Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[ferratilis]

Let me know when Owlcat wins GOTY

The only one that matters.

 

[Grunker]

Is it possible to use a sword/pistol combo to a good effect in this game? And if so, which class/talents would you recommend?

I don't know shit about this game but arch-militant should gain benefits each time they use different attack type

few things here:

then is it better than focusing on either melee/range stuff I would be skeptical

ooooh interedasting

 

[Shaja]

Just 1 week left.

Only watched the first 2 trailers.

Hope we can contribute to Commorragh by sending them some cattle. <3

Here are all homeworlds + origins so you don't need to use fshitlife which very likely has incorrect information as is tradition

I might upload all class abilities + talents later but takes quite a while + bounty hunter / basic / psyker talent info still missing

Melee autohits? Not sure what to think of it. I suppose it speeds up combat, but it also added an element of FUN when you fumbled your roll, you lost your weapon (or worse, you hit yourself), and then the enemy retaliates.

Melee autohits? Not sure what to think of it.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale had that and it was fine. The only exception was when afflicted with blind status that increased the chances of your character missing an attack (it wasn't guaranteed, something around 80% to-miss-chance, if I recall correctly). The main question was what kind of attack you wanted and how much damage you could deal (between the lowest and highest), which was enough to keep fights tactical despite lack of chance-to-hits attacks. Hell, you could even make an argument it MADE the combat MORE tactical.

With 100 int...

Good fucking luck on that. I recall they stayed pretty faithfully close to the levelling model of the TTRPG and there getting past 70 in a stat takes significant effort.

start int 30 + 10 point char creation + 5 noble + 5 voidworld
= 50

first archtype gets 5 stat boots which are 5 each = 25

finish officer (lvl 15) with 75 int

then there are buffs + equipment so early master tactician (with single buff?) might be able to have around 100 int (as said the fuck I know)

According to reddit in pre-release build it was impossible to level up the same stat more than twice per archetype.

While you don't roll for hit you still roll to overcome target's parry and target's dodge.

You don't need to switch between melee and ranged with that. Single shot - burst, burst - area shot, melee attack - melee aoe attack or any other combination works. And even if you switch between melee and ranged you can just switch between two two-handed weapons.

there seems to be some kind of limit but for example here willpower is picked 3 times
EDIT nvm 2 seems to be correct 1 of the WA's was a talent (wounds are no excuse)

also

not sure if this removes that limit think it should

yes I can read too, question was "Is it possible to use a sword/pistol combo to a good effect in this game" and that class came to mind

 

[Vasya]

Are you sure? Isn't it "Archetype advancement [Officer] +10" and "Archetype advancement [Strategist] +10"?

not sure if this removes that limit think it should

I assumed it means "allows upgrading int for archetypes that usually do not allow it", not that it removes limit.

 

[Jermu]

yeah I edited stat limit already 2 is most likely correct for attributes other than WS/BS

weapon/ballistic skill seems to have higher limit at least

 

[lightbane]

While you don't roll for hit you still roll to overcome target's parry and target's dodge.

Yeah, sure, but that removes the chance for the attacker to fumble the roll and hit himself. Or get a crit-success. Not sure how it works with counter-attack abilities (which exist in the pnp). Full Auto seems to be gone, and so is Suppressive Fire, which was VERY effective as it forced most normal enemies to take cover or suffer penalties (hitting something while spraying wildly was a bonus, which meant that characters with low Ballistic Skill could use S. Fire for good effect), unless it's been replaced by something else.
Also, automatically parrying/dodging ALL attacks in melee is a bit strange. A good strategy in the pnp for both your guys and the enemies was to gang up on enemies to consume their Reaction actions to parry/dodge, so they couldn't defend themselves from multiple attacks.

 

[Yoomazir]

Just fyi, achievements and the season pass have been leaked. It's a couple of expansions, first one is about expanding the activites and quests you have in your castle, I mean voidship, the other expansion is more story fluff. You also get a couple extra companions with them...
Please be excited.

This isn't 4chan already?

 

[Incendax]

Hello fellow crpg game devs, how is it going?

That's a suspicious amount of sausage lined up around that one poor woman.

 

[Jermu]

no achievement for hard-unfair, only core or higher difficulty is required
fuck achievements anyway

So they actually herd people SCREAMING that they don't want side stories.

2 expansions planned BEFORE the game is out. That's almost Paradox levels of greed.

I don't wanna be that guy but.. All Expansions and DLCs in 90% of games are generaly planned before the game is out. Especialy if you want them to be included in the main game seamless

 

[Infinitron]

Yep, it's completely standard practice. This leaked out early, but the Wrath of the Righteous season pass was officially announced over a month before the base game's release. (And the Pillars of Eternity games offered their expansions as crowdfunding rewards, though I guess that's a bit different.)

Breaking out this oldie. Just ignore the "day 1" stuff since it doesn't apply here.

Question, what wrong with moving on to other projects? Isn't that what we should want as consumers, devs working on new games rather than milking existing ones?

Depends on your interest level in the current thing.
