Brother Rathul Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 This might have been posted already but an idea came into my head. With the end of DoW II Retribution, Angelos is chapter master and everything is fixed and back to normal with the Blood Ravens right? So my question is, if they make a new expansion pack or in DoW III, are they going to stick with the Blood Ravens or are they going to do a new chapter? If they stick with the Blood Ravens, I think it's going to be beating a dead horse with the story line and that it'd be wise to change the chapter of Space Marines to something fresh, but that's my opinion. What are some of your guys's thoughts? Brother Rathul Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232616-space-marines-in-dow-iiiii/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen_2 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I personally would like to keep the Blood Ravens since they are the Dawn of War poster child (except Winter Assault but who the hell likes that one IMO). If there was corruption in their ranks then yes the story gets boring but otherwise I wouldn't think so. That's like saying you watch a bunch of Black Templar battles and then say, "Why don't the Raven Guard do something." They are all doing their thing wherever they are so Relic chooses their custom chapter and works with that.

Chengar Qordath Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I would have to agree they're likely to stick with the Blood Ravens; working with one of the canon chapters is a lot more likely to result in huge amounts of fan-rage when Relic gets some parts of the background wrong. Plus, since the Blood Ravens are Relic's creation, they have a lot more flexibility with what they can do to the Ravens; doing a "Chapter Master falls to Chaos" storyline with any canon chapter would be impossible.

EvilToast Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 There is a LOT that can be done with the blood ravens as most ((If not all)) of there past is well GONE and they look to find it so there are lots of ways relic could expand to story.

The question is WILL they expand the story or are they going to do a Horus Heresy (Black Library series) thing and milk the cow for more money? I guess they could stick to the Blood Ravens or make a new chapter of Space Marines to deal with/expand on one that exists with little background. I mean, think of it this way, they beat their arch nemesis (That Black Legion dude) AGAIN and uncorrupted their chapter/purged the sector of xeno/chaos filth. They could set up a game where the Blood Ravens assist other chapters in bigger engagements like Armageddon or the Eye of Terror with guest characters and such wich wouldn't ruin the fluff really???

crandall87 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The story doesn't have to develop the Blood Ravens further. They could just be part of a bigger campaign or battle as Rathul said which wont ruin their fluff.

Rafen_2 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The next game could just be them recovering from DoW II and continuing on from there. If you remember the first game ever they had a simple battle situation and they did what they had to do and left. They could always do that again.

This is correct but how would the campaign keep the gamer's attention? We've seen this already by the Crimson Fists being destroyed and in the process of rebuilt as well as many other chapters having to do the same. They would need something fresh and new but what? In the next games we can undoubtably see more races being introduced like the previous DoW expansions like maybe Tau or Necrons but how would they be incorporated into the stroyline??

Now I see what your getting at. I actually started another topic about DoW III and what I would like to see in the game. So if you check that out you can see what I want as far as story and campaign.
