bollocks
this was like the last thing i had to do in the star system
so now i need to fly around to get the colony projects to work
oh wait it's just letting me insta complete them?
The Compliance stat affects project completion speed. At Compliance 10 it's just instant.
oh cool
yeah i've mostly finished up with the other colonies
and most of the quests
Something I do for easy traversal is use Navigator Insight to create paths connecting the capital to the other colonies and them making the paths green.
Also make a path from Foulstone to Foothold
mhm
i have like zero insight rn
fuck i need resources badly
always at a deficit of one thing or another
got everything squared away
act 3 time
what a dystopian start lmao
"the rogue trader has granted everyone rations and fuel for the day"
firearm mastery is actually so fucking good on Argenta with the heavy bolter
you use the area attack to just melt everything then start single target killing everyone who survives with the like 20 extra attacks you get
might respec Argenta to Arch Militant so she can attack enemies in melee range with her bolter
things went from bad to worse real quick
Arch Militant Argenta is sort of the Default Play, yeah
makes sense
i have two guns on her so her being able to fire them from melee range is
kind of fucking good
I usually have a flamer in her second weapon slot
she's got a sniper and the heavy bolter for me, but i should probably swap out the sniper since the bolter has guaranteed hits on single target shots
might as well be a sniper
They fixed it, but for a while the pistol that gave you extra attacks if you crit would give you an extra attack on each crit. This was very stupid with confident approach
ngl gonna need to redo all of my gear setups after getting my stuff back
some of the items i've found in here are crazy good
yeah that's act 3
my characters look pretty cool after trading around all my stuff
i really wanted to give Argenta the sisters helmet i found
but it's a double critical damage bonus for xenos, demons and psykers, and the current helmet she has is a flat +18% damage to ranged attacks
Abelard looks like he's one step away from being a fucking Space Marine though
well
just learned who killed Theodora
what a crazy thing to randomly drop mid convo about something else
Kind of fucked that the only way you learn that is to ||bring Argenta with you into Act 3||.
Other fun fact. ||Argenta starts with an autopistol in her second weapon slot when you meet her. Theodora was said to have died to one.||
Yup that's the only way to learn this.
got a weapon called Sweet perdition from a book scene
apparently it's hard to get?
ngl i didn't even need to savescum for whatever that was i just did it first try
I think it required passing the skill checks?
Or by selecting certain ones? IDK I've never been too clear on what gets you the rifle.
the rifle was significantly worse than what i had so
I kinda like the storybook hunting segment
yeah same
Argenta just did around 860 damage in one attack
Yeah Soldier/Arch Mil breaks the game over it's knee
And then you throw Argenta's unique guear on top
doing a bit of respeccing to account for new gear and such
christ alive, got a shotgun that does 70-100 damage base,
I think that's the most kitted out yrliet I've ever seen
She did not do well in my game,
i got her a drukhari helmet that allows her to guarantee crits against enemids in cover
and drukhari gloves that uh
ignore cover bonuses
suffice to say enemies seeking cover against her will find no comfort
i can also guarantee crits normally
and do like 3 attacks per turn
with her
Argenta also finally got her bolt relic back so her heroic ability now gives her iirc like 12-15 guaranteed hit shots
on top of her ludicrous room melting burst attack
and i got a fire staff fot my character as well so she also now has a room melting burst attack
also Yrliet now has dual wield proficiency for if she gets into melee combat and Argenta got heavy armor proficiency so she could wear an 85% heavy armor i got from trading
They added a bunch of extra Eldar gear I believe
Oh do we have any news about the final DLC? I was waiting for it
been hoarding all the unique weapons, trinkets, ship upgrades and armor that i get and i think at this point i might just be better off selling it all
Rat Hunting is a really obnoxious quest
and ofc i can't offload Jae before doing the rest of this area so i'm just stuck being down one character
I mean, she's still an officer so that's just an extra turn for one of your big hitters.
yeah you just buff and give extra turns to Argenta to make her mulch things faster
true
also jae is the best skillbot in the game by a huge margin
Cold Trader's Acumen is such a funny passive.
It's so good it honestly makes me annoyed. XD
Jae basically feels like the protagonist of an unrelated game, it's awkward to slot her in imho
That feeling when the smuggler is the better Tech Use/Logic character than the Tech Priest.
wish I could get that on my MC
maybe I'll try and do that with mods next time I play
Yeah Toybox could probably do that.
I did it once, yeah
It's very good/powerful if you want the protagonist to be good at things
she's awkward in combat because she's competing for a very similar slot to Cassia without being cassia but for narrative stuff the fact that she can be at 150-200 in 3/4 of the skill options makes building everyone else as combat monsters way more tolerable
I do like my MC solving narrative checks
makes team building easier
But like if Acumen only boosted non combat skills that would be one thing but it also boosts combat things as well.
CTA is imo a requirement to make a skillbot build like Jae's not completely nonfunctional in combat
in TT RT or DH Jae would be throwing grenades and plinking but that's pretty disappointing
Jae is a pretty rock-solid Master Tactician imo
got some more power armor
going to respec Argenta again and trade her heavy armor proficiency for power armor proficiency
I believe she gets power armor proficiency automatically? Or maybe there's just the one suit that doesn't require it for her
I think she comes with it already
Yeah she doesn't have to pay the feat tax to be able to use Bolters, Flamers, and Power Armor
but she also can't use any normal power armor which is annoying
bro i'm charming one of the noble guys wife and it's pissing him off so bad
i've got the rizz as the kids say
ok there is actually reference to someone from Theodora's retinue killing her
even if it doesn't name who
Nah that's her saying you killed Theodora.
That's the story Kunrad has been spreading.
i'm glad i didn't try to let the crew deal with that chaos combat
that was like 5 primal bloodthirsters and a Chaos Space Marine lmao
godsdamn it, found myself on a crone world
well hell, i've been to Commoragh, this can't be worse
i feel mad cool wearing full power armor like this
ignatus or light?
?
power armor
then again i doubt this game has the warhammer wrath and glory power armor
All of the power armor in RT is specific relic suits
i see
yeah i'm wearing the Thunder Bearer armor
the damage it does is calculated using the wearers psy-rating so it's a psyker specific one
very cool
very cool
Cassia and Yrliet are going to have to forego power armor but i think i will be getting one for Argenta is things pan out well
Cassia has a dodge based one that increases dodge for every round they aren't attacked and Yrliet has Khaine's Revenge which makes her counterattack any and all attacks made on her, even allowing her to use her sniper in melee range
cool
lol, i'm so scary to these enemies they just surrendered
the heretics watching as three power armored people approach them
they're going to get obliterated
they iterally said "we calculated the fight and our chance of winning was zero, please spare us"
that's fun
yep
wanna know my warhammer 40k wrath and glory character?
sure
he's called Pascal dimorez
after our techpriest pascal
he is a tech acolyte/explorator type character
he has mechanical legs and eyes
aswell as an optical mechadendrit
mechadendrite
he also has the binary chatter talent
he is armed with an arc pistol
and a refractor field
his items are a dataslate some holy oil
and a respirator
he's quite good in many things
he was born on the forgeworld of the gilead system
and thus was indoctrinated into the omnissiahs believe since he was a child
oh forgot
he got a mulitool
whatdoya think?
sounds neat
:)
not keen on this defiler fight
having low agi on anyone in this game is a fucking death sentence
woe is me for trying to make sure my characters have good stats and builds that they don't get to do anything with cause every single enemy in every fight gets to do their turns first
Huh, I didn't find it to be too big of an issue
doing one of the final battles of the chapter and the space marines genuinely just melt all my characters turn one no matter what i do
lost three characters to one attack
if not that then abelard gets taken out in one turn by the first attacking space marine
yeah once again 3 characters dead round 1
ok genuinely just
me and Abelard survived
everyone else died and we cleaned house
jfc
Abelard fought like 4 space marines
ok thank FUCK everyone was revived, i did not want to do the rest of this fight with just Abelard and myself
is that the fight ||right before the lord of change? I find the space marine adds to be more difficult than the boss||
yes
the adds genuinely killed all 4 of my party that died
the boss did literally nothing, i killed it in one turn
bro died in a single turn to my rogue trader
well Argenta clutched the W in the end dealing 3160 damage in one attack for the finishing blow, hitting 22/26 shots form her heavy bolter burst fire
Common Argenta W
she genuinely did half of its health in damage over the fight solo
if not more
stupid ass ||Greater Daemon of The Changer of Ways||
i have a nun with a really big gun
Argenta is so cracked. Though mostly because you level her up almost all the way and Arch Militant is cracked
I don't think she has particularly noteworthy unique bonuses?
i'm not running arch militant Argenta
Which one did you go for?
Master Tactician
mostly for Press the Advantage
free damage
plus i can momentum gen with assign objective
if we're in a tight space big enemies can be melted with orchestrated fire
etc
idk arch militant is probably better on her but i went with master tactician
Arch Militant gives a ton of stats, and some pretty great abilities too
new prey acquired
time to go kill ||Lord Inquisitor of the Koronus Expanse, Xavier Calcazar||
Master tach is very cool, its just overshadowed in the meta
mhm
i mean she did 3190 damage in one attack so i think it's prolly fine
but if i was doing unfair i'd prolly be optimising a bit more
love ap
i can't even do anything with it
i also don't know what exactly is causing it
but it is funny
Abelard is genuinely tanking a 1v2 vs. ||Lokhust Heavy Destroyers||
this man might as well be a space marine
ok apparently i am powerful enough to basically kill a ||Lokhust Heavy Destroyer|| in one turn as well, excellent
me and argenta doing ridiculous damage
By the end of RT you and your retinue are forces of absolute terror, yeah
Cutting down fighting forces of some of the scariest motherfuckers in the setting
i think my rogue trader alone could kill a named helmetless space marine at this point
I was absolutely soaring on the power curve until I hit a weird snag in chapter 4 where enemies suddenly became a problem again.
Abelard just ate 4 hits from a Lokhust Heavy Destroyers gun and it didn't even get through his temp health
(Rogue Trader final chapter spoilers) well i wasn't expecting them to go mask off so quick
the avengers are assembled
not liking this ||doppelganger fight||
they're kinda just killing all my characters in one turn from half the map away
ok yeah this is absurd
I can be pretty rough
i managed to get through that fight
i meant more the uh
(The biggest fucking spoiler for the end of the game) ||UNBOUND FUCKING SHARD OF THE VOID DRAGON||
It can he lmao
*be
YEAH
YEAH YPU GOT TO THE FUCKING LINE
||ITS ONLY HERESY IF HE LOSES||
You know
Tbh
||in this specific instance hes crazy but also||
||kinda one of the only guys doing the level of shit that needs to be done||
6500 damage so far
yeah it's kinda cool but i also wanted to ||kill him no matter what||
so rip bozo shouldn't have fucked with the main character
Oh i mean hes also just insane
Like it just wasnt gonna work lmao
||he was not gonna beat the shard with the forces he had on hand||
i mean
absolutely fucking not
||i think me beating the shard is absolute horseshit so what fucking chance did he have||
Yeah RT lets you do some crazy shit
The RT and crew could probably take a primarxh
One TURN???
Thats still craY
Okay did you have any trouble with Uralon and the Edge of Daybreak?
yeah
he fucking smoked all my characters with his lackeys
it was just me and Abelard in the Uralon fight basically
OKAY IM GLAD I WASNT JUST BAD
the like 4 fucking marines in that fight are
Evil
The edge of daybreak himself ruled tho
ok Argenta did the rest of the damag herself in one attack
jfc
1.5 rounds of fighting was all it took
that's crazy
Im gonna be honest when i fought him i like
Completely skipped the “orb” mechanic
Whatever that was
there was a mechanic?
LMAO fair
Theres actually a really cool mechanic in that fight you probably didnt see
Have you fought the final boss of darkest dungeon one
naw
I like how (spoiler for a specific ending)) ||Nomos can beat the Ctan Shard not necessarily because of any power difference, but because Nomos is a whole and actualized being while the shard is innately incomplete and unfocused||
yeah
i did that ending lol
i guess i was simply the most goated rogue trader there ever was
Argenta!
actually my rogue trader did most of the damage personally
Argenta basically just did the 3500 or so damage at the end
did 491 saves
6gb worth of saves
How did u feel about ur endings
was fine
Some choices scar deeper than flesh, and no augmentation can seal these wounds. Even when the past is buried beneath iron doctrine and perfect calculation, some echoes cannot be purged. Flesh is weak, but even Omnissiah’s most sacred machines cannot erase what haunts us.
Meet Eogann Februs, the new companion from DLC3 - The Infinite Museion f...
Can confirm he's an Officer with his second archetype being open.
What the fuck thats not a cute girl
Also im sorry did they say this guy would be romanceable
Not seeing anything saying you can.
the dlc stuff isn rogue trader is like an extra to the main game right?
yeah
yeah it's extra stuff on top of the base game as opposed to its own like, campaign or smthn
Its a lot of extra stuff but yes
