Upcoming DLC and restart

[D-Jak]

So I recently started a new playthrough and saw that the first DLC is coming in 2 weeks.

Will I be able to keep playing on this playthrough?

From what I have read the DLC will be introduced in the second act. You should be fine until you take your second class.

Personally though? I expect a lot of bug fixes and intend to start a fresh game.

Hope I can actually finish it. Third time's a charm, right?

I'm waiting for the dlc and then starting a new run. Technically the dlc, as far as I understand it, starts after act 1 which makes sense with what it involves. That said, I'd prefer not to run any risk and just let any updates be done by that point before I start.

Where did you guys hear that it will start in act 2?

I'd hold off on the triumph just in case.

Excellent question. I barely started the game—at 8.6 hours I basically just took possession of the Voidship. While I'm itching to keep playing, I barely do more than one playthrough of long RPGs like this, so I figure I'll just wait for the DLC.

Here you go:



Question: I wanted to ask if the Void Shadows story takes place after the main Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader campaign, or is it supposed to occur sometime in the middle of it?


Answer: It's a part of the main story. It's integrated into the main story, so it's not like a completely separate instance that you're playing as a separate entity. No, it's an addition to the regular story, to the main part of Rogue Trader. The story will happen mostly in the second and fourth chapters of the game.

Any player who has already played the campaign will be able to just continue his own play and receive all the DLC content, while a new player will experience a more polished, more, more organic, I guess, more organic story of the Koronus Expanse itself. That's our vision of the DLCs for Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader. They won't be separate entities but an organic evolution of the initial story, with it branching out for the different aspects of the world and the setting

Thanks, buddy, much appreciated.

So I guess, I can keep playing and the new quests/stories will pop up in the playthrough. It makes sense, actually, for this to work, since I assume the story starts on your ship with a new location unlocking. So this should be able to happen anytime in Act 2.
