Battle at Navis Nobilite Station - WH40k: Rogue Trader #2

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Episode 3 is out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHOtfImIl7Bgotk Likes and comments are always appreciated! It's a good day to be an Imperial. As prompted by comments in the previous part, we are off to the Navis Nobilite station to find our Navigator! That way we can safely (mostly) travel through the warp. By the end of the episode, I go over what missions we have left to do. Let me know what you think we should do!

The prison planet

[@Dressyone223]

That whole negotiation with the lower deck workers was very interesting and I’m glad you can choose to not be a stereotypical Imperial officer who would just execute them all.

[@chillax319]

But I'm also glad that Owlcat didn't chickened out and allows the players to act like the biggest scumbags too.

[@SirMarshalHaig]

I went pretty much for the same more gentle command style and let them get away without punishment but not with arms. It feels like the right call but as it is 40k I fear lenience will bite me in the butt. This is why I also saw this as a one off thing and for the moment left things in the 1st officers hands...well let's see where it will end.

[@Eric-dg2cx]

This is good. I'm amazed by the quality of the writing. The NPCs are awesome. I suggest that you start by the prison. It is an outbreak, so I believe that Gideon as a guardsman would go for the emergencies as a priority. Waiting for more of the chronicles. Keep up the good work.

I find myself loving the story and the dialogue more than the combat itself. The amount of choices you have to make is what makes the game great (as it should). The random encounters while traveling in the system is also impressive.

[@takirosh]

As an Inquisitor, I find the way you dealt with the situation on the lower deck, potentially troubling. But you may have also made sure a lot of the menials in that sector will be personally loyal to you. The thing that worries me the most is the fact that the amulets of heresy appears to have come from either higher up in your proverbial foodchain or from an infiltrator. I would remedy this by either recruiting a retinue of clerics and sending them regularily to monitor the menials while seeing to their spiritual needs. Or the safest option would be to send them all to the Emperor and let him sort them out. You should also send enginseers to weed out potential tech heresy. Lord Inquisitor Takirosh Ordo Machinum.

[@DasShekati]

I like the banter with your crew, especially Abelard. Gideon seems like a great leader so far. It's also interesting to see what kind of problems a Rogue Trader and his officers have to deal with.

[@Otto-Maximilien]

“Oh God what’s on my ship” 😂 yayyyy Surreal Owlcat lp was looking forward to this 🔥

[@CrazyxEnigma]

1:15:16 This is the moment when my opinion on Abelard changed. I'm curious to see the next part of his quest and the character arc he's beginning to set out on.

[@Kodasa_Sinclair]

Argenta plus bolters is insanely fun, especially with RoF boosting gear and the Sacred Bolter Casing for the Soldier HA. I just had her dump a 38 round burst from a heavy bolter into an act 4 boss that had 3k health and regenerated to full after reaching 0 the first time. It was at 2599 health before the burst, reached 0, regen'd to full, and then was left at 454 at the end. A quick "wildfire" and a second burst shot, and it was well and truly dead. Sacred Bolter Casing makes her soldier heroic act insane too, as you get like 20 single shots with the heavy bolter and they cannot miss.

[@puttekara]

Lord Captain! Congratulations to your elevated position, though a damn shame what happened to good lady Theodora. Fine work in securing the aid of young Cassia, she is sure to navigate the ship as well as the warp can be navigated. Fine work with the uprising in depot 4. While the Seneschal has a firm sense of duty, and has proven and will continue to prove to be a valuable servant, and maybe even a friend. He would do well to remember that the carrot and the stick can both be equally effective, if one is used too much above the other, the effect will lessen. We all look forward to seeing What the future brings. The emperor protects.

Hey, Surreal, I want to say thank you for your videos, as they are keeping my spirits up during finals week. I am definitely enjoying the addition of RPG or RPG-like games to the roster of videos, and I would like to suggest a game called Underrail as I think it's an excellent game with a lot of roleplaying potential.

[@Blackandwhitecat-to5ll]

1:13:50 I like option one more, chewing Abelard out like that. If Gideon chose that dialogue with your thought process "I would rather calm an angry mob than let it fester for external forces to easily reach out from your wrong assesment and doom us all. This is why Theodore died by factors of the common rabble of the previous attack and your "methods" on solving them, I will not repeat her mistakes Abelard."

Aaahhh! Yes! Most excellent Rogue Trader! You’ve done good - most of your ilk would have just shot down all of those what’s the word… strikers? But not you! No no no! You are bringing about some true noble and just change! They, the human inhabitants of the lower decks, are in my humble opinion, although I don’t speak for all my kind, so it’s not guaranteed, are less likely to become what you call heretics because of your actions. Keep it up! Has for what you should do next… hm. Perhaps you should do whatever option makes the most change? Sends out the biggest waves, on the sea that is on the other side of the warp? Setting those unjustly locked up on that prison planet free could be a good start… maybe you’ll get some more crew out of the matter? Till we meet again, honourable Rogue Trader, may my master ever spin fate in your favour.

[@bmetalfish3928]

a classic case of the differences between navy officers and ground officers, an inverted situation did cause a us civil war top brass murder so I hope this pans out well. Navy officers have this tendency to be more hardass than ground officers.

[@SurrealBeliefs]

You nailed it. That's exactly how I envision it too.

[@imaran1303]

Depends on the Ground Officer... if you were to play... say... a Death Korp of Krieg officer... he would have gassed the entire lower decks and allowed the Emperor to sort them out.

[@barrym2112]

I really liked your command decisions so far, especially in dealing with the strike below decks. That is until the end when you dealt with the other ship. I was shocked you you decided to blow it up despite the strong recommendations not to. It seemed like the game designers were trying to tell you something - like there was more there to do. Did you interact with them, find out what was there and then go back to an earlier save and change your mind?? That was very out of character I thought. I would have liked to see what more there was to it.

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Hi Barrym -- thanks. No, they were just pirates and they're one of the many factions in the game. What you're meant to do is up to you as a player and in this case, we draw the line at trading with pirates. There's plenty of other factions you can trade with and strangely enough, I can still trade with this faction through the High Factotum. Which means unless that's unintentional, there is no real consequence for blowing up that ship.

[@Dracobyte]

This Let's Play has been awesome so far. On which difficulty is this?

[@ZacharyMorris-y1x]

Question? when he served in the guard was it from the bottom up enlisted grunt or was he groomed from a young age to command troops I feel like that could be a disconnect between his second and him

[@SurrealBeliefs]

I'd like to think he's spent decades working his way up and was begrudgingly given his last rank of Lt-General. It's a situation where if you're so good, then they have to acknowledge you. He was known as a maverick.

I think Gideon has been a bit soft as of late he'll need to toughen his act up or the galaxy is going to eat him alive and spit his soul into the warp. This is supposed to be a seasoned guardsmen and he didn't even tell his officers to stop bickering like children?... By the throne I'd hate to be in his council with everyone just screaming at eachother with ideas and orders as he just sits there.... I personally would of probably just purged the lower decks but your approach did let you learn that it was probably higher up that the heresy starts at. Though I have one thing I have to say to you.... By the gods could you please choose whether you're reading something or not! In a game were reading is the story I can't have just half reading something and skipping my man some of us need time to pause so we can read what's happening your lightening fast skipping over everything is a little grating but it's the ones you start reading to just then skip suddenly that get me, like bro please warn before skipping so I have time to at least read it myself lol I've been sat a few times going "oh he's reading it that's- NOPE it's gone what the fuck did that just say" then I got to rewind to read so I know what's happening. Please just warn me dude

[@SurrealBeliefs]

I disagree completely that he's soft. He's less concerned about antics that are personally motivated. What matters to him is how they perform in the actual job and the moment when they're needed. Also for Gideon, it's important that he instills loyalty even with the rabble down below. If we are exclusively hated and feared then that opens up weakness if someone provides them an enticing offer. I try to sum up the core parts of what is going on from time to time. I'd be shocked if there's any essential elements that I missed that wasn't just dialogue fluff. There is so much reading in this game that I've become hoarse after even recording a single part. I would have to quit playing this if I tried to read every single word, every single line and section. My voice wouldn't be able to keep up with it. I would try to read aloud everything that comes up for over an hour and check in, haha.

[@liamf5995]

@@SurrealBeliefs I get installing loyalty and all that and that's not really my point... The fact you let two officers bicker over a trivial topic so openly is really not something I'd expect from a seasoned guardsman. I mean Gideon has seen what that does to the front lines I'd bet he's watched full battles getting lost because nobles bickered over what strategy to use. I would even go so far as to bet that he's ignored some officers to move for a better strategy and yet he's not telling his officers to act like actual officers of the guard?... Just not what I was expecting from this guy, I'd definitely be going in for a transfer if I was stuck in his officer meeting where there all shouting matches like that one, everyone clambering to get heard by the lord.... Yeesh. And yea I understand not reading everything that's understandable especially with the long vids you put out and still keeping them edited, I was more asking for more time so we(specifically myself if I'm honest lol) could pause and read take the ending with the pirates there. Sure it didn't add much but I would of liked to read the two paragraphs you instantly skipped through without a thought lol I'm a fast ish reader I think but not that fast. Thanks for reaching out though and explaining! Keep doing you my dude even with my complaints I'm enjoying the vids so far!

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Since it's text I just want to make clear that I don't take any of this personally and I do enjoy discussing character choices and reasoning them out. It's fun! That's a massive reach and assumption based off one interaction you don't agree with my choices for. Did this take place in a critical moment where we needed just exact obedience? No, not at all. If it happened in a situation like that, then yes, clamp down. You said it yourself, it was trivial. Your example isn't applicable because nothing of what has happened has translated to some negative event on the battlefield which is where it matters. You also have to consider that this is NOT the Imperial Guard anymore, in fact we're a sort of quasi-lord over a people who live in the ship. In this case, Gideon perceived that if someone like that young officer would risk her literal life to come talk to him then it had to be important. Gideon would repudiate a bog standard leader who would just have her executed or locked away. Oh I see, that interaction. I'll do my best to give a little bit more time if it's plot heavy. My voice was giving out at that point so I felt like I had to wrap it up. I totally get wanting more time to read. I hope for the episode today that I put out, I don't skip anything important. Sometimes there's a lot of dialogue fluff, so I'll just try to pick out what might be important to read just so I can preserve my voice. I feel like I'm narrating an audiobook, haha.

[@liamf5995]

@@SurrealBeliefs yea I understand, I thought you weren't taking it personally and neither do I. It's good to discuss and quite a few times I've gotten ideas from talks like this with others. Hell it was your paladin that had me once more trying to actually play a good character for once in RP which led to some funny moments. And yea that makes sense he's on his ship waiting to arrive at a spot and in the privacy of his bridge, i get now why you weren't to harsh. If I ever get the game I suppose I'll have to find out what happens if one acts differently myself which is the beauty of games like this. You can watch someone but still play it and have a completely different experience. Yea that's understandable there's a lot there! And while it wasn't really plot related what you skipped over so nothing to bad, I'm one of the weird ones that likes to know everything! Lol. You're doing great as you are I'm just one crazy person I've not seen anyone else mention it so I'm probably a minority of your audience. And I saw you sent out a new episode I'll have to catch it later those sadly too busy at the moment, though I do got a question how xenophobic will Gideon be? Or is that something you're saving to show in the story?
