LOST MY NAVIGATOR!

[GrandMajora]

Alright, I'm at the Augur's Anomaly with the bottomless pit and I went along with the dialogue checks where I gave into the entity and sacrificed a baby. The pit seemed happy, and abducted one of my party members. I did not realize until after getting back to the ship and picking the Heretic option to not form a search party, that the one who is now missing is my navigator (and potential love interest).

Obviously, I can't travel the expanse without her! Does anybody know if she'll eventually be returned, or if I have to reload? Because this seems like a pretty massive hindrance to going Heretical route, if it can steal plot specific characters like this.

Going full heretical route you will lose half your party anyway, anyone Dogmatic and Yriliet. Though you gain a potential Chaos Space Marine and the Drukhari will hang around without getting upset..

At any rate, I had already saved after losing her.

And all the auto saves did, too.

Guess I don't get to cross breed the rogue trader dynasty with the super powerful mutant on this playthrough.

I'm irritated, because she was one of my most powerful glass cannons. She couldn't take a beating, but she could nuke half an enemy engagement with that third eye of hers.

She comes back. Oh wait, sorry misread.

Picking the heretic option kills them permanently lmao.

Silly heretic.

Jesus, bro, so you literally choose to not search for her and you whine about it LOL?

[Cutlass Jack]

This is why I never rely only on auto/quicksaves. Or throw babies in pits.

I want to go Heretic route first. Didn't expect them to take the person who's responsible for allowing my ship to navigate the warp.

Speaking of which, there's a massive immersion break. Because I don't seem to actually require her. I can traverse the warp just fine, as well as seek new routes, even without my navigator present.

Upon Cassia's death the game really should throw a bridge event to recruit a non-companion Navigator our way. Even if they're of lesser quality and thus more susceptible to the horrors of the warp than good ol' three-eyed Cassia.

there is a non compain navigator you can recurte

Once you throw babies into the pit, you are long past love

You need Navigators to navigate your way potentialy safer and potentialy faster.
Just charting your course can be done by mechanicus cogitators. Wich is super unreliable and dangerous way to travel throuth warp. And you are probably insane to try that. But it works.
It is how all the Forge Wolrds were founded by Mechanicus explorator fleets during the Long Night. Only unlike now they did not even had a general idea where they travel too. Just jumping blindly somewhere.
Not to mention that navigators strain was bred only some time after the warp travel was even invented during the Dark Age of Technology.

This.
Game SHOULD be essentially over if you throw away Cassia and Pascal, all other companions are non-essential but these two are necessary.

At some point I acquired an NPC Navigator on my bridge. He's to the right of the RT throne.

I agree, Pascal is best boy. Hits like a friggin truck with his two handed power weapons, and passes all my tech checks.

Interesting. How did the game handle it? Was there a bridge event about the issue? Or did the NPC just appear out of thin air?

He just appeared out of thin air one day, not sure at what point. There's no dialogue for him or interactions, he's just another piece of semi-ambulatory bridge furniture.
