I couldn't bring myself to pay for alpha access. At least beta will probably have a semi-playable game.

Captain Oblivious posted:Warhammer 40k is not satire and has not been satire since the 80s. It IS trying to say something about authoritarianism and theocracy being bad but that does not make it satire that just means it has a thesis. The satirical tone was, again, left back in the 80s. The modern tone especially if you delve into any of the Horus Heresy material is way more tragedy. I like to call it the Wow Cool Robot paradox.

Owlcat was not afraid to make party members gently caress off or die in WOTR I imagine it'll be much the same here

I wonder if this game's actually going to have romance in it because that's so rare in 40k as to be almost non-existent.

Terrible Opinions posted:Newcrons are over a decade old and have consistently featured in every spin off media to include necrons of any kind. I can't imagine they'd change that here. yeah it's extremely clear that is what GW considers Necrons to be and have always been.

I'm glad romance is going to be a thing because it shows the game isn't going to be 100% grimdark bullshit wonder which of them is going to be the runaway fan favorite like Wenduag

pentyne posted:Honestly, there's a lot more trash fights then you should have for a turn based rpg like this. I don't know if I've played a single CRPG where every fight was meaningful. Like most games do not have trash to the degree Owlcat's do, but plenty of them have encounters with enemies that only exist to be a pain in your rear end or walking XP sacks.

There's zero chance there's not going to be romance in this game and I can't imagine it's going to be difficult to find. You're just going to have to not engage. Also I don't think the reason Black Library stuff generally doesn't have romance is because of power dynamics I'm pretty sure it's the belief that the core audience for those books don't give a gently caress about anything other than grim brooding and poo poo blowing up.

SpaceDrake posted:Virtually every other review is far more glowing, and in the 80-90 band range. The game indeed appears to be Good. "I don't like the way Owlcat does combat or how they fill their games with over complicated systems" is not a dogwhistle or in fact an uncommon opinion. Like I enjoy their games overall but I'm also not wild about either of those things.

pentyne posted:Psyker seems like the most popular choice, the companion options are a bit restrictive compared to what is possible for a PC. What should I go with to not overlap with them? deep dish peat moss posted:I'm not super far but everything seems workable so far. It's important to have some tanky melee but there are multiple companions that can cover that. Psyker feels like my overall most useful damage dealer currently because it's not constrained by chance to hit or enemy positioning nearly as much as gun-users. yeah melee tank was what I was going to do in the beta before I realized your literal first companion does that

Arglebargle III posted:So in the early fight where you bring Cassia to Felek is your whole party supposed to be reduced to 1 AP for 8 turns? Seems like a party wipe. Think the optimal way to play that is figure out Felek is the traitor and kill him before you even go to get Cassia

Zore posted:How effective would doing a Caiphas Cain Chainsword+Las Pistol and huge on leadership and social skills be. Melee Officer into Vanguard (melee tank) is specifically what the Commissar origin is built for, but you don't get access to Arch-Militant which is the archetype that gets big damage out of alternating attack types. You could go Warrior or Soldier into that, but then a lot of Commissar's Fellowship stat boosts are wasted.

Bussamove posted:Okay yeah Cassia loving slaps when you get more Navigator powers on her and use the Guardian staff. Just endlessly stacking buffs for someone (usually Abelard) and endlessly stacking willpower for her. Most of the companions so far seem quite good in their own right, though I’m only done with two of the areas in the first system so I don’t have them all— the worst is Argenta but she’s more feast or famine than anything. When her burst fire hits it obliterates poo poo, but when only one or two do she feels anemic. Hoping there’s some talents I haven’t noticed yet to help with that, or that I get access to some different weapons soon. You need the ability that makes burst fire fire a bunch more shots and then the one that removes the damage penalty from rapid fire, and bolter weapon expert for the additional penetration. You're going to miss its how burst fire works in this game but the point is to pump out enough bullets that it doesn't really matter. She's capable of clearing out entire groups on her own especially with officers giving her extra turns.

My Iconoclast is a Noble so I'm playing them as someone who has completely bought into a noblesse oblige thing, helped by the fact you can literally just tell Cassia "nobles should be responsible for the welfare of their people" after she suggests de-tonguing every servant on the bridge. I'll have Abelard announce me to randos but to anyone I want a closer interaction with I'll be directly personable. For the Depot 4 thing I agreed to stopping the punishments but not to letting them self-govern because having a part of your massive spaceship that is completely detached from the command structure and also armed seems like a really bad idea.

Yeah my longlas-using officer is currently the most dangerous member of my party, entirely off the back of how good that gun is. Once I get Yrliet as a proper sniper and I start getting Master Tactician stuff I'll probably switch to plasma guns so I can dump big buffed AoEs.

My Argenta blows away 3 or 4 people a turn with bolter burst fire after getting rapid fire and the buff that makes rapid fire not reduce damage so her or guns being bad has just not been my experience
