About Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
Players will take on the role of a Rogue Trader, a scion of an ancient dynasty of daring privateers who reign over their own merchant empire and explore the fringes of Imperial space with the blessing of the Emperor Himself. Thanks to their Warrant of Trade - the Rogue Trader is endowed with privileges and power beyond imagination as well as the task of expanding the borders of the Imperium. At their disposal is a gargantuan voidship of immense strength and innumerable personnel ready to follow any undertakings of the leader. Show your subjects mercy or disdain, stay faithful to the Emperor or consort with enemies of Mankind - every decision and every act of the Rogue Trader sends ripples throughout entire star systems, changing the in-game world and those who inhabit it.
The action will unfold in the Koronus Expanse, a dangerous and unexplored region on the far frontiers of the Imperium of Man. Many explorers have fallen victim to this dangerous place and never returned.
Remarkable and sophisticated companions are one of the pillars of cRPGs and Rogue Trader is no exception. A mighty Space Marine, a mercurial Aeldari Ranger, or even a courageous Sister of Battle armed with bolter and ardent prayers are just a few of the many characters that will join the Rogue Trader during your adventures.

The Emperor protects.
What an awful mess that is; and what strikes most is that they've repeated (and made fár worse) mistakes already made in Kingmaker.
Different franchise so I'll hope they reset their brains and don't overcomplicate things to the point the game isn't a game anymore. Luckily the ignore button is free. *click*
So this will most likely go down in history as just another (at best) mediocre WH40k-game. Something this brand seems to be cursed to be by the Dark Gods.
There are great 40K games. That'll be one most likely :)

The game itself, though? Should be good, maybe even more than good. Right now? A LOT, most of them crap, since GW was doing really stupid things with their licences. However - the last few years have been changing that, with very obvious path upwards.
Space Marine 2 is coming, Darktide obviously, Total War series for Fantasy, Mechanicus, etc.
I'm still puzzled why Relic built what they built there in DoW3.
Also, I need a Total War 40K in my life. CA, you know the Emperor wills it.
Just add "all" races in one game through expansion packs and go.
also I would love for a Tower Defense game in the 40k universe, Dungeon Defender / Sanctum Style.
