Annoying Companions

[LuluTheDuck]

Is it just me or Yrliet is ANNOYING AF? She's badly written character and everything about her is just annoying. You would think after tagging along with a bunch of humans (WHO took her in as an Outcast) she would grow an ounce of Humbleness and Appreciation. But Noooo, she's just an arrogant ungrateful ♥♥♥♥♥ as ever.

She kept calling every human characters "Monkey".

Her romance story is so uneventful and mediocre. Besides who wants to romance an ungrateful arrogant ♥♥♥♥♥ anyway???

I've played alot of RPGs, she is one of the WORST written and annoying Companion ever. I mean... I can't even pronounce her name!!! Everything about her is just annoying.

Heinrix is coming second in annoying level. His character is just so 2 dimensional. Even the Robotic Pascal got more personality than him!

As someone who has no deep WH40K knowledge, I can accept Yrliet as she is, since she is not a human and probably her mind works differently.
About Heinrix hard disagree. He might seem rigid, and that is perfectly fine with what he shares about himself... but have you tried playing as a female RT and romancing him?

Why? She's an Aeldari. She'd be badly written if she did the things you suggest because it wouldn't be true to her values. Her appreciation to you is shown through the fact that she hangs around and kills your enemies.

She can come to appreciate you, but does so as an exception to your people, not as the rule. Given the setting she's pretty much dead on with that too. Humans are xenophobic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in 40K.

Outcast is her chosen path and does it really confuse you when every human calls her, your "Pet Aeldari". She appreciates you and only you, even members of your retinue keep calling her that.

[provokastoras]

i mean after a while she calls you elanchar... whatever that mean. i supposed that is cause the poor voice actor can only voice so many names before running out of voice...

Dude for an inquisitor heinrix is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ saint especially since he is of the Ordos xenos branch. Also as you play an iconoclast he can get influenced by you and changes his views a little. He becomes more merciful and tolerant of others. You must not have alot of knowledge about Warhammer 40k because the companions in this game are toned down alot for new Warhammer fans.

[SoundsOfNight]

Pascal is a legend. Probably one of the best RPG companions given what you learn it him.

[Outlaw]

She acts like a normal arrogant Aeldari. For the Aeldari, humans are simply stupid animals.

They're also functional and fun, compared to most 40k lore.

She is not badly written. She is well written. She is racist space elf, one of the least racist of them all, of the least racist and evil race (beside humans and space monkeys). She is perfect example why humans have to be in war with every alien out there.

This made me smile. Sums stuff up perfectly.

Very well written!

Big spoiler for all of Warhammer: Every race is pretty much one character. They're all xenophobic towards each other, they all are absolutely 100% convinced that their ways are the only ways, and they either have kill-on-sight orders for the other races or straight up refuse to even entertain the notion that any other race is sentient by their standards. Not sure if this is the original writers accurately writing a parody of the human condition or being accidentally brilliant through lazy writing with sweeping stereotypes; either way, you're supposed to feel lured to rooting for Chaos because at least Nurgle loves everyone equally and wants them all joined in glorious decay, as opposed to everyone killing each other mindlessly over stupid dogma. Owlcat are just being accurate to the lore, for once.

Yr is actually pretty radical for her race by admitting that, maybe, possibly, potentially, a single human does not suck and might have a functioning brain. And it takes weeks of actively surviving life-or-death situations and living with them for her to finally admit it.

Heinrix is equally radical for tolerating most of your antics without immediately calling the Inquisition down on you; an Iconoclast can also convince him to be slightly more lenient than at the start.

I do find it immensely amusing that Tau are missing from this game considering their policy of coexistence and working with 'The Xeno' rather than just shooting first and shooting again.

You are more likely to get Kroot than a Tau, Tau don't work with other, other work with Tau.

Owlcat is TONING DOWN here, in real 40k setting heinrix or argenta will kill you if you pick chaos option and don't have to wait until you join with chaos marine

Yrliet is well written and enjoyable. Pasqal is amazing. Pasqal is my favorite character of the group from this game and he's a great for crpgs in general
