You can accuse Owlcat of a lot of things, but a Sawyerist orientation toward balance isn't one of them.
For navigators, yes. For Pykers, no. Nor for the SM companion. He is imo too weak for a freaking Space Marine.

How's this compare to the WH40k Daemonhunters game?

DH is a pretty decent and well-polished XCOM-like. It's well worth a play, especially with the recent DLC, but it has some questionable RNG design choices in my opinion - they don't ruin the game but they did impact my enjoyment of it.How's this compare to the WH40k Daemonhunters game?
Minigame is mostly decent this time around, Owlcat are improving in that aspect. In two games it might even be good.DH is a pretty decent and well-polished XCOM-like.

Rogue Trader is a buggy mess that needs at least another 12 months of patching before it'll be worth playing, but it's looking like a fairly decent RPG, albeit with another bunch of shitty minigames shoved into it because Owlcat's CEO is retarded.
Hope this clears things up

They were THIS CLOSE to making a real Battlefleet Gothic as a side project...The space combat is indeed decent, but still too isolated, linear, and inconsequential. That one needed more development time too imo. But considering the state of the game at release, I'm even surprised it turned out as well as it did.
I didn't have that one happen yet. If that really happened than you either went into tough fight without upgrading your ship gear or you didn't take silent running.They were THIS CLOSE to making a real Battlefleet Gothic as a side project...The space combat is indeed decent, but still too isolated, linear, and inconsequential.

While I enjoyed the space combat overall, somebody should be hanged for some design decisions (enemy annihilating you on his very first run, without a chance for you to do anything about it, for example).
I had fully upgraded ship at the time. The only thing I could do was get a few levels (two or three) by scrounging up ALL possible remaining space combats and THEN I took Silent Running. If I wouldn't, then there was no chance in Hell for me to ever winning that fight without messing with the difficulty of space combats.I didn't have that one happen yet.

Meh, I prefer what they've done so far vs no mini-games at all.The minigames could have been good if they'd just done them better!
Yeah, no.
Also game spams you with samey but slightly different weapons and gear. Also a lot of situational gear. Most of the time it is a chore to read through all of them and equip 6 people with such gear.. now I feel crazy about complaining how gear in old D&D games was just +1, +2 and such :DFinally finished this game. Strangely, no horrible bugs/crashes, just mismatched dialogue here and there. So, I guess, it's playable
Best part: Grimdark atmosphere. They've nailed it, seriously.
Also, the minigame is quite good.
Worst part: combat without any challenge after Act 1. I've tried to turn the difficulty up to Unfair, it didn't help. The enemies(including most bosses) can't get a single turn before dying to Cassia + MC Officer combo. Then I've thought it's Cassia who's OP, but no, when facing enemies immune to warp damage I had no problems either - Abelard and Heinrix kill everyone quite easy aswell, just a bit slower.
Unfortunately, cakewalk combat affects exploration. I remember that in previous Owlcat games I was excited for challenge and rewards. Here I know I'll meet no challenge and I don't care about rewards cause I don't really need any of them.

Maybe it requires base Psi Rating, not modified by Unsanctioned Psyker of Indira.Owlcat_Eyler When can we expect psyker talent picking to be fixed, amongst other things? For example, while leveling the game does not recognize i took +1 psy rating and doesnt allow me to take that psychic scream aoe cone ability?
Also, does Joint offence talent from operatives stack on all partymembers if multiple operatives take it?

Speaking about bugs.

Well if you can throw the cross through the window, fella probably goes with it. Nailed to it and all.Jesus. Can you throw him out the window?
This fix is already in progress, thank you. But I don't know the ETA of this very fixOwlcat_Eyler When can we expect psyker talent picking to be fixed, amongst other things?
