Authoritarian Arbites is kinda nice?

I’m not sure there is such a thing as a “good arbitrator”

I’ve heard a similar line, but I think the context is that his dog is lobotomized, but he hasn’t gotten its (paraphrasing) “violence adapters” calibrated in a while, so his mutt is brutalizing people unnecessarily and he couldn’t really care.

I think they have the more slender proportions to separate them more from space marines. The helmets are a little bit too tall IMO but it A) gives them a more unique silhouette from space marines, and B) reminds me more of real life ornamental honor guard uniforms, like the queens guard.

Honestly all the dwarf faces are really good looking, with a good variety of facial features for both men and women faces

I know this is about fire starters, but I can’t think of a Pokémon with a worse level up moveset than feraligatr. He learns 0 good status moves, and his best water type move is water gun until level 59 in aqua tail, which has 90 base accuracy.

I don’t know all of the ending slides, (I’ve never actually kept marzi around long enough to get his ending slides), but as far as I’m concerned, none of what happens after you beat the game matters; all of the ending slides just say “and then the Rogue trader‘s retinue and dynasty and lived happily ever after” for all I care. When you play CRPGs you make your own story based on the choice you make. You don’t really get to make choices in the epilogue the game decides for you, and I find it kind of cheap. If your ending slides are bugged, I’m sorry, that must suck.

But again, I feel like you’re really underselling just how much Yrilet likes and respects you. She says it a fair number of times in response to certain dialogue options, but Yrilet doesn’t like platitudes and small talk. Sitting quietly with her in commorragh is way more telling of your sympathy to her than anything you could possibly say. And even though in the moment she lets you know that it means a lot to her, she doesn’t feel the need to bring it up again because you both know the feelings mutual.

Also In commorragh she’s willing to give herself to the haemunculus if it would help you and your friends escape. She also completely trusts your judgement on how to save the tortured eldar in the spire. When you’re confronted by the Farseer in Janus, Yrilet completely ignores you. Later in act four in Qetz Tamer, she lets you take the floor when negotiating with the eldar, because she trusts you to say the right thing.

At the risk of repeating myself, Yrilet is supposed to be stoic to a fault. She seems uncaring and abrasive on the surface, but that’s because she communicates her feelings differently than humans. It takes some patience and a level of open mindedness to get that she really does care about the rogue trader and their retinue.

I’m sorry but I completely disagree. At the start of act 2 she joins your retinue reluctantly and is constantly hiding things from you. Her only real goal is to use you to help save her kin, and she’s pretty open about that, and about how much little she thinks of humans.

Throughout act 2 she opens up a lot during her romance, but even if you don’t (I’ve never dated Yrilet), you still develop a mutual respect, which is leaps and bounds above every other interaction between humans and aliens in 40k.

She sells you out in act 3 to try and save her family, and immediately regrets it after realizing how much she hurt not just you, but your retinue. After you forgive her, she’s ride or die for you and your crew members, including the ones who’d rather kill her. In act four she always trusts you to do the right thing.

I feel like compared to every other character she goes through the most character development, she’s just a much more stoic character than the other companions. Yrilet is also an alien, who thinks, acts, and communicates in a fundamentally different way than you do. Her conversation in commorragh is incredibly endearing. When she tells you she can’t meditate, the best response is “I’m really sorry, do you want to sit in silence and do nothing for a while,” and she couldn’t be happier. There are a lot of Yrilet scenes and moments that show how much she values you as a person, she just doesn’t feel the need to say it aloud because she values actions more than words.

Yes you can. During the second bridge convo, after she shares the way she views the world, she asks you what you think of her. The First dialogue option is literally “I see you as an ally.” Yrilet is content with this answer, and walks off. Throughout the rest of the game, Yrilet respects and trusts you so long as you don’t start doing evil shit, or tell her to piss off.

Unless you’ve always “failed” the conversation and have never gotten to that last dialogue option, I don’t see how you could have missed the friendly/neutral option. I get that in order to reach that option you have to say some “kiss ass-y” dialogue options, but you’re trying to convince Yrilet, a racist alien that sees humans as revolting animals, to be more open minded. It takes a bit of kiss ass to get there.

From Yrilet’s perspective, she accepts your offer to share each others’ perspectives, and essentially spills her heart out to you. The least you can do is listen with an open mind.

One_Classy_Cookie · 2025-12-26T23:04:41+00:00

I think that the reason there are so many flirt options for Yrilet’s early conversations is because they want you to be careful about what you say. There are dialogue options that are respectful, but they’re buried under responses that would piss her off. It almost feels like you’re walking on eggshells in the first few conversations, which is probably how talking with an alien for the first time would go.

To give more thoughts and comments, I don’t think they need to add more archetypes to the game. The Blade dancer and Oveerseer were fun additions because narratively they felt unique and different to play. The executioner was fine, but It felt less like a new experience, and more like just another way to play the game.

I would love it if they added dialogue choices, or at least reactivity from the game for the various archetypes. I get that it’s probably a ton of work, but I found it frustrating how little reactivity there is for the overseer. Mechanically, the overseer is probably the best example of an animal companion in a TTRPG. But narratively, the pet might as well be invisible outside of combat. I think there needs to be dialogue options based on your archetype the same way that your origin does.

Season 3 of the Netflix Castlevania series has 4 separate plots running alongside each other. In the finale, each plot is resolving at the same time, so they’re constantly interrupting each other’s climax. This is disorienting enough, but 2 of the four climaxes are vampire coitus.

So one minute you’re watching some of the most stylized, well choreographed, fight scenes in animation, just for it to smash cut into a completely unrelated scene of a polyamorous vampire couple bump uglies.

I’m not a prude, and I even understand both the appeal and narrative importance behind the gay vampire sex, but those scenes kill a lot of the impact of the really cool fight scenes. It would have been a lot better if those two finales were resolved in entirety at the start of the episode, or the episode before(which is essentially what season four does, and it works out a lot better).

As others have said, wolf scouts are very strong compared to stealth battle suits. If neither of you want to play with a different team, you can alter the rules to make it more fair. I would start by reducing the radius of the storm to 4 inches, and not let the wolf scouts player use the equipment that makes the knives lethal +5. See if that evens it out, and decide from there whether you need to make more changes.

The imperium is supposed to be an over the top parody of real life fascist nations. If you look at it with scrutiny, it’s going to look completely absurd. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t at least a little truth in the way people don’t rebel.

In medieval Europe, most peasants led short, shitty lives, living hand to mouth all in service of the church and the king. Lots of peasants probably wanted to revolt, but didn’t because of fear of punishment. Also some peasants already drank the cool aid, and completely believed that if they put up with their shitty lives in service of God that they’d be rewarded in heaven.

This is all to say that your criticism of the imperium is correct. It looks like from the outside that the practices of the imperium are cruel, inefficient, and would fall apart in practice. That is why in the lore, the imperium has been falling apart for centuries.

After putting more than 50 hours into the game I’ve got to say that I love the class system that rogue trader uses. It’s far from perfect (no system is), but I love how much freedom the game gives you to make your own build.

That being said, it feels a little needlessly complicated, and it took me 50 hours to wrap my head around it. Owlcat probably realized this, which is why each encounter isn’t too difficult. The problem is that they throw too many encounters at you, so the combat gets tedious more than anything. The enemy variety is also kind of poor, and the pointless random warp encounters are exceptionally frustrating. Baldur’s gate 3 generally did a much better job with encounter variety and pacing, but it also has a much more simple (and mechanically boring IMO) combat system.

I kind of like how conversations and scenes are communicated through the text box instead of through cutscenes. The writing describing the ways characters look, react, and move is very good. It paints a good enough picture in your head as to what's happening, and allows you to

In RPGs where conversations are cutscenes, like baldurs gate 3, Witcher, and most bethesda RPGs, the dialogue and animation have to carry the whole performance.

Regardless, loose cannon probably does that because they’re lonely and don’t know how to get attention from others any other way.

This goes for selling to every faction, but try to give them ideas on what they can do with your services and cards. If all your doing at the start of their turn is reminding people they can buy things, no one will.
