It's as fun as your love for Warhammer 40K.

This is an incredibly good game.

A few things:

1. I know nothing about the Warhammer universe. Never played a table top game, read a book, played a video game, prior to this game.
2. I love a good large scale game with scope for different story lines, and tactical combat.

So, I bought it on the back of really positive (mostly) reviews. In the process I read websites, forums, guides and help. I noticed in the process a reasonable undercurrent of disdain (hate?) for Owlcat and the 'bugs' in their games, and in reference to Rogue Trader.

I laughed at this. Yes, I've only played this one title, but those feelings are ridiculous - at least in the context of Rogue Trader. Seems to me none of those people every played a Bathesda game if they're moaning about bugs and lack of finish...

This game, after all the hours I've played, was staggeringly un-glitchy given it's complexity, and story-line gymnastics given choices matter. It's not perfect, and if you wanted to get an ending and missed a less than obvious quest you may never want to go back far enough to change that, but move on. No different from life, right? We don't nail everything, and the story is what it is as a result.

The play is fantastic. The options of builds, synergy etc are all a lot of fun to experiment with. Companion synergy (and not), skill builds, item builds. It's. Just. Endless. And... there is not only 'one build' that works. Too many games suffer from that - lots of options but in the end only 1 play style is valid if you want to win. This game absolutely does NOT suffer from that. Which, in itself, shows how well the Dev team did.

Is it completely balanced? Possibly not. Some games are easy early game, hard late - others, vice versa. This one, if you get good synergy is definitely easier in late game. But frankly, I loved discovering that with Cassia, a specific Iconoclast skill on my RT and the right build on Marazhai i could win any late game fight before the enemy even had a turn. Including the final boss battle (before the boss froze Marazhai for all of half a round, and then I finished him off). That was simply an insane way to just waltz through late game challenges. 'Here, hold my beer, i'll be back in a moment before the enemy even blinks'.

It's fun, it's deep, it has replay, it's great value. If you like large-scale, choices-matter, highly deep tactical battle games, this is right up there with the best of them. And it was a fabulous intro the Warhammer universe for me to throw into the bargain. And the design and artwork was astonishingly impressive.

Two thumbs up. Highly recommend. Worth the price of admission!

Bought this game to play co-op with a friend. He has the standard edition, I bought the Voidfarer Edition (better deal when I purchased). However, due to me owning the voidfarer DLC I cannot play with him with a custom character, not during a new game, not able to turn off DLC my end.
Really disappointed and angry at this. I wanted to let other players know so they don't waste money like me.
