The ending was spectacular. No outro, just "Oh, come on..." with the most disappointed tone I have ever heard from Perun followed by the episode just ending cold.
@@Zanfib32The Imperium doesn’t speak English. English is a stand-in for Low Gothic, just like the faux Latin is supposed to be High Gothic. So they’re not literally calling it “jerry can”, that’s just the “translation”, so to speak.
Definitely still used, Ridgerunner kit definitely has them included and there are a couple on the Imperial Guard vehicle accessory sprue, so far as the models go, they are very much in use in 40k, as to whether they are called Jerry cans...
With the state of poverty the below decks folks are in I'm not surprised that someone managed to slip them a heretical book. They listen to sermons from above, try to build an imperial shrine and collect books for a library. If someone passed them a book, the word of one of the primarchs no less, they are probably not literate or informed enough to recognize the heresy. It's similar to the problem back on the ship; if the poor haven't been educated to recognize heresy it can be hard to seperate the pious but misinformed from the wolves in sheep's clothing.
@@wargey3431 Book of Lorgar is prototype/first draft to Lectio Divinitatus, holy book of the cult of the savior emperor, yes. (prototype modern imperial cult) Faith in Emperor is something Lorgar came up with and mandated worlds he subjugated followed said faith. Every world brought to compliance had a temple built by his legion for Emperor. Lest we forget every Primarch was a loyalist and fervent believer in the righteousness of the Crusade at some point. Lorgar was a good guy. There's multiple versions of what you'd call "book of lorgar", they are all, thanks to warp shenanigans, now the same thing; a demonic, reality warping weapon of a daemon primarch. There's really no defining what the book is now, half burned out piece of paper might be the book, or anything with text might contain it. It's more of an concept and an idea than anything physical in the grimderpness of 40k. Were you to find a first edition (untainted) Book of Lorgar, and were you ignorant of who "Lorgar" is, it would read as perfectly reasonable book accepted by even modern 40k standards. So, yes, a "holy book", before heresy at least. Lorgar's homeworld was subjected to destruction campaign by ultramarines on orders of the emperor because of that first book and Lorgar's views. He NEEDED something to worship, he was probably designed to worship on some level... Naturally, since Lorgar's "god" destroyed his homeworld's temples nonchalantly and refused to explain further, Lorgar got butthurt and started looking things to worship that cared about being worshipped. I.E, the fucking warp gods and then everything was bad. What was a well written short treatise anchored in reality, and written with good intentions, became a + ten thousand volume train of thought experiment/brain leak including every single heretical thought, prayer to the dark gods and demon summoning guide for dummies; after ten thousand years it is a chaos artefact to it's own right; owning one copy of one part of it and reading it; you might find ALL the books you read after Vol.1 are ALL just now parts of Book of Lorgar. Or the book just mystically never run out of new pages. You probably end up with couple of dozen of the things just manifesting into reality every time you warp translate a ship. Lorgar is the author and a Demon Prince, his will makes the book what it is, and chaos gods are probably very much into spreading it's influence. Warp infests ideas of things as well as physical objects, and Lorgar is very much still around; it's his custom demon weapon in literary form, a tool of mass subversion and conversion against imperium. Most likely one of the most potent weapons to exist in 40k, even. While Vol.1 might not be heretical or even that suspicious, the fact that it IS Book of Lorgar; it is warp touched. And warp corrupts.
There's a different resolution to the funeral that I think is kinda the 'best' - you can talk to Denz' granddaughter who's hiding off in the corner before you go into the furnace. She's the only one there (other the chaplain) who actually cared for him, and after you win the fight at the end you can hand the inheritance over to her instead. There's some dialogue about her later on in the game if you take that option too.
Aah, the Fidelio quest is some of the best Grimdark material in the game if you figure out who Fidelio is. Shame they wouldn't leave you alone long enough to find out!
Fidelio is a very divergent quest. I recommend doing a sideload and replaying it, but NOT introducing yourself as Fidelio. It'll be very different. Also, giving the girl the inheritance is arguably "the best" outcome, both in terms of PF gains and in terms of endgame slides.
wow, the demon almost lasted to the second turn. my man you are crushing this incredibly hard, for sure turn up the difficulty. and I'd also suggest leaving Justa at the ship. while Cassia is incredibly op it is all of the extra turns with infinite attacks that turn her into complete monster. also it's more fun to see more story interaction with written companions even if it feels stupid. stupid is fun. unsanctioned psykers are probably fun.
He also did a few mistakes in that fight : - not used air of authority - not used cassia stacks for extra damage - wasted Cassia abilities pick on Inspire (as main nuker she should focus on navigator abilities). While her WP/TOU debuff is amazing vs daemons and aoe move ability is broken OP too. - still use a sniper rifle on Argenta, while get passable autogun from Fidelio quest (lots of shots, low recoil = much better then heavy bolter until lategame). - Used killzone instead of combat locus (higher damage boost, killzone is mostly vs high Dodge/Parry).
I uh... I didn't lie for the inheritance quest and missed this ENTIRE map. I don't think you access it otherwise from any other quest for any other reason. I liked how the quest played out (Very different from yours, VERY different.). That is sort of amazing. I do think the outcome you got is pretty close to what I'd see as worst-possible due to knowledge you don't have. Edit- I am going to include the outcome of my quest as a reply and hide the contents a bit due to major spoilers.
Spoilers lie in wait Tread lightly ye children of the Emperor Shield yourself from lies Reject the xenos May he always protect Ok then, The entire person 'Fedelio' is a lie, sort of. They are a mean joke by the deceased. I'll explain further; I don't disagree with killing the two gentleman at the end, to be very clear, that was good and smart. However it looks like that one servator standing near you at the end lives, they are Fedelio, and they very much need to be killed. The deceased raided a merchant ship, then 1 by 1 burned its crew alive in front of the captain, then burned the captain. The captain's wife later tried to assassinate the deceased, 90% succeeded but he was saved via basically a full body rebuild. He then hunted her down, turned her into a servator, yet specifically made it so she could keep her memories and emotions but would be powerless to act on them, then made her serve him for the rest of his life. That is Grade A, 100% evil. Killing that servator ends that terrible crime. If you spare the servator (Promise to keep it in comfort until it breaks), when the girl's father tries to kill her, she actually manages to overcome the servator's inhibitors to save the girl, kill the guy, and dies in the heroic act of saving the girl. Further outcome is that man's daughter actually seems like a ok person and is just screwed by everyone in this quest, her own father tries to kill her if you give her the inheritance. HOWEVER, the Chaplain is actually a pretty ok person (now, anyways). He adopts here, promises to honorably steward the estate, and converts it into a trade dynasty dedicated to your house to put her in charge of once she comes of age. So while you don't get the immediate inheritance, what you actually get is just straight up better. (Mechanically I don't remember how much profit factor, so maybe not in that way, however lore wise I think it is clearly just a better outcome).
@@FulloutPostal Nah, Book of Lorgar was essentially his personal diary which could summon daemons if read from. The Lector Divinatus was the foundation of the Imperial Creed.
Perun not knowing the old adage about the horrors, I see. "What once was pink is now blue, what once was one is now two". Sass aside, pink horrors have basically always split into two blue horrors whenever they "die" (insofar as daemons die in the materium).
Loving the rogue trader series. Looking forward to go forward to new episodes almost as much as I do to the main defence economics ones on the main channel. Merry Christmas @perun
Man, if you thought Cassia was OP already, I'm in Chapter 4 and discovered an all new method of OP. Infusing on her staff is something that was 'neat', but didn't seem too good (+Infusing to all Characteristics on an ally targetted by a warp power), but... it stacks, and stays so long as you refresh it. And one of her warp powers (Mend the Veil) targets all allies. So Reveal the Light + Mend Reality every turn and you can super buff the entire party into GODS.
Perun. In your efforts not to leave people alive who might seek vengeance, you left the granddaughter alive and gave her a much better reason to seek vengeance.
26:28 Truly, you are Inspector Perun of the Sûreté! :) Also - yes. Absolutely respec Pasqal to ranged. Especially the talent that refunds 1 AP on every Plasma shot. Combine with 'Finest Hour' for Cassia levels of balance, except with Plasma.
I personally enjoy the +~20 melee damage he gets from his special ability and then using the ability that gives him permanent extra damage for removing exploits. Walking into groups of enemies and nuking everyone with 200 damage thunder slams is just brilliant.
1:06 "Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment" What kind of idiots inhabit this station anyway? I mean, you have a navigator, sororita and a mechanicus magos following you everywhere, that's not the kind of people some small-time crimelord can just hire out of the nearest bar... Also i love them showing a type of people you rarely see in sourcebooks or novels, but that should be perfectly common in the Imperium when you think about it - scumbag gangers that are nontheless are zealous followers of the Chirch of God-Emperor.
As an alternative to waiting until you have enough fund to get the heavy bolter. You could hire soldier mercenary with a somewhat more... flexible...code of ethics, who could then use Aurora's Heavy Bolter.
@24:00 That anvar fight gave me so much trouble. They have stun grenades, so leting them get even one turn is really really bad. I should probably respec to also not let the enemy get a turn.
I will give an olive branch to how oblivious the characters are to the very obvious (to us) nature of the foe: The exact nature of the arch-enemy is very very obscured on purpose inside the imperium, you'd either need field experience or be sanctioned to know to be able to immediately identify demons and exact heretical rituals. Since we as players are looking in from the outside we kind of have a massive meta-knowledge advantage over the in-game characters.
In my playthrough I am few quests farther than you and Argenta as Archmilitant with golden bolter, or even heavy bolter is insane when you get deeper down into the AM skill tree. Still less broken than Plasqal and definitely less broken than Cassia. There is nothing better than marching every enemy into the frontline zone with cassia and those who did not die from that will get absolutely anhilated by AoE plasma and Argenta
I'd honestly stop worrying about the heavy bolter. the cabal has a precise bolter iirc, which has so much higher damage and is great for stacking versitility
You really ought to stop getting the members of other houses maimed or killed upon meeting them for the first time. I cannot imagine this being beneficial to inter-house relations.
book of lorgar? isn't that the precursor to the Imperial Creed which was at the time heretical because it called the Emperor a god because they were doing the Imperial Truth. In 40k however it is a founding document of the ecclesiarchy and there is a huge disconnect between "lorgar the prophet" and "daemon primarch lorgar" and only higher ups within the imperium know that they are the same lorgar. due to 10k years and the inquisition redacting everything about daemon primarchs.
That's a you problem. Don't want her to be op? Build her as a human operator. It's literally you who decides to purchase the navigator perks, not the game.
