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

[Lamiosa]

Kinda, but that forces you to use good tactics and plan your builds properly.

You mean forces you to save in combat every turn and reload 100 times waiting for enemy to miss with certain ability? That's my impression from Werglia's fight with chaos marine. I don't like his builds, but I doubt it will make much difference at that level.

Yeah that fight should definitely be nerfed, Werglia agreed about that too. At least the sniper should be a lot weaker. But most fights took 2 or 3 tries max for him, and for me that's reasonable for the hardest difficulty of a game like this, especially one with chance to hit/skill saves.

since this isn't an actual dating sim where every character is on the table, people like knowing up front "Should I try to pursue this character?"

From an immersion point of view, they should be denied that prior knowledge.

Sure, but that's not what Lacrymas is saying. He's trying to put an equals sign between developers informing players about potential romanceable characters and "owing the knowledge of your sexuality to anybody". Which is a retarded statement when you consider there are laws in place that protect much more than just your gender or sexual preferences in real life. "Invading a person's privacy"? We're talking about NPCs here. In the Imperium of Man. Don't expect something like privacy there, because the whole of Imperium of Man is a giant police state (if only because the people in power realize they need to watch out for enemies within as much as for enemies without).

Are they trying to imply that this information has been discovered through illicit/clandestine methods because it's the Imperium of Man or are they telling you, the player, who you can stick your dick in? I'll accept the former if stated in-game, but the latter is a bit gross from where I'm standing. There's sex-obsessed and then there's invasive listing of a character's intimate/inner world like an inventory check.

Begone Foul Demon. Or in language that you will Understand. Fuck Off Faggot.

I may be in the minority here, but I'm willing to give the game a lot of points if the ship building/customization is top notch. I love me building my own engine of space domination. :D

Every single overworld management Schtick that owlcat has implemented in their games, has been boring shit.

The ship combat won't be any different.

 

[Ismaul]

You can build the ship, but can you romance it?

Makes sense that if you build a voidship, it's to fill a void, isn't it? wink wink

I guess I can repost this work of art:

The ship combat won't be any different.

But can it manage to be even worse than the army battles in WotR ? That's the real question.

 

[Cohesion]

That's my impression from Werglia's fight with chaos marine.

Who is Werglia? You're talking like we all should know him(her?). Is it some famous person?

Werglia is one of the streamer that got pre-release code and it's pretty far into the game so far. Not famous but only one so far that got deep into the game.

Owlcat_Eyler question regarding Win 10. Is it hard requirement or is just that you dont Guarantee it will work ? i tend to like my Win 7 and basically only use Win 10 for games like Jagged Alliance 3 that have no working bypass for Win 7.

The beta at least in my pc worked fine in my Linux with Proton. You could try it. Some old gamess like Jade empire, I can't run in M$ bloatware but can run in Linux. Jagged Alliance 3 is platinum in protondb > https://www.protondb.com/app/1084160

Rogue trader is also platinum in Linux : https://www.protondb.com/app/2186680

Our programmers say that it should run just fine. But no guarantees

Should've sided with normal people, shill.

Some interesting equipments just showed on Werglia's stream. Combat in unfair is tense, but I like it, noticeable incline from wrath. Maybe I'll try unfair first playthrough.

I am way more worried about stuff like this than body type. Equipment with random magical effects is not very 40k.
None of the pnp's had anything like this.

Notice how the left boots have a wrong cargo categorie. Willing to bet this will not going to be fixed upon release, and for a year after it.

Probably because they aren't trader gear.

Woah Grand Strategist looks like a very complex archetype to play

It's time for my Warrior/Assassin Pyromancer

If there is equipment with fire resistance that stacks you might make baneling Jihadi.

That's oddly specific, as Deathworlds can be frozen wastes too. But clearly they're going for a gamey pyromancer route, totally. There is fire resistance in all pnp games, so this will be here as well. So far, it seems some of the pnp was changed for balance reasons, but there are also new gear that is quite gamey, like the ones that give a minimal boost in specific circumstances. Oh well, you won't have to worry about hoarding 100 lasguns all to craft an uber-gun, as you could just buy a master-crafted gun instead.
Hopefully.

baneling

for the record fuck sc2

 

[yes plz]

Did anyone happen to extract the avatars from the beta? Looks like they changed or removed a few.

Forge world also gets deflection for fire damage.
Burning damage is 10 per tick, so you probably won't need Body of flames.

This is how much damage burning deals to slightly tanky fodder:

so it may not be worth it.
