The universe of Warhammer 40k is totally unknown to me. Only reason I bought this game is because I like CRPG, Owlcat and played tons of both Pathfinder. I have NO idea what I'm getting in.
@@TheDragonfriday Everyone in WH40K are the good guys. They are good guys by keeping their race alive and destroying other races and getting new planets and resources for their race.
The tabletop version is great, owlcat did a great job making the game feel like a literal video game version of the tabletop 😅 you’re basically the GM playing the game on your own but in the tabletop, the rogue trader could be an NPC and everyone plays as lowly crew members accepting orders from the rogue traders. Classes are now implemented in your companions so you won’t really miss out on most builds from the tabletop.
@@crow4936you may’ve already seen this (and I may be misunderstanding it), but they’ve announced a DLC that will let you have an assassin in your party I think
@@Unblacklievable yeah a death cult assassin , I was looking more at the others and also maybe genstealer cult stuff but I guys the games not big enough.
@@crow4936 The region it’s set in, the Koronus Expanse which was created for the Rogue Trader tabletop RPG, is a fair way away from the hive fleets and hasn’t had Tyranid or genestealer incursions at the time the RPG was set (the TTRPG came out before the 13th Black Crusade and before GW made genestealer cults an actual faction in the wargame).
Depending on the range of the Biomancy abilities, you could do a ranged combat medic like build. Heavy armor and some sort of melta/ high damage gun raining death while buffing and healing in the middle of battle.
@@shadowmarine156 I already did see videos that confirmed that the biomancer is a pretty strong melee build. Other builds are hopefuly viable too for the biomancer.
@@sagittariusa9012 I'm hoping for a build where i can stand mid line so i can buff and heal the front line while also absorbing any damage that would normally go to the back line/castors while still occasionally melting targets with a heavy gun
Note on the regimental tactics ability, some difficulty options affect minimum damage against enemies, there is currently a bug in the game and friendly fire is affected by these settings so if you have any of these minimum damage options on, default with normal difficulty, then even with protection from friendly fire your allies will take this minimum damage.
Great video. Like you, I am a novice with regard to WH40K. I have read a couple of the books, but I have never played the game. I appreciate your time and effort on this video. Thank you! It helped me! Minor nit: I am an engineer and a nerd, but the grammar school marms did right by me. 😃 1:35. "They are not all created equal." It should be "created equally", as equal is acting as an adverb here.
Bounty hunter is crazy man, both savour the kill and trail proc every "at the start of your turn" "at the end of your turn" abilities/talent, and cassio is very happy whenever my bh proc extra turn outside of officer skills
Mines a psycher that's fallen to the warp but isn't brainless enough to just attack and kill everything I'm slowly planting seeds of corruption across the expamse6
For what its worth - Crime Lord works alarmingly well with a forgeworld warrior Assassin. Good god the amount of movement speed and dodge (and dodge rating is damage for Assassins) the Locomotion forge world trait gives is absolutely insane and power weapons sheer through armor like nothing else. You are basically pulling stunts from The Matrix, in universe you are basically an unsanctioned Ad Mech Sicarian Infiltrator/Ruststalker - YOU FAST BOI.
I love this game. My first play through had too many bugs and the patches didn't help. I restarted yesterday with all of the patches and it's super fun. Hive World crime lord soldier has such fun gameplay and dialogue.
20:00 the pyro isnt worth picking. tried it and was out damaging its abilities, at power 4, with my sniper. i really hated its attack options, either a single target which does nice damage but again sniper keeps up with it or a line which you rarely have enemies in place for multi hits with a line and this was disappointing for a class described as one of the most destructive types of psykers.
It's actually a great RPG! So I think you should choose your character based on your personal tastes, not of which one is better. And system works perfectly here! Made a Commissar from hive-world, who uncovered a plot in his regiment and was nearly killed in the outcome.. so most of this results in perks, abilities and penalties)
Started fresh with a crime lord, soldier, fortress world.. so many options.. The big one for me witch to go for between heretic, dogmatic or iconoclast.. leveling would be a chore if not for all the cool options.. can respec before leveling next class so don't sweat it too much
So happy, I always wanted to get into warhammer 40k and now i finally found the right game to do so.. i believe ima get my ass kicked first time around but cant wait to learn this game in time. I definitely cant wait to get into the lore of this game. Wish me luck!!!
I know I'm late. But if I wanted to a fellowship/ranged main character what would I do? (If possible. I like to always try and have dialogue/RP on my main character)
Hey I just downloaded this game too! I think an operative psykerer could work. Psykerkers start with a sniper rifle and alot of operative abilities help ranged attacks hope this helps!!
I think multiple operatives have synergy. Pascal and Idira are operatives. They stack exploits passively. They don't need to be fully built operatives.
Thank you for this, now for the real deal, you need Cassia, Argenta with a gun and everyone else as an officer buffing and debuffing like maniacs...and that's it...😂
Started yesterday im lost af. Basically jst movin n attacking , no idea about anything else. No clue what im leveling up either. Haven't played DD since the early 90s.
Forge world is a good homework origin for warrior if you want high armor rate based on toughness. They get a passive that boost Power armor gear as well. Death world is also a choice since it focus on Berserker and survival style traits. Navy officer is a more tank focus profession origin as well.
Dont get how Regimental Tactics works... Allies being adjacent to me makes sense, but do enemies have to be adjacent to me (or adjacent to an ally, that is adjacent to me to get that bonus damage?), considering it seems to encourage a RANGED character. With the way its worded, it seems like it will only give a buff against enemies that are adjacent to a character benefiting from this ability... which makes no sense. Allies having to be adjacent to the character giving this ability to benefit from it is fine and makes sense, but with the way its worded it seems like a melee range ability... on class that seems to encourage ranged.
it says all your allies (if i'm not mistaken so not the ones next to you) Your party deals bonus dmg against all enemies standing next to one of your party members It removes friendly fire dammage (you still hit but do 0 dmg) So example you have a melee guy surounded by 3 dudes, you pop this and now those 3 dudes take extra dmg from your guy standing next to them and they take more dmg from your ranged guys, you can trow grenades in the big melee blob or bbg the whole area and you wouldn't hurt your own guy
IDK, it just feels like a shitty, useless ability. If it only increases damage for melee (effectively) then it needs to be reworked IMO, since that makes no sense from a design perspective. Ability that only helps melee, on an origin that wants you to build ranged. Terrible IMO. Thinking of restarting just to get an agility that has any use.@@Dorphin01
@@hansyolo8277It does what it says. Pop regimental tactics. Lure enemy into melee (trap). Open fire on them. A 30% bonus to damage at level 1 is enough to one shot most enemies, and kill the Chaos spawn in a single turn on Unfair difficulty. The melee dude is just the bait for the trap for everyone else to blast the mob/high value target. Edit: Run Abelard in. Use taunt/wait until enemies are surrounding him, or target a boss you need killed/pinned in place. Regimental tactics for damage buff and so Abelard doesnt get team killed. Argenta uses (rapidfire)Burst > Run and Gun > Burst. She shoots 15+ shots at Abelard who just sips tea while holy bolter fire turns everything around him to bits. Abelard is completely unharmed.
Thank you for the video. Gonna say I would really like to play this game, but I feel that I would just be overwhelmed with everything in there. So many talents to use in combat, with multiple characters, doesn´t that become exhausting very fast?
Woah woah woah now "Codyak"? I did not expect to run into anyone who used the same pun name as myself, and even better than it's the other spelling. Alright then.
love 40k, nice to actually have a good computer game from them as they have so many bad ones through the years. think earliest good one I played was shadow of the horned rat if not including good old chaos from spectrum.
I love all the difficulty options I freaking love owlcat for giving options in their game...I love the genre but find it a bit frustrating often....but OC really really loves to give me options to customize my experience
So, I watched the whole video, but I spent 3 or 4 hours looking at the character creator and watching someone else play through some of the starting game. I've still got no idea what is good or did you try and say it's all good just pick right. See I'm still an idiot.
You know what...you're right. No idea why I've just assumed CRPG meant classic-RPG. To be fair, Computer-role playing game might have made sense when consoles didn't have similar capabilities, but it certainly seems like an antiquated term now.

i will be in the same boat or ship as you
It’s an awesome extremely grim universe with lots of awesome ongoing and one shot stories.

There is no such thing as good guys.
That includes humans just to be clear

Sanctic psyker officer build is absolutely beastly.
huh, I'd always thought cRPG stood for computer role playing game.
The game does a great work of introducing folks to 40K. After the prologue you will know basically everything you need.
Yup!!

there is a option on the sword frig one the npc's on the bridge you can talk to them and reset your characters
Looks like I'll be making a warrior for my first playthrough! This overview has been very informative. Thank you for the video.
I plan on going for a Hive World Crime Lord Soldier/Bounty Hunter with the head canon of them being a "reformed" hive-ganger turned bounty hunter.
sounds like a fun playthrough!
Bounty hunter is crazy man, both savour the kill and trail proc every "at the start of your turn" "at the end of your turn" abilities/talent, and cassio is very happy whenever my bh proc extra turn outside of officer skills

Bounty hunter where in necromunda at one point I dunno about now but you could hire them as any gang.

So far it feels like the biomancer, sactic, and maybe the pyromancer go amazing with warrior but haven't spent too much time with the other archetypes
Daring worked great for me outside of the act 3 bossfight and the start of act 4

Hello, what is the most "realistic" configuration that you could apply to this game? Intelligent AI, enemies that are not damage sponges... thanks!!
Let’s see some character builds please!!!
Excellent info. Thanks
Amazing editing. Cheers!
Love it! Keepem Coming
Some common synergy recommendations would be nice!
I just started a game as a death world licenced psycher biomancer blade dancer - so far so great!
Started yesterday im lost af. Basically jst movin n attacking , no idea about anything else. No clue what im leveling up either. Haven't played DD since the early 90s.
Warhammer 40k has always fascinated me but I never really played it. This is my first game. It’s really cool! But I’m lost as hell! lol
It's a game with a ton of depth and nuance. Takes quite a bit to get acclimated.
Let's goo!!!
I've never played a Warhammer game this might just be my first.
New players going to be shocked by how rude everyone is in a Warhammer universe 😂
Thank you for your work for us ...
this is such an amazing CRPG and I hope its success will be in the BG3 direction but I doubt it cause there is no hype train for this game
how is this the first crpg in warhammer universe? what is adeptus mechanicus?
Adeptus mechanics is more x-com like game
I don't really see an origin that would just focus on weapon + STR + TGH to create a great warrior without any bionics powers sadly... :(
Forge world is a good homework origin for warrior if you want high armor rate based on toughness. They get a passive that boost Power armor gear as well. Death world is also a choice since it focus on Berserker and survival style traits.
Navy officer is a more tank focus profession origin as well.

It was buggy but it was still the best gaming experince of this year for me.
Premade characters? Yeah, how about: No? Especially since none of them is a PSYKER (the only class I find interesting) :)
great game, i have already 300h and its awsome.
Thank you for the video. Gonna say I would really like to play this game, but I feel that I would just be overwhelmed with everything in there. So many talents to use in combat, with multiple characters, doesn´t that become exhausting very fast?
Anything but. It's a much simpler system than Pathfinder. And Owlcat tutorializes it well. And watching the synergies pay off is a blast.
As a experienced CRPG player and completed both Pathfinder, I immediately gone to unfair. But this is game is more forgiving than PFWOTR at the start.
Woah woah woah now

They did. cRPG and jRPG.
Make video about best solo character pls
Sanction Psycher is the only background unless you pick for RP reasons.
Meanwhile my crimelord getting about 50% bonus dmg/dodge/parry every turn.
Crimelord is amazing for dmg.
How different is this from 40K: Mechanicus
More characters development and life paths.
Mechanicus is a dungeon crawl, while Rouge Traider is an RPG.
Dungeon crawler vs CRPG. Both are turn based but I'm pretty sure the combat works much differently
The perfect start? Saving Winterscale's son first before going to Cassia. rofl. BOOM!
Hello. I just begin. Can you explain?
Why necrons always left behind, where is the tomb world
i have played both pathfinders games ,, over 1k hours ,, this is pathfinder in space ...lol . lot of reading
Just basic for beginners not a perfect start helper.. change your title
solider
The combat in this game makes no sense to me what so ever.
They are not Cyprus based. They are russians
Is it better than Realms of Ruin? Because that was a bust
Anything Age of Sigmar is doomed to fail. GWS needs to launch the old world already and make it their flagship again.
Realms of Ruin is an RTS (like Age of Empires 2), this is an CRPG (like Baldur's Gate 3). Different genres.
A lot of talking but very little content
Too bad thought could be a good video, but after the sponsored at owlcat immediately switched off.
The game having mobile game graphics, the movement so stiff,
Jeez what happen to "next gen" thingy
You are wrong
@@marquisepixley684 Wong about what? Look at the graphic
wtf are you smoking?
@@ohnoitisnt666 Maybe you are smoking something so instead blame me I have it
Perfect start = ignoring this beyond mediocre broken outdated mess of a game
Dont support a company's that hate its fan base.

Just listening to this makes me bored let alone playing it
Good bye then
lol short attention span. There are drugs for that.
I play alot of crpg i love how hars unfair is 🫡😁
