#

I think I'm starting to get it

crystal forum
#

and i dont think there's any way to respec skill points which is a huge L

green loom
#

Coming from their pathfinder games

#

This is way better lol

crystal forum
#

how

green loom
#

Just go to the Factotum guy

queen laurel
#

high Factotum man

#

Ask for training

green loom
#

"My companions and I need training"

queen laurel
#

and you can select yourself or one of your crew members

green loom
#

It won't let you change your base archetype

#

But you can change the second one you get

#

I swapped from Vanguard to Master Tactician

#

And you also reset all your skills

queen laurel
#

I respect mine into better brute strength builds

#

Yeah if you don't want the way you are right now you can change it very easily and it doesn't cost anything

crystal forum
#

also dont you just love it when you click somewhere and a trap suddenly gives 3 traumas to all your team members

queen laurel
#

my character has the perception of a deaf bat

crystal forum
#

no i mean after you've spotted it

#

your team still walks into them

queen laurel
#

You can control where your group will go when it pauses

#

So you can select one member who is good at you know deactivating traps by maneuvering them around the red line

#

That's what I usually do when the game warns me about traps

crystal forum
#

yeah and if you dont microcontrol that trap person they walk into the damn trap

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

is it that hard to make the pathfinding avoid traps

#

divinity 2 does it

queen laurel
#

yeah this game can be finicky at times but it makes it rewarding

crystal forum
#

one thing i find cute about the game is how it'll show you achievements every time you reload a save

#

but you also dont get achievements until you reload a save

queen laurel
#

Yeah the achievement tracking in this game is a bit fucked

#

But considering owlcat history this is actually one of the better releases they have

#

So hey it works good enough for me

crystal forum
#

of course the lore and the story are impeccable

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

the fact that they let you recruit somebody from pretty much all sides of the imperium

crystal forum
queen laurel
#

The preset one that is a space wolf

crystal forum
#

at least he isn't an ultramarine

#

and we might get DLC's

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

in fact im willing to bet a DLC will be specifically focused on space marines

green loom
#

Prolly not

#

Although

#

Having one about helping a new one settle down would he pretty cool

crystal forum
#

ork mercenary definitely fits in the recent GW vibes

green loom
#

Orks in general probably

#

At least Ork spacecraft

#

Owlcat has a habit of DLC integration so they'd probably fit in fine

queen laurel
green loom
#

You have an Ork skull on your desk too

queen laurel
#

yep

green loom
#

It's just too obvious of a DLC knowing Owlcat

queen laurel
#

An entire cross off area with a giant ork skull

crystal forum
#

game says it's a xenos skull as if the jaw and the teeth arent the second most recognizable species in 40k

green loom
#

Shush KEKW_ogryn

mystic crown
#

Guys, any guess of what is happening with Zola ?

The way the secret mission goes, its kinda sus, Rannick looks to be aware of something.

Is she parts of the Genestealer or something ?

#

Or is she just sus asf because she's crazy about killing Wolfer ( wich i don't think )

green loom
mystic crown
#

Oh ok

mystic crown
#

Hmmmm...

green loom
#

Potentially some background stuff
Probably just feels bad about him getting away under her watch

mystic crown
#

I see

celest dome
green loom
#

He's a Captain of the Moebian 6th

#

Who are seemingly all Atoman

storm jungle
#

Yeah they are all local

#

as his speech says they have returned "home"

green loom
#

And he tells the people of Tertium that "We are your sons and daughters, and we have come home!"

storm jungle
#

jinx

#

lol

green loom
#

Jinx dn

#

Also Dilara I managed to soft lock myself out of Chapter 3 KEKW_ogryn

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

post-commorragh

green loom
#

I can't get there frowncat

#

Not enough navigator insight

#

Going to have to toybox it tomorrow

queen laurel
#

if you're already at this part

#

may the god emperor bless your soul

green loom
#

I hope I can fix it with fkn toybox lol

queen laurel
#

Just turn my character into an absolute unit from the start and then demolish anything that breaths

velvet imp
#

I am a bit curious, is Jae's accent ment to be french?

wet sandal
#

I think

#

Anyway, I just listened to a guy talk about the ergonomics of a forgefiend, nothing will surprise me anymore

crystal forum
#

man

#

tzeentch worshipers are so frickin annoying

#

they act like they literally can't lose but then i shoot them in the face

rocky gale
#

You see, you shooting them in the face is part of their plan

#

So they still win

crystal forum
#

see this is why i prefer fighting the other chaos gods' worshipers or even chaos undivided

green loom
#

At least they just want to try and kill you and actually do win regardless of how said fight goes

wet sandal
#

All I'm surrounded by is fear. And dead men.

celest dome
#

It's very funny when you face Tzeentchian Cultist, and release some Hounds of Khorne

vale fjord
#

Would ogryns and orks make good friends considering they both like to fight and kill stuff (well mostly heretics for ogryns)

storm jungle
#

no because orks are very racist

#

they respect strenght but thats about it

velvet imp
vale fjord
velvet imp
#

Crime Lord passive is such a great passive that can be used for Warrior, Soldier, and Operative

queen laurel
velvet imp
#

You can get Kill Plan for Warrior to always refresh the plan buff while getting massive DPS boost from WS

queen laurel
#

they are strong and they are good fight that's about it

velvet imp
#

or have Escape Plan to always refresh as a Soldier by dodge and gain massive dodge boost from AGI

queen laurel
#

Safe to assume my character is winning this war of attrition

vale fjord
#

Dilara every race is RACIST!!!!

#

Especially the adeptus astartes

storm jungle
#

lmao

vale fjord
#

Which chapter legion is the most racist come to think of it

velvet imp
#

and you will always have a Plan if you pick Contingency Plan passive

storm jungle
#

they are literally based on templars who were

#

you know

#

extremely xenophobic to muslims

velvet imp
#

it is also a Origin passive that can maintain due to always refreshing

#

compared to most Origin passives that can only be used once per combat

green loom
#

Is it just toughness spam

velvet imp
rocky gale
#

I thought the Black Templars were based off the Teutonic Knights, who were incredibly xenophobic against the Baltic pagans, so it's completely different. yesgryn

velvet imp
#

so you can make a very tanky character with high attack output

velvet imp
#

but debuffers will remain a must have in your party like all RPGs

#

later fights just make enemies annoying with stats no matter the difficulty level

green loom
#

I've got "it will not die" on basically everyone lol

rocky gale
#

It's important to be precise as to which genocidal maniacs our genocidal maniacs are based off yesgryn

queen laurel
#

With this I can basically face tank just about everything I am literally face tanking missiles from a literal defiler

queen laurel
#

I wanted to make a tank that can throw a beluga whale at a tower and i made it

green loom
coarse pumice
#

is there a stat cap in RT?

rocky gale
#

Either 99 or 100

#

But it's effectively 99

#

Because in it's dice system 100 is a crit fail

coarse pumice
#

I can't increase BS for some reason

green loom
#

That's just to keep you from dumping those I think

rocky gale
#

I think you can only take it a certain number of times at certain levels

#

Once you're a higher level with the other classes you'll be able to upgrade it again

green loom
#

Ideally you'll be getting your characteristics from a mix of that and items

rocky gale
#

It's just so you don't dump everything into a stat right away, get it to 100 and then never fail a roll

velvet imp
#

so keep in mind about the limit and pick a different stat you will use once you cap that limit for specific ones

dusk patrol
#

Early game they just give you massive bonuses in a lot of tests

summer mural
#

is an ogryn stronger than the average space marine in armor

#

physically

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Yes they’re stronger

#

And can rip marines apart in melee if they get a hold of them

#

Marines are just faster and more skilled

#

Better equip

#

But Ogryns are very very effective in melee still

#

There’s a short where an Custodes during the blood game has to briefly fight an Ogryn in hand to hand combat without his armor and it’s a struggle strength wise

#

Although it’s still not much of a fight because the speed and skill gap

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

They’re pretty damn nuts

#

There’s a reason charonites were the IA’s answer to dealing with legions in melee during the Heresy

velvet imp
dusk patrol
#

It’s entirely possible

velvet imp
#

still most likely we may have to start a new game for those DLCs since they may require us to begin accessing them at chapter 1 or chapter 2

#

has Owlcat consider New Game+?

green loom
#

It'll be a bit before we get to dlcs

#

Earliest one drops next summer

dusk patrol
#

They’ve already said the first wave

rocky gale
#

quite a few of the DLC's for Wrath and Kingmaker were separate campaigns

dusk patrol
#

Assassin in like june or something

green loom
#

Arbites after that

dusk patrol
#

Arbites later on yeah

velvet imp
dusk patrol
#

Imo they’re probably gonna do the classes which were in the RT game already

#

Also as expansions

velvet imp
#

but currently it is only Rogue Trader Campaign

dusk patrol
#

So Ork, Tau, Kroot

velvet imp
#

so I am assuming they have several more campaigns in mind and maybe a full expansion experience one

#

maybe a Inquisitor Campaign as well if possible

dusk patrol
#

And other modified dudes like maybe a gland warrior

#

Plus just extra classes

#

We’ll see though but that’s what I’m guessing

velvet imp
dusk patrol
#

Yeah

velvet imp
#

provides more replay value

dusk patrol
#

And new starts and stuff

storm jungle
#

Which ngl id love

rocky gale
#

If it's like the Pathfiner games then people will mod in whatever class/subclass Owlcat don't add

velvet imp
#

so it can also be a possible Expansion as well

dusk patrol
#

That doesn’t mean Inquisition

#

It’s Rogue Trader the game

velvet imp
rocky gale
storm jungle
#

Yep

green loom
#

You know

velvet imp
#

I'm talking about possible expansion focusing on a new Campaign that still use everything in Rogue Trader mechanics.

green loom
#

Imagine they do something bold

storm jungle
#

If this makes a lot if bank they’re deffo gonna do other Fantasy Flight titles

green loom
#

Like a short freebootaz campaign

#

Lmao

dusk patrol
#

I would not be surprised if they do Dark Heresy, Black Crusade, Only War, or Deathwatch down the line seeing as this seems to be a very successful game and it’s easy to port the system over.

green loom
dusk patrol
#

Or a mix of any of those

#

Since that’s always been the strength of FFG

#

It’s really easy to borrow stuff from any of their rpgs

storm jungle
#

Honestly as long as the plots are good im onboard

dusk patrol
#

And use it in whichever one you want

rocky gale
dusk patrol
#

I’ve had campaigns where the dm had us switch characters going from Rogue Trader to Only War to Dark Heresy to Deathwatch to Black Crusade

#

Keeping a similar thread

velvet imp
green loom
rocky gale
#

Yea they're vaguely compatible, it's just different power scale and stats

dusk patrol
#

Which is an easy adjustment

velvet imp
#

stand alone expansion are a old style of handling expansions for people who only want to play X or Y expansion without needing base game

dusk patrol
#

Idk, the main thing is I doubt they’re gonna make an Inquisition game in Rogue Trader, they might have it linked heavily to an Inquisitor or whatever

#

But they’re smart enough to know they can milk this cow

versed ledge
#

So I was playing rogue trader, and I gotta ask. Why are there so many people inside the ship's chapel?

dusk patrol
#

But the theme will probably still be RT

green loom
dusk patrol
#

There’s tens of thousands of people on these ships

#

Or more

green loom
#

Also mandatory attendance

versed ledge
#

Yeah 26000, that's a ridiculous amount of personnel for a frigate

green loom
#

Aside from that there's a LOT of genuine devotees since they're raised into it

versed ledge
green loom
#

Ya

dusk patrol
#

And when you’re in the warp it’s kinda one of your best bets for some comfort

#

Warp travel sucks

green loom
#

Like it's commented on multiple times across the game

versed ledge
#

Just some spicy rift in space, that may or may not be hell itself

green loom
#

The Koronus expanse is filled with criminals and pirates

#

But very few of them are heretics

#

And most still worship the Emperor

versed ledge
#

Blaspheme against the emperor, and even criminals will gut you.. imperials are weird

green loom
#

Yes!

tough haven
#

So In RT, I didnt interfere in Pascal's quarrel with the governor, and he said he will only accompany me within the current system, is that true? Because I really like his character

versed ledge
#

Chose one option that was border line insulting the imperial creed, even the traitor dude said to mind my tongue

tough haven
green loom
#

Just keep going

velvet imp
#

made for war and exploration

#

and this is 40K era

rocky gale
#

Most of the crew for the ships are born and live their entire lives on them

velvet imp
#

the Age of technology is said to be much bigger and more advanced

tough haven
# green loom Just keep going

I assumed it was a thing where the character says "I'll only take you this far" but then takes a liking to your party or something, but I wanted to ask just in case I'd have to reload a save

green loom
#

I'll only say circumstances change

velvet imp
#

heck the Baneblade, the imperium strongest tank, was literally a Scout tank for the Age of Technology as a example

#

their actual battle tanks was hinted to be bigger and have more firepower

rocky gale
#

Pretty sure that's just a meme

versed ledge
velvet imp
#

they make a lot of tasteless foods to feed the mass and then there is corpse starch

#

no one likes corpse starch

#

but it is easy to make because they literally just need to grind up dead people into corpse starch

#

and with the population of the Imperium, they have plenty of bodies to use as material

urban spire
#

dead people aren't made directly into corpse starch afaik, the process puts them at one step removed

#

it's algae or something

#

soylent green type beat

rocky gale
#

Plus the RT generally doesn't care if the majority of the people on the lower decks do starve

urban spire
#

no they need that crew

velvet imp
#

in short, do not expect much common sense and morale in 40K era

dense salmon
rocky gale
#

They do, but they also arrange purges and assign squads that are tasked with keeping populations in check

dense salmon
#

If a planet is under siege and can't get supplies and exhausts its resources

#

That's when corpse starch is used

velvet imp
#

the Imperium fell far from how the Emperor wanted it to be design all thanks the Erebus and his plotting from behind the scenes to cause the Horus Heresy

urban spire
#

really, REALLY shitty places also have corpse starch as a staple

#

like the necromunda underhive

velvet imp
#

remember the saying "everyone hates Erebus for a reason"

rocky gale
#

So if the crew in the lower decks start starving the Command staff would probably just see it as an indication that the lower decks have been breeding too much.

dusk patrol
#

All party members will have clear ways to stay with you despite what they say

velvet imp
#

unless you choose to kick them out once you reach chapter 2

#

or do something that will kill them

green loom
#

"Hello, Inquisition? I'd like to file a report"

#

"Do you take live Xenos?"

tough haven
#

Hmm, I'm trying to make abelard a tank type character, but I cant seem to stop from giving him a melee and a pistol, but I dont want him to be an arch militant I'm not really sure what kind of build to make him, loadout wise

queen laurel
tough haven
#

Swords are a solid choice, but it seems like an option for characters with lower parry chances, since without a sword he's up to around 90%

tough haven
tough haven
#

Why thunder hammers

queen laurel
#

So the more strength you have the farther the enemy will go

tough haven
#

Dont you want enemies to be in melee with you as a melee character though?

queen laurel
tough haven
#

so you can trigger opportunity attacks?

queen laurel
#

Thunder hammers also have ridiculous armor piercing

#

And of course with the area attack you can hit multiple enemies that are around you

#

In general power weapons are amazing

#

They have good area coverage and have amazingly high armor piercing

#

Making them good weapons to give to tanks especially if there thunder hammers or the power mauls

tough haven
#

Btw Is rapid fire a good ability for a burst fire soldier? I'm not really sure how to use it

dusk patrol
#

He can be a tank as Arch Militant

#

Arch Militant is a fucking monster

tough haven
#

Yeah but I planned to make a arch militant out of a different character

queen laurel
#

Abelard is just good

dusk patrol
#

Basically

tough haven
#

Like does this translate into a damage increase? just seems like a gambling perk

dusk patrol
#

It doubles the amount of shots

green loom
#

And turns your burst into even more of an area attack

dusk patrol
#

If you have high enough bonuses it doesn’t matter

#

Also the heroic skill will be able to completely empty your mag

green loom
#

My Argenta has become so accurate that I have to target specific enemies KEKW_ogryn

dusk patrol
#

If you get the one holy bolter shell or whatever thing for her

tough haven
#

Btw can you make your character a tech priest? Wondering for future runs

dusk patrol
#

Not really

green loom
#

Bit like

#

My burst fire doesn't deviate from the centre line anymore

queen laurel
#

But that's about it

dusk patrol
#

You can make them a bit more tech and mechanicum aligned

#

But nothing like Pascal

tough haven
dusk patrol
#

Yeah

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

It has some useful abilities but it’s not gonna make you a tech priest

tough haven
tough haven
#

maybe in a future dlc

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

You’re still a Rogue Trader at the end of the day

dusk patrol
tough haven
#

I thought you could more or less do both

dusk patrol
#

Not in the RPG

queen laurel
tough haven
#

Thats fair

dusk patrol
#

Each character is a distinct class

queen laurel
#

In the future

tough haven
dusk patrol
#

Pascal is the Explorator Magos

tough haven
#

lmk if you find anything

#

I just wanted to be tech priest pals with Pascal

dusk patrol
#

So far almost don’t with act 2 and nothing has popped up for anyone

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

The machine thing is to restrict gear to him I think

queen laurel
#

Because i'm still playing my runs

dusk patrol
#

Especially since he has a very unique character model

#

I do wish we could do more with augmetics though

#

Pascals arm options are fun at least

queen laurel
tough haven
dusk patrol
#

Yeah nothing like that

#

There’s several characters who have very unique abilities compared to us

queen laurel
#

Shame he can't one hand one handed melee weapons

dusk patrol
#

Cassia being another obvious one

tough haven
#

Cause in all reality, theres nothing stopping a rogue trader from getting mechadendrites and the like

dusk patrol
#

Nope not really

tough haven
#

Maybe we can hope for a dlc or update to bring more augment options

#

I always assumed that would be a path related to being more mechanicum aligned

dusk patrol
#

There’s an advanced class in the FFG game called an Augmenticist or something

tough haven
#

Yeah so its not unthinkable that we might get something like that in the future

crisp heath
#

So after the war in heaven why didn’t the krork wipe out the eldar? They were still immensely powerful and once the necrons were gone the eldar were the next big fight besides themselves

dusk patrol
#

Krork got their ass reamed

#

Eldar were in the best position to take over

#

We know they culled Orks and still do

crisp heath
#

Damn I figured krork were like the strongest warriors ever

dusk patrol
#

We don’t know for sure but it’s likely the Old Ones dying or disappearing also made them lose cohesion

crisp heath
#

As an army

dusk patrol
#

So no

vale fjord
#

What about their successor now the orks

dusk patrol
#

They were just another bioweapon which failed and now runs amuck.

tough haven
#

I wonder if I should use this?

dusk patrol
#

Depends on how you’re building but it can be good yes

tough haven
dusk patrol
#

It requires a lot of talent investment

tough haven
tough haven
dusk patrol
#

Arch militant is good, anyone who shoots good basically

#

You can always respec someone for it later

tough haven
#

Also is there a way to reduce the downsides of heavy armor, like how you can remove the penalties of medium with certain talents?

dusk patrol
#

Iirc there’s some talents which reduce it but the main idea is if you have heavy you wanna invest in deflections and more armor

#

Less concern with agility

#

More with weapon skill and toughness

#

Or alternatively

#

You can try to jack up agility a ton

#

Power armor I imagine will be really good for that once I get to it.

grave sparrow
#

I got a buddy who wants to put his homebrew chapter's fortress monestary in the cathedral on top an Emperator class titan.

Like I think that's kinda cool, but aren't titans not that big?

dusk patrol
#

Yeah that’s uh

#

Maybe their homeworld monastery has a Imperator built into it for some reason

#

But yeh that’s too small

green loom
#

Ok so I don't think toybox can add nac insight

dusk patrol
#

And the Ad Mech/Titan Legios wouldn’t be allowed to be that closely tied to a marine Chapter

dusk patrol
#

And how, marines can’t have a titan

green loom
#

Eternal have I told you that I managed to soft lock myself KEKW_ogryn

grave sparrow
#

I'll let him dream lol, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't goin stupid

#

I think his chapter is very heavily integrated with the mechanicum, so maybe they got some sorta dealio

dusk patrol
#

Whatever

#

Mechanicus ties are one thing

#

But we see with the Steel Confessors what happens if they try to be that closely tied

#

Iron Hands are super closely aligned to them and even they wouldn’t and don’t have stuff like that

#

I’d suggest just having them have like

green loom
# dusk patrol How

I charted an extra course and used up 6 nav insight
Now I don't have enough left to continue to act 3

dusk patrol
#

An archeotech vehicle

#

Similar to the IH Land Behemoths

#

Those things are way beyond Imperators anyways

green loom
#

Nope!

#

Already explored everything

dusk patrol
#

Damn

green loom
#

Only way to get it afaik is a random event while travelling dangerous routes

dusk patrol
#

Have you visited every system? There is way to get more

#

I would just try to do that

green loom
#

Yeap

dusk patrol
#

What book are we talking about?

#

Just being real, no shot

#

Ocean is one thing

#

Kilometer long?

#

Like do you know how long that is?

storm jungle
#

That's around the era where uh the lead writer for the Titanicus came out and was like "Stop making titans the size of mountains, its stupid even for 40k."

dusk patrol
#

I don’t mind them being big but they’ve never been that big

storm jungle
#

Okay so the issue is

#

an Imperator titan is like half the lower size of the empire states building

#

and people go

#

"thats small"

#

and im like

#

"have you ever stood next to a building before"

#

The issue is people got no idea how sizes relate to some thing's actual height, its a phenomenon not a lot of people know about and it applies to titan sizes too where people think them being the size of half a building is "small" for no reason lol

vale fjord
#

Blame the sky high pictures they always see

storm jungle
#

LEGIT

dusk patrol
#

Giant Bipedal mechs is always a dumb idea so I’m not super worried either way it’s just, people don’t seem to realize how big a thing is

storm jungle
#

very much just people not knowing how massive even basic titans are

dusk patrol
#

Well the pov was from a person who is bad at distances then

storm jungle
#

they dont need to be mountain sized to be scary

vale fjord
#

Didn't they already demonstrate the sizes of all race titans in one of those 40k cinematic game trailer

dusk patrol
#

Regardless, Imperators definitely don’t have kilometer long guns

storm jungle
#

people are stupid

dusk patrol
#

I mean the ocean wasn’t that deep then idk

#

But they’re not that big

#

Ever

grave sparrow
# dusk patrol I’d suggest just having them have like

This was their lore

"The planet is on the edge of the eye of terror and the chapter has historically worked heavily with a knight house for centuries to protect their home planet from chaos
Logically the next step was for the titan to become a mobile command center for the space marine chapter"

And I told then knights aren't titans.

and they told me to shut up lol

dusk patrol
#

They’ve big

vale fjord
vale fjord
#

Off topic Eldar titans scare me if they were real

dusk patrol
#

He can do what he wants I guess cause idc

vale fjord
#

Astartes titans sure but ion like gigantic skinny robot wielding a sword

grave sparrow
#

he did say it was his lore, its fun to bug him though lol

vale fjord
#

Scarry

storm jungle
#

Nah Imperators are not THAT small but the statue of liberty still dwarfs some

#

this is prob the most accurate chart

vale fjord
dusk patrol
#

People always ask for hombres stuff if it’s reasonable in canon and then if you bring up that maybe then all being knight pilot terminators psykers who have bionics and all use volkite isn’t exactly lore friendly they get mad so idc

vale fjord
#

Ork stompas are goofy looking doe

dusk patrol
#

I should say only some people

#

Lots are very receptive

storm jungle
#

Nah its pretty accurate

#

especially with some of the charts GW gave out

#

these landmarks are also MASSIVE

green loom
#

I'm still angry that I can't even progress

storm jungle
#

no titan in 40k is as big as those minus the Imperator and just slightly

storm jungle
green loom
vale fjord
dusk patrol
#

Ok

#

Save more nerd also

#

Jfc

storm jungle
#

YEAH

green loom
#

I save constantly!!

dusk patrol
#

How do you not save before every space battle

dusk patrol
green loom
#

That's how I know it was half my playthrough ago lmfao

storm jungle
#

Yeah that is MAD copium

dusk patrol
#

Might be a save editor up already

green loom
#

I'm trying to trigger the event rn

dusk patrol
#

The navigator one?

green loom
#

Yeah

#

It should give me 2

#

Which should be enough to start the route

#

If I can get through and chart it I'll be grand

dusk patrol
#

My dumb ass reducing the cost for the Imperium route earlier on

green loom
dusk patrol
#

ITS LITERALLY CALLED UNFAIR

you have 2 fucking turns before it blows up right at the start

2 turns to kill tanky abominations

Shoulda specced up your homies beforehand

i have literally done every single side mission in the sector

my boys are as juiced up as they possibly can be

I feel like when you play on a difficulty called Unfair you kinda get what was advertised

#

all i can say is spamming abilities/perks

#

its usually the "fullproof" tactic but 💀

crystal forum
#

i know

#

i've been trying for 5 hours

#

i've been breezing through unfair until now

#

it's the fucking timer that's straight up impossible

#

it's doable if you save scum the shit out of the mission but holy shit is that not fun

green loom

Ok so

#

It seems there's two navigator events

#

One gives you 2 insight

Another takes away insight

Guess which one I got KEKW_ogryn

im just going to reduce the difficulty for this one

it's so fucking good for where it's obtained

#

you can one shot enemies from accross the map

that plus extra hit chances means you do guaranteed critical damage

sometimes you need to sacrifice profit to obtain rare materials to build specific buildings on Planets you own

That aside, looks like I am moving more to Two-handed weapon and Heavy Bolter build later down the line once I can start building profit

I've been so busy exploring current maps in Chapter 2, I yet to unlock my first Planet to build on

If you buy a knife made in Iraq, Iran, or Pakistan it 100% is a melted down honda/toyota/Ford bumper

I think we have stronger evidence than the Goliath or demo charges

dusk patrol

Using stuff like plasma to switch between aoe and single shot blasts helps too

dense salmon
#

I doubt gene stealers are coming any time soon but I dont think the truck or any environmental "evidence" substantiates it if that is being planned

dusk patrol
#

I think they’re a likely addition eventually but yeah

dense salmon
#

The whole thing about genestealers is they improvise weaponry and equipment

dusk patrol

It’s an obvious easy thing to justify and it works well for the format

People make fun of the halo show for the Chevy Tahoe

#

The show deserves to be made fun of dont get me wrong

#

But I totally buy insurgents in the future using beat up piece of shit chevies

That part I didn’t mind

#

The poor actresses haircut however

#

That was a warcrime

dense salmon
#

Master chief ass cheeks

dusk patrol
#

Chief could have massacred them all and he would have been justified

#

Chief fucking a covenant traitor while Cortana watches

#

Like jfc

verbal path
#

I wish the settlement killed a few Elites before getting wiped.

#

The minigun forgot to deal damage until Chief picks it up.

dusk patrol
#

So many of these shows with established properties being done by dogshit writers who want to make something their own

#

And “their own” fucking sucks

crisp heath
#

honestly a chevy is lore accurate for halo anyway

dense salmon
#

People who don't really understand why the narrative of the game is compelling because they barely played them

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

But idk maybe they’re switching gears for the next seasons

#

I ain’t watching it either way

dense salmon
dusk patrol
#

I don’t care about showing chiefs face and all that either

#

I get that some stuff has to happen for a show

#

They could have the same cast and just done the general plot of Fall of Reach and I would have been happy

crisp heath
#

People really expect Master Chief's image to be given the same honors as Mohammed's and it's wild

dense salmon
#

In the comics we see chief's face here and there

#

And he's described a lot in the novels

#

The guy who played chief was a decent fit

#

I think he was given a bad script though

crisp heath
#

I do wish the "Chief has a smaller helmet under his helmet" was canon

dense salmon
#

Showing his face is fine, the other stuff was really out of character for him though

dusk patrol
#

Yeah the actor was fine imo

#

It’s they did a lot of stupid shit

#

And also that

#

And clearly didn’t like the franchise

dense salmon
#

I actually thought the practical effects of the show were pretty good whenever they were present

#

But I think the emotional aspect of Spartans would have worked a lot better with Spartan 3s instead of blue team

#

Spartan 3s were war orphans turned into spartans as a means to make them useful

#

And they didnt go through the thorough augmentation and training that Spartan 2s did

#

Reach does a good job showing some of the bizarre and disturbing tendencies of Spartan 3 with Jun and Emile imo

dusk patrol
#

Yeah like it’s hilarious how much they could have just vaguely kept to the original storyline and it would have been loved

#

It didn’t even have to be amazing

#

Idk where these writers get off, you’re being handed an easy dunk jfc

#

Same thing with the Witcher

#

Just stick to the general plot line

dense salmon
#

I thought the first season of the Witcher was okay

dusk patrol
#

Like I don’t even expect the Eisenhorn TV show, or whatever Amazon ends up doing, to be amazing but I do think GW has probably taken steps to ensure it sticks to the general deal

dense salmon
#

I didnt pay attention to much of season 2 so I can't really weigh in

dusk patrol
#

And that’s all you need man really

dense salmon
#

And I had to stop watching the last season

dusk patrol
#

Slight changes

#

Last two it just

#

Kept going way off

dense salmon
#

Slighr changes are a given in any adaptation

dusk patrol
#

It’s a dead horse at this point but yeah

dense salmon
#

Some things just work better in literature than on screen

dusk patrol
#

Yeah no one minds slight changes to stuff

#

It’s when you’re completely warping characters and plot lines for bad or dumb reasons

#

Well I shouldn’t say no one

#

But it’s ok and expected

dense salmon
#

A lot of diehard asoiaf fans hate game of thrones in its entirety for omitting characters or giving some characters lines that weren't theirs

#

If you read asoiaf, the amount of named characters (INCLUDING SOME WHO SHARE THE SAME NAME) is staggering

#

I think the last few seasons were bad like everyone else, but I wont pretend the first 4 seasons weren't television kino because patchface wasn't shown or mentioned

dusk patrol
#

Yeah like you have to adapt stuff and that means changing and condensing

#

The Expanse is probably the best example I can think of for this

#

Hell they improved a lot of characters

#

I think even the author has said that

green loom
#

Game of thrones got worse the more budget they had lol

dusk patrol
#

They also ran out of books

#

And they just didn’t like some characters

#

And didn’t know what to do with them

green loom
#

Like Stannis?

dense salmon
#

Although the first seasons steal a lot of cool moments from tyrion for budget reasons

dusk patrol
#

I was just gonna say

#

Fuck me Stannis got fucked over

green loom
#

The first season had a small budget right

dusk patrol
#

Great actor, great character

green loom
#

Relatively small anyway

dense salmon
#

Tyrion gets knocked out and wakes up later in his first battle with the mountain clan vanguard in the show

dusk patrol
#

Fairly yeah we

dense salmon
#

In the book, tyrion was stacking bodies

dusk patrol
#

They had to skip so many battles

dense salmon
#

He even impaled a horse with a pike on his helmet

green loom
#

My biggest biggest gripe

dusk patrol
#

Cause ironically the first seasons are where all the big stuff happens

storm jungle
green loom
#

Is how the costume design nosedives post like

#

Season 5

dusk patrol
#

All the battles later are way way shorter

dense salmon
#

That being said, tywin ruined his children

coarse pumice
#

do you need persuasion on your RT or can one of your party handle it?

dense salmon
#

And tyrion got the worst of it

dusk patrol
#

After his first battle he loses his nose

#

Or wait uh

dense salmon
#

So it makes sense why he's a monster

dusk patrol
#

One of the battles

#

But yeh

dense salmon
#

That was the battle of the black water

green loom
dense salmon
#

He also gets a cleft lip from it

#

So his teeth are visible with his mouth closed

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

YEP

#

Book tyrion is fucked up

#

and like

#

legit a mutant

dusk patrol
#

He’s an ugly mfer

dense salmon
#

Book tyrion was also fairly ugly before his injury in the book

dusk patrol
#

But it’s how it goes

dense salmon
#

I dont think a single POV describes him as anything but hideous

dusk patrol
#

I’m happy we got the first few seasons at least

#

Charles Dance as Tywin is a joy

dense salmon
#

But humans are naturally predisposed to empathize with people we see as conventionally attractive

green loom
#

King's Guard early on vs later

dense salmon
#

So on the screen, he wouldn't be a popular character if he was ugly

dusk patrol
#

Ugh don’t remind me what they did with him too

#

Fuck me another waste

dense salmon
#

Robert strong is one thing the show probably did get right

#

They just misused him

dusk patrol
#

Not the Mountain he was fine mostly

dense salmon
#

Because cersei didn't have a trial by combat

dusk patrol
#

I do love his and the Hounds final moment

dense salmon
#

Brienne of tarth is also mishandled but that's because the show omitted lady Stoneheart

dusk patrol
#

Sad but fitting, that whole thing with the Hound telling Ari to not follow him is great

#

Rare good bit at the end

green loom
#

I don't know why this happened

dense salmon
#

I think the big reason lady Stoneheart was omitted is because game of thrones was at its peak in popularity when fantasy as a genre was much less popular in the cultural zeitgeist

green loom
#

But the costume design must've gone through a phase or something

#

WHY IS EVERYONE WEARING BLACK

#

AND NOTHING ELSE

upbeat dagger
#

i'm seeing theories that rannick is the traitor?

dense salmon
#

So magical resurrection was something the showrunners didn't want to touch

dense salmon
#

Generic bad boy pirate vs the harbinger of a dark aquatic apocalypse

dusk patrol
#

But yeah, Ser Barrister was just

green loom
dusk patrol
#

Disappointing conclusion

dusk patrol
#

We don’t know and tbh I think like Ederius says

#

There isn’t one

storm jungle
#

There is no traitor

dusk patrol
#

Rannick being one would be so fucking boring and cliche

storm jungle
#

I like my take more

green loom
#

Tywin's riding around in a crimson sash meanwhile everyone else just wears black

everyone is a traitor, the girl from the cutscene was the only loyalist

#

You know that gun fired rounds more expensive than the ship we’re on probably

dense salmon
#

He is described like a rising sun atop a hill as he oversees a battle

#

Tywin took drip or drown to its absolute extreme

green loom
#

I don't blame them for not going accurate on armours too much but as I said

#

Their designs take a very sharp nosedive after a certain point

dusk patrol
#

I don’t mind all that as much yeah

dense salmon
#

Yeah George Martin demonstrates his lack of knowledge in medieval arms and armor when he describes shit like this

dusk patrol
#

I can put up with a lot it’s just at a certain point you’re forgetting everything about the characters to subvert expectations or whatever

dense salmon
#

I cringe every time I read "bastard sword"

crystal forum

I know George Martin actually enjoys painting medieval miniatures

So there's a possibility he enjoys warhammer

Loras tyrell's armor is surprisingly accurate to the book

Seeing Sansa's dresses get tighter on her body as she's kept hostage is a good example

green loom
#

They're just pulling custom made dresses from some old lady's wardrobe

dense salmon
#

She isn't given new clothing or materials to make her own

#

So she starts to outgrow her dresses

dusk patrol
dense salmon
#

Which is brilliantly contrasted by Joffrey who never wears the same pattern of silk twice iirc

green loom
#

I feel like half their stuff is just taken from their costume department lol

dense salmon
#

In braavos, you see a lot of fluted collars

#

Which could indicate the history of slavery in braavos

#

Escaped slaves growing accustomed to metal collars around their necks wear collars as a clothing choice

#

In the north, a lot of the clothing is obviously suited to the winter conditions. When ned goes to king's Landing, he's constantly drenched in sweat because he doesn't have anything light to wear

crystal forum
dense salmon
#

The history of slavery? Yes

#

That being related to them wearing collars is just conjecture

#

Braavos is one of the free cities on planetos founded by slaves escaping old valyria

#

My point in mentioning this is that even the costumes of game of thrones tell stories

green loom
#

Or used to at least

#

Even the cursed Tully armour is better than just the drab garbage by the later seasons

dense salmon
#

Agreed

#

Though I guess we can propose that everyone wearing black could be due to lack of available dyes being traded during war

crystal forum
#

or a cinematic choice to make the characters more depressing

tough haven

Is it a bad idea to swap out pascals default armor?

snow fern

I mean, black isn’t a super common color in nature

crystal forum

black is probably one of the easiest dyes to make

snow fern

Give pascal some heavy armor and his forge world talent. Good stuff

As I mentioned Sansa visibly outgrowing her dresses is such a subtle detail that says so much about her living conditions

So if I go heavy weapon proficiency on a soldier with Never Stop Shooting, and hopefully try to use weapons with high fire rate, what talents should I grab?

her bolter sucks so much ass

It'll take you a bit to find them methinks

So just make due with those until you can get to a heavy bolter or something like that

well he already has the perk
