i don't necessarily regret having played wh40k: rogue trader bcs i ended up getting a way better grasp on what wh40k is (a cesspit) and i also had fun (though it is a pretty bad game when it comes to plot and general... design of its systems; it's a very confused game), i just kinda uh. wished i didn't pay for it. i liked combat a lot, i liked creating my character as i go, just taking whatever new choices she has made and see what the broader picture of her it creates.. i was surprised to see some nuance in writing present in the romances too. also it's a game with longest ending slides ever, especially for a game with nothing much to say. tbh when i think about their fucked up endings for women who were punished for transgressing the inescapable social order i get mad.
also i guess i sort of knew it's a grimdark setting but i didn't know it takes the state propaganda it created to be the actual truth of the universe. i've been baffled when revisiting older rpgs i'd played and realizing they're libertarian etc. but this one takes the cake of being straightforwardly fascist. maddening given how it has all the telltale signs of being a caricature of the fascist system but then like i said everything it believes abt the world turns out to be true. workers are striking because it's the deamons corrupting them. mutated humans are genetically evil. the perma-war state is necessary actually. the non-human races need to be eradicated and they're also racist towards humans and would strike first anyway. the bloated corpse they worship as a god actually protects the people against the evil without so all those thousands of psykers sacrificed everyday are 100% justified and necessary.

"The dead one! Yeah I haven't thought about her in a long time!"
A little theory I've had about Winter King's original motives based on his heartless comment about Betty and Ice King's original motives for kidnapping princesses in the first place...... clearly she gave off Bad Ex Vibes…
