Figured I'd create a new thread rather than bleating about it in the WH discussion. Anyone else playing? I've honestly got to say that it's one of the best RPGs I've ever played, albeit with some big caveats.
1) It's an TTRPG property I thoroughly enjoyed
2) It nails the 40K lore and has a tone of deep cuts
3) It's absolutely and horrifically broken after Act 3.
I was in the alpha/beta testing for it, and all of that was the first three acts (of five in the final release). They're, for the most part, fine and stable. As soon as you're beyond that, it's just...bad. It's not quite unplayable in the grand scheme, but it's close. Sideplots don't trigger or remain uncompleted, people disappear and reappear, some of your party randomly get cloned and show up as uncontrollable NPCs in battles, lots of stat boosts either don't work or work too well (I currently have a Profit Factor, a rating of how well you're doing at commerce, in the tens of thousands, even though it's not supposed to really go over 200), and a lot of the late game powers are hilariously unbalanced (eg, my adepta sororitas member can take, at current count, 20 fight actions per turn, using a burst fire of an advanced bolt pistol to do roughly 700 damage in a single fight action because of various buffs. Even bosses only top out at around 1,000 health)
But when all that gets fixed, this will undoubtably be the best 40k game ever made. The lore goes super super deep in places.
