Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader is being developed by OwlCat Games as a CRPG. The game is currently entering its Beta and access was opened up for playtesting for those that preordered the game (and you can still preorder and get access if you so choose). I put about 48 hours into the Alpha pretest and it's time to jump head first into the Beta. Warhammer 40k is a dark sci-fi/fantasy universe in which humanity is beset on all sides by xenos (aliens), denizens of the warp (demons), and each other. In Rogue Trader we will take the part of the titular Rogue Trader and command a trade empire with its fleets and colonies as we work to uncover a chaos conspiracy threatening our house as well as the Empire of Man. A Rogue Trader is a person who holds a Warrant from the undying Emperor (also called the Corpse God depending on who you are) that allows them to explore the galaxy and gives them a huge amount of freedom and power to do pretty much whatever they please. They generally explore, create colonies and build up their trade empire and personal power with plenty of time left over for other hobbies. The computer game is based on a table top roleplaying game which is itself based on the lore of a table top strategy game. Converting table top RPGs into computer RPGs has been OwlCats party trick to date. Their version of Pathfinder (which included two games) was received very well and while their quality control can be questioned (and should be questioned) their vision and ambition should not. Here's hoping that WH40k Rogue Trader can live up to and hopefully surpass their previous efforts.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a CRPG based on the Pathfinder pen and paper franchise. Pathfinder itself, is essentially a fork of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. The CRPG had real-time with pause combat at launch. Recently a mod came out that converted the game to turn-based. Despite the fact that players have been asking for turn-based combat since before the game launched the developers ignored their customer base right up until the mod came out and was very popular. (imagine that) It single handedly restored interest in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The developers decided they really wanted to get credit for this new interest in the game and so they finally caved and added turn-based combat into Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The patch adding this content is still in Beta and so there may be some bugs. The game launched about 2 years ago and despite being finished is still very much unpolished. The developers are still actively bug squashing but they are paying the price for a complete lack of any thing even resembling quality control before the launch. I've played many early access games with better fit and finish than Pathfinder has two years after launch. (Banners of Ruin is one such that I played and posted a video on just a couple of days before this series went up.) So expect bugs. Pathfinder does support modding. We will not be using any mods on this save as I feel that the beta branch we are playing on is risky enough for recording purposes. We will be playing the Varnhold's Lot storyline mission which was added in as DLC and can tie into the main storyline campaign if you so wish. The basic premise is that we are part of a mercenary company that took the Swordlords up on their offer and carved out one of the three Baronies they were offering to support. Our primary character is an advisor to the Baron rather than the Baron himself. As such we have less control over the path of the story but hopefully don't have to deal with any of the realm control mechanics of the game (which i hated at launch but have subsequently been updated. i haven't had the energy to try them since then however.) #turn-based, #pathfinder, #bugs ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g67dWV90KRQ
