That reminds me of a video a popular Guntuber did on urban survival and evasion a few months ago, talking about what to pack and have on hand and when to move and what to avoid and how not to get noticed, and not once did it occur to them that “maybe visually imposting hulking ex-military bearded tatt’d-up buff dudes, in cargo pants and hiking boots with heavy jackets, are possibly not as inconspicuous as we suspected”

yeah, imagine not adding Sly Marbo, but adding the Xur (exotic engram rotating boi from destiny 2)
Hope he spawns at Fatshark HQ
Honestly out of any setting 40k is probably the one where dressing like an absolute edgelord or being blatantly military will not be viewed as suspicious at all, I recall someone telling me about a book where space marines went undercover in a hive city and nobody batted an eye at the 12 foot tall genetically modified workers, the only thing notable about them was that they weren’t extremely ugly

“Whose that?”
“Must be a king.”
“How can you tell?”
“He hasn’t got S*** all over him.”

You’re just jealous of his swag. No biggie.

Perhaps so, but we still want writing that doesn’t make you eyeroll every 2 mins.
SWAG stands for Secretly We Are Gay.
It’s a Hollywood dog whistle

Clearly, we all hate him because he’s flirting with Best Waifu
No but seriously. He just…does nothing. Why does he exist?

I have no idea we have enough NPCs already, Hestia at least I like she has nice interactions with melk. but if I hear the exaggerated swagger of swagger saying “Dear Lady” to that toaster I’m dropping the mission.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one thought “Swagger? Really?!” at the NPCs introduction. I & ‘my’ Discord had a good laugh about it. Reminded us of LotRO and the Prancing Pony when there’d be people trying to be mysterious and edgy by having their cloaked and hooded characters stand around the walls of the pub emoting their mystery and dread auras at you.
I must admit I’ve not met Swagger yet, waiting on a friend to play the new mission together, but you’ve all underlined the dread I feel at the prospect. As if Hallowette wasn’t bad enough, we have an edgelord too? Woo.
I like Hestia, although her desire to touch my Veteran is creepy.

Brother, we had to deal with the same stuff on our server back when I played LotRO. Holy smoke, what a formative memory.

He’s not so much edgy as just…one-note. The worst is him being overly snarky about being mysterious and clapping back at people smugly.

Right? Swagger is absolutely somebody’s first DnD character.

so… we got Masozi 2.0
FS trying to convince us they’re very relevant in DT’s story but as for their character writing its just giving them credit for said credit
i mean yeah, he feels like that first DnD character but looking back at what we got he feels like a way to dillute the flow of charismatic characters we got since Orthus Offensive
(at least now we got a bottom tier character design to compare with new ones)
After reading the Eisienhorn omnibus…
Masozi is almost literally just Medea Betancore, the pilot for the latter parts of the Eisenhorn series. Same skin color, same general flippant demeanor, same job as ace pilot in the retinue, etc.
Zola is pretty close to Harlon Nayl in that she’s a very reliable member of the retinue and smarter than she initially seems.
Morrow is almost like Godwyn Fischig - hard-headed man of protocol and devotion.
