Conquest is fun tho and they have some nice natural resources. You could always install a puppet ruler if direct rule isn’t to your taste.

When you say “age of sail in space” and “rule of cool”, would starships in your setting resemble the vessels of Disney’s sci-fi take on Treasure Planet back in 2002?

That’s lovely Scoob, but the world doesn’t stop rotating no matter how much you focus on characters. And that is especially the case in a long standing series like Fallout with a lot of lore behind it. This is a fictional world with different morals, norms and history to our own. As the...

I understand the logic of it most certainly, but I believe in the long run this is a fad that will end in tears. A good name and a loyal customer base will provide reliable revenue that could keep you in business a hundred years from now, and that’s worth having.

Oh yeah that’s the big problem isn’t it? Microtransactions should only ever be optional and cheap, an extra bit of pocket money on the side, but that sounds like far too much of a good business practice for the modern gaming industry. Fucking parasites. They’re already drowning in cash as it is.

Micro transactions have always been easy to deal with. Just don’t buy. (Unless it’s like £0.99 for a skin you like, in which case knock yourself out)

Victory is sweet, but we must remain vigilant. That aside, some gormless exec is probably having to come up with the best explanation of their lives for their terrible decision making. The public backlash, the sheer lunacy of it all and impending legal issues were as like too much for them to...

I’m going to be honest, if they really wanted to go through with Shady Sands being destroyed and the NCR fracturing, then Caesar’s Legion should have been the main villainous faction of the TV Show. Despite the setback of Hoover Dam, with the NCR imploding the Legion should have been able to...

As I understand, when the series starts it has been quite a while since Shady Sands was destroyed, correct? Whereafter the NCR falls into ruin and has not been able to pull itself back together again by the time our heroes are waddling around in the wasteland. With that in mind, there’s an...

Probably something stupid to do with stocks as well. One day the business world will acknowledge the Quarterly Report for the False God that it is.

Whichever Exec made this call clearly “failed upwards” one too many times. This is going to cause legal issues.

In fairness to Arrowhead, I don’t think anyone could have expected that Sony would Galaxy Brain this hard.

Could be unpopular, and taking a risk, but were it down to me I think I might have entrusted Ollanius Pius to Sandy Mitchell.

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong. Bowden is the go to writer for Chaos (His Night Lords Omnibus was spectacular), although he could do loyalists quite well once (Hellsreach is so good). Just keep him away from the Emperor. But further to your point, yes you are right. The writers were not all sat...

Abnett is a talented writer, as evidenced by his Gaunt’s Ghosts novels, but he really seemed to lose his way with the Horus Heresy series. Could be worse though. Dembski-Bowden could have been given more Emperor centric books, when as I understand only Graham McNeil really seems to understand...

So I’m guessing a lot of you have seen that new service update regarding PSN accounts now being compulsory to play Helldivers 2? Madness. It’s utter madness. For the sake of artificially inflating the PSN account numbers to generate stock value (funny money over real revenue every time for...

All one or two Primarchs popping up can do is stabilise the situation really. Humanity would still be on the backfoot quite badly. Were it down to me, there'd by no Primaris Marines. There'd be Mark X armour and a whole load of other new toys for the Space Marines to play with, but they'd have...

Warhammer 40k does have that wonderful sense of “ancient” to it, and GW made the exact same mistake BioWare made with the Reapers regarding it. Some things really are better off left as mysteries, although a concrete fact hither and thither serves nicely to generate discussion and theory...

It would be fascinating to see how human culture develops on a new world. It’s one of the reasons I’m half convinced we’ll have multiple planetary nations in the future, because given long enough the “Martians”, filled with a frontier spirit, might wonder why distant Earth gets to tell them what to do...

Given that Chaos has already had a few Primarchs for a long while, I don’t mind the idea of loyalist Primarchs popping up, but it shouldn’t be too many (and perhaps not Bobby G straight away. Vulkan would have made a touch more sense at the time). And of course, even they wouldn’t have the full...
