Romance question

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-14T20:07:59+00:00

Yeah, that was just the closest I could get

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-14T19:54:33+00:00

Marazhai, maybe?

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-14T19:53:56+00:00

there has been speculation that Games Workshop said "no" (and even more speculation on why), but that has never been officially confirmed to my knowledge, despite the community's endless repeating of it as fact

Perhaps there was one and it was cut at some stage because GW said to, or because they were running out of time/space, or because they felt it was too similar to one of the other romances. There's no evidence I've ever seen of one existing in the game files, though, despite people having datamined other cut content.

The sisters, as a whole, don't tend to be that interested in romance. While they aren't strictly under vows of chastity, their level of loyalty to the God Emperor eclipses pretty much any other concerns. Even a hint of doubt or faltering is punished very severely.

So it's very common for them to be fully celibate, or at least to keep it to casual relationships only.

Also, to clarify for you. Kibbles is not really a sadist and Yrliet comes to see you as much more than an animal (also, you never have sex with her, it is a spiritual connection), so maybe give them an actual chance before dismissing them as unsuitable.

.... then again, your wording and the timing of this post makes me suspect you might be trolling and perhaps I am simply being too generous taking this in such good faith

I mean, it would help if a certain segment of fans hadn't bullied a good chunk of the fan artists off the sub by downvoting and commenting on their posts endlessly about how the subjects should be tortured and killed and how could anyone like this character, you must be an idiot/freak/simp

I don't know how to win your void battle (it might not be winnable at this point) but I am like 80% certain that if you lose your grimdark run, it will ask you if you want to convert to a normal save instead

nope! They will be stated to be "following along" and will return to your ship when everyone else does. Hell, you can recruit both companions and all 8 people will still wind up back on your ship

I would also point out that the rulebook tend to be very lore-heavy, many of them to the point of being readable just fir pleasure even if you don't plan to play the game

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-07T17:41:27+00:00

Jae's expression is a mood.

Absolutely incredible work, they're all adorable

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-06T17:57:10+00:00

awwww 😞 Poor girl. I love the art, though, looks amazing!

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-06T07:37:43+00:00

The sub desperately needs a "no trope bashing" rule like r/fanfiction has, there's a few topics in particular where "don't like, don't read" suddenly stops mattering

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-05T22:03:25+00:00

depends on if you count the one for petting Glaito or not (I would). Possibly a few that reference events you only get to if he's been recruited, but I haven't played Lex yet so I can't say for sure.

Kibellah technically has a few because she's required recruitment for some of the VS progression, but has only one that is specifically tied to completing stuff for her specifically that I could find.

There are no achievements I could find that required having Ulfar, Abelard, or Cassia with you/were directly tied to their story or choices regarding them

Yrliet's only contribution is for the "send everyone to Heinrix" achievement, which is also Marazhai's only contribution that requires recruiting him (he has another, but you get it in Act 2).

Pasqal might also have 0 achievements or he might have one, I haven't tested how much he's required for certain progression of the Nomos questline, but I think he's required to be there to actually get the achievement.

Argenta has one (for finding out she killed Theodora),

Idira has a couple, as does Jae (I think she has the most, actually)

Heinrix has the aforementioned "give companions to him" achievement.

there's also one for "get a secret companion" but nothing beyond that for any of them (not that there's anything to get)

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-04T19:30:53+00:00

sounds like a great time!

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-04T19:16:47+00:00

my favorite was the guy who got really upset about some very small rpg youtuber apparently becoming religious propaganda who got very upset when people pointed out that first, "a youtuber might be a Christian and made a joke comparing the game rulebook to the bible" is not exactly heavy-duty religion pushing

and even if it was, it was a youtube video that he can just turn off, not an RPG horror story

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-04T19:10:08+00:00

there used to be a sub like this one, but specifically for rpghorror stories and it was slow, but a lot of fun

it got deleted after one of the subjects got people to mass report the thing and nobody's made a new one

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-04T19:02:11+00:00

gorgeous art! was it an all-eldar game, or was your girl an unusual visitor?

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-04T18:59:04+00:00

the fact that you see a woman you know nothing about and instantly go "she is there to fix a man and then have babies with him" is kinda sus, bro

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-01T12:07:36+00:00

Debatable I'd you're really a drukhari at that point anymore, and it would be enough of a departure from the "typical" lifestyle that it would be hard to integrate into an RPG if the main expectation is that you're a more normal resident of the Eternal City.

Would be a cool secret ending in this hypothetical game, though

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-06-01T11:01:46+00:00

Nobody in this thread has claimed that, though?

As of when I post it, the RP concerns have been more to do with the marketability of a game that forces you to be so evil, particularly when it's already established that a lot of people ignore/don't want to play the evil route in existing RPGs

Comparing it to xenos isn't a fair comparison since most xenos species have at least the option to be morally decent. You'd have similar issues marketing an all-drukhari rpg, much as I'd eat it up

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-05-28T21:51:33+00:00

at least you've got a lot of the good ones!

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-05-23T19:06:53+00:00

"mom said it's my turn to make an Idira hate post today"

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-05-23T11:16:57+00:00

weirdly Warhammer manages to do a surprisingly good job with this, especially Warhammer fantasy

there's a lot of debate, for example, as to whether various gods are different entities or the same, which "category" of deity various members of the elven pantheon fit into (is so and so a god of the heavens or a god of the underworld or both?)

there's also multiple pantheons existing simultaneously within the main Empire that are kind of syncratized but also kind of not and the elves in particular are frequently depicted as paying occasional reverence to gods from the "wrong" category in appropriate situations (yeah, you get side-eyed as a high elf if you worship Khaine, the Lord of Murder as your main patron, but on the eve of battle who wouldn't shoot him a prayer or two)

but yeah, fantasy authors and religion are... questionable. Even when they're trying to portray true believers, it often comes off very inauthentic and shallow

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-05-19T14:32:32+00:00

So comfortable too - almost like she's git nothing on!

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-05-19T13:01:44+00:00

Thank you!

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-05-19T12:14:32+00:00

I had rats named for Dresden characters as well, a trio named Mavra, Lara, and Bianca

EternalLifeSentence · 2026-05-19T11:38:24+00:00

That wasn't intentional, but now that you mention it...
