No Sister of Battle

[Shan ☆ Li]

Not even as a skin, not even somewhere in the roadmap.

I mean I know it's called "Space Marine", but we've been playing Space Marines in pretty much every single W40k ever made. It's like that's all there is to this universe.
For once there's an awesome third person slasher/shooter instead of those lazy turn-based or crappy VR games, which means this is the only chance we'll ever had to play as a Sister, but I guess not.

There are too many good games coming out this month, and if I want to play a big dude mowing down monsters, I'd rather pick God of War.

I'd love to see them possibly modded in but being a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, they put EAC on a single player, pve, coop game and basically screwed the pooch.

I just hope they cancel the PVP and remove EAC.

There wasn't a world were this game was going to launch with Sisters of Battle. Heavens knows the scope of this project was already huge.

If there's any chance of them getting added it would be in a later update.

No because Sisters would require a different play style. It's not just a matter of reskinning a Primaris. What you're saying now is to add a new system, new characters, new mechanics(because Sisters despite having power armor are still squishier than a space marine). That's not an update. That's a paid expansion.

Agreed.

It would have to be asymmetric balance. I would not want them to be a re-skin. The Sister characters would need to be entirely different "classes."

For one thing, Sisters of Battle are a lot shorter. XD

But yes, I know adding the Sisters would be a HUGE task, which is why it would really need to be it's own separate update or DLC. The devs would also need to create a "Chaos-equivalent" for the PvP (Accursed Cultists maybe?).

Inquisitor has a SoB character.

not every video game NEEDS to have both male and female characters in it. if that was the case then a LOT of game design would be flawed.

plus if this game added females, it would instantly be considered "sexualizing women for getting beat up in armor"

lol no it wouldn't. XD
Helldivers II has women in armor. I do not understand this argument. :P

I don't think women getting beat up is sexualizing, pretty sure that's a different thing

Depends on if your a Dark Eldar or not.

just don't belong in a space marine game
they're the equivalent of odst's in halo or something similar
basically inferior space marines

If it was Warhammer 40K: Sisters of Battle, then it would be a different story, no offence, but now it sounds like you just want a forced DEI in the game 🤷🏼‍♂️

What does DEI have to do with this? Because they're women? It's just my favorite faction from the lore and as time go by and a billion of games are released, there still aren't any to be seen except in like one DLC from a bad arpg and as a 10 pixels tall unit in a lazy turn-based tactical whatnot.

As others stated when they're not just downright insulting me, there are many W40k games focused on different factions or setting.
I whine precisely because there will never be a "Warhammer 40k: Sisters of Battle" (and don't me started on the VR title, which whole silly point is to never see your own character), as they obviously don't sell as much as Space Marines or monsters, so it's only logical for a studio not to make a big game about them. But this means this game is the only tiny hope I had of playing a Sister shooting and slashing in all her glory, even if it's just as a single skin of a single subclass only available outside the campaign.

no orcs is sad, i was looking to play against them again, the enemy types seems too low :(

And I also agree with that. Just the usual ugly monsters and mandatory chaos marines when there are so many cool factions is quite sad.
Yes hordes of monsters are cool, but it's been cool since Gears of War 18 years ago. The Orcs in the first Space Marine game were awesome.
Now with how beautiful the game is, imagine a Wraithlord in the background, or even a Tau dropship alongside artillery mechs. That's something that can only be seen in a W40k game, but is still nowhere to be seen.
I myself am somewhat sad for I'll never get to play or see Sisters as I read about them in the books, but the same goes for all other cool factions which aren't major selling points and therefore will never get major games about them, and will never appear on our screens if major games never add them if only as a skin.


Bottom line, I was half trolling obviously, because I know saying things like I did would earn me a few jesters, but truly as W40k fans, we should ask for more.
As cool as a game Space Marine 2 is, after all these years, we should have had our own Battlefront with everything in it. We should have had awesome single player games based on major figures of the universe. W40k has both a deep and amazing lore, and is a great sandbox in which anything can be made, but we only have a plethora of mediocre top-down turn-based games (which are never liked by the community and never quoted as amongst the best W40k games, yet the 20yo Dawn of War still is), two or three good-ish first person shooters, and now Space Marine 2.
If this license made games as good as the subject material is, it'd be the greatest thing of all time.

But I guess it's easier for fellow fans to make fun of me than it is to understand my point

Thinly veiled coomer request for eye candy. Real action games features men only.

Soyboy needs to project himself into a space gigachad to think himself a man

There, we achieved nothing.

IMHO, the Adepta Sororitas is a job for PlatinumGames, the creators of Metal Gear Rising, NieR Automata, and the Bayonetta trilogy

Why not just play Inquisitor - Martyr and stop complaining?
