I don't think that's all there is to it. This is in fact a more light-hearted take on the Warhammer 40k universe (just like the original Rogue Trader edition of the Warhammer 40k tabletop game was). It's a swashbuckling space adventure where you play a powerful aristocrat with special privileges and a retinue of ~diverse~ companions.Owlcat just reused Pathfinder visuals to shave off development time, there really isn't anything else to this.
So it's not like the content of the game is going to be super duper grimdark and the graphics won't fit. The graphics will match the content. These are the kinds of stories Owlcat likes to tell.

This is excellent bait Infinitron. -chef's kiss-
40k is honestly an interesting case study of how satire evolves. We went from balls-to-the-wall, punkhammer (1st ed) to tongue-in-cheek "grimdark" to actual grimdark, and now formulaic grimdark.I don't think that's all there is to it.

It's really not intended to be a controversial take! Hasn't Warhammer 40k always had its more light-hearted, adventurous interpretations? Like the Ciaphas Cain books?

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
Also, assets in RT have a rounded, plush look. I'm not sold that it ought to have intense chiaroscuro lighting everywhere, but the art definitely has a kiddie quality.Notice how plastic RT looks compared to Martyr
Then look at Martyr,
- blood and gore
- cold color palette! (instead of warm like RT)
- lightning completely changes the atmosphere and feel of the game
This is veeeeery basic kids stuff thats easy to understand when it comes to art. But doesn't work when you are a westernised slav and a cuck with low standards

The Pathfinder engine wasn't the best choice (visually) to represent this IP
I don't get it, frankly. What does tech or engine got do with it? What stops them from using the same engine, but entirely different tiles / textures / etc?This was a technological necessity for Owlcat
Alex Stewart. He also wrote two books on Dark Hairesy (Innocence proves nothing / Scourge the heretic) which are well above the typical bolter porn / Dan Abnett's anti-epilepsia addled musings. Shame GW terminated the IP and we never saw the conclusion of the series.Sandy Mitchell
medsEither Owlcat paid him extra or the situation must be really bad if Infinitron deigns to interact with the thread beyond "news" spam.
I found a video where a guy plays with core rules. I even timestamped the moment where he shows the difference between normal and core rules (56:07):Am also interested in seeing core, especially considering normal looks decently tough.I have seen two difficulty options: core and normal. Did you see a video of somebody playing on core difficulty or was he just on normal?Characters seem to have lots of HP compared to the pnp version where getting up to 20 Wounds was a major achievement (for reference, weapons could do 1d10+5 as an average, thus making armor and Toughness very important).
He's the best Warhammer 40k writer in my opinion. Added much needed humour and good writing to epicness on steroids and grimdark of the setting.Alex Stewart.

There is no such thing as a "light-hearted take". This is Warhammer 40k. It is Grimdark.I don't think that's all there is to it.
