>>1396373 Owlcat don't pussy out and let this be a true Dark Hersey CRPG and not RT with Inquisitor paint.
>>1412929 We know you start as an acolyte but will become an inquisitor later. Owlcat does power fantasies in their stories every time so, it's likely going to let you get big and important just like RT.
>>1412929 >>1412953 As long as they give the core DH experience of investigation, integration, and the game just being balls hard. Then we have the DH we crave.
>>1412929 What exactly is Dark Heresy? What defines it?
>>1413019 40k game where you play as an inquisitorial investigation team, basically expendable special agents.
>>1413019 You start out as a near-nobody picked up by the big =][= because you've seen too much. You get sent on near-suicidal investigation missions rooting out chaos cults and alien conspiracies. You'll most likely die horribly from getting rushed down by genestealers, turned into swiss cheese from a hive ganger ambush, or existing within a half-mile of a traitor marine Owlkek being Owlkek the lethality and hopelessness of it will likely be toned down significantly since having a potential TPK lurking around every corner isn't conducive towards sales among normalfags.
>>1413124 >among normalfags Among most players period. Most people don't enjoy that sort of difficulty in video games, and it's not as if the consequence (a TPK) is actually a "well, shit's over, reroll character" situation. It's just a chore that makes you fight the encounter again for repetitions sake.
>>1413124 All that needs to be done is to have drop-in/replaceable characters to continue the story when one character or the entire party wipes. Tabletop gamers have been doing this for decades to continue the plot when characters die or parties wipe. The imperium has countless billions of humans. You could even have recurring characters as perpetuals and when they "die" they get teleported across the galaxy/immaterium and have to "make their way back" somehow. Make the penalty correspond to the lore. You can have story driven gameplay AND permadeath so easily, it should be trivial for a dev to implement in this day and age.

Bought RT and met the female Eldar but my question is she worth bringing along? Or will I find better snipers in my travels?
>>1417995 Are you playing a sniper yourself? If not no, Yrliet is absolutely busted good. Build her as an operative/assassin, focus on her agility (for a second stat you can tale ballistic skill, perception or intelligence all work) and then just take everything assassin that lets you do more damage for more lethally. Also keep boosting her dodge in any way you can. Dodge = more lethality = more damage and more good shit from her assassin perks. It gets fucking nutty.
>>1417995 Keep her as She's one of the if not the best sharpshooters in the game.
>>1417995 Yes, the only other character that makes a good sniper is the battle sister, but she's better building towards a "spray and pray" build with a bolter.
>>1420314 Bolters or other heavy firearms are her bread and butter.
Owlcat released some art
>>1425473 Is the assumption that this is who we will have as playable characters? Two eldar choices, one human, one kroot, one spess mehrine, and one ogryn?

>>1427739 How the fuck did he fathered a child with an Eldar?
>>1427739 You can't impregnate the eldar. We aren't living in 1st edition times anymore.
>>1427739 Because despite it being pretty rare Humans and Eldar, who work together in RT or Inquisitor retinues can develop heretical feelings. The shit we saw in RT and probably will see in DH, are those exceptionally rare cases. >>1431728 >You can't impregnate the eldar Don't let dreams be dreams.
>>1432527 Go ahead, try. Nothing short of an emperor ordained miracle is going to turn that Eldar into human breeding stock. Shouldn't even try honestly, Go breed that cute PDF girl instead.
Can someone explain why GW is so hostile against fanmade content?
>>1455510 Jewish lawyers
>>1455510 Fan animations compete with the animations on warhammer+. That is the best explanation I can think of anyway.
>>1455510 This >>1456650 Plus a bad experience with a company called Chapterhouse Studios that specialized in making models for units GW put in codices but did not actually make bespoke models for (mostly relying on kitbashing and the like). So in suing them the judge actually ruled in favor of chapterhouse, citing the fact that since GW did not give enough effort to protect their copyright (by not making models) technically it was void. So the lesson GW learned from this was 1. No model = no rule, hence why all the Dark Eldar special characters like Vect, Lady Malys, and Duke Scliscus got removed in one fell swoop 2. Copyright everything, right after the Chapterhouse debacle (or maybe before) GW tried to say they had trademark over the word "Space marine", ignoring pulp stories like "Captain Brink of the Space Marines" from 1932, or more famously a book called "Spots the Space Marine" (Which GW tried to have taken off Amazon unsuccessfully, which caused the courts to rule "Space Marine" was too generic a term to trademark) So came a series of trademark friendly faction renames. Most infamously the Imperial Guard being renamed to the Astra Militarum, and then in Age of Sigmar the language mangling of classic fantasy races like Aelf, Duardin (dwarf) Orruk, and Ogor. 3. like the other anon said, GW was tired of being shown up by fanmade content like Astartes or Helsreach, so the made Warhammer Plus, pulled a Nintendo style copyright bomb, and then engaged mafia tactics on fan animators, making them an offer they couldn't refuse (i.e. come work for us or we'll C&D you into the ground)
>>1431728 I'm sure some clever Heamonculus could figure out some way to make it work. This of course is the worst of all possible outcomes. >>1432614 Modern depictions of eldar are so inhuman I'd surprised if their cunts are even shaped like a human's.

New Dark Heresy stuff.
>>1680663 Oh, so it is just a reskin of Rogue Trader after all. Just finished my first full run through of that (despite it still being unfinished... end of next year for the remaining DLC, really!?). 150 hours! Despite a great story I have to say it was an unbelievable slog which I hope will be my last Owlcat experience. And absolute trash tier combat system - impossible to track which skill impacts what, and what possessed them to make every other skill stack its own ineffectual counters so that late game we are stuck trying to memorise several dozen debuff stacks??? I just created a firing line and ignored 90% of the skills, reloaded perhaps 2-3 times in the entire game on the second hardest difficulty. Not even challenging! A middling CRPG but an absolutely terrible TRPG.
>>1680271 They have too many IG models made for it not to be an expansion/DLC sometime in the future. Also expect Chaos to show up sometime in the future, probably Eliphas again.
>>1680663 Didn't know they were making another CRPG, neat
>>1688171 It's looking great and it seems to play differently then RT.
>>1688247 Speaking of RT I've been meaning to play that but I'm waiting for Owlcat to end its development cycle With the DH one out surely that means that they will focus on that one instead

>>1689598 Looks like it'll be on my backlog for a little longer Are the DLCs already out any good? I remember the ones for Pathfinder Kingmaker were mediocre while WoTR had one or two good ones, I wonder if RT continues the upward trend
