Cassia Romance | Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader

[@ravenguard0098]

Cassia at least for me is the epitome of the saying "I can fix her" and dammit I will. The fact that her romance could be seen as a Knightly romance with the RT being said Knight and Cassia the Magical Princess is almost anathema to the setting then one realizes that Cassia is a 40k noble and has a very low view on misbehaving commoners whilst the RT almost has unlimited power almost equal to that of an Inquisitor. Ironically the romance that could make Yrilet almost happy due to the lack of typical human violence/treachery in said courtship.

[@bluesoystercultist7164]

You almost make it sound like a Bretonnian fairy tale

[@Alvaro89Rus]

You can't fix her genes, through

[@bogantofan2420]

What does she give you? The pendant Cassia gift is given if you complete the romance?

[@ImpKnt80]

Navigators are too precious and few in number to be wasted in such a manner. She must marry other male Navigators since the Navigator gene is extremely recessive. This is Warhammer 40k and grimdark requires she marry one of her own kind to have future navigators for the Imperium of Mankind. If she married any normal human no matter how noble or exalted, then her noble house and Navigator heirs would literally not exist anymore. This romance is practically a form of selective gene suicide for her noble house. A better romance option would the Sister of Battle, since she is absolutely free to marry whoever she wishes (she is not sworn to chastity or taken a vow to never marry anyone) and is absolutely in love with a dogmatic RT who literally becomes an Imperial Saint in the story. More important than this petty sentimentality, having our RT marry our Sister of Battle would not hurt the Imperium by depriving it of one of their priceless Navigators by polluting their equally priceless lineages with our inferior "non-Navigator" ordinary human genes (however manly they may be). What good self-respecting God-Emperor fearing Imperial man in Warhammer 40k would sacrifice such a precious and carefully cultivated lineage upon the altar of something as utterly silly and frivolous in Warhammer 40k as "love". Don't like it? Welcome to the Grimdark Future of the 41st Millennium! There is only War!

[@goutam149]

​​@@ImpKnt80umm sisters of battle are nuns With guns in power armor....so marriage and romance is impossible...plus can you confirm the sources which dictates a navigator cannot marry non navigators??also, don't just force your weird fetish of romancing nuns to everyone...... its gross...

[@therat1117]

Cassia's romance is legitimately one of the most tender romances I've seen in an RPG for a long while, and I actually really appreciate that.

[@Twelvegage30]

Cassia did the Victorian age flirting thing of "accidentally" dropping her hankerchief in front of the man she wishes to court so he could pick it up for her.

[@matix1256]

Cool! But you miss super cute scene on Janus. If you go with her on beach, you can give her flower, kinda hold hands and play with water with her.

They did it. They created a character more desirable to romance than Tali.

[@roguerifter9724]

And this time we got to romance her in the first game instead of being forced to wait for the sequel. I'm debating which I prefer but yeah I think Cassia will definitely be in my top 5 game romances probably top 3.

@@Blundabus1337 thank you for answer

[@roguerifter9724]

@@yusufkaradag8983 She and Cassia are very different but do have some similarities. Both have trouble believing the Protagonist can love them, or should love them romantically for different reasons. Both are social outcasts Cassia due to being a mutant and Tali because her people are akin to Gypsies in space (Think alien Battlestar Galactica only the survivor fleet had to roam for centuries until their immune systems became so weak they pretty much live in environmental suits), and most of galactic civilization look down on her people for reasons similar to how Gypsies were often looked on historically. I adore both of them. Cassia's a bookworm and Tali's an Engineer both of which are among my favorite character types.

3:05 Maybe not as hilarious, but the idea of just saying "I believe this conversation has reached its natural conclusion" before leaving without elaboration sounds amusing.

[@cmdr501generalvenator3]

15:10 that was the most heartbreaking moment for my Rogue Trader. I realy feared i did something wrong, choose a wrong option in the romance. Im glad my RT and Cassia made it through this event 15:55 Cassia: " I nearly killed you!" Me in front of the monitor: "16 damage out of 255HP is far, far from nearly killing me, my lady!"

[@V3n0mCa7na63]

The ending was the most beautifully tragic things to read. Long after the rouge trader is dead and she has mutated beyond human recognition she still has a message by the rouge trader telling her she’s still beautiful to him.

[@studentt6064]

The more impressive thing of all of this is that you didn't get softlocked somewhere lol.

[@roguerifter9724]

One thing I just discovered is that the invite her to your chambers to discuss books scene has multiple forms the difference being what Cassia says at the end. I've only found two so far but I've also only run the scene twice. Edit: After experimenting I found four different versions of the scene before getting three repeats in a row. There might be more and I just had bad luck on getting the others though.

I want SoB x Guardsman romance and I want it NOW

[@richardlee3679]

I could be wrong, but I THINK it might be a limitation GW put in place. They're aware that their IP has a very strong aesthetic and often take seemingly arbitrary steps to avoid it. When Darktide had a glitch that allowed for shirtless Ogryn, GW said no, even when Fatshark and the players loved it. People really want a Sister of Battle romance? Impossible, the Sister 'vibe' is being utterly devoted to the Empire, with no room for anything else.

[@louditalian1962]

It doesn’t exist. She is physical but a spiritual one

[@WendingWyrd]

@@louditalian1962 The devs called it a "romance," so clearly something exists. The drama is in overcoming all the Aeldari revulsion toward Mon-keighs. Obviously it's not going to be "romantic" in the sense of moonlit rendezvous, dropped kerchiefs, and extravagant gifts. But the rockier the road, the more satisfying the journey.

[@thetolltroll2019]

⁠@@WendingWyrd yeah, it’s different but it’s very much still a romance. She even makes you choose between her and someone else if you’re romancing other people. A lot of people get way too caught up on the “platonic romance” thing which was never even said by the devs lol.

[@bogantofan2420]

Yes it is not physical. You just meditate and travel both in her and your spiritual worlds, and touch your soul.

[@cadmusravenstag4403]

@@louditalian1962 I read that the meditation at the end of her romance is very sexual, and the meditation is a way for Aeldari to have sex without risking Slaanesh's influence. It's also been implied that Aldari use in-vitro for reproduction to also avoid having physical intercourse. I'm not sure how that explains the Half-Eldar, who are part of the canon though.

[@ShadowDragon1848]

Hi,can anyone tell me how do i get that dialog option in Cassia's quest where she screws her house?I took some different choises,but they look pretty much the same regarding romancing,so is there any crutial one?The game and toybox says romance is active,but i can't make her relinquish the title...please help

[@roguerifter9724]

Boost her Freedom score and the noble courtship score (It starts with Am but I don't recall the exact term) I was one point short on noble courtship when I reached that point and after experimenting with saves for half an hour trying to figure out what I had done wrong I just added the point. I missed a beach scene on Janus with her somehow (Even though she is always in my party) so I'm guessing that was it. Or it looks like there was supposed to be a chapter four romance scene with her before her last companion quest started that I don't think I got.

[@roguerifter9724]

I actually did get the chapter four romance scene before her quest I just misunderstood part of how the guide described it. It mentions an option to sleep with her. What I got in the scene was the Rogue Trader telling her she could sleep in his bed and he would watch over her. Which to me sounds like something she would like because it fits well with the fairy tale romance IMO. A worn out princess sleeping knowing her knight will protect her from any threats as she rests. I was experimenting with earlier saves trying to find it and it started then I realized my misunderstanding.

[@hakeador4000]

SPOILERS AHEAD Having Cassia leave her house to be with you when dealing with the star atlas leeds to a bittersweet ending during the credits. IMO her best ending is when you help Cassia be more independent throughout dialogue choices in the game, you romancer her properly, and have her purify the atlas (making the harlequins and her house happy). Then at the end she does retunr to her house to be a good ruler but is able to enjoy your constant visits
