I thought that it was weird that everyone thought I should be upset with Yrliet - including her - and didn't get how she'd 'betrayed' us until long after I'd forgiven her when she sat me down and explained it so I could finally go "Oh that's not actually that bad".

Dandywalken posted:Lol I must have missed it, wtf did she do? I was confused at her whole guilt thing She cut a deal with Marazai for information on her people after killing a traitor that was working in your palace and stealing his burner cell, then she didn't tell you that you were going to meet Marazai and not just some random source. She didn't expect to get betrayed and captured like that, which is kinda stupid of her but whatever, not the first time a homie led me into a trap based on bad intel and it wasn't the last either.

Dandywalken posted:Lol I must have missed it, wtf did she do? I was confused at her whole guilt thing If you are befriending her, she eventually snoops around your cabin and realizes you have a fragment of her craftworld on her ship, because your predecessor had a hand and in its destruction, thinking you are complicit and too angry to ask questions, her heart falls into turmoil. LATER she notices Heinrixs informant sneaking away from the party and follows him, turns out he's the traitor feeding info to the drukhari and he kills him and seeks info from the dark eldar about her craftworld, which he promises to give if she sends you to a certain system, which she does, setting the whole of chapter 3 off. If she doesn't do it the informant does instead.

Act 3 Argenta spoiler I was legit more offended with Argenta's revelation in Act 3. She just casually tells you that, oh actually she murdered Theodora during a moment of crisis on the ship because idk she looked like she was up to some funny stuff, and then hides this from everyone. First thing I thought was "are you gonna put a bolt between my eyes too for keeping Idra around or using one too many Drukhari weapons?". But, no, she just drops that bombshell and moves on...

LuiCypher posted:The fact that in-lore there is a non-zero amount of inbreeding in Navigator families (especially considering that House Orsellio does not seem to maintain quarters on Terra) coupled with the fact that the "bug" was the Habsburg Jaw (which is most prominent in this photo of Charles II) tells me that this was less of a bug and more of an inside joke (in poor taste) among the dev team that made it into the final game. Regardless, removing it is definitely for the best.

Abelard has at least eleven grandkids last time he talked to his family, loves being Seneschal and trying to make your holdings better places to live, and will follow you naked into the Warp if you're an Iconoclast and don't have him torture people for funsies. He is by far the brightest point of light in the game.

I love how *ending spoilers* you have to harness the power of the oldest enemy with your own pet star-god to have the slightest chance of building an empire that isn't total poo poo. And even then, with the nearly limitless power of the C'tan on your side? The best you can do is block off your empire from the rest of the Imperium, otherwise they'd have smoked you. Not even like you are doing big heresies, just making life somewhat tolerable for folks.

Yeah, makes perfect sense and also makes sure that the Koronus Expanse doesn't become a big thing in regular 40k if you go that route. Which is a real shame because holy gently caress would it be neat to see as a faction.

In act 1 in a turn I somehow got "Purge Soul" to cost 0 AP and I casted it until my dude exploded. It didn't happen one damage at a time, after a few casts he went from full health to no health.

Due to a bug near the end of chapter 3 I had to kill (a party member) Yrliet to access the elevator leading to the last fight. As soon as chapter 4 starts a companion quest immediately bugs out and fails to start or show up in the journal. Gonna set this down till a few patches come in. Fun so far though! The writing is great. One note about assassin usefulness - they have an ability "aim for the opening" I think which allows them to do % max enemy wound damage which is great when bosses start approaching 1k hp. edit: Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:The Ruinous Powers are helping me fund my ship I'm sort of tempted to start a heretic playthrough while I'm waiting.....

I'm nearing the end of Act 2 and this game rocks. Best surprise treat of the year. Overcomplicated, somewhat buggy, and dense? Sure. But it's a fresh new setting for me that had a blast with it's narrative and choices. The loving Foulstone colony choice can get hosed though.

Further Reading posted:drat reading these Yrliet spoilers is really making me regret sacrificing her to a sentient dark hole on an optional planet for only 5 heresy points. I think she has the most involved relationship questline, especially if you actually treat her with kindness and help her on her quest. She has tremendous survivors guilt about being on a selfish outcast path while her craftworld died, despite being rather soft-spoken is considered to be dangerously unhinged by her surviving eldar and only a liability emotionally. Is super impressed by your kindness and tries to reciprocate in kind, even attempting nicely with other party members, poorly, but she's super afraid of intimacy with a human and has trouble handling physical touch at all. Shell still gladly share a lot of eldar secrets with you and even soul bonds with you in an attempt to heal your own trauma. If after her betrayal you rescue her from the dark eldar trying to turn her into one of them, her heart breaks even more because she knows she should have trusted you the whole time and her impetuousness caused tremendous damage to you and your party. She's even willing to sacrifice her own organs to the flesh crafter if it means you can get some info about how to rescue them. If you also made the Janus choice to keep the Eldar in power she keeps your back when they insult you and if you continue to be respectful there, can make them shut up and try to play nicer with you too. It's just a ton of depth and humanity for whats supposed to be the alien crew member, I really enjoy it. Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Dec 16, 2023 |

I just did the "Drifting Voidship" and that sure is one nasty dungeon. Cool though. You're definitely meant to do it later than when you find it naturally, but it's nothing Cassia couldn't handle by doing 4 Hold My Gaze every single turn.

FuzzySlippers posted:There definitely feel like way too many feats tied to specific types of weapons without any way to know how many are actually in the game. I'd like to see a mod that fights the feat bloat by combining a lot of those into targeting broader types of weapons. Pathfinder WOTR has mods that consolidate weapon feats, so this will probably get one eventually.

In tabletop, you can work with your DM to ensure your character has access to the weird weapon you picked a specialization in, but in a CRPG, you're at the mercy of whatever the devs put in the loot tables. Honestly it's another thing I find strange that dev teams don't question when adapting a TTRPG system to video games.

I regret making a Voidborn Naval Officer. "Brace For Impact" is such a nothing ability. I am enjoying the officer playstyle, but Cassia's ability to control the battlefield with cool movement abilities is so much more enjoyable. Might restart.

The loot you get seems to be a little lopsided. I'm drowning and stuff that Heinrix can use for example But other dudes I'm struggling to find a single thing that really benefits them in act 4.

Honestly it's another thing I find strange that dev teams don't question when adapting a TTRPG system to video games. I think in this game every category of weapons is worth taking except force weapons ( only like 2 or 3 of them) and eldar. Dark eldar has a ton of weapons available, normal eldar is mostly just the shuriken rifle (which is neat, it's heavy bolter statline on a normal 2 hander, but that means it can't benefit from heavy weapon talents), and the fusion guns which dark eldar just have better versions of. Yrliets rifles if you want to use them hut don't want her. The other weapon types have plenty of options available to them based on how you're feeling. It's not a perfect distribution but it means that laser, flamer, bolter, melta, heavy, deldar, power, chain, and solid are all worthwhile specs, and that's a lot.
