Big fan of Owl Cat games, not such as strong a fan of Warhammer though as Pathfinder which is a shame for my review hitting top marks. The game however certainly increases the tactical complexity over Pathfinder which is where my pleasure is derived and if you can bring yourself to absorb the lore of the Warhammer universe I am sure you will be enamored.
I have had the game for long over a year running it through WINE on Linux and am yet to encounter a single issue with this and many other GOG games.
Graphics again are splendid and shortcuts in the longevity of the story and action are not taken by the devs in order to pump out a product. Though next Pathfinder please!
I love the 40K lore, with it's faction politics and unrelentingly grim universe but it;s been a bit of a grind to get though this game.
The enemy AI is predictable and the levelling system presents choices that frequently have nothing to do with character type.
So you've invested in persuasion for your custom charachter?
Well tough, you're presented with a Bounty Hunter archetype for your second and third tier levelling choices.
Psycher with high intelligence and willpower but sod all strength and toughness?
Great news! thats now a "Master strategist" who is earmarked for optiions in melee combat at every opportuity.
And hows about that Space Woves Marine clad in power armour, who according to WH 40K lore should be a walking tank with superhuman reactions and endurance?
Well my man seems to have spent too long in that Drukhari cage as he can't move more than 2 squares and takes heavy damage from a base level las-rifle!
If you're going to force a structured charachter build, at least make the points and perks fit the original charachter type.
Understand that Owlcat have made a system that is FORCED and not forced specialisation, such as Underail where your charachter has to specialise in one or two areas or die in every fight.
Along with the rather fragile space marine there are a few othe lore breaking elements in the writing, but it's not as if GW hasn't retconned a few things over the years.
At the end bof the day, I think it's an OK game, but suffers from unsaisfying combat and poor levelling mechanics.
I think they could also have sqeezed a bit more budget for more voice acting for a well established IP .
This game does a truly wonderful job of capturing the essence of the 40k universe and imersing yourself into it with fun gameplay and excelleing story & writting. Like any great game, it also benefits from the support of the modding community, and the latest expansion was an excellent additon that added many hours of gameplay to all chapters. In an age of so much unfinished, poorly written crap out there, this is a rare case where you get your full money's worth and then some.
A very good rendition of the Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader setting to a CRPG. Uses the same or similar Owlcat engine that was used for their Pathfinder games, but uses mechanics similar to the Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy table top game.
Rogue Trader is a great game with a solid writing, interesting game mecanics and a compeling story for you to explore.
The characters are well written. They have a solid background story for the most part and your interactions with them do not feel off at all. You can also romance most of them (that includes the eldars) and your interactions within said romance are also very good.
The game offers you a large variety of build, psyker, gunner, support, sniper and whatever can come across your mind is possible for your character. Your crew has less choices due to its base preset of abilities but you still have some freedom of build for them regardless. The game is full of powerful gears to use as well. A good combination of your character's build with the right weapons can offer devastating results against your enemies.
The endings are good ngl. They offer an extensive amount of writing for absolutely everything that is going on the expanse after your victory and how your retinue will live after the events of the game.
However...
Despite all the good things Owlcat has been cooking, the release is rather rocky at best. Many critical bugs can be found, forcing you to back to your previous save. Some bugs will even lock your save forcing to redo the entire game from the start. Personally, I only came across one of these.
It is also poorly optimised at times, too many enemies can cause the game to lag a lot in certain areas.
I have played the alpha and the beta. Considering how short the development time was, it is a miracle that owlcat managed to get this far. Only 6 months of dev time after the beta release and another 6 months between the beta and the alpha. I would give it 2 years of development top. It is likely that Games Workshop breathed down their neck on this one as most Warhammer 40k games tend to release quite quickly.
Despite all this, it's a good game and you should wait some time before purchasing it.
