I'm more curious if this also means enemies won't shoot each other in the back. Early on that was quite helpful in certain fights.

Next you're going to tell me that I'm not going to randomly get even more extra attacks on turns than I was supposed to. Or that that's just me being unable to count, which is also possible, but I'm pretty positive I've had Cassia use the same attack three times in a turn. Or that you'll fix The shields handed out by the Occluding Sphere on that one Nurgle-infested Inquisition Ship killing the unit they're on once broken, turning them from a buff to a really substantial debuff.

By the way, I don't know if everyone just knew this and it was only me assuming it was impossible because it's so stupid: you can repair your ship during ship combat. Just open up the ship management screen like normal. Impossible to tell if this is intended or not, because lowlcat.

The idea of all initiative being ground out of the lower decks crew to the point where they will look at a hole in the hull and refuse to start patching it without direct orders, lest the be executed for acting without authorization feels extremely 40k though.

Finished the game. Iconoclast ending with Nomos. Slides were overall positive other than loving Pasqal killing Yrliet and not even caring after she tried to parlay with him? What an rear end in a top hat! I assume if you don't have Nomos become the C'tan your breakway little kingdom is just crushed by the Imperium when they invade? That's about what I'd expect. Really liked it overall but really the game system is just stupid broken. Even playing on daring, the last half of the game (like 50+ hours of playtime) was every single combat encounter ending before enemies were able to act. In the whole of acts 3 to 5, maybe 20 enemy actions happened, total. I might as well have been playing with the Toybox murderhobo toggle. Even the final boss didn't get a turn besides a couple of scripted attacks interrupting my chain turns bullshit. I don't think it can be reasonably fixed, either. Entire archetypes are explicitly based around ridiculously broken mechanics like granting extra turns, always going first, versatility, lethality, the list goes on. Feels like every other talent and item is yet another absurdly scaling damage modifier to add to your number soup. Even boss tier enemies can rarely survive a single attack from all the wild poo poo the party is putting out. The combat was kinda cool at the start but player power quickly spirals out of control even if you're not trying too hard or don't know the system. In WotR, for all the faults of Pathfinder 1e, it at least felt like enemies could pull some nasty poo poo on you sometimes. Even if you had broken builds. In this game it's no loving contest, you always go first and do some insane time fuckery of giving various people extra turns and making a dozen attacks in a turn and then everything is dead. I did enjoy the space combat, reminded me of playing the X-wing minis game a decade ago. Wish that part of the game was a bit more fleshed out, definitely better than loving Crusade mode.

The combat was kinda cool at the start but player power quickly spirals out of control even if you're not trying too hard or don't know the system. I don’t know, this feels like something that could be done as a balance patch or mod? Grant extra turns? Sure, except that the target can’t use any 0 AP attacks on it. So, the target gets 2 AP, enough for a single deadeye shot or burst fire, but no Death Whisper for Assassin, no free attacks for Arch-Militant. Still a good ability - one attack from the target, one attack from the officer, but the officer has to spread their abilities between buffing and direct attacks. Other stackable abilities need limits too. Versatility stacks can be limited by Willpower bonus, for example. Wildfire minimum AP cost could be 1 AP. Cassia’s WP stacking can be limited by her Fellowship bonus. Lethality can be capped at Agility+Perception, or something like that (my main is an Assassin, but I haven't paid too much attention to it - my main job is to go first and kill a mook, so we can start chaining heroic acts). Momentum gains need to be re-worked too. Maybe no momentum gains for kills made on heroic act turns / actions? I liked the feeling of X-COM lite in Act 1 and early Act 2, but now that I’ve finished Act 2, later parts of it did feel rather ridiculous, with combat going “the enemy Space Marine takes a single potshot at us, we kill everything on the battlefield”.

Yeah, fixing is going to require such a significant rework that I'm not expecting them to do it especially with how many bugs are left in the game. They certainly didn't do anything like that before though those were adaptations instead of so much of their own systems work. Maybe to coincide with dlc a long time from now, but I'm more hopeful about a reimagined system in a mod if it's possible with the tools available. Also agree the space combat is awesome and I hope they consider a spinoff or dlc focus. I'd happily play a game with mostly space combat and only a little bit of on foot stuff.

Should have used Seize the Initiative and Grand Strategist to kill everything on the battlefield before the enemy space marine gets to take that potshot.

It'd be one thing if the system was breakable if you knew what you were doing and worked towards it, but it's basically inevitable that you're going to end up doing the broken stuff without even particularly aiming for it. I think you'd have to actively try to avoid it, actually. Your archetype options are too limited for that not to be the case--if you're not making Argenta an Arch-Militant, you're putting her in... what, Bounty Hunter (which is a class that as far as I can tell is just finnicky work for no real payoff). Give me an archetype for heavy weapons! Or something even more melee focused, or make psyker an archetype instead of just "Thing you also do and put all your investment into instead of the archetype you supposedly are".

My word, who thought it was a good idea to have this CYOA section in space Menzoberranzan that outright kills you if you fail a skill check. Especially funny when it kills you even when you supposedly have a 100% chance of success

Yeah but there's a very tiny range of flexibility given how the developed the enemy power curve and a total rework would require not only massive amounts of effort on how the classes work but to then balance the entire game's combat against that hopefully in a less Owlcat way then standard.

Bounty Hunter does what it says on the tin, it gives you massive crits on 3 targets per combat. It's just that arch militants and assassins get to do that to everyone for free.

I wish Homeworld/Origin had some more reactivity. Playing as Voidborn is wild when your High Factotum reminisces about hunting and killing Voidborn for sport, to your face. And there is no option to space him because the game doesn't have homeworld checks for dialogue.

This is the only thing I've been playing lately and I just beat it. Random thoughts: - game good. Compared to BG3 it's hard to tell which is "better", but I left BG3 in the last act to play this all the way through... - bugs, but it's noticeably better as the patches have rolled in. The camera is still atrocious though. - too many loving levelups, oh my god. I didn't even bother respeccing anyone the entire game because I dreaded having to go through it again. - too many cinematics that are just some rear end in a top hat crawling slowly across the map to do a salute animation or some stupid poo poo - I thought the combat was a blast because the combat is as broken as you want it to be. There's obviously completely OP poo poo out there but you don't have to abuse it. Why bother if it's not fun? Why force yourself to use extra turn + Argenta and then complain? Take the 12 ROF bolter out of her hands and try other stuff, because it's all pretty good. Or just see how bad you can break it and have your power fantasy. There's a ton of options out there. Solid 8/10, got my money's worth, will come back in a few years to see what's changed.

Griddle of Love posted:Yes, but it's so much worse in the CRPG. They really amped it up to eleven. The first video playthrough I saw of Rogue Trader had a character the DM had to scold because he would just hold on to his points until he needed to do something and level up a skill when it came up. By the end of the game the guy had the equivalent of like three or four levels that he just never bothered to cash in. So many painting hours spent listening in on Grey Hunter and cknoor rogue trader. A part of me wishes that they had somehow done a perfect translation of the pen and paper acquisition system. Just type an item description into the search bar and hit enter and some dice roll behind the scenes and you either have it or you don't. Then you plug another name into the search engine and the game pauses and yells at you because you're 40 minutes into a 3-hour session and you haven't done poo poo other than look for plasma rifles.
