Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

My favourite Warhammer game ever. Sunk a huge amount of time into this game in a very small amount of time :)

I have not been this immersed in an RPG in ages. And I am not even deep into Warhammer 40K. Granted, you need patience to read A LOT. And all the many talents are a bit too detailed. But the way this world comes to life is really impressive. I played with the first 3 Story DLC. Especially the third is really cool and the companion from the first DLC is one of my favourites. I will likely play through it all again, when the final story DLC comes out. This time I was a "nice" Rogue Trader (Iconoclast) and I was amazed by the many, many dialogue options I could have chosen at many points. Don't like that one member in your retinue? Just go to the Inquisition guy and tell him to take care of the Heretic! Bam. If you wanted to, people can be thrown out the airlocks left and right. Brutal stuff! Next playthrough will likely be Dogmatic, full FOR THE EMPIRE! Which maybe fits better with the world. I don't think I could pull of a Heretic run. But who knows! Amazing game.

It's difficult to get to grips with, but stick with it. This game certainly has some rough edges to the point where I bounced off this the first time I played it and put it to the back of the list - all sorts of systems are thrown at you with bare minimum to no explanation at all, Act 1 which basically functions as the game's tutorial takes a dozen or so hours to get through with some very repetitive combat, but I'm glad I came back to this to give it another go. Under the dirt there is a great gem game here - it's faithful to 40k as you'd expect and although this is a very text heavy game compared to the amount of voice acting, what I do love is the functionality of keywords, your past choices are highlighted, if you're new to 40k, all the weird and wonderful words are explained and given detail The character build complexity very quickly drowns you in options to customise each and every character, there's been many times where I've been tempted by who I want in my party each and every time a new companion joins, I've been spoiled for choice and speaking choices, the grim darkness of the far future is certainly here. There is an overwhelming amount of choices in this game, an often you're battling the morally grey vs the morally off-white hues of the universe you've come to know and love.

还有什么好说的呢？量大管饱的文字😇

Je suis totalement nouveau dans l'univers de Warhammer. Par contre, les jeux à choix multiples, les CRPG et les jeux de stratégie, ça me connaît. J'ai chopé le jeu pour 20 balles sur Instant Gaming en me disant "allez on verra bien" et putain, quelle claque ! C'est littéralement Baldur's Gate 3, mais dans l'univers de Warhammer 40k. Même ADN : de la narration à choix multiples avec un vrai poids, des compagnons écrits avec soin (suffisamment pour moi du moins), et une vraie liberté dans la construction de son personnage. Et le meilleur, en tant que néophyte total du lore : le jeu ne te laisse jamais sur le carreau (rarement au moins). Tu passes la souris sur n'importe quel terme obscur et tu as l'explication direct. Résultat, au lieu d'être noyé sous le jargon, j'ai appris énormément de choses sans jamais quitter le jeu. C'est sûrement la meilleure porte d'entrée qui existe dans ce lore là. Ce qui m'a le plus marqué, c'est la liberté de rôleplay. Tu es un Rogue Trader, un capitaine à qui l'Imperium a signé un chèque en blanc : tu as un vaisseau, une dynastie, et un paquet de décisions à prendre. Tu peux devenir le plus grand des enfoirés, le plus pieux des hommes, ou juste un mec lambda qui essaie de faire de son mieux pour maintenir son vaisseau à flot. Les convictions (Iconoclaste, Dogmatique, Hérétique) ne sont pas juste des étiquettes, elles débloquent des dialogues et des compétences. En gros y'en a pour tous les gameplay ! Deux bémols quand même : l'interface est chargée et demande un temps d'adaptation, et le rythme des premières heures est lent. Et pour être clair, c'est un jeu exigeant : si tu détestes lire, passe ton chemin. En bref : j'en suis à une quinzaine d'heures et je suis déjà fan du jeu ET de l'univers. J'adore les mécaniques, les dialogues, le lore, les personnages. Une pure pépite, surtout à ce prix là. Juste : Prenez le jeu.

Great game but its a time suck and there is a lot of reading. Loading screens for the ship areas are annoying but it is great for people trying to get into the Warhammer 40k lore and concurrent players alike. If it was fully and had higher production value this would be even better. Character customization through builds is amazing but kind of a slog when you have to level up 7-8 characters at once in your retinue. Story is good so far but it is a bit disconnected because of all the reading I have to do. Overall excellent game and I am hooked - cant wait to see what is going to happen next in the story.
