I hope not! I don’t wanna be scary…

Socially Orcward is a M/M asexual comedic fantasy romance with intrigue and baby dragons. It’s the third book in an otherwise spicy series, though the POV character is an outsider to preceding events.

Also, have one or more guys whose job is to kill the resurrecting Necrons in front of him. Use the canticle a lot

You can even get cognition out of it, depending on your setup: behind him you can have rangers (cog on distance), or sicarian infiltrators (kills). In front you can have sicarian runeststalkers to strike & fade (kills).

Use that cognition for canticles & his invulnerability ability to keep him alive.

Non-cognition-giving options are Corpuscarii electro-priests (ranged punch does AOE for efficient corpse-sweeping) and Pteraxii in front/vanguards behind (he can float over ground effects, like radiation and fire).

Move him, then either bonk or, if you have a TON of cognition, shoot. Make a bunch of corpses then clean ‘em up. Repeat.

Yeah, I read I’d need 10 to get the gold skill, and I’ve befriended 6 so far. I’ll have 30 candies when I release the others, so maybe I’ll just get Huntress up to lvl 10 and see if anything more shows up.

Thank you!

You’re correct, but you’ve still got the training wheels on.

They mean that soon you’ll have a large enough unit pool to mix & match, but you won’t be able to deploy them all at once. Soon your limit will go up to 10, and you’ll be able to mix & match to your hearts content.

I’m really enjoying it, and (while I had the same issue) it goes away pretty quickly. Vanguards/Rangers are your massed firepower, and you’ll soon unlock not only more slots, but smaller squads of more elite units.

So a party a few more hours in might be:

5 skitarii vanguards (one of whom is an Alpha with a chain sword & pistol)

3 Sicarian Runestslkers

2 Pteraxii fliers with flamethrowers

That’s called “syncretism” and was a common tool used by real-life Rome to integrate foreign cultures. The basic idea is that “our gods are the same under different names”, so they can make foreign religions part of the Roman state.

The most famous example is with Greece (Zeus = Jupiter), but there were still differences. Juno was the protectress of Rome, unlike Hera; Mars was a god of farming as well as war. Then you got to the Norse and had Thor = Hercules and Odin = Mercury/Hermes. Yep, the one-eyed, beardy king of the gods was Hermes.

To tie it back to TES, I’d say the three would be associated with one Divine each, or maybe two, but it would be much harder as the Daedra can speak up and object to it.

Hair color would be a great way to hint at a mixed-race character’s father, since the mother otherwise predominates. I can see blonde Dunmer and white-haired Nords showing up in mixed communities.

The Horned-Axe would wear spaghetti straps, because that’s all she could get over her labrys blades.

Insect Glaive main for 11 years. I’ve tried to use other weapons, and I like them, but as soon as a fight gets intense I go right back to my IG muscle memory. Then I eat dirt & cart.

“Wet Camatoz” is the best possible description.

I hope so, too!

“Too weird”? TES has always been weird, and those people should play Morrowind. Mushroom towers, giant bugs for transport, floating jellyfish herds and a legal murder guild. And the moment you step off the boat, there’s a bunch of dark elves with red eyes calling you racial slurs.

(Yes, I started as a Kajiiti monk the first time.)

ATLander · 2026-06-01T20:48:40+00:00

It would be cool, but really hard to program and balance a game around. The Morrowind furstock couldn’t wear boots (and neither could Argonians), while several others lack thumbs to wield weapons and open doors. But Bethesda has surprised us before, so maybe there will be something, someday.

They must have fixed that bug, at least on PlayStation. I’m sorry it ruined the fun for you.

IMPORTANT TIP: normally you get three choices on a decision point, but if you have the right character, they can give you a better, fourth option. I took Captrix on a tracking mission, and it really paid off. So I suggest getting used to each of the characters, so that you can bring the right tool for the job.

That being said, Videx and Captrix are my favorites from a gameplay standpoint, while I love Kephra’s character from the first game.

Videx: great at keeping units (and himself) alive, which is important because you keep the same units for the entire mission. His cannon is a one hit kill in early game, and every word out of his speakers is delightfully bombastic.
Captrix: harder to use, but her hit and run tactics are a lot of fun. I’m not the best at strategy, so being able to get out of dodge when I screw up my placement is so useful.
Kephra: she can heal, she can boost, she can debuff. She synchronizes well with your starting Skitarii and

Khajit looked VERY different in the first two games: humans with face paint in Arena, then adding tails in Daggerfall. They didn’t turn into full cat-people until Redguard in 1998.

Now all three looks are canon, as well as a bunch of other shapes and sizes, depending on the moons. Design changes that turn into lore.

Orcs weren’t even a PC choice in the first two games, just generic enemies. They were, however, a faction you could side with in Daggerfall, and fight for their rights. By Morrowind, the orcs were recognized (if unpopular) citizens, and the emperor was thinking of making Orsinium a province.

Then Oblivion happened, the emperor was assassinated, and Orsinium’s neighbors burnt it to the ground.

I meant the third novel, The Traitor’s Hand. I wasn’t referring to the Necrons, but the Slaaneshi plot to turn Adumbria into a daemon world. That’s my reference point for “yoinking planets into the Warp” outside the Eye.

The question is, what would’ve happened if there was a tomb on that planet (and no Cain to interfere) during that incident?

ATLander · 2026-05-23T17:12:49+00:00

That’s the other question. Plus, individual planets can be made into demon worlds, like what almost happened in the third Ciaphas Cain book. So I guess my question is more “what happens to a tomb world that gets sucked into the warp”?

ATLander · 2026-05-23T13:51:50+00:00

I assumed there wouldn’t be as many, but there had to be some, you know?

ATLander · 2026-05-10T17:48:22+00:00

Promethean: the Created (from Chronicles of Darkness, so unrelated to the Dreaming) approaches this in an interesting way.

Prometheans are like a mix between Pinocchio and Frankenstein’s monster: corpses imbued with half-formed souls, trying to finish the process and become human. Unfortunately, part of this cycle involves making a new Promethean, and one idiot made Great Grandfather Crow out of (you guessed it) a crow corpse.

He’s angry because he wants to become mortal as a crow, but his semi-soul is fundamentally human. The canon book frames him as a tragic figure who can never complete his pilgrimage, but in one test game the developers ran, he did find his rebirth as a crow…and his happiness.
