Who was the best companion in Rogue Trader and why was it Abelard?

What a manlet

Idirafag

Opinion disregarded

You keep my sister's name out of your goddamn mouth

Idira is cool and i really don't get why people hate her so much.

But any reasonable and responsible Rogue Trader would execute her on the spot!

And i don't get why people would want to play a reasonable and responsible Rogue Trader.

Rogue Trader

reasonable and responsible

Do people think Rogue Traders are Inquisitors or something? Keeping a wild psyker is in character.

Idirafags can't even begin to fathom that not everyone likes to play a reckless retard like them

Idira is cool and i really don't get why people hate her so much.

Because she's black but unironically

is it true that only the first part of this game is voice acted?

Keeping a wild psyker is in character

Trust me, Inquisitors do shit that's way more whacky

Prologue is fully voice acted now I think. Everything else varies.

this thread

iconofags revealing themselves

dogmatics don't care for Idira as they should instantly turn her over or kill her
heretics love her because chaos lmao
Only iconofags talk about her being "dangerous"

Correct, I was talking about the purists.
Just like how Owlcat announced a Dark Heresy game and half the reactions were

SAAR WHY ALIEN XENOS SAAR BASED REDPILLED EMPEROR SERVANT WOULD NOT ALLOW HOW DO I KILL THEM SAAR

Didn't care for the rest

I liked Ulfar

You only like him because he's trans

Why did it have to be a furry though

I did a dogmatic run and I just told her to cut that shit and and stop fucking with the warp. Suprisingly, she did, all she needed was to be shut down hard and not babied about it.

Only important parts of the game are voice acted after the prologue

I swear someone must have the other version of this bait edit where it's Cassia saying she's not a virgin

Everyone is so cool it's hard to choose. Best cast in crpg in years. If I had to choose the best one I think I'd lean towards Pasqal

why would a heretic love a psyker that can't control herself and is likely to get their ship murderraped by some other faction's demons? maybe the zealots that have gone full-retard wouldn't care (but even they should care about the 3/4 chance of summoning some other demons), but the inquisitor presumably isn't carving emblems into their forehead and screeching about worshipping khorne or slaanesh or whatever.

only faction that would be dumb enough to tolerate someone like idra are orks.

710835685

I liked Abelard, Pasqal, and Argenta.
I kicked the psyker chick off the ship immediately.
Pretty sure I left in the tutorial system that got eaten by chaos, lol.
Everyone else is just ignored.

Vacant party slots are filled with NPC mercenaries.

chaos in this game seems to mostly be on the ultra retarded side

Look I like dunking on Space Wolves as furries as much as the next guy but Ulfar was really well-done, he even jokes about how every other word out of Space Wolf mouths is some variant of "wolf" if you bring it up

is chaos in general not ultra retarded

chaos in 40k seems to mostly be on the ultra retarded side

ftfy

this desu
I can't think of a situation in 40k where a chaos agent would NOT have Idira around even if she is mostly a pain in the ass

What's she gonna do, cause daemons to be summoned? Oh nooooooooooo we wouldn't want that ;)

So I have already made up my mind that the final dlc listed is about a space hulk and thus we're going to get a Freebooter companion.
But what is the companion before that? What would use implants besides a tech-priest which we already have? A Skitarii?

that's my heckin valid senechal right there

Idira is cool and i really don't get why people hate her so much.

She nukes herself and manifests daemons during fights, so people get pissed off especially if they suck at gaming. She's also doesn't fuck with RT and coomers don't like it

She's also doesn't fuck with RT and coomers don't like it

Why would I EVER want to fuck Idira? lmao

She's also doesn't fuck with RT and coomers don't like it

No one wants to fuck Idira.

I'm betting on a monke. It will be Ork and jokaero in those 2 dlcs.

Let's not bring up the sentient mad scientist space orangutans

She doesn't fuck the RT

That's not why people dislike her.
People dislike her because she's a nigger, annoying, and a walking liability.

I know what you're doing btw.
You're attempting to conflate Idira with best girl.
Nobody here is going to fall for it.

You're attempting to conflate Idira with best girl

But Cassia does fuck you?

censored

Sir, this is Anon Babble

Argenta > all xenos, mutants and heretics in existence

Sometimes serf jannies get triggered even for something as tame as a tiny areola slip, not risking it
Wrong

I think Idira is cute. I'd fuck her if I could.

t. Theodora

She doesn't look like that

Literally too powerful to be a companion. That little ring they have is a fucking lascannon, heavy flamer, and multi-melta at the same time.

Abelard, tell them my pronouns

It's funny how absolutely everybody hates Jae

This is why I think it will a monke

A new companion joins your retinue with a distinct combat style that reshapes battlefield tactics.

Distinct combat style would fit Jokaero. Unless they are saving him for Dark Heresy, he would fit there too since Inquisitors like them.

that reshapes battlefield tactics.

Jokaero reshape battlefield tactics by making it so everything in a 30 mile radius just dies. Their "peaceful" geometric ships they use to travel the stars (through what's basically bullshit science that allows lightspeed without the warp) have, and I quote, "an entire fleet's worth of armaments"

Abelard

Weird way to spell Cassia, who is the cutest companion, always very excited to see me when I talk to her on the bridge, and vaporizes every enemy on screen on the first turn while being impossible to hit even out of cover.

Based

Yeah, secondaries love to invade owlcat threads for some reason

Because these games are made for secondaries

abelard is cool. i like ulfar because im a space marine fag. heinrix VA did a solid job so i like him too.

I'm the biggest Yrliet simp and even I had to stop liking her after act 3

It's either Abelard or Pasqal.

I like Space Marines, but the furries are truly the worst chapter. As if we don't have enough Viking shit in vidya right now.

then you didnt understand her

video games are a secondary 40k hobby

why are people in the videogame threads secondaries?

Further proof people who collect GW plastic figures are completely braindead

This, I was really to like this mysterious Eldar companion, but goddamn it, she's so fucking stupid.

I understand her, and the reasons for her decisions. I just think those reasons and decisions were wrong and retarded.

A real man understand why his wife was having fun with the boys

heinrix VA did a solid job

Which is funny because I think he's like a youtuber or something when not doing VA work

She only did it because high cunt was constantly and deliberately fucking around with heretical shit.

Genuinely agree. After reading his amaranth ending slide I'm leaving his ass in Comorragh every single fucking time.

they're still mad

There was nothing to understand post-act3. It was a ton of build-up for nothing, she never develops any sort of purpose it's just

muh home, muh people

and nothing else, ever. She's the shittiest, most one-dimensional companion in the game.

It's gonna fucking be a Squat

absolutely ZASED.

Is there any romance mod for Vigdis or not yet?

and who sucked the cock of the previous Rogue Trader

Wait a minute. Wasn't the last rogue trader a woman? Don't tell me it was a futa.

While a LoV would be cool, don't see it happening.

Pasqal is stronger than I am... I harbor him no ill will even though I still have a soft spot for Yrliet despite it all.

Genuinely have never seen a character in a game fuck up as badly as she did. Not that I can remember anyway. I would feel way more positively towards her if she had just gotten me and her captured and sent to the torture-rape-experimentation dimension and not my other crew members who then also get fucked up. You can torture me, sure, but don't get Cassia and Pasqal tortured.

yriliet brags about how superior she is to you

techno monkey casually points out how her species couldn’t discover fire on its own and all of their tech is stolen

everyone in your squad gets giga raped

abelard just got old

kek

It was still mental torture, he starts having hallucinations about his wife after you escape, Argenta and Yrliet are the ones who don't suffer

it's just, i remember argenta had an autopistol in her kit when she first arrived on scene, and she'd been with mom around the time she and mort got shot, and she hadn't been shocked by the news of the murder. it all fit together in my head like a three piece jigsaw!

So if these are literally the same genus as the earth orangutan, do we have like...the retards of their species or something here?

It was still mental torture, he starts having hallucinations about his wife after you escape

true, i forgot about that. miss my nigga abelard, will have to do another playthrough sometime soon

the chtonos dicked decades off his lifespan

Will i get a warning for which planet will give him super dementia?

It's at the beginning of act 3, your entire party gets kidnapped in Commorragh
Also not bringing characters so they wont' suffer is for pussies, it build character, do it. Hell you have to bring your romance option if you want the good ending, the game wants you to

theyre a lab-made race, like the orcs and eldars

She was gay for her metaphorical cock, anon. Not everything is literal.

I don’t think they’re the same, probably some genetic or evolutionary fuckery going on. Also I’m pretty sure the Jokaero were made around the time of the War in Heaven so they’re older than some dinosaurs.

Just pass a skill check, bud.

Honestly, just turn skill checks to easy. Failed skill checks aren't even interesting content.

Kain in FF4. Just all of Kain in FF4.
Cloud in FF7 was a complete retard and got baited into the Reunion thinking it was his own thoughts and nearly got everyone killed the first go around in the north.
Macha being a dumbass and not giving the Ravens the full story...twice. The first time I'll give her the benefit of the doubt but she fucking KNEW Angelos the second go around and STILL did the same shit.
Leandros in SM1 getting Titus fed to the Inquisition because "MUH SPACE BOOK"
This is just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's way more stupid shit.
The Inquisitor in BFG2 trying to get you to blow up a craftworld MID 13th black crusade instead of allying with them.
I could probably come up with more but that's off the top of my head.

that fight at the end of act 3

was quite spicy compared to all the other fights up until that point. thank the throne for argenta and the heavy bolter

Abelard's is too sad. I'm fine with my choices leading to my SoB going repentia and whatever else but giving my pal dementia is too far.
Oh, I thought the specific planet was what caused it. Good to know.

Kain in FF4. Just all of Kain in FF4.

Literal mind control

Leandros in SM

Leandros did nothing wrong, just like he did nothing wrong in SM2. He's right to be skeptical. The fact that the player is playing Titus is the only reason we have for not being suspicious of his interactions with Chaos. Any actual imperium members would be right to be skeptical of him.

I finished the game last weekend, and when I got this slide I laughed out loud.

Doesn't excuse bypassing your chapter just becuase you know they'd call you gay.

Leandros did nothing wrong

MUH CODEX

MUH GUILLIMAN

HURR DURR YOU JUST DEFEATED CHAOS AND THE CHAPTER MASTER HIMSELF PRAISED YOU BUT MUH CODEX

Leandros is a fucking shit. I'm glad Titus has real brothers now.

I'm not far into it but so far he is my favourite. I made my Rogue Trader a melee warrior so he and Abelard go rushing into combat together and slaughter motherfuckers left right and centre.
Argenta is okay. Idira is annoying because I find the whole "crazy woman giggles manically but also she's a jokester haha" schtick is grating.
Just recruited Pasqal and he's great so far.

Leandros didn't do anything wrong, that's the point. What he did, what he thinks, and what happens to Titus is the system working as intended. It's 40K, it's not a good place for anyone.

Not everything is literal.

I thought it was. Warhammer's universe is very odd.

You're mostly right but complain too much.
The thing Argenta did is frankly a very small part of her character, it's significant to the story but doesn't really define her personality at all. She's fine.
Not sure what your problem with Heinrix is either, he's an inquisitor and that's what he does. He's a fucking dork. What did you want, a side story about his hobbies?
Of course you treat Cassia with kid gloves, she's a kid. She's a sheltered young girl. Don't get why you'd complain about that, you know what you're getting.
And as you said, Pasqal Ulfar and Abelard are bros.

You can have a max of 5 companions at once. That's 6 who are at least pretty good.
Meanwhile, Idira you just turn over to Heinrix at your earliest convenience so she's a non-issue. Marazhai isn't even available as a companion if you're not an idiot, you just kill him like any other enemy NPC.
So the only problem is Jae because she's kind of annoying. I'd say that's not a bad record for RT's companions overall.

inquisition should be able to just step on the toes of the space marines whenever they want with no justifiable reason

also please ignore the inquisitor himself was corrupt and fell to chaos

also please ignore the chapter master himself was pissed off

Leandros is a little shit.

It's because she feels like she came from another setting. In a setting where the warp is constantly threatening to kill everyone and fuck their corpses, having a unstable warp shaman hanging around just makes no fucking sense. If this was a Pathfinder game having a mage party member that communes with spirits wouldn't be an issue. In this case it's playing an RPG about being a fireman and being offered a companion who randomly lights things on fire.

Cassia is 20, she's not a kid. And you don't treat her with "kid gloves" unless you want an ending where she most likely ends up dead

soldier+arch-militant pyro

this shouldnt work as well as it does. run n gun lets you cast 2 abilities, all the crit bonuses work for the burn, and versatility is easy to crank up with kick and single/aoe abilities to get absurd armor and dodge

He called the inquisition on his captain for doing what was effectively the same shit Calgar and the others do on a regular basis. And created a massive organizational shitstorm for the chapter.

Any actual imperium members would be right to be skeptical of him

But he wasn’t just skeptical, he reported him to the group that would have led to the most fucked up outcome instead of keeping it in house. There are protocols in place to deal with this shit among the Astartes. Leandros didn’t give a shit about doing what was right he wanted to spite Titus because he told him to stop being a book humping boy scout.

also please ignore the inquisitor himself was corrupt and fell to chaos

Dumb retcon made to appease the fans.

Cassia is 20, she's not a kid.

And the chapter and inquisition deemed the result to be titus sent to the deathwatch and leandros promoted to chapter chaplain.
Sounds like the inquisition and chapter approved of what leandros did after everything was all said and done.

High Factotum is the best companion

fat bastard

extremely diligent and good at his job

secretly super nice and generous with his own money but doesn't brag about it

willing to risk his life and die for (you)r honor

nerves of steel on the battlefield even though he's a desk jockey

Except the Chapter had little say given they had to deal with the Inquisition and that wasn’t what they wanted but rather the best result in a terrible situation. You’re trying to spin the inquisition basically cajoling them as some kind of mutual agreement. Calgar himself said he was furious over what happened but given how he didn’t want a Months of Shame situation on his hands he found it best to send Titus off and hope to get him back at another time which just so happened to be after Bobby G came back and started verbally and not so verbally slapping up retards like Leandros.

If they didn't like it so much why was Leandros promoted?

you argument doesn't count because I don't like it

A retcon implies that it changed details. The inquisitor was already presented as overreaching when he took a captain of a space marine chapter into custody the way he did (these matters are handled internally) and the rest of the details were given after the game to bridge the gap between SM1 and SM2.
So again, Leandros is a little shit.

That’s not really a promotion, he’s not out fighting or getting glory. He’s basically the janny of the chapter. His job is to constantly mill over details and looks for problems. No one will know of his deeds and no one will ever truly trust him. Not to mention it’s his job to write the script on all the purity seals. He wanted to be the one that “upheld the codex” now he can do that for as long as he lives while Titus and the others fight and do actual shit for the emperor.

Sweet I was thinking about picking this game up after seeing it on sale but I have a few questions

Can I be a complete asshole in the game and nigger shit from npcs?

Is space travel shown?

How open ended are the objectives and how big are the zones?

inquisition should be able to just step on the toes of the space marines whenever they want with no justifiable reason

Yes actually. Space Marines are the least trustworthy military force in the Imperium

also please ignore the inquisitor himself was corrupt and fell to chaos

And he was supposed to know that how?

also please ignore the chapter master himself was pissed off

So incredibly pissed off that Leandros was promoted.

The chapter had no say what happened to Titus.
Inquisitor took Titus and tortured and experimented on him, once the inquisitor's own heretical fuckery was exposed and he got executed for it, Titus was freed, but believing that his chapter was ashamed of him (they weren't, they had no idea what had been done to him because the inquisitor kept it under wraps since he was a corrupt fucker) Titus joined the deathwatch as a blackshield.
Also nobody in chapter command knew Leandros' involvement in the shitstorm. And it's been 100 years, that's enough time for a guy to earn his reputation back.

Space Marines are the least trustworthy military force in the Imperium

Tell that to the Armageddon Steel Legion.

Oooh nooooo! Everybody hate the lawful neutral guy!

No I don't think I will

lawful

goes against the actual procedures and laws because he's made he got made fun of for being a book autist

lawful

Leandros will never recover.

the book he's being an autist about IS the law

It’s literally not, the guy who wrote it says it’s just a guideline and not some kind of sacred text.

That’s not really a promotion

Maximum cope. Chaplains are greatly honoured and respected.

His job is to constantly mill over details and looks for problems.

Sounds like the perfect job for him.

No one will know of his deeds and no one will ever truly trust him.

Chaplains are among the most trusted of the chapter. They're in charge of spiritual well-being, inspiring the troops and indoctrinating neophytes.

Titus and the others fight and do actual shit for the emperor.

You think Chaplains don't fight? They lead more from the front than Captains do. If anything you're making him sound more noble since he wouldn't be a retarded gloryhound.
He might eventually advance to Master of Sanctity and become one of the ruling council of the chapter, equivalent to 1st Captain in rank.

>Can I be a complete asshole in the game and nigger shit from npcs?

You can personally execute or order the execution of half the cast, condemning some specifically to fates worse than death. You can kill/torture/sacrifice billions if you wish.

>Is space travel shown?

Not really. You fly a ship icon on a solar system map and warp to different solar systems on an abstracted map.

>How open ended are the objectives and how big are the zones?

Acts 1, 3 and 5 are very linear both in exploration and mission structure. Act 2 and 4 are effectively freeroam but when you're on foot there's usually a few side paths with loot or optional encounters but nothing crazy.

And I’m sold. Thanks a ton anon

Literally too powerful to be a companion.

RT party already can take down a Primarch or Daemon Prince, so who cares...
Wait wait wait, hear me out
Missing Primarch companion

Maximum cope. Chaplains are greatly honoured and respected

They’re really not, they have authority but no one trusts them. They’re basically the sign that something fucked up is happening or going to happen.

Sounds like the perfect job for him

For how he acts being a little faggot? Yes, but it’s not what he wants.

Chaplains are among the most trusted of the chapter. They're in charge of spiritual well-being, inspiring the troops and indoctrinating neophytes

They’re really not, they’re seen a necessary evil, they are tolerated but not considered to be on the same level given they have the power to just erase you. This differs from chapter to chapter but the UM Chaplains definitely don’t have the trust.

You think Chaplains don't fight? They lead more from the front than Captains do. If anything you're making him sound more noble since he wouldn't be a retarded gloryhound

No I’m pointing out how he can’t be a gloryhoud like he wants. But since you can’t argue that you have to twist my words. Honestly I have no idea where faggots like you spawned from almost everyone was saying what a fag Leandros was fro the past decade and then all of a sudden retards like you crawled out of the wood works and started defending him. Is it the authority? Do you think a title and rank stop him from being a petulant faggot that basically screwed over someone stronger and better than him?

Is it the authority?

No, contrarianism
