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

cool warhammer flash game, but where's the official non-cartoon game?

Most characters feel samey in Pathfinder because behind every one is a petty idea that doesn't merit a whole class (e.g. Barbarian without rage, Paladin without laying on hands, etc). For example, there is no practical difference between playing a War Priest, Cleric, Inquisitor or Paladin. It's fake complexity.

buildfags will never understand this

"waow I have ONE DIFFERENT FEAT!!! THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER! GREATEST GAME DESIGN OH MY GOD!"
wotr is fucking trash and so is pathfinder

Don't follow man. Is the assertion that buildfags suck because of the desire to differentiate characters even if it is by trivial minutiae or did I miss something?

the assertion is that it's 99% identical and they're retards for enabling such shit design because it undermines the entire point of a character class

rusty_shackleford What you don't understand is that people who like Pathfinder aren't buildfags. They only think they are buildfags.

See, any idiot can take a Ranger class, take away animal companion and add the ability to cast cantrips and call it "Primal Hunter". This is called class bloat. Real buildfags prefer characteristically strong classes.

This looks like a mod for Pathfinder.

Icewind Dale is a mod for Baldur's Gate.

I think, Warhammer 40k needs a more "crisp" style of graphics. The coloring is off, everything is too "smooth". I'm also already tired of seeing the same ten assets copied over and over again in every screenshot. It's not a catastrophe, but recent 40k games like Darktide and the trailer for Space Marine 2 really show how the aesthetic is done right. Also Inquisitor Martyr nailed the isometric look of 40k much much better years ago.

APOLOGIZE

looks way too cartoony

ID & BG - same world, setting, ruleset
PF & RT - completely different intellectual properties, different games, rulesets

Day and night. I can't even fathom how much better Inquisitor looks. It was released in 2018. Better textures all over the place. The gruel and grime in Rouge Trader looks like something out of WoW for comparison.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

this looks like a bunch of cheap plastic toys
even the 'metal' has the shine of painted plastic

 

[Eisenheinrich]

So what's the issue here? Can't be engine, because Unity can do all sorts of styles. Is it the coloring? The lighting? Does it lack detail or more complex textures? One thing for sure is the lack of unique assets. Tilesets are all the same, over the top use of that one Aquila ...

Both pairs run on the same respective engine you complete rusgol sperg.

The lighting is also much, much better in Inquisitor

That is exactly the problem

Two DnD games run on the same engine, they look/feel similar, no problem

40k grimdark and Pathfinder fantasy should not look/feel similar

Only fake gamers like you get hung up on gwaffics.

 

[luj1]

Yeah

In other words, you have no argument

 

[Humbaba]

In other words you're completely autistic and a graphics whore.

 

[luj1]

I'm an art direction whore, correct

Art direction dude. Graphics be damned.

Art direction is fine you fucking idiots or does THIS look non-cartoony and 100% srs bsns to you

It doesn't matter, Codex is full of Europeans who want their games to look colorless and gritty.
