This was the other cRPG kitchen sink thread, so I suppose I'll bump this with that announcement by the Owlcat devs yesterday.
Apparently this is a fully turn-based game, and the Rogue Trader premise is seemingly VERY different from what the other Warhammer 40k games use. Meaning it probably won't be brimming with as much edgy grimdarkness as the rest of the lore seems to require.
RTwP is quite possibly dead for the foreseeable future, although I also imagine that a new Pathfinder game is probably also being developed on the side. The trailer seems to indicate a good chunk of development has already been done, while IIRC WotR didn't get a trailer until the kickstarter began about 2-3 months after the announcement, and said trailer was mostly devs talking about the project. We heard of Owlcat recruiting for a project like this as far back as 2 years ago, and I vaguely remember a pre-release WotR AMA where the community liaison at the Pathfinder subreddit said that their next project was likely to be a purely turn-based game.
There's also that curious recent job posting looking for someone with experience in third person shooters.
Pretty fucking pumped for this, even if I'm not particularly into WH40K. Especially given Owlcat track record. Also, first Owlcat game where turn-based will be the MAIN focus, which makes it even more appealing.
Expectations couldn't be lower for the next Dragon Age or whatever else BIoware is going to come up with, on the other hand. I really don't think highly of Inquisition at all, and even that already feels like a "better Bioware than what we've had in the past years" (quick reminder that Inquisition released EIGHT years ago).
But hey, any surprise proving me wrong would be welcomed.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
