>releases in 2 days>no hypedWhat went so wrong?
the companion isn't sexy enough
>>740704472I'll be hyped when they release the last DLC and the ultimate edition so I can finally replay it. Otherwise, I don't care.
>>740704472Hyped for MORE Jimmy content! Total Jimmy Hype!
i'm not doing a sixth run of the game for a fat fuck and implants
>>740704472>another male companion>body modification cringeThere's really nothing to look forward to.
>No waifuWhy bother?
>>740704472They missed with this one I'm afraid
>>740704472They sabotaged this dlc by picking redundant companionIt would actually be better without them wasting time, money and effort on a fat pasqal which game doesn't need
>>740704472>male companionpass, just like i passed on the nigger.
>>740704472>releasesYou mean the beta, which they will patch into a "finished" product over 2 years.
>>740707483It's DLC for Rogue Trader thoughever
>>740707483this is DLC for Rogue Trader, not Dark Heresy sequel they make
>>740704472>fat ugly bastard companion>no new class>new mechanic (augments) isnt very interestingNot sure what they were thinking since 90% of crpg players are waifu/husbando fagsI see no reason to start up another run.
>>740704472I'm hyped, but owlcat didn't exactly made a lot of marketing for it, just 2 dev blog on the DLC, and a part for the last one not much information at all.
>>740707887>>740707857It's how they operate, no reason to expect anything else just cause it's a DLC to a still unfinished game.
>>740708137They want the second companion to be a surprise.
>>740708137They've switched over to DH shilling. RT won't be getting much shilling anymore
The hype is pushed out of the catalog by god of war, evie, or now zelda threads
Release a new pathfinder game
>>740704472>uninteresting companion>no new classes>new augment mechanic sounds midI don't feel like starting a whole playthrough for it.
>>740708795Never ever
>>740704472why would I give a shit when the game is still going to be boiled dogshit
>>740708259ah didn't knowowlcat need to expand act 4, I really hope this DLC and the next one will focus on it, act 2 it's basically half the game, and now I usually leave all the mini mission on single planets for the later part, just because otherwise after act 3 it's really straightforward to the end, when you have all the gears and shit to play with, but no real way to do so
>>740704472I'll be hyped when they release the last DLC and the ultimate edition so I can finally pirate the whole thing. Otherwise, I don't care.
>>740709352They don't need to expand it with DLC. They need to unfuck the main story and main story+companion missions
Finish the damn product and i'll buy it. I don't have time replaying it 5 times.
>>740709439Pirates are the vegans of gaming; You know they are pirates because they make sure to tell you.
didnt they say this dlc will have something "many have been asking for"? i will replay it if they put in a proper heresy path.
>side content instead of fixing the barren endgame That's why
>>740709670I just like some Good Old Games, anonNothing wrong with getting some DRM-free games exactly as they're sold
>>740709506true true, but they'll never do that, there is no way to ask shekels by doing it
>>740709352I agree with this anon >>740709506. The problem is the pacing, the game is already pretty big and adding more stuff to it would just make it more tedious. They should tie up loose ends and stuff the build up in earlier chapters better, rather than add more stuff on top, act IV feels super rushed and unfinished. Void Shadows was a great DLC because it expanded on something that the game sorely needed which was more interactions with your existing crew and expanding your Voidship's storyline. If I was in charge I would have made some DLC making colony management more interesting and adding plotlines to your colonies, once you finish their respective missions during act II you don't really have a reason to go back to them again except for those colony events that drain your stats if you leave them unattended for long.
I'll replay RT after the fourth dlc comes out
>>740709347It's the best cRPG in 2 decades
>>740704472I'm playing the Dark Heresy beta
>>740709698Owlkeks say a lot of things
>>740709698nobody cares for heretical path so it can't be it
>>740710620Leak it
>>740709698I haven't seen anything about an ork though
Is this the last patch? Can I finally buy this and play it without another patch changing everything about it?
>>740710524it's not even finished
>>740704472I am hyped though
>>740710219I'll be cool and certainly needed, I just don't see how they can do a DLC for that
>>740710919No, two more DLCs to go
>>740704472WH trash We want PF3
>>740711118Aw phooey.
>>740710620i feel like Owlcat betas are the alpha, full release is the beta, and then the Enhanced Edition is the real full release.
>>740710524Rogue Trader isn't even the best Owlcat game. you must be a huge 40k fan to feel that way.
>>740710815You can see it anywhere. Anyone with the $40/36€ preorder can play it.It's missing a lot of classes etc and is only one planet thoughbeit. Haven't experienced bugs so far which is weird, WotR was riddled with them, RT had some.
>>740710981it is>>740711301it is their best game and honestly nothing else comes close
>>740711072Turn those text only events you get when getting a new colony level into actual missions. Maybe not for all levels, but for some. We only get to visit a few small buildings for each planet, it ruins the whole concept of being the ruler on entire worlds.
I will finally finish this game since this is the last dlc>but it isn't I DO NOT care about your treasure of the midnight isles clone dlc
You level up waaay too fast in this
>>740704472I can't be bothered with a third playthrough for a fucking fattie.I'll grab a torrent with this and the next, and final, DLC once it releases.Going from full fledged expansions to bite sized DLCs is a mistake for games this long.
>>740710845Orks aren't nearly as popular as you think they are
>>740711352If I wanted to buy it I'd buy it. But I don't want to buy it, that's why I'm telling you to leak it
>>740711391WotR smokes Rogue Trader in every conceivable way except visual fidelity.
>>740711707Yes they are
>>740711707Orks are the second most normal faggot known 40k faction because of misunderstandings of how ork tech works>if they le believe it works the it le does XD SO CRAZY WHAAAGand being chavs
>>740712339>normal faggotWho cares?
>>740711853wotr has one of the worst settings while 40k is the best setting ever createdwotr has bad companions and RT the best squad out of all crpgswotr has shit homm battles, RT has space battles so good you wish there was more of themwotr has terrible combat and encounter design, RT has very good oneetc
>>740704472they misspelled museum
>>740713765RT's combat design is inarguably the weakest of the Owlcat games so far. Rocket tag is fun, charitably speaking, once, maybe twice.
>>740708259Wonder if it's a xeno companion you break out of Trazyn's vault or a necron
>>740713765i'm gonna keep it a bean and admit two things. Rogue Trader does have better companions, but i used mods to skip the HoMM shit and the Rogue Trader space battles. i wish Owlcat would cut that minigame shit out.
>>740704472The first game is a glorified visual novel with some of the worst combat mechanics ever.Owlcat still didnt make a single game that I could call good, let alone great.Hack studio.
>>740714074I wish they put more focus on that. Kingdom Management in Kingmaker was great. Strategy + cRPG is the best mix in gaming. I hope this >>740709698>many have been asking foris expanded realm management
>>740713941I'd rather have RT combat than prebuffing ritual shit
>>740713941the combat was fun to solve but once your setup is online you just win turn 1 every fight and that's really boring
>>740713765>RT the best squad out of all crpgsnah
>>740713993Necron is a xeno. And necron is the only xeno companion I wouldn't mind. I would even keep the elves alive for such an occasion. imagine the seethe
>>740714074Dark Heresy has a gret mini game. though i would hardly call it mini, since it's essencial to the game>>740714285While I personally would love that I doubt many people have asked for it
>>740706810>They sabotaged this dlc by picking redundant companionGW did with their retarded notion that ever fucking single videogame has to push their current line of minis.It happened with Arbites, it's happening with mechanicus, fucking retards.
>>740714439It's xeno but I mean it could either be someone broken out of the vault or it's a necron that joins up for whatever reason
Trazyn is obviously skinwearing the floating fat dude
>>740704472niggers
>>740704472Admech fatshit companion in combination with lame nucrons.
>>740712339>>if they le believe it works the it le does XD SO CRAZY WHAAAGWe've gone full circle with people having a knee jerk reaction to ork psychic powers.Yes, shit happens because they think it does, yes, it's canon, what's over the top is the whole "the emprah is alive because they think he is" or other meme horseshit, but we do have example of a giant nob standing next to a sororitas who didn't notice because he was wearing purple, or a warboss on a stompa pushing a button not connected to anything launching all the rokkits, or orks breathing in space cause they forgot they can't.It's canon, if you can't deal with it it's your problem.
>>740714573i'm not really interested in Dark Heresy after playing RT. i'd rather Owlcat go back to making Pathfinder games or have a go at Warhammer Fantasy. 40k jerks off humans a lot.
>>740716297>40k jerks off humans a lot.Literally every setting with multiple species jerks off humans as mommy's special boys
>>740704472>companion is a fucking NTR villain-tier fat bastard>sell first season pass as being valid for 3 DLCs only to then change its description to 2 so you can sell DLCs #3 and #4 as a new season passOwlcat shitassery on both counts.
>>740716464not really
>>740716713>>sell first season pass as being valid for 3 DLCsThey never did that
>>740716713This never happenedDLC 3&4 were not announced until Lex ImperialisAt best you are thinking of meme Voidfarer Pack
>>740716297Humans are literally losing in 40k and past their golden age, unlike in Fantasy40k is intentionally depressive setting where everyone and everything is dying
>>74070543510000x this, I fucking hate this endless dlc bullshit
What are the chances they'll ever do Age of sigmar and just whipe the entire galaxy out with tyranids or what have you only to start fresh?
>>7407174370%
>>740704472is this an rpg or tactics game like mechanicus?
>>740717669it's fully turn based cRPG
>>740704472Ive played this game 3 times but drop it at Chapter 3 every time. Id actualy do a 4th run over but there is still a 3rd DLC a year away? Are you fucking nuts owlcat.
>>740716297I agree, never thought of Warhammer fantasy, that be fucking based.
>>740711072Honestly the Arbites DLC should have been about that, missions that require more fucking with your colony worlds to uncover a grand mystery.But since they can't do that, they would need to do a DLC whose sole purpose is expanding upon existing characters, like the Heinrix portions could be that.
>>740713941>>740714328>>740714314I honestly think Rogue Trader could have benefited from borrowing from like FFT or something in terms of combat.But they're also coming from a TTRPG where combat is meant to be brutal and fast so it's really hard to make it anything but that without ruining the feel.
>>740717119yeah but they're the center of the universe and if you ask for a game or even for a character who isn't human to be playable in the games 40k niggas will appear to call you a faggot and tell you "that's not lore friendly." it's annoying.
>>740704472I am waiting for Evie not really interested in the ugly fat mech companion
>>740716297I would love a Warhammer Fantasy CRPG, but I don't know who would allow it.GW would want to force all sorts of new shit in there.Like "The Old World" takes place during the time of three emperors, which means it should have all of the weird and wacky shit from WFRP1e in there, but it's not going to.
>>740719567There is an issue that this paradigm has existed since the fucking 70s. Famously D&D writers chafed around the fact that Gygax (and later other people in charge of the franchise) insisted that humans must always be the best at anything in the long run even if other races get bonuses early, because humancentric writing is what sells! This is why despite the fact that logically speaking elves should be super wizards and shit, the best wizards in most D&D settings are humans, same with the best warriors, and so on. This same style/view is carried over into all sorts of other writing and has become such a standard trope that the people who rebel against it do it in the most stupid/juvenile of ways so it ends up being shit.Now that I think about it, I would love a Palladium Rifts cRPG. Rifts is a setting where North America, Europe, East Asia, and Australia hit a golden age, with South America and Africa lagging behind but advancing, up until a conflict between Columbia and North America started a new cold war, which eventually led to two South American countries nuking each other during a celestial alignment that exploded magic back into the world. Magic exploding back into the world created such a chain reaction that the eponymous rifts to other realities and universes opened up across the planet, dumping out loads of aliens, gods, monsters, and even entire environments onto the earth and destroying critical infrastructure everywhere. In the in-universe timeline it's believed to be 200 years since then (actually 300), there's something like 300 million humans left across the entire planet, and it's a combination of everything a kid in the 80s though was cool in one setting. Though I don't know who would want to touch that IP given one of the most important factions in the setting are fascists who literally model themselves after the Nazis, as they're both one of the more evil factions and also humanity's best chance.
>>740717669It's crpg. Turn based combat, exploration, companions with personal quests etc. The full monty
>>740704472DLC for super long games will never be hype
>>740718712Uncovering the geenstealer cults on Dargonus should have been more than just a couple of projects and Heinrix should have been far more involved in it. Also Ulfar maybe
>>740705435This, just give me the final fucking product please
>>740722157Would have been interesting to have a few missions where you have to pick between Heinrix's cold and efficient methods or Argenta's BURN THE MUTANTS, LEAD PEOPLE IN PRAYER, GOD EMPRAH PROTECTS methods, and if you didn't take care of it fast enough (or made some bad decisions during the ground missions/investigation) then in Act 4 Ulfar would have a nuke it from orbit option.
>>740704472I'll wait for a mod thatets you disable all body mod visuals
>>740717802>>740721806cool
>>740704472>What went so wrong?It is turn based garbage.
>>740705435This pretty much. I already beat the game at launch and it's too long to play it 3 times. The next time I play it will be the last and I want the finished product first
>>740720931yeah, but like, D&D doesn't have to bend it's lore over backwards to have multiple races in a bar drinking together or to introduce a party with a buncha different races in it. 40k has to jump through a buncha hoops to get two aliens on a ship with hundreds of thousands of people on it. that shit is boring.
>>740723972>RTWP shillPoE flopped
>>740724405>D&D doesn't have to bend it's lore over backwards to have multiple races in a bar drinking together or to introduce a party with a buncha different races in it. 40k has to jump through a buncha hoops to get two aliens on a ship with hundreds of thousands of people on it. that shit is boring.I think they're both two extremes of the same problem.D&D, especially newer D&D, has the problem that races might as well not exist because there are no worthwhile differences about culture/setting to add friction to them and have reasons why they wouldn't want to be around each other.40k has the issue that they want to constantly remind you that everyone hates everyone... except when they don't. Which makes it more interesting when they work together, but also makes it so the setting strains every time you bring one of your pet xenos literally anywhere.
>>740704472personally I'm waiting for all of the dlc to come out before starting a second playthrough
Oh they added the achievements already, I'm looking forward to it but I really don't know what to expect plus people seem to think it's in Act 4 which means playing through most of the game again
>>740723972Playing WotR I was pissed the battles were not designed for turn based.Playing Rogue Trader I was pissed having to always mop up in turn based.Give me a turn based thats over when the battles been clearly won, or a hybrid thats actually meant for turn based.
>>740725565interesting spoilers, if quite predictableTrazyn's collection most likely will be released and FFA will ensure
>>740718186same but chapter 2. Still put 180 hours into it. Probably gonna give it another go when this DLC drops, then quit again, and give it one final try when the last dlc drops.
I sincerely do not give a fuck about companion dlc. The original companions already had no content. Should've improved that instead of making new ones.
>>740727469it's not a companion dlc, chud. the companion is a secondary feature
>>740727469This. Argenta stops existing after Ch1.
>>740727726What does she do there that she doesn't do elsewhere, I don't remember much interaction from her in Chapter 1 to be honest other than the orphans which is just part of her quest
>>740709821>I just like some Good Old Games, anonnot any more you don't HAHAH
>>740727647HOW ABOUT YOU INCLUDE SOME VANILLA COMPANIONS CONTENT AS A SECONDARY FEATURE INSTEAD, YOU FUCKING CUNT, EH??? HOW ABOUT THAT, YOU SLAV FUCKING SHIT?!
>>740728747Well, she and Idira have an exchange at the chaotic lens, which is cool
>>740727469I would care if they actually added Xenos, which is all squad really needs. Instead they made 3 humans - kebab and solobore who are dogmachuds at that. This is utterly pointless since Dogmatic character had already enough companions. It's a complete waste. All 3 dlcs would be better off without completely redundant companion diverting resources from actual content at this point.All dlcs so far are also random sidequests really. What RT actually needs is reworking/expansion of what is already in game. I'd legit pay even for a dlc which unfucks companion quests by expanding them and making them more indepth, rather than having it left as is now. Or adding more content with other Rogue Traders, since they do fuckall between their introduction at the end of Act 2 and you going to solve a single quest related to them in Ac 4. This is hardly a rivalry. Having more politicking in your realm would be fitting too with those nobles and help AbelardArgenta especially feels pathetic with her quest which is completely offscreen. At the very least you should be able to play as her in that ship during her trial of faith.Stuff like thisAlso there is not enough Rogue Tradering in general. We can only colonize a single fucking planet. Can't even do anything with that weird corrupted world. Expanse map is big and there are barely any systems in game. Expand this too.
>>740730648>Having more politicking in your realm would be fitting too with those nobles and help AbelardI'm 100% positive there was supposed to be another act between 2 and 3 precisely with that
>>740704472>its another male companion>its another human companion>its another admech companion>its (probably) another dogmatic companionAll the DLC companions have been shit, but this one seems the shittiest so far. Unless he has some crazy twist like being a Necron or some shit then I don't care.>>740713765Literally everything you said is wrong, faggot.
>>740708259Copium?
>>740731218I don't think he's Dogmatic but they're idiots and made Heretical purely Chaos based instead of including xenos so he might be classed as it, it's not like it matters because you can probably convert him whatever way you want
>>740731487He sounds like iconoclast desu. Iconoclast shouldn't have been "le let's be fwends everyone". It should have been "fuck yo rules!" with all the good and the bad that comes with this
>GW mandated admech DLCMiss me with this corpo slop desu
I will be purchasing it on launch regardless. Honestly, I don't really care what the Companion actually is. I will still play for new story content. I'm also cautiously interested in Augments; since they aren't adding any new archetypes, I'm presuming that augments are diverse enough to effectively function as a new archetypes-worth of options, but for every class and companion instead of just a few. I am cautiously optimistic.
>>740734274The power creep is gonna be insane. Somehow worse than it already is.
is this the last dlc?
>>740704472I want dev studios to be punished for adding dogshit characters. It long since reached the point where it's not subjective taste, niche or even just bad design, but literally that not a single person in the entire world went>Oh boy, I hope they add [random shitter archetype #5463] to the game!If you design a character and can't imagine a single person who goes>That's my favorite character!you failed and should start over. I get that they were probably mandated to add a Mechanicus character (as is apparently every other 40k game currently) to shill the faction, but that's no excuse for such a horrendous redundant character. And Owlcat already has a track record of wasting slots on>Who asked for this?tier characters, so at this point I just gotta assume they do marketing research projects to figure out the most appealing character archetypes so that they can maximize wasted efforts by creating the very opposite of that.
>no Ork Freeboota companion>no wisecracking Necron robot pal>no Taugirl waifu>no lil monke fella
>>7407346961 more dlc after this one. That's the one which is likely to be the last unless there is suddenly a massive amount of sales for these last 2 dlcs from what they've said.Though considering the companion being added in this one is just "fat admech guy" they aren't exactly trying their best to get the sales they would need to justify more dlc for RT.
>>740739350Feels the same as CA putting a skeleton crew on W3 while they work in their next real cash cow.
