Playing Heretic feels like im loosing IQ

[Jemandem]

Beeing a Heretic Rough Trader is like the worst, i feel like i always take the moste comic book villan approach to most solutions. As if geting killd by the 1000 or taking a demon as a pet is not somthing some of my crew would rais an eyebrow about and call somone in... Its realy realy bad.. 80 int psyker and all i come up with of beeing evil is Treating every one and make decissions like a 10 year old to get a toy.

That's what we like about Heretical. Just a shame we have to roll with Chaos Undivided rather than choosing a specific Chaos God patron. No Skulls for the Skull Throne...

Chaos in a nutshell.

It stands for death and destruction; your reason to be is to serve and feed the Chaos Gods. That's it. What's more, the Primordial Destroyer can actually give you the boons in order to accomplish this.

The whole reason the Emperor (stupidly) kept his Primarch sons in the dark about this element is because of an innate worry they'd succumb to corruption. Lo and behold, they did any way.

Remember that you can't really blame Heretical for being so stupid as it's part of the game.

It's like a super addition.

You may have innocently dabbled with Chaos or did so unknowingly at some point, but it then starts to rot your brain and corrupt your soul.

Things that others including us players think is totally crazy and self defeating, seems perfectly "ok" and totally within ones self interest. Not just "ok" but the bestest most fulfilling deal ever made in the history of the Galaxy!

well said. what i love also about chaos is often when someone turns if there about to get killed they suddenly realise what they are and it breaks them, and then they turn even more toward chaos lol. chaos feeling like it does in this game is pretty bang on tbh

When you let your soul be corrupted by chaos, all rationality goes out the window.

That is, if you think that Emperor didn't plan the heresy himself to become a god. Maybe the chaos was right all along?

W40k really embraces the concept of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".

Honestly, if it was otherwise I'd say the game is WAY outside of how Chaos should be depicted via lore.

I would like to play like being a masterinde controled by a differend entety, somewhat like the dwarf was controled in Pathfinder to betray his owne pppl

Along with everyone included on the ship. Even inquisitor and sister of battle.

[fenlander]

Chaos is exactly what the word means, Chaos. There are no rational thoughts behind your actions, you become a puppet of the ruinous powers.
I sense far too many of you here in this thread have heretical thoughts and are straying from the light of the Holy Emperor. The Inquisition will hear of this.

I would really have loved to go Tzeentch or even Slaanesh personally. The more esoteric chaos gods are really fun imo, and Khorne and Nurgle already get a lot of "screen time" per se.

Other side of the coin to being Wholly Dogmatic. A pure dogmatic can easily *fail* to find the Slaneesh cult on Janus. They support Chorda burning people alive for minor infractions, while she's been awake on drugs for over a week, while she's eating someones brain out of there skull while there still alive. Both sides are stupid and blind, and that's the point. Fanatics don't think, they *Believe*. And well this is a setting where Will=Reality.

There is even bits during the confrontation between Chorda and Valdim in act 4 where a player sufficiently advanced Either Dogmatic or Heretic, just pulls *powers* outa there ass even not as a Psyker, on faith alone. Meanwhile the iconoclast has to talk to people. A Faithful slobbering fool, gets more power then anyone else.
