Sharkopath posted:Really depends, some think they are redeemable and a lot think of them as no different than chaos cultists. They end up as allies of convenience only a bit more often than say eldar and humans/tau/kin. Lugganath is kind of the Craftworld version of evil pirates. Just a big pirate webway port hosting corsairs from all over the galaxy. The difference is that on Lugganath the craftworlders are in control even if they move within corsair circles and tolerate drukhari visitors.

I get Jae's certificate after cheating my way to the front of the line at the administratum and then talk to her on the ship where I fall right into her romance, then realize I was planning to date Yrliet and reload my save and pick a different dialogue option, but then she drops an even flirtier response to me and I instinctually go in for the kiss again. I can't believe she tricked me twice.

Had a weird bug on Vheabos VI where only one person of your party goes though the gate into the arena and the rest of party can't get into the combat zone. I checked youtube and your whole party is supposed to go into the gate of the arena before it locks. Not a huge deal since Cassia can solo most stuff and Argenta and Yrliet were able to snipe the remaining enemies

Corsairs are kinda dickish themselves; seem to recall that the Eldar don't really need or want to steal much of anything from other races, so the corsairs are literally running around murdering the vessels of humans and others for sport mainly. The craftworlders just regard it as the equivalent of "sowing wild oats" like all the outcasts, as opposed to the true dickishness of the Dark Eldar (to be fair, corsairs don't generally target their own; the Dark Eldar obviously are less nice about that). About the only "good" thing about them is they will occasionally help out against Chaos or other serious threats like Orks/Necrons. I think they've also managed to pull retaliation onto nearby Exodite worlds or craftworlds sometimes (it's almost like running around killing people makes the victims go looking for any pointy-eared bastards to kill in response...). Just finally got into Act 3; the de-gearing wasn't as bad as I feared since they provided enough crude stuff to more or less play the same style, if not with the same effectiveness. Did get a kick out of earning the achievement in Act 2 for pissing off Marazhai; I could have probably asked questions and maybe gotten something useful, but those taunting Coercion responses actually puncturing Eldar ego for a change were just too tempting  .

There's a romance point of no return after act 3 so that's fine. My dirtbag rogue trader was actively loving Jae while still pursuing Cassia's Victorian courtship ritual throughout the back half of Act 2.

The Lone Badger posted:An Eldar would 500% prefer to work with a Dark Eldar than a mon-keigh. For Eldar it's like choosing between working with batshit crazy drug addict and working with rabid chimpanzee with laser gun. Usually the choice is "peace out, losers" but sometimes said Eldar is a furry and likes those hairy savages.

I like to think of eldar and dark eldar interacting as like the world's most toxic relationship. Just because everybody - including themselves - know it's doomed doesn't mean they might not give it a shot every once in a while and, hell, it might work for a few months before someone dies. Also if you want to talk about respect, or lack of respect, for the lore having a prominent elf character not betray you would be a slap in the face.

It really varies wildly. Given BFG's primary Eldar faction was corsairs, there was a lot of fluff in it regarding what they got up to during the titular period and sector. And some were absolutely pirates, but others were basically on one ship crusades/obsessions about one thing or another and others still swapped what they were doing several times. Like someone in command of one Void Stalker absolutely loving HATED Orks, eventually rumored destroyed tackling a Space Hulk solo. While other groups were mostly hunting Chaos fleets. And of course the Gothic War (i.e. the 12th Black Crusade) ultimately concluded with an alliance between the Imperium and the Eldar, where the majority of the corsair groups fell in line.

I feel like I’m at the end of act 2 and I have thoughts. Game is easily the best owlcat game mechanically. Space combat is a lot of fun and I want a whole roguelike of just that (with like, a few more ships on your side and faster animations. Party members are fun. I’d probably have Henrix in the party if I didn’t just build him as my MC. When he was forced in to the party I make him the caster version and it’s ok. Idria is obviously better but the bad rolls of summoning hostile demons or more importantly losing turns are hard to justify. Pasqal’s name is a programming joke and I love it. I was close to benching him but now I got a plasma gun that never overheats and now, like on the table top, we are Always Be (over)Charging. Cass and officers are super broken. Breaking the action economy breaks the game. We learned that with haste in DnD 3.0 and are continuing to “but this time” it. Also lol multiple ways to go always go first Mega skill checks and traps are dumb and tedious. Toyboxed them out. Trauma system is dumb without combat Rezzing (and wtf bewildered) so thanks again toybox. Class system is a mess. Too Many Decisions, bad recommendations, and some talents are “get another action” and others are “lots of words for 7% dodge on attacks of opportunity”. Got the heavy bolter for Argenta last night and just toyboxed the strength requirement (because I got the feat but forgot to increase her base strength) instead of respecing. Wish they were limited with a tabletop game to make the math easier to comprehend. I have a lot of system mastery in 3.x/pathfinder so those systems were easy to crunch for me. However I wish they took keyworded bonuses and simple +x to stuff instead of all these formulas. It’s wild I’m longing for 3.x mechanics but here we are. Wish the tool tips would be consistent on formula versus what the end of the formula bonus gives (or just show both!) Wish your derived stats like dodge and armor could be moused over and see all the bonuses like they did in their previous games. So many loading screens and clicking to travel. I know it’s owlcat and there is some spectacle cause 40k but like put all the vendors in one place, don’t make me go through 3 loading screens to get to the palace, don’t make me walk though town again. Just so much time wasted. Combat is still a blast, and they are nailing the 40k stuff. Also the game let me do my tabletop army head cannon of turning a forgefiend in combat then keeping it to fight chaos. Radical inquisition stuff is so fun.

It's not especially clear but the vendors are all in one place, it's the quartermaster guy on your ship. Saying "I want to order and ship some stuff" or something like that accesses all of them.

Yeah they're just having fun and adventure for the sake of it, pirates are cool. It'd be fun to write them as like errol Flynn style adrenaline junkies instead of the usual space elf haughty aristocrats, always increasing the odds against themselves and doing things that up the danger but look cooler. An Eldar fights for safe efficiency, a Deldar fights to cause maximum pain, a Corsair fights 5 people with one hand behind their backs to even the odds and keeps trying to swing from the cargo chains while doing it.

I have been singing this game’s praises a lot recently but I’ll do it again: I really appreciate that the game allows you to take the piss out of the haughty superior edgelord bad guy as much as it does. After far too much of my life wasted playing vidya I have a distinct fondness towards being extremely spiteful towards this sort of character, and I know other, lesser studios like BioWare would have just Kai Leng’d the poo poo out of him.

I was looking out for when you can recruit the evil guy and it never even seemed to show, so they just got deaded. Left a party member behind because I couldn't find any trace of them, and left another recruitable party member because I couldn't get it to work despite exhausting the options talking to him and the person who lets you recruit them. Game is good but definitely feels bugged even when it might not be.

You have to turn off your translator device and talk to him in Low Gothic. It's a nice callback to Act 2 where he reveals he can speak your language. I think that's the branch point.

I said it before, but really what makes Act 3 for me narratively is how all these arrogant assholes keep looking down on and completely discounting you as a threat. And you can utterly loving wreck them for it. And none of the others around will learn a single thing from watching it happen. Nocturne of Oblivion must be laughing his clown rear end off for the whole drat act watching this comedy show he's kicked off when he dug your rear end out of the corpse pit, gave you a stim and let you loose.

It's great because I had enough Iconoclast in Act 3 to decipher his poetry and make him absolutely thrilled with his choice, so he showed up again at the Point of No Return to give me an Iconoclast 4 trinket that my Dogmatic 4 rear end couldn't use. I appreciate the thought anyway. I'm playing Battlefleet Gothic 2 right now as a palate cleanser, and I'm realizing I played my RT a lot like Lord Admiral Spire if I'm reading his characterization right.
