Coming from the tabletop RPG, man they have overcomplicated things for this game. Don't quite get why attack damage went from (Weapon damage) - ({Armour - Penetration} + {Toughness - Felling}) to this system where two 'heavily armoured' units behave completely differently because one has Deflection and one has Armour, and AP weapons like meltaguns do nothing against Deflection. I have a mechanics question - when an ability lasts 'until the start of your next turn', or 'for one round', how does that interact with extra mini-turns? Like, if it goes:
Are there any UI mods or config settings I've missed that make it easier to see what effects characters have on them as well? There's the mini-list that shows of like 4, but given every character rapidly ends up with like 10+ abilities on them it's a real pain to figure out who hasn't had Prescience yet, and it doesn't help it lets you recast buffs on people who already have them.

Is Jae's companion quest broken? I decided to come back after my coronation, but don't have the option at the start of Act 3, and in Act 4 she's mad at me for choosing not to do it, which seems a bit off.

Does feel weird how in Act 1 you and the NPCs are basically playing the same game, then by Act 3 you’re playing Rocket Tag Combo Factory and everyone in your party is acting 3+ times/round and dealing 4x their base damage. Triggering convoluted Bring It Down->Finest Hour chains that have characters nested three deep in someone else‘s turn.

ilitarist posted:Lack of balance and asymmetry is fun. Plenty of abilities you use would be extremely annoying if the enemies used them. Yeah, though combo-heavy games like that usually have more abstract systems. RT *appears* to be very crunchy and simulationist where even cover has mechanics for cover HP, cover efficiency and cover efficiency reduction, but if you engage with it as a simulation like it suggests you’re kneecapping yourself.

Warmachine posted:Doing all the exploring in Act 2 turns Act 4 into a game of pixel hunting to figure out which planets the new stuff is on because the Rumors list is very poorly thought-out. It's half of a quest log that doesn't function. I'm in Act 4. The pictured rumor is for the Drukhari ship that lands on Rykad Majoris in chapter 1. Not only can nothing be done with it, I investigated the site in chapter 1. I completed the rumor, but the log doesn't care, and there's no way to mark something "complete" or "ignored." Also if you’re in the Expanse view Rumours absolutely ought to have a “Go To System” button that pans the camera to their system.

Arglebargle III posted:The rule book is great for story ideas and dogshit for rule consistency and coherency. Be prepared for the GM making rulings and simplifying things because the rules are not on your side. With me and four players combing through the book we're still not sure what difficult terrain does. It's mentioned repeatedly but it's like they left out the box explaining what effect it has. Yeah, I ran loads of RT back in the day and love the setting but maaan the system is not well written. TBH I’d probably just use Imperium Maledictum now, the successor to that line of RPGs.

I assumed paths would become less deadly after multiple trips. Seems weird that you can do the Foulstone to Footfall run a dozen times and each is still just as hard as the first.

Aramoro posted:Only If you get the right random events and choose the right option in the Cassia storyline that gives you points. Even then I assume you mean the trunk routes because best will in the world you cannot turn every route green. There’s a colony building on Dargonus that drops the cost of making new routes to 1 - I guess if you beelined for it then explored afterwards, it might work? I saved Dargonus til last as I assumed finishing it would trigger the coronation and add another time limited quest.
