Dark Eldar Companion

[Pokemastuh]

Not gonna lie, I definitely want the chance to pick one up. I get that chances are low, but it'd be real interesting.

Oh? That's the first I've heard of it, though I estimate I'm only halfway through Commoragh so that sounds like fun then =D

DE dommy mommy would be great. Please Owlcat, make it happen.

I thought the DE companion was just a rumor? Honestly I feel like an Eldar Corsair or even a Maiden World Eldar would make more sense.

A Kroot is fine too.

Very disappointed that it looks like were only getting two xeno companions and both of them are Eldar. Also disappointed it isn't a Incubus or a Wych.

Drukhari never get love
A companion is most likely a wishful thought that turned into rumor. Lorewise I believe theres zero chance for a dark eldar to team up with the crew and fit into the story in this game.

I'm honestly surprised we only get to be an imperium human, in an owlcat game. Their previous games were absolute RP paradises for both evil and good archetypes.
Sad to see so many 40k and fantasy games only make use of a crumb of the huge variety that warhammer has to offer.
The only games I know of with them playable are bloody DoW soulstorm from 2008 and battlefleet gothic armada 2. Don't think DE even show up anywhere else lol

It IS called Rogue Trader. Where you play as a rogue trader. Who are all humans. Maybe in the future we could get a game in this style that is just based on the concept of being someone from a region of space so that we could have a way higher variety of starting choice.

There is indeed a Druhkari companion in the game. If he's whether a temporary companion or a secret companion, remains unknown.

Unfortunately he isn't shown in the recent companion trailer. Could be just the fact they have yet to announce him. Or he is just a temporary companion. Fingers crossed he is permanent thou.

Spoilers: The DE probably is most definitively an optional perma/temp companion, since his portrait looks like the exact portrait used for the Dark Elf main (can't remember his name started with a M I think), male antagonist in the beta at the end of Chapter 2/beginning of Chapter 3. In that latter chapter the plot turned a certain way in that the character ended up on the wrong side of his DE master by failing certain things when it comes to the RT/plot, which looked like an opening for his future recruitment. However, beta chapter 3 was pretty unfinished and unpolished so it never materialized and he joins in a later arena battle to kill you anyways to prove himself again.

I'm guessing in the full game, there's a means to fully turn him, recruit him or make him a DE leader in that chapter and why he's showing up at a Necron Tomb World which at least in the Beta, Necrons didn't show up in for chapters 1, 2 and 3.

My other guess is that he's one of those companions that as I mentioned are optional plot dependent ones. Similar to some companions in Kingmaker/Wotr. Those optional companions tended to be temporary or late game and never were really mentioned or highlighted in marketing as official companions.

I really hope he's permanent. I want to put him, yriel, argent, heinrix, and pasqal into a party just to watch sparks fly.

His name is Marazhai and he will be our companion. You could have met him in the beta. There's even more - he will be available to romance with for both male and female Rogue Traders.

Oh, now that's some heresy...

I can't wait.
