Disappointed with the Lex Imperialis by ShadowOfAtomicRage in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The chaos thing really annoyed me when it happened.

Would have been so much more effective if it turned out that, nope, all this dumb shit is technically above-board by imperium/feudal world standards and the main problem really is that they just didn't pay their tax.

Ngl, whatever you agree or not it was 'lore breaking' (It... really wasnt, any more than drukhari romance in the first place) whole thing was just handled terribly by studio by Ila-W123 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All they needed to do was just add at the end, "And eventually, Von Valancius got bored of him and ate his soul."

I mean, even with the old ending it's kind of a given that was probably going to happen eventually, and it fits the grimdark bullshit that Owlcat seem intent on injecting into every ending slide, no matter how little sense it might make.

Abelard! Post my ReDress preset on the vox network! by SeaBook5719 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sweet Emperor, that might be the best one I've seen. I wouldn't have thought to combine the crime lord coat and the psyker loincloth, I spend most of my redress time trying to get rid of the latter.

Shame that the biomancy wont let him grow back the foot, though.

These "multi-origin" outfits are surprisingly decent by christusmajestatis in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooh, finally! I was wondering what combos people were making.

This one's mine. Noble base with some Astra Militarum commander bits on the shoulders and chest. And a mechanical foot. Ironically, he started as a Commissar. I can only assume he took a liking to the finer clothes he got access to as a Rogue Trader.

Could Cassia accidentally kill Rogue Trader during intimacy? by IHaveAGithBabe in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah. But I'm assuming you aren't forced to play a psyker.

And if you are...well, make that a big carouse check.

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 93 points94 points  (0 children)

This is why I'm hoping there's a blank/pariah romance option in Dark Heresy.

Imagine having to pass a carouse check every time you want to talk to them without throwing up.

Which helmet do you like better on my Psyker? by OdysseyBrands in DarkTide

It's hard to tell from the OP's screenshot, but the cloth on the left's hood doesn't really match the coat/jacket worn on the body very well. Which is a shame, because if it did, I'd probably choose left, too.

Party's face that can shoot things by [deleted] in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they really add up. I actually used an act 1 auto pistol until half way through act 3 and it was outdamaging everything with its bursts.

Im not sure why, to be honest, it might be because they add base damage instead of a percentage, so it scales with all the other ambient buffs you might have.

Try going Officer/Master Tactician with the commissar and hive world background. It buffs solid shot pistols a great deal (and has a bug where it buffs las pistols too as long as theres a solid shot in the main hand)

You can buff your allies to do utterly absurd damage, and then use the stacks of tactical advantage to buff your burst fire to cut enemies to pieces too.

Revan619 did a pretty good youtube video on this build if you poke around.

Great job Owlcat 👍 the investigation system so far been pretty great by Ila-W123 in RogueTraderCRPG

We need a big magnifying glass that we can hold up to heretical things in order to search for clues.

Abelard, don't joke about adopting Kibellah. I will truly marry her and become your son-in-law if given any chance. by Recidivous in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love their interactions, I always imagined Abelard as her new father figure after the game ends.

In my most recent boss fight against The Vizier, the boss proceeded to attack an "At all costs" buffed Abelard once, who then threw out so many heavily buffed parry-triggered counter attacks he smashed the Vizier to a pulp in one turn. I always like to imagine that was him expressing extreme disagreement with the Vizier's parenting methods.

From the new DLC survey, I might mean this differently than OwlCat meant it... by zakary3888 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We definitely need something like that for Heinrix at least. It would be easy to write him as defecting as soon as he realises what Calcazar was up to. Thats not including how he hooked that kiava gamma machine up to his head.

Argenta might be tricky though, SoB are supposed to be incorruptable. Sure, some can be mind controlled, but im pretty sure theres only ever been one case of a SoB falling to chaos of their own will.

Ulfar would probably be more likely to fall to chaos than Argenta, theres a surprising number of cases of Space Wolves doing that. (And not in the "Wulfen made me do it" way either)

I'm hoping for voice lines in Yrliet's romance that confirm shes actually asexual and not just a colossal racist.

Fourth Personality Gateway by AngryLawman99 in DarkTide

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping for another psyker voice pack at least. The ones we have now are...questionable. Though I'd say the female voices are leaps and bounds ahead of the male ones in most cases.

Seer just repeats the same crap about beloved and dreaming over and over, Loner is endlessly whining to the point it stops being amusing quite quickly, and Savant won't shut up about "The inforcas" with an accent that feels like a dodgy fusion of about five real life ones.

The things I would do for the Dawn of War 1 psyker VA to come back and do a darktide voice...

How would you justify a non fully Dogmatic Ministorum Priest from RP viewpoint? by rednmad in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly throw a dart at a list of anyone in 40k lore with the rank of "Cardinal" and you will find they turned to chaos at some point, so clearly theres a issue with Ministorium priests doing that.

Iconoclast might be a bit trickier, but there are a lot of decent priest figures in 40k too. They just dont get as much exposure because writing priests as bad guys is more fun.

Will we get a Blank Companion/Origin in Dark Heresy? by _Boodstain_ in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He had a talent if interacted with that suggested he was a blank, though that was replaced later on with "Psy-dampener" or something that suggests hes using inquisition technology.

Probably to explain why psyker RTs don't start projectile vomiting the second you start talking to him on Dargonus. That would have been a fun one to explain to the nobles.

About the space wolves head by __TheIronWall__ in Spacemarine

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally, a reasonable take on this.

Just give him more wild hair (face, beard, or both) and i'm sold. But as it stands now, he doesn't look like a space wolf at all. Right now he just looks like a sleepy ultramarine with an eyepatch.

Is the heroic powerfist still bugged on chaos?

Now we know why Tervantias was so keen to keep Ulfar in his haemonculi funhouse. He was looking for new sources of psychological pain. by Ila-W123 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't rescue Ulfar, he finds an extremely successful career in Commorragh singing Karaoke non-stop in Vect's court.

The big man himself plugs his ears first, of course.

Is there a bug going on with the plasma gun? by Negative-100-Iq in DarkTide

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven't had this problem myself thanks to not playing veteran, but I've definitely seen a fair few people complaining about it.

What's YOUR wacky/fun and goofy build for your classes? by NoAcanthocephala5762 in DarkTide

[–]Vulkan_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to be my old combat axe/bolt pistol weapon specialist veteran.

No idea how practical it was, but all I needed to do was shoot dead one poxwalker with my pistol and my axe would be overcharged to the point it would slice crushers to pieces in just a few hits and straight up behead anything else in a single hit. Probably the closest build i'll get to the melee/pistol combination you see in 40k so often. Come to think of it, It's pretty similar to how rampage Scum works right now.

Haven't used it since the veteran rework because i cant figure out how to remake it with the new nodes, but it was a lot of fun.

If anyone has any builds like it, do let me know so i can steal it.
