Yrliet: to recruit or not to recruit.

[Kshahdoo]

I mean my Rogue Trader is a faithful servant of the Emperor and Imperium, and Yrliet is a filthy xenos. Big problem.

On the other hand my Rogue Trader is a politician and oligarch so for him prosperity and wealth of him and his dynasty means almost as much as loyalty to the Emperor. He isn't a fanatic by any means, he can use a xenos if he thinks it helps him and the dynasty to become even mightier and wealthier.

Still having a xenos as his companion... Isn't it too much, I wonder. Not sure what to do with her.

[Hidetsugu]

Well, you might do a modification of the "keep your allies close and your enemies(xenos) closer" saying? Especially if you have an Ordo Xenos interrogator on your ship - at any time you can tell him it is time for him to do his job for some bonus dogmatic points.

[NixBoxDone]

Dogmatic means you shoot xenos on sight. All of them are enemies of humanity for one reason or another.

The entire Imperium is built on a foundation of xenophobia and outright disdain for anything heretical so even the prospect of using xenos against one another or benefitting from their knowledge or skills before disposing of them leans away from the dogmatic approach.

If he's willing to use heretics or xenos to his own ends (in ways other than purging them and taking the valuable land they squatted on for loyal subjects of the imperium), then he can't be fully dogmatic.

If you're willing to play a more grey area sort of rogue trader you could easily justify taking her along just to use her, but then growing to know her enough to decide that maybe not all xenos need to be purged immediately or even at all, so long as they don't infringe upon the rights and livelihoods of loyal subjects.

Basically depends on whether or not you're envisioning your Rogue Trader as someone who is willing to bend Imperial sensibilities for profit or not. Consorting with xenos is Big H level Heresy, so "loyal subject" kind of doesn't gel with it. Needs to be at least vaguely disloyal to even get a foot in the door of jolly xenos cooperation.

She's an asset, a useful asset, Rogue Traders tend to see things like Yrliet like an useful asset that can be useful. You don't have to like her, just have to tolerate and use her to ones advantage. Then if the asset is no longer of value, nothing stops the RT from tossing the Xenos out of the airlock.

She is also often referred to as "Your pet Xenos."

I recruited her and regreted it later. She is such a annyoying tsundere.

I think what he means is the whole "will she won't she" on her trusting or working with the rogue trader.
"Thank you for helping me disgusting monkey". "I expected nothing less from hairy savages such as yourself, but could you please help me find my pals?"
"This thing I saw means you must be bad, let me give you the cold shoulder despite the fact that you bent over backwards and betrayed just about every law regarding xenos in your own culture to help me and then wonder why other primates don't trust my kind".

She's conflicted about even considering working with Mon-keigh but it does kind of come across as Tsundere behaviour - gives you whiplash. :D

Humans see humans as monkeys. Its part of our classification.

[Frienby]

I don't think it's supposed to be monkey tho, and is actually a reference to the race Aelderi subjugated in deep history. It's more akin to "barbarian" for Romans than a racial thing. They just made the names sound similar for edgy grim darkness to justify your hatred of them as godfearing Dogmatic.

That said, Act 3 makes it impossible without some xenos guide, so the moral quandry feels rather hallow. Keeping her around as a "pet xenos" for some noble dogmatic would probably be fine, but then you are forced to literally fly your entire flagship to some far flung system for her and doesn't really make sense if you are keeping her around as a pet.

[Balekai]

The Aeldari term does not refer to Humans as monkeys. Well as far as they know. :D

It's actually a reference to Mon-keigh an alien beast race as Frienby mentioned:

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Mon-keigh

It's a derogatory term for all other alien races an Aeldari has little respect for, especially Humans. Elantach is the term used by Aeldari for friends (Which Yrliet and other Aeldari will use as they gain more respect for you and other humans).

You should recruit everyone possible in the game and do all their content at least for your first playthrough. You can always betray them at the last moment to a certain Inquisitor. :p :P

Yeah, it's exactly the way I want to think, but at the moment of recruiting it's hard to say is she useful or not, that's the problem. To recruit her just for more content isn't what I want to do.

they made it really difficult to keep her after act 2.
During act 2 .. there are arguments to be made. Not necessarily good ones and certainly non under the extreme dogmatic line of thinking, but arguments exist.

Act 3 onwards? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do they want you to kill her..
I did keep her in my iconoclast run and it was worth it, but man ..even as goody two shoes I want the world to be a better place character I had issues justifying it.

[Moldon]

As said above, not only you can dispose of her at any moment by throwing her in the hands of an inquisitor, you also have dialogue options that are racist and harsh. I'd say it's worth a try.

Pretty much that, I actually liked her writing before and after it, including that she stays alien but the act3 stuff... I basically ignored that part of it just because I wanted to see how the rest of the stuff with her plays out, if you take that part serious though your character basically has to be Ghandi or Jesus to not put a bolt-round between her eyes.
Disliked a lot of the writing in act 3 anyway but her part took the cake.

[Aethrys]

Recruiting her as a loyalist is perfectly fine. The warrant of trade is a permission slip from the emperor himself explicitly authorizing you to cut deals with Xenos when beneficial.
