Bring back that fake leaker to say Abnett's actually working on Total War.

AnEdgelord posted:Why would you think that GW would waste one of their best writers on something as narratively thin as an RTS campaign? Far FAR more likely is that Abnett is writing for a huge narrative RPG in the style of The Witcher or old fashioned Bioware RPGs. If it is 40k TW, which I belive it is, then Dan Abnett probably isnt the only writer brought in and is probably there along with others to write and help out on the lore side of the campaign setting and involved characters. It's not saying his part in it is super big or overwhelming (he's working on it alongside Darktide, which also sounds like something a writer like that would be 'wasted on', so thats not much of an argument IMO) but that the project is. Its 40k TW

Randarkman posted:Here's the thing though, do you reckon å sequel to Space Marine, a very narrow and focused 3rd person action game, merits being named a much bigger project than Darktide (I'd say they are pretty similar), much less possibly the biggest video game project GW has worked on? Vermintide and TWWH2 have peak player counts that are very close, 70k and 80k, and vermintide is playable on consoles as well. So I'm not sure if a total war game merits being called a much bigger project. I think that quote is about Abnett working with a big AAA-studio to deliver a character driven narrative action rpg game, something like a 40k Mass Effect. EDIT: Having said all that, TWWH3 is currently the best selling game on steam. kanonvandekempen fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jan 21, 2022 |

As much as I'd like confirmation of a 40k Total War, a narrative RPG does make more sense to me.

I'm going to say that a Total War game with its range of locations, races, armies and characters is by definition a bigger, more ambitious project than any Vermintide or Darktide (which as I understand it is basically Left 4 Dead with differentiated roles/character archetypes) game regardless of its popularity. I could of course end up being wrong, but as of now I'm pretty sure they're in the preliminary phase of developing a 40k Total War game (and there are other reasons to think this is going to happen beyond what Dan Abnett was actually referring to).

Starcraft 1 was a long time ago but there's absolute no reason a RTS campaign has to skimp on the writing. Also the writing we do get in the TWWHs is usually solid gold, particularly the dialogue.

Has anyone found High Elves, Brettonians, Tomb Kings, or Vamprie Coast on the new map? Last video I saw, no one had seen them yet, and they now have a question marks on a generic shield instead of the insignias of AI factions you haven’t met yet during AI turns.

If they're gonna do it, part of Repanse's backstory is that she repelled a Chaos invasion so she'd probably make a good choice. I'm sure there'd be characters from the other races that would be similar.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Someone was saying that there are no Bwet, HE, DE, or VSea settlements on the map so I think chances are low. Its possible they are in an Imrik situation somewhere that there will be factions of those flavors but they are in a settlement that has a different faction's looks. I personally havent seen anything about TK, Bwet, HE, DE, or VSea but I have not watched that many streams. Zerkovich mentioned Dark Elves on his Wednesday stream, but I didn’t see them.

LL unlocks confirmed with Be'lakor being a custom battles unlock ala the Sarthoreal unlock. Maybe he'll get a FLC campaign later? Makes the leaks about the other LLs seem a lot more tangible.

Yeah, when they're just "here's a new LL to add to your roster" instead of their own fully developed factions with all the game mechanics that implies it makes a lot more sense.

That also states he is playable in the campaign as well. I am guessing he will be usable in his own campaign in Immortal Empires too.

"If you continue playing" sounds like he joins your Create A Demon campaign as a stack lord in the post game if you want to finish painting the map. I definitely expect any freebie unlocked LLs to be upgraded to campaigns by IE.

Yeah, it sounds like he joins the Chaos undivided faction once you finish the main objectives and start painting the map. Hoping he'll be his own LL start in IE, but he may end up in Red Duke/Toddy territory. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I wonder if his unique lore will make it into the game intact. Also, cementing his status as Chaos Starscream, I love how him joining your faction is a punishment from the Chaos Gods.

I mean, how wild an end game are we expecting? This is the lore of the days that lead to the end of the Old World entirely, no? And with rifts and everything else it seems clearly possible that they can move armies between different maps, which opens up A LOT of storytelling possibilities depending on what their priorities were.

Twigand Berries posted:What are the opponents in sea battle encounters? Oh yeah, are those gone now? There’s much less water on the map than there was on the previous games. I think ruined settlement treasure hunts are gone now too. I rechecked the official Miao Ying campaign video to confirm that she doesn’t get the option when she colonizes the Snake Gate. I guess I could see if it’s different in the build that streamers are playing, or if Great Bastion gates are a special case, but that sounds like work. Do “Ogres, milord!” events still happen, or does recruiting Ogre mercenaries work differently now? The other previous game thing I’m wondering about is if Kislev and/or Cathay can recruit Gotrek and Felix. It’s a minor thing, but the fact that it is gives me this weird impulse that someone has gotta ask it. Dr Christmas fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Jan 21, 2022 |

There are definitely sea icons for encounters but the only one I saw run over was one that didn’t give a battle. I haven’t seen the “ogres m’lord” but the Iron Dragon’s faction has a bonus to ogre mercenaries but that may be the outpost units as he also has a diplomatic bonus with ogres.

The stuff about him being the first daemon prince who was punished by the chaos gods for wanting more power is the whole basis of his motivation for the campaign.

So, with the minor settlement rework, what happens when you build walls in a minor settlement now? Does it change it to a new walled map, or...?
