Are there any books or games that are actually lighthearted and funny, preferably about orks, that someone would actually recommend reading or playing? Actually lighthearted and funny, not "grimdark, but it's ironic" or "satire, but not in a way that makes people laugh". I keep wanting to get into the W40K franchise but I don't really enjoy grimdark stuff, space politics, or military fiction...

Also, for Dawn of War 2, the DLC is only about $3, how necessary is it, or can I just skip it

Not a book or a game but the emperor has a text to speech device is really fun time and honestly basically canon to me. It's the tone the setting should have damnit :argh:

Honestly, I'm kind of with the redditors on this one; no lesbian romance I can think of, and having the sole gay male romance be a Drukhari is all kinds of :yikeseroo: if you ask me.

Yeaahh as a lesbian I am unironically disappointed but I assume modders will fix things :shrug:

Both bi options are women, it's mostly gay guys that get the short end of the stick on this one.

Not sure why that means I still can't be disappointed anyway? But it is kind of weird that the only gay dude option is a deldar of all things. Basically:

There's something with the mechanics about how psyker abilities count as attacks, and whether or not perception effects your hit chance, that I recall from a while back that hasn't been made clear to me.

If it's like the pen and paper game, then every psyker power has a focus power test you need to make to actually cast. Usually a focus power test uses either a psyniscience(perception based) test or a straight willpower test. I think there are a few edge case spells that use some other skills for a focus power test but they are rare and may actually be from one of the other tabletop systems, hell if I can remember

In the beta psyker powers just worked when cast, and the enemy got to make their skill check to dodge/resist. The staffs with their unique powers counted as weapon attacks that increased Veil Degradation, but also came with unique heroic moments like force lightning that wouldn't hit your allies which I think did not weaken the Veil.

Unless they really improve the itemization the staffs are more like pure psyker only builds, as it scales solely off of Psy Ranking.

:shrug: I'm not in the beta so yeah I couldn't say. Just pointing out focus power is how the table top makes perception affect psyker powers hit chance

It doesn't help that the rules straight up worked inconsistently from what you would expect depending on which 40k rpg splat you were using.

In Dark Heresy 1st edition and rogue trader, when you go to fire a gun you choose if you are firing single shot, semi auto burst, or full auto burst. You would think the single shot would be the most accurate and you'd be loving wrong. Single shot was a ballistic skill +0 check, semi auto was a +10, and full auto was a +20. Semi and full auto gave you more hits depending on your degrees of success, but full auto it was straight up easier to even hit the baseline of hitting.

This wasn't changed until Dark Crusade and Only War, where (iirc) they made single shot a +10, semi auto a +0, and full auto a -10. Making your single shot weapons were more likely to hit, and full auto was a risk reward proposition because it was harder to hit, but when you did you could track up a bunch of extra hits from rate of fire.

Fantasy Flight games was a land of contrasts.

I still love opening up the book and seeing "armourer is used for crafting weapons and armour" immediately followed by another box saying "tech use is used for crafting weapons and armour". Also "chem use is used for crafting drugs and medicines" (chem use is not a skill in this system) :allears:

E. Also, I wish there was a sort button in the reputation screen on traders

If you mean cargo, there is! You need to go to the cargo goods tab that shows you items are actually in each cargo and then you can sort there by type/name/whatever. The sorting sticks when you switch back to the normal cargo tab

Anyone got some good pasqal builds? I love the guy (romance when) but ironically his versatility is making it difficult for me to decide on what to build.


Also yeah there is some real weird stuff going on with LoS. I had an annoying game where my characters were standing on a raised platform and were getting shot at from below by a guy with a pistol. The weird part is that for some reason none of my characters could get LoS on the enemy :confused: he wasn't even behind full cover!

Because I've played other Owlcat games, I've downloaded Toybox, toggle points of interest is a gamechanger. Where is the setting for free respecs?

Go to the party tab and there should be an option for respec next to your characters. If you're on the ship you might need to swap to the remote characters subtab


Was it the gog or steam version that needed a file renamed after this patch?

Hate that I had to google to find out Cassia is straight because that first set of ship conversations really misled me on that detail.

Kinda disappointed. She had real “I can fix her.” Energy. And by fix her I mean turn her to the wonderful liberating path of chaos worship.

Its why I ended up installing the toybox in the end. Infinite repeccing? nah. QoL features? nah. Cheats? nah. Date everyone? HELL YES

Can I lock myself out of stuff by progressing too fast, or will every side quest and the like still be available unitl the end of the game?

Yes, at least my gf missed a bunch of stuff in the first act because she went straight for the main story and there's at least one other quest I can think of off the top of my head that can fail if you leave it in favor of other quests.

I got minor spoilers about the iconoclast ending and it actually seemed pretty cool? Seems weird to be worrying about it before you even get to the end

Ah I see, it sounds like the person who told me didn't run into that particular bug.

Anyway it's still weird that it feels like every time I check back into this thread there's someone handwringing about how immoral this game and how you aren't rewarded enough for being a good person or something. If it's that bad why not...stop playing?

Are there any reasonable build guides out there? I love Pasqal but I cannot figure out a good feeling build for the poor guy.

Also I stuck Cassia on grand strategist and I'm not sure if that was a good move, but it's not like I'm using any AP on non psyker stuff anyway

I really really want to be able to respec from specific levels because goddamn if I realize I dont like a choice I made 2 levels ago I need to start from the very beginning and hope I remembered to write down what I picked before. It just feels really hard to experiment because it's such a pain
