I put a lot of time into Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader these last two weeks and finished the game. I had a great time with it, mostly because of the combat, I just really liked it.

Story is kinda meh, because in my run it felt a bit unfocused and bloated. It’s like the devs just wanted to cram as much 40k stuff into it as possible, so story threads just kinda fizzle out or something completely new gets suddenly thrust into the focus. It’s possible that this is because of my choices, how I did quests or if I did or didn’t kill certain NPCs.

This game also made me realize I don’t really like 40k. The whole setting and universe is just too ridiculous, dumb and over the top for me. I’ll still play the occasional 40k game, like Boltgun 2 or Dark Heresy, but it’s not a selling point for me.

I’m definitely gonna do a second playthrough, probably once the second season DLC is released. I actually started another run yesterday, because I just had so much fun with the game, and played through the prologue, making heretical choices, but I’ll try to finally give Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous a proper shot.
