No diversity or real differences between runs

After all this time, every run is starting to feel identical.

  • There are no special consumables to find. No potions, no special grenades, no weapon mods, nothing to quickly turn a bad situation around if you use it right.
  • Probably as a consequence of this, AI director events are really basic. Ambushes, hordes… It’s nothing we haven’t seen a million times in VT2. Patrols aren’t really patrols in the VT2 sense, where you should pay special attention to them (unless you’re playing on Damnation, good for you I guess).
  • Bosses are difficult to melee (especially the Nurgle Beast) and are just a signal for the Veteran and Ogryn to empty their magazines in their face until they die. Compared to VT2, they lack complexity, and generally they fail to spice up a run. In a nutshell, just big sacks of hp for your veterans to chew through, and if you’re not a Veteran or 100% specialized to kill bosses, then you’re better off protecting them rather than doing anything else.
