Google "war within the webway".All that is done or gone, Horus is on the rampage and what the emperor does? Looks like nothing, certainly nothing sensible.
Pasqal's bro was the toughest fight on Kiava for me.Alright niggaz, I finaly finished the Kiava Gamma plotline.
Just before I set off, I was informed by a random Dark Eldar dude that a Succubus wants to take me over to her place and have rough sex with me.

Spirits were high as I exited the warp, obviously. I went to Kiava last of the three main planets of your empire, when I showed up I was welcome with a cool CYOA event of chaos tech-priests launching cybernetic attack at my ship - it turned out that the planet was already under chaos control. I wonder if you can get different beggining if you go there sooner (did someone try that?).
Anyway, unlike Janus (which had some social/investigative parts), Kiava turned out to be a large multilevel dungeon - the big boss welcomed me right at the start.

After exchanging some harsh language I proceeded to crawl through the industrial landscape, meeting and killing all kinds of interesting people and other forms of life.
For example there were Ruststalkers (known for example from Adeptus Mechanicus game) - fairly dangerous enemies, though I find the combat servitors to be somewhat more anoying with their AoE attacks.

There was also a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers - turns out that he is the one who turned the planet to Chaos worship in the first place - he wasnt all that tough though, despite his heavy bolter. Pasqal smacked his shit up pretty hard once he closed in.

Speaking of Pasqal, you may recall an earlier post in which I uncovered his sexual harassment of another techpriest. You will surely understand that in light of that previous experience, I was a bit anxious when my party came over a mostly naked techpriest.
This time Pasqal kept his mechanendrites to himself though, and simply took his head to be turned into servo skull. Good boy.

Turns out Pasqal is indeed a highly problematic dude though - there was a chaos worshipping techpriest who claimed to be his relative... wtf man?

The aleged brother or w/e took a melta blast to the face - Pasqal still insisted on taking his cyber brain for "further study" - the whole thing is sus AF tbh fam.
The boss fight seemed tough as fuck on turn 1. I talked some mad shit to the big boss, who responded by calling in a demon engine, plus there were some random dudes with small arms too.

Unfortunately for the enemy, I already met a demon engine in a wrecked ship quite some time ago and I know how to deal with one lol - tough shit Fabricator XDDDD

But it turns out this wasnt all and the most interesting stuff was yet to come.

Turns out that the chaos techpriests built a demon cogitator to calculate some highly heretical shit. Imagine my surprise when Heinrix - the guy who constantly talks shit about how everything is heresy and how he doesnt set your ass on fire only coz you are a Rogue Trader - jumps all over it and starts pulling levers and pushing buttons. You have several options what to do (some of which include killing Heinrix and yes, you can go full chaos in the game - it is obvious now) and the choices actually seem meaningful (of course it remains to be seen later on).
I chose to break the thing to pieces and Heinrix now doesnt like me lol. OK, Mr. Interrogator.
In other news, I tweaked around with Jae and managed to make her useful now - I run her with bolter and bolt pistol + hand flamer. I would say that Yrliet is still better, but the build I have now with Jae makes her somewhat respectable. I find it strange that she cannot learn to use xenos weapons though, since she is a cold trader and having an ability to use xenos weapons (of which you find plenty) would give her a clear niche. Oh well.
Took me 60 hours to finish the Alpha. Save scummed reloading every failed check.Alright niggaz, I finaly finished the Kiava Gamma plotline.

How long is the Alpha so far?
I played for 37,5 hours so far and I am not at the end yet.
So much for "being turn based means it won't be flooded with encounters."Took me 60 hours to finish the Alpha. Save scummed reloading every failed check.
And thats it for now.
Assuming the shaman stuff hasn't been touched too much then there is no proper official explanation for why humanity pulled it off and not any other of the myriad of xenos races that were around, the shamans were pretty much the original gary/mary sues in how wise and selfless they were, understanding the dangers of chaos and forming a long term plan whilst not giving in to megalomania and all agreeing to a collective suicide in the name of the species, not bad for a bunch of magical cavemen.Question to the our resident WH40k sages. Why other races didn't produce their own "emperors" once the chaos became a problem? And i mean a being as powerful not some puny "gods" or whatever. They can't into some dirty primitives doing "magic" stuff? Because that was the requirement on Earth.

Although in the case of eldar, the answer is they lack imagination and are too dogmatic in general. This is an eldar failing, they never had to invent anything or truly innovate in the entire history of their species since the old ones gave them everything including their tech. Even yvraine who seems to be their Emprah equivalent was a happy accident rather then a deliberate act, the original eldar plan was to rely on soulstones forever since it's all they knew what to do.
I suppose you could argue the dark eldar are less rigid and more creative but their imagination is 100% invested on how to torture and kill people in new ways and being degenerates in general.
And thats it for now.
At what level did you end up? We start at 15 right? Could be indicator of how long the game before Alpha content is.
Guardsmen don't salute like that. 4/10, barely playable.implementation of lore is excellent.
Some do. Salutes vary a lot.

Agree, for a ceremony like that. But since the SoA is two-handed, I don't think it's well suited for a standard mil salute.They should do thealbanian eaglesign of the Aquila for better brand recognition. Doing the eyvallah seems a bit informal.
Ended up on level 31, so it might seem there is a plenty of content before the point when the Alpha starts. Plus there should be a whole lot of stuff after it too.

This is kinda baffling. Is the progression on class even be able to reach much more than this? We started at 15 and basically at the base class full. So I would assume at level 30 the advanced class is also already full. So after that no progression? Considering we have 4 base and 4 advanced class?

60h for a full blown crpg seems ok to me if that was the whole game - if that was the whole game. But i'm possibly in the minority here, i for once think that Fallout 1 length was too short and was its weakness.I played for 37,5 hours so far and I am not at the end yet.

That's exactly my point. I stopped reading walls and walls of text in Pathfinder WOTR too. Quantity sometimes doesn't have a quality all its own.60h for a full blown crpg seems ok to me if that was the whole game but that was the alpha.
Only if you are not having fun. Otherwise it can be 500 hours and nobody will care.I played for 37,5 hours so far and I am not at the end yet.

I blame the delivery - you can have the same amount of text, but when it is broken into smaller chunks it is easier to swallow. For similar reason it's easier to go through dialogues than monologues or exposition dumps.That's exactly my point. I stopped reading walls and walls of text in Pathfinder WOTR too. Quantity sometimes doesn't have a quality all its own.
