Chaos Corruption?

[Yakov Yurovsky]

I really hope there will be an option to corrupt your crew and fall to the ruinous powers. I'd rather serve the warmaster than the corpse emperor

[G Willikers]

Yeah he's done great. It only took Abbadon 13 tries to take Cadia

[Fuzzyballs01 ꦙ]

with how this is an RPG, most likely y ou will be able to get Chaos boons

Even better, you just serve yourself as a Radical / Renegade.

I think some of the trailers have hinted at the possibility, and I'd be surprised if there wasn't an option for it at some point.

The main issue with alternate evil/corruption routes is the extra workload it can put on the writers and developers to account for the possibilities. However, you're a Rogue Trader, so being self-serving and building up a power base that flies in the face of Imperium law is what you *do* anyway.

Just flavor it in chaos, have some covert daemon interactions/temptations, account for companions getting corrupted or turning on you, and...bam.

Here here!! For the Dark Gods!

[Nechlord]

I mean there's heavy hints that you'll be able to at the end of the industrial planet.

Wouldn't be that much of a work load compared to the previous Pathfinder with all of its mythic routes and unique quest lines I imagine.

[Jaeger]

Yeah, that was the comparison I was making in my head. Hopefully a a Chaos route will be a good bit more fleshed out than the mythic paths since there were so many in WotR; albeit with some getting more love than others.

Dedication vs. Undivided, maybe?

[RorytheRomulan]

I don't see why not. Heretic. *Preps flamer*

Agreed. It's safe to say at this point that he is no Horus Lupercal.

True, Abby is 'armless, not dead.

I meant there was no way in hell he would have ever gotten to Terra, let alone breach all the way to the Sanctum Imperialis and the Eternity Gate, smart guy :P

I feel like wrath of the righteous suffered badly from this, there were so many paths that many of them were never really fleshed out

Absolutely, some of the Mythic Paths had more love, or at least more consistent writing, than others. Not counting the ones that were basically afterthought unlockables rather than true paths.

Still, there were a lot of paths and they were meant to have an impact throughout the campaign. Having some Chaos options and *maybe* some specific god variations is, theoretically, a much less daunting prospect.
