mechanicus copypasta about harry's addiction
From the moment I understood the weakness of my addiction, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of sobriety. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Program. Your kind cling to your vices, as though it will not cause decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Program.
I'm enjoying it, which is rare for me and crunchy turn based RPGs. But holy shit the bugs and general lack of polish. Nothing game breaking for me so far, but as soon as I finished the first location the achievement for visiting every system popped and I just kinda shook my head.
Yea lol, I have no clue what flags got messed up for the navis nobilite station to be doing that.
If you haven’t updated yet, act 5 is/was game breaking for everyone. It’s a bold move to do an unannounced episodic release like that/s
I got like a 7Gb update late yesterday, is that the one? I'm still in the first system so maybe it'll be ironed out by the time I get there.
Yeah. Apparently they want two more patches by the end of the year, so you should be alright unless you no life it.
I would love to pick up rogue trader but im gonna wait till it got some patches.
smart.
As a game it’s their best so far. As a finished product, wait a year lol.
I recommend torrenting the beta files if you want to give it a taste. It’s polished up until where the beta ended (except the latest patch broke everyone’s saves, so not true for the release version).
Yeah I played their previous games Kingmaker and Wrath of the Rightous. Great games but especially Kingmaker was really rough at release. Plus if im not mistaken Rogue Trader is gonna get 2 expansions with more story content and new party members in 2024. So I might wait for the first expansion and play it in around summer 2024.
Oh shit, I thought they would be separate like the kingmaker dlc. Good to know, but I don’t think I have the willpower to put it down lol.
Real internet wasn't available where I was lining at the time Kingmaker was released, I just gave up because a 5G patch every two days made it to where I couldn't play. Looking back I am not real sure why I couldn't refuse to update, or why they couldn't patch more efficiently. I recall being fairly affronted that cold iron was so important but not very accessible by the time I needed it & some ridiculously difficult low-level werewolf encounter that the devs just doubled down on the worst parts of early era PC & DND game design on to defend. Might be the roughest launch I played in a long time, but the bones of something really good were there.
Do you think it got to a state that would be worth going back to?
I have played Kingmaker for 80h back during release. I heard it only got better in terms of bugs. Mind you I cant really talk about balance/difficulty. I only remember playing it on a rather low difficulty because im not a huge fan of the pathfinder combat.
As an Owlcat enthusiast who has Kingmaker as their most played non-sandbox game with 400+ hours on Steam, I wholeheartedly approve. Much like you should never go to a second location, you should also never play an Owlcat game until at least a year has passed after launch.
Holy shit, the new Owlcat game got out ?
Thank you ! also RIP my upcoming weeks
My noble officer strategist character has the philosophy of "If I'm shooting my gun, something went wrong". As I hand out like 5 extra turns to my allies every round. The designers probably realised something has gone wrong because all the fucking enemies have 100 HP now, even like random level 1 schmucks.
I love it honestly, it’s a turn based version of their PF approach which required tons of buffing. Instead since this is TB, it’s forcing us to bust the action economy.
I would rather they gave me cooler shit to fight rather than just make "Thug" have 130 hp
Agreed, I expect a rebalance mod at some point if owlcat actually has no better ideas than HP inflation. I really think they ran out of runway and had to release.
I don't think rebalancing can change much. If they made the random generic level 1 foes have their start-of-game HP by the end Argenta could finish every fight in one round. You'd need to totally alter all the encounters in the end game, to have you fight multiple chaos space marines or an actual army on your own.
Which would be what I would prefer, you're a rogue trader after all. You're supposed to be clearing out entire space hulks.
