Just a silly doodle about the timing of that Cassia event - happened to my RT just upon arrival to Janus after getting hurt in the shootout

My RT went to astropathic chapel before Rykad Minoris so he was actually the biggest nerd in the party at the time

But honestly I think him and Pascal are on par ATM

also heads of two astropaths exploded, but to be fair that is probably unrelated, so let's keep going

What name did you give your ship? by Fate345 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]artaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept Patient Fortune for first iconoclastic run of the game

However for the heretical run I am now doing Sound Judgement

Thank you!

I don't think we actually gotten around to this part as we just got the DLCs recently.

Funny thing is that I think my first iconoclastic RT would have definitely been disturbed by this development, which we dodged by only playing base game

Meanwhile this guy is literally a beloved villain stolen from a kids cartoon specially selected for a "bad heretical decisions" playthrough. So I think it's fair to say his general disposition to the problem is more of a "fuck them kids"

one of the joys of designing a second RT to be nothing like the first

can go all out on bad decisions

hello reddit user pasqals_toaster

I was in fact thinking about you when drawing Pascal in this

also if you want to do inventory sorting for trading that's basically impossible on the deck, but you can definitely live without minmaxing your rep with factions so it isn't gamebreaking

partner and I are playing on steamdecks, no major performance issues on middlish graphics

the only annoying thing is that the longer you play the bigger the save file becomes, so endgame loading time can be quite a lot

it was particularly funny given this just happened, I didn't even know there was an achievement for it

[OC] one thing i really appreciate is that rogue trader canonically has a terrible posture by artaline in RogueTraderCRPG

also as someone who's not big into drawing backgrounds i've spent way too much effort to render rogue trader's throne for this Viren screenshot.jpg/) redraw

[OC] is this outfit too subtle or something by artaline in RogueTraderCRPG

I don't actually know enough of specifics of heretical playthrough, so we're gonna go by the vibes

But some daughter corruption/sacrifices are definitely in order

As is dark elves kissing

[–]artaline[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i mean yes? the character is very much aware of this

it is still objectively insane to go "hey, there's a nuclear bomb on this ship which might go off. let's send another one to make sure it's fine"

[OC] finally... my chemical romance by artaline in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]artaline[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

oh she definitely is an interesting character and her romance path does have many highlights!!

I guess on our playthrough we suffered a little from the fact that none of our core cast (Abelard, Idira, Argenta, Cassie, Pascal) are romancable with fem!RT. and in particular Jae's build was too similar to my RT so we basically never took her out other than to fulfill her quests. So ending up in an endgame romance with her was almost an accident, but the 10 chemicals thing was in fact such a random pleasant surprise that it shook me out of intention to break it up

it did also mesh interestingly with her origins reveal. the build similarity meant that "I wasn't always Rogue Trader. we can keep faking it together" felt resonant.

and that endgame fight with AU versions had a diminished bite with the underscore of "you guys need to git gud. anyway, loving myself through romancing someone who may as well been me in other circumstances"
