New Owlcat game just got announced yesterday. You play as part of the Inquisition. Big bad seem to be Nightlords.

I heard the companions are fully voiced this time . Games gonna be turnbased again / some moral system but it will certainly take queues from Rogue Trader and build upon that.

Out of the companions we know so far we got an ogryn, a eldar, a kroot huntress, a catachan veteran and a medicae

    Im off 2 different minds on this. On the one hand I played Owlcats Pathfinder Kingmaker directly after release and got hardlocked out of the endgame. On the other hand I played Wrath of the Rightous around release and had a pretty good time.

    With Rogue Trader I decided to wait since I wanted to play an Owlcat game in a great state for once. Will probably play it later this summer though after the 2nd dlc got some patches. . Im not gonna wait till 2027 when the enhanced version relases with all 4 dlcs.

    Like seriously the game is potentially gonna be north of 150h with all 4 dlcs. I dont have tiem for that even if it sounds cool and like the definitve way to play it.

      I got nearly 200 hours out of a single play through of the base game a few months ago, it’s going to be a lot bigger than that with the DLCs.

      Personally I’ve waited a couple of years on all of them - the releases are mixed, but they do a really good job of improving the game post launch in response to player feedback and mods. Kingmaker probably had the biggest change, with the entire turn based combat system being added in later after they bought a mod, but even Rogue Trader’s had a fair amount of rebalancing in updates.

      I wish people would make more 40 hour RPGs with divergent paths that encourage replay if you’re hungry for more. Tyranny seemed to be a perfect example of this, but I don’t think it sold well.

        I actually agree with you. I love the idea of 30-40h RPGs but thats not the way the industry is going which is why I havent really touched JRPGs in ages. I dont wanna commit 100h to one of them.
