That's also an option and can end up as its own ending.

High Iconoclast is about using empathy to figure people out and influence them.

Calligos has a bunch of checks to realize that he's getting corrupted and that it's whatshisname's influence and you already know Calligos normally cares about his people so it's only locked behind normal Iconoclast.

That really should have been an option. Though I can buy that other characters would try to point it out and talk him out of it, it would be less that you're taking a risk to redeem him and more that Chaos = bad so you'd try to get him to turn on the actual Chaos agent and if it doesn't work you'd fight him because, well, Chaos = bad and you're a badass RT fighting Chaos or something.

The real op-ness comes from giving her a heavy bolter, stubber, or other high rate of fire weapon, getting the heavy weapon and versitility perks, plus rapid fire and confident approach abilities. On her first turn I can get her to >4x versatility with always prepared + reckless rush so she can fire 16 heavy bolter shots that will always crit. Recoil gloves and/or Pasqual's blessing to halve recoil, and she can pour on the damage to multiple targets. In some fights this is enough to trigger her ultimate, but if not she can use Furious Recital to gain enough momentum, then take 8 more auto-crit single shots (that will never miss).

While I find it kekworthy, I also think it's a realistic blind spot. He can apply this harsh logic to people he's never met (and xenos), but he gives the benefit of the doubt to people he considers his own.';

'>>475080513
he wasn't even his own. He was emelina's agent. And nothing implies that he considers him a friend. I think it could have been better written. You want jimmy to fuck up because he has a blind spot for schalander? that's fine, a good character moment actually, but at least give us a reason to believe that he would act this way';

'>>475081636
>He was emelina's agent
That's what they say, but Heinrix also acts like a handler to him. Like this:
>"I disbanded his network of spies and sent Achilleas himself off to track down an easier target. I imagine he has buried himself in his task, trying to make amends."
So I think the hierarchy is more messy than that. Heinrix does seem to feel responsible for him in some way.

>at least give us a reason to believe that
It was enough for me to buy it, but it could have been set up more I guess.';

'>>475079605
This is extremely consistent for Heinrix. He fails to react to or put together any of the following:
>Achilleas somehow keeps getting information that accurately predicts where deldar will strike
>a fucking deldar tells you straight up that this is impossible without another deldar being the source of the info
>said deldar asks you to meet him and settle everything through a duel in the middle of nowhere (reminder Heinrix is a fucking Ordo Xenos guy)
>said deldar has agents on your ship and can turn anyone with torture and weird deldar bullshit
>when you're attack you get more hints that deldar are scheming against each other and using you to do it
>Clementia explains to you that the attack on the palace is deliberate and they must be looking for something there
>Clementia tells you that Achilleas was at the palace and is stuck there but Achilleas claims he only went there from the Administratum after the attack started
>Achilleas' wounds are many but all non-lethal
>Achilleas claims the deldar weren't looking for anything and just messing with him
>Marazhai was just chilling on the throne and he and most of his troops leave the moment you show up meaning that they got whatever they came for
Heinrix has all this info and concludes that Achilleas is just a smart guy who knows his stuff, that the deldar had no idea that Achilleas was Inquisition and never bothers to think about what the deldar were doing or check up on Achilleas (meanwhile Yrliet realizes he's suspicious, follows him and finds him talking to Marazhai). He then insists that Achilleas couldn't possibly be the traitor up until Marazhai spells it out for him with proof. Basically Heinrix is biased, extremely emotional and terrible at his job.';

'>>475082443
yeah, and all fo this is extremely dumb and badly written. a guy who's an emotional mess made it to an interrogator, so we're to believe he has never messed up before? get the fuck out of here. it's incerdibly inconsistent with what they've set up for him';

'>>475083250

>>475219515
I agree having to set up the zones every combat and then keep moving them as needed is tedious (among other things, like buffing) but I do like that it adds more spatial consideration to combat and can has the potential to encourage different approaches with positioning your party or targeting enemies. I wish rotation of zones was manual though, since it makes it really annoying to get them where you want with it based off of the GS' relative position. If the combat was harder, or if there were more units to buff than was feasible to do through regular means, then I think the extra time spent with zoning would feel more worthwhile.';

Yeah I play that exact combo and it's fine and very useful but not that exciting. Well the problem is no matter what you pick companions will probably be better at it. I tried one run with a psyker and while not that powerful it was more fun and you can buff people and contribute in more ways.';

'>>475299351
I think most psyker powers are kind of useless (but I play on unfair so eh maybe thats why) and the more effective stuff just makes me go.. ehh
Like I love sensory whatever that gives people a fat -65 to weapon skill and ballistic skill so they miss a lot, but then the literal same psychic school has a huge range AoE stun that does fat damage so I'm like.. hmmmm
My original idea was to make a biomancer healer with some divination buffs but the divination buffs are ass and on unfair you don't often get a chance to heal people (sanctic also heals much better) so I got a little demotivated and just started considering master tactician instead
Dunno';

'>>475298438
Soldier Tac is just for AOE builds so you can one shot everything with your flamer/melta.';

'>>475299839
>but I play on unfair so eh maybe thats why)
Yeah I imagine suboptimal builds like that don't do well on unfair, at least officer/tactician seems OP enough it should work great on that. One fun thing is that one cloak that adds dodge for powers used on the character can make someone unkillable if you throw buffs on them but other than that idk how everything scales on unfair.';

'>>475300302
The only thing you really have to worry about on unfair is surviving since enemies do dumb damage, it's really not very different from easier difficulties
You end up needing a lot of armor on your armor characters and a stupidly high amount of dodge (so high that it's IMO not worth it most of the time) on your dodge characters
Unless a character is gonna be walking around in heavy armor I try and give them a power to survive (like the assassin skill that makes enemies ignore you) or just position them better, but I have to accept Yrliet and Cassia getting oneshot by a stray melee enemy sometimes
But well... yeah the survivability thing kinda makes my idea of playing a biomancy healer... yeah
The reason I mentioned sanctic is because you heal everyone at the same time by a really large amount (which you can turn into a shield with a talent) while bio is more of sustained or spot healing
Honestly I'm starting to think I might try a biomancer anyway, biomancer staff does alright damage, enfeeble makes enemies get hit harder, Iunno maybe it'll be fun';

'>>475300302
>>475300845
Oh yeah and also having a good amount of perception/weaponskill to counter high dodge/parry, but you do that in the base game anyway
You really notice how shit marazhai is at hitting enemies in melee on unfair though
My argenta often invests into strength and walks around in heavy armor too also I forgot to say!
It works since powerarmor later and all';

'>>475301002
>You really notice how shit marazhai is at hitting enemies in melee on unfair
Yeah, Archmilitant pulls even further ahead here, since infinitely stacking Versatility lets you hit anything eventually';

'>>475301315
I've found that assassins can do a fuckton of damage and have a capped hit chance (it's actually really really cool what assassin enables).... but that's by being an operative, where you lower dodge/parry chance to 0 with expose weakness then just murder shit with your assassiness
Too bad he's a warrior';

'>>475301002
Never tried unfair but I wonder how Marazhai's Yremeryss djinn blade scales, that thing gets his WS into the hundreds while stealing it from enemies which works well on bosses at least lower than unfair diffs. His perception needs more points into it though.';

'>>475301648
The bigger problem is that he gets parried a lot (65 weapon skill isn't enough, and the second attack from dual wielding gets a -20)';

'>>475301726
Yeah that's why it helps to build up his WS with the WS stealing sword if there are enemies he can hit from the start. Then once it gets to 200+ with similar levels of STR and TGH he can kill most anything.';

'>>475303605
>>475303981 but yellow routes also give them and have lower chance of forcing you into annoying combat encounters, the events are the warp reef one (choose go close to the reef) and warp creature closing in on the ship (choose trust in the navigator)
Also do the Emporium project in Dargonus, it lowers the number needed for new routes (used to be bugged so that it gave you a point instead but Owlcat fixed it, RIP wonderful Emporium bug, patch 1.1.28 never forget)';

Probably like every operative into assassin psyker goes, you kill things with your preferred psyker power (in this case the blood staff attack)
Giving people extra turns is strong but I just feel like an officer when I do that (not a good feeling), enfeeble is barely noticeable among the sea of damage bonuses and regen sucks ass (invigotare is better)
It's okay but not the feeling I was looking for
>>475317680
She does fine damage (not good, not even close to good, barely reaches fine) but is there mostly for armor shred and laying down traps so that people can't walk up to her and cassia and oneshot them (works sometimes)

'>>475318371
operative imo is the best archetype in the game
it's just so stupidly versatile and the weakpoint system ensures you always do damage no matter what, along with expose weakness nullifying armor and dodge
it's just so good';

>and the weakpoint system

'>>475319121
it's like i get that logically but managing exploits is a pain so i only do the most obvious common sense things so i play operatives suboptimally';

'>>475319557
It's actually pretty simple, you use expose weakness on whatever you're trying to kill, the little "give exploits" ability before that if you really need to knock it's armor dodge and parry down, or after the expose so you can have some exploits to boost your damage, then you hit it
Grab the tactical whatever skill too for fat stacks of extra damage by consuming exploits in an AoE (you can make it hit 1 guy it'll suck up all their exploits fora hefty damage boost)
I like it a lot, it also doubles on helping people survive unfair by giving the whole party armor';

'>>475319948
i try to use those because those are fairly straightforward but it feels like there's more to it
are there any other operative talents that i should be picking? i end up ignoring them and just using the basic stuff';

'>>475320145
I almost always get the same ones, uncanny sight, instant exposure, improved tactics, if I'm playing something melee or that wants to be close to enemies then passive learning too
If I have space then comprehensive analysis and continuous analysis
On my meme build using lightning as my main attack I took tide of excellence since I was always hitting in an AoE and lightning is affected by armor for some silly reason so I could use the damage reduction
I often go assassin with operative and use elusive shadow to ignore any defensive aspects completely, since enemies won't target me, otherwise I would just invest into wearing heavy armor and use tactical knowledge to buff it (I do this on pasqal since I like him being melee, grab offensive pattern recognition too)
On skills I only ever pick tactical knowledge and perfect spot, the precise strike or whatever is kind of a meme (well it helps you crit but... 1 ap cost ehh) and intimidation is... fine';

'>>475321286
>the damage reduction
the armor pen*';

'>>475320145
oh yeah right, if you reduce armor to 0 you only consume half the exploits with expose weakness btw
having multiple operatives (just 2 makes it nuts really) with uncanny sight makes it so by the time you kill 1-2 guys the rest have 20+ exploits each';

'>>475320145
and also, exploits give you a flat out 5x perception bonus extra damage with an extra 10% for every exploit the target has
so even just 1 exploit is 5x perception bonus + 10% while 10 exploits is 5x PER +100%, pretty nuts';

The ending where she goes on a trip with Jae, which you get if you were nice to her and she didn't use the device, is also a fairly good one but she definitely dies soon in that. You also get a variation if you had her reconnect with Vigdis or Vigdis and Argenta both.';

>would being male have changed any of that?
Yes. They are not insane enough to write another male murderhobo companion like Marazhai. If the assassin were male, he would've been on the chiller yet still cool side by virtue of Owlkek not copy pasting the exact same companion twice in a row.';

'>why are we assuming she has to be dogmatic
Because they are extremists by definition. Every degenerate thing they do is in the Emperor's name. Which is why they are easily corruptible by chaos.
Besides, everyone and their mothers complained about there not being a "proper" dogmatic or heretical romance for male Rogue Traders. We already have 3 kind and nice female companions all suitable for Iconoclastic runs. The crazy one is missing from the picture.';

Yes, Anon. The ship dlc with the assassin companion introduces important ship npcs that should've been in the base game. Like the surgeon (ship medic), astropath ( message sending) and so on.';

But where they characters back in the beta or not? If not, then I don't see how this is cut and relocated content rather than just standard DLC content.';

'>>475380721
They had lines coded into the game's files. The Astrophat interacted with Calligos and Chorda. You cannot tell me there isn't a noticeable lack of interactions between you and the other RTs, because all of that got cut and later repurposed for dlc.';

'>>475384735
yeah, they never got to finish it. At least they had the decency to cut it out entirely. We should be grateful they repurposed it for a paid dlc. Unlike the already unfinished content they still have almost all coded in the game but refuse to finish it like Santiel's Pride, Nocturne and the Daemonette companions and so on.';

the only mechanical difference between sanctioned and unsanctioned psykers is that sanctioned psykers can fudge their casting rolls a bit to try to dodge phenomena/perils and unsanctioned psykers get hit with corruption on character creation (a stat that didn't make it to the video game; corruption measures the effect of warp exposure on your body and soul, while insanity measured, well, your insanity. it was hard to get rid of, near unavoidable depending on which system you were running, and if it got too high you got shot)
also sanctioned psykers got a fun table to see what things happened to them during the sanctioning';

'>>475413230
>>475409825
this is the sanctioning table
while some effects are obviously very hard to translate to a video game and don't mesh well with the you-only-have-one-main-character-and-companions-are-unique approach that CRPGs take, i'm still disappointed they deviated so much from this. it really conveyed the idea that being a psyker is FAR more of a curse than a blessing, and every single psyker was a ticking time bomb - it wasn't a question of IF they would lose control and take everyone down with them, but WHEN, y'know?';

'>>475413230
>>475413707
this is pretty cool (and scary).
they coulda implemented a few of these sanctioning effects as choices instead of like triumph and darkest hour for psykers or smth kinda like how you have different forge world options that would have been neat';

Sure, why not? Recruit people based on whether you like them, then leave them on them on the ship if they're not useful in combat.

Nothing. Or a few dogma points or something but you can even get those while keeping the Eldar around so it doesn't really matter. Roleplaying if your character would do that.';
