we have DH confirmed, and hopefully they do fully voiced in a good way, and my friends who refuse to read won’t bounce of it like they did with the PF games.
I’m hopeful, and will keep buying anything Owlcat releases 6 months after release (because at launch, their games have so far been too buggy to be enjoyable)

The only time I got a male character forced on me was with Kaidan or Gale. Gale's was really funny because he did it to everyone before they patched it.

>my friends who refuse to read
The solution is for them to not play CRPGs, not for CRPGs to become more retarded.

>>531889878
Gale was a legit case and it was hilarious to see everyone reacting to him becoming a creep that just won't take no for an answer.

Also I saw complaints about Kaidan in ME3 but I've never once gotten him to make the slightest advance on me.

>>531889918
also
>nice gatekeeping, asshole
Yes.

>>531890081
>Wanna see a magic trick?
Kaidan for femshep back in me1. I assume Ashley was the same. Thrown onto you.

>>531890081
Kaidan happened to people who didn't have any other romance activated yet, if you got him the gift and were simply picking the Paragon options in his dialogue, it would activate his romance and the players had no idea it happened until suddenly the next scene with him, you're lovers. Didn't go over well, obviously.

>>531890276
Ah, nevermind I never played femshep in 1.
Also the first time I played ME1 I never realized where Ashely was standing in the ship so I didn't talk to her a single time LMAO. Needless to say by the time the bomb choice arrived I was wondering why that was even a question between the squadmate and the random cohort with minimal dialogue we had picked up at some point. By the next time I was aiming to romance her to compare with Liara so I wouldn't know how forced it was.

>SoLiTaiRes cAn KilL CUsTODeS

>>531890497
I've also never arrived to ME3 without having already locked into a romance so I guess it makes sense I never saw that either.

>>531889658
Well, as a counter point, almost nobody actually knows anyone who is a faggot, because they barely exist irl. As such nobody considers that a male npc could be hitting on your PC, because they have no idea what that could even sound like.
Secondly there isn’t a reason for them to believe there should be one in the game. Because most people are completely unfamiliar with Paizo beeing homofaggotland, or this particular scenarios author beeing notorious for intentionally putting it in her material to own the Chuds and turn normal people away from gaming.
I assume that has a lot to do with why people don’t really think much of whatever Soseil told them. Or their PC told Soseil, just assuming he’s beeing a bit close, but just another bro, not some predator looking to ruin your asshole…

>>531890685
Bruh...

Do you know how long I've been waiting for this?
i'm going to name blood orgies after this sacrifice

In Pillars of Eternity, can I tell the companions to not use spells at all? When I got that elf dude he wasted all his spells on weak mobs. Or do I need to micromanage every single fight to prevent this?

>>531889693
I had friends tell me they won't play some games because they don't want to spend time reading abilities and figuring out mechanics, but refusing to play because it's not voiced enough is a bit wild to hear, It's not visual novel tier amount of reading.
At the same time, I've bounced off Disco Elysium before voiceover was added, so I guess i can imagine something like RT being a bit much.
Hmmm do ppl have different reading speeds? Surely everyone can read with different inner voices too?

All I remember is that in ME1 Liara basically throws herself at you. Only way to avoid is to just not talk to her.

You can argue that Morrigan from DAO comes onto you pretty hard but there's actually a story reason for that so I guess it can be excused.

>>531890685
Tbh I never considered using her in my first few runs of ME1. Garrus, Wrexham, Tali and Liara are just so much more interesting, and Liara just jumps on Male Shepherd as soon as she appears…

>>531891351
>even in her final moments she does not stoop to insults
Huh? Bitch has literally been insulting you nonstop throughout the entire game?

I can't take it bros
I wanna play dark heresy so bad

>>531891563
I definitely remember that. I remember being like "Bitch, didn't you say you were timid and socially awkward? How are you moving this fast to put the moves on me?".

>>531891351
man that's some psycho shit right there. Don't get me wrong they all deserve and NEED to die but that's too far.

I'm a Trisschad. Actually Witcher 3 was the only time I didn't go for the dark haired woman option because Yennefer was too insufferable even for me.

I don't know why people bitch about Sussiel when Lann is the real one with bullshit triggers. You legitimately just act like a nice person and he thinks you want to fuck

>>531891563
She still coos all over you every time you get visions and shit and asks to mind meld, so at least like 3 times, game is incredibly insistent on her involvement.

>>531891004
>almost nobody actually knows anyone who is a faggot, because they barely exist irl
lmao ok

>>531891472
I was told it was ”too much reading” by people who finished BG3.
So not explicitly ”because it wasn’t voiced” so much as them stumbling over having to also read all the combat abilities and talents, after already spending a large amount of the playtime reading the story.
I don’t think the people who struggle with this immerse themselves to the point of giving characters internal voices and stuff. Even though that absolutely is part of my enjoyment, it comes more from a childhood spent reading books than anything else.

>>531892276
Because the people bitching about triggers the most are mostly men and specially the kind that take offense to a gay guy being into them. Lann is straight and only gives those bullshit triggers to women.

Though it's definitely a fucking choice that Owlcat apparently made Lann threaten self-harm if you don't date him.

>>531892072
I mean if it was another Eldar I'd agree with you, but Yrilet really needs to be put in her place and this is one of the few times you can truly do that.

>>531892276
Because contrary to what reddit believes, the vast majority of people who play RPGs are men who play as male characters. So obviously they're not going to get all the Lann stuff.

>>531891472
Funny enough, I liked DE a bit better before the full voicing. I don't think every single thing needs to be voiced, and I think it was better with a lot of the intermediate text unvoiced.

>>531892276
it's because anons are incels/simps and act exactly like Lann irl

>>531891763
someone was on the money when they said she had way too many writers

calling you a monkey is not an insult
pointing out the insanity of the imperium is not an insult

Fortnight has so much dynamic and action packed lore, there should be a Fortnight crpg.

This city and entity is neat, I wonder if there's much more with the Swarm path but put it in spoiler if you are going to say something, I plan to someday do a swarm playthrough

>>531893389
you just have bug sex with it and make it into one of yours

>>531893035
Don't make me pull out all my Yrilet screenshots where she constantly talks down to you like you're a retard.

>>531893654
Don't bother, he'll just say it's endearing banter.

don't know how people can replay baldur's gate 3. it's considered one of the best rpgs of all time yet there's not much actual roleplaying so repeat playthroughs just feel bland.

The Djin blades suit Heretic Kibellah best. They match her corruption

>>531885895
>showing concern for someone is flirting
That's exactly my point.

>>531893858
Yeah, I don't get it either. I guess it's a bit like reading the same book over again, which I've done. But as far as rpgs and enjoying variation, I can really only see at MOST, 3: Good Tav, Durge, and Resist Durge.
Even there is so much overlap and you don't even have build autism to carry it.

FUCK, who do I drop? I don't understand how to play him, that's why those guys kicked my ass during that segment where I played as him.

>Clair Obscur
>solasta 2
The French are just light years ahead of everyone else when it comes to rpgs.

>>531892276
I picked Wenduag over him. and Lann is strictly hetro iirc?
And weak men springing ”I love you” out of nowhere on women who just treat them like normal people instead of looking down on them openly is, from what little I’ve listened to woman issues, a whole thing that happens relatively often IRL anyway?

Bye bye Idira. Hello Idira.

>>531891763
There's actually a far worse word for humans than "mon-keigh", known only to the Asuryani, that she refuses to utter out of courtesy.

>>531894282
Im certainly not buying Solasta 2 unless it releases to a chorus of thunderous applause like BG3 did, after what they did to the models in the first game. Springing troon-nouns and making everyone look like shit out of nowhere when 1.0 went live.
Fucking wierdos, the gameplay was pretty fun though, so if they just get better writers and can make their characters models look less disgusting 2 could maybe become a decent game…

>>531894280
Idira or Jae and pick Heinrix
Dogboy goes in with shotgun and kills everything, or never dies with shield while dog nibbles everything

there is no one in the setting who has tripped on chaos as much as i have at this point

>>531895051
The dog dealt like 8 damage, if it didn't miss like half the fucking time, on that combat test and Solmorne got dropped in 2 turns. The rest of the squad survived because, even though I was using Owlcat built characters at least I understood the mechanics. Idira is way to valuable for her buffs and Jae is pretty good at skill checks, plus it's another officer. Heinrix is kind of superfluous since I have the goth chick to eviscerate everything in melee already.

what did it say

>>531894280

Everyone has to go along with your insane shenanigans because you're a Rogue Trader. Even better, out of all the ones present in the expanse, you're the only one with your shit together, so they can't help but go along with your chaotic ass. By the end, you can still make a point that you're the lesser of two evils. It's funny as fuck.

I like the Black Priory twist, if it can be called that. I was sure the Priory would hold the heart of corruption and be the origin point of all the monsters and madness, instead it holds something they want and I'm racing them to get it. It's nice.
I want more games from those devs. Maybe even in the same universe.

She wants to have sex with you but is to afraid to make a move.

>>531901483
not everything is about sex anon

How come we can gave sex with jostica but not idira?

>>531902182
I was wondering the same the other day but then I decided even if I could sex Idira, I couldn't do Vigdis dirty like that in good conscience.

>>531900840
>allowed her to get possessed
How? By not letting her use the xeno device?

Is it worth it to let any follower in arcanum use a bow? Waromon has on accident shot one of the other guys and gotten insta murdered by them. Luckily I had saved both times just before it happened. I don't really want this to keep happening. I just recruited Raven and she's using a bow and unlike Waromon, she sucks at melee so I can't just give her a sword.

hahaha
jesus christ

Sebille or Lohse?

2nd time Idira has knocked herself out in the prologue. Thats NOT a good look.

>>531903169
sebille, loshe is a bro

>>531903317
you can get an item earlyish in act 1 to put on her that'll revive her the first time she dies in combat.

Sounds like a skill issue on your part

>>531903169
>kerillian or a slut that allows demons to live in her head

>>531903169
Sebille. I still miss that lanky girl to this day.

>>531902363
Heretical option if you are chaos pilled

>>531903169
elfjob was kino

>>531903169
I only did Sebille's romance but I found it pretty good. Awful character introduction aside.

>>531890916
>FOILED AGAIN! Guess it's time to run away like a bitch
What a pathetic character

>>531903169
Lohse > Sebille

>>531898698
plentiful in jarpigs but barren in carpigs

>>531903169
The GOAT run is playing Red Prince and romancing Sebille.

It's not about being called monkey. It's the constants
>wow, you're not as retarded as I thought, but still pretty retarded

>>531903895
