Chapter 1 ending SPOILERS DO NOT READ.

[WarMaster GoreHowl]

So I defeated Aurora and all the dropships are safe. Now I have all these options.

DO I save....
Nobles
Commoners
The Reactor
THEN blow it up or what?

[Fistimus Maximus]

I saved some of the ships, I first saved the reactor. then had to make a choice between nobles or commoners As a noble I chose to save my fellows as there isnt a shortage of the low born. pretty certain you cant blow it up if you choose to save anything.

I loaded up my save, you get a -5WP permanent debuff.
Now I'm going to bed pissed. Especially given the the debuff description:
"The Ruinous Powers remember those who witnessed the death of Rykad Minoris. Woe be to any who draws the eye of the Archenemy"

My character was on his ship, sending troops to retrieve the fusion reactor. He did not witness any more than any of the other characters.

Now I have to hope that it was worth it.

Really? You're playing a Warhammer 40k roleplaying game. WH40k is bleak. It is dark. There is no victory. You just go from one no-win-scenario to the next. This is what Warhammer is.

You're faced with an entire world falling into the hands of Chaos and you got a choice to make:
1) Save a few replaceable people whose survival makes no difference, not even for your concience, as billions more will die in horrible agony, eaten by Demons and being food for an entire Demon World, which will be a blight on the Sector for millenia to come. But you get the gratitude of a couple completely irrelevant people.
2) Save an irreplacable reactor and condemn a billion souls to be food for the Chaos Gods, leaving a meandering Demon World in your wake, which will result in the deaths of billions more in the coming millenia. But you get space rich.
3) Blow up an irreplacable artifact, loose an entire world and consign billions of souls to oblivion. But prevent the spawning of a Demon World and with a bit of luck, the souls of the doomed may escape eternal damnation.

None of these choices are good. None will leave your concience clean. But since billions die regardless, you can make a choice that results in the prevention of loss of even more souls... Within the setting, there is really only one choice.

We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge. In fealty to the God-Emperor, our undying Lord, and by the grace of the Golden Throne, I declare Exterminatus upon the Imperial world of Rykad Minoris. I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world, and consign a million souls to oblivion. May Imperial Justice account in all balance. The Emperor Protects.

Oh look, another 'lore nerd' who exalts the grimdark over everything else, ignoring that the setting has to be that way so that players and other major characters can be even greater heroes in the face of such horrifying bleakness.

I did a bizarre thing where I saved the nobles and the Electro Priests and their arotech (The important people XD) but left the commoners. It effected the ending slide which I will spoil here for anyone who cares: SPOILER!!


The nobles resettle to a new planet but have no laborers so they hire the people readily around them... pirates and mercenaries. They become a nobility of space pirates.

The Electro Priests do something that involves building a massive ship to harness their arotech generator so they can fly around space, shooting sparks at space rocks or whatever stupid stuff they're into.

Yeah I don't want to be one of those casuals who comes in and terraforms the hobby to suit their needs... but I always felt the best part of Grimdark was the sparks of hope in the darkness, that strive for something resembling a good outcome. I don't watch Berserk just to watch Guts suffer, I want him to overcome, I want him to be happy despite the plot beating him down.

Same with 40k and I'm very happy with the endings... I got my bittersweet, though what happened to my Eldar weigh on me heavily...
