Between work and studying and life in general, it looks like I won't have any time left to complete this before my big trip, so I think I'll just post what I've got. This is pre-game, a few decades into becoming a spawn.
I've reached the True Love ending of Marazhai (which needs the help of toybox) and I enjoyed it VERY MUCH.
I'm really glad that Marazhai cannot be fixed. But what attract me most is that I found it could be a really intriguing experience to play my RT——an emotionally stable lunatic, a freewheeling monster and an unpredictable predator. For the way, well, the Drukhari way Marazhai expresses his feeling of intimacy is quite normal, which might means in the Drukhari standard he is a good boi...though my RT, choosing to stand with him, is quite abnormal not only from a human and Imperium point of view but even in the cruel world of WH40K. The word "evil." doesn't even reach the edge of her.
Every single second they spend on each other was a worse synchronization. Unexpectedly, despite the apparent dominance and submission and the blood river they caused, the two abominations actually treated the relationship in a very sincere way, and finally reached a two-way domestication, that gives the whole romance a very unconventional and amazing experience which makes me almost to stand up in front of my computer and bravo his author and VA.
After all these talks, the personal quest of Marazhai in Chapter 4 still can not be finished with a mess in his dom and sub data. When will you fix your bugs pls Owlcat?
Hiii,any chance you'll sketch Astarion again? How do you view Marazhai and Astarion? Many people mention theyshare some similarities. l'm keen to hear your perspective!
Those bois are both awesome, but I think they're in different leagues you know? For instance, Ascended Astarion doesn't have a safe word, whereas our Marazhai's safe word is "DIE!" Personally, I don't think any knife-ear can go toe-to-toe with a Drukhari, so I won't put them side by side. Come on, cut me some slack: this is just not fair.
You feel me? "It's not professional, and it's not ethical."
In all the PENAL WORLDS here stands Marazhai, the one who bring my painting passion back!! Now he is my favourite conpanion in CRPG history, BAR NONE!!
After I fighting with BUGS in chapter 4 for 40 hrs (and lost, sadly), for my mental health I decide not to continue playing and began painting. So I draw Marazhai and my RT.
Rejoyce 😏 sub!Marazhai in a romance is an actual possibility in Rogue Trader. And he's the most delightful thing ever 🖤
I was just playing chapter 4-5 (which were quite literally, littered with bugs). Yeah, for our Dumb Dumb Drukhari Boi, Dom is for work, SUB is for life. I had never seen anything so evil, cruel, perverted, vicious, obnoxious, stupid, bitchy yet lovable like him! Can't tell you how grateful I am for Olga to write three wonderful companions that had transcended convention: Tristian, Heinrix and MARAZHAI!!!
Unsurprisingly, 2024 will be wonderfully occupied by painting him and MY RT all year!
I've painted this piece for vv (with a reference photo), initially it was just a color practice, but it feels like this outfit was custom-made for her! She absolutely needs to rock this look!! I never expected it to match her so perfectly.
I'm just very curious about how Marazhai's romance storyline will develop. I even question whether it can be called a "romance storyline" because, as far as I know, the Drukhari culture lacks the concept of "love" entirely. In their culture, the closest thing to love is unconditional obedience to another. After all the Drukhari are a race known for sadomasochists and their engagement in violence and body modification which can be even more extreme than many demons!
So I really wanna know how could Marazhai's "romantic relationship" with us be portrayed beyond toying us to death(you know what I mean) or literally skinning us for consumption (already in relatively fortunate circumstances)?
Owlcat, I don't want to fix him at all(don't think he can be fixed either), I simply desire to deteriorate and become more wicked with him! Can't we just be partners in crime?And whether our main character is a dom or sub, or he's our main character's pet or reverses roles, I crave to burn together with him in hell!
So far I'm not quite keen to Warhammer 40K world so did not felt anything special from Rogue Trader- until now-By the Emperor! I can't believe my eyes to see how could a Drukhari be my companion, even a romance option -what a wonder!
Well done, Owlcat, well done. You are the most welcomed to present the ORIGINAL commorragh flavour, hold on, for it IS what I want.
