Space marine lore:

Isn't that basically the US Constitution?

are no such things as "male hormones"

What is testosterone

Women have testosterone just lower levels.

Women have testosterone just lower levels.

This "just lower levels" is actually a pretty significant difference.

 

[Sykar]

Irrelevant to the point that testosterone is a "male" hormone. It is also an important hormone for women since it regulates bone density and sex drive for example. The reason why women struggle with bones disease at an advanced age is due to them having lower levels to begin with so their risks of osteoporosis is much higher than men's due to this since testosterone levels go down as you age.

No.

 

[Lacrymas]

The effects of testosterone are the same in women and men, so arguing over semantics is moot. My point is that female space marines wouldn't look different than the men because the process hijacks the normal puberty of a person and turns them into whatever the space marines are. There might already be female space marines but nobody has a clue or cares. If you want what we would call *feminine* space marines, the sisters of battle are for you.

Looks like someone you're going to have to bitchslap at least once.

 

[Infinitron]

If you want to lead your trade empire to success in the Koronus Expanse, you’ll need to know your allies and enemies.
Let us introduce all the main players in the sector to you, with our new Dev Diary!

 

[Reinhardt]

They should be thankful to GW because they could've included lore as to why Marines had to be white. Boy, imagine the shitstorm on that one.

zog off! da greenest iz da biggest and da strongest!

 

[razvedchiki]

where are the orcs.

 

[ArchAngel]

where are the orcs.

it might be too much to have every possible race in one part of space. In addition to above mentioned races we also see those images with Necrons. Also they might want to leave some of the races and companions for DLC or next game.

I miss the times we had expansions instead of this overpriced "to little for too much" bullshit.

 

[Peachcurl]

where are the orcs.

Hiding. Sneaking. Infiltrating.

Probably just elsewhere tho.

 

[Tyranicon]

If the game does well, Necrons and Orks are almost guaranteed DLCs, judging by what GW products have historically done.

We might even get space dwarfs.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I'd love a Necron companion to bring along with the AdMech one and see hilarity ensue in their banter.

Edit: Lorelets getting triggered by things not conforming to their limited understanding of 40k. Sad!

 

[Peachcurl]

Tyranid companion when?

 

[Storyfag]

Tyranid companion when?

Mebbe not a pure 'nid, but a 'stealer hybrid could get worked in somehow.

Fair. A seeded human or an early generation 'stealer hybrid is possible.

There's even... okay, rather heavy spoiler (though not for this game)...

Spoiler

a novel which focuses on a rather large Rogue Trader fleet getting, among other things, infiltrated by genestealers.

Question is, does Owlcat have the balls and skills to work in an actual companion which is 100% guaranteed to backstab the protagonist? Doesn't even matter whether you stay loyal to the empire, or what else you choose. The hybrid will try to murder you, or worse, get you seeded.

Did they have anything like that in Wrathfinder?

Nah, they're not really into that Bible-beater shit.

Wrathfinder has companions who will betray you depending on your actions and some NPCs who will betray you no matter what. A companion who will always betray you wouldn't be worthwhile (that trick only works once, then never again).

Yoshimo is handy to reserve a place in the party for Imoen. And Troonfinder has the worst companions in RPGs ever Regill excepting.

True, it probably makes no sense as a reoccuring story feature. But it would be a nice twist, for once. Essentially: having a minor or major antagonist in your own party.

So Kreia in Kotor 2 ?

So Kreia in Kotor 2 ?

However briefly, Tartuccio is in the party in Kingmaker.
