Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - turn-based Warhammer 40k RPG from Owlcat Games - now with Void Shadows DLC

[ga♥]

Midpoint is not average, open a dictionary.

You really are retarded: in the case of 0 to 10 the midpoint and the average are the same. Trying using less semantics and more brain, if you have any.

Let me help you.

So again, you claim it is below the typical, and again I will ask you who did better in the last 5 years and you won't have an answer.

Uh-huh:

Adjective. below average (comparative more below average, superlative most below average) Worse or lower than average.

If the average is 5 (as proved in my previous post), then below average is anything between 4 and 0. I don't need to give examples of other games to state that I rate Rogue Trader's story between 5 and lower (5 is at best), because the story itself is not good (good is above average).

You make zero sense, I feel sorry for you as you are probably disabled. So no reason to carry this on.
Also, the mathematical mean between 1 and 10 is 5.5 not even 5, but it doesn't even matter.

Yes? And you would be correct, only... I am talking about 0 and 10, not 1 and 10.

5 is the midpoint between 0 and 10.

So *ekhm* "You make zero sense, I feel sorry for you as you are probably disabled. So no reason to carry this on". Seriously, learn to read before you try to make an argument to show off your crazy math skills.

 

[mediocrepoet]

When you need to self limit yourself to get some fun and balance out of combat you know it is a shit system.

When they started adding busted items in Wrath's DLCs that killed the fun I said the same thing, so obviously I agree.

But what is curious is mediocrepoet, agreeing with your post while he sperged hard about "muh single player game" and "just don't use the busted items hurr hurr".

So, mediocrepoet did you mature in the meanwhile? Got a brain transplant?

What are you on about?

Given the rest of your moronic butthurt posts, I can only assume you've forgotten your meds and this is some sort of Tourette's episode.

Given the rest of your moronic butthurt posts, I can only assume you've forgotten your meds and this is some sort of Tourette's episode.

What about contingencies, thief traps and all the other BG2 spells?
Just the fact that it makes the fight vs Icasaracht so easy should be a crime.
Again to the "just don't use it bro" argument , "just lower the difficulty" then.

But that's just don't use it, bro! Like even with all the different classes, feats, and combinations available, he can't not use the ones he thinks are most OP. I think it's a symptom of testosterone deficiency.

Friend, as already suggested to you many times by multiple people, Canada has a very open policy regarding euthanasia. Think about it.
All this suffering does not need to continue.

Story in RT is really nothing special. There are really cool moments and quests and side quests here and there but as a whole thing it is pretty average.

I admit that game has huge issues tying plot together in chapters 4 and 5, but writing for the most quests and characters interactions is pretty damn good, at least in Russian, and there are a lot C&C callbacks to some choices (nothing story-changing, but landing on Footfall quietly/publicly for example affects more than dozen dialogues in the city). Companion's participation in dialogues seems to be even higher than in Wrath, or at least on the same level, and their personalities a lot more... balanced compared to Wrath, with its excess of cannibalistic females.

Also, extra points for almost nonexistent woke trash in the game.

 

[Rhobar121]

In fact, after the third act, the plot no longer makes any sense and it happens because the scriptwriter wants it and the player has literally no choice.
Also, the level of reactivity is even lower than in Kingsmaker for some reason, let alone Wrath.

 

[Axel_am]

What amazes me is that people are actually able to finish this. I just booted RT for the first time since December and the game bugged out on me on the very first encounter. Guess I'll come back to finish this in 2025.

First and only time I'm ever doing a day one purchase for an Owlcat game.

 

[Harthwain]

I admit that game has huge issues tying plot together in chapters 4 and 5

The issue with the story begins a lot earlier than that. I'd say Janus was the point where the cracks were starting to show (at least for me) and it only became worse from there.

and there are a lot C&C callbacks to some choices (nothing story-changing, but landing on Footfall quietly/publicly for example affects more than dozen dialogues in the city).

There are some major decisions that do get mentioned, but the problem is that there are too few of them and even they don't really have that much of an impact (as you yourself have said: "nothing story-changing"). Rykad Minoris is a good example of a big nothing-burger. Your background doesn't play any role whatsoever outside of getting mentioned a few times in the tutorial/prologue and 95% skills checks during exploration are worthless (realistically there are only there for flavour and to offer you a pittance in XP/money).

 

[Daidre]

Your background doesn't play any role whatsoever

Yes, choices made at character creator lacks in reactivity, and it is extra annoying when you play psyker, due to lore, but it was the same in Kingmaker. But reactivity on in-game decisions is higher than in Kingmaker, especially in companion's quests and events. And there some story parts

Spoiler

Lord Inquisitor in chapter 2 finale and Nomos, who tracks a bunch of decisions

Where a lot of choices is discussed at length - nothing like this is in Kingmaker. I am not talking about Wrath, where reactivity for mythic path is either higher and more detailed... or glaringly missing in some chapters and events.

 

[Harthwain]

But reactivity on in-game decisions is higher than in Kingmaker, especially in companion's quests and events. And there some story parts who tracks a bunch of decisions

"Some story parts" is key here. The amount of choices where your choice doesn't matter is too overwhelming for me to ignore. Saving the sacred Archeotech (a major decision at the end of Act I) being worth +2 Profit Factor? That's laughable. How about earning a lot of reputation with the Adeptus Mechanicus faction? That alone would be actually worthwhile benefit gameplay-wise, while also making it feel like your choice matters. To offset this you could make it so that the Holy Inquisition is more vary of you (or limit it to Drusians getting a negative view of you, because it is simpler way of handling this, given the state of the game). Honestly, reputation should be bigger currency when it comes to your C&C than how they actually handled it.

New patch: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2186680/view/6488076199785150487
Finally some useful and long awaited mechanics fixes:

Mechanics:

• Bounty Hunter's "Savour the Kill" talent no longer activates when an ally destroys a cover or another destructible entity;
• Dominate telepathy psychic power had no type assigned and therefore wasn't present in the Warp filter during level up - fixed;
• Bounty Hunter's "Claim the Bounty" kills with overpenetration sometimes didn't count as kills - fixed;
• Open to the Warp Navigator talent affected allies - fixed, it no longer does;
• Voidborn "Be Smart" talent in some cases did not apply its effect - fixed;
• Ulfar now always correctly attacks with his melee weapon with "Go for the throat " ability;
• Wounds sometimes didn't update with level up correctly - fixed;
• Fixed an issue where you could land on Eurac V with more than 6 characters in the party if you hired mercenaries before landing;
• Bounty Hunter's "Claim the Bounty" ability had incorrect damage percent calculation in the description - fixed;
• Arch-Militant's "Confident Approach" and "Cautious Approach" buffs could, in some cases, display as "Versatility" buff in terms of the icon and text, while retaining their original mechanics. Fixed, now they are always displayed correctly;
• Confusing psy-rating requirement texts have been replaced with five unique levels of psykers' powers;
• In come cases, Operative's "Expose Weakness" ability could remove all stacks of Exploit from the target even if it reduced enemy's armour to zero - fixed;
• Marazhai could not take Aeldari Armour Proficiency as an Exemplar talent - fixed;
• Yrliet could not take Drukhari Armour Proficiency as an Exemplar talent - fixed;
• Analytics System feature was using the target's Intelligence bonus, instead of the owner's - fixed;
• Fixed an issue with Heinrix's event, that could block the transfer to Act V;
• Spoiler

  C'tan Shard
  no longer goes into an infinite loop of attacks in response to Reckless strike;

• Bounty Hunter's "Savour the Kill" talent no longer activates when an ally destroys a cover or another destructible entity;

It only took them 5+ months to fix this shit..

Nooooooooo my unintended Pyromancer with infinite turns is done for. Now i only get 3 extra turns instead of 50.

 

[ArchAngel]

After release and first bigger patch I said they will need 6 months to fix the game but now if they continue going with this speed they will need 1 to 2 years if they do not quit before. And DLCs might make the game worse instead of better..

 

[Fedora Master]

Hey it's exactly like people predicted, how odd

[ArchAngel]

Even with all problems this is one of the better cRPG I've played and I am not against buying the DLC if it will be good. Also the upcoming 1.2 patch better have some real balance and combat fixes instead of mostly cosmetic like 1.1 was.

 

[Owlcat_Eyler]

We're planning to prepare an article with all the big changes that will be included in the 1.1.2 big patch. But this will be closer to the patch itself

 

[SpaceWizardz]

 

[TwoEdge]

Death Cult and Genestealers, me likey.

 

[Dayyālu]

Death Cult and Genestealers, me likey.

I'd like to like this, then I remembered I paid for an unfinished, broken product done by borderline scammers that can't even design a functional combat/character system.

Maybe I'll check some vids or pirate it in three years' time, if the entire dev team doesn't get dumped in a trench in Donbass like they deserve.

 

[Robber Baron]

The title art is really good yet again

Not even worth a second playthrough

Why would they go to Donbass? Their offices are in Cyprus, not Russia.
