Is the PC local co-op as well?

Yes but only with two controllers
.You'd think KB/M + Controller would be workable.

The UI is different so how would that work?Yes but only with two controllers

Yeah the two interfaces prevent that from happening. But local co-op on PC is a miracle as it is, so can't complain.
Not sure if DOS : EE will be popamole enough to rope in friends or family, but I might give it a shot.

I don't see why the controller UI couldn't be made clickable. They usually suck but your average AAA console port manages to do it.
It's probably not practical to spend resources to do so. Most PC co-op players will probably still play via LAN.

Destiny for examples uses a cursor for its interface, bungie for all its retarded storytelling shit does know that in a loot and inventory focused game being able to click directly on the Ui instead of cycling through options is much faster and efficient... Even in consoles.

Fucking COSMIC SPACEHEAD for the Sega Genesis had a cursor for its interface. This just proves that this industry has no medium to long-term memory (or any memory whatsoever) about anything and is willing to make the same mistakes ad nauseam. It wouldn't be such a stretch that some people would like to play split screen with a KB + M and a controller (I'm one of those people).

3rd gen is, what, Snes? I doubt it 'stopped happening' then.

He's counting PlayStation 1 as first gen. Because before that only nerds played consoles. PlayStation made it acceptable for jock-bros to play too.

Maybe he meant 8bit 16bit 32bit.

"Certain levels of visibility", eh? Some kind of front page store banner? If so, I guess Wasteland 2 won't have that.

I'm level 5 now and this is my first play-through. The combat is okay, though there is a lot of reloading. The story is okay I guess. Not much C&C as far as I can tell. A little on the boring side, honestly.
The main parts I don't like are the environmental graphics and exploration. The game's graphics are hard to look at for some reason. I get eyestrain or brainstrain. Maybe it's the bright colors and thick lines, like a cartoon. I have a hard time telling what I am looking at a lot of the time.
I don't like the exploration because you're "painting the map" like 90% of other RPGs with rectangular maps out there and I'm getting sick and tired of it. Fallout hid its rectangularity by blocking camera movement when you got too near the edge of town. Arcanum and PtD had seamless world maps (though it made little difference in Arcanum). JA2 had rectangular maps. But each map was a set piece that needed to be approached carefully and tactically. Most maps had a lot of empty space around the edges for you to maneuver in too.
I really dislike the UI. When rotating the camera, the cursor also moves at the same time. So you end up bumping the edge of the screen and panning instead of rotating. When casting a spell or ability I sometimes forget and try to click a button on the screen. (For instance a button for a different spell or ability.) The game doesn't register this as a button click however. Instead, the spell/ability is cast below the button, usually not somewhere intended and thereby wasting the spell. Next, sometimes the enemy character animations make it hard to click on enemies. They move and gyrate, and sometimes you "miss" the target and end up clicking the ground instead of the character, thereby wasting your turn.
Lastly, the high camera angle is frustrating for me. I keep wanting to look around at the scenery but the game won't let me. Again, I often have a hard time telling what I'm looking at because everything just sort of blends into itself.
If this game doesn't improve drastically in the coming chapters, I can't give it more than a
. Except for the horribad combat, I would rate PoE higher than this.

sadly it's all downhill from where you are
Why would you play it now for the first time, a month ahead of EE release?

You do, but keep in mind that you can't transfer saves between versions.

We really don't. It's not like they can and have said something like "now with 30% less shit!". The new writers have rewritten it as far as I know, but considering how awful it was in vanilla I don't know if they can fuck it up even more. I'm hoping it to be in the post code of "not slitting my wrists".
