What's interesting is most people considered the Officer class overpowered thus some of its abilities being nerfed. Which was annoying because the nerf came in the middle of my playthrough where my Rogue Trader was an officer, and I always had Cassia, my Rogue Trader's love interest who is an officer in my party unless something prevented me from doing so. And I sometimes had Jae, another officer, in my party as well. So my typical party had two or even three officers and several times I found myself having trouble during a battle because I based my plans around tactics that worked before the nerf but couldn't be used after the nerf Depending on when you started though it my just be tht you only played after the Officer nerfing
dude cassia is awesome. She's not my Rouge Trader's Love interest....thought I'm trying to make it so? Idk if it's possible to dump the one I'm with rn lol. IDK about the "officer nerfing" This might make me....change my opinion as my RT was a officer too.... and I made them both snipers lol so they were always in the rear using that ability that gives them an extra shot. XD That rear row was just 2 sexy snipers. lol
@@OB.x Basically you can only use the extra shot ability on a character once per round now. When I started if you wanted to you could have every officer in your party give extra shots to the same character. Unfortuntely I think you have to start Cassia's romance path early. I'm pretty sure it has to be started before chapter three, and she needed to be in the party at the first big event of the chapter.
See I am new to the warhammer series so I tried to have 1 of each class in my party just to experience as much as possible so the only officer I had was Cassia even tho I romanced Jae. >.< I started the game when it first came out and finished it in mid february so I didnt notice any officer nerfs. Then again it didn't really matter when either my RT who was a sniper head shotted 4-5 enemies on turn 1 or Argenta/Idira rained fire and lightning wiping out group of enemies
@@Sonicchilled You wouldn't notice the nerf unless you used multiple officers in your party because the most noticeable thing it did, to me at least, was prevent multiple officers from using one of a specific Officer ability on the same party member in single round. Also it sounds like you finished the game around the time the nerf hit so maybe before it happened. I don't remember the exact date the update with the nerf came but based on some message bord posts I made during my run it was between 2/13 and 2/22.
Gonna pop up with some critcism, lets go! 1. You shown up 4 classes as overpowered in the review, archmilitant already got nerfed, officer that you didnt talk about, literally doubles effectiveness of one of your party members by choice, its more like other classes then those would be better off stronger then making those classes weaker (i think your non-tank characters having more hp and less damage in general would suit game better) 2. Being able to defeat combat enemies with a bug before the fight isn't, like, crucial? You could just not do that, that shouldn't ruin a fight for you, what would ruin a fight for you, is how my fighters charge bugged ONLY in the last section, and instead of running to the target they ran to other side of the map ahahahaha 3. Also about rumors, i agree that completed rumors should be shown up as completed, i think they also went to fix most of it in latest big patch (after i finished the game), but rumors itself not being a quest but instead, well, rumors, add up much more to me then if it was just a bloody quest marker. I completed them all and i didnt google shit for this game One of my main problems was how overwhelming leveling was early on, with 6 character party trying to understand what direction to push all my characters slowed down the pace a lot, and recommended abilites are not great picks sadly Its funny to me how final antaghonist was pretty much expected, I wasn't certain, but it was expected, the picture pretty much connected in act 3. I went into rogue trader with lower expectation prepared to meet buggy mess, and, well, it kinda was, but it was much much better technically then i thought. Outside of occasionally KILLING MY SOUND AND RESETTING MY PC, i havent met a single combat bug (maybe some long fight loads rarely) outside of final act with charge attacks, which was very surprising to me. Most quests worked (and i dont remember what broke or i didnt notice), i really liked the combat flow of the game, but, i have a grugde on several fights for being absolutely bloody unfair, they did act 3 perfectly, every fight was combination of difficult and manageable, but some act 1 fights (because game doesn't really stop your directions) and act 4 fights (eldar snipers fight and final boss phase 1 specifically) were so actually unreal that i spent too much time retrying them. I would like to make my own review on rogue trader, but now its hard to say since some stuff changed + its been 2 months since i finished it, and id replay it only with my friends Id give a game, like, 8.3 out of 10. Missing voice acting hits hard, being called monkey in every fight hurts, but it was a great and unexpected experience for me.
Appreciate your thoughts and criticism. 1. I finished the game mid February and the archmilitant was not nerfed at the time. For the officer class I know it was strong but I don't think it would be strong if it was not for the other class's IE giving the archmilitant that can clear 8-10 enemies in one attack an extra turn or attack. Yrliet and Marazhai were not often in my party so I did not have much experience with the assassin class but I did feel they where strong when I played them. Oddly enough and I think its because of the skills I choose but my non tank characters rarely went below 50% health during combat. 2. You are correct I could just choose not use the bug however I like testing to see how far I could take it. Also the bug itself was almost unavoidable for me not to trigger as what happened was my psyker characters would damage enemies nearby in the placement phase so I always started combat with some damage already inflicted. 3. Again I think I finished the game before they patched it but I like to go everywhere when I play these types of games so I did go to every system, scan every planet and visit every location. And I still had incomplete rumor's, I wanted some sort of indicator that a rumor was completed, or failed, or doable in an Act. I recently started playing dragon age II and they also had a rumor system however with that system at the end of the rumor there was a line "But nothing can be done about it right now" or "this cant be investigated right now" I'm glad I am not the only one who found the leveling confusing. I had to reset my characters levels so many times in the early game. I also played this on normal cause I like enjoying the story and lore so the only tough fights I ran into was the final act 3 fight and Idira's companion quests final fight Great thing about games like this and especially from past experience with Owlcats previous games is that they age like fine wine. So maybe in a year or so most of these issues will probably be patched or fixed.
Sounds very interesting, thanks for the review! Too bad for the bugs, but they don't seem that annoying. BTW, I haven't played the game, but I know WH40K lore, and no, it's not like JPRGs - you can't kill gods. They're gods. It's arguably easier to destroy the entire galaxy than to kill one of the gods.
Thanks for the compliments. The bug I ran into ruined some of the fights. For example in my playthrough on youtube for the final battles I was able to defeat the enemies without entering combat. But ya story wise I was expecting to fight one group and the writing took a complete detour to a different group
The shittiest part of the Rogue Trader CRPG is that it's set in the setting of nu41k instead of WH40k, apparently at the forced insistence of James' Wokeshop.
@@Sonicchilled You've found one of the lovely basement dwelling creatures in 40k we call "that guy", they like 40k because it gives them an excuse to talk about the need for racial purity and openly support nazi armies. They like to complain 40k has gone woke because women talk sometimes and some of the characters are none-europeans. The irony being 40k has always had diversity before it was even culturally "in vogue". The imperium is comprised of a wide variety of planets based on many different ethnicities, it was designed this way so you could play with any historical inspiration you chose. Sisters of battle have always been a thing, female inquisitors as well. But the anti-sjws need to find something to complain about so you get comments like this. I wouldn't like this guys comment, he probably has "interesting" things to say about the holocaust.
@@Sonicchilled They did infact made 40k for kids version, although the guy above feels like one of the russians on the STALKER forums calling the whole drama with removing russian language as a "secret plot of the polish"

The character models don't look much better than Dragon Age Origins.
Your not wrong >.< but with games like this and the camera angles. I don't think the character models were a major focus
Cassia is probably the most broken character in the game.
Ya she was strong on her own especially with her movement speed
Too many loading screen. it is one of my principal reproach.
Agreed especially when traveling from system to system
Sounds very interesting, thanks for the review! Too bad for the bugs, but they don't seem that annoying.
