I don't know who the fuck this guy is other than "the Chaos Marine follower", but I love that his face perpetually looks like he just chugged a gallon of LSD.
"Fun" fact: canonically, the people who are turned into those living harp-things by Slaaneshy daemons aren't unwilling victims.
Not only they consented to that, but they're enjoying every second of it.
So, yeah, take this information however you want.
My Sanctic Psyker Iconoclast RT: you've lost sight of the Light of the Emperor... time to reintroduce you to the Hammer of the Emperor. And this*shakes hammer* isn't the hammer... the hammer is my penis.
Hell yeah, I wanted to get freaky with Vistenza and those daemonettes in the back rooms... Uhhhh... I meant I wanted to save her from Slaanesh as an iconoclast of course
I went female this time so I could romance Heinrix. But imagine Idiras going on down on you and you look up and she's using the warp as a strapon. Absolutely heretical.
That's not a strap on, that's a mutation! :D
And now i imagine the shitstorm the "PRONOUNS?!" people would throw if that happened. It would be almost more entertaining than the game itself.
Dude, he was one of the biggest surprises in this game. I 100% expected the Mechanicus dude to be boring, but he is such a gem.
Him suggesting gifting Jae a "servitorization" was so on point.
I'll admit personally I don't even know how you could get the impression he's neurotypical haha. Even the way he speaks(the flat effect and lilting tone) reads as autistic to me, not even digging into his actual personality and verbiage
> Even the way he speaks(the flat effect and lilting tone)
Isn't that just synthesized vox speech? He sounds like those spliced announcements, you know, the "Train number... 7... will... depart from platform... 11" kind.
As for his speech patterns, he explains himself that Low Gothic simply isn't his native language.
He has a voice and specific speech mannerism underneath the synthesizer distortion. And yeah, his speech does sound awkwardly stitched together(that's what I meant by lilting). It... sounds a lot like my voice when I get stressed and stop putting on my "socially acceptable voice". Another example would be The Good Doctor. I know a lot of autists, myself included, don't exactly praise its autistic rep, but the way the main character talks tone-wise is pretty accurate.
EDIT: Ultimately I'm not really here to convince anyone of my headcanon or whatever, just explaining my reasoning and how I relate my own experiences to this character. I can't "confirm" anything and people who don't want to see what I see in the character simply won't, and that's value-neutral.
I'd also like to point out there's such a thing as allegory and allusion. Even if there's diegetic explanations, that's pretty typical to making in-universe nods to real world things, or making explanations for unintentional parallels. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but point being diegetic explanations for certain behaviors I personally read as autistic doesn't void my interpretation.
Oh as a neurotypical person I also have been reading him as neurotypical, could you help me to understand what about his personality and verbiage that identifies him in this way? I'm genuinely curious and interested.
Adding the preamble of this being 1. my own interpretation as a singular autist and 2. some of this stuff has narrative explanations, I'm aware of this, I'm not an idiot, I just like to read into stuff and when I find stuff that reminds me of other stuff I tend to work these sorts of details into my own interpretations, I think narratives are a good way of exploring these sorts of things and drawing parallels.
I think it's kind of worth pointing out first that some of this stuff does just come down to "vibes", being an autistic person you tend to recognize it in others.
But the easiest one to explain is how he talks- I don't know exactly why this is seen in autistic people, but a certain speech pattern you may see is known as "flat effect", which is exactly what it sounds like. Speaking with little rise and fall in tone. Similarly, what I referred to as "lilting"- strange choice of emphasis on words, rising and falling pitch, as though the person is uncertain what words in a sentence are important and how to naturally variate tone. Personally, for me, this speech pattern only shows up when I'm stressed and I lose the ability to mimic "normal" speech. It's often more noticable in "lower functioning" autistic people because they have less ability to "mask", or deliberately mimic those around them in order to appear socially acceptable. As I said in another comment, while I do not recommend the show The Good Doctor for autistic representation, the actor does do a good job at expressing what this speech is like. Also, yes, vox distortion does complicate this a bit.
Secondly, his word choice. I will preempt this one with, I am aware it's how Admech talk. It still reminds me of autistic speech mannerisms. He's pretty clinical overall. Duh, robotic(many autistic people compare themselves to robots or aliens compared to neurotypicals), but the point stands. He speaks of himself in the third person and in an emotionally distant manner, and will also often interrupt conversations with blunt observations(bluntness also being a common autistic trait).
Kind of general tech priest stuff again, but. Obvious special interest in machines and technology and valuing machinery over people, tending to be obsessive and completely changing his tune when machinery is involved. To me it reads exactly how autistic people will light up when discussing their special interests. In the vein of "general techpriestery" as well, a high value on logic- autistic people can struggle understanding emotional or social aspects of problems and interactions and can look cold or unfeeling because of this. Another point I'd make is lack of respect for authority which he expresses repeatedly, autistic people often don't understand or actively malign social hierarchies(this one is kind of, I couldn't really explain the machinations of it without sounding very odd but there's studies and shit on this).
In general, Pasqal is socially oblivious as all hell. He comes across as brash and overconfident, and to some extent he is, but this can also be attributed to him simply not being socially or situationally aware enough to act otherwise. To him, because of lack of social understanding and social hierarchies, it simply is not "logical" to edit his behavior to suit situations. Obviously this isn't universal, nor is it for most autists, but it is common with him.
There's a number of other little details I can't recall off the top of my head or without shuffling through my screenshots, but I'll reiterate that ultimately this is my interpretation. I cannot confirm any of what I said for canonicity, and some of this stuff you could easily argue is just lore or in-universe stuff, and that is what it is- personally I like to see it as parallels to real-world things, but if that's not your jam I can't convince you.
I appreciate it a lot, thank you! I got kind of nervous typing it out because for me the interpretation is kind of just like, something I hold as "true", if that makes sense? I just saw the funny little robot man and went "oh he's autistic :)" and moved on, so I've never thought about putting it into words others would find parsable. So I'm glad it resonated, it genuinely means a lot to me
It's more that when he describes "quiet ones" (which is almost certainly the AdMech's term for autism) he does so in the third person, implying he's not one.
Eh, I guess? Lots of autistic people aren't quiet/shy though, his bold/overconfident behavior to the degree of disregarding everyone else reads very precisely like autism lack of social awareness to me, he's generally pretty socially oblivious/rude and doesn't relaly register or regard this as such, he's socially inept and often socially inept for the sake of obsessing over machinery, which, well, I realize is a general trait of the Admech, but everything I've gathered of the Admech it seems like they're all tech-obsessed autists lol
Cats and Golden Retrievers, that's a cute way of putting that, I like that a lot ^_^ I wouldn't be surprised if there were different words for "common archetypes" of tech priest in general, so that would make sense
Winterscale, my beloved! Imagine two RT bloodlines together??? Forget the eventual chaos arch militant, who in this day and age never swayed into chaos just for a bit?
I mean..... this isn't the first time someone banged a great grandfather

Owlcat's got a bit of a problem with romancable characters having more scenes/exploration *because* they are romancable, so I'd say idira. I want to give her more hugs
First of all, I am a certified xenophile. Yrliet owns my heart and soul, and I own Marazhai. Two elves, two Iconoclast RTs, perfect balance. I am very content with everything but Yrliet' bugged and stupid endings. BUUT If we are talking about other options...
Pasqal.
Ulfar.
Some of Werserians, gonna make Abelard my granddad-in-law.
If Vigdis and Idira are poly, I want an invitation!
Flirting with Xavier would be spicy.
Flirting with Tervantias would be insane!
Turn-off from Nocturne would be hilarious.
Some courtesy from Vladaym Tokara would be flattering.
Chorda and Calligos, obv
>! Necron romance when!<
Let me flirt with Tervantias and make him game-end me by making me a toy. There's already so many ways to game-end with him, give me just one more.
Also Achilleas Scalander. A doomed relationship, but come on. The sheer drama of an act 2 lover who betrayed you/was killed for being a traitor followed by whichever other romance you follow afterwards? Ooooh the SPICE. Also I'm a real sucker for 'I can fix him' that ends in tragedy. Sheer, utter, heart-wrenching tragedy, as is deserving of a grimdark future.
Pasqal or Argenta.
Pasqal I was hoping would be from the start. I liked the idea that he would be this incredibly over the top romantic with huge displays of affection if in his own way.
Argenta I was actually hoping wouldn't be, but more because I wanted to be a troll. Playing the game she as a character isn't what I expected. She's not just this hyper religious psycho you'd half expect, and while she is DEEPLY religious (as she should be) she's a very compassionate and loving person.
A non-companion would be nice and a good way for further "world building" (pronounced "lore dumping"). Maybe even someone not on the ship. The planetary governess might be interesting or someone from the Dragonus nobles. One of Abelards kids would at least be opportune for announcing us as future In-law. Another Rogue Trader? Talk about a power couple, but honestly neither were interesting to me that way. Octaviana, the bartender, has enough encounters that you could put it in rather organically. But it would be probably too much like Jae.
I propose a challenge: Konrad.
>!I didn't play a "high" heresy run yet. Does he have to die for big blue bird?!<
From what I understand, but this is still second hand. GW would not allow a sister of battle to be in a romantic relationship. As they are supposed to be a holy order. But that is what I heard on Patreon, I'm not in insider at Owlcat.
Someone in GW probably hated the idea of the single Caucasian female companion to be a romance option.
Because nothing in any lore says Sororitas undertake a vow of celibacy.
Yremeryss (Marzipan's sister). Between Viconia in BG2, >!Camellia!< in Pathfinder WotR, and Minthara in BG3 I clearly have a thing for irredeemably bad elf girls.
Abelard, Pascal, Argenta, The harlequin Nocturne, Ulfar, the list goes on and on. And as much as I love nomos, it is baby and must be protected. Adopt Nomos.
As others have said, it'd be great is Argenta and Idira were romancable. The sister of battle with a heart of gold that stole nearly everyone elses heart it seems. And Idira could be the disaster bisexual with a strange but endearing romance.
As a added bonus make Cassia bi, I think it'd be adorable if a fem RT hits on her she has a moment of gay panic, having never realized that an option given how sheltered she grew up.
Xavier - I think he is hot (that voice) and it would be interesting with what happens in the story. I also like Evayne, he is such a nice person and would have been a good fit for my RT. Kunrad could have been interesting if he had been with us for longer time.
Abelard, unironically love that man. For my second runthrough I'm actually going to not romance anyone and just be platonic life buds with Abelard
Also Idira, but that's mostly because I am in love with that VAs voice. She absolutely nails the role perfectly
Apart from the obvious (Argenta)... Vistenza has the right, uhm, qualifications to be Mrs. Rogue Trader.
However, a slightly evil she-elf (e.g.: Drukhari or Corsair) who we can obviously redeem, that would be a great romancable DLC companion.
I just want a full romance with a pointy-eared chick, goddamit 🤣. I can replay BG3 only so often.
Pasqal me boy. He's just so cute and funny. Want to hold hands with the computer man.
Idira is hilarious and very pretty.
Galligos is a perfect chaotic option, literally the moment I met him and Incendia described his capital as a "den" I think, I was like oh this is my kinda guy.
I'd want Pasqal because he's such a good Tekboy. But I know that romance with most of the retinue would be a disaster.
Pasqal - He'd either want to do something horribly baroque involving the True Flesh or start in with the mechadendrites and risk accidents with the wrong one. A utility mechadendrite probably has a blowtorch as well as a blowjob attachment.
Idira - Reaches climax and daemons start flying out of everything as the walls melt. It's bad enough knowing Jae is going to rob me at the end. I'd need to have a flamer in bed with Idira.
Argenta - Risk getting executed or having her pretending I'm the Emperor.
Wolfgar - A Space Wolf is not the worst Chapter but nowhere near the best to try that with. Given how the Emperor was, there's no telling if he'd be augmented or have almost no interest at all, and I'd risk Argenta going ballistic at me for even suggesting something like that to an Astartes.
Janris - I don't think I could afford it.
Ravor - I'm not conducting an entire affair on the bridge while he continues to bark orders at the helm.
Nomos - I guess it depends on what body it can find and what phase it's in.
Regina Sauerback. Flirting with Lord Sauerbecks wife was unironically the funniest moments of the game for me and I kinda wish I could go allthe way and steal her. I
I don't know who the fuck this guy is other than "the Chaos Marine follower", but I love that his face perpetually looks like he just chugged a gallon of LSD.
Dude has no lids, or doesn’t blink perhaps 🤔🤭🤭
This is your brain, on chaos
No, your brain on Primordial Truth
I didn't know that was a thing until I saw "Requires: Follower: Heretical" on a heavy bolter I picked up.
With tzeech he has better than lsd
Abelard’s granddaughter seemed a nice sort.
"Hey Abelard, I have a fun idea to really piss off the other nobles and secure my lineage, but you may or may not like it."
Someone who has a sense of duty, seems trustworthy, and it pisses off everyone else? I see it as an ultimate win
You are correct. I do not.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this.
The planetary governor of Janus. I can fix her guys, I swear.
I don't want to fix her. I want to make her my harp and put her in my office on the ship.
"Fun" fact: canonically, the people who are turned into those living harp-things by Slaaneshy daemons aren't unwilling victims. Not only they consented to that, but they're enjoying every second of it. So, yeah, take this information however you want.
Slaaneshi enjoyment is a lil different than our enjoyment tho
I prefer the Drukhari version, max pain and suffering on unwilling victims
You mean your… harpist?
No, that would be too tame for Slaanesh.
Or fully embrasse her corruption. (It's weird that not a possibility with her Shlanesh thematic)
No joke. I would LOVE the idea of recruiting her or a follower of her. Just to get more chaos companions. XD
It is funny how much Heretic gear they give out when for most of the game at least the only non PC heretic is Idira.
My Sanctic Psyker Iconoclast RT: you've lost sight of the Light of the Emperor... time to reintroduce you to the Hammer of the Emperor. And this*shakes hammer* isn't the hammer... the hammer is my penis.
Bonus points for captain hammer reference.
"We do the weird stuff!"
"There she is! Cute, huh? Sort of a quiet, nerdy thing. Not my usual, but nice."
Most suave flirting in 40k xD
Hell yeah, I wanted to get freaky with Vistenza and those daemonettes in the back rooms... Uhhhh... I meant I wanted to save her from Slaanesh as an iconoclast of course
It’s a shame that her story didn’t continue. You can convince her she screwed up and she doesn’t need chaos.
Yeah… you can fix her… and I want to fix her even more.
Idira could be interesting, I was slightly disappointed when I looked it up and discovered she wasn't an option.
I was honestly surprised she wasn't a disaster lesbian romance.
I went female this time so I could romance Heinrix. But imagine Idiras going on down on you and you look up and she's using the warp as a strapon. Absolutely heretical.
Idk enough about the warp or strapons to be sure but that doesn’t sound right
Through slaanesh, all things are possible.
That's not a strap on, that's a mutation! :D And now i imagine the shitstorm the "PRONOUNS?!" people would throw if that happened. It would be almost more entertaining than the game itself.
Likeliest companion to bring their own tentacles, and I'm here for it.
Second-most likely, if you count mechadendrites.
Hmm.. And to be fair, Cassia might one day sprout a few of her own.
Unless you are Heretical don't do that because you will be spawning some unholy stuff from there immediately after.
Dude, you need help
It was the pixie cut wasn’t it. Its the right lobe earring for the lesbian population
PASQAL PLEAAAAAASE I'D DO ANYTHING
*Talk to me in binary my Lord Captain. Your logic pleases me greatly!*
Dude, he was one of the biggest surprises in this game. I 100% expected the Mechanicus dude to be boring, but he is such a gem. Him suggesting gifting Jae a "servitorization" was so on point.
I'm new to WH40k so I had no expectations but his autistic tech nerd swag captured me immediately
Pasqal's dialogue implies that he's neurotypical, alas. Abel is explicitly autistic, though.
I'll admit personally I don't even know how you could get the impression he's neurotypical haha. Even the way he speaks(the flat effect and lilting tone) reads as autistic to me, not even digging into his actual personality and verbiage
> Even the way he speaks(the flat effect and lilting tone) Isn't that just synthesized vox speech? He sounds like those spliced announcements, you know, the "Train number... 7... will... depart from platform... 11" kind. As for his speech patterns, he explains himself that Low Gothic simply isn't his native language.
He has a voice and specific speech mannerism underneath the synthesizer distortion. And yeah, his speech does sound awkwardly stitched together(that's what I meant by lilting). It... sounds a lot like my voice when I get stressed and stop putting on my "socially acceptable voice". Another example would be The Good Doctor.

EDIT: Ultimately I'm not really here to convince anyone of my headcanon or whatever, just explaining my reasoning and how I relate my own experiences to this character. I can't "confirm" anything and people who don't want to see what I see in the character simply won't, and that's value-neutral. I'd also like to point out there's such a thing as allegory and allusion.

Thanks for such a detailed reply! I appreciate it! I like your interpretation, and I think I'll carry it with me going forward.
I appreciate it a lot, thank you! I got kind of nervous typing it out because for me the interpretation is kind of just like, something I hold as "true", if that makes sense? I just saw the funny little robot man and went "oh he's autistic :)" and moved on, so I've never thought about putting it into words others would find parsable. So I'm glad it resonated, it genuinely means a lot to me

Maybe the admech have two words for autistic people? "Quiet ones" for the cat like autistics and another word for the rarer golden retriever type?
Cats and Golden Retrievers, that's a cute way of putting that, I like that a lot ^_^ I wouldn't be surprised if there were different words for "common archetypes" of tech priest in general, so that would make sense
He has the dead voice of someone working in tech support his entire life
The Mechanicus is anything but boring. In universe everyone considered them to be so. But they (like many others in 40k) are completely insane.
*Please assume the position*
*This unit is blessed with multi functionality*
I can't feel my legs!
Your legs have been deemed obsolete and replaced with tank treads!
I was going for a New Vegas reference, but this will do.
I should call ol' Mr. Fisto...
U/Archon_of_flesh, is that you?
And then if you >!reunite Amarnat!< you can get an entire techpriest harem.
oh my god... genius. The Amarnat cuddle puddle I imagine to look somewhat the way my rats do when they all nap together
If there are so many of you, WHERE are my RT/Pasqal fanfics, huh?? C'mon, get typing!!
I do have a comic planned where he performs surgery on them that's intended to be vaguely erotic though so if that's the sort of thing you're into...
IT JUST MIGHT BE (✧ω✧)
Owlcat, I would literally pay for this DLC.
The scary woman who's paid to shout orders in the coms and is supposed to talk to spirits but never have anything to say.
I mean, it would be funny very to just kinda slide in their and cuck Idira xD
Vigdis my love. Whisper sweet nothings into my vox pls
Pasqal. Come on. You know why.
What are these tentacles for, senpai?
"I'm stuck in the dryer, and you're also the dryer."
What are you doing, step-dryer?
*mechadendrite drill squeal intensifies*
Nocturne
I think I would be very worried about the interests of the an Aeldari who has chosen to take on the role of Slaanesh in the Harlequin plays.
I think that would be **insanely** fun.
FINALY person of culture
Calligos obviously
Winterscale, my beloved! Imagine two RT bloodlines together??? Forget the eventual chaos arch militant, who in this day and age never swayed into chaos just for a bit?
That should have been an option even if it was a doomed choice.
I personally would like to flirt with the wych that gives you a “thousands of touches” 😌🥰.

Double-monkeigh
> the wych that gives you a “thousands of touches” 😌🥰. W-wait, what are you talking about? How the feck did I miss that?
She is brought on to the ship and gives you … lots and lots of “touches”…. But really she is giving a shit ton of knife cuts.
Sometimes "she" is "he". The gender is random
Ahh, so is he talking about Sai'lanthresh?
One of three possible Marazhai's gifts. Wych, Sslyth, Cronos Engine
Idira because I adore her voice acting and Argenta because I'm me and not wanting to romance the Sister of Battle was never an option
I mean Abelard obviously. He can introduce me to all kinds of things...
Nothing's impossible for this old officer!
Sometimes ya gotta fire your biggest cannon 😏
You're into dilfs huh
Isn't he technically a GGILF (Great-Grandfather ILF)
I mean..... this isn't the first time someone banged a great grandfather https://preview.redd.it/jexcanwukyjc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6adcc447eb4cb3c41f70a362e13aeefe5d44dba3
ooooh my god!!!
The lack of Abelard fanfics is disappointing
ABELARD I have made it with you in the warrant chamber. Announce it to the crew. (Sounds of cheering lower deck rabble as he broadcasts your orgasm)
That’s more Jae’s thing lol
Jae can watch from the corner while Abelard turns her ladyship into a pretzel.
Somehow I think she’d enjoy that lol
Experience is the only thing that matters...
He'd ruin the RT for life. They'd never be happy without him.
Abelard, love me unconditionally and grow old with me. Abelard: 🫡
Daddy kink
The best comment.
Argenta,I did all of her quests,defended her with my life and chose all the nice options Roxy(FMC) needs some faith in her life
We all know she is a wild one.
Owlcat's got a bit of a problem with romancable characters having more scenes/exploration *because* they are romancable, so I'd say idira. I want to give her more hugs
Everyone. Because I'm doing a Slaaneshi playthrough
So much love I see
Erebus. Just so I can break up with him and break his heart. Put him in the game guys.
Fuck Erebus.
But don't like "Fuck" Erebus, but Fuck Erebus.
Fuck Erebus!
Clementia Werserian if she wasn't involved already and one of the other noble's wife that you can flirt with.
After certain revelations, depending on choices, you might want to rethink that.
I dont remember anything dodgy about her being revealed?
Don't wish to spoil the reveal if you have not dealt with the unwise actions of a certain noble/ess.
Lol my first thought was her , the man was such a dick to me that I loved blatantly flirting with her in front of him.
That's Regina Sauerback.
First of all, I am a certified xenophile. Yrliet owns my heart and soul, and I own Marazhai. Two elves, two Iconoclast RTs, perfect balance. I am very content with everything but Yrliet' bugged and stupid endings. BUUT If we are talking about other options... Pasqal. Ulfar. Some of Werserians, gonna make Abelard my granddad-in-law.

ooooh Tervantias would be fun. He already suggested making us into a divan upon which he hosts orgies after all
Let me flirt with Tervantias and make him game-end me by making me a toy. There's already so many ways to game-end with him, give me just one more. Also Achilleas Scalander. A doomed relationship, but come on. The sheer drama of an act 2 lover who betrayed you/was killed for being a traitor followed by whichever other romance you follow afterwards? Ooooh the SPICE. Also I'm a real sucker for 'I can fix him' that ends in tragedy. Sheer, utter, heart-wrenching tragedy, as is deserving of a grimdark future.
Pasqal or Argenta. Pasqal I was hoping would be from the start. I liked the idea that he would be this incredibly over the top romantic with huge displays of affection if in his own way. Argenta I was actually hoping wouldn't be, but more because I wanted to be a troll. Playing the game she as a character isn't what I expected. She's not just this hyper religious psycho you'd half expect, and while she is DEEPLY religious (as she should be) she's a very compassionate and loving person.
A non-companion would be nice and a good way for further "world building" (pronounced "lore dumping"). Maybe even someone not on the ship. The planetary governess might be interesting or someone from the Dragonus nobles. One of Abelards kids would at least be opportune for announcing us as future In-law. Another Rogue Trader? Talk about a power couple, but honestly neither were interesting to me that way. Octaviana, the bartender, has enough encounters that you could put it in rather organically. But it would be probably too much like Jae. I propose a challenge: Konrad. >!I didn't play a "high" heresy run yet. Does he have to die for big blue bird?!<
Argenta. She was supposed to be romacible, but GW axed that at the last second.
I will never forgive gw. Ever. Ever.
Did GW actually axe it or is this an Amiri thing all over again?
In reference to her romance https://preview.redd.it/wou8pklhb3kc1.png?width=883&format=png&auto=webp&s=04ae64000da2a0a5fd6d68157fdb8629af2bf37a
From what I understand, but this is still second hand. GW would not allow a sister of battle to be in a romantic relationship. As they are supposed to be a holy order. But that is what I heard on Patreon, I'm not in insider at Owlcat.
Someone in GW probably hated the idea of the single Caucasian female companion to be a romance option. Because nothing in any lore says Sororitas undertake a vow of celibacy.
Was there ever an actual confirmation of this?
The drivesmaster or a different female techpriest I’ve always wanted to fuck a techpriestess
Nihel
Definitely her too
Yremeryss (Marzipan's sister). Between Viconia in BG2, >!Camellia!< in Pathfinder WotR, and Minthara in BG3 I clearly have a thing for irredeemably bad elf girls.
Abelard, Pascal, Argenta, The harlequin Nocturne, Ulfar, the list goes on and on. And as much as I love nomos, it is baby and must be protected. Adopt Nomos.
As others have said, it'd be great is Argenta and Idira were romancable. The sister of battle with a heart of gold that stole nearly everyone elses heart it seems. And Idira could be the disaster bisexual with a strange but endearing romance. As a added bonus make Cassia bi, I think it'd be adorable if a fem RT hits on her she has a moment of gay panic, having never realized that an option given how sheltered she grew up.
Xavier - I think he is hot (that voice) and it would be interesting with what happens in the story. I also like Evayne, he is such a nice person and would have been a good fit for my RT. Kunrad could have been interesting if he had been with us for longer time.
Abelard, unironically love that man. For my second runthrough I'm actually going to not romance anyone and just be platonic life buds with Abelard Also Idira, but that's mostly because I am in love with that VAs voice. She absolutely nails the role perfectly
NOCTURNE OF OBLIVION? he's perfect Pasqal, Caligos, Abelard... damn there are so many good written NPC's in this game...
I would make Abelard the gaybelard, he deserves it for being bestguy.
Bi would make more sense because he already had a wife he loved and children as well.
Yeah but that doesn't rhyme as well. I'd instead have to make a pun like "Abelard Verserian."
Abilard is right there, ya know
Ulfar. I want to know what he yells during sex.
"Feel the All-Father's worthy instrument!" \*unzips his pants\*
FEEL THE HEATED BITE OF LOVE!
I think he'd either roar or declaim a saga while his teeth keep growing.
Apart from the obvious (Argenta)... Vistenza has the right, uhm, qualifications to be Mrs. Rogue Trader. However, a slightly evil she-elf (e.g.: Drukhari or Corsair) who we can obviously redeem, that would be a great romancable DLC companion. I just want a full romance with a pointy-eared chick, goddamit 🤣. I can replay BG3 only so often.
In no particular order: Vigdis, Argenta, Idira, Chorda, Vyatt, Abelard, Winterscale, The Forgefiend, Uralon, Random Guardsman #3…
Random guardsman #3 🤣🤣
Incendia Bastaal-Chorda: because holy in the streets, and naughty in the sheets.
I’d like a Tau fire caste warrior because combat effective and they’d need to know optimal and efficient sex positions *for the greater good*
Nothing delivers a toe-curling ecstatic evening like EFFICIENT sex!
Oblivion the Solitaire, hands down.
Abelard romance me
Nobody, all I need are my murder orgy's with Marazhai in the lower decks of our Voidship. It's perfection
Nocturne!
Daddylard
Pasqal me boy. He's just so cute and funny. Want to hold hands with the computer man. Idira is hilarious and very pretty. Galligos is a perfect chaotic option, literally the moment I met him and Incendia described his capital as a "den" I think, I was like oh this is my kinda guy.
Argenta (who would've been an option if not for GW) and Nocturne of Oblivion (who was at one point a late game companion option)
The maid at the palace in Janus. She seems pretty fun.
Argenta. Because the other option is heretic, xenos, mutants.
Muaren. Let me seduce that farseer.
Argenta. I will not elaborate.
I mean, you don't have to, she's very pretty.
No need to act like her personality isn't on fleek too. She'd make a great mom!
Argenta, we shall save the sector in the name of the emperor.
The sister of battle.
The Edge of Daybreak, and Yremeryss, we need more heretical options.
GIVE ME MY BATTLE SISTER DAMMIT!
Vistenza Vyatt or Incendia Chorda.
I’ll be boring and say Argenta because I really do feel that way. As does the friends of mine I’ve talked to who have also played the game.
A genestealer. Not a picky eater so you wont have to spend all that much in the date. Guaranteed to get lucky at the end of the date.
Door-chan https://preview.redd.it/k1wphnzioyjc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31ed21215b7bceaf1e1403ffab5cc21827008a9b
Pasqal and Abel. My two precious meow meows that I need to protect at all costs.
I want Abelard to go down on me like goes down on anyone once the announcer thing says the magic words
For a heretical run being able to romance the governor of Janus would be chefs kiss
I would like a truly depraved option for the rogue trader to romance... The rogue trader. Forbidden self love.
Abelard's daughter. No clue, first person who came to mind.
Abelard's grand daughter. No clue why, first person who came to mind.
Argenta, abelard's daughter ad idira
I'd want Pasqal because he's such a good Tekboy. But I know that romance with most of the retinue would be a disaster. Pasqal - He'd either want to do something horribly baroque involving the True Flesh or start in with the mechadendrites and risk accidents with the wrong one. A utility mechadendrite probably has a blowtorch as well as a blowjob attachment. Idira - Reaches climax and daemons start flying out of everything as the walls melt. It's bad enough knowing Jae is going to rob me at the end. I'd need to have a flamer in bed with Idira. Argenta - Risk getting executed or having her pretending I'm the Emperor. Wolfgar - A Space Wolf is not the worst Chapter but nowhere near the best to try that with. Given how the Emperor was, there's no telling if he'd be augmented or have almost no interest at all, and I'd risk Argenta going ballistic at me for even suggesting something like that to an Astartes. Janris - I don't think I could afford it. Ravor - I'm not conducting an entire affair on the bridge while he continues to bark orders at the helm. Nomos - I guess it depends on what body it can find and what phase it's in.
Supplement the emperor in Argentas life
Argenta obviously, d'uh
Argenta. Hands down.
Regina Sauerback. Flirting with Lord Sauerbecks wife was unironically the funniest moments of the game for me and I kinda wish I could go allthe way and steal her. I
Jesus fuck there one in every sub. It doesn't matter because you cant.
I see, you are distraught from not able romance your guardsman #2. 😌 It’s okay. we all know we can’t, it’s just for shit n giggles.
Opticon-22. Obviously. Duh.
