      Exactly! Rogue Trader does a pretty good job at highlighting this, everyone’s just as suspicious of you when behaving altruistically as they would be if you were playing the Heretic. I honestly still can’t comprehend how people actually adhere to that monstrous mentality.

      I’d do it, too, but only if I could do it as a Child of Asuryan. Arrogance is immensely frustrating, but it’s better than straight up genocidal zealotry. And this way I could at least do the whole Outcast thing if they start getting on my nerves…
