turn off the TV posted:is this game super easy at the start compared to later chapters? I've only played on daring. Act one was a fun puzzle but required zero reloads and never had a risk of failure. The boss died in a single round. The second fight in act 2 had my main damage dealer one-shot because I was getting complacent and was playing poorly. It was completelyavoidablein hindsight. I was still able to win but it was noticeably more challenging and less forgiving than anything I previously dealt with. I've heard a lot of complaints about later acts being even harder, so this might be one of the few RPGs that gets the difficulty curve right. Other Owlcat games were similar in this regard, which is part of why I like them so much. Character building and tactical decisions actually matter, unlike most RPGs.

I've found operatives really powerful. You can rapidly scale Pasqal with the operative talents that let you scale harder with intelligence and perception, and get a giant stack of tactical knowledge to make your team super tanky and improve his damage if you take talents that accelerate analysis. Once you become a grand strategist I'd go back and pick up the tech priest specific talents. He can hard carry act 1 with the longlas, you can wait on the plasma talents.

Would burst-fire arch-militants still be broken if they fixed it by not counting burst-fire as an area attack? It seems like an unintended bug that they work with concentrated fire and create two stacks of versatility each burst without having to actually use an alternate attack (because the attack is a burst and an area). Never having to perform suboptimal actions is huge, getting your scaling at double the intended speed is a huge factor in how busted burst-fire is currently, and the flamer talent is currently better for bolters than rapid fire.

If you want a non support psyker officer is the worst archetype you can pick. Soldier's Run and Gun lets you make a second attack of any type, including psyker powers, while operative will passively much more than double your damage.

Thinking about going to the Navigator station first as that seems most important Navigator first (make sure you strip the station of all its valuables for the profit factor), the unidentified ship is a merchant you can visit whenever, visit the penal colony after getting Pasqal at the main planet. Don't finish up the main planet (you can leave after destroying the artillery) until you've finished the penal colony.

Sharkopath posted:The thing I've noticed mainly is more a lot of people posting with sadistic glee how much they love executing the few non white characters in the game. This was what I was trying to get at without coffee or breakfast but then everyone came out of the woodwork farting and saying that they are, in fact, nazis. The number of people who proudly talk about murdering all the non-cis white characters in this game is disturbing. I can't tell who is just really into the lore (whatever that means) and who is just a nazi.

So is 40k an exception to the rule "if someone tells you they are a nazi, believe them."? I actually thought the Idira decision was fairly nuanced. Sure, she is useful, but it also isn't her fault that she wasn't ever sanctioned, and she spent who knows long hanging out with a an extremely heretical RT who kept telling her that whatever harm she was doing to the rest of the crew (or anyone else) didn't matter. She's been heavily indoctrinated into a cult and I would argue that she'd normally deserve at least an attempt at deprogramming, but that isn't an option, at least in the immediate term. She's wildly dangerous and unremorseful. The game also doesn't have any path to redemption for her, that I've seen at least. But that's not how a lot of people present those kinds of decisions. There are a lot of people who think it is a funny joke that you can put a bullet in the head of the black woman. Those same people talk up instantly killing the diaspora Xenos the second you determine they aren't the white woman they were passing as. They hate Jae because she's uppity or some bullshit. People are angry that Iconoclast even exists, let alone has positive outcomes more often than not. 40k isn't satire making fun of fascism if the fascist answer is always the correct one. Owlcat gets this, which is why being dogmatic isn't always the best path. Sometimes this thread reads like how I'd imagine the Disco Elysium thread would read if people unironically loved the fascist playthrough though. In a world where literal self-proclaimed nazis are making the same lovely jokes as goons, and fascism is on the rise worldwide, maybe you all could not loving sound identical to people who want to murder me? Because I'm sure most of you aren't nazis, and maybe you didn't realize how many loving Nazis love 40k and make the same lovely jokes you all make every couple of pages.

pentyne posted:Nazi's don't own Warhammer 40k and its pretty lovely of you to imply anyone making jokes about the game is nazi-adajcent because you're apparently seeing tons of Nazis also making jokes. I agree that 40k isn't owned by Nazis. The problem is that Nazis are actively working to culturally assimilate 40k. It has taken active pushback from GW and the community for them to have not taken over. I don't agree that literature and fiction doesn't hold any meaning because they aren't real though. Especially for a property renowned for being satire. Edit: I'm not saying they are a stand-in for the Jewish people. The background for her and the rest of her craft world, which has been destroyed, makes it clear that they are refugees trying to find a new home.

Taear posted:Honestly yea levelling in this is awful. Pillars 1 had a sort of similar issue where about half way to max you'd be "done" and just picking randomly and I almost feel like that here. I thought Pillars had a really great leveling system. Have you considered that maybe the rest of your life is too exhausting to also want to engage with new, dense rpg mechanics? Sometimes, people just want something comforting after a long day, and reading paragraphs of rules text isn't what they need. I've been there. Other times, something crunchy like this is exactly what I want. It really doesn't sound like you are in the headspace to enjoy an owlcat game, and that's OK. If the idea of googling for help is too much, maybe take a break? Edit: I understand wanting to beat a game, but you are clearly not able to interface with its systems right now if you can't beat fights on the easiest difficulty while thinking you've taken all of the good abilities. Even if you drag yourself to the end, what have you proven? KPC_Mammon fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Jan 10, 2024 |

Tolth posted:I wonder how many people finally gave up on 3.5 because of the Owlcat games. I'd been a holdout for at least a decade, but then I did the Playful Darkness fight and I was finally able to process that 3.5 doesn't need to be run ever again. It really helped me to move on I enjoyed kingmaker and Wrath, but it really cemented that I never want to play 3.x ever again. Especially in person. The extremely bad npc builds perfectly replicated my experience carrying other people's poo poo builds in pen and paper games. The buffing was less obnoxious than pen and paper because the computer tracked everything (and adjusted automatically when someone casts dispel!) yet was still annoying busy work. Encounter design felt like one of the GMs I played with back in the day. The really nailed the entire experience.

40k is satire if the fascists are wrong despite being in charge of the setting. 40k is nazi propaganda if the fascist/dogmatic approach is the correct one. The game is satire but a whole lot of people wish it was propaganda.

Mordecai posted:I don't use another psyker except Cassia who I think doesn't count, and actually has a talent to lower degradation when she uses offensive powers. By the way, Cassia's suddenly able to use those twice, but the second time triggers a small amount of direct self-damage. I have no idea why; her origin and homeworld are weird (not sure if the latter's supposed to be an in-universe redaction for some reason). When she got Held in My Gaze it came with a passive talent, which I don't think is right? You equipped a staff that lets you attack twice. Read the item description to learn more.

My GS just drops down the zone that reduces enemy dodge reduction (and action point cost for attacks once you get the talent) and doubles its effectiveness with the active ability so my sniper assassin one-shots even more things while standing in it. It's Pasqal, so he spends the rest of the fight hanging out in the zone murdering enemies with plasma. The talent that refunds action points when you use multiple abilities on a zone is also pretty nice. Pasqal can use every single buff and debuff while also making an aoe attack.
