Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - turn-based Warhammer 40k RPG from Owlcat Games - now with Void Shadows DLC

[ERYFKRAD]

It just occurs to me that there is no shield in this game.

Hopefully they add them in when the DLC comes out.

Your shield ought to be hatred bruv.

I noticed that few weeks back when I played WK40K Inquisitor. Unless that game invented shields there should be a whole range of shields in WH40K world. And I am talking about Void shields, personal energy shields and such.
Yea there is also no real shields. SMs use big shields in their tactics although maybe it would be out of character for our Space Wolf to use a shield.

As far as physical shields, all Astartes chapters have access to Storm Shields, combat shields, and boarding shields. Even Arbites get riot shields.

Also no power fists or chain fists and no missile or grenade launcher either.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

no grenade launcher either.

Did your version of the game not come with Abelard?

Everything dies till his turn is up. And then he had to give his buffs

 

[FritzedProcess]

Abelard and Argenta are the best. Abelard at some point early in the game becomes Bud Spencer and just bitchslaps every encounter in the game, especially bosses. On the other hand, I have had Argenta mow down entire encounters in 1-2 turns if you spec her for hunter with overpenetration + burst fire. She's the best waifu, although she isn't romanceable for obvious reasons, but she's one of my favourite characters, along with Abelard. There's nothing unlikeable about those two.

A good start but I do not see any of the meaningful Ulfar fixes here. Either for his one handed bolters, or charge, or movement issues or lack of items for his slots.
At least they fixed that origin talent that should now give him 20% dodge and armor so he will be better tank if he can survive to his turn :D
Also I hope some of you post images of how his items now look in faction trading.. I moved to Act 5 now and no going back.

As for fixing overpowered characters,
Steady Superiority (Upgrade III) and Killing Edge fixes are like 1% of what is needed.

I think the new patch broke the killing edge ability.

It is suppose to deal extra damage no matter what, and if you hit a weakness point it gain extra percentage of damage.

But I tested it a bit, and now if you hit a weakness, the extra damage is over the roof(I just hit a 50000 damage and one shot the final boss) but there is no extra percentage damage, but if you haven't hit a weakness, you deal very little extra damage.

 

[jf8350143]

And they still haven't fix the verstility bug, single target attack still can't get the proper bonus.

LoooL!
Funny thing where I first read patch notes I thought there is a chance them made it stronger not weaker and now I see I was not wrong... maybe all their men went to war and all they got left is dangerhairs to do the coding?

I think it's stronger if you actually hit a weakness, but weaker when you are not.

Still its damage is enough to one shot every enemy in the game if you hit a weakness, you will have a hard time to kill several elite enemies with 1000+ health because you won't be able to hit all of their weakness points.

Bascially it's harder to kill everyone with just one assassin, you need someone to take care of the others while they deal with the boss. It's a improvement if you ask me.

No ability one shotting boss in any kind of improvement.

It can still one shot boss before the patch anyway.

My comment works for any version of the game. Unless this one shot takes setup that lasts more than one turn and needs actions of multiple characters.

 

[ArchAngel]

I've just tried new killing edge.. now it does 4x more damage then before the patch lol

 

[ArchAngel]

I've been exploring Act 5, space combat is finally dangerous again. I had to finally reload one fight due to being blown up (but I didn't want to use any of the limited super abilities) in a fight vs 2 Frigates and 1 Light Cruiser.
Ground combat is more hilarious then even. All my characters are now OP. Almost anyone can clear these encounters in 1 or 2 turns with a bit of help of Cassia. Hard difficulty is basically Story mode in other games LOL
There is no way I am replaying this game while it is in this hilariously unbalanced state. I would have to invent so many house rules I would forget what I am allowed to use and what I am not.

 

[REhorror]

Yay, I somehow managed to get Cassia's final romance event and do the in-out in-out.

How lewd.

Objective achieved, the Rogue CHADer moves on to Salis Prime!

 

[Fedora Master]

Fish pussy. Fushy.

 

[REhorror]

Wow, and after we do it the first time, we can ask her to do it again!

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY

 

[ArchAngel]

Yay, I somehow managed to get Cassia's final romance event and do the in-out in-out.

How lewd.

Objective achieved, the Rogue CHADer moves on to Salis Prime!

When she offered herself first time to my dogmatic character I looked at her hands and fingers and said "Get away from me you mutant."
