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

Oh well, i softlocked on cap 3

Can't win the malice boss fight, i have no tanks and the eldar is even naked cuz the loot seems to be gone in the void.
Nice fucking balance and mechanics owlcat, AS USUAL.

This game gone from a 8/10 to a 5/10 very fast.

You can get your gear back, although it is no super obvious how. Also, I am impressed you maanged to get this far without a single tank. I started with one, then I got an off-tank. I still struggled at times, but I managed to get as far as late in Chapter 4.

I have tanks, but for that fight you only get 3 pg.

Retreat into little corridor where entrance is. You need to survive 2-3 rounds before help arrives. Use grenades and stimms you gathered until that point.
Yes that fight might be hardest in Act3 for first time players.
You should have Abelard in that fight if you brought him to Act 3, and give eldar chick a good burst weapon even if she usually uses snipers, she can still own enemies

I bite the bullet and used story mode, i feel SO DIRTY now.

Battle system is better than pathfinder (no 221313805315152135 buffs and shit to refresh) but is starting to sour me, is more of a stat check (or use broken ass builds) than actual strategy.

Anyway, this is the most perfect avatar to ever exist, i love it.

Base game is worth it imo. Rogue Trader has a lot of replayability and the story can change a lot if you play with a different conviction. So, if you like it you can just play it a second time with a different conviction, but this time going through the expansion.

If you still haven’t made a choice I’d say get the DLC. It’s integrated very nicely into the main game; I am doing my first run with it installed and for some characters it took me going through half the DLC’s content before even noticing they were not in the base game. Stuff also pops up sparsely enough so you can feel the plotline evolve at a very good pace.

As for my experience with the whole game I’m very much loving it. Maybe it’s because I’m dumb and created a psyker/officer/bounty hunter MC with zero points into ballistics (lol) but the difficulty has held up well and I think there’s enough variety in the encounters to justify them (maybe they should remove a few pink horrors idk). I also like the itemization being more horizontal than in many other games. Sometimes it’s overwhelming to get like 40 new goodies from traders but overall it’s fun to stop and update everybody’s gear once in a while.

Damn someone really made an avatar for Captain Hercules Lucullus Skywalker Master-Commander Poirot.

Stars of Matrianus only accessible via ToyBox? It's one of the systems mentioned during Cassias's companion quest.

Kibellah's quest and character is basically ShadowHeart's arc and quest but grimdark.

Kibellah quest

Both got brainwashed by a cult, both lost their families to the cult , both Shadowheart and Kibellah aren't their real name , both can be made worse by the protagonist. Kibellah was actually groomed into the whole thing compared to Shadowheart that just get Magic Brainwash

And i know, not that of uncommon of a trope.

When somebody said this game was 90% mid-conversation ambushes, I thought they were kidding.
