Eternal Crusade without RP?! Uhm, i wont play it ;P.... If we can talk with each faction it would be easier to make some meetings for battles and then: no rules... just watch and look how the game guides you through by acting of each player himself... it means: no scripted roleplay...
I'm totaly with you on this bro, I hope the devs gets it right and from what I've seen so far from the people that is working on this, I'm sure they'll get it right, this game is gonna be an awesome game that most hardcore 40k fans is gonna love, if not all, the RP aspects of this game is gonna be amazing, I have so much faih in the devs from what they have showed us so far.
Not necessarily. A lot of the Pen and Paper stuff (Dark Heresy, Only War, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch and Black Crusade), while heavily combat focussed, is not *purely* based around combat. Given all the PnP stuff is pretty damn good, the devs could do far worse than to mimic them, with a solid core of PVP/PVE backed up with the ability to actually RP in the game.
