Is there any 3rd person Action game or RPG game set in the Warhammer universe?
As it stands off right now, I do not enjoy this turn based combat thing. The delay between turns and actions make it appear as if the battles are lasting for quite some time, but in reality, had it been an action-paced game this would have been nothing but an encounter with a small pack of the enemies that would last couple of seconds.

Is there any Action or RPG game with 3rd person camera with graphics and models this good? Am I missing something? So far I guess there are none. And, no, I do not want Warhammer 40,000 recommendations like Space Marine, which I already own. I refer strictly to the Warhammer universe. And no, I am not interested in modded games like Mount And Blade or something.

Nothing I can really think of.

The closest two that come to mind is the 40k recomendation you already own and don't want us to mention, and a first person co op horde destroyer Vermintide.

If your into an action and stealth elements, with a gritty dark feel, but not warhammer, then the Styx series may be worth a play. Its something I can at least say is 3rd person, not turn based, and may be check enough of the boxes to be enjoyable for you.

Also, while I have yet to try it, I noticed that Chaosbane is currently on sale.

More of a top down, 3rd person hack and slash rpg, like diablo or dungeon siege, it covers a couple of the check marks and is only twelve bucks right now.

Vermintide maybe? If you want some real time strategy there is Mark of Chaos or Dark Omen.

If you can't tell that Vermindtide is not a 3rd person game, in that case I can't help you.

So, there is not a single game out there that is similar to this, that is not turn-based. This is the franchise that has rich lore, big reputation and hype, but for why? So many games wear Warhammer brand, yet most of them are clunky, buggy, unfinished and not all game genres have been covered like 3rd person RPGs or 3rd person Action games throughout all these decades. What a waste.

Warhammer Chaosbane is my favourite ARPG game, but, it is not an Action game, nor an RPG game.

All warhammer games are based on table top. The adaption to video from this platform will compromise something from the table top and (at the same time) not be ideal for a straight video game.

Perhaps someone like you will publish a table top converted into video game as the perfect gem. For a while at least until the complaint is "old and clunky".

Warhammer - Chaosbane, Warhammer - Mark Of Chaos and Warhammer - Vermintide II seem to be the only good games Warhammer universe has to offer. And I am yet to try out Mark Of Chaos and Vermintide II. That is one hell of an overrated franchise.

...Is there a point to this grade-school level exchange of pleasantries?

Did you check out Warhammer: Return of Reckoning? A free-to-play MMORPG that is true to the original Warhammer Fantasy universe,

No idea. I made a few friendly suggestions in the wrong place (my bad) to the wrong guy and he got pissed off. And then he mocked my truthful explanation.

Anyways, he can go have fun in his world of "not many great games," and I'll leave y'all be.

The one I'm playing right now is Warhammer online ''return of'' Reckoning

How I understand it, it's an attempt by a group of warhammer fans to bring warhammer online back. They're improving what was abandoned years ago by the original company.

Feels ALOT like WoW vanilla from back in the day when vanilla/BC first launched. Some of the classes even feel a little similar to WoW classes
I found one that is like my warrior in BC :steamhappy:

You should check it out.

Both Warband and Bannerlord have phenomenal Warhammer conversion mods, I recommend you give them a try. The Warband (Warsward Conquest) one's been in development much longer so there's more content, items, races, factions etc.

Except for the Warband mod crashed every time I hired a goblin companion in the tavern. And I tried to reload the save, and no matter how many times did I try it was all the same.

If you are having any problems with the mod you should ask some questions on their discord. It has a few extra steps to install and work properly than most WB mods.

I don't think there is a game quite like this , this side of 1980 anyway. It holds the floor as one of a kind.
