I started it on PS5 yesterday and it's been smooth sailing so far. No real issues, which is shocking. Only on Act 2, though. As a total newcomer to the 40k universe, it's fun as hell.
That's good news, I have been interested in it too and have no experience with 40K at all outside of knowing that it exists basically.
Rogue Traders are essentially licensed privateers or explorers given permission by the Imperium to venture beyond its borders and into uncharted regions of space. These individuals are granted a "Warrant of Trade" by the Emperor himself or by a high-ranking official. With this warrant, they are authorized to explore, trade, and establish relations with alien races, among other tasks. The Warrant of Trade is both a symbol of authority and a license to operate outside the strict confines of Imperial bureaucracy.
I have been into 40k since I was a kid so if there are any questions feel free to ask. (Will get the Rogue Trader games some time next year)
How tf is the Emperor handing out Warrants when he's pretty much a corpse?
Well Rogue Traders existed back in the 30k days as well. SO back then they got it by the Emprah himself. These days im pretty sure they are handed out by the high lords of terra or similar extremly high ranking officials.
