When the mage blows themselves up if a witch hunter is in the party the mage should automatically be killed rather then downed.

I haven't played enough (or with goons) to get more than a few games in on Normal though. I'm sure on hard/nightmare/etc I'd be far more concerned about stealth. I was that guy in Payday too. gently caress your stealth shenanigans, I brought this gun for a reason!

The elf is just super into murdering rats. She's also not quite sure about what the deal is with the witch hunter and the bright wizard.

Also, the fact that the Dwarf actually refers to the humans as "manlings" like he should is a nice touch. I actually smiled when he chided the manlings for "not believing the rats were real".

Saltzpyre shouldnt have any problems with her and has no right or jurisdiction to keep her from her business. Unless Saltzpyre is a curmudgeonly fart that hates all magic. Which he is. But still.

One of the conversations you can have if Saltspyre isn't in the party has the Bright Wizard mention he isn't even involved in her trial, he just volunteered to escort her. He's actually a big softie.

Aren't witch hunters in fantasy basically like inquisitor in 40k in that each guy perscribes to certain levels of acceptable magic going from No gently caress magic -> Some magic is okay but dont go crazy -> gently caress it all use all the magics the chaos gods wouldnt hold back.

They're more of the Wizard Cops. A Witch Hunter's duties include checking the licenses on College trained mages and also hunting down rogue ones or dealing with Wizard Crime.

No. The Colleges of Magic are a formal part of the Empire and sanctioned Wizards are given free reign as long as they don't do stupid poo poo. The colleges also mostly police themselves, a rogue College wizard can expect other members of his College to come down on them like a sack of bricks if they start some poo poo up. Witch Hunters mostly deal with chaos cults, unsanctioned wizards and other unauthorized magical stuff.

Witch Hunters hunt down chaos worship and mutation, not wizards. Magic in Warhammer Fantasy isn't taboo or reviled the way psykers are in 40k.

Thats because a Witch Hunter has the authority to do anything to root out chaos and heresy. Anything. Burn down an entire village because there are rumors of a cult situated in it? No problems. Lynching every man, woman and child of a household because they saw the wrong thing? Yep. You don't gently caress with the witch hunters, they make the witch burnings look mild. Peak Warhammer distilled into one character.

Demiurge4 posted:Basically. If the Witch Hunter knows that 1 guy in a throng of 100 is guilty and the rest are innocent, he'll just kill the whole 100 and be satisfied he got the guilty one. Most of the witch hunters portrayed in the Warhammer fluff aren't actually like this and are generally principled dudes who actually care about protecting the peasantry because there's absolutely no point in "protecting" a village by killing everyone in it, it's like shooting a guy in the face to cure his cancer and Fantasy isn't like 40k where burning a planet to ashes means nothing because there's ten thousand more just like it. Killing a whole shitload of people for no reason is actually meaningful in Fantasy and witch hunters don't enjoy the nearly infinite authority that inquisitors do in 40k. Witch hunters are usually just huge hardliners who are utterly without mercy, so if they find your rear end doing something you shouldn't be they will torture and burn you to death without a thought. They're still going to go through the motions to at least attempt to establish innocence or guilt before doing so, though, so it's not going to be "Siegfried is casting magic on my cows!" "Well, guess I'd better burn his family to death." Kanos fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Oct 21, 2015 |

Assuming he (or she) can get someone to back them up. Hunters aren't given nearly the cart-blanch that 40k Inquisitors are, and have to make a case for why they need troops for a situation or be forced to settle for what mercs and thugs they can hire.

Aside from a dumb player every now and then, the community from random players has been pretty decent and helpful, as far as online shooters are concerned. But it's the internet so you never know. I rather have this nonsense happen before release rather than release day. You only get one shot at a good impression and this game deserves the chance at success.
