Deathworlds can have plenty of living things. They are not planets that nothing can survive in (or at least not always), they are planets it is hard for humans to survive in. For example, a Deathworld can have plenty of living things that feel human brains taste good and don't to pass up a chance to take a bite of any nearby.
i was very hesitant to look up a guide for it since i wanted to experience everything firs. but with limited play time and the steep learning curve i felt like i had to lol. loving the game so far!
Hope this gets a lot more views, you deserve it as clearly this was a massive effort. Bonus kudos for helping me understand leveling, in the last 2 pathfinder games I'd just spam options as I play on easy anyway but now I kinda get it a bit more on this game
I've been waiting a long time for this. Rogue Trader is one of my favorite RPGs from the Warhammer line. I'm glad to see if coming to the video game sphere.
Thank you for doing this. I found this game through another content creator. I've never played crpg or rpg but for whatever reason I'm finding this really interesting . Thank you for going over the ground combat with all of the indicators and how they work. You are the only one that I have found who has taken the time to explain that part in any rpg. It takes a lot of the mystery out and makes the game seem playable to a newbie. Subbed btw.
So good, so helpful. I have been playing 40k for many years, but always get worried starting games like this in case I set things up poorly at the start. This has been hugely helpful
Thanks for making this. I just bought the game and being presented with such a vast number of choices to make and things to pick from, while not yet fully understanding all the underlying mechanics and stuff felt a bit overwhelming, but after watching this guide I feel much better prepared for success. 👍
started a playthrough last night and didn't realize the intricacies of combat, builds, exploration, etc. that I was missing. New playthrough starts tonight! Amazing video
Wow! I've spent 15 hours playing blindly and having a good time. Super happy I came here to beef up the knowlege that I was missing. I was already loving the game but now I'm liking it even more.
I've wanted the game for a bit. I purchased it in the current sale. This video really takes a few watches, because there is SO MUCH INFO. Good job dude. subscribed
Just picked up Rogue Trader on Steam turn-based strategy games sale - am watching so I don't totally fudge up my first character creation, as it seems that this will be a 100+ hour game for me. Thank you for making this video!!
I've not watched the video yet, but I'm starting it now. I have a lot of XP with this type of game I played the O.G. X-com UFO Defense forever, then moved on to X-com remake and X-com 2 WotC, Wasteland 2 & 3, Jagged Alliance 3, Baldur's Gate 3 and many, older turn based games I won't list. I bought Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader last Saturday (I know nothing about the Warhammer 40K universe) and to my surprised, It was simply over my head (guess I don't have all of the XP I thought i had) I was just going to play it and learn as I went but I've been busy with work, and then I found your video, so I will just watch it and then play. Thanks, thumbs up!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, just got the game yesterday, and I feel more confident starting a playthrough now 🙂 You just gave me even more urge to play it!
WOW !!! bought this game yesterday on my wish list on sale on steam. looking for something different! I HAVE NOT EVEN FINISHED WATCHING YOUR VIDEO and I had to stop and say I am very impressed with the detail and breakdown tutorial. Great channel I hoping this plays well on my steam deck wanted something on the go.
A lot of helpful stuff, thanks! Currently exploring the first system map so quite early on. About to rescue a tech priest! It’s very addictive! Already want to reroll my character tho!
i just watched the whole video now after yesterday starting the game and feeling totally overwehelmed by the information input. now i feel ready, thanks man much appreciate it
Stayed through the entire video. This is an excellent guide, and I just picked up the game in the Steam Spring Sale. Looking forward to getting started. Thanks for the great guide!
Thank you for this video. I have always wanted to try this style of game but find it way too overwhelming to even start. But coz of this video and my love of 40k I just purchased it and going to give it a shot!! 🤠👍
Thanks so much for doing this!! The last CRPG I played was the original Baldurs Gate - things have moved on a bit since then 😂 Will defo be revisiting this video frequently, incredibly useful.
I really appreciate this guide. I've been building my guys based on "best soldier" "best operative" etc guides but I just don't understand how the skills work and how to synergize them
your making it sound like you just get all the talent choices for each homeworld 😂 i see so many new players get confused by this during character creation thinking they get all of them rather than just having them available as choices during level up, might be a good idea to be a lot clearer about that ^^ anyway great vid
I used all my Medicae packs super early. Yes, it was dumb, I kow that now, lol. Where do I find or buy more? Can I craft any from the stuff I collect in the game? Also, tip for new players, DON'T USE UP YOUR MEDICAE EARLY. Most of the enemies are going to be easy. Save them for bosses or fights later on in the game.
@@fenrir7878 you can buy tons from merchants on various planets or trading ships in space. You just need the profit factor and reputation required to purchase them, but they are usually the most accessible items in their shop
Thank you, this video helps me a lot to get a grip on what's what in the game. Pretty confusing for first timer like me, because I never play a Warhammer 40k game.
Excellent, just what I needed as a newbie to this universe. I've bought various WH40k games before but did not get into them, partly because this stuff was not readily available as you've made it. Thanks!
Nice informative video man. I downloaded the game and realized warhammer has very different lingo than typical crpgs. Watched this video while cooking dinner and I feel like I’m ready to play for sure.
you picked literally my character lmao. this video deserves more views for sure (the tutorial is good but doesnt explain everything), I really want to understand what Im doing and not pick random shit that may hurt me in the process, I really like the game so this comes truly handy
Great video:) I would love to have a video that explains steam deck controls. I really want to like this game and want to play on the go. I started a game on steam deck but found the controls a little difficult.
Had to get my phone after randomly putting YT on to say this, spot on my man this vid slaps 👏 Great in depth breakdowns, wicked informative. Going to openly refer to this for an upcoming project I’m waiting for time to try out if you don’t mind? Liked, subbed and plan on checking more of your work 🤙 Familiar with Ciaphus? I want to pick your brain a bit.
Well, this video is a near must see if you are going to play the game for the first time unless you want to go in near completely blind which is fun too. 8:45 I was half paying attention and heard something along the line of *War Hams* helping you to get ultimates faster.
Hi there, thoroughly enjoyed your video, and am loving the game so far, (Just started) but have no idea what the "Stacks" are, and how they work, you did not seem to cover them.
Never played any Warhammmer 40k stuff like some of the RPG's but not done many turn based tactical ones - been checking out some video to see if it something i might like. How does MP co-op work? Is it just drop in and out or does the co-op have to be around for whole save/playthrough save?
If I know I can end a fight very soon, is there any penalty to using a desperate measure? Do I start the next combat with less momentum, does it afflict my party with a debuff?
I bought the game in the winter sale, and just jumped in. The options looked ... a lot ... but I just decided to make Athena Asamiya, who is a psycho soldier. Turns out, giving a spellcaster extra attacks is pretty good.
I despise guides for games and what the internet in general has done to gaming (primarily pvp-games) but Jesus Christ, I truly need to atleast skim through this. I'm playing on playstation 5 and the UI is confusing and there is A LOT of stuff. I will keep comin' back to this video a few times when I'm stuck droolin with crossed eyes.
Hello! I'm a bit late to the party but I can't find this answer anywhere! What does "Must Not Have Feature" mean? Does that mean if I choose Dhrukari weapon proficiency, that'll prohibit me from using some other gear?
Using abelards ulti after using all his skills and then using the officer ulti to give abelard another turn he can kill about 10-20 enemies. Very busted mechanic imo, but the amount of chaff units that are thrown at you is very high aswell.
i'm considering buying it, but how is it compared to Mechanicus? i played Mechanicus just for some moments and found it's too difficult (our techpriest neophytes too weak while necrons too strong and too many)

How much did Owlcat pay you for this comment?
I've been waiting a long time for this. Rogue Trader is one of my favorite RPGs from the Warhammer line. I'm glad to see if coming to the video game sphere.
Its amazing, owlcat gaming really knocked it out of the park with this one. I hope you enjoy it!
If you enjoy the video be sure to share with a friend you think might play the game!
This game looks awesome. It has a lot of what I liked about BG3
What a great guide. So much useful info delivered in a easy to understand manner. And without too many spoilers .
Dude that respec tip is gold, as well as adding custom team mates, comes in handy for the heretic run!

Easily the best RT guide on UA-cam - amazing!!! Subbed and recommended, just next level compared to any other guides out there. 10/10.

Very good guide for starters. Covers pretty much everything to know for a start into the game.

Warhammer lore works SO well in a choice-driven CRPG title. amazing amazing world / lore / story
Excellent guide, love your easy to understand delivery. Straight to the point and super informative. Thanks man.
New subscriber.

Fantastic guide, thank you! Oh and I totally agree with you, this game is a blast. I was super hyped for this game and I was no disappointed!
I missed the beta and I was so bummed man 🤣
best beginner guide right now. great!
your making it sound like you just get all the talent choices for each homeworld 😂 i see so many new players get confused by this during character creation thinking they get all of them rather than just having them available as choices during level up, might be a good idea to be a lot clearer about that ^^
anyway great vid
What a fantastic video. Clear and concise explanations and well made. Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome guide, really helped clarify things even after ive got 50hrs of gameplay, thanks for the effort, inspirational
Incredibly helpful guide for all us WH40K newbies. Thank you :-)

Amazing guide! just what i needed as a complete warhammer newbie
Thanks a ton for the guide. I'm really looking forward to trying it out. I'm thinking a charismatic infantry commander
Got it yesterday and I'm really enjoying it, listened to this while cooking & eating my dinner was really helpfull.
Spose i better go play it now.
This video convinced me to buy the game. Cheers!

Fantastic Video!!! Thank you for putting together such an informative guide
Tx for the guide. Just starting in the Warhammer series. Great game.
Awesome guide! I just bought the game and this is going to really help me out thanks. Would you be able to do a guide on the new DLC by any chance?
you picked literally my character lmao. this video deserves more views for sure (the tutorial is good but doesnt explain everything), I really want to understand what Im doing and not pick random shit that may hurt me in the process, I really like the game so this comes truly handy
How long have you worked for Owlcat games and can I join you?
Thank you very much, the much needed guide.
Glad it helped
Great video:) I would love to have a video that explains steam deck controls. I really want to like this game and want to play on the go. I started a game on steam deck but found the controls a little difficult.
I always love searching for a guide and seeing your name come up!
My man 🙏
Answered so many questions I didn't know I had!
Super informative . Well laid out. Thank you!
Had to get my phone after randomly putting YT on to say this, spot on my man this vid slaps 👏
Great in depth breakdowns, wicked informative. Going to openly refer to this for an upcoming project I’m waiting for time to try out if you don’t mind?
Liked, subbed and plan on checking more of your work 🤙
Familiar with Ciaphus? I want to pick your brain a bit.
yeah this game has been awesome so far!
Wish I had seen this before I started the game. Would've saved me a whole lot of trouble
This tutorial is a work of art!
It's very useful and I thank you very much for doing it!
Compliments!
Thank you! Cheers!
Well, this video is a near must see if you are going to play the game for the first time unless you want to go in near completely blind which is fun too.
8:45 I was half paying attention and heard something along the line of *War Hams* helping you to get ultimates faster.
Watched the whole thing brilliant guide thanks!
I will check this out but having tried to play it I find it hard to get into.
Hi there, thoroughly enjoyed your video, and am loving the game so far, (Just started) but have no idea what the "Stacks" are, and how they work, you did not seem to cover them.
Thanks man, I'm sure this,will grant me a god start as complete newbie.
Best of luck!
Great video. Thanks. Can I practically become a “grey knight” - Meele tank with psychic abilities? 🔥
Im here after platinum the ps version of bg3. Now its time to learn warhammer 40k rogue trader before i play it
Mood bro. Coming in from the Xbox side.
Feels. Doing a second playthrough of bg3 now and just had to pick this up. Plan to get into it soon myself.
@ i finished warhammer last year. Great game
Wtf, when did 1 and a half hour pass? Rly enjoyed it as I'm getting ready to start Rogue Trader as a begineer .
Great guide. Very well explained.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic guide! Great to see all the ways Ive messed up creating/leveling my Trader Lmao
Never played any Warhammmer 40k
stuff like some of the RPG's but not done many turn based tactical ones - been checking out some video to see if it something i might like.
How does MP co-op work? Is it just drop in and out or does the co-op have to be around for whole save/playthrough save?
Excellent video, one thing I missed is how exploits work in combat.
excellent. very useful indeed.
good video, just subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Great guide, thanks
my pleasure! thanks for the comment!
If I know I can end a fight very soon, is there any penalty to using a desperate measure? Do I start the next combat with less momentum, does it afflict my party with a debuff?
I bought the game in the winter sale, and just jumped in.
The options looked ... a lot ... but I just decided to make Athena Asamiya, who is a psycho soldier.
Turns out, giving a spellcaster extra attacks is pretty good.
Awesome work
thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
can you create / recruit full custom party ? or only the one char custom ?
You can make multiple custom characters!
Good guide :)
How would calling wounds hp change the lore?
1:21:31 this is crazy. I never thought it would be this way
How to revive a downed character in combat??
how do you switch weapons with controller please?
Just finished the prologue, but where can i find a shopkeeper that sells more medicae?
when you're in various towns on any planet, or when you run into ships that you can trade with in space
I despise guides for games and what the internet in general has done to gaming (primarily pvp-games) but Jesus Christ, I truly need to atleast skim through this.
I'm playing on playstation 5 and the UI is confusing and there is A LOT of stuff.
I will keep comin' back to this video a few times when I'm stuck droolin with crossed eyes.
I cant land shit im on the first mission THE FIRST after the prologue and in getting one shot with power swings
great video
Hello! I'm a bit late to the party but I can't find this answer anywhere! What does "Must Not Have Feature" mean? Does that mean if I choose Dhrukari weapon proficiency, that'll prohibit me from using some other gear?
Is there a way to buy med kits
in chapter one
Using abelards ulti after using all his skills and then using the officer ulti to give abelard another turn he can kill about 10-20 enemies. Very busted mechanic imo, but the amount of chaff units that are thrown at you is very high aswell.
i'm considering buying it, but how is it compared to Mechanicus? i played Mechanicus just for some moments and found it's too difficult (our techpriest neophytes too weak while necrons too strong and too many)
If i am Votary on dogmatic does this mean i can no longer choose any iconoclast choices?
Why isn’t blade dancer on here? Is it dlc?
This was a great guide, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
