Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Lex Imperialis Lets You Kiss The Arbites Companion, So I Did

I know some people who play RPGs as themselves, creating a charact🦹er with features similar to those they see in the mirror and making the decisions they would make in a similar situation. I think those people are fools.

For starters, how do you know you would make the good choices in any given scenario? It’s easy to op✱t to save the children from a burning orphanage if you know the only repercussions are a game over screen and reloading ten minutes of playt𒉰ime. If you had to run into the fire yourself, asthma and all, would you make the same choice? Would you join the French Resistance or would you keep your head down and act like nothing was going on? Answer honestly.

There’s an argument that people want to cosplay as a perfect version of themselves, delving into the inherent power fantasy of video games to make life-saving, world-changing decisions that they feel powerless to make in our real, burning world. Still, I don’t find that fun. That’s why I played Baldur’s𝐆 Gate 3 as a balanced, considered mon▨k and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Avowed as a Warhammer 40K Inquisitor.

That segues nicely into the game I wa🥀nt to talk about today: Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. More specifically, I want to talk about the Lex Imperialis DLC, which introduces pets to the game alongside a new compaღnion to smooch. The only problem is, that companion is the 40K equivalent of a cop.

I don’t want to kiss a cop. Put simply, they give me the ick. Maybe it’s just me, 𓂃but I don’t find that attractive. My Rogue Trader, on the other hand…

Mission Kiss The Cop

Spoiler warning for the ♉start👍 of the Solomorne romance.

Romance is a big part of any RPG, and Owlcat CRPGs are no exception. While many players were gutted that they couldn’t romance the Sister of Battle or Tech-Priest (the latter of which Owlcat is trying to remedy 𝐆for its forthcoming Inquisition-based RPG, Dark Heresy), we ⛦know that romance is on the cards for this DLC addition.

Solomorne Anthar is an imposing presence. He’s demanding, something that Abelard calls, “an attribute of their occupation”. Abelard’s opinions on intergalactic law enforcement clearly align at least somewhat with my own. Still, my ൲Rogue Trader is somewhat into this gruff demeanour. There’s probably a soft interior hidden underneath this spiky facade, right?

In this brief encounter, I feel seen by Solomorne’s augmetic eye and the growls of his Cyber-Mastiff, Glaito, ar🌱e surely the sounds of endearment. But it’s at our next major meeting that I know he really harbours feelings for my Rogue Trader.

“Rogue Trader, I request that you personally do not put yourself in the line of fire and do not take unnecessary risks – we cannot lose you,” he says as we board an enemy ship. We, or I? Is this a man doing his duty, or following hi🧸s heart? I know the answer, even if he doesn’t yet. I call him charming and, for the first time, his hardened exterior cracks. He’s never been called that before.

What I do notice as we scour the ship for signs of heresy, is howꩲ effective he is. Armed with shiel⛄d and shotgun, he deflects nearly any blow and returns fire with unsettling ease. Glaito, too, is impressive. As well as being a formidable combat aid, he can be ordered to turn levers and twist valves – and, of course, responds well to pets.

After we’ve dealt with the heretical captain of the Heartless, I’m back on 𒈔the chꩲarm offensive.

It’s at this point that I wonder whether Solomorne really is into me. His responses to my winks and flirtatious advances are met with, at best, 🃏a stoic impasse and, at worst, eye rolls that would ma💜ke a Tzeentchian Spawn jealous. Eventually, though, he relents, and I tell him what I like to do after an intense mission. It sure isn’t paperwork…

I won’t spoil any more of the Solomorne romance, but it’s safe to say that I succeeded in my mission to smooch the spaceꦿ cop. Whether our relationship continues henceforth, I don’t know – the man is married to the job, after all – but I’m glad my Rogue Trader did what I cannot. She broke through the cold exterior, looked past the capability for extreme violence, and saw a man who needed romantic release. Even if our relationship doesn’t go on from here (I’m only in Act 2, so there’s plenty of room for more if he changes his mind), I’ve at the very least made a lifelong friend. Glaito. I know this cyber-augmented pooch will always be there for me, even if his master will not.
