I've been holding off from playing early as I'm confident I'll play at release. Looking forward to hearing how well it plays though.
Having good fun on this until PC went kuput and don't want to run it on a older PC.
Combat is similar to wasteland 3 I played recently which is a game I also like. feels slightly simplified vs WOTR but not in a bad way. It runs pretty smooth at 4k with a 3090 with most settings cranked up. Lots of nice events spread out inbetween and travelling between planets at your own place is nice.
PC going boom is a good excuse to pause here and wait for full build now I think too.

Was great to see that although I'm a bit worried what state it's in vs BG3. As that comparison will be direct and painful I feel. Game still looks great and any good 40k games are only a positive.
It wont be close to as polished as BG3, whilst Larian arent a AAA company, Owlcat are even more of an indie company. They wont have near the resources available to Larian. As long as its on par with Pathfinder 1 and 2, I'll be happy.
I'm not expecting it til Q1 2024 myself, I think releasing it before then, with or without co-op would be suicidal

I can't find it anywhere but I'm sure I've seen them say it was going to be a 24 release.
Makes sense to do a 2024 release to be honest, would be bonkers planning to release a CRPG so soon after Baldurs Gate 3 and Starfield. Give it a bit of breathing space, let the hype and excitement of those playing BG3 and Starfield die down and reach its natural conclusion as they finish up those games and release at a time where you can then be the "next" title that those who liked BG3/Starfield move onto in the RPG genre. If it was me, I'd go for a March release, nice 6 month gap between BG3/Starfield and Rogue Trader.

Oh wow, just in time I expect once I finished starfield and another BG3 run-through. Had a good 10 or so hours with early access and will be good fun I expect. Right up most people who liked BG3, WOTR etc/

The title makes me think of that TV show. Have an image of Space Marines chasing down dodgy builders with a camera crew to ask about their poor work.
I'd still play that game.

It is good, I just hope it doesn't impact the sales however and make devs/publishers not think its worth it (ignoring the fact the market is saturated by 3 big titles).
It wouldn't be the first time it happened. The 40k universe really lends itself to being experienced though.
@Tombstone on the offchance you haven't seen this.

Nice, some promising options there for players who might not be able to continuously commit to repeated sessions@Tombstone on the offchance you haven't seen this.

Yeah it's good you can continue solo as well. Really hope game launches on time as my last working day of 2023 happens to be Dec 7th.
