been playing the rogue trader videogame for a bit and holy fuck are these fascist dipshits just fucking aching for heroic deaths, like I know that's the point of the imperium but this is the first time I've seen it written well & done within a context so they don't just seem like a goofy cartoon bad guy or a hypothetical in a rulebook/setting primer

oh yeah, they're all pieces of shit. Any traditional 'Paragon' dialogue choice is at best ineffective and often just outright DETRIMENTAL for your character
oh no I'm outdoing most of them, I'm going all in on being BFFs with the emperor as a sanctified psyker, me and the sister of battle are besties who love setting people on fire and giving bibles to orphans
imagining 40k Disco Elysium as a game where most inner voices are actively drowned out by the ecclesiarchical noise
"hm. that orphanage appears to be run by someone with 3 arms..."
the ecclesiarchy: you should BURN the orphans
psyker instability: you should BURN the orphans
warp influence: you should BURN the orphans
hideous necktie: you should BURN the orphans
For a moment I thought they had made a video game of rogue traders from BBCs watchdog and I got so confused
that's a show that'd be improved by militant catholicism and machineguns
