Pet peeves: The return (Part 9)

Set up Idira with a warp minds build where she just spams 1-cost psyker powers to debuff all enemies, only to watch her immediately kill herself turn 1 when her unsanctioned-ness goes “whoops lol now you’re dead”.

Entire party is fine, meanwhile she’s nursing a smashed skull, cracked rib, broken leg. I even gave her a backpack item that says “if you’d die, you don’t, once per combat” but of course that doesn’t work on warp anomalies…

Give me more companions and let me get a full party of em going.

Doing a cybersecurity course, get asked to write down types of cybercrime and effects on people

Make a bullet point list, get told ‘make it a poster, put some pictures in there’ so I just put a picture of Mr Robot as Hackerman in the top right corner and changed nothing else

Nailed it

Don’t forget to slap NORD VPN in the corner.
As every. single. thing seems to want to scream nowadays “NORD VPN is THE best way to…” etc.

Honestly all the promotions for it just make me think it’s probably actually pretty useless.

primary reason i really stop using her the moment I have more companions , getting perils’d in a big fight at low levels where she accidentally summons a screamer of tzeentch in a big fight just feels lame and like an instant restart of that fight

Now Kibellah, on the other hand, there’s a woman (good lord everything around her just dies immediately)

I didn’t think much of her initially but her heroic moment ability is kinda insane for burst damage. Still probably not using her quite right too.

Cassia’s still probably stronger (luv me fishwife) but Kibellah brings a welcome amount of pain, as is appropriate.

The next DLC is apparently just adding Judge Dredd to your party (Adeptus Arbites). I’m a little sad we’ve ended up with what’s probably going to be two Dogmatic DLC companions but not really surprised.

I love disenchanting a good burger.

How else are you supposed to check if they remembered your “no [something you don’t like]”?

I’ve heard you can get Kibellah to go full Khornate, but I’ve not much of an interest in a chaos run.

I’m quite interested in the quests that’ll come with the Arbitrator; I feel like a lot of the things you deal with throughout the game are things that overlap with their interest, and what they’ll do to make his stuff different. It’ll be great for the base game content, regardless, if he’s as integrated throughout as well as Kibellah is.

I think the more Dogmatic options are the most sensible to add to the roster as is; there’s already two aliens, and I feel any other additions would be relatively niche like Marazhai is, and there’s several Iconoclasts already of different flavours (Abelard and Jae). Cassia, Pasqal, and Ulfar are a little more difficult to fit in on the alignments presented. Argenta and Heinrix are the Dogmatic ones, obviously, but frankly I think both are kind of boring.

I really like the choice of Dogmatic DLC companions; like Abelard and Jae (woefully underdeveloped though imo) they’re vastly different characters in right about every way who fit on that particular slice of the alignment system, with the Arbitrator almost certainly being a by-the-book lawman vs. Kibellah being a deranged murderer-mystic.

I also realize I’m a little biased in that Kibellah’s probably the perfect companion for me; I love Death Cult Assassins and play one in a Dark Heresy game right now.

Also burger related.

get your data sold to an opaque alphabet agency or otherwise fed to advertising. In capitalist neoliberal hellworld, you too can be a commodity!

Impeccable taste.

Also fun.

is this rogue trader talk

I just want my orc freeboota or ogryn or kroot hunter or all of the above.

Also while I’m still in Act 1 of my DLC replay (having only just reached Footfall again) I hope that they have added more Act 3-5 introductions by Abelard. I was sorely frustrated how those disappeared as the game progressed.

Going deeper into Moria it never really occured to me before how much faith the returning Dwarves put into very old wood and rusted metal.

Like… it’s a lot of faith.

Updated phone
Now the lockscreen has the time and date aaaall the way up almost at the top of the screen. y u do dis?

I don’t think an Ogryn would be interesting as a companion at all tbh, unless it’s like the Super Special Ogryn That’s Super Different From All The Other Ogryns who actually has the ability to have a story arc

Every single one of my current companions has at least a modicum of intellect, which means if I want the token idiot it needs to be me. Ogryn (or ork) would let me foist the “lovable idiot” trope onto them instead. They’d be the Nenio of the-

You know what, nevermind, maybe we don’t need one after all.

Nenio is based though??

Also would Rogue Trader appeal to someone who doesn’t really get 40K?

I’m glad you see my point :wink:

It’s a solid RPG. It’s probably even better if you know 40k stuff, but it should be fine otherwise and be a pretty great introduction, too.

Enchanting glitterdust is really just wizard poop, isn’t it?

Only if the lad’s voiced by patrick zeits.
