    No chance to play yet, how's it feel???

    Main critique currently is that the inventory system is dire. I mean WotR's was pretty sub standard, but this is much worse imo, which is sad because if the game is going to throw zounds of loot at you then you really need some sort of dedicated system built for it. afaik this is just the DoS(2)...

    So on the subject of the dark urge, it's pretty messed up that larian wrote this.

    Tactician difficulty so far: not hard, but then that is mostly to do with the availability of resting as was an extensive part of EA feedback. Wiped once so far in that early tomb and that was purely to do with being completely out of spells and deciding to "have a go.". As was a part of my EA...

    So my take home at the moment is that on Ultra the game looks sick as hell, mostly smooth apart from the odd micro-stutter and very short delay texture pop-in. Load times are fine from an SSD.

    Hundreds of hours in EA, but I go on holiday for the actual release. Irony life. Will roll up a Monk when I get home in a few days.

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

    I think the biggest issue with the combat right now is the calculations for ability and the lack of tracking: you can pick lots of modifying abilities to your ability which do things like "When you use X it gives 5+2x(perception bonus)% to critical hit chance" but these additional modifiers a 1...

    AI Art

    as a teacher, who lives in a permanent "last days of rome" fugue, every new little bit of awfulness just seems to elicit an "I told you so" sigh. But yeah, colour me a luddite - leave you "AI art" at the door thanks, and you can take your mobile phones, today's internet and video games too if I...

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

    So far I have played through the prologue 3 times. Encountered a few minor bugs: mostly to do with graphical effects persisting around characters and items not working (typical owlcat stuff) and one game breaking bug where you could sequence break yourself out of being able to progress. Not bad...

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

    The changes that have been made from alpha to beta and all for the better imo. It's still a half complete game with lots missing obviously (character creator is good but half complete). I am enjoying combat more, though it's hard to tell if that is because I have not played the alpha in a while...

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

    Watching the beta trailer the areas (still) look very "plastic-ky". If someone told me they were deliberately trying to make everything look like actual 40k plastic models I would believe them. Although I think this is a result of lighting not really being in the footage at all. No shadows...

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

    I will be diving in on the first - excited to see what changes they make based on their extensive reply to Alpha survey feedback. Reading through all my prior posts I don't take any of them back but bear in mind I mostly talk about the negatives which irked me rather than the positives (of which...

    Wait like 3 years after release for the "terribly optimised but at least it doesn't c2d every 12 minutes" experience.
