mechanicus copypasta about harry's addiction
From the moment I understood the weakness of my addiction, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of sobriety. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Program. Your kind cling to your vices, as though it will not cause decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Program.
Agreed, I expect a rebalance mod at some point if owlcat actually has no better ideas than HP inflation. I really think they ran out of runway and had to release.
I don't think rebalancing can change much. If they made the random generic level 1 foes have their start-of-game HP by the end Argenta could finish every fight in one round. You'd need to totally alter all the encounters in the end game, to have you fight multiple chaos space marines or an actual army on your own.
Which would be what I would prefer, you're a rogue trader after all. You're supposed to be clearing out entire space hulks.
