Good Game, Bad Ending[Spoilers]

[Leonardo Trapovich]

Won't bother using the spoiler tags in the text because i assume that even the BG3 tourists can read THE TITLE(though they often prove otherwise).
Anyways, if you are iconoclast, your first slide after killing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ C'TAN SHARD is getting told that "lol lmao you were too nice to people so muh imperium of muh emprah of muhnkind invades you and turns people to being mindless savages again".
What is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ grimderp? At least heretical options are obviously ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid - iconoclast gives a ton of benefits in game and in story instead, just to ♥♥♥♥ on you in the ending slides.
*sigh* imma go play Black Souls - at least "I AM GOING TO ALICE" simulator is good grimdark.

Well yah you chose the clearly dumb choice of having one sector goes against the might of a massive imperium

Should have sided with Nomos if you wanted a good ending as an Iconoclast

Deviating so far from the imperium ideology was just asking you to be branded a heretic and get crusaded on

Tzeentch could have helped against the Empire from behind the scenes for change's sake alone. He is the god of change after all so such stuff should be most welcomed by him even if serving the cause of good.

Nope. As the god of change, Tzeentch will immediately change his mind and destroy all you achieved anyway.

God of Change, not God of Change "for the better". He is the epitome of schizofrenia, Tzeentch wants change, no matter what change, and as soon as one state is reached, he immediately tears it down.

Well i went Iconoclast and used Nomos to merge with the entity and he basically became my god protector. Tbh feel like in WH40k its about the happiest ending you can get, before it all goes to ♥♥♥♥ again.

grimderp at its finest
i bet heretic gets a better fate simply because he wanks to chaos instead of a corpse.

Listen man, I’m doing an iconoclast run. Plenty of bad ♥♥♥♥ happens when you do iconoclast choices, from the get go. The very first choice allows a demon to stay in your head and it gets worse from there. You want to believe that hope and good wins but again, this universe has physical manifestations of chaos to let you know demons are really real.

The emperor is essentially mankind’s chaos god so while the imperium is excessively cruel to the point of insanity, the tenets of their faith protect them from the actual chaos gods. It’s a dark, unforgiving universe with no good guys.

Nomos ending lets you be an Iconoclast with the Imperium being unable to do anything about you. Pretty much no ending slides except the first ones acknowledge it though. Lazy, lazy. Halo device put on any character also affects nothing.

Thats why hes the dumbest chaos god.
Like a bank robber who breaks in, drops off all his own money in the vault and shoots himself in the foot on the way out.

Tzeentch has no desire to win or for the great game to end.

No, Tzeentch could wait. He make a "deal" with Magnus and stopped mutations in his Legion ... for a time :)

That’s because the primarchs are like collectors editions. All the chaos gods wanted one and Tzeentch wanted Magnus.

And the irony is that the chaos gods exist because of the Imperium's attitude. It's a self-defeating loop that the overall writing of 40k is very much aware of and is why the Imperium is doomed to eventually fail because of it.

Personally I think we should all just let the Tyranids win. We all become part of a greater whole, no more worries about the warp, and we get to eat as much as we want!

Yeah, the emperor getting all corpsified and force fed psykers for thousands of years really just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the universe. There’s no winning for anyone at this point

Or we can do the same trick Necrontyr done...

I hope GW doesn't expand the story but im pretty sure the warp entity that identifies as the Emperors holy ghost will eventually prevail. It can Summon its own demons and will posses people in times of need (Living Saints)
