A Possessed Chaos Space Marine replaces the protagonist in the last game you played

It's all about scope and scale. A Space Marine in the 40k universe is superhuman, certainly. They are stronger, faster, smarter and more resilient than a person in peak condition by an order of magnitude. A standard tactical trooper is as tough and capable of some armies elite heroes.BathorysGraveland2 said:
But, they also fight in wars against things like Tyranids which can strip the life from a heavily defended world in a matter of weeks or against immortal machines who's basic weapons can destroy the most powerful tanks in a single shot. Couple that with the fact that at any given time there are only a million or so space marines and they are tasked with the defense of a million worlds of the imperium and they seem less silly and out of place.
FarCry 3. Suddenly, my kill count of over a thousand pirates in less than two weeks on the island starts to seem a lot more reasonable.
Q - Purge the Weak - Slows and damages all enemies in a radius for 5 secondsCombustion Kevin said:
W - Blood Price - Toggle - Increases damage per attack by a percentage of target max life at a cost to users own life pool (also percentage)
E - Blood Lust - The character lunges a short distance (300 or so) towards the cursor. He gains additional attack speed for 3 seconds.
R - Ascend - The character becomes a champion of Khorne and is granted a power sword, increased movement and attack speed and resistances for 10 seconds. Attack range is reduced to melee (125 I'd say).
Considering I just played Star Wars: The Old Republic...not much. I mean, if I was doing Kaon Under Siege flashpoint, it would be "normal." Maybe a boss fight, but he would get cut down easily. Heck, even if it was part of the main game content, you're looking at that his head probably would be sliced in an elaborate cutscene.
Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, I remember using a mod to play Skyrim as a space marine and wow, taking down dragons with a pair of plasma pistols was awesome, I can only imagine how easy it would be to rip apart all the puny mortals of Cyrodil. With no armor and weapons he'd rip apart the blades in the first 2 minutes of the game, then rip and tear his way to a place where he could summon deamons and then the entire province burns before the first 2 hours are over.
Battlefield 3, puny tanks.
Also, I feel that it would make the campaign just that little bit more interesting.

Kerbal space program, I don't think he would fit in the capsule

I wonder how high a CSM can jump on the mun

Welcome to the setting of Warhammer 40000, where everything else is similarly over the top. =PBathorysGraveland2 said:
There is Over the top. Then there's Warhammer 40k.Cecilo said:
There ARE limits everywhere, otherwise every game would play as if you were on Godmode. A couple well aimed stabs at Geralt would kill him, but a grenade explosion to the faceplate would barely faze a Space Marine.
It's a matter of scale. Warhammer can be fun, but I admit that often it's just too much. That said...
OT: So, I just set loose a Chaos Space Marine in Ered Luin. Heh, just made monster play that much more interesting for everyone in LotR Online. =P
Seems to me that you need some perspective.BathorysGraveland2 said:
These guys are considered the average run of the mill basic troops in their universe.
It's not just one guy who has been turned up to 11....it's the whole galaxy.
An ordinary Chaos Marine IS a demonic supersoldier murder machine, but the things that are his enemies are nightmares incarnate.
The entire 40k universe is made of pure nightmare fuel...and comedy.
In short, Starcraft is a very bland rip-off of Warhammer 40,000.

For every corrupted traitor Chaos Space Marine there is a loyalist Imperial Space Marine fighting in the defense of the Imperium of Mankind.
For every Space Marine there are billions of basic Tyranid Gaunts that will descend upon your world. Even a basic Gaunt is the equivalent of a Xenomorph from Aliens.
For every Space Marine there are untold legions of undead robots from the dawn of time. Masters of time, space, and technology who make a mockery of Space Marines.
There's an entire hell dimension taking every opportunity to tear into the material universe and vomit forth legions of demons.
There are aliens with hyper-advanced anti-grav tanks, mechs, and massive super cannons.
There are ancient aliens with vast psychic powers that can read and influence the future, or summon huge storms of psychic lightning to tear apart your mind, body and soul. The souls of their dead are used to power and operate huge robot warriors.
For every Marine there is a crusading/marauding horde of psychopath Orks that can use actual manifestations of their crude faith to build incomprehensible uber warmachines out of scrap metal, and live for little more than the thrill of war itself.
Human soldiers only compete in this galaxy by shear weight of numbers. For every Space Marine that defends them, there are several billion humans.

I don't think gaunts are on par with Xenos. They might be as fast and as strong, but without the Hive Mind influencing them through a synapse creature they're completely mindless. The Xenomorphs wouldn't have been anywhere near as lethal if not for their cunning.Ieyke said:
Ah, the Tau. I wish there was as much written about them as there is about the Imperium. They're just so much more pleasant than anything else in the 40K universe.
dark souls
wow, that fits well, the ultimate goal for pretty much every is becoming a a demon prince and then figure out a way a become a god. Which is kinda sorta what happens can happen to you in dark souls. not much change, probably more of a strength focus character build with one of them giant hammers and pyro-things(don't possessed spit fire or something?)

Well The Roman Empire would be a lot larger... even larger than what I've made it in Rome Total War
Last game I played was Max Payne 3. So I guess more or less the same only with a higher body count (somehow) and much less cut scene incompetence
