Developer Owlcat Games rolled out the second major patch for turn-based cRPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. It addresses a handful of quest and cutscene issues, mainly around Acts III & IV of the game. Those stuck on Quetza Temer – your time has come. The update is now live on PC, with the Mac and console versions coming within 24 hours.
The developers also noted that the Shrine of Remembrance and credit name update had to be postponed. Follow the link above to see the full list of changes, including the narrative ones. Beware of spoilers!
“Our priority will be ironing out the remaining quest bugs, and after that, we’ll focus on incorrectly functioning talents and abilities.”
