Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - turn-based Warhammer 40k RPG from Owlcat Games

For a supposedly super wise and smart race, the Eldar sure are retarded in this.

The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer was probably right when it compared Eldar to errant children.

Everyone is retarded in this one, except some Mechanicus guys.

I mean they created 4th Chaos God.. they are just retarded..

Ah yes, the god of mucking about.

That's actually pretty darn close to the general lore of 40k when it comes to Eldar.

Hey, guys! I've got an important question for you all. Taking into consideration the last big patch, what in your opinion should be changed now(mechanic-wise)? I would like to gather your updated feedback on this.
Got it and already noted about "killing edge"

 

[HeatEXTEND]

Any big bugs left in co-op that anyone knows? Wanna play with some friends but we are willing to wait if there are still "haha fuck you" bugs.

-20% on gog right now. Is it sort of playable or should I wait for the definitive edition or -50% sale?

very playable. I like it despite what they said about it here.

Playable but still unbalanced and easily breakable. It is in beta state now, release possibly coming with EE.

In terms of being able to finish quests I think it partially depends on what you want to play, I played Iconoclast in my first play through and bar one thing I had to fix with Toybox and missing Marazhai's quests from Act 4 on it was fine, but I've heard that Heretic still has a few more bugs to iron out. The combat is still unbalanced and a bit buggy but not unplayably so, some things are just very, very OP. Overall it's a very fun game and definitely playable but be prepared to potentially clean up the odd thing with Toybox.

Haven't played after the patch so I can't help. Huge patch btw, thank you!
In case you do not know this channel, this person has an intimate knowledge of the game and mechanics and goes over some patch notes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLkGqJVgqX0

Now on another note, something that feels bad is that companions always have an edge over the MC or something special the MC can't possibly get. For example Idira with Unsanctioned Psyker or Jae with Gunslinger.
Sure, the MC gets some permanent buffs, but don't know if they make up for these shortcomings of the MC (and I don't even remember if there was something significant since most of them didn't work or went away after transitions).

The worst offender I have met for now - Ofiicer's "No Respite" talent that gives party members +100 All Stats more often than not.

what in your opinion should be changed now(mechanic-wise)?

Making psyker powers less D&D 4eish and more in line with lore and other OwlCat games. Having proper visual impact for stuff like Molten Bean, telepath able to take control over the enemy instead of just forcing them to waste resources(like 4e), firestorm working like P&P. And having multiple ammo types for the same weapon, bolters can use dozens of different types of ammo in game, would be cool if you could use Witch Bolts against creatures of the warp, hellfire bolts and tempest bolt https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Bolter_Ammunition#Tempest_Bolts

A option to speed up animations would also be great.

You need to hold space and can end up skiping turns if you hold too much. Was possible to speed up in turn based kingmaker to 10x and 3x in Wrath.

This is the Way.

You can already speed up animations. Check in settings, there are 3 options. Holding button to speed it up is 2nd option, there is also option that speed them up always.

When are you guys making a proper TB WFRP crpg, preferably using the WFRP 2E ruleset from BI (though 4e could also be acceptable if there was no other choice)

Isn't this game based off the Rogue Trader ruleset from BI, latter reprinted by FFG? If so everything ought to be lore accurate, at least according to the pnp ruleset (I haven't read it as I was never into WH40K, but I recall it got rave reviews back in the day). If you're talking about animations though then yeah, they should match whatever the triggering ability is supposed to do.

They didn't follow PnP rules like with Pathfinder but were only inspired by them. If they did this to a game that was based on D&D ruleset, the game would be been shit on to oblivion like we did with some D&D RPGs in the past.

Wasn't Solasta considered OK in terms of ruleset and implementation?

I was thinking about Sword Coast Legends and some other past games based on D&D.

Nope. Lousily inspired.

Psyker powers for eg, fells more like D&D 4e spells than tabletop powers.

he game would be been shit on to oblivion like we did with some D&D RPGs in the past.

That depends on the ruleset that they chose to adapt.

Imagine if thsi game followed GURPS rules to the letter. Would be extremely better. https://gurps.fandom.com/wiki/GURPS_Warhammer_40,000

I was thinking about Sword Coast Legends and some other past games based on D&D.

They don't even try to be a adaptation. The unique 5e adaptations are solasta and baizuo's gate 3.

 

[Rhobar121]

I think everyone can agree that the worst part of the game is the crappy custom ruleset.
While bugs can be fixed, it is unlikely that the system will be completely changed.

Hopefully they redo it for their next WH40K RPG.
