Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader News

• All familiars have received a significant boost to starting stats, more than 2x increase for some;
  
• Fixed dodge penetration on familiar natural weapons. They will now hit way more consistently;
  
• Returned the missing protocol for the Cyber-Mastiff to a loot container on Footfall;
  
• Fixed an issue that caused dialogue with the Adeptus Arbites at Leethus to break under certain circumstances;

When players hear the words 'Owlcat RPG,' many immediately think of one word: romance. In fact, developers have told me in the past that no game they produced would be a true Owlcat RPG if romance wasn't involved. Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader is no different. Despite the inability to romance our mechadendrite-endowed friend Pasqal, players have thrown themselves at nearly every other companion possible. However, there was a pretty major bug with Yrliet's romance, and thankfully it's now been squashed. Beware, as major spoilers for romancing the Aeldari ranger follow.
