Oh wow. I like what they did with the main menu when you start a new game.

could someone post an image of the new barter interface?

It was in the last Kickstarter update: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...artering-and-the-wide-open-hubs-of-l-a.90948/

Are the AP costs for reloading, crouching and other stuff visible in the hud this time around?

Yeah.

 

[undecaf]

Good.

Finally.

 

[Infinitron]

Good.

Finally.

Wait, did you mean visible at all times? They're tooltips.

 

[undecaf]

Good.

Visible at all. They haven't worked at all with the game for me (not as tooltips nor any other way) so I have assumed they've not been in.

Hello.
It's probably too late for this, but, the thing that stopped me from playing the demo, above all other legitimate complaints, was the rotating camera. Why can't the perspective just be thought out more and fixed? I can't see any advantage to the current camera system.

D:OS did just that and got complains that you can't rotate the camera...

There should be no compromise. No camera rotation at all!

d:os tends to hide chests and other things in obscured corners, so it's a legitimate complaint there.

I'm actually in danger of installing and trying the game out tonight.

Constantly referring to a superior game you had a hand in in the past doesn't strike me as the best way of marketing your new game.

Haha, are you kidding me? It's how all these Kickstarters got funded in the first place!

I personally love that in games with fixed perspective.

UPDATED FOR EXTRA TRUTHINESS:

Could still be nitpicked for clarity, because Time Cain had production duties.

From the ceo of the company that made Fallout and helped getting it made in that role?

 

[Xeon]

Breath of Fire III & IV (JRPG) I think did that with the semi rotating camera or something, Was pretty alright, Kinda like the Hunting Rifle hidden in Vault 51 I think (F1) and was kinda great finding it. Instead of a see through wall so you notice the background, you rotate the camera a little.

Edit:
BoF IV rotates 180 degrees I think.

I personally love that in games with fixed perspective.

i rather dislike it when something my character can see perfectly is hidden from me because of viewpoint. i like it more when dos hides things behind other things irrelevant of perspective, like switches behind paintings (or hams), hatches below carpets and so on.

UPDATED FOR EXTRA TRUTHINESS:

From the guy that Tim Cain literally had to beg not to cancel Fallout and after it prooved a smashing hit, alienated its founding fathers by allowing the suits to take over their brainchild, Wasteland 2! (59.99 tax included)

 

[Volrath]

DAT UPDATE

You can't polish a turd.

 

[Infinitron]

From the guy who listened to the requests of his design talent and overruled the middle managers that wanted to cancel Fallout

Come on now, two can play that game.

Hey, I wonder what Feargus' role was in that little drama. Duraframe300 Do you know?

 

[Kuhrazy]

You can't polish a turd.

You can mold a turd into pretty much any shape if you get to it before it dries out.

Perhaps its shape, but not its substance.

UPDATED FOR EXTRA TRUTHINESS:

From the guy that played Fallout for a weekend and said, "when I go up a level, skillpoints aren't enough for me to do..." thus initiating the discovery of the perk system, Wasteland 2!
Disclaimer: Wasteland 2 will not feature a perk system or something remotely related.
