READ A BOOK (Horus Rising, my beloved.)
That's the game plan to read some books, finished pretty much all of Lovecraft and his circle so I am looking for a new hobby. Just was using the videos of general knowledge of the story and what factions to look into. I only read fantasy as a kid with Malus Darkblade, whom I love with all my heart, but apparently fantasy went to shit and my beloved is died like a cuck, Spike and all. At least that's what my co-worker told me.

It doesnt work exactly like this.
They use something called Gellar fields, wich basically create a kindof protective psychic bubble around the ship, if the Gellar field fickles, you get horrible, poltergeist-like phenomena around the ship, if it goes down, it turns into event horizon.
Sick. I bet there are some really fun stories of shit going bad.

Fantasy got fucked over in favour of Age of Sigma(r), make of that what you want, but at least we got Total War: Warhammer 3 to fill in some of the cracks.

But not all.

R.I.P Fantasy, you were a real one.

PS: Horus Rising is (obviously) about the Horus Heresy, so 30k. There wasn't much xeno presence in 30k, due to them taking a sideline to the galaxy wide catastrophe happening literally on the front door of the Imperium, but that also means that it offers a deep look into how things were before everything went to shit. It explains a lot about how most Chapters/Legions became what they are, what their motivations boil down to, and, most importantly, just how much was lost during this dark age.

In short: 30k is Humanity vs Chaos, while 40k is the mixed bag we have rn. Pick as you wish, the books are always a solid start and I'd say 90% of the official lore we have.

One of my favorite aspects of the game is the little blurb of argument between the different personality traits. I saw earlier in the thread someone had a mod to activate them all and I know I gained more as I played but is it possible to miss some? Are there particular choices that make some more vocal than others? My favorite is the little chime in from the green one... I forget his name, basically the voice of the Emperor lover. I played my guy as super nice and good, but every chance I got to praise the Emperors name I picked it, even the funny face the ghost and yell option, but he still rarely chimes in on my dialog.

I picked unto dust at the start, but he comportment, spine, and rappor are the most vocal with the green, blue, and very rarely the purple occasionally chiming in.

I've spent a bit of time looking at the Developer's code.
It is possible to miss one Afaik- that would be "The Seventh Sorrow," which you can gain during one of the quests. I don't remember getting any others and this one is used rather infrequently.

You get three by default at the start of the game.

label characterselect:
scene selectmenumajoris
with dissolve
$ spinalchordchoir = True
$ templeofthebody = True
$ sacredscreed = True


As for which ones speak the most it boils down to which primary facet you chose. The primary facet seems the most chatty

Apparatchik- Intimidation - Comportment
Rapport- Acquiescence - Comportment
Panoply- Acquiescence - Intimidation

The two smaller facets coming with your Facet Majoris tend to fill in the roles / provide some but not all of information the Major facet would. That is not to say your choice is irrelevant- it deeply changes what information you get the most of and how your character comes off, but for example.

You get some of the information you'd get from Apparatchik via the Acquiescence facet.

Acquiescence = Apparatchik
But with far less detail and your Auditor is far less of an Egg-Head.
Intimidation = Rapport
But your Auditor's emotional understanding is mostly through the lens the fear emotion than holistic.
Comportment = Panoply
But your Auditor is far less of a manipulative politician type.

The Facet Minoris seem pretty equal in chattiness and provide observational data about the world via much different flavors of text.

Razor Wire- Paranoia, reflexes, and survival instinct.
Unto Dust- Like actively anticipating "The fall of Rome" whilst you live in unfallen, but falling Rome. :p Pretty pessimistic trait.
Fortress Unbarred- Peeks into what others are thinking- sometimes past as well. Very narrative and mystical trait.

There is no internal system that ramps up or down any of the voices beyond your initial choices of which ones to pick up or not. They are all boolean. Either you have it or you don't and that is what changes which voices you hear the most!

Thank you for the detailed info. I am glad I am not missing out. I just picked all the choices that I would try to do and have in this setting. Shit sucks, and it's probably futile, but it's your duty to be good to try to make it better. Plus if I were in this setting with the Emperor being real and holding back the forces of Chaos, I would thank him for everything I could. They basically have Jesus on the cross and never let him down. Even if the buildings are in shambles, at least they are there thanks to him, humans were the ones that let it crumble.

Plus the green voice's zealotry gives me a laugh on occasion.

Does anyone know the name of, or where I can listen to, the song that is sung by the girl near the lighthouse in Dylershaven?

Game files. You may need to unpack the files with a program like Unren to access. The song is called "sailorssong" and it is an .ogg music file.

Isn't it actually "Intimation" in the game and not intimidation? As in, being subtly suggested something ?
