It's been around for 35 years and is popular with gamestore types globally, so there is a lot of supplemental material like books and comics. There is also a traditional tabletop RPG in the setting, with a lot of splat books that go into significant detail. I dont know fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Mar 8, 2018 |

Like I originally bought this game alongside my TT RPG group because we thought it looked cool to go kill a shitload of shrieking ratmen together, then it just turned out to be extremely good and one of the best co-op action games I've ever played.

The Tabletop RPG game also goes pretty in depth on lots of stuff. And there are other various novels and sites you can visit to learn more.

Agrajag posted:gotrek and felix MonsterEnvy posted:For a good starting place on books and the like the Gotrek and Felix books are pretty great. These are some of the aforementioned fun novels, focusing on the eponymous heroes Gotrek Gurnisson and Felix Jager as they get around the world. Gotrek is a slayer and doing the slayer life, trying to find his glorious death in battle and Felix, as repayment for Gotrek saving his life, swears an oath to record his journey all the way to his death, so that everyone'll know he's cleared his name and then some.  The main series are also named like Trollslayer, Skavenslayer, Daemonslayer and so on, you get a pretty good read of an angry dorf and his bud traveling the land and fighting all manner of monsters. The main recurring villain is a screw up, skaven Grey Seer named Thanquol as well, so you get a fair bit of this guy too "Though Thanquol thinks himself a tactical genius, a mighty sorcerer and a brave leader, Thanquol is, like all Skaven, a maniacal egotist and a complete coward who flees at the first sign of trouble. While it is true he has phenomenal sorcerous skill and great cunning, Thanquol prefers to leave the dirty work to his underlings: in particular his bodyguard, the ferocious Rat-Ogre he calls Boneripper. There have been thirteen Bonerippers, nearly all of which have been killed by Gotrek and Felix."

The setting still has problems but stuff is starting to get explained which is nice. My biggest problem with the setting is the scale it's a tad too big. (I just ignore the stupid renames.)

Minrad posted:controversial opinion for pubs: grimoires are optional Especially considering that unless you are shooting for Champion gear the rarity doesn't really matter. All it really does is get you some bonus xp, which is what, 60 extra XP on top of the 600 you get from quick play completion with four people? Who gives a poo poo about getting 140 power oranges

Bright wizard is the last character I want to lvl up to 12 to get all the characters above the noob levels and try them out. I've pushed my gear power level up to 220+s without doing champion games, been opening all the boxes on my lvl 30 dwarf for higher orange change for more mats. I think you could hit max power drops for items just playing all the characters to max level. Would prob take at least 3x times longer than playing champion difficulty though, one big downside.

Is there a bug on the dwarf ranger that causes him to be permanently invis to the enemies? I swear I just had a game where the first half was just about normal and then suddenly the enemies just ignored me for the rest of the round. I don't think it was related to my smoke grenade either because I remember being hit after using it.

If your really just shooting for exp, recruit would be the fastest, less horde/bullshit spawns to wipe a run, if you don't care about item power level at all. You can craft the highest power level you can drop and it increases as you craft more. I would say that the item boxes on champion would be worth it to go for the grims. Means less mats to make them into oranges. After level 15, I was basically always in full orange items. Wait for a blue and upgrade it to orange.

The main reason to go for grimoires is that the added challenge is fun if you think you can handle it.

Having an orange necklace( healing item trait/chance not to use potion/ heal 2 people with medkit/ natural bond elf passive) makes runs alot easier. Trinket for bomb trait and charm for buff potion trait help alot too. Playing as kruber I had the grenade not use trait proc 5-6 times in a row on a mission. We failed and wiped though.

I'm not a huge fan of the Pyromancer level 10 talents. The 100% heat dissipation with a grimoire is pretty darn good. But the 50% damage reduction while disable and 15% spell charge while under 35% health is just... bad.

Those grim talents stack with 2 grims? So the WHC gets 50% dmg boost and not just 25%?

The real way to power level is to kick open the lobby browser and slam into anything in progress. It won't work with elves, but there's a decent chance you'll pop in at the end of a level.

Mash left click and F until your keyboard and mouse explode. Dodge like a pro, right click blocking is for wimps. Max out damage and die the glorious death you've always wanted.

Is there some satire we are missing with the Warhammer Fantasy setting, like we all missed with 40K for the longest time? Far as I can tell, things are relatively cool in Warhammer Fantasy land, as opposed to 40K's "Everything and everyone is terrible and for the Emperor's sake can the Chaos Gods just come and put us all out of our misery already?"

Half the aristocracy is probably vampires or chaos cultists. The Skaven have burrowed under most major population centers and are ready to flood the earth. Chaos winds turned your peasant family into spawn. Otherwise things are good.

Unlucky7 posted:Is there some satire we are missing with the Warhammer Fantasy setting, like we all missed with 40K for the longest time? Fantasy had always been Tolkein extreme edition coupled with world history (until age of Sigmar which is p dumb) and 40k started out like a 2000AD setting filled to the brim with satire before mutating into a twelve year old's creative writing essay.

If you want to know more about Warhammer lore, or WH40k, the wikis that exist are just absurd. Who wrote this? Who did this, you'll ask yourself, as you read a single article for a couple days http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/The_End_Times http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Space_Marines

I'm using the sniper crossbow, but have people found a pleasant ranged weapon for the zealot? I haven’t used the zealot yet but if he can use the volley crossbow, just use that. It won’t one shot specials but it fires quickly and consistently enough to lock them down and kill them efficiently, and you still retain a close in gently caress you for junk like maulers, stormvermin, and leeches.

This game is real good! I have been deleting bosses with huntsman Kruber + repeater handgun. The only thing I don't like is when you or the host DCs and it just shits you out to the keep and you get nothing for your trouble. I'd like failed mission exp at least.
