I like this one a bit more than their usual B&W stuff, because this one reminds me of Berserk.
"Unbroken by adversity, to walk bravely first into the darkness." These are the words of the oath that all Rogue Traders of von Valancius dynasty recite. But will your valor abandon you when you truly do step into the darkest depths of space?
Read that as Unbroken by diversity...

Are any of you guys going to visit GenCon?
I mean no offense, but even if someone did live around Indy, I doubt anyone here is going. BG III is coming out, and so I strongly doubt (no matter the bravado) that anyone here will be doing anything else than either playing it, or watching closely how the release of it goes.
It's just that big.

I'd definitely go to gen con if I lived nearby. The nice thing about single player video games is that they're happy to wait until you have time to play.

Kinda shitty survey. If I feel like replaying a 100+ hour crpg, it's either 10 years after release (get the complete goty edition for 5 dollars), or immediately after finishing it. In either case a dlc which demands I replay the game NAO! is useless. But also, if you add 10 hour dlc to 100+ hour game it won't change that much.
Also the fact that owlcat specifically asks for 100+ hour means there's no chance rogue trader won't have the same amount of encounter bloat their pathfinder games did is there?

There are much fewer combat encounters in RT. But due to the turn-based system, they take some time to get through. As I've said, the beta has about 60-70 hours of gameplay already(depending on your gaming style)
And I will also consider your feedback on the survey
These "nobles" look so goofy to me...
Incendia-Bastaal Chorda is the current head of the Chorda dynasty and one of the other Rogue Traders present in the Koronus Expanse.
She relies heavily on faith in her rule, but how far can she go in her blind devotion to the dogmas of the Imperium?

You are wrong. They're great examples of the Imperium's diverse nobility.

When I was a little boy I always wanted to go to the GenCon Paris but they don't make those anymore in France.
What is confusing, though, is how Owlcat seems to be treating Rogue Traders and Imperial Lords of the Adeptus Terra... interchangably. Ruling planets is what the Lords do. Swashbuckling adventures and merchant empires is what the Rogue Traders do.

That's what the main Rogue Trader (antagonist) figure looks like in the Dark Heresy official campaign. Well, before he was taken by outer powers.

That guy is a paper-thin copy of Captain Harlock IIRC, with identical behaviour.
RTs are nobles in many cases due their immense wealth and influence, but they are usually those that were "gifted" a Warrant of Trade to push them out of the way of politics. Regular folk getting a WoT also happens though.

Well he is called Captain Haarlock, it's an hommage. And he is a noble.
It's good that they got a live choir. I imagine The Grateful Undead are all booked up.
It also sounds pretty nice.
