One of the big problems I had with the Pathfinder games starting out was trying to understand what all the terms meant as someone who never played Pathfinder or DnD. As a Warhammer player it is nice to be able to recognise some of the terms used here, I think it will make the game a bit more approachable for me. Also, that's presumably why they use the term "wounds" for HP, because that's the term they use in the tabletop game.
Pathfinder WOTR was also my first contact with anything DnD ever. And boi, did I get my Gonats kicked hard by that game. I somehow struggled my ass into Act 4 but even on easy my party gets wiped by normal encounters. Baldurs Gate 3 was better but even there I still struggle with terminology. But Warhammer? Now this I know.
@@frowny5460 Pathfinder aren't easy games. Especially the 3E ruleset you have a lot of way to fuck yourself over and lack the tools to deal with combat.
It helps that Rogue Trader allows you to (sometimes) see what something does by mousing over it. You can usually right-click on something like an item to get an expanded description, and mousing over terms (sometimes) gives you more information about what it means/does.

What's the difference between 40k universe and fantasy WH? My co-workers they play tabletop games and they "explained" it to me however, to my demise it is very broad. @@grey_wulf
Really keen to see how Owlcat delivers this time. I've never played warhammer, video game or tabletop form, but will still grab this due to my immense enjoyment of WotR
Its very different to how d&d/pathfinder plays. Warhammer 40k is a war game not a Roleplaying game with fighting if you know what i mean, the tabletop is still really fun and the world and lore is amazing. If you want to get a real understanding to how the gameplay will feel you should see people playing the tabletop on youtube, from the gameplay fights ive seen its quite similar to the tabletop. I hope you have fun with it and i hope it will be a great entry point into Warhammer 40K in general!
I find Grim Dark very hard to get into. Completely hopeless environment where your every action is doomed to failure. It has a VERY different vibe from Pathfinder in this sense.
@@NNikolaiiiHentai - There have been Warhammer tabletop RPGs since around 1986. Most of them use some form of this percentile system. The Rogue Trader RPG came out around '08 or '09 but was still based on the core rules from the original Warhammer Fantasy RPG (now on it's 4th edition).
Really appreciate the "mow through the minions, use power-ups against the bosses" flow to combat. It gets really interesting when you face a boss who eats his own minions to power himself up, and you and the boss are racing to see who can kill the most minions. XD
I'm an old timey Warhammer fan, and I think we're a good couple of decades overdue for some cRPGs in the two settings. 40k especially because it's not a strict fantasy like what we normally see in cRPGs, plus the lore is so much fun. Owlcat makes good games, too, so I've been really looking forward to this. Now all we need are some Warhammer games that aren't so human-centric!
I found out today that Willpower, the stat that determines how resistant to the madness of the 40K universe and how long you can hold onto hope... is a dumpstat. This makes complete sense in Lore to explain why there is Chaos everywhere. 😂
Its probably like Wisdom in dnd, you'll only really pump it if your class uses it as a spellcasting stat, but dumping it will probably lead to a lot of sadness.
I mean if you’re not a Psyker there’s really no reason to use it in the game. Most people in-universe probably do have a low to average willpower score, and the psykers that have a shit score either got sacrificed to the Emperor or got transformed into a demonic portal
Dark Heresy is like Call of Cthulhu, but you have two madness gauges at once. Don't dump Willpower. I suppose, a video game where you fight daemons every other random encounter would become unplayable if it made you roll permadeath saves every time you see a daemon...
So excited for this game, I actually like the fact that it has a simpler game system than Pathfinder. Thanks for the reviews as usual, you always get me hyped Mortym 😂
I haven't played the beta of Rogue Trader yet, but I am a proud owner of all the Black Industries/Fantasy Flight tabletop RPGs, whose ruleset this game seems to run on. Those rules are in turn derived from the 40K tabletop rules from the golden era of the 2000s. As a result, this is all like coming home for an aging Grognard.
Great video! Well organised information, clearly presented, as usual. Looks like your subs are growing nicely too, so I'm not alone noticing the quality. Keep going, ignore any eejits and good luck with your channel!
I see in your inventory that your character has a helmet, but it is not being displayed, whereas it looks like your armor is being displayed. Is there an option to show/hide your helmet?
there has been one in virtually every c-rpgs of the last decade including the two pathfinders games by the same creator, so I'm pretty confident about this at least...

This sis so true. I stopped playing PathFinder a little bit after the tutorial. It was so based on a tabletop game I've never played before, that it kept me away from finishing or trying it again at all.
I love Warhammer lore, so this game is something I'm really looking forward to. Looks great too, and it seems like I'll enjoy the gameplay as well, so hopefully the performance and story are good and it'll be an overall winner.
I’ve never been really into war hammer, at least the lore side. Years ago a played the mmo and I do paint a decent amount of the minis because I hate money. That said with owlcat’s track record I’m looking forward to getting more into the universe.
Thats something i find incredible about warhammer. Ive 0 minis, and love the lore, and could not care less for the tatical games, and theres ppl like you that love to paint the minis and dont play etc.
Thanks for guide I recently bought Rogue Trader for a change of setting from the usual fantasy CRPGs not knowing the rules of the table top rpg I was bit flummoxed by Rogue Trader . I'm not finding it as accessible as the Pathfinder games due my little knowledge of 40k universe lore what I find daunting but will persevere with the game
What I generally don't like in BG3/Pathfinder is the restriction of casting. I just don't like it when most spells can only be cast a certain amount of times every day. Rogue Trader works different (better for Me).
Always so grateful for your combat basics guides from wotr to rogue trader for I have no experience in both systems. I am so looking forward to this game and also the wotr dlc which I can enjoy before rogue trader.
After playing Owlcats previous games Im confident they will handle the effects of a bolter when shooting a human size target. The projectile is more a small rocket then a bullet. Thankfully its not a Space Marine focused game, there is so much to the lore that most people miss, so many good dark sci fi stories in the lore.
Pathfinder games biggest problem for me is that to max out your party you need to drop aprox 100 buffs before the encounter starts and that's just such a time-eater.
I’m gonna need so much help on this game I really appreciate these videos. It’s not like pathfinder or bg3 where I understand the basics this game is in a universe I don’t know
Best way to learn the ins and outs of any game, at least for me, is to read all the tooltips. If the tooltips are done well, then they explain how it works internally. It looks like they did pretty well with that in this one. 👍

The universe its great... if you put one thing in your mind. Theres no good guys. And the game... its kinda easy if youre not aiming for the higher difficults. But that been said if you enjoy the lore of the universe you will have to many books to read and learn more about.
Did I hear you right on your last video? Injury and trauma does not go away after resting/returning to your ship? Is there a method to heal injury and trauma?
Only after get back to your ship to heal traumas. Injurys heal with skills and medkits. But its not that big of a deal unless youre on unfair. They are manageble... your characters can become powerhouses, plus the whole momentun system.
Do you think you can make a guide as to which skills are most useful and least useful in the game, as there are always some that just work better and others than rarely are useful? For example is Persuasion more useful than Coercion or Medicae more than Logic? Which Lore seems to be the best?
First good thing to know: the member of the group with the highest skill does the check, so you can dispatch specialties among your team of 6. Recommended to have your protagonist cover somes though. - Persuasion will probably be the queen of skills... again. With coercion as an alternative for rps. - Demolition is the closest we get to lockpicking and trap disabling so pretty indispensable - Awareness... do I even have to explain? - Medicae allows you to use better kits and treat graver wounds, so useful - The various lore skills under intelligence seem to unlock dialogue options and various kind of interactions. You can't master them all so be sure to bring a character or companion with high intelligence. Logic seems especially important.
Are you able to recruit any eldar in this game? What about any other non humans? I wish there were more 40k games where humans were not the focus. I am looking forward to this game though. It looks like it is going to be great.
Are there abilities to "restore" the veil/"calm" the warp? Does the value naturally go down every turn if nobody uses a psychic power? Or is it basically a threshold that once crossed, sets the entire battle on hell mode?
This looks awesome, thanks for these videos - unlike Pathfinder and Wrath, I've stayed away from early access and am going in for the first time at launch. The visual presentation (art style, animation, effects, etc.) looks outstanding to me, just incredible stuff, and the combat seems like it will be on the level of satisfying as something like Midnight Suns - lots of crunchy, tactical goodness and fun abilities and weaons to use against powerful and interesting foes. I hope the RPG/choice/consequences stuff is as engaging as what I've seen of the rest of the game so far - this looks like a real winner.
Seems a much simpler cRPG than Pathfinder was, but of course, still with enough complexity to keep you on your toes. I enjoyed the beta very much from what little I've played (not to spoil myself too much), the release version is looking even better now with all the features (nearly) finished. Great Video as always!
Hi, it will be nice when build vids start going out, I really hope they add to the descriptions of feats and items what the requirements of use are. In the old version you can't see when you can take some feats, can't see all the options until you qualify for them and it is not stated anywhere that to be able to take xeno weapon feats you need at least one 5 point in lore(xeno) and to use a med kit you need one 5 point in medicae.
i really wanted to like WOTR but just couldn't get into it, never really clicked with me even after 20 hours of playing, but as a 40k fan i'm really excited for this game and hoping for the best
This game was in my "yeah, need to check this sometime" -radar but now that I know its turn based and bit more accessible this game skyrocketed to number one in my waiting list.
MORT! Will you please make a list of good CRPGs on Game Pass or Consoles in general? I’m trying to get into them but I can’t afford a PC that runs any decent games 😞 I’ve played PoE on GamePass and Wasteland 3 I purchased for Xbox.
Hey Man quick question does this game have weapon rarity ???? cause there seem to be some with unique names but nothing else to show that they are legendary not even like a outer glow on the weapons like wasteland 3 or baldurs gate 3, let me know
Having played the game for a couple days now, I'll say that I found this ruleset to be really tough to get into. I've never played warhammer but I'm generally aware of D&D and have played a few sessions of that, so I at least had an understanding of the terminology going into the Pathfinder games. But Rogue trader has been tough. I'm playing the game on the lowest difficulty so I'm not just wrecked, but I've honestly been kind of overwhelmed by it. Especially during level-up, there are so many abilities that do so many different things and interact with other abilities, it makes knowing what the right choice is really difficult. It also doesn't help that there's a lot of actual math in the ability descriptions too, which is kind of intimidating. I predict it'll take me several playthroughs to actually feel confident I know what I'm doing.
explaining combat systems is one of the most basic things on yt (although understanding consequences of psyker powers is important factor (still shame that there is no tech class)) my interest is always in weapons and armors (types possibilities and potential requirements) in my playthroughs i always aim for heavy armors and then whatever i picking my interest but in 40k there are many weapons and armors (based on type and faction and element) so introduction to what is available (for now) would be appreciated what worries me is that it's less than a month to release and still no price
First of all thank you for all the information, I'm definitely liking what I've seen so far with this game and I could see myself picking it up next month. I did have a question about voice acting. I've been lead to believe this is a game with a lot of dialogue and I was wondering how much of that was voice acted.
@@MortismalGaming Thank you, that's good to know. I survived Persona 5 and that had A LOT of unvoiced dialogue, so I think ill be fine so long as the main cutscenes are all voiced.
I've been wondering does your trader change look's when you put on say a new cape or a chest piece? or are you stuck with the same outfit from character creation for the rest of the game start to finish? Diggin your videos btw great work keep it up. XD
Not exactly, toughness increases your "wounds" (=hp)(think as "constitution"), and also rules the skill that allows you to resist physical effects (think "fortitude saving throws).
Never really been into the 40k setting but very interested to see if Rogue Trader changes that. Regardless, based on this I'll almost certainly enjoy the gameplay!
Is Willpower really that worthless in the game? In the Tabletop-games its extremely important as you will need to it to resist fear (i.e lose your actions/flee) as well as resist mutations and otherwise character-breaking effects. Its basically a wis save on steroids, since you have very few cleansing abilities in a low-power setting.
I think we can expect a fair amount of annoying mental effects, especially once we start running into demons. Thing is, the comparison with wisdom is fair. Unless you play a character with abilities benefiting from it (ie psyker), that's all it does, and you'd better increase other stats.
@@benjaminthibieroz4155 In tabletop failed willpower saves will severly cripple your character though, mutations and corruption are not temporary effects.
So there is no stat which increases dmg of ranged attack? For melee, weapon skill increases attack and strengh increases dmg. For ranged, balistics increase attack/accuracy, but what about dmg?
Showing the roll log with mouse overs like Solasta and BG3 would be nice. First thing I did was to max size of that thing so I could see the mechanics.
I wonder how much we will need to look at builds to actually make a viable character. I would love to just hop in and do what I think is best. With WOTR I had to watch a build video simply for the feat prerequisites alone...
Am a big 40k nerd so looking forward to this. Enjoyed the beta but left it during Act 1 to wait for more polish, which we're seeing nicely here. Really wish the game gave you more of a feel for being a rogue trader with a literal army at your command though. Being able to call down AI controlled expendable troops whose gear you can upgrade over time and supplement with basic vehicles like sentinels would have been amazing. And 100% on point for the tabletop games where having expendable troops to be meat shields for you is necessary.
One thing I did not like about pathfinder (not an owlcat specific problem) is the requirement to constantly buff. Seems like this is the case here (makes sense it’s not based on D&D).
No real need for it as you can access damage from other sources, but also more to the point is that you're still going to one shot certain things and even bosses can take over a hundred damage from AGI based characters.
@@SteinerNein yeah I didnt doubt that there r agility based characters, was just wondering if there r agility based melee characters :P (like in other games with finess weapons in D&D)
Theres no such thing has agilitly weapons. But melee can be built with focus on Str and armor, or agility and dodge. Inclusive the assassin class its more agi focused, And from my perspective. Agile its squiser but has MUCH more move points thats a huge limiter. And melee damage its huge has it is. But theres 2 hand weapons, and 1 hand weapons. And some eldari(elven) weapons. And you can mix psyker powers with it with power weapons.
A preparation phase sounds PERFECT. So many games I can think of that need this. BG3 is a great recent example where you have your party face right in front of the the literal demon lord or an avatar of a god and then combat starts... If the game doesn't let me shout from a distance to have a conversation I should get a prep phase!
Is there any word of Owlcat releasing this system for the Tabletop? Rogue Trader itself by FFG is fine for 40k Adventures, but definitely showing its age and very clunky. An updated version would be amazing, especially with how far Owlcat seems to have departed in almost every area
That's great to hear! Is it laid out in a similar way to a rulebook? ie, could I just take screenshots of pages and like bind it? Love your content, by the way@@MortismalGaming
Feels like it would involve a lot of "stacks of this", "stacks of that", "stacks of this other stuff". Computers ok for this kind of accounting, but for table top just a couple token/coid type in the system is plenty. Luckily the original RT tabletop rules this video game is based on doesn't have the stacks of a,b,c,x,y,z.
I feel like this system, maybe easier to understand than PF, is still so odd looking, so jargon heavy and number heavy that it'll put a lot of people off.
Wow I'm disappointed it's using the grid based XCOM style combat system. Really disappointed. I was hoping for more Kingmaker style combat, with the option to do freemove or turn based.
The character building and story in the Pathfinder games is phenomenal, but the combat itself is really weak. The combat in rogue trader looks a lot more enjoyable than Pathfinder; if the character building options are even half of what was available in Pathfinder I can see rogue trader becoming one of my favorite games.
Pathfinder has a ton of trap choices as well, when it comes to character builds. I would love to see this one with a decent variety of viable builds, similar to KM/WOTR but without the needless bloat.
One of the big problems I had with the Pathfinder games starting out was trying to understand what all the terms meant as someone who never played Pathfinder or DnD. As a Warhammer player it is nice to be able to recognise some of the terms used here, I think it will make the game a bit more approachable for me.
Also, that's presumably why they use the term "wounds" for HP, because that's the term they use in the tabletop game.
You're exactly right. The tabletop rules Rogue Trader is based are essentially an expanded form of 40K 4th-5th edition.
Wounds are explained in another guide, and they are indeed hit points rebranded to fit the OG.
Pathfinder WOTR was also my first contact with anything DnD ever. And boi, did I get my Gonats kicked hard by that game. I somehow struggled my ass into Act 4 but even on easy my party gets wiped by normal encounters.
Baldurs Gate 3 was better but even there I still struggle with terminology. But Warhammer? Now this I know.

I know very little about the 40k universe, but this game is definitely something I want to try out. (I am more familiar with fantasy WH.)

I hope the RPG/choice/consequences stuff is as engaging as what I've seen of the rest of the game so far - this looks like a real winner.
Sir, stop getting me excited for this game. Thank you. 😅
I hope they send you a free copy of the game with all this content you pushing out. you have covered this game more than any other I've seen
Getting hyped for this game. The non focus on healing sounds great.
The one game I’ve really anticipated this year and it has to come out damn near the end of the year arggg.
Seems a much simpler cRPG than Pathfinder was, but of course, still with enough complexity to keep you on your toes. I enjoyed the beta very much from what little I've played (not to spoil myself too much), the release version is looking even better now with all the features (nearly) finished. Great Video as always!
Hi, it will be nice when build vids start going out, I really hope they add to the descriptions of feats and items what the requirements of use are.
In the old version you can't see when you can take some feats, can't see all the options until you qualify for them and it is not stated anywhere that to be able to take xeno weapon feats you need at least one 5 point in lore(xeno) and to use a med kit you need one 5 point in medicae.
Always nice to watch more videos from you Mortis. Keep them coming (specially the Baldur's Gate 3 ones 😂).
Thanks! really looking fwd to this game!
i really wanted to like WOTR but just couldn't get into it, never really clicked with me even after 20 hours of playing, but as a 40k fan i'm really excited for this game and hoping for the best
This game was in my "yeah, need to check this sometime" -radar but now that I know its turn based and bit more accessible this game skyrocketed to number one in my waiting list.
MORT! Will you please make a list of good CRPGs on Game Pass or Consoles in general?
I’m trying to get into them but I can’t afford a PC that runs any decent games 😞
I’ve played PoE on GamePass and Wasteland 3 I purchased for Xbox.
Hey Man quick question does this game have weapon rarity ???? cause there seem to be some with unique names but nothing else to show that they are legendary not even like a outer glow on the weapons like wasteland 3 or baldurs gate 3, let me know
Theres a tiny difference on the item icon in your inventory, the square has some indents on it
I definitely thought the game was coming out on Nov 7th instead of Dec. I'm a bit gutted today.
When I preorder on their website, will I receive a Steam-key or DRM-free?
Great overview, can’t wait to see the psychic things!
I never got much into Warhammer and especially not 40k... The developer being Owlcat and Mortim's videos have convinced me to get the game.
Can't wait to play. I need something similar but different to BG3.
Gah this game looks so freaking good!! From the aesthetics, UI, and animations it looks like they've nailed it!!
I didn't know that Willpower affected psyker power damager. The tooltip only indicates that it lowers dodge chance for powers.
i'm hyped for this game. your content is appreciated
Have you talked about the preorder items and ship? Maybe in another video?
This may be one of my favorite combat loops I've ever seen in a RPT. Very curious to see how it's received in market.
OwlCat we are ready for this awesome adventure!
Yeah!
Having played the game for a couple days now, I'll say that I found this ruleset to be really tough to get into. I've never played warhammer but I'm generally aware of D&D and have played a few sessions of that, so I at least had an understanding of the terminology going into the Pathfinder games. But Rogue trader has been tough. I'm playing the game on the lowest difficulty so I'm not just wrecked, but I've honestly been kind of overwhelmed by it. Especially during level-up, there are so many abilities that do so many different things and interact with other abilities, it makes knowing what the right choice is really difficult. It also doesn't help that there's a lot of actual math in the ability descriptions too, which is kind of intimidating. I predict it'll take me several playthroughs to actually feel confident I know what I'm doing.
ngl, I'm pretty stoked for this game.
explaining combat systems is one of the most basic things on yt (although understanding consequences of psyker powers is important factor (still shame that there is no tech class))
my interest is always in weapons and armors (types possibilities and potential requirements)
in my playthroughs i always aim for heavy armors and then whatever i picking my interest but in 40k there are many weapons and armors (based on type and faction and element) so introduction to what is available (for now) would be appreciated
what worries me is that it's less than a month to release and still no price
Not that uncommon on the price, I often get sent review one pagers etc that dont mention the price anywhere
First of all thank you for all the information, I'm definitely liking what I've seen so far with this game and I could see myself picking it up next month. I did have a question about voice acting. I've been lead to believe this is a game with a lot of dialogue and I was wondering how much of that was voice acted.
A fair bit, but not all of it much like WotR
@@MortismalGaming Thank you, that's good to know. I survived Persona 5 and that had A LOT of unvoiced dialogue, so I think ill be fine so long as the main cutscenes are all voiced.
I feel the pull of Chaos, ohh it calls me over!!
I didn't think RT was coming out this year haha
Time to budget for one more game purchase!
I've been wondering does your trader change look's when you put on say a new cape or a chest piece? or are you stuck with the same outfit from character creation for the rest of the game start to finish? Diggin your videos btw great work keep it up. XD
It'll change
@@MortismalGaming awesome Thanks man appreciate the work keep it up. XD
Does Toughness apply to armor or otherwise reduce damage? It could be a fairly big deal on the tabletop.
Not exactly, toughness increases your "wounds" (=hp)(think as "constitution"), and also rules the skill that allows you to resist physical effects (think "fortitude saving throws).
Will you make a video talking about the companions more?
I have already, but I'll probably do an updated one at some point
What about the lethality stat? It shows up a lot on class skills, but the game doesn't really explain it.
Never really been into the 40k setting but very interested to see if Rogue Trader changes that. Regardless, based on this I'll almost certainly enjoy the gameplay!
I’m excited for this game.
Dark heresy 2 had prepared me for this game
Pretty happy I saw on the PSstore that this is announced to come to console only slight issue is there is no release date announced
It should be same day as PC for consoles too.
@CrazyxEnigma I am hoping that because waiting for the release of bg3 while seeing pc players play it for a month killed me
Is Willpower really that worthless in the game? In the Tabletop-games its extremely important as you will need to it to resist fear (i.e lose your actions/flee) as well as resist mutations and otherwise character-breaking effects. Its basically a wis save on steroids, since you have very few cleansing abilities in a low-power setting.
I think we can expect a fair amount of annoying mental effects, especially once we start running into demons. Thing is, the comparison with wisdom is fair. Unless you play a character with abilities benefiting from it (ie psyker), that's all it does, and you'd better increase other stats.
@@benjaminthibieroz4155 In tabletop failed willpower saves will severly cripple your character though, mutations and corruption are not temporary effects.
So there is no stat which increases dmg of ranged attack? For melee, weapon skill increases attack and strengh increases dmg. For ranged, balistics increase attack/accuracy, but what about dmg?
Theres no stat for ranged damage no, you get the burst shots and the ability to attack from range whereas melee is more high righ high reward
@@MortismalGaming Thank you for answer. Now i know :)
I hope you reach 260K subs soon!
How similar is the combat to Wasteland 3?
I want to ask what the play time for the game. 100-150 hours or less ? Is it comparable to kingmaker or wotr?
Hard to say without the last two acts, First 3 are around 40-60 hours of content
@@MortismalGaming ah bummer so it maybe around kingmaker length. I hope the game content on par with pathfinder
I still don't get how burst shot works in this game, mathmatically and mechanically. How does it calculated?
Seems rather simple. Fire Rate gives the number of shots fired, Recoil is how much less accurate each subsequent shot will be. What's the holdup?
Showing the roll log with mouse overs like Solasta and BG3 would be nice. First thing I did was to max size of that thing so I could see the mechanics.
I wonder how much we will need to look at builds to actually make a viable character. I would love to just hop in and do what I think is best. With WOTR I had to watch a build video simply for the feat prerequisites alone...
Not at all. Pathfinder and this if youre not goin for unfair. Everything you make will work.
Yeah yeah yeah, can't wait to fight against chaos!!!
Am a big 40k nerd so looking forward to this. Enjoyed the beta but left it during Act 1 to wait for more polish, which we're seeing nicely here. Really wish the game gave you more of a feel for being a rogue trader with a literal army at your command though. Being able to call down AI controlled expendable troops whose gear you can upgrade over time and supplement with basic vehicles like sentinels would have been amazing. And 100% on point for the tabletop games where having expendable troops to be meat shields for you is necessary.
One thing I did not like about pathfinder (not an owlcat specific problem) is the requirement to constantly buff. Seems like this is the case here (makes sense it’s not based on D&D).
Unlike PF, here you're going to do this only in combat, no pre-combat overbuffing :)
@@Vedmich good good. I’m not a fan of the “million buff meta”.
My hype for this game is rising. Owlcat is delivering early Christmas presents with the new WotR DLC and Rogue Trader.
ANOTHA G FROM MORTY BANGA HE DROWNING IN SUCCESS ❤
will you make a video about items rareties and stuff?
They don't really have item rarity, its just different effects or better stats here.
With every Mortym´s video i like this game more and more.
Does veil thickness actually matter in release version? in beta it doesnt seem to do anything
does changing equipment change the appearance of the character in the final version of the game ?
Yeah, some companions seem to retain the bulk of their look if its important to their character though so the changes are minor on a few of them
are there agility based melee weapons?
No real need for it as you can access damage from other sources, but also more to the point is that you're still going to one shot certain things and even bosses can take over a hundred damage from AGI based characters.
@@SteinerNein yeah I didnt doubt that there r agility based characters, was just wondering if there r agility based melee characters :P (like in other games with finess weapons in D&D)
Theres no such thing has agilitly weapons.
But melee can be built with focus on Str and armor, or agility and dodge. Inclusive the assassin class its more agi focused,
And from my perspective. Agile its squiser but has MUCH more move points thats a huge limiter. And melee damage its huge has it is.
But theres 2 hand weapons, and 1 hand weapons. And some eldari(elven) weapons. And you can mix psyker powers with it with power weapons.
Stoked!
A preparation phase sounds PERFECT. So many games I can think of that need this. BG3 is a great recent example where you have your party face right in front of the the literal demon lord or an avatar of a god and then combat starts... If the game doesn't let me shout from a distance to have a conversation I should get a prep phase!
Is there any word of Owlcat releasing this system for the Tabletop? Rogue Trader itself by FFG is fine for 40k Adventures, but definitely showing its age and very clunky. An updated version would be amazing, especially with how far Owlcat seems to have departed in almost every area
I haven't seen anything but you could just take the rules from this and use them if you wanted they have them all in an encyclopedia in game
That's great to hear! Is it laid out in a similar way to a rulebook? ie, could I just take screenshots of pages and like bind it?
Love your content, by the way@@MortismalGaming
Feels like it would involve a lot of "stacks of this", "stacks of that", "stacks of this other stuff". Computers ok for this kind of accounting, but for table top just a couple token/coid type in the system is plenty.
Luckily the original RT tabletop rules this video game is based on doesn't have the stacks of a,b,c,x,y,z.
The only channel that I have notifications on for.
Good show sir
Hmm... good overview and all, but it feels like it needs more murder-hobo. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.
iirc the tabletop game calls health wounds. Darktide does it too.
Not sure about Darktide, but yeah its called wounds in the tabletop
Why the audio of the game muted?
Because music copyright is a hassle I don't need and youtube's system is prone to abuse.
What about skill, how exploits work,why add them and then remove them.!?
I feel like this system, maybe easier to understand than PF, is still so odd looking, so jargon heavy and number heavy that it'll put a lot of people off.
Wow I'm disappointed it's using the grid based XCOM style combat system. Really disappointed. I was hoping for more Kingmaker style combat, with the option to do freemove or turn based.
how newbie is this. i’m also thinking about releams of sigma coming soon as well.
Depends on the difficulty
The character building and story in the Pathfinder games is phenomenal, but the combat itself is really weak.
The combat in rogue trader looks a lot more enjoyable than Pathfinder; if the character building options are even half of what was available in Pathfinder I can see rogue trader becoming one of my favorite games.
Pathfinder has a ton of trap choices as well, when it comes to character builds. I would love to see this one with a decent variety of viable builds, similar to KM/WOTR but without the needless bloat.
When you said armor reduces the damage you take i almost cried
Everything being AC is so annoying
Damn right
Ha, still placeholder looks for items. I hope they will sort it out ;
