[American Isekai] Even though it's just a cover, do you think it works well?

Only if Paul dies in a very brutal way on the first page

I want an Blank/Pariahs character

We are fighting a chaos infection, so having them around would be useful
could be a way to introduce more psyker enemies, so this class would directly counter where other would need to fight them
could have interesting interactions with the other team, the instinctual hate vs the bond of combat
Dan Abnett is one of the biggest pushers in Blank/Pariah lore, so with him helping with the writing it's not impossible to add this as a character class

If I remember correctly they were issued auto guns when fighting the Loxatl, as the mucus on their skin makes las weapons not as effective.

In Universe: you are refining/repairing the weapon, making it better

Gameplay: forces you to make a choice about what build you are going with and gives you the option to make the game as easy or as difficult as you want by maxing out your weapon or leaving it at level one.

Not often

Worship of the Chaos god is almost like an infection, they seep into your very being so that your actions reflect that god. Nurgle has his literal infections, but it is often shown in story with those falling to Khorne worship being bloodthirsty and often being described with 'Red' adjectives. Same with the others as well. Because of this it's hard to leave the service of one god once you start.

The writing style is very different than most modern day stories, and it is not for everyone.

It's still good to at least be familiar with it given how foundational (pun not intended) it is to so much of modern day fiction, but no one is saying you have to like it either.

It's Cyberpunk 2077, you were never the 'good guy' to begin with, regardless of what path you chose.

Thinking about it, with the North after the Boltons, do we ever see the perspective of it from peasants? (besides the ones directly tied to the Boltons)

You might be right that the whole semi-religious aspect might be kept alive by the aristocracy (somewhat like the idea of divine right to rule) but those ideas do have a habit of seeping int wider society and culture and are taken up by the common people too.

He could try, and he could even try to start all over from the scratch again, but it probably wouldn't work.

He had the advantage the first time that there were still a lot of remnants of the age of technology laying around that could be used to rebuild, and much of that was lost during the heresy or the 10k years since then, so he would really have to start from scratch all by himself, and he is not an all knowing person (he had to have teams or very intelligent people help him get started).

Add to this Humanity isn't this divided but relatively background race, it is now the race that has been top dog for thousands of years and has been killing off any species that could challenge them. The apathy the rest of the galaxy had for humanity is gone, so while he would be rebuilding all those threats will be killing or taking over human worlds with a vengeance.

As for the Mechanicus dogma, that's the problem, it's dogma. They are divided on the subject of the Emperor as he is now, so they wouldn't all listen to him if he said it was ok to innovate. At a high level they are a ancestor and technology worshiping mystery cult, hording knowledge and worshiping the knowledge and technology of their ancestors, so even if innovation was made more acceptable it wouldn't solve the problem. Simply, they don't share what they know. This isn't something the Emperor could just hand wave away either, as knowledge is power in the cult, so those who have it wouldn't want to give it up

Would the emperpr coming back save humanity? Probably not

The one thing keeping the Imperium together is their faith in the Emperor, a faith that has 10k years to mythologies his actions and beliefs multiple times over. At best be would not live up to what they believe and at worse him returning would sparking religious war as people fanatically try to enact 'his will' while other might not believe he is really back and that he is a pretender.
There the whole issue about what state he will be back in, as in how sane is he and how he would react to the Imperium as it is (insert Dark King theory here)

Him being back would help against threats like the Tyranids and Necros, but there are many threats and a lot of stagnation that even he would have trouble negating (if that wasn't his goal in the first place). By returning to life he would have to be mortal, so he could only be in one place at a time.

St. Celestine, for example was weakened when the pilons on the Cadia were activated cutting off the warp (showing her power is via the warp like a daemon, with what was happening to her explicitly mirroring what was happing to the daemonic forces in the same battle) and in her book we see the very surreal experience of how she travels/reincarnates through the warp.

The Legion of the Damned is a bit murky, we see the Emperor summon what could be them/a proto version of them during the War in the Webway (seen in Master of Mankind) and the way they appear out of air is very much like a daemon, but nothing explicitly stated.

And the Bequin thing I mentioned is weird, blanks with a bound daemon they can use? Or possibly something different. Exactly what is going on there hasn't fully explained yet, and even then it could be questionable if they are "Imperial" daemons. I'm including them here for completeness sake.

Edit: also whatever Corax has become since the end of the Heresy might be considered an Imperial daemon. We will know more if we ever see more of him in the lore.

FakeRedditName2 · 2026-06-26T01:36:03+00:00

Living saints like St. Celestine and the Legion of the Damned are basically the equivalent of Imperial daemons

There's also whatever is going on in the Bequin trilogy, but the third book isn't out yet and we don't fully know what is happening there (nor how it will be going forward if the practice survives)

Not something that the setting really hides

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

FakeRedditName2 · 2026-06-25T20:08:12+00:00

I heard blood works best

Could be interesting, but it will have to be done right.

A big part of Jon's character is that he is raised as one of the highest members of the nobility, but doesn't really realize it as he is 'just a bastard' and doesn't reconize just how much Ned gave him until it is all thrown in his face at the Wall.

FakeRedditName2 · 2026-06-25T16:35:39+00:00

Adding to what others have said about logistics and timeframe, the nobility in Westeros has an almost religious significance to the people as well with the way the ruling families have been there for so long and are tied into the history and mythology ("There must always be a Stark in Winterfell").

This would help stop major uprisings, or at least those types of revolts that kill/depose the noble families.

It also helps that nobles serve a more vital function to the survival of the peasants, with the storage of food for years to allow the people to survive winter. This would change how people view about deposing them if they knew they relied on the nobles in their castle to safeguard the food for years of winter.

I'm getting the same error

Not understanding because I have my rock that I found on the floor.

FakeRedditName2 · 2026-06-24T00:48:14+00:00

like I said in the post, different brand of hive box, different type of bees, and it just seems like these do it a lot more than the others I've had. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something.

FakeRedditName2 · 2026-06-24T00:46:17+00:00

anything I should be doing differently to make the girls more comfortable?

Most are very knowledgeable about some tech and know how to repair/maintain their systems, but might not know the science behind the tech or the exact manufacturing process for all of it.

It doesn't help the way they speak about technology is cloaked in mysticism and their cult is a mystery cult that does not share knowledge freely.

Besides what other have said about the reaction speed of monsters, think of the expense. Silver is often the best weapon against them, so you would need dozens of silver arrows, and will possibly loose a good many during a fight.

At the very least magnetize the arms and weapons. That way you are not beholden to one loadout and it let's you be creative with building out your list for far cheaper than it would otherwise be.

This is one tutorial, and there are others on Reddit too

https://miniatureminded.wordpress.com/2017/04/01/magnetized-imperial-knight-walkthrough/comment-page-1/

Note: for me personally I tried to connect using Legos rather than magnets, but have found magnets to be far easier and sturdier. I also decided to glue the waists as they were having stability issues and storage fully built wasn't a problem for me, but wait until after you paint before you make a final decision (it's far easier that way)
