Naval battles are fun but I got one match against three Aeldari cruisers and it fuckin sucks. They're all super maneuverable, spam torpedoes at you, and your combat log against them goes like this: MISS MISS MISS MISS hit for 10 damage MISS

they did a really good job on the party members. Argenta especially is great -- a real humanistic zealot. She advocates for children and the downtrodden, is unfailingly positive, backs up the Rogue Trader constantly, and I had to proactively tell her not to put a bolter round in Idira's head the moment the psyker showed even the slightest indication of a loss of control also helps that she has turns where she mulches through like half the baddies

sebmojo posted:I really liked the 'resolve the under decks revolution' event, where half of it is managing his feelings ( or not) that was pretty great. I appreciate that they're not shying away from just how loving weird these folks are to us. Abelard's like "??? I don't see the problem, they're deck scum, why are we even talking to them???" and he's one of the more reasonable characters Yrliet constantly calling the RT a mon'keigh and not even trying to exoticize the pronunciation is hilarious too

so I'm on Kiava Gamma and I beat the big techpriest. i'm about to leave, but Heinrix says he doesn't wanna leave until we've found everything there. If I do leave it fails the 'secrets of the cult' quest and there's an area of the map at the top right that I can't access. there's a cogitator/cyberguard near there but it says I don't have the access codes. anyone have any insight? failing that anyone have a way to bring up console commands so i can just hop over the gap?

not that I don't appreciate having granular data but every skill being like "this will do PHYS/INT*2 + .75 WILL unless WILL is lower than STR in which case etc. etc." doesn't make each individual level up feel particularly powerful

right now when I talk to Heinrix's boss at the end of the Dargonus festivities, it gives me an "end dialogue" prompt way too early, as soon as I start talking about Janus, and kicks me forward to the time skip. So I'll probably hold off a bit until that's fixed

Drakenel posted:I'm glad you're all sharing the outcomes of the options to be a jerk, cause I admit I'll never pick those options myself. Benevolentia is my roll, and it amuses me how confused everyone is that I'm not being an rear end in a top hat. I like how Abelard is portrayed as this reasonable and nice guy and like the first quest of his where you go and talk to the deck crews about their concerns he's like "????? but they're not really people ???"

honestly everyone in your party save for maybe Abelard and Idira are either v. powerful in their own right or are there because they want to be and could bounce at any time. it's the tens of thousands of deckhands who never leave the ship that are the real ones without agency

pentyne posted:Wrath: Army management basically required one specific general who could both heal and attack, and a major part of keeping your army intact was wiping out the enemy 99%, then stalling as you heal up all your own troops, the default recovery aspect was terrible. Combat was heavily dictated by going first, to the point if the enemy wiped your archer stack in round 1 you'd need to reload the fight. this reminds me a little bit of HOMM games where your archers were either a holy terror that decided every fight if they got off one or two volleys or rushed and invalidated by a flying unit early on

Everyone is a glass cannon unless you're an ork or a space marine or a tech priest. It's a really swingy system. My players have mostly dealt with it by abusing the purchase system and bringing troops to get ripped apart by demons while the players shoot their bolters and techno blasters from cover. this is pretty 40k

With the right equipment you can get her putting 25 shots out a turn with momentum -each doing like 30 damage- with a free reload. and then just have Cass give her another turn. more dakka!

A cyber cherub clattered in a clumsy search pattern around the scriptorium on metal wings. Such things were grotesque, techno-alchemy far removed from the purer machinery of his day. The madness of Mars had infected everything. Guilliman let it flap about pathetically, its underpowered ocular senses gridding the scriptorium as it searched for him.

playing WOTR is like a TTRPG game where the DM is incredible at character work and worldbuilding but can only make encounters difficult by tripling all the numbers "you fail to overcome the zombie's spell resistance and he hits you seven times for 40 damage each. There are 14 more zombies in the initiative order before you can go" repeated for 100 hours edit: that being said they're better at this in Rogue Trader. The boss fight which is a chaos space marine charging at you while a sniper plinks away is great Pattonesque fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Dec 6, 2023 |

Not only does it do token shooting, it's also 100 hullpoints you can hide behind (and let die without a care because it's a pet - you get it back at the end of the fight) An Owlcat game is like playing with a DM who is incredible in worldbuilding and character work but absolutely wants you to TPK every time for some reason

Sharkopath posted:Oh yeah reminded me that for people having difficulty with getting naval rep, theres a few buildings and options in your colonies that turbocharge your standing with them, one being the monastery planet and the other your capital. also a lot of the trophies you get in naval battles go into your inventory but not your cargo for some reason. So when you convert all those to cargo it suddenly makes getting naval rep way easier
