    Been putting a lot of hours recently into Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a really high quality 40k game. Most of the popular (and good) Warhammer games take place in Age of Sigmar and not 40k. (Boltgun being a notable recent exception here)

    But damn, Rogue Trader really hits the nail right on the head so far. I’ve never played Dark Heresy tabletop so the ruleset takes a little getting used to for someone primarily familiar with Pathfinder rules, but once you understand the basics the rest of the game falls right into place. The lore is spot on and the adventure is fun and interesting. Highly recommend to tabletop fans and Warhammer fans each separately, and if you’re both like I am, it’s a must buy.

      I know very little about 40k or Warhammer in general, but want to give Rogue Trader a shot. I’ve read a bunch of positive comments about the game, but since it’s Owlcat, I’ll wait some months for patches to fix the game.

        I’ve only just recently gotten into Act 2 but so far I haven’t come across a single bug, actually. Seems very polished. It does require a bit of a Warhammer primer before coming in if you want to know what’s going on though. The game does a good enough job of explaining things that are important within the game but a lot of the context and fine details will escape you if you don’t know at least a little about the 40k setting at large.

          I was recently “burned” with Pathfinder: Kingmaker, which is still in rough shape, after all this time (I think there’s some fuckery going on with the publisher, where Owlcat can’t update the game anymore), so I’ll definitely give it some time. Rogue Trader might also be in a similar boat as BG3, where the later Acts have more bugs, since those weren’t in any playtests or betas, but that’s just what I read.

          I’m also fine with not getting everything, so that isn’t an issue. All I know of 40k is basically through various memes on the internet, throughout the years, so basically nothing.

            Yeah, I’m not sure what’s up with Kingmaker. It got dropped like a hot potato in favor of Wrath of The Righteous, which is to this day still receiving updates and is, in my opinion, a stellar game. Kingmaker for sure got the short end of the stick though.
