So I guess Rogue Trader is out? Arch was streaming it and it apparently isn't shit.

The tourists are mad that it's complex, and the reviews have been in the 50-75% range citing slow, methodical, turn based combat.

... You know, like some kind of RPG?
It's kind of by-the-book, from what I've seen. But if the journals are getting filtered by the gameplay, that's essentially an plus.

PC Gamer, the site that gave Gollum 64, gave it 59 because "I wanted Mass Effect and it is not like Mass Effect and there are numbers in it". I guess Gollum is more like Mass Effect because it's third person or something. The normies are mad because it's not fully voiced and it doesn't have bear-fucking slut vampires like in muh Baldur's Gate and the nerds are mad because they can't bang the Sister of Battle.

Dunno why bang a sister of battle, when you have a perfectly fine ass Eldar or Tech Priestess.

Tech Priestesses do not exist. Also, Eldar are icky and their constant lust is what gave birth to Slaneesh in the first place.
 
Doesn't matter if it's good or not, I'm not buying anything with a season pass till the whole thing's actually fucking finished.
I pirated it and am playing since 2AM. It's pretty fucking good so far, best CRPG i played since God knows when. Mechanics are crunchy, combat is fun, story is alright so far. Said it in the video game chat thread already but i'm positivly surprised how lore conform everything is and how much attention to detail Owlcat is paying to things, everything looks really fucking neat, tons of background details, the character models are extremly well-made, too. After being priced out of the hobby i am finally having fun with a 40k product again. The voice acting is a bit lacklustre but the game isn't fully voiced anyways. Haven't tried the spaceship combat yet, maybe that and or/the whole mercantile aspect will be shit but so far it's real fucking fun. It's seldom that i play vidya and find nothing to bitch about.

Edit: Shadowrun Hong Kong was the last time i really enjoyed a turn-based combat CRPG based on pre-existing lore, the writing in that game was fucking stellar.
 
Techpriestesses are like techpriests.

You can not pork that which has no toaster socket.

Well you could try to hump one but I imagine that is just a fast route to servitor-dom.

Them and the Marines are the closest we get to actually scientific asexual life forms alongside orks and nids.

Tl,dr you can't hump the emotionless cyborg that may have been a lady 30 years and 10 implanted welders before.

Tech Priestesses do exist, and canonically Ciaphas Cain somehow found the time to bed one while fleeing from a horde of Orks after a crash landing. She even had a mechadendrite installed at the base of her spine like a cat's tail.
 
Doesn't Priests of Mars have a canonical Techpriest / Techpriestess marriage... with a kid? I remember seeing that on the AdMech page on 1d4chan?
 
I think that was a techpriest making a female clone of himself as a child/apprentice/study partner.

Who later tells the Rogue Trader that she is flattered by his adoration but human relationships don't work for Admech. And than she dies, of course.
 
Not being able to be a Techpriest/Techpriestess when you can select a Forge World as your world of origin is a baffling design choice. I just want to turn all the followers you get into servitors and venerate a microwave.

The more a tech priest goes up the ranks, the more you can expect him to replace parts of his body. So an initiate tech priestess is 100% fuckable. Afterwards it's a question how much the priestess is enamored with the idea of reproduction until she just transplants her ovaries into a servitor.

Well depending on how the initiation is handled. The blondie Cain liked seemed rather rural, while Cawl seemed to have been genetically engineered and purposefully selected.

So it maybe likely that an above average candidate gets cybernetised early on. As for later, most Techpriests don't like to bother with food and drinks, and legs are usually enchanced or removed. This is likely due to the fact that the legs and spine need to carry the weight, and the human hands are okey all purpose manipulators. Indeed the hands seem to "stay" for quite long, instead of being replaced they usually get additional arms.

This may just be a design choice by GW to add more human element to the AM hero units, but usually they got one human hand showing, and usually some parts of the face. Though in the books many appear completely mechanical, with the meaty parts hidden deep under metal.

So it is bad news for Coom God followers, most of the Machine cultists wouldn't be in lingeries outside of ... how do I put it, fan art of questinable canonicity.
Of course, the newly introduced Electropriests differ from this. They seem to be all buff and ripped. So at least you get half naked Electric Men.

Even the girl from the shitty ass mobile game got her tits nerfed apparently. Or maybe the first is fan art? I'm not sure.

Think it might have something to do with age, rejuvenat treatment can only go so far even in 40k when you get into your third or forth century (that tech priest Cain banged was mostly machine 80 years after the fact with her few remaining fleshy bits being extremely aged). Aside from that the only high ranking AdMechs that try to look human I can think of is the one chick from the mechanicum novel that made herself look like a 8 foot tall female robot and maybe a few ambassadors/envoys that try and make their augmetics more subdued to not make the fleshbags too uneasy
 
I think there are special ambassadors that look more human. But generally the cogboys seem to enjoy frealing out the normies by being as toaster as they can be.
 
I'm watching an Arch Fantasy lore video and I think I feel like the biggest issue in the setting is how it tries to play it both ways. Like it has fantastic creatures around, but humans are in a ridiculous dung age that doesn't make sense. An example is a Gotrek novel where the duo prepare a keep from a zombie invasion and the keep as no defences against literally centuries old tactics despite humanity going against the undead for a better part of a millenium.

The admech itself is pretty large, shit like the biologis probably won't use straight up mechanical replacements, and the good replacements are expensive so it's probably rare for the poorer followers to replace things until they can afford a better replacement than the original.

I think there are special ambassadors that look more human.
This is covered in the Emperor's Gift:
In their dealing with the wider Imperium, the Adeptus Mechanicus occasionally mandated the modification and use of specialist ambassadors for the comfort and ease of unmodified humans. These executors and famuli were often reshaped with the human norm in mind, their augmetics kept entirely internal or externally subtle, and communicated via traditional speech rather than the emission of binary cant screeds.
Then there's a short description of one of them and the sort of mods they use:
When standing before him, it took a long time to drink in every detail of his construction. His face was far from smooth – to mimic the nuances of human expression, even his silver lips and eye sockets were formed from hundreds of minute servos – but his body’s musculature was shaped from interlocking plates of burnished silver, concealing much of the metalworking and circuitry beneath.
Sophisticated sound suppressors the size of common tin coins were fused to his joints, muting his movements. Instead of the gentle purr of servos and the heavy tread of silver feet, Axium sounded perfectly human: his heartbeat was the natural rhythm of the human organ within his chest, and his breath came from biological lungs. His voice was so perfectly coded to match human frequencies that it sounded more natural than any of my brothers’, with their gene-modified biology
 
My friend wants out of Kingdom Death and has pretty much everything except the gambler shit.

500 bucks. Yes or no? I don't need it, but I want it and that price... I can come up with 500 bucks. But convince me anyway. Or dissuade me.

searching "kingdom death" landed me here
If you can get everything for kingdom death for $500 go for it. You’ll never get an authentic copy for that price ever again my guy.
