You sound like Trump going "you know a lot of people are saying".

Me not liking the game is all on me, because I skipped all the story, so I cared little after that. Combat was fine, but I don't remember much.

90h, finished Rogue Trader. Apparently my Iconoclast utopia was not acceptable, luckily Nomos saved me, apparently. Pretty sad ending to Yrilet romance but that was a good arc. Overall fun game, finally made Argenta into a killing machine, found some bolter with exploding shells. Works well until I ended up killing Abelard with it during the last fight, whoops. As most of my first playthroughs go, didn't unlock most stuff, the uber sniper rifle I had didn't get the 30% buff due to me being well short with my Iconoclast rating, shazbot. I should replay it, but that's going to be in a while. Fatigued mentally of thinking of all those fights to redo.

I didn't mind them too much until I tried reading the terrible, horrible novels. Before that, they simply had an elitist yet honourable air with their batchalls etc. Then you realise they send mechs against normal people for "training".

I'd be skeptical of anything reported in the Israeli press, based on something claimed by a TV company run by a prominent Phalangist family. Funny thing, Hezbollah people have this really weird tendency to talk to Israeli and non Shia Lebanese media and say exactly what said media wants them to say. It's almost like they aren't actually talking to real Hezbollah people... And for anyone wondering, yes, the Lebanese Phalange named themselves and modeled themselves after Franco's Spanish Falange, and are, literally literally, fascists who want to Make Lebanon Christian Again. Which is why they got on so well with Begin and Shamir's Israel. They were responsible- along with another former Israeli PM, Ariel Sharon, and the IDF- for the judicially proven to be genocidal Sabra and Shatila massacre, among many other atrocities. Far from alone in perpetuating atrocities of course, but theirs tended to be the largest and most memorable ones targeting civilians. Though as with their moral compatriots Al Qaeda in Syria they prefer to be known by a different name now, so as not to offend tender western sensibilities (--> 'Kataeb').
