Following a D&D game in which I played a Henry the Farmer, a caricature of \u201cgood old-fashioned traditional values\u201d, I wanted to try out the new Rogue Trader DLC by playing an ultra-dogmatic \u201ccommissar\u201d (it was violent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not familiar with the Warhammer 40k universe, you should know that the life of an ordinary human being isn’t worth much. Here are four examples:<\/p>\n\n\n

I really liked the expansion, as the new content was interesting, and it adds greater depth to the ship. However, I would say that one of the new archetypes isn’t balanced at all. I almost killed a lot of bosses in one go with Kibellah as executioner. In this next screenshot, the rectangle with the text isn’t even big enough to contain all the effects and damage that came with the last attack.<\/p>\n\n\n

Finally, although I recommend expansion, the basic campaign is extremely long, and new content is scattered all over the place. So, if you’re like me and want to explore everything, expect to play for several weeks, if not months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
