Please name ONE good role playing game where you do not work witgh several factions or where the individual player behavior does not have an impact on the world at large.

If I take Fallout New Vegas: I could side with either the Legion or the NCR as main Campaign (see your Imperium vs Chaos in w40k) I could then decide to solve conflicts in ways that influence my standing in certain settlements.. I could be hated in some and adored in others. I could do work for some factions and annihilate others...

I could be 1. an NCR liking dude, who helps out the brotherhood of steel, while being the best player in new vegas, hated by the Khans and working in tandem with a bunch of escaped convicts in the wastes, getting into trouble with a bunch of dudes that fly around in a b52 bomber... ^^

I would not need another account, I would simply get a reputation with different factions based on my player behavior.

Next Problem, if we talk about MMORPG: How will you get a number representative for the guard in relation to Sororitas or Space Marines.

We could Argue for a clan being a Company/Platoon (you would need a ton of npc's for the bigger numbers) and you would still have the problem that Guardsmen are cannon fodder, whoever you take. A regiment leader is still more expendable than a simple Space Marine Sergeant.

W40k offers few factions for Roleplay and character progression, you would also have to take into ac count the bonus/benefit system for chaos, maybe Dark Eldar and Nids (aka: we bring them all destruction/suffering and pain and: yay we wanna feast, not to forget orks... WAAAAGH! ^^)

Imo THQ did right with Space Marine and the tactics gamees of the DOW series, Fire Warrior was a nice shooter at it's time but a massive multiplayer online roleplaying game is imo simply not gonna bring out the best of the world.

you could rather take attermpt that sega and creative assembly attempt with total war warhammer fantasy

an Inquisition based Role playing game

or a good old strategy one with the basis of Star wars Empire at war (space battles+ ground engagements)  in a larger setting.

to suit w40k
