    Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader & now also Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy - a new cRPG from Owlcat Games

    But everything else pales in comparison to the tone. It's so on point, you wander in feeling like the most dangerous thing that ever lived. Lesser creatures fall over themselves to say how amazing you are. Rulers of entire planets give you things. You are the main character.

    Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader & now also Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy - a new cRPG from Owlcat Games

    The abilities have been much improved. There's so many "feats" that it's great.

    Its got some bugs but its everything I wanted. I wave my arms and everything around me bursts into flames. Gearing up to reach Planck temperature.

    Damn son; Oracle's Nature's Whisper and AC Bonus of the Scaled Fist Monk simultaneously gave a bonus to defense — fixed; The Hex Shaman's Chant ability mistakenly extended the effect of the Protective Luck spell — fixed; The Crane Wing trait worked if the character had a weapon or shield in...

    FInally did it, Core, Last Azlanti defeat of Nilkoth, a 4 phase fight which is hands down one of the hardest in the game. Feyform Shifter, Mutation Warrior Archer and Sword Saint are hands down complete mincemakers. Alchemist bit the dust in phase 2 but would have wrecked the final whase...

    What makes the fey shifter so good: Just like a regular shifter they get Wis to AC and up to an additional +5AC at level 20 The get Evasion for free. They get Sneak attack at rogue progression. They get 2 rogue talents which means Uncanny Dodge + whatever you would like. They get wings They get...

    Did I mention that now I am level 6 I have AC >50, and 5 attacks with around +15 AB on all of them since they're primary, and a magic gore for good measure at +10. This is the class. The class for me.

    Holy cow the Feyform Shifter is absurd. Words cannot express. My girl has 5 attacks at level 4, all with sneak attack.

    AI how what when where?

    Seconding the internet is actually the worst. Should only be accessible through public terminals under strict supervision with a psycho-medical team on standby.

    What is an indie game for you?

    There might be another point that "good game made independently of [corporate investment etc]" might have some moral appeal, but "good game made with just a few people in an era when (AAA style) games these days take hundreds of people and tens of millions of $$$" has some sort aesthetic and...

    What is an indie game for you?

    At the risk of de-railing I have found that my own way around endless arguing about whether video games are art is just to fall absolutely on the side that they are not. They are a mass culture product of mass society for mass consumption and Hannah Arendt's statement that art is non-functional...

    What is an indie game for you?

    Essentially the category is one of convenience, not easily definable, or even particularly useful as soon as a point is reached where arguments arise about what it means. A more "natural" (and I use that term loosely) taxonomy might be to look at capital input into production as @OrlonKronsteen...

    DLCs are, in order of release: Inevitable Excess - A rather rushed post campaign micro-campaign which I enjoyed. A really difficulty challenge for a Lvl20/Mythic10 party with an interesting story even if it felt a bit hollow. The worst of the bunch and poorly received, but then who gets to the...

    I think credit where credit is due though, Owlcat have consistently supported WotR for years now, with both their work debugging an absurdly complex system and with their new DLCs (All of which I like though none of which I think were really worth the price, though to me they were) across a...

    I always like new archetypes. Pretty hype for some OP junk to slip through the testing ;)

    Games' budgets and costs to create a video game (now also talking about sales)

    50% of dev budget on marketing seems par for the course for movies these days based on the vids I have watched about the decline of and fall of the superhero industry. And I suppose $40M on development isn't that much for an attempt at a AAA game that tries hard to be pro but just ended up being...
