I'd bet my entire life savings (about $3) that a bunch of hogs made a concentrated effort to get the Blood Libel Game(TM) nominated. There's no chance it wins against BG or LC but its still bizarre to see
also Starfield got a nom for "Most Innovative Gameplay"

What is?
Rogue Trader and maybe Wandering Sword are imo better (though it's very close). Overall it's the best year for RPG ever so it's hard.
that game looks cool
I hadn't heard about this but now I'm very intrigued.
I wasn't expecting this game to be mentioned here. I've been playing that constantly a few months back until I finished my second playthrough (and got back to playing New Vegas constantly).
Yeah, when i first saw it it looked like RPGmaker game no 928374982375, but fortunately they rolled up a demo and i would never pass on a RPG wuxia game (except those from RPG maker) and it was actually excellent. A little bit stingy in pixels but that game really have soul.
Rogue trader is not even the best owlcat game
Buggy as hell and the story falls apart in act 3
Hard disagree. Kingmaker was ok game but 50% of it was running around to check the lazy rumours and quest and 40% was the really nasty loading screen fest. Wrath of Righteous got boring really quick in the main course of game.
Rogue Trader have some of the same problems but less pronounced, especially at the release time. What's more important, it's easily the best 40k game out there.
idk RT has all the problems that Wrath has but i dont think it has nearly as much of cool shit like the mythic paths which alter your game in so many ways
the loss of the ability to change to real time combat makes combat a massive drag in the late game too
wierd holes in the polish of the game are also present like the sporadic voice acting and important story characters not having stuff like portraits, the whole game just feels rushed
the thing that RT has over wrath is the setting tho, much more interesting than the generic fantasy that pathfinder feels like
have you gotten to act 4?
Yes, i found none of the problems described so it's either been fixed or was exaggerated or i'm lucky i guess. There are really only three problems with the game i noticed: horrible journal with bugged rumours not disappearing and unhelpful lack of hints everywhere, a lot of quests which fails when you do it in wrong moment (Baldur also have those and both games lack clear hints to this), and bad character class balance, soldier and archmilitant might not be better than other classes (or maybe they are) but using the others is such hassle that it gets old really fast - at least in this aspect Baldur is vastly superior having the option to completely respec the companions.
yea balance is a complete mess rn lol
argenta can solo the game with a couple of officers to hand her extra turns
but im not sure how much is inherited from the TTRPG
I practically assumed you were going to say Sea of Stars, which i personally feel underwhelmed by so im glad it was something else lol. Thoughts on that game?
I guess i would need to check this, but it don't really look appealing on a first glance, many old jrpg elements that were always offputting me like combos, multiple protagonists and running around for no reason.
Ah, see, i like those things, i love Chrono Trigger and its supposedly inspired by it. In just found the charachters/story/world kind of unengaging. Even the art while beauiful at first glance felt uninspired to me after a bit.
Like the game supposedly was made for someone with my tastes but something about it bounced off me completly.
I'm trying it now. Just starting but it's pretty ok, a lot of running, pseudo-platformer terrain (it's not the real platformer though, it would instantly go into trash if it was). Graphics and music are pretty good. Combat system is full of really obnoxious minigames including twitchy trigger combos at every single move, sometimes even multiple per move which would be case for unistall too, but fortunately it have pretty ok storytelling relic you can activate for HP boost and healing after each combat.
Overall decent but nowhere near even the early engagement of Rogue Trader, Wandering Sword and Baldur.
Also, i just guessed after 10 minutes that it is actually a French game. It might be inspired by Japanese classics, but it just absolutely feel like the 90's-00's French comic books from even just character design and setup.
Oh hey thanks for remembering me! And for the input
I avoided it because of the team that made it. Not the Jordan Peterson thing (seems it was just a phase and the writer isn't a reactionary), but because I thought the writing in The Messenger was bad (even if funny at times), and that the same writer wasn't qualified to writefor an RPG.
Seems like I dodged a bullet.
