#what i'm trying to say is that Owlcat was incredibly based for letting me get a good ending in Rogue Trader

Thinking about that one post that was like "in a world with no consequences, why are you still playing the good guy?" "Because being mean makes me feel bad" and how it applies to Warhammer

Like yeah the whole point of 40k's universe is that everyone sucks and you get the catharsis of getting to be an asshole without actually being an asshole but also man there's some cool shit hidden behind the "but what if they were nice" wall

Imagine the Necron Phaeron that loves these funky little monkeys that have set up shop in her garden, of course she's going to protect them look at them they're adorable. The Sororitas order that helps everyone, including the mutant and the heretic, because everyone can find redemption in the Emperor's light. The chaos cult that worships the gods for justice, progress, rebirth, and joy. The Knight household that rides into battle alongside the uprisings and rebellions, because a noble's first duty is to their subjects, and those that abuse their power must be cast down

Like yeah it's fun to shout made-up slurs at the other guy but also I feel there's a lot of untapped potential in someone trying to be a good person in a world where that's borderline impossible
