Suggestion: Rogue Trader and Chaos mutations

[Schlumpsha]

One thing that bothered me about my now completed Heretical Rogue Trader playthrough was the utter lack of physical appearance changes. Mutations should be a matter of course for anyone who's as deeply intertwined as we can get from the Warp and Chaos Gods. I mean, even little Kunrad Voidgtvir gets a couple of new eyes on his altered portrait. And there being a whole ending slide about us ascending and becoming a Daemon Prince for crying out loud!

What I'd love to see is something akin to WotR's mythic path overlays. Visible skin tone texture changes, an wriggly tentacle or two, glowing eyes, multiple eyes or mouths, horns or ulcers... you get the idea. A unique Chaos-esque portrait once we reach Heretical tier IV or V would be greatly appreciated as well.

For pure Chaos worshippers - mutations usually sign of failure & Warp displeasure.

Champions of Chaos always have mutations. The more ravaging said mutations granted by their masters are, the better. Becomng a Daemon Prince without any prior mutations is virtually inconceivable.

Yeah, mutations are 'rewards' but a reward from the chaos gods doesn't have to be a good thing.

Champions of one Ruinous Power - yes. Followers of Chaos Unaffiliated could avoid mutations ... for some time

They may not always be objectively good things, but they sure look fashionable. Worth the trade off. :P

Plus don't forget about Thousand of Sons lore - Tzinch (and probably his Graeter Daemons too but on lesser scale) capable to stop mutations if want something from you.

Chaos actually WANT to have a corrupted Rogue Trader helping him to do more chaos so it could delay "gifts" for some time.
