The ingame ui sounds, they are getting on my nerves, everything from mouse overs to the printer, i had to turn the sound off.
Also, something i have noticed as a minor annoyance, the use of skills, i would have preferred the skill use to be contextual, if you examined something and your character figured out what to do with it, the action your perform if you click on it.The same for inventory items like the shovel, you should only click on the dirt mound and if you had the shovel in the inventory you character would use it. In the case of being able to use more than one skill on an item or prop, a small window would pop-up with the skill choice and percentage.

Okay. Rough on the edges but everything for a good RPG is there. It crashed like fuck in every loading screen so I couldn't get myself past the frog to play more locations. But unlike new Shadowrun it actually has world you can travel around, cool device to deliver the plot (radio) instead of goddamn rails, skills and things to use them on, rewards for diplomacy and alternative solutions to quests.
Will buy but hope for better fonts/UI/party inventory/aimed shots blah blah people already mentioned everything.

Guys, it's be a long time since I've gotten those video game butterflies. Can't wait to play the final version.
I'm not playing the beta either but was surprised to see people citing no penalty for moving and shooting.
The system could have both, APs and a penalty for moving (dependent on the distance moved). With only APs, it's very binary, you can either take the shot at maximum efficiency or you can not take the shot at all, no in-betweens, so a movement penalty could improve a system with APs as well.
Granted, I was being hyperbolic when implying that not having a penalty for movement would be outright retarded, but improving the combat seems like the main area crpgs could and should make actual progress in.

Just noticed that the game uses the Visual C++ 2013 runtime. BLEEDING EDGE

Yep. It's a container with random items. Functions just the same as a chest, but with toaster art and requires toaster repair to open.

good proof that loot tables are to be implemented later
There's a second toaster on the graveyard in Rail Nomad's Camp. Also has shitty random loot.

I can't leave the Agricultural Center without CTD. God fucking damn it! I was having fun.
Got that as well, and a lot of people seem to do as well... that and the bug that makes you unable to save killed my will to play the game seriously until they patch it. I'm just derping and trying different things now.
I agree that accuracy should take into account the whole trajectory of the projectile. I have seem both the player characters and the enemies missing and hitting something either in front or behind the target, but that should be more common.. Especially hitting stuff in front of the target should be much more common. The way it works now, you can shoot "through" multiple squad members and hit enemies without any problems.
However, strongly disagree with the concept of decreased ranged accuracy for nearby enemies. That is not how guns work. Accuracy goes down the further the target is. Period. It's never the other way around. Also, moving and shooting in the same turn doesn't mean moving and shooting at the same time, thus resulting in decreased accuracy. Decado is right on this issue. Unlike him, I have no military experience but I've been shooting IPSC for some time, and the way you do it is by interleaving bursts of fast movement and no shooting with periods of standing still and shooting. Shooting first and then moving or moving first and then shooting makes no difference because over the course of a single course of fire you go through this run/shoot cycle multiple times, so, in the end, it doesn't matter at all whether you started the course of fire by shooting or by running.

Heh, thanks. I guess i'll derp around with party creator as well.
By the way, has anyone found that doctor's (the one who joins you) diary or something? There's also some strange stuff you can find buried in the Ag Centre (Rubik's Cube, Torn Jacket etc.), does any of it have any use, or are those just misc items you can sell for scrap?
I found the diary, it seems it doesn't do anything ATM. Found various weird items as well, like marbles, wooden eyes, and even a Bon Jovi album.
No, it's just that, seriously, you can't demand everything at once.
The original Wasteland's strengths were exploration, writing and atmosphere. To some extent character development, too. I would expect the sequel to build on those, first and foremost. (If it doesn't deliver on that, it fails as a sequel, of course.)

So far the only feeling of exploration I've had is that because I don't have an area map, I have to scroll around the map with my camera. Otherwise it's fairly linear, but not as linear as mainstream games. FWIW I am still in Ag Center, and I won't be playing it again for a week or so probs.
But the char gen, writing, music (win++) and atmosphere are there.
Combat, UI, exploration, C&C, looting, quests and stuff still have a looooong way to go.

I have 3 questions for Devs:
1) Is there any way to back W2 now after the shop is gone? I want to offer more than the price on Steam. Does backing Numenara Tier with the W2 and then going to Ranger Center and upping my pledge works? I know I should have done it way earlier, but I always do everything too late and I believed that the store will be still open for 2,3 months from now so my money will help in the process of iteration. The though I cant back now is physically painful.
2)It's written on the Steam that beta includes 30% of the game. Fargo and Markland stated earlier that it is 20%. Something changed, it is hard to estimate or You did a little of bullshiting and marketed the beta on Steam as it have already included expansion of content which is planned in the future?
3) How are playthrough statistic? Earlier it was between 10-15h with most beating it in 10-12. I am quite curious how much did a host of Steam players change? Any ADHG or uberflegmatic yet?

So... except for Sea angling for another line producer spot... anyone discovered any C&C? Any reactiviteah?
Anything better then just choosing between AGcenter or Highpool?
Is there any consequences in dealing with quests differently and can you deal with the quests differently at all? How are the "diplomatic" options in this sense?
