I am playing RT for the first time with no prior knowledge about Warhammer 40000 so I obviously accept and keep every companion because I want to experience all of the storylines. It’s also pretty easy to justify as an Iconoclast. However with some of them things get a little intense…

Kibellah chopping it up during an audience on the bridge. Cassia torturing people on the ship and then going like „dirty plebs…” Like can y’all be normal for 2 minutes!
(I haven’t met Marazhai yet but I know I’m in for something else)

So I’m wondering what everybody’s headcanons are for a RT that is cool with everyone?

Shortly after release, I played the game till Act 5 as a Iconoclast till I realized that I couldn't get the ending I wanted because of a bug. I've been itching to play it again till completion, as since then the most of those bugs have been ironed out and we got new dlcs.

I was wondering whether I should go for all different convictions once to see how much the story changes and whether it is worth it ? You guys can give spoilers if you want as I know what happens in the main story.

**THE EMPEROR GAVE ME A VISION**

TWO POSTS? DLC 4 IS FOUR AND 4 IS 2 + 2? THE POST WAS 3 HOURS AFTER THE LAST ONE 4 - 3= 1?

1? TWO? 1 POST NEXT TIME OWLCATSTARROK POSTS IT WILL BE 3 POSTS AND 4 - 3 = 1? JUST LIKE 3 HOURS - 4 = 1????? COINCIDENCE? 1 THE DIGIT IS 1, 1 MONTH? DLC 4 SAYS SEPTEMBER RELEASE WHICH IS IN WHAT? 1 MONTH? 1 - 4 = 3????? 3 WHICH IS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL OF THIS? 3? AND YOU KNOW WHAT SEPTEMBER IS THE THIRD OF? THIRD MONTH OF THE METEOROLOGICAL AND ASTRONOMICAL AUTUMN

4, DARK HERESY IS THE 4TH GAME MADE BY OWLCAT, 4 AND 3

WHICH MEANS DLC 4 **AND** DARK HERESY RELEASE SEPTEMBER 3

(apology for posting a second time mods, something wasn't right with the first one)

So I think it was around early act 3 or late act 2 of my first run some time ago that I'm made up this BS conspiracy that boils down to "would Theodora Von Valancius be above Frankensteining an heir?"

The franken-heir would be from different lines that broke off the main bloodline or whichever line Theodora was from.

And while I was tinkering if I can apply it for my Rogue traders backstory (context : I have no prior knowledge or knowhow about Warhammer prior to this game- I got into it cuz my crush recommended it to me )

At the time my thoughts were

would that be humanly possible? no? (Well now my thoughts are, if a shit ton of augments can be done in sure this is kinda possible- it not uhhh- fckjng magic of plot armor then)

I give you Frankensteined heir to the dynasty that didn't know they were basically Frankensteined from other heirs that were dumped as babies- or sum messed up (I learned from the game Warhammer universe is just MESSED UP MESSED UP like that)

Also other Frankensteined heir stayed in the same squadron (or whatever term is accurate, my RT was a Navy Officer :D)

I mean the whole squadron wasn't all to possible von Valancius heirs- BUT A GOOD CHUNK is and I think that's fucked up, that they all. . . Tragically died. . . Suspiciously. . . A year before Theodora just NEEDED to train another heir just as Kunrad was removed from the line of succession and Edelthrad seemed all fine and dandy as the secondary choice after Kunrad. . .but suddenly Edelthrad is primary choice and they need a new spare- HMMM suspicious indeed-

On a side note I may have lost the plot for this conspiracy at some point and decided to just shove as many telenovela level twist but basically, frankensteined heir arrives not really as an heir but so Theodora can possibly fuck up the expanse even beyond the grave-

How she will do that isn't fully plotted in my head but sumthin sumthin take soul and put it into Franken heir sumthing sumthin (the soul transfer is new addition to the conspiracy seeing as my current run has the Lex imperialis and Void Shadows DLC . . . I'd like to implement the new lore I've encountered simply because what the hell was da point of body swapping with Maive!!! The poor girl, she didn't need all that 😭 )

Also the Rogue Trader:

Hmm, how do I communicate that I wanna shit my pants?

“XENOS SCUM!”

Suuuuuup. Yoinked from u/lionetts, u/Jackviator, and u/theREALvolno this week. Always looking for more donations. And I won't even make you stay down there in the mines. Aren't I such a good boss?
