It's also really, really hard to ride that knife edge of a good player experience if the enemies have the same scaling as the player. There's a delicate balance of challenging but also not too obscenely hard. Think chess bots, but it would have to be way more complex.

It's way easier to adjust encounters via giving the enemies more or less hp/damage/abilities than the player.

Abby and Pasqal are the best. Pasqal is by far the funniest character in the entire game if you pay any attention at all to him. Abby is battlegrandpa. I think he's actually technically a great grandfather.

It took way too long for me to realize Abby = Abelard since many, many 40k fans refer to Abbadon as Abby.

In regards to navigation points, I saw a limited resource and in true gamer fashion proceeded to refuse to spend any of it unless absolutely necessary.

While this left me with plenty for the necessary quests, it made the game drag on since nearly every jump had some "in flight entertainment" in the form of daemons.
