Dark Heresy

At least I have a male Eldar Corsair.

With her it's always "elantach" this and "elantach" that
She thinks of nothing else

DH info from stream

You start as a Acolyte and become a Inquisitior LATER in the game. Edit: Valeria said "you can become a inquisitior, but you start as Acolyte." Then starrok reinforced it that you start as Acolyte.

The party size still 6 total. No change from Rogue Trader.

The power scale is lower than Rogue Trader

Story primarily about the Tyrant Star, learn about it.

Mommentum is gone. Morale system instead. You can build around the morale system.

Morality system. Radical/Puritan axis.

Less flat maps, more vertical maps. Changes to the engine.

Changes for the archetype system , a lot of changes. Improvements to make less overwhelming than rogue trader. No dumbed down the system.

Fully voiced game. Starrok said that dialogue still the same as Rogue trader.

Shorter game than Rogue trader.

Romance are in the game. Roughly as many as Rogue trader.

One of the Origins from Rogue Trader is becoming a Archtype in Dark Heresy (Psyker probably)

Aaron Dembski-Bowden, author of Night Lords novels, is writing a tie-in novel for the game's collection edition.

Updated models and animations.

Ship about the size of the Ebon hawk.

Similar co-op to Rogue trader.

A investigation system that flow with the whole game better going to be replacing the Colony/Trader empire management from RT.

A cameo from Rogue Trader confirmed.

Same people behind Rogue trader's OST working in Dark Heresy

Why is he there and what is he looking for.

She's relying on the only living creature that can help her with her quest, anon

Looking for human women

Hope the Night Lord antagonist is voiced by Andrew Wincott. Come on Owlcat!
youtube.com/watch?v=emJ2WHpicBg

I don't know...Maybe he's looking for love? My love that is.

human women

Just human women? He's an Eldari, human men are likely on his radar too.

This bitch is so insanely manipulative in this fucking game. I don't mind it but after chapter 3 I wanted to just sit her down and say "Look here bitch the amount of shit I let you get away with because you are a cute and talented sniper is just ridiculous stop trying my patience" In all recorded instances I did everything I could to help her and even showed an extreme preference towards helping her and her people at the behest of my own and then during the calligos questline she's still begging me to betray my own race.

during the calligos questline she's still begging me to betray my own race.

Yeah that was pretty egregious
Still the thing with the spirit stone thing was cute

Can't wait to berate and beat the shit out of that Ogryn, I hope Owlcat lets us do some truly heinous things to it.

But why?

he's a pirate and a wizard anon, that's like double degrees of "lmao I do whatever the fuck I want"

I like your feathers

SKREEE

*You Have Started A Romance*

Ayo where the white women at

Kroot

Female

You're lying, yes?

It's funny to see how actual retards react to danger and pain

Ogryn should have been a girl

Corsair

Space pirate

Boring

He's a bonehead so he should have the smarts of your average underhive factory worker

I just want to make Yrliet kill every Eldar we run into.

I would have killed for a beastwoman companion, or a cute nightsider like Mossa's art. Why does GW only focus on Ogryns and Ratlings. Abhumans are interesting.

At least she helped me BIGLY in dealing with the Solitaire. As soon as that fight started I thought I was fucking cooked. I looked at his HP and just started laughing but she nailed him with a sniper round and even though he basically killed 2 of my companions in 1 round of combat she did alot of damage to him and then Calligos ran in with his motley crew of psychos and just ran a train on him and his harlequins. That was a great moment just because usually in CRPGs characters like Calligos are usually all bluster then you have to carry them in combat but in this game his party definitely earned their reputation that Woatan guy was an absolute psychopath and monster in combat. It was also hilarious when one of the tribal women was about to go on a long diatribe about her culture and Calligos just said "Shut up you old hag" that entire chapter was so funny you can tell that there is a sense of self awareness and Calligos was written like a player that is sick of reading NPC dialogue and sick of dealing with NPC infighting and he just wants to get down to the killing.

You're lying, yes?

By no means

It was the best part of chapter 4

She’s gonna catfish me by releasing smells I love to court me

Definitely going to be an interesting romance for sure

Cool a Dark Heresy game is coming out! I loved playing the TTRPG with my nerd buddies!

Can't wait to talk about it with Anon Babble!

All Anon Babble cares about is if they can fuck, or if they want to fuck, the companions

This website is a curse

I've got some genetic material for her to consume

I thought the ending of Tervantias was a bit of a let down he just goes down like an absolute bitch skulking around in some abandoned imperial facility but I guess he's written as if he's totally lost his mind. I just wish I had more dialogue with him before I killed him I would have just loved to tell him "If you are so fucking smart why are you about to be so fucking dead?" just to see him seethe a little more.

WOWZERS

THE NEWEST 40K SLOP JUST DROPPED CANT WAIT TO CONSOOM WITH MY FELLOW BANDWAGONERS WHO COULDNT NAME ONE PRIMSRCH A YEAR AGO

EMPEROR IS A FEMALE BTW XDXD

There's a whole hidden segment on the frozen planet with another clone of Tevantias, as well as some human survivors.
It's almost complete, just not quite playable. Sucks that it never got finished and just ended up being sealed off.

Primarchs

What army do you collect? What was your first codex?
HH was the worst thing to happen to 40k. The second worst thing was bringing back girlyman and primaris. Fuck you secondary.

This has been the plight of most video game forums since BG2

Mommentum is gone

what the fuck

These companions are too alien. They need to be more grounded if they want the players to care.

Go fuck yourself you corporate cocksucker.

SPES
youtube.com/watch?v=4om7AuID6BY

As Kroot change based on the genetic material they consume, what are the chances the game will have you kill off hot females so the kroot can perfect herself for you?

They call it morale now
It'll probably play out the same way

HIGH MORALE

But the best part of momentum was the announcement. Morale doesn't sound that cool

Shorter game than Rogue trader.

Damn I was hoping for a longer game

Fully voiced game. Starrok said that dialogue still the same as Rogue trader.

In a way this kind of worries me and makes me think there won't be as much going on if every single text crawl needs to be voiced. Rogue Trader's script feels like a 800 page novel.

They got that player character right at least, he looks great just like the poster rogue trader did

Stay consistent. You want a longer game but you also want less words?

Who is this Big Boss guy? Is he a Catachan jungle fighter?

I hope they can get a decent voice actor for the token black character this time at least. Seelah and Idira are truly awful

Way Seekers have two known duties, the first of which is to guide the souls of the fallen into waystones in order to save their souls from Slaanesh. The second is to guide Corsair vessels safely through the Webway or Warp anomalies.

I can't believe this poor elf is going to be the Eldar equivalent of a special needs bus driver

No I want more words. What worries me about every single text box being voiced leads me to believe it will be a shorter script.

Listen up you fucktard devs
you want bg3 tier money?
give us clussy
give us a harlequin bitch we can fuck (raw, wet)
you will literally sell 10times the amount of copies you would've otherwise
now do it fuckers
get a clue

Idira was great.

I hope we'll get a schizo psychopath like Argenta

I was literally thinkin that too. I really wanted a harlequin companion in Rogue Trader but the ship's bridge was already brimming with freaks and various xenos one more might of broke the bank.

Maybe you liked the character but the VA was objectively amateur level

Starrok answered this but I don't have the screencap

Yep

They should hire theater actors like FromSoft
youtube.com/watch?v=Kr0vp5OjsEo

Just got this youtube thumbnail jumpscare.

That guy is pretty based

I really liked Abelard and Yrliet's voice acting.
Argenta was good in her combat barks but less so when she had long conversations.

Listen up you fat wimp
If you put big poppa pump on that ships bridge full of freaks there is about a 75 and a half percent chance he's going to fuck every single alien freak on that ship
You add Kurt Angle to the mix and those chances drastically increase

Same

He's great
lol

no one cares, your hobby is the rug for every slut in the city on a friday night now

He looks like an amorphous blob of fat. If you let yourself get to this state you aren't "based", you're a weak-willed pussy.
At least have the decency to not put your face on thumbnails or in the videos in full shot if you look like that.

I loved Marazhai's voice acting and dialogue. There was a very obvious air of insecurity and childish immaturity behind his edge. He was such a beautifully broken individual.

you're talking to an npc who unironically posts based under a video on stalin

Oh yeah I forgot him, he was excellent.
Great scenery chewing

There was a very obvious air of insecurity and childish immaturity behind his edge. He was such a beautifully broken individual

Post your tits you stinky fujo I can smell you through the screen

Couldn't care less about that.

This is going to be my go to murder machine if he lives up to the hype.

Let me guess, you can fix him

amateur level

I dunno how anyone can play through the scene of discovering Theodora's body and think that. She made me believe that scream was goddamn real.

Will she betray you for the most retarded reasons?

They're probably dialogue skippers

Good for you.
As for myself, I am 100% certain that if that guy goes into his channel's engagement metrics, he'll see that 9/10 of the viewers he gets leave the moment his fat head appears in the shot. He's literally sabotaging his own growth.

There's no fixing that I get a sense that under all of the problems he has and the instinctual aeldari pride he bemoans being born Drukhari.

Argenta had a softness to her non combat dialogue I really liked. Mad it easier to imagine her kinder moments as the VA speaking.
Yrliet had her moments but was a bit too flat sometimes
Abelard and Pasqal and Ulfar were probably my favorites. Pasqal managed to get a lot through the synth they put his voice through, Abelard was just good solid performance and Ulfar was absolutely amazing with that reverberance effect they gave him and just the performance in general.

Could be!

If you've been into CRPGs long enough you'll realize that waifufags will inevitably be a part of any game in the genre.
Their failures irl serve to fund more of these games so I choose to take them as a sort of necessary evil.

Story primarily about the Tyrant Star

Does that mean you will mostly stay in one system? Never liked how you could visit a 100 planets in RT and all of them were fucking nothing

kroot (xenos)

eldar (xenos)

sheboon (abhuman)

ogryn (abhuman)

Is the catachan your only normal companion? This would be a commonplace party in Wrath and Glory but to play this group in Dark Heresy your Inquisitor would have to be insanely radical

It's a one planet story.

meant to type owlkino

Morality system. Radical/Puritan axis.

Neat

and Ulfar was absolutely amazing with that reverberance effect they gave him and just the performance in general.

The first time he spoke I got like a jolt the effect was really good also the headphones I use have a lot of extra bass to them I felt the vibrations through my skull. It was really cool it made him feel a bit larger than life like a space marine should.

Hella based

Which is probably why the rest of the companions are humans. Look at RT, the only xenos we have are two Eldar. Here we have two xenos introduced already.

Yeah. It also made his laughs and mad growls sound way more intense.
Honestly Ulfar in general is a great character. He made me like space wolves again. None of the usual wolfwolfwolf shenanigans and just a badass space viking out for revenge over his fallen brothers.

Aren't Kroot just Predators that eat people? Seemed kinda boring.

Not to mention it makes very little sense for an Adept to be wandering around with highly visible xenos. Adepts might have a bit of leeway due to the Inquisitorial Seal but they're supposed to be investigators, and subtlety is usually the best course of action in DH games.

The more I read about this the less I like how many liberties they're taking with the DH format. DH is 40k mudcore barely survive a gunfight level. If you wanted a super powerful party then the right move was to do Deathwatch.

Yep one planet, possibly with short trips elsewhere in the system

It's literally impossible to fix a Dark Eldar. They subsist off of suffering. They literally need to torture people in order to not have their souls eaten by Hyper Rape Satan.

The only exception is Dark Eldar that become Harlequins, who become protected by the Laughing God. But that's practically noone.

how many liberties they're taking with the DH format

Rogue Trader also took a large number of liberties. Because you fucking need to when you change fucking medium, you clown.

They're techno primitives.
The Tau came along and gave them cool shit like FTL and spaceships, but they still prefer black powder rifles and cqc.
When they eat things, they mutate slightly to be more like them. They send mercenaries out into the universe to eat a bunch of shit to collect the genetic material, then come home, where they're ritually eaten to improve the tribes genetic makeup.
They literally HAVE to eat intelligent creatures or they stop being intelligent themselves.

They're kinda neat. I've read novels with more interesting aliens. But this is 40k, creativity is somewhat limited.

What if one left really early? Could they join a craftworld and get a spirit stone?
If so that would have made a good origin for Yrliet, and make Marazhai her brother or something giving a reason for her to think she could trust him

If you wanted a super powerful party then the right move was to do Deathwatch.

Or Wrath and Glory
You know the system specifically made to feel like you're playing superheroes in 40K where it's no problem for an orc, an eldar, a normal human and a space marine to form a party

They are pretty basic I agree
They work well in their intended role as Tau allied forces but outside of that they're very bland

Kroot women crave BHC

Yatuja are part of their inspiration, but they aren't just their copy. Their cannibalism and mutating into different strains is a bigger aspect of them. They also take some inspiration from Gungans

I don't think Dark Aeldar can bond with a spirit stone. Their spirits are so corrupted that they ruin the spirit stone. Maybe things can be done but for the most part they are damned.

They also take some inspiration from Gungans

I was thinkin that too

If you feed her enough cum will she turn into a human female?

The Lilith Hesperax novel fights that claim.

Black Library slop doesn't count, only codices

Asking the real questions.

Also I think their desire to torture has become an evolutionary strategy and it's like instrinsically apart of their group psychology now. After thousands of years of torturing people the pleasure they get has become more than just the pleasure of refreshing their bodies and minds it's now intrinsically apart of the DNA of their souls now.

Dark Aeldar

God emperor, i know i dont prey enough but please make this kroot companion that is fully voiced talk like jar-jar

She's going to have a raspy voice

Rogue Trader also took a large number of liberties

Not really

Because you fucking need to when you change fucking medium

Not really no
Why are you so mad?

I mean. Technically that could happen. There isn't anything *explicitly* wrong with somehow a Drukhari trueborn child being stolen and taken to a Craftworld and raised to not be a monster so it could actually bond with a spiritstone. But it does stretch disbelief and probably wouldn't make it to print because it wouldn't be easy for a story like that to make any sense.

For real though imagine Owlcat Black Crusade

pure kino

Ayyyeeeee Lord Inquisita mesa thinks these robed fellas are a little chaosy waosy

Implying Black Library isn't above publishing the worst kind of special snowflake characters possible

It would just be Dark Eldar Drizzt. and people ate up Drizzt books for a decade.
I never understand why people think 40k is a coherent setting for serious stories. Its barely one step above a 14 year old's scribblings about his cool and edgy OC.

What would the alignment system even be in this?

only woman on the cover is black

pass

He made me like Space Wolves for the first time, I always had difficulty reconciling Space Marines with bombastic personalities and viking aesthetic but Owlcat wrote it very well and the performances were stellar

But they can, according to novel

You start as undivided and can make decisions moving your alignment towards one of the 4 gods

Feels like thats more what they want to be making. Or at least Deathwatch. Dark Heresy is a small scale dudes barely making it and really hoping their boss doesn't kill them for knowing too much at the end of it all.
Owlcat really likes to make you a big damn hero.
The two don't mix that well. I hope they pull it off, but I'm pretty sure things are going to feel more like an Rogue Trader getting ordered around, power level wise.

Haminess is fun. You will understand when you're older.

not even only woman on the roster

only woman on the COVER

Kinda hilarious, not gonna lie

My favorite bit was right at the start where you can grill him for information and there's quite a few skill checks to figure out he's hiding a ton of stuff.

He trooned out lmao

Call me a redditor, cause I laughed at the badger

There's a book about a Dark Eldar being taken prisoner by Craftworlders and eventually integrates into craftworld society

'You are astute, and your fear is not without just cause. It was your misfortune that fate placed your spirit into a body born into the darkness of Commorragh. Rare is the second chance fate has given you, and rarer still those who can accept it. Almost unique are those who survive to enjoy its full benefits.’

‘Others? Commorraghans who have been bonded to spirit stones? It really is possible!’

‘Of the kin of Commorragh, I do not know. Perhaps they live on other craftworlds – there are none like you on Alaitoc. I speak of those eldar born beyond the craftworld, unexpectedly or in secret, not to be blessed with the spirit stone at their birth. If we get them as children, it is not so difficult. As adults...’

I am going to buy a sexy Kroot proxy in honour of her.

I WANTED THIS GAME TO BE LIKE FUCKING X-COM. GODDAMNIT I WANTED THIS GAME FOR FUCKING YEARS. The tabletop game had such lethal fucking combat, players could die at any point, go mad at any point. Your dudes would be so jaded, psychologically scarred, and physically maimed by the end of a campaign it was amazing they made it through at all. I had one guy in my group have his characters die at least once every few sessions because he was such a poor roller and kept ending caught out of position in combat. One grenade. A single daemon could do a TPK. If this game has any romance at all I'm gonna riot. This game should be grim, dark, and LETHAL.

no blank companion

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I might check this out

what?

Thats what I mean. Part of the appeal of 40k is its ridiculous over topness. Its an unserious setting that, in universe, is dead serious. But the reader is supposed to be busting a gut because the deadly threat to the galaxy is a bunch of green football hooligans who super glue their guns together. Or giggling because the entire faction of psychotic heavily armed nuns exist because of a rule technicality that the church can't have male soldiers.

Its haminess is fantastic.
But there is a big portion of the audience that seems to entirely miss the ham, and treat the whole thing as dead serious.

still no ork companion

Ulfar's voice actor is now a woman.

The feasibility of Drizzt leaving the Underdark was considerably less practically impossible than a trueborn Drukhari being stolen from Commorragh.

All Drizzt had to do was doublekill his dead da. And Lolth didn't give two shits.

Cool

That's so strange.........

zero attractive females

not in the conventional human way or in the hot monster girl way like Cassia

I get it's not fucking Persona but come on now.

So, you had xenos companions in Rogue Trader because you were a Rogue Trader so you could do what you wanted, Emperor says so. But how can you have a xenos companion if the game is about working with the Inquisition?

Cassia's voice is so pretty

*1 dmg*

Wahh! Help me Lord Captain!

You know how the CIA works with terrorists?
It's the same thing

The Tau came along and gave them cool shit like FTL and spaceships

No they didn't, they got it from beating an ork invasion on their homeworld. Yeah, they out orked orks. The Tau found the Kroot when they were already fighting against another Ork Waaagh.

It appears the time he spent in Commorragh has truly corrupted him.

They will get the pajeeta from spess mareen 2

I guess we have to repat if for the secondaries in every fucking thread, but inquisitors working with abhumans, mutants and even xenos till a crisis is resolved happens more often than you'd think.
Alien alliances tend to be tempoorary with someone getting blammed at the end compared to the other two, but it happens.

Inquisitors tend to be able to get away with whatever till a bigger dick inquisitor who dislikes that gets involved

Some Inquisitors have permanent xenos in their retinue, some Inquisitors even make friends with xenos and respect them. This is not super unusual.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OHHH NONONONO NOT LIKE THIS ULFARBROS

Tervantias had the last laugh.

There are varying orders within the inquisition and there are basically political parties in those. Radicals for the Ordo Malleus use daemon weapons or even daemonhosts, radicals for the Ordos Xenos would ally with aliens, they do so because they argue the end justify the means. Puritans on the other hand, don't.

some Inquisitors even make friends with xenos and respect them. This is not super unusual.

mmmmm not unusual for Inquisitors that get books and supplement material written about them but it's still probably more like 1/10,000 inquisitors in the setting

How the hell will this work out for future DLCs in Rogue Trader?

As the other anons said, if you were an actual, full Inquisitor with a xeno or two in tow, no one would bat an eye.
Problem is, this game is supposed to be Dark Heresy. You're not supposed to be playing a full Inquisitor, just an acolyte. Basically a deniable Inquisitorial asset. A grunt. You're an Inquisitorial detective, complete with them telling you "You're out of line, I want your badge on my desk tomorrow!" kind of shit.

So it really does not make sense for an Acolyte to be dragging around any xenos at all. Most cells are made up of, like, a really good guardsmen, a thug from the area you were recruited, a bureaucrat who got caught up in something the Inquisitor needed looking up, and a sanctioned psyker who's a bigger threat to the group than he is to the enemy.

Owlcat seems to be writing something that isn't really true to the DH experience. It could be really fun, but its not really what DH is about.

DA:O and ME was made much better by the likes of Morrigan, Lillian, Miranda, Ashley, Tali and Liara.
Now look at Andromeda and Veilguard.

Probably where the Tyrant Star plot comes in, because the Hive World has gone mad and there's no sense to anything. Covert operation is out the window because there's mass hysteria abound.

morality system with axis of

Destroying Emperor's enemies and Seeking out His Enemies Everywhere

to

Worshipping Emperor Orthodoxically in Silence and Reverence

heh

doesn't put out until Chapter 4

when she does she immediately starts clawing your back and leglocking you

horny mutant

30k>40k and it's not close

damn, she really has morrigan's exact tits godbless

I'm sure he can still do the voice

the image says you can't use it you're gonna go to jail now

She has a tail? I never noticed that I think whatever that is, is just that particular artists' personal degeneracy.

BLACK CRUSADE GAME WHEN
I WANNA REMAKE MY PSYCHIC MURDER CROW MUTANT IN THAT.
Or a only war and I can remake my great crusade solar auxillia character who was literally just law bringer from for honor...
Any of you guys have any memorable characters if you've played any of the FFG 40k ttrpgs?

it's supposed to be a further mutated Cass

Oh yea I forgot they get progressively worse over time.

You will start out as an acolyte and branch out into inquisitor. Chances are the Lord Inquisitor forcefully hooks you up with some xenos for some purpose.

witch erotic!

tfw groomed an innocent and unsuspecting Hiver Crime Lord into my perfect gentleman lover

Hmm, I could see that.
Investigation is more about any info about the star itself, and keeping things under control in the few days you have when its around than a long term subtle case. So you're forced to go loud and heavy because there's no time and no reason to be quiet.
I could get behind that.

I always wanted to play but I had no friends who were interested in the universe or that system. It was always DnD

I was shocked by how soon Kibbellah opened her legs for you

(at least) two xeno party members, again

Why can't they just make Imperium-focused and xeno-focused games separately? Based on RT, having xenos around is completely detrimental to you, never mind that it doesn't even make sense in case of Marzipan and they both more or less only served to fill the "freak shit" character quota.

Had a great Thug character in a DH game. He managed to survive the whole campaign, with several surreptitiously acquired bionic components to replace things he lost along the way. Started out playing him as a typical hard ass smuggler, who just wanted to get paid. By the end he was out to purge the cult that killed everyone he'd worked with, with extreme cruelty.
He was caught in the explosion the party set in the cult's temple, still stabbing the leader in his third heart.

secondary post again

started playing Rogue Trader

there is no tech priest class/background

Man.... I guess ordering women around will have to do it for now

Btw guys today is the 5 year anniversary of George Floyd's ascent to godhood.

You have my deepest sympathies you poor fool.
Tho maybe if you trick them into playing enough of the vidya they'll come around...
If you do ever play Only war a DH2e are personally my favorite of the systems.
DH1e does hold a special place in my heart tho, and RT altho my favorite "set up" is mechanically my least favorite

I can't believe it!

You get a Tech Priest companion soon. He's also awesome he has a disdain for plebs.

That is a nice character arc, from distant and disillusioned to caring deeply for those he lost and fervently motivated.

RT's are the most likely to deal directly with xenos, after that a radical Inquisitor is second most likely.
As mentioned up thread though, we're supposed to just be acolytes. So there's a bit of a stretch for this game to be allying with xenos, but they seem to be angling on powering you up to full Inquisitor rather quickly.

It's literally impossible to fix a Dark Elda

This is completely false, there are rare cases of dark eldar managing to redeem themselves and bond with a soul stone and join craftworlds. The reason it's not common is that spirit stones are rare, and are usually bonded with as infants where it's a sure thing. Doing it as an adult risks failure and will both kill the dark eldar AND shatter the stone which is risky and they're the one thing Eldar are not post-scarcity in
I recommend reading the Path of the Dark Eldar series if you actually want some insight into DE society.

Also they can join the Ynnari and have their souls safeguarded by Ynnead now in addition to Cegorach in the harlequins.

Aren't we Acolytes of an established named Inquistor? What's his tax policy anyway?

I've tried to repeat the process by distributing fentanyl mixed with less potent drugs to blacks but so far all of them have simply died without the deification process starting. Perhaps Floyd really had a more potent spark of divine than your average person?

Seems that would be a pretty big stretch. Even if a Techpriest had a Warrant of Trade I think it would be pretty unlikely for them to end up using it, right?
Those things are tied to bloodlines

Keep everything in a status quo among the different Inquisitiorial factions. He's basically true neutral, do whatever the fuck you want.

Nice

nothing stops techpriests from fucking and having kids, there's entire branches devoted to biological science. Remember the admech are the ones who collect and manage geneseed tithes from marine chapters, genetic engineering is still a sacred pursuit

Also I read that in Pascal's voice.

nothing stops techpriests from fucking and having kids

They all have test tube babies

not all, only the really high ranking and old priests are more metal than man. Tech priest was a career in the actual dark heresy TTRPG, there's no reason you couldn't play one

omg is that a black woman?

I understand that on paper having xenos in your retinue isn't something out of ordinary for the setting, but after finishing RT I don't think such companions worked for it or were even worth the inclusion. So basically, I already expect the new ones to be at odds with you, your mission, your worldview, and everything else, which in turn makes me wonder what's even the point of their presence to begin with.

calling others secondary when you don't know shit about Dark Heresy

Fucking ironic
Dark Heresy had 0 playable xenos classes. Even the splatbook designed specifically for radical Inquisitors only gives you access to xenos tech, not to playable xenos races

KEK
I don't know how I would get my laughs without this site.

Hm, should I play RT? I know nothing about Wamham but I rather like Owlniggers way of classes theorycrafting.

No, its called an Eldar. I too was pretty disgusted when i first saw one.

More of a counter, like in the TTRPG - if you let yourself get too corrupted, too quickly and too mindlessly, you just get possessed/turn into a Chaos Spawn.

It's actually a woman from the race Kroot, a cannibalistic bird person. It's easy to mix them up.

I rather like Owlniggers way of

RT is by far more accessible with class builds and the game is not that difficult in comparison to the Pathfinder games,
But still this is a good game to get started on Warhammer since it does tell you a lot about the setting.

because ratlings and ogryns have made comebacks in recent lore, the rest of the abhumans are ancient history dating from the 90s
if GW didn't want anything do with them in the last 25 years, then I doubt we'll ever will

We will get clussy, how will her romance look like?

Yeah but the system was mechanically shared with Rogue Trader and had rules for converting characters over and the latter had official rules for Kroot mercenaries, dark eldar, and Ork Freebootas. Owlcat has been using the two games largely interchangeably, they couldn't fit Kroot into RT so now they're putting them in DH

I would say the only thing that is annoying is the respec system. I have never played an as he put it Owlnigger game until RT and when I went to respec you can't just alter individual slots you need to start from square 1 and all I wanted to do was change a few talents and abilities in my list. Shit was annoying as fuck yo.

Owlcat is just adapting existing rulesets. One in RT is much more accessible and not so build focused.

dating kroot and she's like tchk tchk

Jesus Christ
God Emperor save me.

Hm, I might give it a go then, currently it's 50% off anyway.

Make sure to get Void Shadows, excellent new class and companion and fleshes out the ship really well.

i don't think i want to play this game anymore

Why won't owlcat include any dwarves or orks in these games

Yeah sure but it says Dark Heresy on the title and people are perfectly justified in asking why the game is advertising itself with 2 xenos companions. Something that is not support by the Dark Heresy system but is commonplace in the later, and worse, Wrath and Glory.
You're a primary Dark Heresy fan if you recognize the problem with that.

the amount of shit I let you get away with

cucks and simps get what they deserve. I have no sympathy for you

Votann are a waste of space, and you have Mechanicus II for that. As for Ork, wait for the next batch of DLC for Rogue Trader.

is this game anything like Underrail, where you can autistically approach the game in wildly different ways between multiple playthroughs?

Sounds like you're just a shitter, anon. If you're having problems with anything past chapter one consider going back to match-3 games or something

Sounds like might as well get the Voidfarer edition then?

Even when playing a CSM Owlkek would find a way to make you feel like a cuck in every situation.

I bought the Night Lord Trilogy last year and the book took like fucking 4 months to get to my doorstep. It's crazy though how I just read the thing and now they are making a game about these guys this is cool.

Trvth nuke

Then start talking about it. I don't give a shit about romances
Lol. Lmao. First time with owlkek games?

It's not out yet so we can't say for sure but it's probably not that autistic
Their previous game Rogue Trader had linear progression with you choosing one of three 3 story paths to follow, while your own character progression started with picking 1 of 4 base classes which could later on be combined with 1 of 6 advanced classes. Which did make for a good amount of variety in character builds but it's a lot more straightforward than Underrail

Not sure how much that is, but if it included the season pass you'll get the upcoming Lex Imperialis dlc at least, though not sure how that will be. Void Shadows is at least very solid.

more xenoslop party members

why? especially for a member of the inquisition

Like Lotti from Deponia.
youtube.com/watch?v=GdW9Qex5pCM

Because the Inquisition can and will.

with you choosing one of three 3 story paths to follow

That's a lie. Do not fall for it . There is only one story path

both kill the dark eldar AND shatter the stone

Think the failure just led to the eldar losing his mind, death would be a mercy granted by the craftworlders. And don't remember anything about the stone shattering. I've read "Dark Son".

Owlkeks are kinda retarded. But the xenoscum are not acolytes, just mercs you utilize

making the hottest, funniest and most engaging romance option the least attractive

What did Larian mean by think

That the real beauty is on the inside or something

I hope the black woman will not waste one romance option.

cuck in every situation

Wut?

you just get possessed/turn into a Chaos Spawn.

Can you fuck the chaos spawn?

I pray for a Tau companion. RT have the rules for one, utilize it for DH

For anyone believing all Inquisitors are complete loyalists puritans

Ahmazzi is the Spectarians' sole Ordo Malleus Inquisitor. He is a grizzled and ancient veteran, close on three hundred standard years old, whose career has taken him from Titan to the very edges of the Imperium, hunting down daemons and the corrupt humans who summon them. Now all but decrepit, he has come to the Calixis Sector to, as he puts it, "bask in the radiance of the Tyrant Star and learn its secrets." A long career has left Ahmazzi intensely cynical and pessimistic. He has come to believe that the Emperor is dead, Chaos cannot be stopped and the human race is doomed.

No one believed that

There's proof in this very thread.

Yeah, the Inquisitor hunting Inquisitors must be some kind of accidental bureacratic anomaly.

Don't forget civilian: doubt is the first step toward heresy. And heresy… is the first step toward damnation.

you can fuck anything with a hole

one character slot wasted on generic random black woman

Why? And ffs at least make her look exotic, cool or appealing in some way, like she belongs in the setting, instead of resting bitch-face mcgee you randomly found on the street somewhere in reality. This could've been another cool xenos or whatever, but nah, gotta represent for the 5 people out there who pretend they want to have a generic black woman on their team in WARHAMMER 40.000: DARK HERESY

Who cares about retarded tertiaries. They will screech and mald the same way they did with rogue trader when someone will refuse to suck their dick

b-b-b-b-b-but muh warrant

b-b-b-b-b-but muh rosette

You already have two xenos. One is Kroot. What more do you want from that aspect?

xenos

cool

generic random black woman

You don't know anything about her. Just say that you hate niggers instead of wasting your time on writing a 200 words essay on why the chaarcter you know nothing about is "le random" and "le generic". That would at least be funny and honest

Inquisition is an org that enforces rules its own members are allowed to bend or break. No summoning daemons or the Inquisitor will sic his sick daemonhost on the summoner. Someone is in cahoots with some xenos for that sweet tech? An Inquisitor will disappear him and give the tech to his Votann bro for examination. Someone said the Emperor is not a god and called him a sack of shit? A non-believer Inquisitor might put him and hundreds of others on a trial before burning everyone if he doesn't get lynched sooner.
Oh yeah, and Inquisitors infight, judge or put targets on each other a lot because they all have personalized standards of what constitutes as acceptable level of heresy in their ranks.

If we're lucky, we get female tech priest romance option.

I'm more interested in how they will rework the archetype system desu. They probably won't ditch it entirely for the sake of adopting the second edition DH, but surely we'll have more archetypes than the one we got in RT.

And exactly with yirlet she comes aboard only if i want to stick my dick inside of her. That's it.

100% Psyker becomes an archetype

For some reason they always have a black woman companion and she is also never romance option, well I doubt anyone would seriously romance someone like Idira or Seela anyway. Wasted slot I agree.

They basically confirmed that

I honestly don't see that happening. I think they will make it so that each background has branches like the psyker backgorund does, so that even the people with the same background feel different to play. They are already doing it with arbites background in RT. Also hoping for more backgrounds and homeplanets

He's right though. This is 40K, she could have half of her face being covered in tubes or augments or something, some kind of tattoos or jewelry. Literally anything to make her less generic. Or attractive at the bare minimum.

Is it still on Unity?

Cool, bring on the unique xenos.

DH is the fully voiced game they were talking about, right? You can expect everything to be 200% streamlined to appeal to normalfags then.

You say that the nameless Banshee Exarch beheading a Space Marine Chapter Master in a duel after she slaughters his honour guard isn't cool?

new game mechanic is fear

trailer has a Night Lord without star of chaos

Wish we get not a stereotypical CSM companion who is obsessed with chaos stuff and discount Talos instead

They are already going back on the 100% voiced crap in some of the recent leddit posts, so hopefully not

We have not seen overseer yet, but Psykerl and actual abilities compete with the function of the archetype unlike other origins.
The fact that you get its talent from the common pool too makes it easier to go all in and have a stronger version of the character.
Making it an archetype solves that. More easily than retooling everything else

You already have two and likely will get one more.
And again, pretty sure Kroots have not be playable in any WH game so far.
What the fuck more do you want?

That never happens. In reality you get stories like the night lords trilogy where they kill the banshee phoenix lord and then have a dreadnought stomp on her corpse to rub it in.

man, you really have to go back

They added a kroot EXACTLY because the reproductive biology is geared towards semi-goofy pg13 sex scene. I WILL massage that raptor girl, and I will do it for the Emperor.

This. It's all fuckheads here care about despite every single romance in every crpg being surface level and taking resources that could be spent in areas that actually matter. Not that Owlcat can ever make writing work.

Leldar are the designated punching bag

eldars show their slaaneshitic roots by getting reborn like that one annoying armour face chaos nigga

I don't like cheaters

But moooom, I want 3 favors of Noble origin, one who barks orders like the current one, one being a sniper cause he went hunting and one who specifically Masters 1 hand only sword fighting cause of dueling

Doubt it. Why would a DH game get more than two when we only had two xenos for RT?

At least this game will feature ogryns, unlike Rogue Trader

but Psykerl and actual abilities compete with the function of the archetype

Depends on the archetype. Warrior works really well with some psyker disciplines, so does soldier, though to a lesser extent. But sure, The only reason I would choose any other archetype for a psyker background is for flavour. And I fucking love flavour

Sounds great actually. I wanna be a fatbastard master sniper like my brother Janrok

Seelah would have been a more popular romance than Sosiel

Not if sosiel was a girl. Imagine

So the nigger female token character will not be romanceable because never have been e.g. Idira, ghetto "paladin". The Kroot will be platonic at best. This must mean they have at least two proper romanceable females in the oven. Looking good lads.

You might be surprised, Deathwatch: Swordwind:

She emerges from the light like the spirit of vengeance made manifest. Her armour is powder white, coiled tight around her lithe musculature. Ivy iconography slides and twists over the plates like living smoke. From her shoulders trail banners of flowing vermilion silk like blood-drenched wings, matching the crested mane of her screaming war helm. She bears a crackling power glaive, its crystalline blade singing as it carves the air. She soars towards Magyar, at the altar’s apex.

Togin is a Mortifactor without peer, having served for a century in Magyar’s elite guard. In Posul’s last nights, Togin slaughtered over a thousand of the Leviathan swarm, allowing the surviving companies to withdraw.

Althanax bears the Chapter banner. He has carried it through every crusade of the Mortifactors’ First Company for the last two centuries. The skulls of every race and wicked bastion of Mankind’s enemies clatter from his plate on dense black chains.

These are the warriors at Magyar’s side as the war maiden descends. These are the warriors she kills before touching the ground. Their bifurcated remains crash to the flagstones like tolling bells. The Chapter banner falls, its fabric drinking the blood of champions that empties onto the stone.

The eldar exarch tilts her head, regarding Magyar, before whipping blood from her glaive. The Chapter Master stoops, gathering the fallen banner and lashing it to his armour like a cloak. He activates his massive war scythe with a hiss of coruscating lightning, and the two clash.

You're right, I even forgot Sosiel existed. I mostly just ignored him and shit talked him whenever I could. Truly fucking salvageable character. Even Regill shit talks him.

SOSIel

is gay

Wowie

...

I turn my head to see Magyar duel the exarch above the melee. He attacks in blurring combinations, martial prowess alloyed with volcanic fury. The exarch flows around his attacks like quicksilver.

Magyar slashes low, a disembowelling strike the exarch evades with a flourishing backflip. Landing in a crouch, she counters with an upward slash, severing Magyar’s scythe in two, barely missing the Chapter Master’s head with a horizontal reverse strike.

Magyar drops the smoking halves of his scythe, reaching for the gladius at his hip. But his grip falters, and the weapon falls away. My eyes widen as bright blood sheets down from his gorget.

She had not missed. With a sound like a Titan falling, Magyar drops to his knees. His head trembles, and rolls off his shoulders. His body pitches forward, and his blood joins that of his champions in pulsing sprays.

‘No!’ I scream.

The exarch strides to the altar’s edge and raises her arm. Clutched in her fist is Magyar’s head, shedding the last of its lifeblood from severed arteries. She holds it aloft for all to see, and releases it. It tumbles down, bouncing against the timeworn steps before disappearing from sight.

To be fair, I understand you because in some slop Eldar are just retarded and weak.

Night Lords look on chaos worship with disdain. I guarantee that Night Lord dude in the trailer is just there on vacation because the tyrant star exhudes suffering on the masses.

40000

As it should be.

What are the chances that we can employ him as more or less neutral inquisitor?
t. Totally not a radical.

Yep i honestly wanted to ram her since my first playtrough too bad for ???? reasons i can't. I mean the only time i could colonize and do virtue signaling they botch it. I need to understand the reasoning behind that.

Maybe she is one of those pre-made characters like the Barbarian chick in Kingmaker? I never understood the reason for not making them romance options.

She is an iconic yes

This must mean they have at least two proper romanceable females in the oven. Looking good lads.

What the fuck makes you think that? These are the female companions they chose to prioritize and highlight. You consider that a good thing? This fucking retarded shill excuse of "these are only the companions that are most important to the devs and get the most content, don't worry there's throwaway waifus later" is so fucking backwards. Stop being stupid.

That would be fun. Just show up with a Night Lord traitor marine in tow because reasons.

Its a shame Argenta wasn't romance options, retarded girls are cute.

And? I think even if you play the tabletop as a veteran dm i would give the option of one of my player to fuck her if he goes for it. A character is a character. I was mad ALSO for the barbarian girl because i like snu snu girls. This is so stupid.

why are you so emotional?

Didn't these guys just do Rogue Trader, how are they making a new game like every 2 years?

And?

I don't know, I'm as confused as you are why they are sticking to their guns with this one.

Reusing engine and assets helps

The 4th dlc for rt is at least 2 years away given their current schedule. Does this mean DH release is even further away? I doubt they'll release it when rt is still getting content

They released RT while Wrath was getting content

Why are you such an apologist?

What makes you think that?`DH alpha is probably by the end of the year and release is 2026.

But this is basically rt 2, they will eat into each others sales

profit factor lost 82

ARGENTAAAAAA

Imaginary gf is all the intimacy he's ever gonna get, so he's a bit cranky now

that anon was right though. you had no argument and all you did was being emotional and lashing out.

Doubtful

500 dev team spread out over multiple games, good use of resources

This is what you get for putting a girl with 0 Commerce skill in charge

Oh wait maybe is the white man on black woman? Same reason because in haven you can't be white man with black woman but just lsb instead you can be black male on white woman?

They fucked over fags with the last one, now its their turn, sorry bro.

This was not uncommon at all during 90s to early 2010 though. New modern AAA shit takes extremely long to make, these games are not AAA games though.

owlkeks cant release a dlc without breaking half a game

we're supposed to think they can now release 3 games bug free that they're working on concurrently

lol, lmao even

Do they use slave labor or something? Something just doesn't check out here

no argument

Learn to fucking read, dumbass. This is the part of the roster they CHOSE to highlight and prioritize. No waifus. You think waifus are a priority for them? Use your fucking brain. You seriously think the companions that can't even get a spot on promo material will have as much development and content as this pet negress sausagefest?

They have the same amount of people as larian, but work on multiple process at once

Also it's obvious that there are parts of the previous games in the new ones.

were the two previous two black female characters romanceable or not?

Considering they also have ADB himself write a novel that apparently has Night Lords set the story in motion I say it is non negotiable that they HAVE TO get Wincott to be the voice of at least one Night Lord. He is THE voice of the 8th legion and he already did some voices in Space Marine 2 as Night Lord and Darktide as some enemy. So it's not out of the realm of possibility.

They're gonna crash and burn within 5 years and will end up being bought out by chink. Unless they are a front for money laundering operation, in which case they'll keep going untill there's money to launder

Depends on a Nignog band. You have les wholesome Talos & dudes who are still friends with their Khornepilled comrade they can't put out of his misery and who snarl at their daemon-possessed captain they do nothing about. Or you have the guys from that novel about Space Sharks fighting them, where their leadership is torn between the traditionalist commander and the sorcerer who thinks his brothers are hypocritical fools and that they should sell their souls and asses to Chaos wholly like he did.

Not sure why they're being so obtuse. Just compare the art to spot the issue.

I wish Ekun was romanceable. My baroness ended up being a femcel virgin because nobody wanted to fuck her
