Cassia is still as op as ever. Picked perks to debuff my opponents.

Now whenever my Cassia enters the scene, the enemies get automatically debuffed by 15 points to each stat (probably stacked up by other perks taken by other chars). Then I apply more debuff with her, and their stats lower to 1. And then, I click on the AoE and everyone in the line of sight dies (including the leader because of the aforementioned debuffs)

I'm in the early game, I've decided to replay the game.
Now imagine you also have Idira with you and she applies her own debuffs and buffs for your party.

Playing a pure Dogmatic run and you'd kill/imprison half of the companions and a significant amount of quests. The game seemingly corrals you into Iconoclast.
Depends on your interpretation of Dogmatism. You could be an Utilitarian, or you could be a narrow-minded Dogmatist.

Just because you can, does not mean you should.
I have 2 parralle runs one is pure Domatic the other is pure Iconoclast.
I have not handed Idira over to the inquisition. Yet.
Jae is in my Dogmatic's retune to atone for her sins by serving Empire.
Who else would you like to spare - the perverted space elf? Or another perverted space elf?

And Iconclast acts extremely retarded at times.
For example, you see a band of mutants with tongues covered with underdeveloped teeth kill your crew member for his boots.
Iconclast option: "Poor souls, you've never seen kindness in your life, here's a coin for you".

Dogmatic has only the Emperor's mercy to give and gets more positive effects.
My Dogmatic Commisar can pray at the ship shrine to get a buff, my Iconoclast Noble has no such option.
Iconoclast got a permanents debuff after saving people off Rykad, the Dogmatic got a good night's sleep after Exterminatus.

So far (Act 2) the largest difference I've seen is the pirate's inheritance quest.
But it's mostly tied to the way you arrive to Footfall, not your alignment.

All in all Dogmatic feels as "canon" and more fun way to play.

oh....my wrath is righteous...
Impressions on leaving Janus - women should not be allowed in government. How did the Emperor miss this?
She delivered results and exceeded all KPIs. It's implied that your predecessor knew about the whole chaos cult thing but was open minded enough to overlook it, because selling potato to starving space stations is a very lucrative business and the chaos-worshipping milf governor was the best woman for the job.

That's one way to look at it. Mine is that the whole thing was one step away from turning into a huge, uncontrollable mess.

None shall lower their guard in front of heresy
The archenemy feast upon our pity
The emperor protects us with his guiding faith
The heretics shall taste his wraith.

If that redheaded elf bitch calls me a monkey while I'm trying to ask about space-Lolth one more time I'm gonna airlock her, or at the very least make her get in my bathtub.
Tell her she is a dirty animal in your eyes as well, it will make her like you.

(That's just like IRL too)
