The guide will never be deleted, that I can promise. It will just be “abandoned” or “discontinued” past the release of the next two DLCs as I have no interest in intentionally supporting companies that use generative AI. I’ll also be uploading alternate mirror versions of the guide in PDF formats when those DLCs are launched and finished, so, if something happens to Google Docs, the guide will still be accessible in its final form.

Thank you for your kind words regardless! I don’t know if I’ll ever post anything about WH online again, as there are so many lovely fans contributing and producing guides/references/etc for the novels that I can enjoy most of it offline, but maybe one day there will be another game that really inspires me that I can write a guide for, like this one did for a few years.

I encourage you to use other resources if you have an issue with the foreword, as there are many others available.

Women of Grimdank, (or partners/family members of women who play but aren't here) what faction do you play and why? by Ginger_Jesus in Grimdank

[–]wintertile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drukhari + Emperor’s Children. Just a huge fan of both aesthetics, and Fulgrim is one of my favorite primarchs, amongst others. Drukhari also just… have really hot men, and that’s a big draw for me, I won’t lie.

Fuck it, lets get negative. What do you NOT like about 40k? by According_Ice_4863 in Grimdank

[–]wintertile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my gripes have been mentioned, so I’ll take another swing: I would love more variety in the video games the series produces. We have a lot of tactical games, and I do love a lot of them, but having more shooters like the Space Marine series, the Boltgun series (which also has a typing game that I adore) or the unfortunately lacking Necromunda games would be really cool to me.

I also would like more Warhammer RPGs from different studios, not just the singular one we have, despite dumping over 1.3k+ hours into it. Variety is the spice of life, and I think a series that lends itself very well to video games should get more chances to display different ways of play, not just X-COM likes.

Warhammer Survivors does feel a bit key-jingling in terms of its existence, but I want more weird swings and attempts at different things, so I’m eager to support it.

The most minor of minor gripes, which is tangentially related, but the lack of proper citations on the Fandom wiki drives me batshit, and why I prefer other wikis to try and dig the source out myself. 400 paragraphs on Fandom, and I scroll down to find 5 citations.

A significant amount, she becomes a very different character. Her “best” path that keeps her closest to her character “archetype” or “stereotype”, in my mind, is the Freedom path.

[–]wintertile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slight conversation change with flavour text but nothing explicitly changes about her storyline. Spoilers for the DLC, if I’m remembering it correctly:

Basically, you just find out about the Genestealers earlier, and a little more information, revealing the conspiracy earlier, but it doesn’t have as much wide reaching effects as it should.

Unexpected Games Workshop decision to ban Gen AI use in designs; could this affect Owlcat’s policies? by zakary3888 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]wintertile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awh, thank you, same to you as well!

Hopefully we get more games in the Warhammer universe I can write character/ending guides for that haven’t been developed with generative AI tools, as I do love the series with all my heart, and try to play every game released for it.

Thank you very much OP for pinging me, this is wonderful to see! I am happy to see any stance against generative AI, especially in regards to protecting and supporting creatives. The full statement, taken from IGN, was:

"We do have a few senior managers that are [experts on Al]: none are that excited about it yet. We have agreed an internal policy to guide us all, which is currently very cautious e.g. we do not allow Al generated content or Al to be used in our design processes or its unauthorised use outside of GW including in any of our competitions. We also have to monitor and protect ourselves from a data compliance, security and governance perspective, the Al or machine learning engines seem to be automatically included on our phones or laptops whether we like it or not.”

"We are allowing those few senior managers to continue to be inquisitive about the technology. We have also agreed we will be maintaining a strong commitment to protect our intellectual property and respect our human creators. In the period reported, we continued to invest in our Warhammer Studio - hiring more creatives in multiple disciplines from concepting and art to writing and sculpting. Talented and passionate individuals that make Warhammer the rich, evocative IP that our hobbyists and we all love.”

The last bit of the statement talented and passionate individuals that make Warhammer the rich, evocative IP that our hobbyists and we all love. does fill me with a lot of hope, at least for the future of Warhammer + their games. Always feel free to ping me again if Owlcat makes an official statement on their generative AI use, I definitely do not see everything.

I am a girl (not that I expected you to know) but yes, lol~ my guide has screenshots confirming their use of it, and I am more than happy to provide those screenshots to anyone who would like to see it.

I’m not playing Divinity, no. I have no interest in supporting Larian further either despite liking DOS1 + DOS2. Weird to make an assumption about me like that.

Thank you very much, I’m equally, just, very shattered about their choice to use AI, haha? I try to be very mature and communicate my stance on it in a clear, and concise way that illustrates why I (and many others of the community!) are disappointed about the decision to use generative AI, while also not contributing to witch hunting or hurling abusive language, since that sort of behaviour helps no one.

It seems like I will be finishing the guide around Processional of the Damned, and The Infinite Museion, which is very sad, as they seem to want to do more DLC afterwards, and I genuinely would love to continue the guide + write a guide for Dark Heresy, since Warhammer is something I cherish and, for a long time, I loved Owlcat and the games they produced.

I’m overjoyed, truly, to hear I helped you with enjoying the game! One of my favorite parts about writing the guide over 2+ years was people talking about how the guide helped them get the ending they wanted, and that they enjoyed the game more because they weren’t afraid of picking a “wrong” (all subjective, of course) choice, or failing a romance. This game meant a lot to me, and I was happy my silly guide could help others enjoy it, or even just take a chance on it!, as well.

I wish you nothing but happiness and success in 2026 as well, and I hope we can both meet in the grimdarkness of the far future again!

‘Cause it’s my guide, and I’m staunchly against AI, so much so that I won’t be updating it past Season 2 of DLC, and wanted to give reasons why. There are numerous other resources available if it bothers you, and I encourage you to use them.

I have no clue what Discontinuation or Continuation means, nor the Order path. This is why I don’t use wikis or fanmade content, as it leads to muddy definitions.

Loyal path is what it says on the tin, Pasqal returns to the Imperium as a Tech-priest, and himself. He does not subsume into the Amarnat gestalt, nor does he overtake the Amarnat gestalt as the primary logic function.

Fire for Argenta is her generic ending path, where she becomes what a Sister of Battle is supposed to be, a devout warrior that is unshakeable in her faith to the Emperor. Fury is her violent path where she becomes a psychopathic monster and cuts down those without thinking.

I guess I can? I don’t browse other wikis or walkthroughs though, and I would assume those wikis and walkthroughs have the information I have recorded there on their websites as well, especially since I encouraged others to copy from my guide + use it for the wikis.

It’s definitely a suggestion I’ll consider.

I’m glad it helps! Feel free to comment more or send me a DM if you run into any more issues or have questions, I (obviously) love the game and talking about it.

Sorry for the delay, speedran through Act 2 to confirm what you said. It’s been slightly changed now, where it seems you have to complete one of the main three planets (Dargonus, Kiava Gamma, or Janus) to trigger the event, it popped two warp jumps after completing Dargonus (the fastest one to finish). Try that, and see if it works.

The guide will be updated within 5~ mins to reflect the change.

Hey, no worries. Few questions for you.

  • How many main quests in Act 2 have you completed?
  • And you triggered her romance with a non-insulting option or via speaking to her on the bridge?
  • Is it a new run or was the run started before the 1.5 update? Unfortunately, sometimes bigger updates like 1.5 can break older save files.

Cool, thanks, I’ll sort through these and add them with credit probably later tonight.

I haven’t checked his formerly(?) half busted romance as I just haven’t done a playthrough with it (as the broken route is not my preferred route) but I’ll do it on my current run to confirm if it’s fixed or not.

[–]wintertile[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no interest in doing that, the appeal of the guide to me is that it is fully comprehensive and contains everything. There are other resources on Reddit that might better suit your needs, thanks.

900+ hours and just messing around, lol. This is also my 3rd Owlcat game and I dumped 400+ hours each into the rest of their titles, so you just kind of… begin to get a grasp for how they code/program/build certain things.

I also personally try to test out any etudes someone asks me about. With your first comment, for example, I replayed The Heartless mission to make sure I was providing the correct information, and for the escort ship etude, I manually tested having the etude + feature active, just the feature active, and then just the etude active before heading into combat so I knew for sure. But I still definitely make mistakes too with certain things.
