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

[Infinitron]

They are going to do their own story and characters. No adaptation of any current campaigns.

They're clearly adapting the Paizo adventure path Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

 

[The_Mask]

You keep rating me butthurt. And you seem to be running out of clever pictures. Why?

Pride is a sin Saravan - only Humility will set you free. I'm humble. I said I'd go, but when you decided to talk, I backed down. Why won't you?

Notice: that is the difference between you and me.

Please save some of the faggotry for the game, will be plenty for you to exert when it comes out.

Are you saying that you won't answer my question(s) because I'm a homosexual?

Ok.

 

[mediocrepoet]

This thread is like the horn of plenty! Owlcats are the designers of the millennium!

 

[Harthwain]

World without good is as corny as one without evil.

This is a great way of putting it.

When you don't have a clearly defined good and evil it means you have to pay more attention and be critical of what you see or hear, because you can't use the Compass of Good & Evil to guide you. That said, you can have an interesting world/story with Good & Evil involved, although I find that harder to achieve, because it's so easy to slip into banality due to the nature of the topic.

More like zoophilia, considering the Eldar think of humans as little more than hairless monkeys.

Mon'keigh isn't particularly subtle.

I expect very little from this game. Owlcat doesn't have the writers to make good 40k content that's dark and satirical at the right ratio. Them being a Russian studio trying to sell to a western audience won't help either.

Yeah, Eldar consider sleeping with humans to be basically bestiality.

Now, I ask you, do you REALLY want to sleep with someone who's ok with sleeping with...well....Emperor know's what?

Who knows what kind of freaky space disease you'd wake up with?

 

[Delterius]

so its on brand

 

[Orud]

So it's going to be turnbased and in the Unity engine, probably building on their work done in the Pathfinder games. Here's to hope they can fix the easy reproduceable performance killing bug in their turnbased modes.

Just get into turn-based combat and reload the game several times. Especially near the end of their games, battles become so filled with enemies (enemy's higher levels might also add to it) that their games grind to a halt after just a few encounters.

That information is interesting.

So no terrible DMPC's like Seelah then, awesome. Big opportunity for the writing team to prove themselves.

What game should one play to get more familiar with Warhammer 40k?
Need to get more familiar with the lore till this one comes out. (Besides there is a sale rn)

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Mechanicus
Inquisitor: Martyr


those are basically the only ones worth playing
there's a lot of bad warhammer games

Tabletop. I recommend Kill Team.

There's no hobby store near you and importing across the border is too expensive? Well, then the least you can do is read up Johnny https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page

 

[razvedchiki]

tau fire warriors, eldar aspect warriors, space marines, battle sisters, mechanicum, psykers, mutants oh my!
really hope this time most companions will come to blows with peeps they dont like, like in bg.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

What is a "classic crpg"?

did they prefix it with "classic" just so they could say "weeellll inquisitor martyrt wasn't akshually a classic-style game...."?

Final Liberation.

Means isometric digital adaption of a PnP ruleset. The BG definition.

 

[Shadenuat]

probably means it will have romances with companions and stuff.

Don't forget Dawn of War. First one definitely, second one probably, third one? Avoid like Nurgle's plague.

And Martyr is questionable, only if you're thirsty for passable Diablo clones and I'm not sure it's a great introduction to w40k for someone who's unfamiliar with it.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Mechanicus
Inquisitor: Martyr


... there's a lot of bad warhammer games

100% agreed.

Except Inquisitor: Martyr sucks balls and Space Marine is boring af. Didn't play Mechanicus.

Imo, the only ones worth playing are basically DOW and DOW 2.

Man, you have decent taste sometimes when it comes to what makes an RPG, but this is a Fallout 76 tier shit take. That game is garbage.

nah it's good you just probably had your monitor turned off or something
I don't even like left click sim games and I enjoyed it

Of those I've only played Mechanicus and while not bad, the game ends up revolving about the gimmick of generating actions points and that's not really what I was looking for.

Rusty pls, Diablo is not a CRPG, it's an ARPG.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Rusty pls, Diablo is not a CRPG, it's an ARPG.

CRPG means Computer Role-Playing Game.
ARPGs are CRPGs.

 

[Humbaba]

Rusty plssssssss, we can agree that the term CRPG taken literally means jack shit but we all know what the implications are and that they're different from ARPGs, some of which aren't even PC exclusive, like Diablo itself that got a Playstation port.
