Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

[TheEmptyRoad]

Commoragh actually isn't that long, ESPECIALLY compared to WotR Act IV. Once you get out it's back to being Space Conquistador.

length isn't the problem, its the fact that I have to go through my entire inventory and reequip everything for EVERYONE.

It auto-re-equipped me. Weird.

I haven't reached that part again yet, but hopefully this is something they changed since then.

I'd like if the game just had more NPCs who live in the world you can talk to

I believe it was part of a big patch update that included QOL change that auto-re-equipped all characters.

tip for respeccing: before doing it, go to the archetype page and select a talent option that has all the talents, then star all the ones you have trained(that you plan on keeping, anyways)
do the same with abilities, too

make sure not to confuse the locked ones with trained, ofc, they'll both be red

I killed yrliet, but she still shows up when it asks me to pick my party. Opened my character screen, and sure enough, she appears at the top but with 0 HP. Quality, owlcat.

I think the story/game would have been a lot better if the main character was a rogue trader's seneschal instead

[rusty_shackleford]

these loading times are killing me

Well doing that would significantly limit the story decisions the MC could do by a lot.

but the stuff involving the ship is the best part

True. However due to the nature of Warhammer 40k if your not in position of high authority your pigeon hold on what you allowed to do.

Being Iconoclastic or heretic would be death sentence. Owlcat was already pushing what’s realistically possible to get away with as Rogue Trader, your character not being a Rogue Trader would have gotten you in instant bolt shot to the face by a Inquisitor for attempting 1/100 the **** you do in the game.

go check the alignment of abelard.

[rusty_shackleford]

it fails the good samaritan test btw

[rusty_shackleford]

also, if you want to discuss making sense, the rogue trader putting themselves in this much danger makes way less sense
at least you could make some kind of excuse for the seneschal going on adventures

Yes he leans more “good aligned”, however A he still very much dogmatic and B he still has to follow the whims of a Rogue Traders who by in large selfish Assholes who couldn’t give two shits about human life’s.

Now if your playing as the seneschal you going be very much limited in what you can and can’t do. It becomes understandable on why Owlcat choose the MC as a Rogue Trader since it gives a lot of player freedom on how they can respond to any given situation which would be next to impossible for anyone else.

To be fair certain Rogue Traders are known to put themselves in danger for the thrill of it. I do think it’s possible for the story to be a MC seneschal but large amounts of the story would have to be rewritten to make it work, but at that point you’re loosing the whole appeal of Rogue Trader game in the first place.

[rusty_shackleford]

act 3 wasn't that bad, but I didn't like it and it will probably kill any interest in a replay for me tbh

also, they keep giving me characteristic checks that are tuned as skill checks

[rusty_shackleford]

Don't click this unless you did ALL of the DLC. I don't even know if I did all of it, but I don't want to spoil it for you guys. Otherwise, you're going to spoiler a good story for yourself and regret it.

► Full DLC spoilers!

Wow, what a tough boss fight. one of the closer fights I've had.


Anyone who says vanguard sucks is stupid as hell.

I loved the buildup of Einrich's character. I started feeling something was wrong about halfway thru, but I wasn't completely sure. They did a really good job of writing him, I wanted to like him too… which means he was written fantastically. That's exactly how they operate.

for the dlc

The game is really hampered by their homebrew system they use, which is sad.

much like star wars without jedis, wh40k is more interesting without spess muhrines

► Show Spoiler

You can get one in Act 3

► Show Spoiler

He’s a ******* Space Corgi too. I honestly would have been happier with ANY other Chapter save maybe the Ultrasmurfs

If you turn baddie
You could recruit a lovely Word Bearers Chaos SM

Maybe that's the only reason why I'd buy RT.

Heretic is very half backed in the game not to mention it falls into the camp of chaotically stupid a lot of times which I dislike in any RPG period.

[rusty_shackleford]

There shouldn't even be a heretic 'playthrough', except perhaps being hunted down by the inquisition.

The idea that every RPG needs to offer multiple 'sides' of the same story is silly.

[rusty_shackleford]

a major complaint I have is there is no way to know wtf just updated with regards to missions
you'll warp travel to somewhere, dialogue will pop up, and you can't click the journal entry because the dialogue popped up then you have to go dig through 40 rumors and 15 quests to figure out wtf it was

Sadistic game design.

these loading times are killing me

Finished BG1 and started dragonspear today using the SCS mod. I always forget how good it is to have instant loads with older games.

Some new games have instant loading times too. Play ATOM RPG if you haven't, the biggest town loads instantly, and it has NPCs with full schedules.

[rusty_shackleford]

probably 7-8+ times now I've had an awareness check pass and have absolutely no idea what was uncovered, nothing new popped up, nothing close to me(behind walls), etc.,

It's for the twitter ******* that dislike the imperium or the overly goody two shoe that thinks saving everyone is a viable choice in Warhammer.

It's not about saving everyone, it's about saving as many people as possible

I’m no twitter *** however when I’m playing a CRPG I kinda expect player freedom in being Evil , Good , neutral or none of the above.

this is like playing the witcher games and getting mad that you're geralt
wh40k doesn't have "evil, good, neutral"
