Going to spilt the other half of new info to the relevant topic of Rogue Trader.

TLDR

  • Cameo appearance of a character from Rogue Trader.
  • Will have more verticality in the environments
  • May have a ork companion
  • There will be romances
  • Dispositions will be Radical or Puritan
  • Will build upon and refine Rogue Trader system
  • Many changes to how archetypes work
  • Removing momentum from RT but adding Morality system for each character in order to speed up combat
  • Since the game will be fully voiced acted Dark Heresy will be shorter than Rogue Trader

Excuse me what in the actual ****. :broken:

An inquisitor threading on the extremist side may be willing to tolerate the company of an elder or a kroot, but the idea of not only an inquisitor casually walking around and conversing with an ork, but an ork not wanting to immediately crush an inquisitor and his retinue on sight is just ******** if you ask me.

I guess this is yet another example of the leftards wanting to humanize the orks because of how similar they are to *******. :melt:

Apparently a ork companion has been highly requested by fans to Owlcat.

Oh boy, here we are at another Nok-Nok.

The only saving grace of Nok-Nok in Kingmaker was that you had the option of killing him when you met him, so hopefully this new game will give you the option to just kill the ork like any sane sapient being of the galaxy would do.

Forgot to mention that Dark Heresy will have a lot of focus in investigations ( akin to something similar in certain missions for Shadowrun: Hong Kong)

Let me guess, you will be able to be a telepath in the game but have ZERO use for telepathy out of combat? And in combat telepathy powers will work more like 4e than Dark Heresy tabletop?

Owlcat **** riders would clap with glee that the Dark Heresy is fully VA but having more portraits for important NPC’s is asking to much . They would even go as far to say you should do Owlcat work for them and make your portraits / download portraits from Nexus ( which look like **** half times)

This game is a wait and see from me. Having one xenos companion is not entirely uncommon, radicals typically have either an eldar in retinue for a variety of reasons or some xenos pet. I don't think there's ever once been an instance of an inquisitor having more than one xenos in retinue at any given time in 40k lore. Personally I would of liked to see more potential abhumans as retinue members. Those are typically more common, and there's a large roster to choose from that could lead to interesting gameplay that doesn't stretch the lore. The black women is cringe and romance for dark heresy is a bad idea. There's only 2 female companions we know of so far, and I doubt GW will let Owlcat allow you to kiss the Kroot lol.

Considering that it’s almost a certainty a season pass is coming for it ,I’m positive they’re going to have additional xenos companions.

The amount people asking for kroot romance makes me weep for humanity.

So, okay, let me get this straight.

OwlCat put a sororitas party member in their Rogue Trader game, and are now putting a Kroot party member in their Inquisition game.

Are they ********?

They COULD work. For eg, in Mount & Blade, marrying into nobility is a way to get "right to rule" but there is also her family to take into account and a lot of politics. If in RT, you deciding to romance the Eldar companion make so other nobles would try to exploit it for their benefit blackmailing you, the inquisition would try to revoke your RT and hunt you for Heresy and you needed a lot of lucky, and high stats investmnets to not be burned alive, that would be great.
