Announce the Rogue Trader and give me a full report on the new DLC!

How do i start the dlc stuff? They seemed cool so far but i'm in act II and still didn't get the companion guy.

>>714104508
Clear one planet (Janus, Kiava Gamma or Dargonus) and then do a few warp jumps, Solomorne should call you

>>714104258 (OP)
TLDR: 6.5/10 quite mid DLC, Solomon is boring, companion pets are okay, reactivity leaves much to be desired, new bosses are fun, Overseer is fun

Okay so I made it all the way to Act 5 with Solomon. Played everything Lex Imperialis had to offer, and I have to say it was disappointing. Compared to Void Shadows quality, this new DLC is pretty weak. Solomon introduction was that interesting or shocking as Kibbles introduction, I wasn't very excited to meet the Adeptus Arbites companion at all.
Solomon’s personality is flat, boring even, and sorely lacks the nuance or inner conflict that made companions like Pasqal and Argenta stand out. His VA isn't that great either, he is just a generic white guy with a black paint job.
When compared to Kibbles he gets overshadowed greatly, "Domin".
His companion quest is equally underwhelming, offering few surprises and little in the way of emotional or thematic payoff. His reason to spy on you are simple "I was told to do so", again no personality. There is barely any reactivity from other companions on his quest and doesn't integrate very well with the main story. It was too short to or felt like that, since most of the time Solomon was gone doing who knows what and he just shows up later.
Despite all that, the new encounters were fun but not very challenging, I liked the first boss the most.
My thoughts on the Overseer class, It's fun but not viable in higher difficulties. This game is designed around rolling initiative first and nuking everyone on the screen before it gets a chance to act and do the same to you. Tanks are not useful at all, and the shield doesn't make them survive long either.
The Coomrag torture for Solomon was fine tho.

So is this game finally "done" yet?

>>714104547
Thanks bwo.

>>714104548
Pasta. You didn't play it.

>>714104258 (OP)
>full report on the new DLC!
Right away, Lord Captain. Though I have not finished it yet, so it will only be a partial report.
Solomorne is a better character than kebab, but she's not a character so it's not a high bar. Take it as you will.
The two missions that I've played were very good. While they feel a less integrated than Void Shadows just by virtue of taking place on some planets instead of your ship where you spend most of the game, they clearly had a lot of care and attention put into. Same goes for the new Archetype. It's obvious the devs had fun working on it and that's always good

>>714104615
Lol. Lmao even they've already announced 2 more dlcs and plan on making more after that

>>714104548
Yeah it was underwhelming and the next DLC quality might be the same or worse, considering Owlcat is working on two other projects I doubt they will care about DLC for a game that has been sold already.

give me a fun build

Total Jimmy Debauchery!

>>714104548
>Argenta
>Nuance and inner conflict
As if being an AI sloppa yuritroon wasn't enough to dismiss your opinion, Argenta is one of the most one dimensional characters in the game

>peopel still reply to the copypasta of the A.I ritual poster

>>714105952
What's the lore of this tranny? I was digging through the archives and apparently he even posts in the fucking WoW general, does he just avatarfag as Arueshalae or what

>>714106234
Buckbroken by the fact that owlkeks will never make a pozzfinder game again, also has terminally shit taste

>>714104917
>but she's not a character
I'm finally playing the DLC and this is definetly not true
She's not very flexible and her arc is perhaps too subtly implied but it's not true
Could they have done more with her? Definetly
Is she "not a real character" ? That's just false.

>>714106342
>also has terminally shit taste
Arue is best girl thoughever, such is the curse of being the best and most popular girl that you have schizos like him latching onto her

>being this obsessed and mind broken that you spend all day looking for information on a random anon
what type of mental illness is this?

>>714106797
Pretending to be someone else to defend yourself huh?

>>714106643
>her arc
She has no arc. SHe has no eprsonality, no aspirations and no goals. She starts off as your loyal cocksucker and ends up being the same old loyal cocksucker. There was an attempt late into the game to make something of her, but it has failed because the resolution had nothing to do with the plot hook
>Kebaroo, you should kill yourself right now!
>Right away, massa!
What an arc

>>714106904
>making fun of schizo retard means you're the same
you're mind broken kek

>>714106917
She can end up trying to kill you though

>>714105093

>>714104548
This is generous, its 4/10

>>714106917
I disagree
It's too subtle but it's there
Both at the party and after you kill the priest you see her struggling to reconcile her dogma with the life she sees you having in the upper decks
When she kills the traitor priest she starts wondering if she is just as brainwashed as he was.
>no aspirations and no goals
Which is specifically what makes her doubt herself in picrel. The fact that she was raised to serve and have no real personality of her own is kind of the whole point of her story, and why she constantly seeks reassurance from the player that having feeling for him is normal and not something forbidden.

That's a character. Could have been done better? Sure, but it's there.
Also being loyal to you is not the only arc a character can have.

>>714107334
Why do you think I should lower the score, anon? While the DLC wasn't great, it also wasn't terrible. But it's easy to see it that way when you compare it to Void Shadows

I wonder what LI's 4th act quest will be about since the tithe stuff has been resolved in act 2

Does Solomon bully Yrliet?

>>714108706
While I was on Janus every single time she opened her mouth Solomorne went
>maybe, but you're a xenos so I don't believe you

All these people getting ass fucked by the gay space nigger cop

>>714106917
>no character besides sucking your cock
Thats why anons love her! Can't trust their opinions for shit!

>get annoyed by party management taking increasingly longer
>realize I'm on the dogmatic path
>Yrilet? A Rogue Trader of the von Valancius dynasty will not be talked down to by a filthy xeno. Perish.
>Idira is talking to the ghost of Theodora? Argenta rid us of this witch.
>Jae? You're ok for now but one wrong move and you get the airlock.

>>714104548

I turned Pasqal into an Overseer to play around with the new class and because a swarm of servo skulls seemed like a fitting choice for a magos but honestly he's done nothing since then. His impact on combat as a level 25 Overseer is the same as it was at level 15 of Operative. I have no idea how this class is supposed to be useful in any way whatsoever
Maybe I just picked the worst choice with the servo skulls. I guess I will wait and see what Solomorne and his mastiff are like before I make my final judgment

>My thoughts on the Overseer class, It's fun but not viable in higher difficulties.
>schizo ousts himself as an absolute shitter retard
Embarrassing

>>714104258 (OP)
Gay nigger from outer space sucks (and not just cock). His intro was boring and he is not even voiced in the beginning when you meet him. Such a let down compared to Kibellahs intro.
Barely any reactivity to being an arbeetus
The pets are okay but the eagle is stupid op.
Shields are not that great. You are better off using a two handed weapon.

You can tell more budget went to Void Shadows instead of this DLC.

>>714104917
>better than kebab
Delusional.

>>714110458
>His intro was boring and he is not even voiced in the beginning when you meet him. Such a let down compared to Kibellahs intro
Not only is he voiced, but his introduction cutscene is metal as fuck, so is the cutscene when he raids the ship with you in act 2. Not only do you have shit taste but you're a lying faggot, too

>>714110458
You can tell you've been seething non-stop about the fact that he's not a woman

I don't like blacks so I didn't buy the DLC.

>>714109864
Servo skull is the worst pet. I have no idea how to use it to any good effect.
The dog is second worst. It is fun to knock enemies prone but underwhelming damage wise.
Psyber raven is very strong for applying party wide buffs and debuffs on enemies. Literally designed with Idira in mind.
Eagle is the strongest and overpowered as hell. Becomes unkillable and its area attack does high damage. I made Cassia an overseer so that she can finally have a pet bird.

>>714110635
>hate niggers
>love riot police
I'm torn

>>714104258 (OP)
So when are the repairs to my new ship going to be finished? Did like 6 or 7 jumps by now and it's still not part of my fleet. Even picked up the Dargonus escort in the interim.

>>714110609
Total waifufag death

>>714110676
Skull exists solely for Officers to spread their buffs.

>>714104258 (OP)
Is this better than the Pathfinder games?

>>714106917
Yeah yeah we get it, you got shit taste keep making shit up to justify it. After the billionth time it's gotten boring.

>>714110686
Get the DLC and use toybox to replace his portrait

>Yrliet's a dogshit companion
>Owlcat already announced ANOTHER Eldar companion for Dark Heresy
Dear God why?

>>714111327
DH companion is corsair, they are the least autistic eldar

>>714111327
Why would you assume being a xenos was the issue? Marazhai was written just fine. As long as the person writing the Corsair is not the talentless hack that created Yrliet, we'll be fine.

>>714111491
Wasn't yrliet written by several people? Weren't all companions? Their etudes in the toybox are credited to different people at least

>>714111491
>talentless hack
Cassia is best girl so no

>>714104258 (OP)
I dig Solomorne, made the midgame a bit more exciting. Him chimping out in Commorragh for Glaito was a nice little scene. Sadly, he's just not as strong as my beloved Kibellah.

>>714111327
Im betting he will be wayyyy better

>>714111794
Yeah, his exchange with the skinwalker girl was dope

>>714111726
Have the writers for DH been revealed, or are you an insider?

should i buy the game now or wait for the enhanced edition

>warp speed + psy-raven
the fuck lmao, idira buffing in area is crazy desu

>>714112192
Enhanced edition is more than a year away, as 2 DLCs have been confirmed in the future. Even more DLCs may come if those sell, so it could be any time.
If you are willing to replay the game in a few years, yeah, you can buy it now, it's a complete experience.

But if you never ever replay games, then you might consider waiting for the completerer experience

>>714111327
Dark Heresy should feature 0 (zero) xeno companions by virtue of being a Dark Heresy game

>>714112030
DH? No, people just asked on Owlcat's discord who wrote who, all the romanceable girls besides Kibellah are written by the same person (who may or may not be a woman)

>>714112902
If that's true that writer should be fired, Cassia is just decent, Jae is bad and Yrliet is outright terrible, not just as romances, but as characters.

>>714113169
Cassia is one of the best characters in the game actually

There's nothing wrong with Yrliet, her being a retarded cunt that hurts your feelings doesn't make her bad.

>one of the announced future docs says it will introduce an augmetics system

Tech priest origin?

>>714113240
True, I love my fish princess.

>>714113416
There are multiple things wrong with Yrliet, her writing is absolute trash on every level. Her romance is irrelevant.

>>714113468
You have have augmetics without being with the mechanicus

Eagle slamming down anywhere in line of sight and doing a 70 damage aoe that blinds is great fun.

>>714113468
Tech priests can't be rogue traders

>>714113240
No, she really isn't. The characters that are written well in RT are Pasqal, Heinrix, Abelard, Idira, and Marazhai.

Are explorators kinda like rogue traders for Mars?

Does Nomos get a different ending if you don't reach rank 3 in any devotion

>>714113416
I hate you can't punish her in a meaningful way for act 3. Saying sorry? Lame. Getting whipped? Lame and you don't see it.

>>714113728
Ulfar?

>>714112395
yeah im not a replayer, thanks

>>714113809
You can literally kill her

>>714113697
If tech priests can be inquisitors they can be rogue traders.

>>714112605
>Collector's edition statue for Dark Heresy is a fucking Kroot
Absolutely disgusting shit.

>>714113859
I said punish not kill

>>714113849
Ulfars decent, but he's still held back because Space Wolf lore is retarded werewolf bullshit which makes it impossible to rank him higher.

>>714104258 (OP)
Abelard's portrait makes him look like a squat dwarf

>>714113952
GW actually seems to be toning that down a bit. Logan Grimnar's new mini doesn't have the wolfsled that he uses to delivers presents on Wolfmas anymore. He still has his Mary Sue axe though.

>>714113880
>If tech priests can be inquisitors they can be rogue traders.
They can't and they can't

If you aren't dual wielding shotguns with the appropriate perks then you're wasting your time.

>>714113551
>>714113240
Correct
best ones in no particular order
>Abelard
>Cassia
>Argenta

>soaking all the new DLC XP to hit lv36 and Exemplar before Cumrag
fucking DIE Malice, die die DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I like building a nice green path between my planets and major locations, but using those things always feels sketchy because you can only get a limited amount of those stabilizations in the whole game.

>>714114861
Cassia and Argenta should not be on that list, they are not written as well as the other characters there.

>>714110635
>>714110686
You can just be the Imperial Judge Dredd if you want. You can use the new class and not use that character, if you prefer.

>>714114861
not even a femcel but Jimmi is just based

>>714114919
Mars has its own inquisition, but they are not THE Inquisition

>>714115048
>only get a limited amount of those stabilizations in the whole game.
It's infinite actually, some warp events give more and saving the Navigator on Pulvis Platinum gives like +10 with the Iconoclast option
Frankly I just connect all Colonies to Dargonus with the green routes
desu it's even more profitable to leave orange paths since you get to fight more enemies/loot but I hate being slowed down by warp events
Fuck doing that bedroom warp event where you start alone though and get raped by Daemonettes

>>714115353
>Fuck doing that bedroom warp event where you start alone though and get raped by Daemonettes
That's a kino event though, and it's unique so you can only get it once

Ia dual shotguns arby really that good? I can't seem to get much use out of solomorne or his dog.

>>714115353
>that bedroom warp event where you start alone though and get raped by Daemonettes
oh no haha

>>714115743
Surely you jest, Elantach

>>714113849
Has the honor of being one of the three non-dlc characters with a good questline (the other ones are Pasqal and Cassia)

>>714115743
No worries, Lord Captain, I am here to share the load

>>714113884
It's a Wrath & Glory adaptation using the name of a better game for clout
The game better feature an ultra-purist that lets me remove those stains

Does the cute feudal world waifu appear on your ship if you take her with you? Can you ask her to fetch you recaff?

>>714104548
Reminder female space marines are on the way and all the fake tough guy retards that insisted it would never happen are inwardly malding and seething while outwardly virtue signaling that it's not a problem and diversity is AKSHUALLY A GOOD THING through gritted teeth. You lost, faggots. I don't care yow much you bench or shat branch of the military you're from. You're a little bitch on the inside LOL!

How is everyone building their arbites RT? I Can't be the only one being a lawtist. Started as a soldier but thinking of going into master tactician later.

>>714104258 (OP)
Why does this midget look so short?

I like the new additions to space combat. Those little zones mix things up way more than I expected.

>>714116189
Currently playing a blaster psyker but I feel like playing a castigator arbites after. Will probably go overseer because I want a pet.

>>714113579
>her writing is absolute trash on every level
aww did she hurt your feelings because she didn't immediately suck your dick like everyone else?

anyway, no friend of the Emperor would ever let her xeno ass on the ship anyway. And she doesn't even bitch when you refuse her, she's just a bit bummed and says "ok"

>>714116380
No it's because she's not a good representation of the eldar as a faction or some autistic shit like that

>>714116161
female custodes are already canon kek

>>714116547
Nucanon can not enter my head without my consent

Wait, so they released a DLC where the lead is a black police guy named Solomon? Does he have a moral quandry about his duty, too?

I think Kibellah has replaced Cassia as the most reasonable choice for a dogmatic RT who wants to continue the dynasty. Cassia may be the more renowned choice, but you can actually have kids with Kibellah and if the RT doesn't have kids, then everything's gonna go to shit real quick when you die.

>>714116823
Don't remind me that DLC was so ass and his moral dilemma was forced as fuck

>>714116964
Hey, it worked out for Theodora

>>714116298
Being a based lawtard has been fun so far. But I'm also tying to play as a dogmatic who's not a total tard about it so we'll see.

>>714115672
It's working pretty well for me as an arch militant. Dunno how it would be for him, since he's not really built for that.

>>714117025
You're talking like the DLC is 2 years old it came out not even a week ago dude

>>714115672
Yes but its better as MT rather than AM like >>714117056. MT has better synergies for shotguns

>>714117085
He's talking about cyberpunk

>>714117164
Well I'm just a fucking moron nevermind

>>714116161
40k is still a franchise for real men. Deal with it.

Me? If you incest, Lord Captain

>>714117254
I wish Cassia was my sister

>>714116964
Realistically, the best choice is probably some other person not in the game. The party members are all weird rejects or unsuitable in other ways. There's a whole galaxy full of eligible aristocrats who'd form a line all the way around the ship to marry a rogue trader.

>>714117335
Where are my options just to bed random cute girls on my worlds? I'm a RT, are they gonna refuse?

>>714117237
>40k
>real men
40k like every nerd fandom has had a massive tranny infestation in the last 10 years.

>>714117529
And these threads are proof of it

Does it make more sense for Argenta to be a heavy bolter kind of girl, or more of a flamer/melta deal?

>>714116161
Reminder they memory holed the femtodes about 3 months after the fact already thanks to the deserved backlash it got. Femstartes are never happening.

>>714117887
Heavy Bolter and Heavy Flamer, obviously.

>>714117909
>Femstartes are never happening.

>>714117335
That's why you play a girl and let jimmy become an inquisitor and just control Koronus with a pair of iron fists

>Kibella only hits for 1-5 damage and often just fucking zero
What's the point of being able to hit the enemy 30 times per turn if it doesn't do shit?

>>714118125
Entirely a (you) problem.

>>714117887
Her OC passives lean her more towards flamer, but bolter is insane later tons of support for it while the best flamer can only be wielded by Ulfar(I think anyway).

>>714118059
Heinrix doesn't give you kids either, poor attempt and convincing people to troon out

>>714118125
bro
your 2hander blades?

>>714118270
>Heinrix doesn't give you kids either
Lol. Lmao

>>714118125
xister you aren't using one handed weapons like a sissy right?

>>714115286
Just say you didn't play the game.

The main problem with this game is that the combat is fucking boring, even for a TB enjoyer like myself, because it doesn't feel like you're making decisions.

What the combat feels most like, is a card game, where you can build your deck the way you want and always draw the same opening hand, with that opening hand always being a one-turn-victory. So every single fight is exactly the same, it doesn't even feel like playing a game.
They try to get around this by making fights with phases, or triggered immunities that force fights to take more than 1 round, but that's just lame.

There are too many ways to do a million damage in one turn in this stupid combat system.
To make it even worse, building characters and leveling is fucking boring as well. We have all these hundreds of talents are not only extremely specific, but also completely fucking pointless; I don't even really level 4 of my companions after act 3, because they never get to do anything anyway. I just pick whatever talent happens to be at the top of the list and go with that, it literally doesn't matter.

The pathfinder games are the same way; the combat is fucking boring, because you just do the same exact overpowered shit in every single fight. Just buff your OTK-guy and then OTK the entire screen. You got all these stats and talents and classes, and it doesn't matter; it's all a mirage, just completely pointless and a waste of your time to read or think about.

The combat may as well only be there in these titles so that they don't get classified as point-and-click games.

>>714118542
>>714118410
dual wielding gives more attacks though

>>714118753
Did they remove your brain as well as your dick sister?

Is this another game where defense is meaningless, only rocket tag matters? I want to create Maple...

>>714118935
Unfortunately yes. Its my biggest issue with the game is that it's too alpha strike focused.

>>714118721
Just don't be a filthy minmaxer who looks up broken builds, it's that easy

>>714119005
The game can be broken with an officer (basic bitch buff slut class) and a soldier > arch militant (basic bitch fighter class), even after the nerfs
You don't have to look up anything

>>714118721
you're exaggerating but correct in a way, the problem just boils down to: RT is too easy. I don't agree PF is the same way, because the difficulty is higher and characters are less powerful relative to the enemies.
In early- through mid-game PF your characters can simply get oneshotted or CC'd into uselessness sometimes, in lategame enemies have huge stats that can still put up some fight.
In RT you can clear the screen with like one or two characters, let alone your whole party.

If they just made the game harder and had some more interesting encounters it'd be fine.

>>714119005
this is another difference between PF and RT. In PF there's a trillion options so unless you're like me and actually know the system by heart from playing tabletop, you probably have to look up builds to make something powerful. In RT character building is very easy so you stumble into broken builds by playing normally. Literally, just by using the abilities the game gives you, normally, as intended.

>>714118982
>>714118935
That being said the game just introduced shields and an origin that can revolve around shields but you could also just play something broken instead and delete the screen in 1-2 turns.

>>714118753
But you said it yourself - more attacks don't mean jackshit if you'r doing 0 damage

>>714118935
burying my face in Maple's pits

>>714116964
That's not really the case, since by the lore of the setting the RT would have a gigantic harem he's leaving children with to secure the future of the dynasty. Sadly Owlcat chose not to portray this aspect of being a Rogue Trader for some reason, but even if you don't get married to your Death Cultist or Navigator, rest assured you will have multitudes of Von Valancians to take your place after your death.

>>714116964
You have no heirs, Kibbles gives your kids to her cult

>>714119121
It's cool I don't play owlcat games for the wow engaging combat

>>714118721
>you just do the same exact overpowered shit in every single fight
That's literally the same with almost any RPG including recent ones like E33 or BG3
>b-but you can also push enemies into the void and throw stacked barrels of bombs
doesn't change the fact the most optimal strategies for combat are just prebuff + auto attack

>>714118721
You are absolutely, 100% correct and it's the biggest issue with the game. It makes replaying the game a nightmare since the combat is so trivial and pointless that there's no fun to be had in doing so, hell, there was barely any fun to be had in playing through it the first time it became so dull and banal.

All these fucking Owlcat apologists are lying through their teeth when they claim it's not an issue with the game, and no, you don't have to try super hard to do some obtuse build or some shit to break the combat in this game, on fucking Unfair if you have half a brain in how you built your characters and selected your items, everything facing your party becomes absolute cannon fodder by mid act 2 at the latest. It's why I can't ultimately recommend the game to anyone, the story and characters are fun, but when the core gameplay and combat is so utterly terrible, who cares?

If I want a game where the combat is played for me, I'd replay Unicorn Overlord, at least then I get to look at beautiful art and I actually have real character building decisions to make on top of it.

>>714104548
>yuritranny
Opinion discarded

>>714119435
You kids are obedient to you through your cult so just fuck your kids and make more kids

>>714119770
>That's literally the same with almost any RPG
No it doesn't you disgusting faggot, this is a specific and notable problem with Owlcat games, even if you can argue it exists to some extent in other games, (which isn't even true in most cases) it is, bare minimum, massively magnified and a gigantic glaring issue with Owlcat games in particular.

People always bitch about how many companions you lose if you play heretical, but dogmatic is just as bad. I've "lost" like 4 already and I'm not that far into the game. But it's this or being a naive iconoclast, so...

>>714119323
Maybe so.

>>714119998
Dude wtf are you talking about? It's not only in Owlcat games that people find good strategies and then keep using them whenever possible. Have you even played any other RPGs? Any other video games? You're insane.

>>714119862
tummy...

>>714120193
lol
lmao
You stupid fucking nigger there is far more tactical variety and combat decisions to be made in fucking BG2 than there is in Owlcat games. That dude is 100% right, it might as well be a card game, you set up your prebuilt combo and it just clears the field every fucking time. There is no actual tactics, no strategy, no decision making in Owlcat combat. And yes, it DOES exist in other CRPGs, so stop trying to claim "it's all CRPGs, not just Owlcat games!" it only exposes you as a faggot tourist who hasn't played anything more than Owlcat shit and, at best, a Larian offering or two.

>>714120429
nah man, you just have some personal problem with the game and are being clearly irrational. I bet you're a teenager

>>714118721
Stop going for busted builds jeez
Ease up on pyromancer/executioner and shit

>>714118935
Yes, optimizing the action economy is always the best strat
You can build tanky characters, by all means, they do work, but deleting half the enemies in the first turn is always better if you want to take half the damage

>>714120806
I see you have no arguments then, as you futilely attempt to defend the sterile and terrible combat in these games, which Owlcat themselves have admitted needs to be fixed. I accept your concession.

>>714118935
Like any turn based game, the best strategy is always to get more turns. Besides that though, there's all kinds of shit you can do that feels and plays very differently. Ignore the schizo

>>714120814
Stop moving the goalpost. People have been leveling this criticism against the game since it was released, back then it was "just don't roll Officer, just don't use Arch Militant, just don't use Bounty Hunter, just don't use Idira, etc." as people kept finding ways to easily crush the game, regardless of class. It's an intrinsic issue that cannot be solved by adjusting one class here or there, or ignoring it for that matter. The problem is not the class balance or doing some specific combo, the combat in and of itself is badly designed and needs to be redone.

>>714119323
You can fuck the leader of your enforcers if you have a background where your RT got tortured, because she thinks that's hot. The earliest possible opportunity to do this is right after the prologue. So, not a harem, but you can secure yourself a mistress at least.

>>714119998
The only difference is Owlcat usually lets you stack enough bonuses to alpha strike everything into submission before enemies can react
But that is also the most optimal way of playing BG3, E33, TES games with shit like 100% Resists/Chamelion etc.
And while some RPGs might not let you do that like SMT it doesn't change shit since the main difference is battles are lasting longer for the sole reason you can't one shot enemies in 1 turn through stacking enough actions/damage, yet it's not like they can kill you as well, you are basically also repeating the same shit forever at no risk of danger if you know what you are doing, except instead of doing it in 1 turn it takes 10+
Even the likes of Elden Ring can be instantly trivialized 5m in by just getting Endure and spamming it, or Shield + Spear
>b-but you don't have to do that
Yeah there's also nothing forcing you to spam Finest Hour and shit with Grand Strategist providing extra turns on turn 1 etc.
Go use the new Shields to tank and don't abuse Extra Turns if you want, the playstyle is there even if it's not the most "optimal" it still works just fine including on Unfair which is way more tolerable for ANY build/combo than PF Unfair
The only truly badly designed thing about the combat is the abundance of Extra Turn/Action/Attack stacking which can be avoided

>>714120429
>it DOES exist in other CRPGs
cRPGs have always been one of the easiest genres to break, especially the older ones where you can still use all sorts of extremely cheesy hyper consistent cheese to trivialize battles just fine, see webm and that's with SCS
Once again the main difference is that battles will last longer than 1 turn but that doesn't change the fact you will be mostly spamming the same thing while completely safe which is the same result as RT except taking longer
And usually the cRPGs that focus more on building are the easiest ones to break like Underrail due to all the absurdly overpowered shit you can eventually make

>>714119908
Your kids don't even know who their parents are lol

>>714121091
You are legitimately autistic. Did you know that games are about having fun? Maybe you forgot in that minmaxing, no fun allowed brain of yours.

About to start this for the first time. Any beginner tips?

>>714121091
Moving the goalpost? You're the one whining about alpha strikes and shit. Yeah, combat in Owlcat games is not very good. Yeah, RT is not a hard game at all unless you're brain damaged. Pat yourself in the back now.

>>714116964
You can have kids with a navigator, they'll be regular ass humans even, just with a higher chance of being psykers. Just make sure to harvest some of her eggs and send them to her house so they can continue with their inbreeding and everyone's happy.

>>714119323
>since by the lore of the setting the RT would have a gigantic harem
You could, or you could not. Don't pass your wet dreams as a necessity

>>714121287
Playing as an Officer is powerful, but boring.

>>714121287
Stop asking for tips like a tranny and just play the game

>dual-wielding shotguns keeps bugging out
have to re-equip them in each zones or it doesnt let me do the second attack

>>714121460
Just go Pyro Officer and you fix that at level 1

What's the difference between a chain sword, a power sword, and a normal fucking sword?

>>714121971
Chain swords do +25% crit damage
It doesn't matter anyways, Chainsaws mog any other melee weapon by far damage wise
Just keep to blades to use Bladedancer abilities but even for their normal attacks it's better to swap to Chainsaws

>>714121287
Make sure you always give the sunglasses to Heinrix.

>>714121971
Chain sword is a sword that has a bunch of teeth on a motorized chain instead of a traditional blade. Power sword is a regular ass sword but with a device built into it that projects a matter disrupting field around the blade. Power swords are much rarer than chainswords and as such also more expensive, but come with the added utility of if the power field generator breaks or runs out of power, you can still use it as a regular ass sword.

>>714122185
You mean the mirrored narc shades, because he's a narc.

Is bladedancer pyro still the strongest build?

>>714111327
He's male so he'll be good.

>>714122632
Only in that you can one shot or almost one shot every single enemy regardless of LOS at the start of battle once you hit level 26
But that doesn't change the fact you have many other characters that still kill the entire enemy army in 1 turn before they can react + Overseer is very fun with Psyker

>>714122674
Not everyone wants to fuck Marazhai like you so no, being male doesn't automatically mean he'll be good

>>714122759
Incels seethe about Yrliet since they can't fuck her. Since he's male you'll find something else to whinge about.

>>714122402
Degrees of Guilt.

how the fuck do you guys build solomorne he sucks ass in combat

Crazy how Jae would be easily salvaged if only Owlkek had bothered giving her Air of Authority, nevermind she's a fucking gang leader
but nope, enjoy not respeccing Officer levels as well

>>714122725
>Overseer is very fun with Psyker

Because of the LOS bird that makes it so you can nuke everything while you sit on the other side of the map in full cover?

>you'll find something else to whinge about
Oh yes, I absolutely will, why they fuck are they adding ANOTHER eldar? This game's only xenos companions are eldar, and now DH is adding another one? And it's possible they'll be including another eldar female too? Holy shit get the fuck over elves Owlcat

>>714123323
>>I Shot the Rogue Trader
>(And I Liked It)

>>714123396
He's the party wizard, you also have a kroot mercenary an Ogryn, and a baby Catachan(don't make fun of how small his knife is, he'll get a bigger one when he grows up).

>>714123396
>why they fuck are they adding ANOTHER eldar?
Because they already have the models and armour figured out

>>714123283
No since you still need LOS to target the Raven for that sadly, but LOS for the Raven only
But Overseer Psyker is good for
>buffing
Because Raven mass spreads all single target Psyker buffs, and with Spirit Drape you cast them all at basically no cost, so Warp Speed, Prescience, Forewarning etc. for everyone
>more spell spammage
Because of the way their Strategic Adaptation power works, it's at the very least 1 extra attack and can be enhanced to cost 0 AP, and there's a 1 AP cost ability that makes the spell you spread auto spread again for more damage, so +2 extra attacks without having to rely on Finest Hour, +3 if Soldier for Run & Gun, and by the way all of these cost 0 AP if buffed through Finest Hour
>more damage
yes, in this case you can use the Raven to spread offensive spells too but for that you need to trigger their Heroic Action first. Regardless it's still nice since a spreading Ignite or Psychic Shriek claps everything, the Raven also has 2 AoE damage abilities it can use while you're also using spells to bypass the attack limit/round

Having attacks of opportunity with a shotgun is pretty dangerous. About half the time the enemy runs in a way that gets half the team fucking nailed, bleeding and knocked down lmao

>>714123697
Just take the talent that reduces aoe dmaage to your party and inceases their dodge against your aoe attacks

>>714118753
Dual weilding on her becomes strong after you start dealing the majority of your damage from bonus effects that are independent of weapon damage, but she needs a big stick when she has no damage at the start.

>>714123247
I built him as a benchwarmer

>>714123247
He already has what he needs to deal a shitton of damage with his shotguns, just focus on making Glaito stronger

I just got the psycho assassin. Should I rush her personal questline now if I want to have freak children with her?

>>714124327
he still needs both dual wield talents,arbites for2h shotguns and the normal one

>>714120429
By the way, I'm still waiting on all those cRPGs that supposedly don't have this issue. All you gave me two threads back was BG2, and we both know the balance in that game gets broken over your knee like it's fucking nothing you lying AIDS riddled nigger.

Kibellah - more fun as an assassin or an executioner? Feels like both would fit her pretty well.

Are tech use and logic bugged? I have Pasqal in my party with his nerdy high int score and several levels into both skills but every time I come across a locked container or cogitator I have to work with chances of 40-60%

>>714125458

>>714126413
Bladedancer is pretty easy mode for assassins since you can hit a target then flip over the enemy and get the other side.

>>714125669
idira is a recovering alcoholic (and druggie) and has the highest base willpower, coincidence? I think not

>>714116082
Naw the sequel to the game that let you shunt the Eldars to the Inquisition or out the airlock is gonna force you to play with them at all times. Also it will force you to play a femquisitor to get blasted by Eldar Corsair dick. Just like how RT forced you to have Yrilet and Marazhai in your party at all times or it would kill your PC and then you.

>>714126413
Assassin is my choice for her
It doesn't get more fitting for the death cult assassin and using executioner with only bleed effects is a bit lame

>>714125359
Playing without Toybox is tantamount to suiciding your save. And I've fallen one too many times for the usual Owlcat gotchas that I'm just gonna use Toybox to make them fuck off.

>>714126413
Executioner. Literally built for it. Get her Dark Eldar weapon proficiency and slap two DEldar poison swords on her.

I've played all sorts of builds including Bladedancer Pyro memes etc. and I still think Officer is the most fun starter class to me, especially going into MT
It's just fun chaining Finest Hours

>>714126421

amusingly he can wear the eyepatch

She was more than one dimensional and it was fucking annoying. Tells you to purge everything in one event and tells you to be merciful in another. Glad she ended up as Repentia in my playthrough cause I told her several times shes insane.

I fail to see how this is a problem in any way.

>>714127236
It's her companion quest

lol lmao

>>714127170
What's the point of giving him Missionary Oath.

So what's the classic Owlcat gotcha on the new medieval planet from Idris Elba's companion quest?

Can all healing abilities bring people back from being KO'd or just the psyker ones?

>>714124360
no, you can take your time
half her shit is tied into the DLC main quest any way

>>714127330

>>714127429
I have no idea what you mean by that. It's a great quest

Can anyone explain to me what the fuck Owlcat did to Initiative? Outside of my Grand Strategists, I have not won initiative ONCE in this entire fucking playthrough. Even on characters with sky high AGI.

>>714127330
Good job, saved yourself a ton of trouble later.

>>714127791
I've been asking myself this question for a year and a half. The kind of esoteric knowledge you need to understand initiative in Rogue Trader is simply not openly available for mortals like us

Me when my profit factor goes up

>>714127293
Yeah, like I said, I should not have recruited her.

>AYO Rogue Trader we need yo help capturing this tax evader
>Fine will you join my retinue while I grant you passage on my ship?
>No
>Ok...
What a pathetic conversation also why is the game blueballing us so much with Solomorne? No other companion makes so many random appearances without joining up

>>714127986
>letting the nemesite walk away

>>714128013
GW forcing Owlfat (And fartshart). to mak the arr bee tees look cool.

>>714127731
You know exactly what I mean. The usual Owlcat gotcha moment. The last WotR DLC had the the entire premise of the Festival in Kenabres (with bonus points for the cat lady), base Rogue Trader has like half the colony development choices, Void Shadows has too many to list them all just on account of the entire DLC being focused a fucking cult designed to subvert humanity. So I'm asking what the gotcha moment in this one is.

>>714127330
there is no reason to indulge her or the dark elf

>>714128013
yo you finna be wantin' to pet Glaito? aight, unc might lose a couple fingers though ya dig

>>714128131
I will once again reiterate that I have no idea what you mean, schizo-kun. Either elaborate or take your meds

>>714128131
the big reveal at the end is that (you) are gay

>>714128131
I do not comprehend.

>>714127170
Grand Strat = Pasqal always acts first
Missionary Oath = 1 free Extra Turn for all other allies (have them start adjacent to Pasqal so Pasq in middle and the rest in rectangle formation
This instantly gives you Momentum for every ally, also lets someone like Idira or Heinrix insta buff the entire party with Overseer Raven now while equipped with Spirit Drape
Same for Jae or Cassia with Skull Overseer pet and Voice of Command or Reveal the Light/any 1 AP offensive/debuff Power with Cassia, Argenta with her Hymn ability after 1 free attack etc, 1 Master Tact buff etc. you have a lot of options in this Extra Turn even with 1 AP (or 2 later with Exemplar Firebrand talent)
It then switches back to Pasqal and he can get talents through Grand Strat that let him refresh 1 AP for 0 cost which so he can follow up
with Joint Analysis to increase party damage +you drop the Strat areas on allies/enemies (ideally Backline on allies with Fire at Will talent for -1AP cost on basically anything ranged including some staff abilities, even Charge from Warrior works or Cassia's Lidless Stare)

>>714127791
There's nothing to it, Initiative has always been extremely random in RT even with high AGI, which is why Grand Strategist on Pasqal & Cassia is so good
Anyways, with Void Shadows you can bathe on your quarters which highly increases Initiative especially if you have high AGI for main character, but that's only for 1 battle... still a lot of boss battles can benefit from it like a LOT of ones that take place inside the ship or starter ambushes in Footfall, Janus etc.

>>714128324
There are three anons (that i can tell) that are playing the game right now all have positive outlook on both the character and dlc. The rest are just parrtting dubious opinions they've read on leddit without having played the game

No, an old hag that gives you a cat who is actually a razmir worshipper that's spying on you

Idira got knocked the fuck out by her own lightning and spawned a daemonette.

Well that's unfortunate
>I should have taken Pasqal.
he's decent there since plasma weapons have good armour penetration
>Heinrix has been a total bro though.
Is the only one in my experience who can safely tank the boss due to all the dodge he has. Abelard usula keels in two hits since unarmed attacks are for some reason almost impossible to parry and he can't dodge for shit the ranged attacks

Should my corrupt cop (Dogmatic with dips into Heretical) Arbite Officer dick Kibbles or Jae. I already shot down Cassia and shot Yrliet out an airlock.

>>714130498
All the female romances except Yrliet deserve at least one playthrough IMO.

>>714130498
Kibbles.
>>714130478
I haven't used Heinrix enough to compare him properly to Abelard, but he is due for a kit upgrade now so I'll see how it goes in the second encounter.
I really need better helmets for my group anyway.

>>714128204
What? Imagine how green with envy other Traders will be when they find out you have both species of Aeldari as pets. You could even breed them.

>>714130663
Jae's romance is surprisingly hard to complete if you aren't using Toybox to reveal flags, she'll call it a fling if your trust counter isn't high enough.

Only the firstborn.

Is bladedancer supposed to be so ridiculous? I got kibellah and she just kills everything by herself and now i want to reroll from my shitty soldier

>>714133843
She's ridiculous because combat is ridiculous in the early game.
DFA+Dealth Waltz combined with movement and bloodstained buffs is stupid.

>>714133843
Basically dancer breaks the early game action economy since it can just farm leap charges off chaff and gets to spend wounds instead of AP for abilities, it's still strong later but once you have more AP and more ways to cheat it evens out.

THE FIRST SACRIFICE OPENS THE EYE

If I don't want to Traumamaxx my Bladedancer Assassin should I still go Death World? Forge World seems decent for the Agi Bonus x 2% Bonus dodge. Quite a boon in survivability and damage at the cost of slightly lower Agility and Strength starting out.

>>714133843
She falls off later on but remains good
She is godly against lots of low health enemies, but against a single strong target you will see soldier or bounty hunter can outdo her

>>714134703
>She falls off later on
Later on you have Chainsaws and Killing Edge spam after one Finest Hour
And by later on I mean Act 2

>>714134320
i went forgeworld's subdermal. bladedancer has blessed scars which stacks +10 toughness per round when you heal so you crank up dumb armor on top of dodge with the basic +1 heal ring from the bloodspun web temple

>>714134703
>She is godly against lots of low health enemies
That's literally everyone

>the fucking dog bit Vigdis
put that thing down solomorne

>>714133823

>>714134970
That's also pretty good. Now wondering if I go Pyro or Sanctic. Pyro seems better even if I don't use powers just for the armor stripping (pretty good with blade dance) and the +1% crit per hit.

>>714104992
Even borderlands lets you start a new game in the dlcs with an appropriately leveled character, what's their problem?

>>714104992
They're not planning anything, they just gave the generic response of "depends on the sales" when people asked if there was going to be more

If only Wrath could have got more party member DLCs too

This will always be the funniest quest.

>>714136474

Can you request tanna instead?

I bought the Pathfinder bundle with game and all it's DLCs instead but how is the new DLC? I haven't finished Rogue Trader or own the DLCs but from what I read here, the first DLC has better writing and the newest companion is basically Jacob from Mass Effect 2. Is this all true?

>>714146907
All trve but at least Jacob had his daddy issues

>>714146907
He's more like Judge Dredd than Jacob.

What am I doing wrong with dual weapon combat? I have enough AP, I want to use my axe to cause bleeds after a normal attack, but this bullshit won't let me.

>>714147361
I think it's a bit bugged. sometimes switching between weapon sets will fix it in combat, other times you have to re-equip them between areas I hear

>>714146328

There should only have been Dogmatic and Iconoclast options. Heretical is half baked and underwhelming.

>>714148653
That's just a fancy word for gay

>>714148816
Liking both sexes mutually?

>>714148950
The majority of "bisexual" men sooner or later become fully gay. Doesn't work for women thought, since lesbianism is a choice like celibacy, not a real sexual orientation.

>>714148950
If you don't mind sucking dick it's gay no matter how you call it.

>>714148950

>>714149103
>"bisexual" men sooner or later become fully gay.
I hear the contrary and most just get in relationships with the opposite sex. Plus bisexuality isn't dictated by ones current relationship. By that logic everyone here is gay since most don't have a romantic partner.

>>714150057
I just can't feel that playthrough. Being evil is fun sometimes but heretical is beyond evil. It's not just being a mindless psychopath or a ruthless sociopath or whatever, you're a perfectly intelligent person doing everything you can to send everyone into eternal torment because you're mad about the (admittedly far from perfect) status quo. It's like curing cancer by torturing the patient for eternity I can hardly even imagine a character to RP where that would make any sense besides an utterly insane one.

>>714150325
So I take it you suck down it then?

Worst case in the Imperium, your life fucking sucks hardcore and then it ends, and maybe something better happens. Worst case with chaos, well, life in the Imperium would seem like heaven in comparison. Infinite suffering that never ends and that you never adapt to, always something new and worse forever

When are they announcing the cute deldar gf companion for Dark Heresy?

>>714157863
Seriously, the cast they chose to reveal was scientifically formulated to be as disgusting to straight men as possible.

>>714157863
I think we're all setting ourselves up for disappointment. It could have just been a model for Dark Eldar in general. I don't think it was a companion model.

>>714158140
Their team has grown and changed. The waifu statue for WotR and RT was Arue and Cass. For this? It's a fucking bird. (Kroot are cool but they're not attractive)

>>714158608
RT got Cass for base game and Kibs as DLC, which was fairly recent as well. I have faith.

>>714132936
I'm the same, but accidently stumbling into an OP build is too easy in Rogue Trader. Unless you actively gimp yourself, or are actually clinically retarded and just pick only weapon proficiencies or something, your characters are going to be insanely powerful compared to the enemy. As the other tranon said, they try to sidestep this by adding invulnerability phases, or Larian gimmick fights that catch you off guard the first time and but after that it's easy, but it's not enough.

I think the biggest issue is that you can do too much too soon while you only fight a couple of tough enemies at a time that are surrounded by useless mobs. They could just give bosses lair/legendary actions, but I think a better solution would be to just add more enemies and make the grunts actually a bit of a threat. The fact that every single fight boils down to bumrushing the boss, and then slowly picking off the stragglers in the corners of the map sucks. If there was a secondary factor at play like the ground mechanics in Divinity 2, or maybe 3-way fights with 40 somewhat difficult opponents, that would be great. But every fight is just you running in and obliterating everybody in one turn. And if the enemy does get a move, they'll probably spend it shooting their teammates.

>>714158942
I think rpg system for this is just weak. No matter if it follows tabletop or ielcat own homebrew.

In dnd/pathfinder everything has an opportunity cost. Speccing in one thing leads to being locked out of something. Like wizard can't wear plate (for free) and martial can't cast, etc.

In rt the whole system is just NUMBER GROW BIGGER leading to the whole thing becoming a cookie clicker once you get a hang of it.

>>714157558
As opposed to the european experience, which is let muslims rape your daughters, throw acid in their and your faces, and respond with Thank you sir, may I have another?

>>714159509
holy shit we live rent free in your head lmao

do I just play the base game now and replay it when all the DLC is out or wtf

>>714159425
Yeah the system is a bit too simplified. There needs to be more mechanical depth going forward. Equipment that can only be used by very specific class combos, better out of combat depth besides the, like what, 6 stats in the game? More ways to set up fights with sneaking or traps, less action spam and more of a focus on difficult decision-making.

Do DLCs have base companions voice act in the DLCs? If so, how they gonna use Ulfar when the VA trooned out and likely did fuckery to his voice?

>>714162071
>likely did fuckery to his voice?
Troons' normal voice stays the same. They just don't talk with it.

Hello, couple of questions for you lads
this where i am in the story (havnt done the kaviar shit yet or wahtever)

do lanes stay green if i warp shit them? are those warp points limited? what paths should i warp green?

can i recruit the dark eldar dude as a dogmatic riot police?

are there ways around being able to shot your weapon only once per round? what is fire rate?

why are these devs so retarded? i just noticed they have a big patch coming, so why tf did i start, should i just wait for the next 2 dlcs to release + another year for fixes?

>>714163528

Yes
No, but they're not handed out willy-nilly either, make good choices and plan ahead
Personally I make the routes between my planets safe and pray for the rest
Yes
Yes, Soldiers in particular are adept at that
Fire rate indicates how many hits you get from a burst attack, though it's paired with recoil and such so not every hit will hit (though in my experience the game is pretty generous about accuracy)
Owlcat

>>714163709

>>714163528
>do lanes stay green if i warp shit them
yes they stay the color they are currently forever unless you changed them for better

>are those warp points limited
No, you get more from some warp events and at a point you can get free +50 by choosing Cassia as one of your companions during Coronation event at the end of Act 2

>what paths should i warp green?
Reach Dargonus then create Warp paths directly connecting it to your other Colonies for faster travel between them
Otherwise green paths don't matter, Yellow is fine, Orange can be good for farming enemy encounters but there's a pretty tough one time only battle event that happens only on Orange Paths where you start alone in your room vs enemies and allies gradually join

>can i recruit the dark eldar dude as a dogmatic riot police
Yes

>are there ways around being able to shot your weapon only once per round?
Yes, some classes have abilities for that like Soldier's Run & Gun, the easiest way to overcome it is through Finest Hour Heroic from Officer which sets it to unlimited so long as you have enough AP

>what is fire rate?
How many times you shoot at once when doing Burst attacks, Fire Rate of 8 means you fire 8 times for each Burst

>>714146907
>is basically Jacob from Mass Effect 2. Is this all true?
Not even fucking close, you're reading the posts of anons seething because they didn't get another sex doll to fuck, he's nothing like Jacob. He's a million times more similar to Ekundayo from Kingmaker, complete with having a dog and all

>>714164368
>this nigga legitimately thinks Ekun was good

>>714145270
Psyker and soldier aren't the best synergy especially offensive psyker in my opinion, soldier goes to arch militant for always crit damage or to master tactician for insane single strike damage. Honestly for psyker you already got jimmy which will always replace abelard in your team, it's sad but true, honestly i like that you can tell abelard to introduce you to everything but everything abelard can do jimmy can do it better, spec into executioner and you'll never need to worry about enemy with >100% armor

>>714130498
Get toybox and tick jealousy begone, ezpz

>>714165176
>Psyker and soldier aren't the best synergy especially offensive psyker in my opinion
run n gun give extra psyker attack and is riddled with crit% bonuses, arch-militant wildfire give extra psyker attack(which all adds up to let you self-ignite fpr the extra psi rating, walk into a crowd, and firestorm crows to cinders to your hearts content) and versatility is trivial to crank up with kick and single/aoe psyker abilities to become invulnerable with cautious approach. you don't even need the other companions

>>714128249
Cassia tactician or overseer? Which one had the best utility? So far tactician cassia can nuke enemies with the eyes but overseer can use voice of command on all surrounding allies with the servoskull

Lads....
Dare I say that I love Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader?

>>714118721
Yeah I really don't like the combat either. For me it comes down to three main issues: firstly it's impossible to remember what even triggers the million conditional passives you have from all your equipment and talents, so you never feel their impact.

Secondly there's just too much fucking shit to click on your turn. You get like 6 AP and can only make one attack so have to spend most of it clicking three self-buff abilities every turn, it's just tedious.

Thirdly the combat encounters aren't connected at all, your state resets almost completely between them. In games like BG1/2 even if you win an encounter you might win flawlessly, or barely scrape through with half health and barely any spell slots left. What this does is ensure there's always a challenge even if the encounter isn't likely to kill you. Without it, any encounter you have a =>70% chance of winning is basically a chore, and that's most encounters in virutally all RPGs including Rogue Trader.

I know traumas exist to address this, but they can be healed instantly and again they don't really feel impactful anyway.

Not that they will, but this is what I'd like to see for the next game:
>scrap AP and just have one move, one use and one attack action on each turn
>cut down on the conditonal talents and have more universal actions like dash, disengage, overwatch and ready vs. appoach
>only partially heal lost wounds after battle
>introduce bonus XP for faster clears and for fighting consecutive encounters without returning to the hub to heal

>>714165176
NTA can you nuke good with Sanctic or Telepath? I don't like Pyro fire nuke theme, it's kind of overdone and lame.

>>714163528
>i just noticed they have a big patch coming,
I'll stop replaying then, I only just began Act 1 anyway.

I've been putting my playthrough on hold (stopped in act 2 on janus) waiting for Lex Imperialis for so long that now that it came out I lost all desire to resume the game

>>714165619
Grand Strategist is the most useful by far for Cassia.
Cassia acting first means you have a very easy time instantly debuffing enemies with a Castigating Staff + Waking Nightmare, movement skills and also buffing allies through Infusing + Reveal the Light & Mend Reality AND dealing damage + stunning enemies what with her Lidless Stare. Lastly with Decisive Response from Overseer she can also buff one ally + grant them an Extra Turn at just 1 total AP cost
She doesn't need the extra damage from Master Tact and she won't have the space for any MT or Overseer Powers since she wants more Navigator Powers & Talents
And yeah it also combos amazingly with Grand Strat Pasqal

>>714165910
Yes, Sanct has the one of the best staves in the game for the best AoE from Drusians factions in Act 2 pretty early
Telepath is mostly for its Pain Channeling Talent, later you do have a Power similar to Cassia's Lidless Stare though

> Lastly with Decisive Response from Overseer
From her starter Officer class, I mean. Be sure to pick the 1st & last upgrades for her Heroic.
Anyways, Fire at Will from Grand Strat + Backline also means she'll cast Lidless Stare at 1 AP and Grand Strat Pasqal often acts before her even as a Grant Strat herself so Pasqal can already set the Backline up

>>714166596

>>714166532
So basically you pick grand strategist but keep taking navigator talents when level up?

>muh grim grim

Fuck me, that was way too close

>>714166924
Yes, unironically.
Both Nav Powers + Talents, it's why Grand Strat is so good for her since the benefit of always acting first is a passive you gain instantly.
And trust me, Initiative in this game is so absurdly random, that acting first is a massive tactical advantage, especially on an Officer like Cassia who can grant Extra Turns so it's not just her acting first.
Just remember to give her Decisive Response asap from Officer, she doesn't need any other Officer Talents or Powers.

>>714165640

Therefore whichever faction that isn't demonic or alien os the good faction.

>>714127791
grand strategist trivializes unfair, and i avoid it because every battle plays the same with GS or chrono, but now they added new options for dealing with initiative rolls. the skull can tank and force everyone to attack it early, while also turning half cover into full cover for anyone in the AoE. even on unfair, it can take 2 hits from the sire before going down, and that is before any buffs it receives from idira's raven, and you can ress it for 2 ap.

Objectively better DLC with more content than gay nigger from outer space, also objectively stronger class/gameplay additions, she won without even trying

>>714167431
The Imperium is an ossified and dying empire which dug itself into a corner. at best it's a stagnant and repressive place where thousands years old institutions lord over wretched serfs for their own benefit all in the name of a monarch who's revered like a god even though he is functionally dead and irrelevant to all but a few.
It's not that there are better options elsewere but I always keep in mind the GW are brits and that they write from the standpoint of people from, and living on, the accursed British Isles so a decaying imperial power with pompous aristocrats ruling over the desiccated corpse of a once ubiquitous empire and their authority stemming from antiquated rules and traditions makes sense because they're literally writing about what they know and cranking it up to 11.

>She won without even tryACK

>>714171332
Yes, even if you don't care for Kibellah at all her DLC still has more content and she's way more integrated into the game than Solomorne
Kibellah has content starting from Act 1 and even different Colony outcome suggestions
Solomorne does not
