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" michael-laugh

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
