What are the chances of any campaign map stuff being optional? Really bounced off Pathfinder Wrath of the righteous because of the map stuff even though you can automate it.

The problem in Wrath is that the management stuff is too shallow and the UX so tedious to use. Like It doesn't seem to matter at much and it's just in the way of the actual game. It's a lovely battle and a lovely settlement management bolted onto and otherwise fine game.

I played some of the beta and it's very 40K which is good. It all seems pretty nice if slightly jarring coming from BG3 its vastly reduced options. Like theres a box on a walkway and I just can't workout how to get it because I can't jump. But overall feels fun and grimdark

I hope they tighten up the encounter design a bit. A few times now if entered a fight and people 3 screens away have gotten in on it, so after the first fuseilade of fire it just a few turns of running towards each other. That and let me peek round cover, there's a few police squad moments where I'm opposite people in cover and we can't see each other, or worse they can see me but I can't see them.

pentyne posted:This spaceport area after the prologue is dire. As an intro to the game it's just nothing but trash fights against 10+ enemies at a time who, when getting crits, can basically one-shot anyone in your party. That's exactly the fight that made me mad. The mooks aren't mooks so they all move individually so if takes forever for a nothing fight. Can you return to the ship to recover? I couldn't see how.

There's a few folk saying the beta is a pale imitation of the release and it better be because the game is borderline unplayable in its current state. It's incredibly buggy, encounter design is awful, skills are completely inscrutable. The clues thing is like Hunters Mark from BG3 designed by a crackhead.

Based on the beta no. But folk seem really convinced it will be significantly better than that but I don't know what that's based on to be honest. Personally I would wait for bit after release to see if the problems shake out

sebmojo posted:I think it's going to be good, they really get the 40k vibe and all the problems seemed fixable. No harm in waiting for reviews though. I think the bugs are fixable etc but a big one for me is the encounter design which is more of a design ethos thing, owlcat might not want to fix it because they don't think it's broken?

For me BG3 had set a high bar for encounters. Whatever else you think of that game I could describe a fight and you would know which fight it was and why there was a fight. Theres no, walked 5 meters and found 6 absolute randos who pose no threat, have nothing useful and waste my time. Then move 10 more meters and get another trash mob but this time they have a sniper rifle? They're just time sinks in the game which maybe throw some wounds on your guy.

Perfect Potato posted:Yeah all those needle blight ambushes and generic zombie/wraith encounters in Act 2 were super memorable. Also can't forget the "ambushed by a half dozen doppelgangers" fight at the circus no wait under the temple no wait at the harper hideout no wait the wine tasting festival no wait the barber's no wait I pretty sure I know every fight you're talking about there. So yeah I am right.

Perfect Potato posted:"I remember the fight so it's good" is not really something worth arguing so good on you I guess That's not what I'm saying though? The fights are memorable, some of them are awful like the Power Word Kill dudes in act 3. But they are intentional and theres always a reward, be it plot progression or treasure. Pretend I said Divinty Original Sin 2 if you just dislike BG3. It's been years since I played that and I still remember the set pieces. That's good encounter design, there's often a little fun trick to the fight for you to discover. Right now in the beta you land on the planet and there's folk fighting for some reason. You have to run from your little landing craft to to place you're going and there's I want to say 5 distinct groups of dudes? Just grunts that you fight, they don't seem to have any good loot, they don't really pose a threat. I've got loads of abilities that I just don't need to use, you just shoot and end turn. Its just a time sink until I get to the set piece where the guy turns into a warp horror which is good. It's frustrating because there's so many good things in there like setting up your dude before combat starts. I really want to love this game because I love the Rogue Trader RPG and CRPGs in general. Maybe it will improve with the full release. The only owlcat game I've played before was Wrath of the Righteous and it seemed better than this, though it did have a little of here are some monsters just hanging out on the map for no reason.

Arglebargle III posted:The power word kill guys were a good encounter. They reward mobility and initiative. That fight is the opposite of plowing through trash mobs. Depends who you have in your party and what you have prepared for me. I went in with Dimension Door prepared and it was fine certainly not my favourite and I'm not sure how it would have gone had I not prepared the way I did. But lots of folk seem to hate it so picked as an example, I think you might be the first person I've seen say they liked it. Trying to think of one I hated, the fight up the stairs before the final fight because I kept getting blasted off the side to my untimely demise. A really fair criticism that you can level at Larian in all their games is sometimes you have to lose a fight to work out how to beat it.

pentyne posted:Game desperately needs double movement at the cost of attacking. Theres a tabletop game called Decent that brought out a new edition that had lots of fancy bits and pieces in it. But the best thing to do every turn was move and attack twice every turn. I feel this is where Rogue Trader is just now. I've got loads of abilities, getting tons of clues etc etc. But the best thing to do is just move and attack. There's no fun way to resolve these encounters. I'm not dropping a pillar on some fools or using some movement trick to get all up in their faces. You always have all your abilities so there's no real trade offs happening and you can't run or anything like that so even if you wanted to make a trade off you can't. I guess getting wounded is a problem, but again it's a problem solved by wasting time running back to the voidship if you can or just softlocks your game.

The advancement screen is just amazing UX work in this game. One screen let's you filter abiliies by your class/background etc but other don't. Also the recommendations for upgrades to take all seemed designed to make your character worse. Should a psyker take psyker talents? No Ballistic skill upgrade please. I feel sorry for someone not scrolling through the 50 options every level and just thinking the recommended ones will be good.

Jack Trades posted:That's unfortunate to hear. It's a bit dizzying. I've got a Crime Lord, Void Born Operative and levelling up I have 92 options to choose from on the talent list. And it's just a big ole flat list so if I want Sniper Expertise I need Perfect Spot for that, but it's not an Archetype Talent so I need to search through the big ole list. The list is not sorted alphabetically and cannot be searched.. I'm looking and I don't seem to be able to get Perfect Spot so maybe that Talent is locked for me forever?

Further Reading posted:When you have the option to only choose a common talent the sort options vanish. When you have an option to choose from the entire talent list you get a little bar over the list that let's you filter by types of talent. I know how to filter them, I'm looking to sort them or better yet search. Someone said I could sort them. I have Sniper Expertise as a talent but I need Perfect Shot for that but there's no indication where that talent or ability is.

I guess I mount come to an encounter that requires abilities but haven't so far. The Longlas and Arc Gun solve a lot of issues. I told myself I wasn't going to toybox things but we will see.

Fat Samurai posted:Staring at the character creation screen, probably going to be a Noble/Commissar Officer from a Hive World for the +10 Fel. From what I understand of the system (nothing), Commissar is for screaming at your team, and Noble is for screaming at one person specifically. Both seem fun, but I'm not sure which is funnier: Slapping my team members to make them go fast like I'm playing Dungeon Keeper or using the fat gently caress in the powdered wig avatar. If you need a tip Commisars are the one cosplaying as Nazis in the portraits if you want to look the part.

The combat in this is really swingy. I got to the Chaos Space Marine and first round he downed two people and then the sniper downed someone else. So I reloaded and then just beat him hollow, he barely did anything. I think the AI broke because I just spread out and he only used single shots.

You can choose not to do it. I'd prefer Owlcat spent the time fixing the bugs not trying to balance things and breaking it more. Can confirm that operative /assassin is extremely tedious.

Just loaded my game from last night and it's completely broken. I can't scroll around the map, there's no sound, I can go to a different area because the transition is where I'm standing but that's it and it's the same story on the others side. Oh no Edit : All the option sliders on all the screens were set to 0% including scroll speed and volume. What the christ Edit 2 : all the text from my journal is missing now. I still have quest markers but no idea what they're for. Edit 3: wait my font size got set to 0 and we're back in the game. Aramoro fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Dec 13, 2023 |
