Happy Sunday everyone. I for one am glad this is the last NFL sunday with political ads, as I am ready for this goddamn election to be over. Anyway, I've been playing some Civ 5 and minecraft. Hope everyone had a good weekend

    I beat Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader finally. Now I'm doing a fash playthrough of Disco Elysium.

      Be careful, there's a bug that after doing a fascist playthrough if you do another playthrough your character portrait will still be fascist harry

      How was Rogue Trader? I haven't played the other Owlcat games because they have overwhelming options and I'm not a tabletop enjoyer. I read Rogue Trader is a completely different rules system though.

        I liked it quite a bit. The combat system is easy enough to wrap your head around. Being able to see what your chances of hitting different enemies are before you move is a nice touch. I played on daring and the game felt a little too easy at points.

        The story is good and the companion characters (and some other npcs) are compelling. The game has roughly 3 "alignments" that decisions can fall under that give perks for advancing them. I played as a heretic, for instance, and got an ability from that alignment that lets me massively boost a party members' stats for a few turns, but they fall prone afterwards.

        Each character gets 2 classes as they advance. With that in mind the choices currently feel pretty limited.

        The minigame Owlcat shoved into the game - ship combat - is actually pretty fun unlike in their Pathfinder games.
