The Kroot companion is female. Very good, all according to the plans. You know already what this means.

>You start as a Acolyte and become a Inquisitior
this is how you spot someone who doesn't get dark heresy
This is a very subtle clue compared to the massive neon sign that is eldar psyker and kroot companions.

Eh, not out of character for a Radical.

But if we're stuck with party size 6, and they've shown us 5 companions thus far, there needs to be more, since a Puritan wouldn't work with these except maybe under duress.

I am irrationally angry about party size 6. It's never been good, it makes it too easy to cover all bases, and it's way too large for DH.

I guess they will add creating your own Acolytes. I hope you can create a party of 5 ogryns + main PC.

It will have to have more, since a puritan player will also need a 6 member party without the two xenos. They will probably keep introducing new companions in groups, like they did for RT.

I am 100% sure game will have more than 5 companions.
That's my guess, but I am talking about making additional custom characters like in their previous games. I hope they add the option to make an Ogryn.

Not high priority, I can imagine, but I'd like that mechanical prosthetics are included as options in the character models both in Dark Heresy and in Rogue Trader through a patch. I'm talking mostly about limbs, since we already have jaws and head plates. Specially because some portraits feature characters with mechanical limbs but then the models themselves have organic limbs.

6th party characters makes combat either a breeze or a chore of trash fights. There is no realistic way to balance combat for 6th parties. Every ability and power and weapon is covered. Everything is available. It eliminates the need for strategic choice. Owlcat learns nothing from game after game. They keep repeating the shame shit over and over. I have yet to see a single improvement from one installment to the next.

Has anyone seen Owlcat improve on anything since Kingmaker? All their games are troubled with the same issues that existed 8 years ago. They are impervious to learning and improving design.

What are you talking about? They did learn, they knew people do not like to manage 6 guys vs trash fights so they released RT when one character could clear all enemies and others would just cheer.
And they could even tag team and change who that one is.

Owlcat_Eyler Will party creation be like Wasteland where you create a party of custom acolytes and then can add companions, or just main char + companions?
The second one, like in Rogue Trader.

And yes, there will be more companions.
Do you know if in DH heroic/desperate actions are going to also go away along with Momentum or if there is going to be something similar in power but just called differently?

There will be significant combat buffs and debuffs based on your party's current morale level. As for abilities, the abilities similar to heroic actions are planned as well, yes - broken and heroic.
