The math when talking about the Regimental Tactics skill at 15:20 is wrong. You would do the multiplication first so in your example with a bonus of +4, it would be 20 + (2×4) for a bonus of 28%
so one thing about the operative archtype, you can use that as a psyker for melee since you get the weapon skill modifiers and intelllect and then go into assassin from there
Thanks for this guide. Competent and pertinent as always :) However it would be great to know, how the character build influences the game outside of combat. Adding "c" to RPGs has made them so much about combat and even combat only, while RPGs are so much about playing a role in the game world, being someone specific with particular and distinct relationship to this world that shapes your trajectory within it. That includes dialogues, making friends (or foes), having (or not) certain encounters, finding (or not) some objects etc.
This is a super lite touch upon everything, all based on combat. Combat isn't the only aspect of the game so skipping this is essentially skipping an important factor of the game. For Fextralife to focus purely on combat... Yeah I found better help elsewhere which gave me an idea what the group needs in terms of roles, and the most important skills in, and out of combat. Trying out a voidborn noble officer. Really leaning in on the leadership there, supporting via commanding. Lore skills, and persuasion at 50. Secondary role is mid-range fire.
@@kajetan9906 slight correction and clarification. Kingmaker was made as rtwp, then a tb mod was made by the community, which OC adopted into KM, then when they made wrath, kept it. So PF games are still rtwp first with tb tacked on.
@@SirCanuckelhead WotR is NOT tacked on. Most people played Kingmaker with the mod and then OCs turn based and most of the people prefer to play WotR turn based, except for lowest trash mobs.
Can anyone tell me how this game is? Cant believe I'm just finding out about it it's made by the same people as pathfinder right?? Which I love well I never played kingmaker but heard it's different also definitely thinking about buying it
Can I make an all Guardsmen party? Or at least create Companions like in Pathfinder? Reason I ask is because I want to recreate my friend’s and I’s all guardsmen party from Only War an imperial guard TTRPG.
As far as i know there is later an option to hire mercenaries that are customizable. But I don't know if this is only for co-op or a general mechanic you also can use in Singleplayer.
@@sagittariusa9012 If it's anything like other games from this studio, custom companions will be available in the single player game. But they won't have any personality of storyline and will just be cardboard stand ins.
@@SirCanuckelhead Oh ok. I just heard that and did not test it myself. When exactly ends the Prolog? And where to hire them? nvm, got my answer from google by accident^^
Lore wise, a tech priest wouldn't become a rogue trader. A priest might join the crew of one, like what happens in the game, but they themselves would not become a rogue trader due to their allegiance to the Omnissiah
Neither would a Ministorum Priest tbh. And look at characters like Cawl, he definitely has the independence of mind(s) and intuitive to pursue such unorthodox approaches to gathering information and technology - and he is the Fabricator General. Who knows how many like minded Tech-priest’s are out there. And besides, you are not necessarily playing as a Tech Priest who hasn’t been Excommunicated.
Getting Rogue Trader setup so its ready to go when in get disappointed by the Identity Politics and poor coding of Act 3 in BG3. Maybe Larian should have focused more on the coding instead of the Identity writing in Act 3. Act 3 is an excellent example of the inverse relationship Cultural Marxism and quality of product. The bugs be rough. I hope Larian doesnt go woke in DOS3. Then again, in hope they do. We can get it out of the way and they can see how it negatively affects the consumer relationship.
@@xxemojonsnowxx female models made to look more masculine, transvestite circus manager, transformer warlock, flaming fist is almost entirely female, and male members are made go look weak or stupid.

Nocturne is also painted as some sort of super nice, heroic, bff. Nocturne use to be a killable character, but Larian nerfed being able to kill him. You can kill him, but in recent patches its said you become so overwhelmed with enemies afterward its nearly impossible. As a male character you are given an opportunity to join a drow society if you "identify" as female. I'm disappointed I paid 50$ for this nonsense. Act 3 feels like a bait and switch.

What a year for CRPGS!
what a year in rpgs in genera
great year for gaming as a whole
Not baldur’s gate. Instant L.
@@jolt187 yeah also it has loading screens, same reason we hate starfield. BG3 ftw!!!! /s
@@jolt187 The butthurt is strong.

yeah thats what i thought.
I was about to comment on this!
In the grimdark universe of 40k there is no PEMDAS
so one thing about the operative archtype, you can use that as a psyker for melee since you get the weapon skill modifiers and intelllect and then go into assassin from there
could you describe your idea for a melee psyker build?
@@Abracadaniels Psyker and than chose Biomancer seems to be a pretty good Melee Build

Good, informative video, as always. Not sure which I'm looking forward to the most: Rogue Trader builds or late game BG3 builds.

@@kylecarey4189 which is the stat for leadership. Don't know why you bother correcting me when I know what I'm talking about.
@@Kindlesmith70there is nothing in the game about leadership
@@kylecarey4189 A troll. I see.
Owlcat is on a other level. BG 3 is good if u are new but u most experience this one.
I wonder if it's possible to make a Ciaphas Cain build
My take away from rogue traders character creation is that it’s more complicated than bg3’s but less detailed somehow
This is just what I needed! Thanks
Thanks for the video
Whoooo! Let's goooo!!!
Character builds going to be done for this?
Thanks Cas
I would argue origin is more like a "class" and archetypes are more like subclasses
is this game realtime with pause like the pathfinder games or turn based like BG3?
Turn based
Slight correction. Pathfinder games had both turn based and realtime with pause modes

Sorry but 20+2x4 are 28 because you first use the x and than the +. But Even than it is over 25% more and that is awesome burst.
x goes first in maths right?
@@jonathanmora8208 not every time but in these time yes
Where is the Tech Priest ?!?
you haven't the option for that. sadly...
Wait, can I be a Psyker+Warrior?
Yes you can, the Biomancer Psyker is all about melee combat (and healing) and I believe the Pyro Psyker also gains some melee synergy
looks like this changed with release, forge world not saying anything about augmentations now.
So I can't make a tech priest? Boooo
At 9:07, I think you say "for all intensive purposes", the saying is actually "for all intents and purposes"
🤓
Big day tomorrow ..”the day before”

@@seraphinaaizen6278 Yes, there is later the option to hire merceneries.
by "later" you can hire mercs right after the prologue so you get them in pretty fast.
@@SirCanuckelhead Oh ok. I just heard that and did not test it myself. When exactly ends the Prolog? And where to hire them?
nvm, got my answer from google by accident^^
Best for solo ?
You can't be a techpriest ?! :(
You get a Techpriest companion.

What's the price going to be
tree fiddy
Their website currently has it at $40.
@@WhirlwindHeatAndFlash😂😂😂
Imagine if we could be xenos 😭 It would make the game feel so much larger. After Baldurs Gate the bar for good CRPGs has been risin
Wouldn't fit the setting though.
There's absolutely no way a Xenos would be given a Warrant of Trade.
