By the way, I think I said this before, but if there's no "Remember Fallout?" printed on the box I'm sending it back.

I made it to Damonta, and I think I've finally found the fun. Robots have interesting differences between them that so far critters and humans have failed to provide.

Good to hear, I haven't played since early beta (*cough* alpha *cough*), and I really hope the game's writing, progression, difficulty and ways to approach combat encounters have been improved.

Pop culture and in-jokes make some people very upset. A goon said this fairly recently

I knew the Codex was worthless when they blew a gasket at the suggestion that groin shots were included for fun and were not in fact very very serious and highly tactical combat options

Haha that sounds like something a classic Codexer would say all right.

There are groin shots?

Maybe he was talking about this, which was a joke...I think: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...ess-now-available.88397/page-268#post-3447401

EDIT: Oh, he's talking about Fallout. http://forums.somethingawful.com/sh...rid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=222#post433919336

What's with the out-of-context Codex reference? Nobody was even talking about us.

I wouldn't go so far as "very upset", but pop culture references generally inspire eyerolls in me and serve to push me away from the game rather than draw me in. I'd rather see actual writing. That said, I certainly expect some goofiness in Wasteland 2 and am prepared to deal with it.

Fallout 2 haters
Is this a thing?
Serious question?
Fallout 2 was hated the moment it came out. Fallout 3, being what it is, subdued that opinion, but for *hardcore* Fallout fans the decline began with F2.
Theres still plenty of people around that think of F1 as the only good Fallout.
Oh thanks, i was unaware, i was happily enjoying both games when they came out. I did love fallout 1 more than 2, but meh, they were both entertaining and they were both increible games.

I think F2 was not as good as F1, because they wanted to make it a bigger game. Hmm why does this sound so familiar.

1. Nope, but I don't really have a problem with the writing.
2. Nope.
3. Nope.
4. Some. Mostly in that now you have more tactical flavor options to easily roflstomp everything.

There have been improvements of course but just not really in those areas.

EDIT: That last one:

Thanks for the info. I was able to reproduce it, I believe...

If you deactivate the turrets and wander in and shoot things up, there's a second wave of RSM that come running up from the farm. Depending on how many were left, they could be spread out across the whole distance. It's a little awkward if you skipped the farm and rush out the Prison at the end (spend time collecting loot and such and it should feel better), but you can fight your way down if so. The turrets will be highlighted as enemies during this combat, however, they aren't pulled into combat... unless... unless you shoot them. Upon shooting them I got my arse handed to me, as one should if waking the dragons.

I now have them ignore combat when deactivated, so you should be good now. Well, when it's released.

Pro Tip: the turrets will ignore combat when deactivated, meaning you can shoot them all day long and they won't shoot back. However, the RSM may not think too kindly of Rangers that destroy their property. FYI

Something just occurred to me, what site are they using for DRM-free downloads? If it's inXile's own site, that's going to be crushed and raped on September 19th.

I havent been following this thread but Im looking forward to the game. How long after the release do you expect it takes them to patch it up so that its actually playable in the way it was intended?

When people ask that question, I can never tell if they genuinely believe somebody could answer it, or if they're just being edgy.
