#

I forget eldar can just go back to being normal

#

they're not like human psykers who are basically all schizophrenic a little permanently

storm jungle
#

Yeah Eldar society is not that pushing.

dusk patrol
#

A lot of young Eldar spend some time as “outcasts” as rangers or corsairs or whatever

#

And make up the bulk of them

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

It’s pretty rare for an old Eldar to still be on that path which is what corsairs are and the super duper veteran rangers

sour hornet
#

Basically pirate lords I assume?

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

sour hornet
#

I mean, besides the shorter life expectancy it does seem like a sweet gig.

dusk patrol
#

That’s where the line grows thin between being an Aeldari still and becoming a Drukhari for those who make the leap

sour hornet
#

Oh.

storm jungle
#

Its not that thin.

#

Corsairs are basically a middle point.

#

Some become semi-sadistic raiders the others are just asshole pirates, etc etc.

#

Its left vague so you can just decorate your corsair band however you want

dusk patrol
#

“For those who make the leap”

sour hornet
#

These guys are corsairs?

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

storm jungle
#

Yep.

dusk patrol
#

There’s a Killteam for them

storm jungle
#

notice the use of both asuryani/drukhari weapons

#

they are basically two-sided soup faction for any kind of eldar

dusk patrol
#

They attract a wide crowd of the more on the edge dudes

#

They work with harlequins and Drukhari a lot

sour hornet
#

they got fucking space raptors

dusk patrol
#

Also act as unofficial scouts for craftworlds and supplemental fleets

sour hornet
#

And is that one woman holding spirit stones?

dusk patrol
#

At least some do

dusk patrol
#

They also collect spirit stones

#

From Crone Worlds

#

Which is the one resource craftworlds need to get really

#

Drukhari and Corsairs collect them to trade for whatever they need

sour hornet
#

I'm guessing the have neutral if not cordial relationships with most craftworlds?

dusk patrol
#

Generally speaking they’ll assist yeah

#

Some are bigger assholes than others

#

Some cause the issues for the craft worlds in the first place

#

It varies

storm jungle
#

Only like the most deranged corsair bands (which arent a lot) just avoid that stuff for obvious reasons.

dusk patrol
#

There’s a much higher chance they’ll interact with humans than basically any other Eldar

#

At the end of the day it’s still a path though

sour hornet
#

By 'interact' I assume shooting at them?

#

And stealing their stuff?

dusk patrol
#

And they still need to stay on the path or they risk becoming those who crossover to become Drukhari

#

Because their soul stone won’t work anymore

dusk patrol
#

It’s not uncommon to see them have uneasy alliances with the Imperium for crises

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Also local lords they pay off

storm jungle
#

again it depends from warband to warband

dusk patrol
#

And other pirates

storm jungle
#

some just simply raid them

dusk patrol
#

They’re pirates

#

It varies at the end of the day

#

Also rogue traders of course

#

For all the issues the Path of the Eldar series has, Path of the Outcast is largely really good imo

mild depot
#

the Lion should have been Warmaster

forest orbit
#

Ok.

dusk patrol
#

I should have been Warmaster

storm jungle
#

My dad should have been warmaster. He doesn't even know the difference between a Laptop and Desktop.

raven stone
#

New meme [x] should be Warmaster is born

storm jungle
#

Yeah its just a dumb statement tbh.

#

Shoulda-Woulda, it doesnt matter lol

bold rampart
#

whats a warmaster

sour hornet
#

Master of war.

bold rampart
#

wow

sour hornet
storm jungle
#

is this a serious question or

bold rampart
#

i dont know shit about 40k lol

storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

basically in 30k its the commander of the largest portions of the Imperium's armies

#

in 40k pass the Heresy its just a guy in charge of a massive crusade force

bold rampart
#

and how many crusade forces are there usually? just the one?

#

indomitus or whatever

storm jungle
#

Not a ton but quite a few around the galaxy

#

there usually isnt more than 1-3 warmasters though since giving that much power to a cunt like an imperial can end badly

bold rampart
#

yeah

storm jungle
#

anyway

#

read 40k lore, now

bold rampart
#

theres a pin from skelly in the bookclub about that right?

storm jungle
#

Yep, jokes aside like if you wanna start anywhere just take a look lol

bold rampart
#

uh well, im quite stacked with irl stuff but i might

tired frost
#

Does Sister Prine shave her legs?

#

Somebody should if not, bwrrrr

storm jungle
#

fucking degenerate

tired frost
#

Would reduce the edgy

storm jungle
#

i barely can read half the time lol

bold rampart
#

hestia?

tired frost
#

Yes

storm jungle
#

yeah hes saying her surname

bold rampart
#

she doesnt cuz theyd clip through the skirt

storm jungle
tired frost
bold rampart
#

i have equipped the skirt and my legs have clipped through

tired frost
#

Were thy legs hairy?

tired frost
#

And most importantly, should one use a chainblade to shave Sister Prines legs

#

Or something else

storm jungle
#

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HER LEGS

tired frost
#

Hygene is important

dusk patrol
#

This is a versatile gif

storm jungle
#

Its a bit bad

#

we need something more violent

#

like a Gaunt's head being crushed, except its you Shanks

tired frost
#

Ill see myself to the servitor workshop

storm jungle
#

thanks 🙏

tired frost
storm jungle
#

LMFAO

bold rampart
#

i have a version with no text i think

tired frost
#

lol

storm jungle
#

that video is never outdated

#

we already had people saying theres genestealers again with the trailer

#

aughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

bold rampart
#

how

bold rampart
#

i can barely even tell whats goin on in that gif

dusk patrol
bold rampart
#

i hope thats just a bad joke

dusk patrol
#

Now just add Orks, Genestealers, Tau, Eldar, the other three gods, undivided and I dunno more zombies

bold rampart
#

primaris ass marines

storm jungle
#

"Omg add necrons"

#

stfu

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

Did Vermintide have any of that

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

A reoccurring one

#

The bar brawl one

queen laurel
celest dome
dusk patrol
#

That I recall there was only one which they’d bring back for events occasionally

celest dome
#

A quiet drink isn't timed

dusk patrol
#

It was basically a meme mission

celest dome
#

Only vt1 had a tined mission

small grail
dusk patrol
#

It wasn’t always a available

#

I haven’t played in a minute so it might be just part of the roster now

tired frost
#

Genestealers never seem to have body hair though, how come? They are either very hygiene aware or is it some other reason,

queen laurel
#

Now i wonder how useful the super fast zealots are going to be in this mode

#

Spoiler alert they aren't

tired frost
#

Why they all so bald

#

My models are all bald, i never considered why

storm jungle
#

What?

tired frost
#

I believe those genestealers are all supreme hygienic, moisturised and shaved for a important reason

dusk patrol
#

Like not in a video game

#

Not imaginary

storm jungle
#

💀

dusk patrol
#

Not even the GSC would wanna steal your genes

tired frost
#

Cope Harder? lol

storm jungle
#

Hes making statements. Not coping.

#

now stop talking about body hair you fucking freak

tired frost
#

No, My entire genestealer army is bald

#

Why

storm jungle
#

We stole the hair folicles.

tired frost
#

Its a lore channel, if you dont know why just say

dusk patrol
#

Because your parents failed in their duty

#

And now we have to suffer the consequences

tired frost
#

Yes you do, dont you

storm jungle
#

Serious answer; we dont know, its just mutations/mixed with the Tyranid DNA in their system, it doesnt really allow for hair development due to their fucked up infected biology.

dusk patrol
#

Your genestealers are all shaved because you touched them and they tried to cleanse their bodies as best they can

tired frost
#

Okay thats a good answer

#

how does the genestealing work with Astartes, Does it work the same or is it impossible due to them being trans-human etc

celest dome
#

Has already happened in the lore

tired frost
#

Interesting

#

Can you show me

#

I have a genestealer army and i know nearly nothing about them, I didnt realise they were so fleshed out in lore

celest dome
#

They aren't really that fleshed out

dusk patrol
#

It doesn’t really, there’s some which are infected but they managed to overcome it

#

They don’t look different and they all die by the end by choice

tired frost
#

When they get harvested by the fleets?

dusk patrol
#

No when they die because they destroy the entire chapter

#

Their serfs and world was basically being taken over so they just hit reset

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

It is a very odd book

#

And that’s not even the main focus

storm jungle
#

Like, space marines can be dumb but how do you not notice this.

dusk patrol
#

Don’t think about it Morty

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

I dunno it’s pretty contrived but either way it’s ended in the same book

tired frost
#

Do all gene stealers have mindless loyalty to the Tyrranid as a whole or specific fleets, or is there any autonomy at all for them to do there own thing?

dusk patrol
#

They’re all loyal but they also do their own thing

#

There’s very different cults

tired frost
#

Does the hivemind make an appearance anywere at all through the 10k since the HH and all that, Any books i can read about it in at all? I only just returned to the hobby

rose thorn
#

Hey is there a reason some models on the store look painted amazing and others look absolutely horrendous

small grail
#

(hypothetical) if a guardsman and sister fell in love what wud happen

tired frost
#

Are Ratlings still a thing?

crisp heath
#

No romance in this setting everyone has to be miserable

rose thorn
tired frost
#

What about Squats?

storm jungle
#

They exist.

#

they got a faction overhaul

tired frost
#

NICE

#

The Votan are the squats?

#

Or the demi something with the tau?

rose thorn
tired frost
#

I couldnt get a clear answer from my store

#

OK cool

storm jungle
#

yeah the Leagues of Votann is the core faction

#

squats is a term still but its considered a slur by the dwarves

#

which like... yeah it basically is lol

spring cairn
#

wait till they get called stunties

tired frost
#

Oh My Bad

storm jungle
#

No like

#

in-universe

rose thorn
#

There was LoV who worked with Tau, mainly seen in battle fleet gothic 2

tired frost
#

Oh good

storm jungle
#

Romances dont really last in the Imperium

spring cairn
#

the taus are in cahoot with the demiurge

tired frost
#

Who or what are demiurge?

#

Not the votan?

queen laurel
storm jungle
spring cairn
#

the demiurge is what created this world of lies

queen laurel
#

Because this guard could be deployed on this planet while the sister is like f****** 50 light years on the way

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

well yeah why would some nobody have access to astropaths

small grail
#

but in any case cud they have like a happily ever after

#

?

storm jungle
#

no lmao

#

read what i said

#

they are just nobodies in the war machine, they will get seperated and are too brainwashed to exactly go rogue

spring cairn
#

I'd win

tired frost
#

Do sisters of battle ever behave badly though? Corruption etc?

spring cairn
#

I'm immune to propaganda

storm jungle
#

well yeah beacuse you are an Empire of Man enjoyer

storm jungle
spring cairn
#

(I would be the one making the propaganda)

storm jungle
#

if they do behave badly theres punishment units for it

bold rampart
#

subjected to reading the steam forums as punishment

storm jungle
#

Literally.

#

worse than death

bold rampart
#

some people here do it for fun

plush mason
#

because some people are insane and like to wade into radiactive sludge

bold rampart
#

life in the imperium 🤷‍♂️

storm jungle
#

^

queen laurel
#

Yeah it's just the imperium man what can you do with it

#

Unless you are lucky getting in a relationship and maintaining it is basically borderline impossible

small grail
#

but between spacemarines and sisters who treats the guardsman better

storm jungle
#

Uhhh it depends

#

both can treat them badly and well

#

lol

bold rampart
#

i mean like, would you rather be treated badly by a space marine. or a 7ft tall woman

#

hear me out

queen laurel

Now quiet and go back to the battle lines

small grail
outer wave
#

So how true is this?

dusk patrol
#

Nah it’s too short

outer wave
#

Damn 😔

#

It needed 800 more books

storm jungle
#

Weeb Slop 😩

green loom
#

Those Rohan warriors kinda slap though

rocky gale
#

Wait

#

Nevermind this isn't next weeks preorders, it's just a reveal

#

But still

#

very cool

#

Strange that there's no new cavalry units, but I guess that might come later

shell barn
#

How accurate is TTS Rogal Dorn to the lore

rose thorn
#

I didn’t know there was so much content to base a tabletop wargame off of in Tolkien

dusk patrol
rose thorn
#

I no nothing about the setting though tbh

dusk patrol
#

So, not

rocky gale
#

and it's deep

#

Like if we're being honest Tolkein kinda just wrote the books as a side project while he was building the world

green loom
#

A side project of a side project of a side project

rocky gale
#

Like the Hobbit itself was basically just a bedtime story he made up for his kids based off the world he was building

#

Then it became a novel

#

Although unfortunately for all the work that was done on the world it wasn't finished

small grail
queen laurel
rocky gale
#

He was still working on his notes and even on a novel which followed the LOTR

#

He was a philologist, a professor of studying historical literature, books & records for authenticity, meaning and purpose etc

#

So he was basically making a fantasy world through literature

rocky gale
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

I’m glad he isn’t a raging racist or anything and channeling his racism into his art, unlike another author….

rocky gale
#

Yep, like the premise behind the books is that they are in universe texts

#

Well he did recieve criticism for racism in his depictions of Orcs, but from what I'm aware he took those criticisms to heart, apologised and endeavoured to change them

queen laurel
#

Yeah what

rose thorn
#

Imagine if he was like, a dnd GM

rocky gale
#

I think there were like descriptors of them being likened to Mongolians

#

He also disliked the fact he'd originally depicted the Orcs as being purely evil and his notes go on to show he was trying to undo that

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Orcs are the ones in black armor right?

leaden pilot
rocky gale
rocky gale
#

Yea

queen laurel
#

Is the lord of the rings movie accurate at you know portraying the orcs

rose thorn
rocky gale
#

But his next book was under the working title of "The new Shadow" and basically focused on the events following Aragons reign and the defeat of Sauron, where evil is beginning to spread again and humans in Gondor were basically forming Orc cults and turning savage.

#

Which was part of his attempt to make the Orcs not pure evil by nature, by basically showing them changing and having humans choose to be like them

leaden pilot
rose thorn
#

i think the content that doesnt involver her do a better job

#

of not being stereotypes

rocky gale
leaden pilot
#

From what I've heard it does seem so
Like this
"Lechsinka" isn't a name in Poland, I don't know where she got this from lmao

storm jungle
#

SLAVIC EYES

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

I NEED to send this to my polish gfs

queen laurel
#

OK yeah no i'm mixing something up

#

demo is scottish

storm jungle
#

best part is Demoman is a very tastefully done character

#

like a black scottish man in 2009?

#

that is progressive as shit by Valve

queen laurel
#

Because they know how to handle the characters well

storm jungle
#

Yeah Valve knows character design

#

Demoman may be a drunk mess but hes also a guy doing his job and loves his mom

queen laurel
#

And medic

#

he will get along with the emperor and try to steal his research

green loom
storm jungle
#

Yep its great

#

like on the surface you'd assume hes a joke character lol

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

YOU CANT EVEN PRONOUNCE IT IN POLISH

storm jungle
#

LOL

rose thorn
#

ITS NOT A GRAMATICAL NAME

green loom
#

Oh if you want Rowling racism

#

Literally just the goblins

queen laurel
#

oh here's the good part

rose thorn
#

not only are there the goblins

#

but the only jewish character is literally named goldman

#

Let me grab them

#

Sorry Goldstein

#

Not Goldman Goldstein

leaden pilot
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

you dont know how correct youa re

rose thorn
#

is a fucking character

#

hes a black character named shacklebolt

leaden pilot
#

I'm not too knowledgeable on HP lore

#

But I'm pretty sure there was some part about there not being toilets in Hogwarts

#

So mages did their bussiness everywhere and then just disappeared it with magick lmao

rocky gale
#

Yea Wizards disconnected themselves from the Muggle world before the invention of plumbing and toilets, so they just shat in the corner and then used magic to make it disappear

#

it wasn't until Hogwarts started accepting muggleborn students that they had to introduce toilets

#

Because they refused to do this

queen laurel
dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

Why is the school's main defence spirits that will catch a body on anyone

dusk patrol
#

He and CS Lewis were good friends and had a lot of talks about that, he didn’t even mean LotR to have any religiously allegorical aspects but CS Lewis pointed out how much there is for LotR

rocky gale
#

It's coming woooo

rose thorn
#

IM SO EXICTED

#

AAAA

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Being a dick

queen laurel
leaden pilot
#

Also I don't know if it's official, but the magic schools map is hilarious

dusk patrol
#

Yeah the schools hilariously dangerous

rocky gale
#

Pretty sure it's as she described

#

The names of the schools are also awful

dusk patrol
#

At a certain point you know it’s just something you can’t think too hard about

rocky gale
#

Like she basically just used google translate

leaden pilot
dusk patrol
#

JK Rowling wasn’t thinking through a lot of the concepts to their logical conclusion

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Like love potions, time turners, poly juice potion

rose thorn
#

Welp time to play my favorite video game endless legends :3

dusk patrol
#

Probably oppressing people under Wizard Stalin

leaden pilot
rose thorn
#

Wanna know my favorite part of this whole map?

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

One area in the whole world unteachable of wizardly

#

Man I love the forgotten, I’d like to paint darkoath like them but

#

Without context it looks really racist

leaden pilot
rose thorn
# rose thorn

For context they were outcast by the vaulters because they developed shadow magic, so to survive the god awful planet they live on they ‘embraced the madness of the world’ and basically forgo most technology

leaden pilot
#

Yes, the same Strugatsky

rose thorn
leaden pilot
#

Their "Definetly Maybe" and "Hard to be a God" were also really good

nocturne crest
#

Out of curiosity, but do the Aeronautica Imperialis have their own forces to guard their equipment or do they have to depend upon the guard ?

crisp heath
#

Is Fire Warrior a good T'au intro? I don't want to get into the Farsight stuff before I have a good "T'au baseline"

storm jungle
#

Its not great not terrible

#

an okay read

storm jungle
#

if its on the ground its down to the Guard

#

if its on Navy ships then to men-at-arms etc

green loom
#

Erm, they're called Voidsmen ty

nocturne crest
#

So they just have pilots then?

storm jungle
#

Well yeah you need a pilot to fly an aircraft dont you

#

its the same as how any army's airforce wont just have people whos job is to just guard planes, thats gruntwork

nocturne crest
#

So what about stuff like the gunner crew or the bomb crew?

storm jungle
#

Those get trained to do their job onboard an aircraft

#

their job is operators, not guards

languid meadow
leaden pilot
#

Well Aeronautica Imperialis is a branch of Imperial Navy, so I'd assume that their guards are voidsmen when operating from ships, and Imperial Guard forces when on the ground

crisp heath
#

I don’t really know if being a guardsmen or a navy man is worse

#

Don’t think I’d like to be either

leaden pilot
nocturne crest
#

Yeah, but if you get stuck in the warp after a gellar shield failure?

crisp heath
#

Real

#

Woe, you are now turned into a harp, your ribcage its strings

(I really dislike slanesh art, stuff hurts to look at)

leaden pilot
opaque coyote
#

Well you might as well shoot yourself. Save the whole process of getting your mind fucked with by daemons

#

Or getting possessed

crisp heath
#

Did any of the primarchs try and help angron?

#

Or did they just ignore em as he got worse and worse?

nocturne crest
#

First, but in the worst ways possible.

dusk patrol
#

Angron wasn’t exactly open to much help

crisp heath
#

Like helping an addict, no matter how much they say they don’t want it they really need it

radiant lance
raven stone
#

Ok actually Imperial Navy have their own arms men who under normal circumstances can only be ever deployed aboard naval ships.
But they can be dragged off to service in a ground war if randomly deemed appropriate (mostly by an Inqusitor)

rocky gale
#

Lorgar tried to "help"

dusk patrol
#

He was named that by his homeworld

raven stone
#

It is why Naval Breachers are in the Imperial Agents codex, not the Guard Codex

dusk patrol
#

It was a gladiator name, Angronius

rocky gale
#

However Lorgars method of helping was to turn him into a Daemon

#

So....

crisp heath
#

He was gonna die otherwise

#

Not sure you can call what he’s going through now living though

soft thunder
#

an end to his suffering would've been better than the eternal pain he's still in

versed ledge
#

So what's a good three word slogan that radiates slaanesh vibes?

radiant lance
#

We love sex

#

Pleasure. Pain. Perfection.

versed ledge
#

Please, Daddy, Harder

#

I get a feeling all these are taken though

#

Live, Laugh, Love

radiant lance
#

Tzeentch would be
Gatekeep. Gaslight. Girlboss

storm jungle
#

it legit gives me murder-rage

#

Angron is as bad as it is

Angronius.

God rogue one was such a fun movie

Literally the coolest scene ever

its like, the best part of guard, space marines, scions, and are very important

#

If the imperium was able to put its full back into only fighting the tyranids and nothing else, would they be able to keep them out of the galaxy?

Or would the imperium run out of resources before the tyranids did

unless you just wanna scroll throguh this

I would bet 1000 dollars I could find a name which is stupid as fuck when translated

#

And is at least as dumb as a guy being named angry

#

We have guys named the Ultimate Warrior nowadays there’s gotta be something that dumb

ANGRONIUS

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

This isn’t consistent at all tbh

spring cairn
#

i mean yes but you never see them take out capital ships eithers

dusk patrol
#

Star Destroyers also sometime are depicted and said to wreck house

spring cairn
#

in legends they're said to fuck shit up

#

but alas

dusk patrol
#

The main issue with the Emperor’s strategy was overly expensive super weapons

#

Which even without legends

#

Is still way overdone lol

plush mason
#

yeah the star destroyers are very powerful, but they replaced a class of ship that was much much better suited for dealing with the rebellion is the point

spring cairn
#

and then again, everything in sw is plot related anyway

plush mason
#

the carrier cruisers of the republic where a much better counter to the rebel alliance fleet by a long shot

dusk patrol
#

The Super Star Destroyer is really dope though even if its name is dumb

dusk patrol
spring cairn
#

why is the star destroyer unable to deal with the only threat the empire fights ?

#

because rebels need that W

dusk patrol
#

I do like how the Mon Calmari are really good at space warfare

#

Because they think better in those dimensions

#

For a joke name race they’re got pretty cool development

#

Ackbar deserved better

plush mason
spring cairn
#

unlike my favourite SW character

#

Glorp Shitto

dusk patrol
#

Might also be a Rick and Morty character

spring cairn
#

and with sw it can't pull all of that nonsense

#

that's just me

dusk patrol
#

It’s exactly as incompetent as the plot needs it to be

plush mason
#

like the star destroyers could easily beat the rebel ships in a head on fight, which is why the rebels never fought them head on

dusk patrol
#

Also the rebels barely ever do anything without some at the last minute bullshit Hail Mary from the main cast

spring cairn
#

also let's talk about the empire's main fighter design

#

big ass octogones on each sides

dusk patrol
#

Ah yes, where the design is we don’t protect the pilot because reasons

spring cairn
#

front facing window ONLY for the cockpit (since the wings are blocking all sideview)

#

no life support or shield

Only Thrawn had the brilliant idea to checks notes

“Make a better Tie Fighter”

spring cairn
#

like that thing has no pros whatsoever

#

and NO

#

idc that it goes fast somewhat

plush mason
#

tfw the sith empire from 3000 years ago had a better fighter

spring cairn
#

it's never a point in any of the plots

dusk patrol
#

I like Thrawn but he’s a hilarious case of a writer doing the work to make him cool because everyone else is a dumbass

#

And also you make him cool by beating civilizations with specific weaknesses their art reveals by creating those weaknesses for him to find as the writer

#

Once again I like him but it is amusing

plush mason
#

so in other words, they made a Chiss act like a Chiss?

dusk patrol
#

Chiss the most Mary sue characters in SW frfr

languid meadow
#

God bless the chiss ascendancy

plush mason
#

the only aliens to ally with the sith empire, twice

#

then the galactic empire

languid meadow
#

It's more like "let's pretend to be their friends while we spy on them"

plush mason
#

hell they would have allied with the infinite empire if the had been around back then most likely

dusk patrol
#

See kids this is why genocide isn’t always bad

dusk patrol
#

I do think the funniest part of the Republic to Empire thing is the entire empire just flipping on the evil switches

languid meadow
#

The chiss only care about 2 things, the galaxy not exploding and their species not explot

arctic talon
#

Speciest?

#

Human supremacist? Idfk

spring cairn
arctic talon
#

How did that switch get flipped

#

Lol

plush mason
#

Chiss imperial agent has to be one of the best stories Bioware has ever writen

spring cairn
#

they were waiting for the signal

arctic talon
#

Like that happened really fucking fast

dusk patrol
#

“Ok we saved Kashyyyk….NOW LETS KILL AND ENSLAVE THE WOOKIES

languid meadow
#

The clone wars should've been longer than 3 years

plush mason
#

inhibiter chips go burr

dusk patrol
#

What happened was the separatists had all the evil mojo before then so when they fell apart the republic absorbed it

#

Suddenly, slavery is kinda based

arctic talon
#

The republic sucked up all the evil juices

#

And it started being goth

dusk patrol
#

NO MORE WARM LIGHTING

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

MORE EDGES

arctic talon
#

Only cold harsh lighting

#

And grey

#

And black

dusk patrol
#

No more handrails either!

arctic talon
#

To be fair

#

The republic didn’t have those either

dusk patrol
#

We’re in our evil era!

spring cairn
#

they should've made the cis way more nuanced in their morality since they were being manipulated instead of just being awful and getting manipulated

dusk patrol
#

They did a little

#

With the Clone Wars

#

But they still had like

spring cairn
#

like almost nothing

dusk patrol
#

The hilariously evil dudes

arctic talon
#

We just get comically evil

#

Characters mostly

dusk patrol
#

The fucking evil cat slavers

languid meadow
#

OSHA regulations don't exist in their galaxy so that means you can be hilarious with forklifts

plush mason
arctic talon
#

They’re very evil

#

But like

#

I find the dude with the uh

plush mason
#

the OG trilogy really really hits you over the head with the all Nazi parallels

arctic talon
#

Who was the fat fuck nemodian

dusk patrol
#

Idk man they have a whole arc of them just torturing Kenobi and Anakin for shits and giggles

arctic talon
#

With the uh

arctic talon
languid meadow
arctic talon
#

Gun that killed everything biological

languid meadow
#

No wait

dusk patrol
#

Also the one lady clearly wants to fuck Anakin and the show dances around the sex slavery part

spring cairn
#

at least you can say that they aren't sending sentient beings to die in droves so i guess they have that going

arctic talon
#

Nute isn’t fat

spring cairn
#

except they do sometimes

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

He just has a vaguely offensive accent

#

Lol

languid meadow
#

Bug man

arctic talon
#

Yeah that dude

#

That dude was comically evil

languid meadow
#

Lok durd

dusk patrol
#

butthole eyes

languid meadow
#

I mean have you seen goat eyes

spring cairn
#

the lore of his entire race is that their comically despicable rats

#

literally

dusk patrol
#

Basically

spring cairn
#

peak writing

languid meadow
#

I love their racism off with their cousins

dusk patrol
#

It’s like Mass Effect where we learn you can work with every race if you try, except those dirty stinky thieving Batarians

arctic talon
#

Ngl

#

I’m surprised there was no Batarian like

dusk patrol
#

It’s really odd

arctic talon
#

Team member in 2

dusk patrol
#

Iirc they’ve confirmed one is gonna be a companion for the next game

arctic talon
#

Like Zaeed could have been batarian

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

And I think my opinion would not change at all

languid meadow
#

Shepard I know it was hard to blow up that relay to slow the reapers

#

Reapers?

dusk patrol
#

But they went back because racism

arctic talon
#

Idk

plush mason
arctic talon
#

I think it would be fun

#

If zaeed was batarian

plush mason
#

the main goal was killing the 600k batarians

arctic talon
#

Isn’t it less then 600k batarians

#

Because of all the slaves

spring cairn
#

aren't the bataraisn the shrimp ppl

dusk patrol
#

Shepard was really on trial for wasting a perfectly good relay, he got off cause he killed a bunch of Batarians doing it

arctic talon
#

The total population was 600k

spring cairn
#

i forgot

plush mason
#

idk

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Nah they’re the 4 eyed dudes

dusk patrol
#

Merc dudes

spring cairn
#

uh

languid meadow
#

Bug

arctic talon
#

They’re also like

#

Absurdly Racist 99% of the time you meet them

languid meadow
#

Slavery is cringe

arctic talon
#

It is cringe

plush mason
#

thanks star trek

#

fucking Orions

dusk patrol
#

Tfw Asari spend thousands of years advancing so they can have the two careers, stripper prostitutes or special forces

#

There is no other option

languid meadow
#

At least when turians are racist towards you they at least respect the stuff you do

plush mason
#

every fucking Asari stripper is a commando

arctic talon
#

💀

gray umbra
#

george lucas is honestly not a good writer, the setting is interesting but star wars has some serious issues with pace lol

spring cairn
#

what

arctic talon
#

Asari are so badly written

#

Lol

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Like if you just think about it

#

For a bit

dusk patrol
#

It’s so goofy

arctic talon
#

It’s really cringy

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Literally every other species is like

dusk patrol
#

“Here’s the hot lesbian race who wanna fuck you”

arctic talon
#

Written well

#

And then asari are just

#

💀

gray umbra
#

space elves

arctic talon
#

No

#

They aren’t elves

dusk patrol
#

Better than space elves

#

No uggo men

arctic talon
#

LOL

dusk patrol
#

Just hotties

#

Who are ok with banging ugly guys

languid meadow
#

Solarians are also either evil or nerds

spring cairn
#

well there's no propah men with the elves so

dusk patrol
#

Truly, paradise

arctic talon
#

Salarians are fucking hilarious

dusk patrol
#

Mordin giving you tips on inter species foreplay and potential sexual issues is so hilarious

arctic talon
#

Their entire military is the CIA lol

plush mason
#

Mordin and that one spec ops dude

languid meadow
#

Fucking me3

arctic talon
#

Shame no one ever sees him

#

Because mordin

#

Is the goat

plush mason
#

and i guess that one specter in 3

dusk patrol
#

“Ah yes Shepard you’re tryin to fuck a Quarian, well heres a list of the most comparable sex positions and some herbal supplements and cleansers to use”

languid meadow
#

Please help genocide krogans and I'll help! Looks inside less war support then the krogans

arctic talon
#

Mordin is great as a character

#

Also if you shoot him

#

You’re a bitch

spring cairn
#

krogans are very ugly tbh

#

i'd genocide them

plush mason
#

Mordin literally redeemed his whole race for me

dusk patrol
#

Tbh I think Krogans would admit they’re pretty ugly

plush mason
#

ofc they would

dusk patrol
#

Looking pretty isn’t really a big concern for them

languid meadow
#

And they'd be proud of it

spring cairn
#

plus if a thing is taller than me i think it shouldn't exist

plush mason
#

the krogan are based, just a badass warrior race

dusk patrol
#

Also dude the fucking Krogan and Asari couple where the krogan leaves the poem for her as his last message when he dies

#

Ugh

plush mason
#

the fucking Mandalorians of mass effect

arctic talon
#

Krogan nuked themselves back to the stone age like

#

thrice?

arctic talon
#

Also genuinely as fucked up as it is to say, its a bad idea to cure the genophage without Wrex

#

Wreave is like

spring cairn
#

they all have gamer posture

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

actually a genocidal maniac

spring cairn
#

they really need to work on that

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Like, its kind of tragic

#

but also like holy shit Wreave is comically evil

dusk patrol
#

He’s also stupid at least

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Started playing inn ME2

#

Wrex auto dies

#

💀

plush mason
#

ah yeah

dusk patrol
#

But yeah there’s a reason if Wrex and Eve are dead Mordin is ok with letting it not be cured

plush mason
arctic talon
#

its bad

#

tbh

#

but I guess its in line with what wrex says

#

about going off to die

#

still lame

dusk patrol
#

I bought the one dlc so I could save him back in the day

plush mason
#

dlc?

arctic talon
#

Morinth honestly is also a ???? character

#

like

#

why would you ever side with her

#

lmao

#

and nothing happens in ME3 either

#

if you do it

#

she just fucking dies

#

well I guess she gets turned into a banshee which is honestly even worse

dusk patrol
#

So you didn’t have to play it

plush mason
#

ah

dusk patrol
#

Without it wrex auto dies

languid meadow
#

speaking of choices and bioware, THANK GOD they're getting rid of the keep

#

shit was ass to use

arctic talon
#

the new dragon age looks cool

plush mason
#

so long as whatever world slate they set up isnt dogwater i will be happy

dusk patrol
#

Also turning in legion

arctic talon
#

Hopefully Bioware does not get taken out back

#

and executed

dusk patrol
#

I fucking love how Jacob literally never has a good idea

languid meadow
arctic talon
#

like

dusk patrol
#

If you even listen to him it’s always the worst choice basically

arctic talon
#

?????

#

its so fucking bad

#

I hate it

languid meadow
#

so like alistar being king

dusk patrol
#

Yeah he’s just

#

Awesome

languid meadow
#

stuff that matters

arctic talon
#

I wish jacob wasn't written like shit

#

because there's some stuff thats like

arctic talon
#

vaguely interesting about him?

languid meadow
#

Ashely being a racist ass when im trying to be friends with garrus

dusk patrol
#

He had potential as like the straight man of the crew

arctic talon
#

Vega is infinitely more interesting and likable as generic soldier dude

plush mason
#

Jacob could have been so much better, 3 actually improved him somewhat

arctic talon
#

he literally cheats on you if you romanced him TopKekSphere

dusk patrol
languid meadow
#

yeah I get that but man

arctic talon
#

I don't like Ashley's redesign in 3 ngl

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

Ashley at least has an ok arc though

arctic talon
#

rip short hair

plush mason
#

3 had a lot of design choices that made little to no sense

dusk patrol
#

And her racism is sorta understandable with how she grew up

arctic talon
#

Ashley has a great arc

dusk patrol
#

And she gets over it largely

languid meadow
#

I have heard of people getting jacob killed in the collectors ship

arctic talon
#

even if she blows up and dies

dusk patrol
#

Her having pink armor was so dorky though

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Like, what?

dusk patrol
plush mason
dusk patrol
#

He volunteered

arctic talon
#

he literally volunteers himself

languid meadow
arctic talon
#

its so fucking bad

dusk patrol
#

Why wouldn’t he do that if he wasn’t the best idea?

arctic talon
#

💀

#

Like he's not even

#

a nerd

#

like why the fuck are we having him do it

dusk patrol
#

Jacob is a dude

arctic talon
#

I always sent Legion in because Legion is a Geth

languid meadow
#

I think having jacob die while holding them off is a better way for him to die than the vents

arctic talon
#

also I sort of wish we got the original draft of ME2

#

where like

#

the geth revived Shepard lol

#

and Legion is the first goddamn companion you get

#

because #1 the dialogue is really really funny

dusk patrol
#

Bringing Legion on Talia’s mission kinda unhinged play through

arctic talon
#

Like Legion has so much funny fucking dialogue

#

you never get to hear

#

because of how late you get them

dusk patrol
#

Yeah it sucks he’s so late in the game

plush mason
#

i am glad 3 gave us the option to let the geth and quarians co-exist

arctic talon
plush mason
#

even if it cost us legion

arctic talon
#

I think ME2 would be infinitely better

#

if it didn't have to be split across 2 disks

#

there were like major rewrites because of that 💀

#

also Cerberus in 3 all of a sudden becoming a massive fucking organization is ????

#

like how the fuck

languid meadow
#

I love how the turian pulls the racist card

plush mason
#

like

arctic talon
#

No like

plush mason
#

insanely so

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

so massively militarized

#

is more so my point

plush mason
#

ah

arctic talon
#

Cerberus was always big but like

plush mason
#

well it makes sense as that was their end goal

arctic talon
#

how the fuck do they have an army that big

#

out of nowhere

dusk patrol
#

Oh my God, the stupid fucking ninja dude

arctic talon
#

Kai Leng

#

or whatever?

languid meadow
#

yea

arctic talon
#

Coldsteel the Edgehog

dusk patrol
#

Yeah, there suddenly a Galactic superpower out of absolutely nowhere

arctic talon
#

I think if ME2 had shown them

#

slowly building up military forces

#

idk

#

ME2 kind of feels the weakest of the three

#

at times

plush mason
#

they where making it in secret and then they go some reaper tech to super charge the process

dusk patrol
#

It’s got some very strong dialogue and characters, but the actual plot is really stupid yeah

#

Also, they kind of just hand wave away the whole giant reaper made out of humans thing for the other races

plush mason
#

part of me regrets blowing up the collector base

#

just because i want to see how crazy it buffs Cerberus

dusk patrol
#

It changes basically nothing

#

I think it’s mostly bad but it changes war assists slightly

plush mason
#

ofc

#

fucking Bioware

dusk patrol
#

I think they mostly did a good job. It’s not perfect but

#

It was extremely ambitious and overall I enjoyed it

arctic talon
#

ME3 multiplayer is so much fun

#

also

#

you get to play as a Geth Prime

plush mason
#

yeah its just, they always manage to drop the ball when it comes to transferring the consequences of your choices to the next title

dusk patrol
#

I mean the same as any game that does that

plush mason
#

true

dusk patrol
#

It turns out writing for that is really fucking hard

plush mason
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

or I guess geth Juggernaut

#

lol

#

geth juggernaut being able to face tank the instant kill attacks

#

is so funny

plush mason
#

i guess its just because Bioware is really good with impactful consequences in their writing that makes it stand out more

arctic talon
#

funniest class in multiplayer

#

tbh

#

the next mass effect game seems like it has to be the destroy ending

#

which I guess

plush mason
#

nah it has the AI shep

#

it still has relays

arctic talon
#

Does it?

#

oh huh

#

I thought one of the first teasers was a human made relay

plush mason
#

there is no way in hell they rebuilt the relays in that short amount of time

arctic talon
#

yeah this was one of the first fucking teasers

#

looks like a humanish relay to me

#

or at least one under construction

plush mason
#

huh i guess i missed that

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

no

#

its mass effect

rose thorn
#

Oh okay

arctic talon
#

mass effect 5? idfk what they're gona call the next game

#

lol

rose thorn
#

I was gonna say that looked way too competent and doesn’t look smooth enough for tau

arctic talon
#

It seems like its in development hell to me

plush mason
#

its 4

#

Andromida was a spin off

dusk patrol
#

I wouldn’t be shocked if they retconned the endings a bit

arctic talon
#

I think its most likely

#

tbh

#

also the weird geth teaser

#

with like the geth head and dead geth

plush mason
#

how can the geth still be around if they used the destory ending?

arctic talon
#

I think its going to mash the endings together

#

lol

#

in some form

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

Or maybe destroy didn’t work

#

Or didn’t fully

#

Who knows though

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Mass effect 3 multiplayer

#

my beloved

#

Playing as geth was a dream come true for like

plush mason
#

yeah but i want a geth character for the campaign

arctic talon
#

middle school me

plush mason
#

geth or krogan

#

if the MC is a human again im not gona get 4

arctic talon
#

ME3 didn't have a Krogan or Geth companion

#

huh

#

well I guess you have Legion temporarily

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

Another funny new video game thing. New dragon age compared to old age dragon age

plush mason
arctic talon
#

lol

crisp heath
#

Big ass head

plush mason
#

"lets take an example of all the face sliders to max and use it as a base for the whole game"

#

its like saying the same about a fucking darksouls characters

crisp heath
#

I’m not playing it anyway it’s just really funny looking

plush mason
#

yeah its made to be

#

VG will also be the first bioware game with actual body alteration

arctic talon
#

please don't be open world

plush mason
#

its not

arctic talon
plush mason
#

much closer to 2

#

highly liniar with some exploration

plush mason
#

its taken them how many years for this to happen?

#

not counting SWTOR ofc because they wherent doing all the coding for that afaik

#

and even then thats just 4 preset body shapes and heights

rocky gale

But Open World
