[QUOTE=thrawn2787;32770070]I really wonder if Gamesworkshop even cares about their fucking fluff anymore. Clearly they don't when it comes to video games[/QUOTE]
There's been like 2 minutes of footage and a rumor post of semi obvious features from a game that won't be released for over 17 months. Oh man totally going to be ruined.

They stopped caring ever since they let Matt Ward write the Codices

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;32769934]How does an Eversor even fit into an MMO? There would be thousands of Eversor Assassins running around than. And aren't they like lethally addicted to chems and drugs? Does that mean I have to spend all my 'credits' to buy drugs or I die? It loses it's fear factor when anyone can just become an Eversor assassin.[/QUOTE]
How does a guardsman fit into an MMO? All you do is run up to people and die.

Wasn't that one of the first things he ruined seeing as he's a chaos fanboy
Yeah he's tainted chaos (daemons codex) too Rayven didn't have a full list

I think Salamanders are pretty cool.
[QUOTE=bigbundie;32771974]How does a guardsman fit into an MMO? All you do is run up to people and die.[/QUOTE]
I think there could be a number of ways to do it, depending on how much fluff-butchery you're willing to endure.
For example, giving fluff the finger, start as a guardsman, level up to a veteran (new weapon types, meltas, plasmas, bolters, shotguns, longlas, and perhaps close combat stuff aswell), after veteran you could branch off in multiple areas; stormtrooper (hellguns, hotshot lasguns etc), commissar([B]BLAM[/B])((petclass?)), tech-guard (upgrading augmetics?).
Less fluff-butchery option:
Start as a Schola Progenium initiate, go on to stormtroopers (heavy weapons, branching to damage dealing/tanking, progress to ???), or commissars (perhaps pets, buff/heal? class, close quarters, progress to commissar lord), or inquisitorial agents (psyker(("elementalist")), glass cannon?, progressing to a full inquisitor late game) Possibly another class branch could be various assassin types, like their rumoured plan is, but I dunno much about that.

You know how their needs to be helpless mobs for you to grind on? same principle, just with human players.

should i get codexes just for the lore? i dont have any min's but can i get them for the lore?
WHY OFP
Why not the first ArmA or a game I already have? I want to try it.

Also curious. How much lore is in them?
Playing it just makes me wish I knew how to port it all to ArmA 2 to be perfectly honest. ArmA: CWA (aka OFP) is only 6bux on steam at the moment, though.
[QUOTE=Salricci;32771698]So....whats youre guys favorite space marine chapter?[/QUOTE]
space wolves, iron hands
From what I've seen, the first half of a codex is usually all fluff.
And can I say Death Guard is my favorite Space Marine chapter? I mean they [i]were[/i] Space Marines at one point.
My favourite chapter is the Space Wolves. Also, I just tried the DoW 2 demo, not my bowl of rice. Just didn't like it :\
Was thinking on getting the THQ Hit Collection pack thingy.
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;32773502]

A pretty large amount.
Once I finish my Fire Warriors. I'm going to get a Devilfish and the Codex. Some more paint.
I found a new hobby. Even if I don't play with them it's a wonderful waste of time.
Why does EVERY W40K butcher fluff?
[QUOTE=nightlord;32775741]Why does EVERY W40K butcher fluff?[/QUOTE]
Because united fluff doesn't exist. There is no true holder of information and it's always biased/incomplete.
[QUOTE=gufu;32775759]Because united fluff doesn't exist. There is no true holder of information and it's always biased/incomplete.[/QUOTE]
There is for most things. It's always simple stuff like the size of Space Marines, bolters, factions etc they get wrong.
Dark Millenium looks like it is going to do ALOT of fluff butchering.
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;32770263]Shit like weapon fluff I don't particularly care about. The rest of the fluff I do and I don't see how it's hard not to break it. Why can't games have a good story? Why can't said story / gameplay not break some basic fucking rules established in the fluff?[/QUOTE]
Because if you do that then anyone who isn't a Space Marine you're going to die horribly quickly, that's why stuff in Retribution is as it is, they don't want an IG player to go up against anyone using Space Marines and find their whole army in tatters and their base in flames in 3 seconds because the bolter obliterates anything not encased in armour.

The game should be built around the fluff instead of the other way around.
