10 Comments on Owlcat Games Announces Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy
Honestly surprised we got a Rogue Trader RPG first, the Inquisition is much better known and has a huge amount of latitude for roleplaying.
Hope we get a chance to bind a daemonhost and go full chaos at some point in the story.
Was so excited to finally get a 40K RPG but early reviews said that Rogue Trader was basically unfinished and the last few chapters had only enough content to finish the main plot and not much else.
I am already pre-disposed to just waiting for the $10 complete edition of games anyway and with Owlcat it feels like the only way to fly.
That's not a bad thing though. I've come to view Owlcat games like I do Bethesda open world games. You know how they work. And in the meantime, you can play with absolutely broken mechanics and have some fun while exploring a story.
Just don't take it too seriously and their formula works well. I mean looking at Rogue Trader, some of those progression trees must have been thought up on a friday afternoon office drinking party. The better half just doesn't even make a sliver of sense, but you can still use it somehow and make something completely not viable with it.
Its quite refreshing to play games built with such dedication and scope, but not polished down to perfection.Rogue Trader is still worth a play though. Cool stuff happens.
I think Owlcat's strategy is 'quantity first, quality later'. I mean every single one of those CRPGs is expansive, you can throw 90-120 hours in each no problem.
