Oh, I didn't encounter many bugs so far. All the ones I had seen in the beta were fixed now. In one fight the UI messed up and I stopped getting the hit info when hovering the mouse over my target. Also, there are locations on the maps where an enemy can stand and ranged attacks won't hit/damage them, even though you have a line of sight. Something is messed up with the geometry of specific maps.

In the prologue and chapter 1 you mostly fight the same human cultists. They are not interesting, but luckily you kill them fairly fast. If you use too many psychic powers, the veil between the real world and the warp gets thinner and stuff may happen, which may result in a daemon appearing (a bloodletter showed up for me ... and I killed it before it even got to act, as it materialized in charge distance and while I had full momentum. My melee guy just went to town on it). It seems their main attempt so far has been to make combat "interesting" by having you "do stuff". Operatives (one of the character classes) analyze opponents, putting stacks of exploits on them, then you can trigger those fir extra damage or to debuff those enemies. Officers buff their allies and give them extra turns. Soldiers try to get extra attacks. It all requires a bit of an effort. Owlcat do not always seem to understand tedium. Those snipers up on a tower that are boring to run towards. The mini-boss that teleports on taking 25% of max health damage so you have to run after three times. Not all encounters are 100% compatible with turn based fun But so far the game isn't bad and I am only in the first system, so I guess it is pretty much only the introduction.

Not a single one and it worries me something fierce. But I haven't encountered the space woof yet.

The begining of the misadventures of Rouge Raider the Rogue Trader on her warp voyage aboard the Millenium Phyrr Cat.

They changed the prologue slightly. Nothing significant, just a fight here and an in-game cut scene there. You can now hire custom NPC's for your party, which means you can have a full party right from the beginning of chapter 1, before you slowly collect all npcs

More Starship Troopers. More fighting on Kwalasha. Obviously the bugs cannot match the might and courage of the brave men of the mobile infantry. Do You Want To Know More? -
I got my key for the game. There was a choice between Steam and Epic, so I grabbed the Steam one (because Epic basically never does sales for DLC, while Steam you can get DLC cheap from other stores). Now I see that tomorrow I could have gotten a GOG key

Ah, the dev too has worked in tourism and is working through his trauma with this game. The whole game makes so much more sense now. -

The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
melkathi replied to Raithe's topic in Way Off-Topic
The Expanse series is better by the simple virtue of those writers not being lazy like the original authors of the books. The belter patois for the series was properly researched. In the books it was machine translated using very bad, outdated translation machines. For any German speakers who haven't read the first book and wish to groan: "Schrauben sie sie weibchen." Shirtless said in Belter inflected gutter German, leaning forward. -

Doubt it, since the humanitarian pauses haven't stopped Israel from shooting people. They paused the bombings, they haven't paused ground operations. They even shot at UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon. -
They are there in picture 2. The lighting is the issue

We here a lot that the Hamas attack on the 7th of October started this, and saying otherwise is called antisemitism. Food for thought: The 7th of October is not a random date. 7. October 1985 was the hijacking of the Achille Lauro. Ignore me if this has been brought up.
