I feel like everyone else at least comments during quests or something. When Argenta in Chp 3 commented about the murder I was like wow I forgot what she sounded like.
She really isnt fleshed out at all. I feel like Ulfar joining super late has way more interactions just in act 3/4 then Argenta did the entire game.
ok yes you are 100% right. The beginning companions are super silent compared to the late additions.
what is up with that? jae and ulfar have been my favs probably because they have the most lines and are late pickups.
weird
I could see my character and her chill out after a few hours of heretic-blasting. Lie down in our spaceship space captain's quarters, drinking space wine, watching Space Titanic. Or whatever people in 40k do for fun when they aren't blasting.
Love how you guys always make that as two sources, when it's the same one. In the same book, the editor Amberly remarks about Sister Julien (your #1), so this is still 1 source. Sister Julien was a Retired sister. I believe it's been established that retired sisters do have long term relationships.
"Cain was also stunned to discover that she was having a secret affair with Brasker, the Schola's Administratum bursar[1d]. To Cain, this was shocking on a number of levels: Cain himself always found Brasker to be rather boring company; in public, he and Julien never seemed to be more than amiable rivals[1a]; and last but not least, Cain had never heard of a Sororitas having relations with any man. Amberley Vail, editing Cain's memoirs, noted that Sororitas are not actually forbidden to have liaisons with men, it is simply that few of them ever have the time to pursue one.[1e]"

As for your #3, it seems the Reddit poster, was mistaken and also quoting Cain's Last stand.
At first I was leaning more towards Sisters have relationships being normal as something new in the canon. I was going by my own Space Wolf codex going on about Luckas the Trickster and how GW has made changes more recently. I'm not up to par on SoB Lore. But the more I dug into it, the more more it seems to be the opposite.
There's only scant few anecdotes within one, maybe two books, that point to retired or non-militant sisters of battle having relationships. But even those references pale in comparison to the agenda being pushed in this thread.
So far it revolves around 1 quote in one book, regarding a retired Sister and teacher at a school. Not something I would remotely consider evidence to suggest a Sister of Battle like Argenta would entertain a normal longterm relationship as Solomon Kane suggests.
I don't consider 1 quote, in 1 book, maybe 2 books? As evidence enough or canon enough as you and others suggest in this thread. When you hold that against long established lore for other topics, such as the account of the Horus Heresy, Space Wolf Wolfen, The Red Thirst, The Fallen (DarkAngels), and any other hard established lore in the 40K universe, SoB having regular relationships isn't one of them. On the contrary, I'm lead to believe the opposite based on the lore I've read and their codices.
I'm also of the thought, that Argenta should technically be able to be romanceable, as a fleeting romance but would make it clear to the player that it wouldn't last. Her writing and comments currently suggest that her priorities lay elsewhere. She makes this clear on numerous occasions including her reactions to Jae's announcements over the intercom.
Owlcat reversing this would require a tremendous amount of work.
That's what this reminds me of.
The problem is, GW especially now days, are never going to admit to this, even if they remove any reference to the term Nun. And that's what the people in this thread pushing for SoB being regular mundane women with boyfriends and relationships, are using along with 1 quote from 1 book which keeps being divided as 3, 4, 5, 6 different sources.
Meanwhile we have numerous other 40K elements with multiple sources to back them up which can be found easily either directly from their corresponding codex, main rulebooks, or repeated in various novels. Yet we find hardly anything resembling the agenda being pushed for in this thread about sisters having normal relationships with husbands and kids. Note that any reference posted is vague, or just a rehash of the same Cain novel. In nearly every reference the poster prefaces by saying "I don't recall, but in such and such novel in a sentence" or "I'm not clear, but if I remember correctly..."
Ask someone about the Red Thirst, The Fallen, Genestealers, Necromunda Clans, Cloning in the 40K universe, Corpse Starch, The Primarchs, Perpetuals, the Black Ships or any other narrative and you find tons of lore sources.
Deal?????????????????????????
She has TONS of lines, it's just variations of PURGE WITH HOLY FIRE, AQUILA, EMPEROR, HERETIC.
She really doesn't, she's profoundly singlemindedly devoted to her cause, as one would expect of a sororitas. The only fire in her loins is for the purging of heretics.
There isn't one, explicitly spelled out in Cain's Last Stand. They don't have a vow, but it's very rare because they're so fanatically devoted to their cause. All that fiery zeal burns out their loins, metaphorically speaking. Argenta is too narrow-minded from autistic zeal to even notice you or herself have sexual attraction. When you first meet, she almost kills you all because she's in terminator nun mode. Many times throughout the story, you have to convince her from being a totally zealous spaz.
