WHY AM I SO BAD AT BEING MEAN IN THE BEING MEAN UNIVERSE :(
#oc: leda#tay plays rogue trade#my problem is that leda is 80% iconoclast 20% dogmatic#and her dogmatic views are all related to chaos worship/misappropriation of the warp#as a divine psyker herself she knows the cost of messing w the immaterium and its like. the one thing she will start screaming heresy over#BUT. as a psyker (who was caught by the inquisition significantly older than most psykers are) she does empathize#thats why she kept idira around to begin with. to give her the opportunity to control herself maybe w herself and heinrix as mentors#BUT LIKE. DAMN. U REALLY KILLED A WHOLE BUNCH OF MY CREW HUH....................#so now im like ok well. she COULD help idira she WANTS to help idira!!!! but it goes pretty clearly against her one red line lol#and she could just kick her out of the voidship but that seems even more cruel and also like. endangering other people#she wouldnt ask argenta to do it bc tbh argenta is too excited about it w peace and love <3 she would do it herself#BUT THEN VIGDIS..... VIGDIS IS GOING TO BE SOOOOO SAD.......#god. this sucks. the choices in this game rly are above and beyond lol#like this is agony SHES TRYING TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR HEINRIX SHE CANT KEEP EXECUTING HER COMPANIONS LIKE THIS.....#and performing exterminatus on entire planets!! tghis is so foul i just want to make out w heinrix i cant be doing this. IM SORRY VIGDIS...#she kills yrliet too after cammoragh :( hate my stupid baka LIFE.......................

Section needs a lot of work but I have the basic shape of it
#my music#warhammer 40k: rogue trader#heinrix x von valancius#I guess???? technically the same music plays for all of the love interests#but I don't feel like this arrangement really fits Marazhai#or Yrliet#or Jae#... ok it could work for Cassia I guess

So, regarding my other post for the dialog options of Heinrix when you escape Commorragh - I wanted to discuss them a bit in a separate post, meaning here.
From a reddit thread the "complaint" came up that Heinrix wasn't apologizing for his outburst and this made me curious to inspect the different options.
So to summarize - he does not apologize if there is no Marazhai but Yrliet, which I think makes sense. He is angry (might even snap at RT) but he sees himself in the right because he thinks Yrliet is lying (and RT believing it).
But - if Marazhai is present, he is about to attack Marazhai, even though he knows RT does not approve (especially if you had the ambush scene before).
He apologizes for this, not for being angry but for a short moment he was about to loose control and to attack Marazhai - at least unless you kill him (don't you dare! (kidding, play as you like but don't tell me, breaks my heart)) or these other options:
If not romanced, tell him now he has his proof
In this case the text even says he struggles to say something. Sure, yes, now he believes it to be true (= Achilleas was a traitor) but he is clearly emotionally affected by this while Marazhai is enjoying his pain and RT doesn't help either - not asking both to stop and to concentrate on the escape and also not taking his side. It is just as if RT doesn't really care that much about Heinrix's plight. It sounds a bit like "so now you hopefully finally believe it, I hope that is the end of the discussion".
I can still see someone taking this line in good faith (maybe expecting it to lead to another dialog option to smoothen things further) because Heinrix did not believe the truth before and could even kind of snap at RT for just asking why he doesn't even consider it could be true.
I think with this option RT is not showing the support Heinrix would wish for and is just not sure how to react - he now know what Marazhai did to Achilleas and he can't even react to this, can't wipe that smug smile from this Xenos's face as RT is clearly not interested in supporting him fighting Marazhai at this point.
2. Tell both Marazhai and Heinrix you leave with or without them
That clearly shows RT doesn't care if they live or die, just wants to escape. Why should he then care and apologize, especially if that situation is clearly difficult for him.
3. If romanced, if RT does nothing and Yrliet steps in
That is interesting. RT doing nothing could be seen as - having faith in Heinrix to do the right thing, for him to survive, to not care about who lives or dies or to be too dumb struck/frozen to react.
This is what Yrliet says before:
After which Heinrix looks at RT in shock.
He does not look at Yrliet (but answers her). At this point if romanced it is likely that RT and Heinrix shared an intimate moment or spend the night together. I wouldn't expect him to be shocked that all others now learned about RT and him - when they were clearly making out in the open - uncomfortable sure, but no reason to look shocked.
I would be possible that he is shocked this insight and wisdom comes from a xenos - and not anyone, but especially Yrliet, who he attacks verbally even more than Marazhai (at least when you look at the banter here during the escape, he doesn't start it if you only have Marazhai, or look at the trial in act 4...).
Her presence is enough to make him stop in the black ship when he is about to open up to a RT - he clearly doesn't want to appear weak or give a xenos any insight into him - and here Yrliet is, telling him exactly how he feels about RT (not sure why he would think that is still a secret).
But he looks shocked at RT - not Yrliet. So I think it is even more - he looks at RT because he loves her and Yrliet is right - he was about to put his anger, his revenge over the survival of the woman he loves, the woman he had just told a night or so ago he would lay down his life to protect her. I think that shocked him, that he was close to loose his control, close to go against what he told her, just to get his revenge, ignoring everything else. And of course, having a xenos pointing this out is just the cherry on top of it.
Although - I must say, I like that Heinrix does admit to Yrliet that she is right for once. And that in this situation with him clearly at his limit.
So why does he not look shocked if RT goes between them?
I think that happens quite fast. If Yrliet steps in then because RT did not and took too long to react. So he is then even a step further, closer to lose his control and attack Marazhai. If RT steps in, he might just have snapped out of his anger and saw that RT is right and immediately apologizes because he know it was wrong and RT showed him it was.
I think with Yrliet the shock comes from realizing how close he was (one step further than with RT in the other scenario) and having his greatest fear (losing the woman he loves because of his actions - think about it- he would sacrifice himself for RT but to think he could be responsible for her death is worse) come to his realization.
If RT steps in I don't think he has time to think about this really. He just snaps out of it, apologizes and proceeds. But Yrliet snapping him out of it gives him pause, he thinks about what happened.
Why does he not apologize in this scenario where Yrliet interferes?
I think he is still in shock and doesn't really think about it. He knows it was wrong what he did but he is to emotionally shaken to do it in this moment.
So finally - he does apologize if RT tells Marazhai or both to stop or if RT kills Marazhai, basically all the options where you can support Heinrix directly, showing him you care about him and/or his feelings.
But I don't think it is just that he sees RT cares - but the support has given him enough stability to apologize, while in the other scenarios he might not care (RT is not on his side) and if romanced and not interfering he is not emotionally stable - he is still in shock.
Sorry, that got long, anyway - let me know what you think!

@pjenn on here posted some of these for the bottomless pit side quest in the speculo system and i had to go back and check the other companions for myself.
slight spoilers maybe?
I find it interesting to note that we seem to have both a young and an old eldar, as Yrliet is described as being ancient, while Marazhai is described as a broken youth with empty eyes. I don't know why I thought he was similar in age to Yrliet but obviously Abelard was right on the money with his 'young man' comment lol.
feeble minded one is also in reference to Jae (which kinda threw me, I had to double check), the sinewy young man with a blindfold is Heinrix (my true love).
I bought the game for Marazhai but Heinrix came in with a steel chair to my heart and I am nothing if not a loyal bitch, sorry Marazhai, I know you were mad at me for choosing Heinrix over you, Jae and Yrliet). Honestly I didn't know I was romancing Yrliet, I just thought we were good friends and Jae was an oopsy at her party. Il get to Marazhai hopefully when the bugs are fixed for his route.
Idira is the shadowy creature, Pasqal the mutant, Cassia is the baby crying and Argenta is the woman with blood on her hands. Also not included here is Ulfar being described as a cold hungry beast (or close to that), which doesn't really surprise me.

Finally finished Rogue Trader Warhammer 40k. It was my first time really getting familiar with the 40k universe, i stayed away because all i ever heard from the fandom were fascists jokes. My general conclusion is that the game is really good and does a good job of introducing you to a 40k lore
Warning the game is still buggy as hell. My main romance was on the edge of failing the entire time WITH the toybox help.
I love that you can play as "good" character and still get shitty endings for some stuff. Hell yeah warhammer is dark and twisted place. Yes, you made it a little better but you're not a supreme savior.
Also, being a goody hero WHILE romancing the evil dark kitten? My Rogue Trader is such a hypocrite i love it.
Adopted an ancient god as my child. I love my child very much
Love how Rogue Trader was the sole reason companions behaved themselves. Once the story done? Free fucking game. Pasqal, i love you but what the fuck. Marazhai, i'm not surprised just dissapointed.
Companions? 10/10 I love them all, no one pissed me off. Cassia, Yrliet and Marazhai are my favorites
Nocturne of Oblivion, my dms are open. Gaping even
Warhammer 40k has canon furries. I repeat CANON FURRIES and they are awesome
Got my eyes sewn shut by my hot cultist wife on our 3rd date. 10/10
Said wife then dumped me in the credits because i fucked an elven twink fucked up her quest
Ate a human brain to impress a +6'0ft tall goth elven twink who survives on pain and suffering of others (this is canon btw. Dude need no burger only torture)
Somehow got submissive dialogs half the time despite stepping on this bitch daily. Also, no brand acknowlegement during Marazhai's final quest. Like, at all. Weird
Abelard, introduce me
Will play again. I hope they'll patch it up some more tho

okay RT act 3 spoilers + thoughts
I'm hating Commorragh. LOVE the concept but the map and journal is really confusing.
I'm playing an imperial world officer, who is a grand strategist; so i basically had to take Yrliet back because I was getting killed non-stop and failing tons of skill checks. Support class woes 😭😭
I slept with Heinrix, which I thought was a really nice "we will probably die tomorrow" passionate moment but I didn't like how my character propositioned him. Or am I dumb and he initiates in the other option?? I honestly don't think they were that out in the open and can snuggle up in a bed roll. This is a scene I think I would like to explore more in fic
But right after the deed, I talked to Heinrix who yelled at me for keeping Yrliet alive 😭😭 That sucked.

rt companion endgame spoilers
i'll be real it makes a lot of sense that pasqal kills yrliet soon after the retinue is disbanded. also makes me a bit insane that he kills her without going to commorragh himself. he really said maybe you won't avenge yourself but i will *grabs the steering wheel and runs over the aeldari's ship*
jae and kibellah never getting each other also makes a lot of sense. we love bisexual women who hate each other and always think about each other and never kill each other. why is she your archnemesis. are you arching your back for her. i have no bias you do.
marazhai getting astarta bc abelard [incoherent reasoning].
hm.
hm.
hm.
hm.
hm.

actually that was bad. that was really bad. leave that girl alone and harass heinrix's retinue or something.

i finished act 3 last night and phhhwoah. oh my god. oh my god.
but first, thoughts about the end of act 2.
finally met lord inquisitor xavier calcazar.
being questioned by him was legit a terrifying experience. the most nervous i'd ever been playing a game. stop asking me questions, man. in fact, leave me alone.
(which is what the inquisition should feel like. sometimes i think it's hard to get across just how terrifying the inquisition is and this game does a really good job at that. heinrix's presence is already unsettling, but you can still influence him and even he is subject to being surveilled by his boss. me, my retinue, and everyone on my ship is being watched by the lord inquisitor.)
i don't trust this fool. not one bit.
act 3 happened so fast, i completed it in around two days and i don't think i'm ever getting over just how good/horrifying this experience was.
I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE ENTIRETY OF ACT 3 TAKES PLACE IN COMMORAGH.
aesthetically, commoragh was made especially for me in a government lab.
the team i took: kibella, yrliet, abelard, pasqal, and argenta.
getting worm shoved into in my brain that made me violently sick and hallucinate being on trial by the inquisition? owlcat have you been looking into my brain?
there really was a point where the moment i was alone, without weapons, without armor, sick as all hell, i was like "oh my god i'm never getting out here. i and my retinue really are going to die here."
i was literally so close to actually crying listening to kibella in the anatomical opera and then talking to her again when we were safe in the shrieker's pit. my love was so traumatized and there was nothing i could do. last time i felt this helpless and distraught was during priority: thessia in me3.
(hearing her stumble over her prayers really made me put down my controller and put my head in my hands.)
however, i did chose the taint/distortion option when talking to her. i really want that heretic romance ending for her. please, she is the love of my life, i need her at my side forever.
tervanitas as also made for me in a government lab. traps him under a highball glass and studies him.
this was probably the most heretical i've been all game. i did the quest where you side with the chaos gods to sabotage commoragh. (which, the cutscene where you unleash chaos into the arena and throughout commoragh was so satisfying. every daemon from every one of the ruinous powers just floods the screen.)
which, i also summoned again to vaporize tervanitas and the haemonucli as a sacrifice. sorry, man. i still think you're neat and will find some use for you.
i recruited marazhai. i'm afraid he is growing on me.
especially since our first real interaction you can grab him by the throat and remind him of his place and he enjoys every second it. maybe i will enjoy having him in my retinue.
both argenta's reveal about theodora and achilleas's off-screen fate were. hm. i'll have to think about some more, but i don't necessarily like the writing for these two instances.
i'm glad ulfar and i also do not trust the lord inquisitor. (also, very cool to actually see a wh40k property do something interesting with omophagea.)
i know it's technically more lore accurate to not forgive yrliet because the majority of humans in wh40k have been indoctrinated into the imperial cult and thus believe that all xenos are bad. but i have mass effect brain and am trying to see things from yrliet's perspective. in the end, i forgave yrliet because her desperation to find out what happened to crudarach was also used against her. (also the reveal of crudarach's fate? insanely fucked up and horrifying. it only made me want to help her more.)
also, love that we got an actual harlequin and that they talk in poetry/riddles. oh nocturne of oblivion we’re really in it now. and thanks for helping me escape.
and then i started act 4 but stopped just after everyone talked to me.
my love kibellah is so strong for enduring commoragh with me, i immediately kissed her when we got back.
also, did not expect jae actually being a former guardsman. genuinely surprised to get some guardsman lore. (i really appreciate this game's take on the imperium, i think having it set on the fringes of the imperium allows for it to explore all these topics and issues.)
#local xenomorph is typing#oldxenomorph plays rogue trader#got dragged through hell and back in act 3 oh my god#hoping to try and get as much done today and the weekend before class starts again#but right now it’s nap time 😴

Playing Heretical was great fun but I understand now why I struggled with it at the same time. From what I've come to understand, the nature of a Heretical person in the context of this universe -- or, at least, the one you're being made to play in Rogue Trader -- is casual cruelty. The heretic cares nothing for the Imperium, naturally, but it also cares nothing for the people that make up (or are subjugated by) the Imperium, nothing for the many worlds and the life on those many worlds, nothing for anything but fleeting amusements. The heretic lacks interiority; they are all base instinct and puerile emotionality. They are an emptiness that Chaos is more than happy to fill, but Chaos expressed through the limits of an emotionally-stunted human loses a lot of depth.
(And, again, I think this may just be a limitation of Rogue Trader specifically. The Dogmatic player character is also represented this way; Heretical and Dogmatic have hilariously similar dialogue options and reactions to me, which may or may not be a commentary on fanaticism. It is probably true that Owlcat just loves Iconoclast best, and has, possibly intentionally, flanderised the other two alignments in service of that love.)
To live in Ana-Dimitri's skin, I had to exist at a remove from this universe. I could not afford to form attachments, to be invested, because at any moment I may be faced with a Heretical choice like "casually blow up this planet" or "casually make an absolute ruin of this person's life". However… this is not what it's like to live in Ana-Dimitri's skin, and it was very disorienting to play sometimes as a result. Some things did align, of course: the slow corruption of companions like Idira, for example, and also the casual presentation of oneself as a god (subjugating Vladaym was a high point, absolutely loved that dialogue). But ingame!Ana-Dimitri is a puppet, in service to Powers that are called Ruinous for a reason. Real!Ana-Dimitri is no one's puppet -- not the Imperium's, not the Chaos gods'. She is her own thing, and her own thing is being ruled by her passions -- not her base instincts or petty fleeting moods, but a deep and insatiable hunger. For sensation, for adoration, for freedom, for love.
You don't get adoration, or freedom, or love from blowing things up or killing indiscriminately. Mercy is a valuable tool here. Tyranny does not interest her, because who loves a tyrant? Isn't it so much more gratifying to watch the masses drop to their knees and accept your corruption with adoring eyes and open mouths?
I digress, though -- not only did playing Ana-Dimitri's savefile mean I had to actually play as someone less interesting than Ana-Dimitri, but it also meant that I had to temper my own passions. I couldn't be interested in Yrliet, because Yrliet will be leaving my party shortly due to my 400+ Heretical points. The horror of Commorragh was nothing to me, emotionally, and therefore Commorragh was less interesting. I didn't know a single thing about like 5 of my companions because I didn't take them anywhere because either 1) they would just yell at me for everything I did and I got sick of suffering their judgement or 2) I didn't want them to become sudden casualties in some Heretical gambit. I had to play my natural passionate curiosity as a distant, scheming curiosity instead. Intriguing conversations would be cut short because I'd have to say or do some cartoonishly evil shit. In the end, I feel like I missed a full third of the game because a lot of paths become unavailable to you when you're, well, being cartoonishly evil.
Playing Noah's savefile is like really coming home to the universe. Living in Noah's skin has always been incredibly easy, because games tend to like and reward characters like Noah. I am experiencing so many new and interesting things -- small things, like learning Foulstone becomes a Colony when you don't just blow the place up or whatever, and big things, like finally getting to do Argenta's personal quest and Yrliet's romance. I get to feel the horrors of Commorragh now, really immerse myself in the sheer awfulness! It's delightful (<- things only a true lover of sensation and emotion would say)! And the irony is… Noah and Ana-Dimitri are made from the same blueprint, sired by the same entity. They're the same. They just took different roads to fulfilling their deepest hunger. Ana-Dimitri is like her dread father, and chooses corruption. Noah is like his human mother, and chooses compassion. But what drives them is exactly the same: to feel deeply, to be loved, to be unfettered by anyone's dogma. To love as they will, and reap the rewards.
#rogue trader#in case it's not clear: this isn't an indictment of the game's heretical path at all. i enjoyed it a lot!#it's an examination of my own approach and feelings and how playing the game's heretical path made those clear to me#i doubt i will enjoy the dogmatic path at all but you best believe i will be playing it eventually. bc this game has a chokehold on me.#anyway. kind of weird that ny'arlat makes such passionate children. does that say something about him#i think it says more about me than anything else but that means i have to examine why i route all of this through ny'arlat :V

I always like to make a point to ask OC questions, especially asking oc questions from the moots that ask me ones!
I dont remember if I had already asked, or if you even posted the Rook Questionnaire (classes just started and im running on E from bad sleep forgive me T.T)
BUT
Rook questions!!!!
2, 12, 17!
Also 30 cause i think thats my favorite question! (no obligation to do all of them if its too many!)
Thank you for the ask!
I didn't actually reblog this particular Rook meme, but I'll be happy to answer the questions anyway!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bf38a08e1804f43daaec9b453e8bb650/ac0149a176ba5d74-62/s540x810/0f30af68a782354cd0650709132895cf8b781411.jpg)
2: What is your character's alignment?
Nerio would probably fall closer to the chaotic good bracket than neutral good. Either way, they're definitely not lawful good, their childhood and their time with Lords of Fortune taught them the perils of following strict and stuffy laws/traditions. Nerio has plenty of selfish and vain moments that push them closer to the chaotic side than pure neutral good. But no matter what, they do try to make things better around them whenever they can.
12: What is their orientation?
Nerio is nonbinary, bisexual and polyamorous, with a preference leaning toward masculine partners. That's not to say their preference is so strong that they are SUPER picky with feminine partners, but they've definitely slept with more men than women. Neve swept Nerio off their feet almost immediately, and they are so lucky that they can share their heart with her and Lucanis.
17: Do they enjoy life as an adventurer?
They do! Before Varric hired them for the big adventure against Solas, Nerio had spent several years with the Lords of Fortune. A life of high adventure on the sea gave them the freedom they sorely needed after escaping their childhood home. Not only did they have a great time adventuring with the Lords, it gave them the freedom to express themselves exactly how they want to be. Varric's group, and later the veilguard crew, only cemented that support and freedom.
30: What's your favorite thing about your Rook?
I answered a similar question yesterday, so here's that answer:
First, we can't ignore the fact that they were entirely created to romance Neve. I fell for her the moment I saw the first Veilguard trailer. And I quickly realized that if I made a tall redhead elf, I could recreate many of the same dynamics I was already obsessed with in Rogue Trader with my oc and Yrliet.
Nerio is a ray of awkward sunshine, a refreshing change of pace from many of my other ocs who tend to be more serious and introspective.
This is only the second OC of mine who is in a poly relationship, and it's fun to imagine all of the possibilities for that. Especially smutty possibilities.
They're also my second OC to fall under the trans umbrella. And my first nonbinary character.
I love elves. And characters with red hair. Elves with red hair just hit me deep.
Rogue gameplay in Veilguard is also really fun, and I can't imagine Nerio as any other class.
I also think I made them really hot. So it's nice to look at them.

🩷🖤🩶 for blorbo of your choice? 👀
From this ask game. I'll actually be nice and answer for Heinrix on this one. Prepare for a long one on the first answer, lol.
🩷 Why are they your favorite?
Heinrix is unironically one of my favorite companions in Rogue Trader. Because he's terrible. But he doesn't want to be. But he's also too much of a dogmatic Company Man to really understand how awful he is/can be. He's a walking HR violation anytime a Xenos is within three star systems. He's the loneliest motherfucker on this ship. I will divorce this clown in every lifetime, that is how much I love him.
First of all, his internalized everything makes him just, so crunchy. Like, he came from some of the highest nobility in the Imperium (Tech Edition) to rock bottom, to two shakes from regaining his "place" per se (Space CIA Edition). And some part of him knows that Calcazar is the only person keeping him between here, as a "somebody" and the abyss of being just another tool-psyker. And the way his journey to discovering the Truth is also the process of systemically dismantling his own sense of importance as part of Calcazar's inner circle.... Like yeah, he was the potential successor, didn't make him less of a disposable pawn as the rest of them! So what was it all for?
And I think too how his hidden Iconoclast core shakes out is also really interesting because "Iconoclast" doesn't 1:1 mean "good person". Like he can and does show leniency in his Dogmatism with people of similar rank/protection as him (the RT, Jae) or people he can personally sympathize with (Idira, even tho it's insulting). And his romance is genuinely sweet, if bumpy. But at the same time he has a lot of anger in his heart and that gets expressed in ways that show some incredibly unnecessary cruelty to people he thinks are lesser (Vhaebos Prisoners, Yrliet, that one random guard). And he does not acknowledge that!!! Because he's a Space Racism Cop doing his job, which gives him a "get out of examining my issues free" card and Throne take him, he's gonna use it.
And on that latter bit, the other thing I really really love about Heinrix is how much a demonstrates how much the Inquisition really doesn't work as an institution? He's an acolyte of the Ordo Xenos, and his Xenos Lore is shit, which you'd think wouldn't be the case but, look at how he interacts with nominally friendly xenos like Yrliet. You go to Commorragh and he's like "idk...we gotta maybe use their politics against them" and then kicks up a holy fuss when you do that. He approves of busting Tervantias in that gate and later feeding Marazhai (your ally) to the daemon. Like okay, the Xenos are vanquished, Heinrix is the best boy. Don't worry about the multiple 5 star meals Slaanesh is eating because of it...that's not his department anyways. (Ordo Malleus Hates Him!)
He's just a special boy to me lol.
🖤 If they weren't from their source, what fandom universe do you think they would make the most sense in?
Heinrix could very much be A Guy in Dragon age. And I don't mean in the "he's like Cullen!" way, because he's not, at all, but in the sense that he would very much be a loyalist circle mage who's very invested in the Institution of the Chantry while still being tempted to break a few rules here or there (just him tho) y'know?
🩶 Alternatively, what fandom universe would they just perish in?
Saint's Row (or GTA, but I don't play those games). He's a cop at heart, the stress would wear him down even if he won't snitch immediately.
#doing my penance time for every time i talk shit about Mr. van Calox lol#arendaes#asks#thank you!!!#long post#sorry

Which retinue do you take with you for Act 3? Do you prefer Heinrixs commoragh romance or post commoragh?
Hi, thank you so much for your question 💜
I usually have the companions I like most with me on missions, so until now Heinrix has been with my RT to Commorragh, along with Cassia, Abelard and Idira.
But especially Commorragh is always a bit challenging on who to take with me because I do want to hear Argenta's confession and she is also tied to saving the sergeant (if you play iconoclast) and connects to Idira if you have both together on their missions and there... and it is hard for me to leave Cassia back, in addition to this meaning I would get Heinrix later... and of course like with Kibellah, I want to see the content of the new companion(s) in the game, so when the next DLC drops I will take the new companion with me as well. So I do change the composition for Commorragh.
Regarding Heinrix - actually I love both. I played a bit more dogmatic first and did not have Yrliet and then it is nearly harmonic (despite all the torture and horror) - yes you have the drama with Heinrix rescue etc. but nothing of the heartbreak and drama that you can get with Yrliet and Marazhai with you in Commorragh and at the start of act 4.
And that is quite interesting for the romance with Heinrix and also one of the reasons I started to write fanfiction, because I did not really like the jumps there in the interaction with Heinrix - going from romance in the pit to the trial on the ship and then like nothing happened right back to romance.
But I do love his non Commorragh romance scene (I played it by reloading an earlier safe to go through Commorragh again to see it rather than starting a new run because I was impatient). To see how affected he is just by loosing RT and how he is struggling, still fighting his desires until he finally gives in and kisses RT. I love it. And it spares Commorragh for him, which I also feel better about.
But for my canon run I do have him with Venria in Commorragh - he is Ordo Xenos, while it is not in game I can totally see him requesting to come along because he does not trust Yrliet and thinks something might happen and him being there could prevent that. Venria is not sure about taking him along because she does not think Yrliet would betray them - why now? When they have been helping her? But there were strange reactions from Yrliet and while she is a bit concerned about how Heinrix might react, she does want to trust him and to be prepared for anything - she even takes soldiers with her (staying a bit behind), but it doesn't help. And as I said before - oh the drama with Yrliet/Marazhai.
In my current run (if I come to play it because I am currently super busy) I play more dogmatic again and there I will keep him on the ship - if there is not the Yrliet drama I actually prefer the non Commorragh romance scene.

Yrliet lets out a soft, exasperated sigh. “We Children of Asuryan do have rituals that serve a similar purpose to human marriage. But they are far more binding than a few cheap words shared over a cold stone altar.” Tiffney, who has remained suspiciously quiet the entire time, perks up. “Really?” Yrliet looks down, her hands still gently cupped around Tiffney’s head, and she notices that her elantach is blushing. “What are they like?” For a time, Yrliet goes quiet. What are they like? How can she possibly recount it in human words? Like… a million starbursts of joy, singing through countless lengths of wraithbone. Like the penultimate greeting of two immortal souls completed only with the presence of the other. Like the acceptance of transient happiness before the eventual inevitability. Because Aeldari live for a long, long time, and the Paths they take will bring them ever-further. Humans consider divorce a tragedy, or a series of poor decisions that have led to a poor outcome. But to an Aeldari, such tragedy is stitched into the fabric of their existence. Even the Dance Without End is enmeshed with the end of the Aeldari Empire, like a little spark of irony in the ten millenniums of despair that has followed. Without question, the dance of two souls will eventually leave divergent tracks in the fresh snow. It is only the penultimate greeting because the final bow will come when the curtain on the stage shutter to a close, and the miraculous play that was once all-consuming will, too, become a mere memory. All love between Aeldari will be consigned to nothing but a footnote in the pages of one’s history. But it is beautiful, Yrliet thinks. It is beautiful. “I... you will have to give me some time to find the words, elantach. Such things are not easy to describe in your tongue,” Yrliet answers, painfully honest. Tiffney snorts. “Cop-out.”
