Awesome game, but I wouldn't even give ZA/UM the satisfaction of counting my download. If you don't own this game already, you should pirate it, as that's what the actual developers have requested.

Fuck Epic
Fuck ZA/UM
More like, "RIP ZA/UM, fuck the company wearing their face".
It's currently £3.49 on Steam or £8.79 on GOG. Don't inflict Epic games upon yourself.
Shouldn't be spending money on this game anyways. The original creatives behind the game got screwed by some suit that currently runs ZA/UM. The creators have actively encouraged people to pirate the game as to deny the thieves running the company any ill-gotten profits.
I can get behind that. Don't give money to ZA/UM, get it for free, and don't use Epic games. Win win win.
People should pirate this game as per the creators' request
HARDCORE!
Is it, though?
Time to finally try this. Also bought Pathfinder since it's been talked about a lot
Hell yeah, which one?
Bought both pathfinder games. Cheap enough. Going to play through both
Hell yeah, enjoy. If they don't click for you, don't let it turn you off from later Owlcat games. Rogue Trader really saw them nail the tone and writing that could sometimes be weak in moments in those previous games. They've come a long way as a studio. I liked them both a lot
I'm pretty sure I saw that they are real time with pause. I like those more than turn based crpgs because once you get used to the gameplay systems, turn based becomes a chore to me compared to rtwp. Especially on a replay. Happy to buy a rtwp game when they seem out of fashion for crpgs these days in favor of turn based
Indeed. They implemented turn base by popular demand later on by real time has always stayed available at the press of a button. I like having it for later playthroughs too. Rogue Trader never got it, though. Also there's a bunch of really for mods for adding in tabletop content but they don't work if you are playing on console or Kingmaker with a controller
Shit's free in the toilet. I'm not picking that up either.
I'll just buy it on a real store.
Please don't buy it and let the thieves at ZA/UM profit off the game they stole from the original creators. Pirate it instead as the creators have encouraged.
I was just going to post this, as more people need to learn about this excellent game. Best giveaway on Epic ever.
