Dogmatic RT VS Winterscale [SPOILERS]
So this is confusing me. I'm not going to use spoiler text since it doesn't work in the preview so beware HEAVY SPOILERS below.



We all know by now that Winterscale is corrupted by Khorne. When you get to the encounter with your alternate selves in Act V, the Dogmatic one says that they 'killed Callios Winterscale, a cultist of Khorne' or words to that effect. However, when you get to the encounter with the Aeldari and Nocturne, the only Dogmatic option is to attack them immediately, and this is Dogmatic +20, so it's pretty important if you're shooting for max Dogmatic. But this seems to fly in the face of what the Dogmatic alternate RT says. What's weird is that there are plenty of clues that he's corrupt and I'm standing there with an Inquisitorial acolyte and Psyker, an expert con-woman and a Navigator who can basically see peoples souls, and yet there's not even a skill check to realise he's a heretic.

Is there seriously no way for a Dogmatic RT to expose him without siding with Xenos, which is a massive Dogmatic no-no?

Let me spoil it for you. Caligos is not a heretic. He is mind-controled by Worten though a khornate corrupted axe. Caligos does not realize what he is doing, that is why he looks lost when you point at his weird behavior.
Also let me spoil you another thing - picking an imidiate Dogamtic choice is not always the best thing, as sometimes you get another Dogmatic choice if you ignore the very first "kill everyone" choice.

Whats worst if you fight alongside him, he literally yells "Skulls for the skullthrone", and you can call him out on that after the fight but nothing else. I was so ready to shoot him right there and then...

Yeah I'm starting to think that something happened during act two and the writers were switched somehow there are dogmatic choices on the factory world of yours that is just heretical it's heresy where I did not experience such thing anywhere else then act three happened and things went downhill. it almost feels like the story isn't finalized and then it was rushed to fill out the content it's clearly feels like there was supposed to be a D&D alignment system I think they ran out of money and they had no choice but to release it as is

Nope, there is no option for the Dogmatic RT to coerce the Eldar into surrender despite awareness check showing that they are broken and exhausted. It kinda makes no sense tbqh.

The Janus Eldar encounter is better because you can Dogmatic persuade them into being the planet's xeno pets.
