[@tisiachelikii]

@@marvinvasquez9437 I believe it makes sense to say that the events of Chaos Realm (AKA the vanilla TTW3 campaign) is occurring before the events of TWW1/Mortal Empires campaign. And same probably will be true for the upcoming "Immortal Empires" campaign. Now the question is: where the events of The Eye of the Vortex campaign stands on the timeline. IIRC upon the release of TWW2 the CA stated that its events are occurring at the same time as the event of TWW1, the election of Karl-Franz as an Emperor, thus 2502 EC, but that may no longer be the case.

Honestly it would have been cool it the ending have theur own effects. if Kislev won, they get an economic bonus to represent spring, The Demon Prince confederates Kislev and can recruit Kislev units, Cathay got another Dragon lord, Orgres get endless meat or lose meat requirements, Skarbrand gets to fly again, Kugath gets to plague every enemy settlement at once, N'kari get a stat boost from a new sensation, and Kairos get full map Vision.

[@rachellejanssen2655]

I think Cathay's ending has something to do with an upcoming DLC. Apparently there is a whole jungle section to the east of the current map. That's probably for another Cathay legendary lord

What would be cooler for KuGath's God pox is other factions lose any spiritual or religious buffs over time as sigmar,, dragon lord, slaanesh, great maw fall to The pox and grow weaker.

[@magnusm4]

That would've been an awesome epilogue campaign or final few missions. After you defeat the demon and get to Ursun, your final challenge is all the other armies and clans uniting to defeat you. But you now have the buffs you talk about. Like in Populous The Beginning when at the end your shaman becomes a god, and the final mission is you against every other tribe, but now you don't have a shaman walking around instead you can now summon spells and natural distasters anywhere you want with much more energy to cast more spells with. You don't just become a god at the end, but get to play as one as well.

Gotta love the Chaos endings, specifically with regards to their relationship to their respective gods. Skarbrand: Wants Khorne's forgiveness. Gives Khorne his best skull yet (whether Khorne's laughter is mocking "You think you're forgiven?", approving "Now THAT'S a skull!" or nervous "Oh...that's quite impressive. You're not still mad are you?" being up to whatever gives you the biggest chuckle). Ku'Gath: Wants to honour Nurgle. Brews a disease so vile it makes gods sick. Kairos: Wants to usurp Tzeentch. Claims the eyes of a god and becomes master of causality itself. N'kari: Doesn't give a single fuck about what Slaanesh thinks. Steals Ursun's last moments of sadness so he can enjoy eternal, divine schadenfreude.

Not really because Ogres pretty much want the whole body for themselves, they were barely willing to give up even a single drop of blood, so they likely wouldn’t have given up the skull or eyes to Khorne and Tzeentch and Nurgle practically wanted the whole body. Also Slaanesh and Cathy couldn’t really work together because Cathy wanted information from Ursin’s soul while N’Kari wanted to trap it for all Eternity to torment it.

Video Game production (as in many similar industries) is a pretty chaotic one by nature. You always have to prioritise and adapt to meet the deadlines and finish the gameplay, which often comes at the expanse of the narrative design (depending on its importance). So I think it's a safe guess that they completed Katarin's ending cinematic first, but then had time problems regarding the completion of the other cinematics. Artist may not have been able to produce Artwork for additional dialogues (like Katarin has) or maybe the sound team couldn't record the voice cast. The game has been, for a good part, produced in COVID situation, which certainly did not help. The best possibility is a patch, once the team can catch their breath, which completes the other cinematics (though to be fair, only Cathay, Kostaltyn and Boris really needs it. The Daemon Prince too perhaps, but the Ogres and Daemons are fine as they are).

The Ursun story is honestly terrible. No reward apart from Belakor after completing it.

this was even foreshadowed in total war 1 when you play as warriors of chaos at one point in campaign a cinematic starts were the advisor proclaims your are an idiot to get fooled by him and spawns an tzeentch army against you and gets eaten by his white crow which transforms into a lord of change after that. i mean more obvious is not possible. which cannonicly put tw 1 after the events of total war 3

I though the laughter on Skarbrand ending was from Skarbrand, overjoyed by finally getting his debt paid. I don't see Khrone to be one for laughs.

[@GFXCXZ]

You can perceive it like that, there's definitely enough ambiguity in the phrasing. Although I feel like skarbrand getting forgiven would be far more against khorne character. Skarbrand was kicked out because he attacked khorne in a dishonourable way, while his back was turned, bringing him the skull of a great enemy that was already dead and not killed in direct combat wouldn't please Khorne at all. If anything, it makes sense khorne would belittle Skarbrand with laughter because it shows the bloodthirster has learned nothing, it's not about the skulls, the skulls are just a thing to tribute Khorne with and representation of proper combat and victory/ death.

[@josuepereira9782]

@@GFXCXZ I guess even Khrone can let out a laugh once in a while... still this would be one ending where you lose even if you win. But I agree the skull he brought was not a big prize. The skull is a symbol of an enemy slain. The slaying is the important prize, not the object.
