deeply unserious game
#also finished my second playthrough of RT recently#I don't think I've ever seen an rpg where difficulty takes such a nosedive before even reaching it's second half#you don't even have to build particularly fancy for most encounters past like mid-act 2 to just become completely trivial#and you can see the dev team struggling against this with more and more elaborate enemy encounters in DLCs#with Trazyn DLC especially it feels like they have identified that it is specifically extra turn mechanics that break stuff#what's with almost half of all new enemies and bosses trying to counter them in one way or another#aaaand in the same DLC they added a companion that boosts the efficiency of your extra turns even further#seriously I think it's Eogunn's addition specifically that took things from#'yeah the game could really use a difficulty bump in second half'#to a 'yeah the game's combat straight up doesn't function in its second half anymore'#like now it's entirely possible to finish most encounters before officially ending your first character's turn#and I guess it's kinda inevitable in the game that has this insanely granular of a character progression system#that makes synergy cascades almost unavoidable#but still I would love to see them try and do something about it if not for the fourth DLC then at least for Dark Heresy#warhammer 40000#rogue trader#infinite museion
