From an immersion point of view, they should be denied that prior knowledge.

This is purely marketing. It's not like their sexuality and relationship status is right there on the character screen in-game. Don't want spoilers? Don't pay attention to the marketing, same as always. They're putting this information out there because there's a demand for it.

And they ignored all straight men wanting action with the Sister but put in globohomo shit with neutral body types?! Neither has a place in WK40K cRPG unless we are playing Slanesh cultists from the start.

I mean, Sororitas aren't celibate in canon, they can have relationships and fuck, (Also didn't they basically start as Vandire's enforcers + private whores?) so it technically does have a place in WH40k, as much as any other romance. That being said, no romance really has a place in the universe, because this is not the setting suited for this kind of story, it's about simping for the Emperor, not simping for thots.

Fuck the Emperor, I am simping for Salamanders.

since this isn't an actual dating sim where every character is on the table, people like knowing up front "Should I try to pursue this character?"

From an immersion point of view, they should be denied that prior knowledge.

Sure, but that's not what Lacrymas is saying. He's trying to put an equals sign between developers informing players about potential romanceable characters and "owing the knowledge of your sexuality to anybody". Which is a retarded statement when you consider there are laws in place that protect much more than just your gender or sexual preferences in real life. "Invading a person's privacy"? We're talking about NPCs here. In the Imperium of Man. Don't expect something like privacy there, because the whole of Imperium of Man is a giant police state (if only because the people in power realize they need to watch out for enemies within as much as for enemies without).

Home worlds.

Are they trying to imply that this information has been discovered through illicit/clandestine methods because it's the Imperium of Man or are they telling you, the player, who you can stick your dick in? I'll accept the former if stated in-game, but the latter is a bit gross from where I'm standing. There's sex-obsessed and then there's invasive listing of a character's intimate/inner world like an inventory check.

So you aren't doing a Hereticus playthought?

is it not the only available playthrough now?

I guess we can play as a straight Imperium fanatic and the game would often consider it evil like in the WotR. Reddit SJW morality would be yellow axis like Azata playthrough in the WotR and Heretic axis is obvious.

 

[Gahbreeil]

I was about to say "Do you people remember PoE? This game makes me feel like the past mattered to someone and now there is a new hope. And I am not a Warhammer person."...

Meanwhile, turn-based combat. Thankfully, BG3 got me used to turn-based RPGs at least a bit. Still, looks like that Lamplighters League game published by PI. Well, the character creation looks rather well-crafted.

Would that be like Lawful? Similar to Aeon or Devil?

how can you be straight imperium fanatic if you are body type xxx chaos mutant?

 

[Lamiosa]

Some interesting equipments just showed on Werglia's stream. Combat in unfair is tense, but I like it, noticeable incline from wrath. Maybe I'll try unfair first playthrough.

 

[The_Mask]

Those boots might as well say: "When Argenta is badass, go ahead and make her ridiculous." haha

 

[Harthwain]

Are they trying to imply [...]

They aren't implying anything. Implying means a suggestion. You don't suggest anything when you're being direct.

There's sex-obsessed and then there's invasive listing of a character's intimate/inner world like an inventory check.

I would wager that "sex-obsessed" sites do indeed have such listings.

Is Unfair just stat bloat? I doubt the encounter design is different.

Kinda, but that forces you to use good tactics and plan your builds properly. Using the battle map is really important too: considering cover, using spells that make enemies move (provoking attacks of opportunity, moving them to traps, etc.). Some fights you have to turtle, others you go all in, try to kill the weak ones to get momentum or rush the higher threat, etc. I feel it works better than pathfinder, due to the mechanics being designed from zero for a pc game. It feels less like a numbers stacking game and more like a tactics and build planning one. Obviously not for everyone though.

 

[Vasya]

You mean forces you to save in combat every turn and reload 100 times waiting for enemy to miss with certain ability? That's my impression from Werglia's fight with chaos marine. I don't like his builds, but I doubt it will make much difference at that level.

Ehh so far at least in the beta it's a mix of making pragmatic choices for the greater good (Launching a exterminatus against a planet that's about to turn into a demon world) and being a asshole (Shooting someone for telling you info they were not supposed to after you a Rouge Trader talked them into it). Also fun stuff like blowing up a big new hole in

Act 3 spoiler

Commorragh

.
It's only the hereticus choices that are full 100% evil asshole

Combat basics.

Yeah that fight should definitely be nerfed, Werglia agreed about that too. At least the sniper should be a lot weaker. But most fights took 2 or 3 tries max for him, and for me that's reasonable for the hardest difficulty of a game like this, especially one with chance to hit/skill saves.
