So earlier on the prison planet I was nice to someone and he told me to seek out a merchant in footfall’s shadow quarter but I can’t find him/a reference to it online, am I just crazy?

They're in the backrooms of the bar, and the Footfall representative of the pirate faction you might have met in Chapter 1

I’m absolutely loving this game, best CRPG I’ve played in years, and while it is thematically appropriate as the idea of a Trader having extensive conversations with random serfs is preposterous I do wish there were a few more people to talk to in these areas. Kinda funny to consider that broadly, most of the things you’d encounter like friendly innkeepers just aren’t part of this setting as the supermajority of people can barely sustain themselves

Together with Dawn of War this game might be the best 40k gateway drug so far. Neither requires previous knowledge of the setting and both have pretty good and diverse representation of main factions (unlike games focused on one or two factions, like Mechanicus or Space Marine). I'm currently finishing chapter 2 and so far there has been Chaos (all four flavours), Eldars, Deldars, Navigators, Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Inquisition, Sisters of Battle, Mechanicus, Ecclesiarchy, even genestealer cameo - I think of major factions only Imperial Guard, Tau, Necrons and Orks are missing. Dawn of War excels in bolterporn aspect of setting, Rogue Trader in dystopian nightmare aspect, but both are good.

It also helps that Owlcat absolutely nails the satire that, for a hot minute, a lot of writers had forgotten in pursuit of playing the fashy vibe way too straight. The only other 40k product that actually resonated with me in any way like this were the Ciaphas Cain novels.

It might be fixed, but last time I played that discount was bugged and greatly increased the cost of all goods from that vendor. I'd save and double check.

Lmao gently caress too late, I did wonder why I couldn’t afford anything he had despite having sold every single rep thing I could and seizing every profit factor. They don’t seem to have been increased outlandishly though they’re all still in the 20s as a prerequisite so maybe it’s been fixed and I’m just not supposed to be able to buy much when getting to Footfall for the first time Worst case scenario I assume I can Toybox up my profit factor. I’m probably missing something but if I’m not I really, really like this trading system. It’s self-evidently absurd that an Imperial noble and Rogue Trader would go around buying individual items from heretics, peasants etc so the way they dispensed with a more generic currency and turned it into a sort abstraction of one’s avarice and commercial reputation is a great way of making those moments feel lore appropriate. Unless I’m spending something I’m not noticing Also is there a way to rotate master tactician zones? I’ve had a bunch of moments where I want them to be horizontal but they default to vertical and vice versa, being able to manually rotate them would be tremendous

If Yrliet’s quest truly is untoyboxable in chapter 4 I might take a break and play WotR til it’s taken care of.

Yeah the way they balanced the game seems weirdly hostile to the player. TBH it was kind of trivially easy in the beta to max out reputation with all of the vendors I think they just compensated way too hard the other way

Can Toybox be used to adjust profit factor? I’m sure it can and I’m just being stoned and missing the appropriate button or field

Frog Act posted:Can Toybox be used to adjust profit factor? I’m sure it can and I’m just being stoned and missing the appropriate button or field It can. It's on the "Bag of Tricks" tab under RT Specific. You can also adjust faction rep and resource quantities. The latter of which helped my last game when the game suddenly decided I had half as many people as I did the turn before, and decided that meant I was at a massive deficit and cut my PF in half.

Warmachine posted:It can. It's on the "Bag of Tricks" tab under RT Specific. I’m pretty sure that happens if you let the priest fly away with the Crucible. I’m not 100% sure if this is a bug or not because while the prompt says it increases PF the advisor dialogue does note that without the Crucible the planet will become barren again and that would be a huge loss.

That would make sense. I'd gotten used to reading the tooltips to understand the consequences of my actions. Leave it to Owlcat to punish me for that.

I totally would've missed Ulfar if the thread/internet didn't spoil me since the place where he is kinda blends in with the background. Also when am I'm going to get to that boss fight that everyone hates in act 3? I just escaped the arena into yet another trash fight. I know it's an arena story segment in an RPG but it feels like the Rykad Minoris spacesport in that there are way too many trash fights

TBH it was kind of trivially easy in the beta to max out reputation with all of the vendors I think they just compensated way too hard the other way They tend to patch change balance in extremes to player detriment or near-insignificant quantities to player benefit. It's probably a function of looking at the game and think how min-maxers will exploit the changes rather then the average person. Their DLC roadmap being, allegedly, focused mainly on core game additions means a lot of patches and balances added to the existing framework and not having to make entirely new mechanics from scratch every few months. I don't understand why they didn't do something similar to conviction, where getting to a certain rank in one vendor locks the other to a lower limit, like Drusians just won't trust you that much if you are trading massively with pirates.

Chapter 3 is done and that was both nerve wracking but also a really cool twist. Seeing Yrliet get some closure on her whole deal is satisfying.

I thought it was fine but I was able to recruit Abelard and Argenta immediately and even without full support Argenta could still solo the fights with the heavy stubber you can find. Apparently it’s possible to have a companion configuration depending on who was with you beforehand in which you don’t have any friends to immediately recruit, which I can imagine being pretty lovely.

I'm playing this game very slowly I think, I tend to play it in bursts, not play it for a whole week and then a big 6 hour session in one day.

One thing that made Act 3 pretty easy my first time through was your mercs can be picked up almost immediately, and if they weren't at the Paralyzing Gas Party they keep all their equipment.

One of the Act 4 quests is completely nonsensical for me (the conclusion of the jungle quest). I think it’s assuming I know a lot of stuff I don’t because I’ve killed every xenos I’ve met at the earliest opportunity, including Yrilet.

Having not seen that ending I can only assume that you lighten up on the fascist oppression by about 1.5 degrees and it's still something that will only last right up until an Imperial crusade or Ork Waaugh or Tyranid fleet rolls in and obliterates all involved because Warhammer is where good things go to get murder-rape-hosed by the writers.
