Black Griffon posted:How does dual wielding work in the game? If I equip another sword in Abelard's off-hand, it it just another weapon in my hand? Does it penalize attacks with my main weapon? there are ways to use both weapons but you have to pursue them if you don't have those talents you're better off mixing and matching for armor penetration vs damage types and special abilities for instance, the crude handaxe you find in the tutorial is excellent as a secondary melee weapon when you want to make a target Bleed, something your sword doesn't do

Bussamove posted:Yeah if you really want to get down to it any option not Dogmatic is either Heretical or Diet Heresy With Half the Calories because of what an awful, stagnant theocracy the Imperium is. You just get to get way with it and not have Argenta put a bolter round in you because you’re a Rogue Trader and that Warrant carries a lot of weight. at some point I'm going to end up having to kill the good sister and i've made peace with that i had her take Ignorance is Strength so her Knowledge of the Warp and Xenos is at -175

Surely if it's a hive planet it would have gotten that way before Imperial compliance, given that the Imperium only showed up in the Expanse about 1000 years ago? it has been a hive world since Old Night or whenever it got settled

Which promptly ended with the death of your entire line and most of your subjects once the Imperial fleet arrived,” I would not at all be surprised. extremely canon with a side-order of look we can't let what you do Matter but at least while you were alive things were better

deep dish peat moss posted:Yeah snipers are great, but they don't synergize well with Soldier skills. But even with a crit-stacking build a gun needs to hit virtually every single shot in its volley to do comparable damage to a 2-handed melee weapon or a psyker attack. My Psykers and melee consistently kill multiple targets every single turn but whenever I use Argenta she struggles to kill a single target each turn. are you using the hymn? all she has to do is tag people for that,not kill them so you can easily tag 4+ your first turn, hymn up and then after killed 2+ next turn your Even More Murder ability turns on and you can just obliterate entire groups in one salvo

Perhaps it's in the controls basic tutorial? It's been standard on CRPGs as long as mice with a middle button have existed

Sekenr posted:Can someone spoil a thing for me I went with heretical choice at the very start but since than was very idiosyncratic with my choices. Most notably I hidden the blade hilt from Hendrix but then for some reason gave him the blade itself, dont ask. Will not sticking to the chosen path bite me in the rear end later? Will I be dissapointed story-wise? mechanically and lorewise you're going to be heavily rewarded for picking a side of the triangle and sticking with it nobody likes a fencesitter

Fat Samurai posted:Staring at the character creation screen, probably going to be a Noble/Commissar Officer from a Hive World for the +10 Fel. From what I understand of the system (nothing), Commissar is for screaming at your team, and Noble is for screaming at one person specifically. Both seem fun, but I'm not sure which is funnier: Slapping my team members to make them go fast like I'm playing Dungeon Keeper or using the fat gently caress in the powdered wig avatar. You can almost immediately get double monocles and they look extremely funny on the guy with the powdered wig

Janissary Hop posted:To balance out all the "you're a loving monster, I hope you loving DIE, btw plz keep piloting my ship" options. I've played two games of the ttrpg and ran one for a couple of years and nobody was ever as mean as the game keeps trying to get the player to be. At one point a player decimated the captured rebels and that still doesn't measure up to the casual suggestion to remove all the lower decks vocal cords.

Arglebargle III posted:Warp damage is just a special kind of damage that ignores non-magic defenses. You can make enemies move to a spot, moving does damage to them sometimes enough that they explode which means any extra damage goes to the nearest enemy, they move out of cover to a spot you choose it's hilarious

Sharkopath posted:I dunno, I thought 3 was fine and was a cool look at a pretty underutilized part of the setting. It's not too long and the combat in it was fun. The Yrliet stuff in It too probably cements that relationship as the best one in the game. Nobody else really gets that kind of depth in them. Honestly wish there was more party interaction stuff of that nature, where somebody is very vulnerable and bearing their heart to you, everybody else is usually really guarded. I wanna know more about Abelard. 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'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. that's part of the tabletop experience as well, you can perfect your build in terms of items fairly quickly because even the rarest items aren't that rare unless you need to have ripped it out of a tyranid you can probably find even xenos weapons fairly easily
