Sadly not, lorelet, that's the whole point.

Warhammer is an universe where we actually do have place for deviants like that.
Slaanesh and it's cults. So "inclusion" is not a problem. But the alphbaets don't want that kind of company.
Oh please, the lore includes multiple successfull Champions of Slaanesh.
I agree that mutliple Slaaneshi companions would seem out of place.

I can see two ways. One is mechanical, the other is narrative-driven.
1) Give powerful abilities and massive boosts to relevants stats.
2) Give the player the ability to do major shifts story-wise you'd otherwise didn't have access to. This is way you will also avoid turning Chaos into a cosmetic choice.

Fall and temptation of Chaos is the most interesting narrative element of 40k outside of the Ork.
If you play any human there should always be temptation and risk, and bad endings for Chaos stuff to make it interesting.
I would suggest making cult of Gork and Mork instead as well.

Yeah, that's why Eisenhorn saga still is the most popular book series from the franchise.

Note for the devs that said CYOA was terrible at conveying info, many choices were made with little info, or with outcomes that were not even hinted at all (like the one above). Something quite common with Codex's quests. Shame Root disappeared and deleted everything for reasons I no longer remember.In Root 40k CYOA, there was a turning point where the story enters a flashback of the Emperor coming to life and the choice given to vote was his wish for Humanity future (which was an hidden faction choice for the CYOA last act)
Everyone voted massively for something like "I fight for the right for humans to be free and make their own choice etc"
It was the Chaos ending.
This one was a straightforward bad choice, that sheeple here voted non-stop for some reason. It also escalated waaaay too fast IIRC.

So you're not just a chaos apologist but a Tyranid, Necron, and Dark Eldar apologist?
Boy you must be great at parties. I hope I never meet you in RL :/
edit - oh the irony of your reply. Projection is a helluva drug.

Reddit's that way.
liberals like Humbaba can't grasp the concept of a lesser evil
if you are faced with a range of options and forced to pick one, picking the one that is the least evil definitely makes you one of the good guys
Are you actually this stupid? Not even considering the fact that Imperium rule is hardly distinguishable from Chaos' rule on most worlds, being less evil than something else doesn't make it "good". Holy shit, this is like philosophy 101 first day.
You neatly ignored what I said about having a limited range of options, which is unfortunately a factor in reality and fiction alike.
> ignoring basic facts of reality
> black and white outlook on life
yes, you are definitely a liberal

So your "philosophy" of ethics is based on the availability of choice, not on the act of actually deciding on an action.
"There's no goody two-shoes path for me to take here... I must be a bad person!"
Troglodytes like you are the reason why GW forces spess muhreens our throats 24/7, thanks a lot.
As previously mentioned, Nevill archived it and many other root LPs in a thread in the PlaygroundNote for the devs that said CYOA was terrible at conveying info, many choices were made with little info, or with outcomes that were not even hinted at all (like the one above).

Oh, I forgot that one. True, but it doesn't tell you which votes won. Also, giving it a quick look, root did truly out-edge WH40k by making ALL options bad or worse. Still though, there times where it's not clear what are you voting for.
That was my advice for the devs: Make choices clear rather than obscure. Obvious, but still good to remind.
TBF, the voters were terrible. I'm not sure why, but the voters in most RPGC's quests are almost as bad as Suff. Vel.'s ones, and these guys are full blown commies with "they/Them/it" pronouns and celebrating non-Christian holidays.

Don't forget the vote for Sphere Diplomacy in Treave's epic.

Who are you to decide what is good and what isn't? Only the Emperor decides it. If you disagree, then you are evil. Simple as that.
