I feel the same way about Warhammer - it's just so idiotic. I want to say it's a parody, but it really isn't; it takes itself so seriously that it kind of parodies itself.

The real 1.0 isn't reached until they release an "enhanced edition" and start selling the game at full new-release price in about 5 years from now
>>
>>3673943
I've made it through to chapter 4 and only encountered minor bugs so far. Some are annoying but nothing that's stopped me from enjoying the game. Things like the Operative ability Expose Weakness only reducing enemy dodge and armour by 18% rather than 60% or the Eldar companion behaving as if we saved her compatriots when we actually gunned them down in a forest clearing.

>>3671276
People on the internet love Warhammer and 40k because of the feels. People IRL love them because of market dominance: anywhere people are playing tabletope wargames, you can finding them playing 40k. As for the licensed tabletop RPG, I'm very a familiar with them as a former Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader fan. They have a cult following (see /tg/ for constant discussion about them, but they're very shitty systems that got shat out by Fantasy Flight Games (who are known for thier boardgames) with minimal playtesting, even less editing, and generous portion of copypasta. IMHO, they're even worse than D&D which is basically a zombie animated by nostalgia and Hasbro money at this point.

The only point where they do work is with the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Somehow, the system and style of play associated with that game just works though it won't be to many people's tastes. The newer fourth edition is more a sidegrade to the second one.

As for Rogue Trader, I'm happy Owlcat threw out most of the original mechanics. That shit was clunky and didn't really inspire a lot of build diversity. The only sad part is the loss of original enemies like the Rak'Gol, Styrxis, and Yu'vath. Feels like someone in the writing department of the old tabletop games really wanted to make something original, lore-wise, for these mini-settings.
>>
>>3676413
I'd be nice if they left it to cook for another year at least. Shit has a hive fleet worth of bugs even after all this patching.
>>
>>3676422
I mean, coming from the tabletop, I fully expected this to be a LONG cooking session. The original rules were GARBAGE and no one from /tg/ will convince me otherwise. They make D&D 3.5 and PF 1e look elegant by comparison. Nevertheless, I expect that making Rogue Trader will actually be a net positive for Owlcat because they'll have to make more original mechanics rather than relying a system that mostly already works. If they keep making 40k stuff, though, I hope do something related to Dark Heresy (Inquisition based).

When they give the rights to use the IP, GW probably stipulates that the devs have to use factions that have a corresponding army in the tabletop game. They don't want people's introduction to the setting to involve Rak'Gol, they want it to involve Chaos and Necrons so they will buy the models. Unfortunately this results in the setting feeling kind of small and lacking in diversity.

Realms of Ruin was a badly designed game from the start.
If they had to do something with it, they should've made it like the 1st Dawn of War from the get-go.
Then the game would've sold more.
But it shipped as it shipped.
And the setting is shit too.

Owlcat releases games that are buggy and unfinished, and you should probably wait for the “enhanced edition” after it’s finished getting all the patches and DLC it’s gonna get.
>>
>>3686012
wasnt this released a year ago? should be patched enough by now to playable no? theres nothing else to play
should I play on Hard or Brutal
>>
>>3686014
It’s been out for a while. I haven’t kept up on it since I’m waiting. WotR was virtually unplayable for six months or so
>>
>>3686014
It's still buggy af. Unfair is well, unfair but that's the only difficulty that makes your combats last longer than turn 0.
>>
>>3686014
I've got through to Act 4 and while there a still a few bugs, I haven't come across anything game-breaking or even particularly frustrating.

It's a good game and it's worth playing. I'd start off on Hard.

I need to know when they inevitably do the ultimate edition will they update the basic one like wrath? Have they said anything regarding this? On resellers is 15+10 for all the dlc and it's a good deal imho.

>making shit up
It's true, the director didn't read the book, it is he who missed the point of the book and decided to make his own. It's not even the worst thing about it (the jew corrupting the work of his betters), it's how every single game adaptation follows the movie and not the novel.
Also, watch the OVA, it's fantastic.
>>
>>3686372
>the director didn't read the book
I know. But he never said he hated it, hence Anon making shit up.

They already had the general plot and script, the ST brand was an afterthought from the producers. Also the movie is sarcastic, which was the point that Anon missed.

>watch the OVA, it's fantastic.
Not the first one, which is awful. Guess you mean the 3D CGI one.
>>
>>3686587
>But he never said he hated it
He didn't read it in its entirety because he became disgusted with it after the first chapter or so. Saying he didn't like it is far from lying.
> Also the movie is sarcastic
I can't get over it how retarded Verhoeven was with the recruiter scene. In the book, his purpose was to scare off unmotivated recruits, the military tries to deter them from joining at every step. Later on it was revealed the guy was fully functional despite his injuries thanks to prosthetics.

>Not the first one, which is awful.
Bad taste. The only bad thing I can say about it is it's too short and the ending is way too abrupt.

Just get it bro. They did a pretty big rebalance and bug sweep when they released the DLC which wasn't all that long ago. If they're going to another one it won't be for a long while.
>>
>>3686587
>Verhoeven infamously stated that he didn’t read the book except for a few pages (he said it was boring), he had a peon read it and summarize it for him. Verhoeven even said he set out to make a film that was such an affront to the book that fans of the book would be insulted by it.
> Robert Heinlein’s widow was so outraged at the final product that she got Robert’s name pulled from the credits. Verhoeven’s script was originally titled “Bug Hunt on Planet Nine” or “Bug War” depending on what reports you read. The Starship Troopers appellation was added later in the production to capitalize on the presence of some built-in fandom, however small.
>>
>>3671276
Nice bait thread, but I'll bite a little bit.

I did not used to like Warhammer at all, and in t he case of Warhammer 40k I only used to like a few Dan Abnett novels (and none of the actual tabletop game, literally just the novels).
There were tons of other better more fleshed out and well rounded settings to enjoy back then, there were other better ttrpgs and crpgs.

Do you see where I'm going with that?

There aren't other better rpg settings anymore, or they're very few and far in between, or they've evolved into something else that doesn't really fit a crpg mold anymore and the companies that used to make great crpgs have also largely gone in the toilet. Now we have Owlcat shit instead and Games Workshop's IP is one of the only ones that haven't been run into the ground over the last decade or so and that's why people love it, its the only one left after all the better ones have gone to ruin.
>>
>>3686659
NTA, and I have read the book. The movie is only loosely based on the book, but as an adaptation it wraps back around the scale and goes from bad to accidentally nailing it. Likewise, everyone loves Blade Runner, but it’s also only very loosely based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, with only the setting and premise remaining intact, with much of the plot and details being entirely different.
>>
>>3686744
>loosely based on the book
If it was called by any other name and if it didn't have that one single school scene that was never expanded upon you wouldn't even make the connection. Surprisingly even the action scenes don't fit since Heinlein never once mentioned a gun of any sort.

Fair enough. That was rude of me.

I'm not normally one of those people who has a problem with AI art. Those just bothered me for some reason.
I think it's maybe the lighting. Or maybe just 40k art having a place in my childhood.

Yeah, the difficulty in this game doesn't keep up.
I'm coming toward the end of chapter 4 and even playing on unfair it's been a while since I've had a fight where the enemy got a single turn. Grand Strategist Cassia was a mistake - starting every combat with a barrage of navigator powers, Bring It Down and Finest Hour is too much.

Classically it'd be a bolt pistol and a melee weapon. A weapon set they can use for leading inspiring charges and summary executions of those whose courage wavers.
Bolters, shotguns, lasguns and any human/Imperial-made pistol would be appropriate too. Flamers, melta guns, plasma guns and heavy weapons would be unusual.

You probably shouldn't take Eldar/Dark Eldar weapon proficiency but I guess if pic related can have an Ork weapon grafted to his wrist then you could justify it.

Is it worth to spec both weapons like improved chain and improved bolt or just focus on just one and using the other just for fun? Or using the two weapon fighting? I am afraid to run out of talents for more needed stuff. I am going full blind so i don't exactly know what i am doing.
>>
>>3688125
Forgot to add also the upgrade in both bs ws (i am officer).
>>
>>3688125
>Is it worth to spec both weapons ... or just focus on just one and using the other just for fun?
I didn't take any of the Improved X talents until right toward the end of the game. Didn't want to lock myself into one weapon type and there always seemed better talents available desu.
The dual-weapon combat talent is probably worth it though. IIRC there's an officer talent that buffs your Fel when you attack and the dual-weapon talent gives you an extra attack/round. Eats up action points though so may don't get it until you've levelled enough to get some action point increases.

More generally though, my instinct is that focusing primarily on one is going to be more effective.
You're already splitting yourself between Fel+Officer-style team support talents vs WS or BS+combat talents. And it's not just WS or BS you need to be effective in combat, you might also want Per to counter dodge, Agi and/or Tgh to keep yourself alive, etc.
With that in mind, you can get some decent value out of your secondary weapon even if you don't focus on it. For example, just holding a sword gives you a chance to parry melee attacks even if you never put a point in WS (and there are some items which let you turn your parries into counter-attacks), your parry % won't be great but anything's better than nothing. Or you could focus purely on melee and choose a pistol where your BS doesn't matter so much (bolt-pistol+blessed bolt casing auto-hits single shot attacks, AoE pistols like hand flamers or inferno pistols hit even when you roll a 'miss' - they just do half-damage).

Hack writers who think they're smarter than the setting. Sadly, almost all warhammer (either) writing suffers from this outside random bits hidden in manuals and rulebooks.

Does the executioner archetype works with flamers dot? Or it's just the bleeding one? Because i use a flamer on argenta and basically i have a shitton of dot active at every encounter.

I do wish there was slightly more to archetypes, but I like the more limited class development. It solves my decision paralysis and restartitis problem with pathfinder.
Character models matching portraits is also a nice touch.

pathfinder has like 20 feats everyone uses

>>3688667
But a ton of class combinations

>>3688676
You could easily remove half of the classes and all of the archetypes from pathfinder, they’re just bloat.
>>
>>3688677
Nah some of the archetypes are amazingly fun. You could remove half the archetypes though

It works with everything. Burn from flamers or crits, toxin from splinter rifles or Heinrix's biophysical distortion, and even warp burn from Cass' Immolate the Soul (which is counted as a separate DOT to conventional fire).

Two weapon fighting is there for the AP economy and flexibility. If you're playing something like AM that has like 4 attack actions per turn they can do without but especially early game or on something starved for said attack actions like an operative it's quite nice. Focusing on both weapon types is an overkill and the pistol is best used to reach out and touch somebody out of your melee range or to proc effects such as tide of excellence or stack dots or such. If you want the pistol to be your main weapon you might as well go dual pistols.

>AoE pistols like hand flamers or inferno pistols hit even when you roll a 'miss' - they just do half-damage).
That's not remotely true

"classically" it would be a las pistol and a chainsword you larping fuck

Cain and Gaunt both used bolt pistols and the *blam* meme was around over a decade ago, faggot.

For the life of me I cannot stand the fucking combat design around this game. I've played through all of the other Pathfinder games and fucking hated them too; I only got through them as playing monk is just point and click adventure

This min-max bullsht on the other hand just has so little explanations of everything its aids
>Just read a guide bro
Im already reading a fucking novel playing this game, I'm not reading another just trying to figure the combat out whilst in chapter 2

If you play on the normal difficulty you don't have to be autistic, just pick the abilities that make sense and increase DPS for the character

Anon RT is the easiest CRPG I have ever played, and I'm not an autistic min-max muh numbers nerd. In fact, it's too easy, which makes it really annoying.

It seems Argenta is really OP, I can have all other characters dick around while she snipes everything. The Officer buffs where characters get extra turns feels really brroken.
So far the only "difficulty" comes from gimmicks like
>don't walk in the electricity or your character dies
>kill the summoners in x rounds or the place blows up and its game over
>>
>>3689289
nta but ciaphas cain never used a bolt pistol

>>3689714
there are a couple of nasty encounters if you're not up to snuff but unless you're playing on unfair it's pretty much a cakewalk

Nigga, if you need to read a guide to understand which numbers you need to make higher in either PF or RT, you might just be fucking retarded. Run of the mill CRPGs are not hard, you just have to comprehend what is written. The only thing you can blame in case of those games is shit not working, for Owlcat has really hard time getting everything to work properly on release. Fuck, nowadays it seems like every single fucking RPG is broken when it releases because those games are fucking complicated and testers are too small of a sample to catch everything and some bugs can have causes so deep in the code that it might take months before somebody locates the source of the problem.

OK I'm about to give up on this game. Please tell me it gets better.
The combat encounter design is shot. I play on Unfair but some of the enemies are bullet sponges, they bottleneck themeselves on a stairway removing all challenge from the fight, my tank is invincible, and absorbs endless hits, but the units its tanking have far too much HP so the battle becomes a 3 hour grindfest chipping away at a units HP. Its the sloppiest encounter design I've ever seen in an RPG. Just careless.
So they let you change difficulty during combat to 'fix' the broken design, which is the only way to get rid of these bullet sponge demons without wasting 2 hours. There's no tactical challenge, but changing the difficulty mid-battle removes all integrity from the game. I'm so disappointed
>>
>>3691292
Sorry but that's pretty much it
>>
>>3691292
Difficulty in this game is whack but I can't say I've ever had problems with enemies taking too long to kill. Definitely wouldn't consider many, if any, of the enemies simple bullet sponges.
It sounds like you've prioritised survivability in your character's build at the expense of doing damage.
>>
>>3691303
yeah I thought that might be the case. I have two tanks and Argenta handles all the dps but I'm up against the Chaos Marine and she does 9 dps per hit but he has 1000 hp. none of the other characters can hit him. guess I'll need to get rid of a tank, whats a good dps class to replace?
>>
>>3691305
I'm guessing your problem with the CSM would be deflection and, to a lesser extent, armour. Since deflection is a flat reduction of damage from every hit, characters built for dps via attacks/round can struggle with it.
I'd recommend an operative. Their high damage single shot attacks mean deflection matters less and they've got a number of class abilities that strip armour both for their own attacks and allies. I found Pasqual > Idira but I didn't put much effort into optimising her heretical ass, I think her psychic attacks have the advantage of ignoring armour but Pasqual just seemed better.

Alternatively, just give your tank (I'm assuming warrior?) a few more offensively focused talents over the next level ups or make Argentas second weapon set something with higher damage and/or armour pen. I dunno if you've come across the Assault Lasgun yet but I had her carrying that for a while.

And Pathfinder's kitchen sink setting isn't? Especially with all the late-1e and 2e woke shit regarding gods, characters, retcons and situations cranked up?

Warhammer 40k (and even Fantasy still) are significantly bigger brands than Pathfinder. They would be retarded to not dip their toes in that playerbase. Happened with CA's Total War Warhammer series as well.
Don't get me wrong, I would enjoy a 3rd Pathfinder 1e game set in one of their good APs, but I'm not going to discredit an entire franchise because I don't get it.

nta but you should try on unfair to see what he's talking about. The dlc gangsters during the kibbelah quest had like 200HP and ~100TW while my abelard had ~36HP. Each of those daemonettes on janus had around 760-800 and reduced your WS by stacking 20 for each when adjacent. One random encounter had fucked up servitors with HP well in the 2-3k range. I knew how to deal with them but this was my 15th or so run so that's different than someone larping ciaphas caine and not building right for that bullshit.
>>
>>3673759
It was a light headed parody until 2004 or so.
I blame 9/11 for edgyness and taking everything too seriously. Modern 40k is basically teen friendly Disney cartoon and edgy kids of 2000s are mad because it's not GRIMDARK enough. Every decade has it's own 40k.

does that mean the game is worth playing through at least once?? i am still debating. im gonna have to switch to Hard to get past the sticky parts. its pretty lame they allow you to change difficulty mid-combat
>>
>>3691894
That's your call man but my take is that it drops off hard during and after cumrag. That said I get off on tinkering and tweaking builds and combat can be decently fun if you ramp it up and don't cheese it with say half a dozen officers.

>sticky
The stickiest part I had in total was a pre nerf random CSM that would fire off a 8-12 heavy bolter burst interrupt on each crit any of my people made from half the map away. And let me tell you, being cramped up in a 2-tile wide area when someone is wailing 40+ bursts down the line because you just unloaded 40+ mini crits from your heavy stubber ain't a lot of fun. ie my each shot in a massive burst that critted, and each one did, was interrupted by his full burst.

Anon, do you remember the first trailer for the game? It had soldiers in a unit moving perfectly in unison, be it the bulky Sigmarines or rowdy Ork-kuns (or whatever trademark name the GW came up for them). That looked so unnatural. Maybe they fixed it but the fact that this shit got into the trailer in the first place was an alarming ring. The gameplay also didn't look all that cool. They probably should have spent more mone on quality than on shills.
