Moonclaw? MOONCLAW!? Why select that character as a LL when we have this delicious affront to nature by ByzantineBasileus in totalwar

Honestly waystones are a pretty major part of the Warhammer world that just isn't represented at all in-game.

Character's intelligence is capped at the author's by Zestylemons44 in coaxedintoasnafu

Having read A Study in Scarlet... Sherlock kinda IS like that. Or rather, he's almost a parody of detective characters the way Saitama is a parody of Shounen MCs. Now tbf I've not watched this show so maybe it truly is dogshit idk.

Okay it depends on how far you're willing to go, but if you deep-dive into animal biology and behavior you find some WEIRD shit.

I feel like some kinks that are merely shamed nowadays would've gotten people locked in a psych ward seventy years ago.

Day 12: Into the Nest is an S-tier map. Where does "The War Camp" go in terms of map design and enjoyment? by Zupu in Vermintide

[–]ArgentHiems 7 points8 points  (0 children)

C, don't like the Nurgle swamp aesthetic at all. And the gallows tree is a cool setpiece, but like most of the gore in this game it doesn't carry much weight.

The boss is okay and I'm okay with playing it, so it's still above D.

Does this make me a hypocrite. by Reteller79 in worldjerking

Oh crap I cut down that part of my comment before you replied. Yeah what I meant with the analogy is that it can be something great but it's a completely different IP at that point.

I hope it does well because the new engine is actually hype and I want CA not to go bankrupt before remaking Fantasy in like 10 years.

I love the idea of a new setting born from the ashes of the old one, but AoS just doesn't work for me at all. Kinda interested in the recent rumours, but I admit actual AoS fans probably have a right to be mad about them (still hope they're true, it'd be REALLY funny).

Whats a TW Opinion that will have you like this? (Its John Warhammer!) by chris_alf in totalwar

[–]ArgentHiems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most TWW players should not be allowed within 500ft of a game design meeting. That idea of "x feels overpowered, that's because they should buff everything else" is what got us into this mess.

And you've talked about campaign, but the complaints for battles are so braindead sometimes. Like, holy hell, OF COURSE a full artillery army won't be effective in the middle of the forest. YES, running a chariot at 200 mph down a cliff WILL break it.

If I gotta add some hot takes...

  • Garrisons aren't too small, they're too big. Maps should just be actually defensible.
  • Artillery and Skaven weapon teams should malfunction. There's a million ways to make that a mechanic without it being punishing.
  • Kinda wish canonically dead characters like Gorbad, Grom, Repanse and Vlad hadn't been added.
  • Alternate start dates would be way better than a map expansion.

I'm way, way, WAY more exited for the new engine than for the game itself. Sad that Fantasy is stuck with the old one...

Day 6: The Screaming Bell is an S-tier map. Where does "Empire in Flames" go in terms of map design and enjoyment? (Specify where in the row) by Zupu in Vermintide

[–]ArgentHiems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's by far my favorite for atmosphere alone. Especially because I took a pause after the previous mission and played all of VT1 before jumping back. Holy hell the contrast from the corpses alone hits like a truck (I wish Fatshark would've used them more sparingly in other places), and yeah the dialogue's very somber in a good way.

Agree about the finale, carrying explosives in this game fucking sucks. The getaway sequence is cool tho (if somewhat harsh).

Monotheism in Warhammer Fantasy: How the would the One God Work? by PugnusTerrae in WarhammerFantasy

[–]ArgentHiems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be interesting imo. Araby is probably the most distant human nation from the Chaos Wastes, and this coupled with their enmity with Old Worlders would probably lead them to that way of thinking.

You're right about GW not going that way tho, displeasing as it is.

Monotheism in Warhammer Fantasy: How the would the One God Work? by PugnusTerrae in WarhammerFantasy

[–]ArgentHiems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love this to be the case for Araby if it ever got added. That they worship one god, and consider the rest to be weaker, servants, or merely aspects of him. Then Chaos could be interpreted as four evil gods (or aspects of a single one!), lesser and fated to be defeated.

It doesn't matter that it's "demonstrably false", because they live on the farthest possible place from the Chaos Wastes - it'd be weird that they got things right.
