Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Update #48: Meet Nathan Long + New Dialogue UI

[Surf Solar]

No, I was just wondering, because I like to play games just the same, with mouse only.

I like how the dialogue UI now takes up half the screen.

 

[agris]

I think the point is, let people click the keywords OR use the number keys to select 1 - 10.

 

[Infinitron]

Your request has been passed on to the proper authorities. (that's you sea)

I'll include the suggestion in the next feedback roundup. Maybe. If I feel like it. If I like you enough. I really could use new shoes, you know...

 

[Stinger]

Considering that in Dialogue the player isn't doing anything else should it really matter how much of the screen the UI takes up?

*batters eyelids*

That sounds exceedingly painful.

I liked to sit cross legged and have one hand free for my dick.

Seriously. How the fuck is this even an issue.

Wasteland 2: The Curse of the UI ... just kidding. The last proposal is decent.

 

[Davaris]

Just to be nit picky, I think its about 80%-90% there. The narrow borders with sharp edges around the Grease and COTC portraits don't look quite right to me. Narrow borders/sharp edges aren't 80s style.

Brian wants me to rewrite a gag which he feels is in poor taste.

This Brian guy sounds like an asshole.

Nah, the game's writing is full of poor taste, and if this guy made an NPC named Brother Guano then I'm all for cutting his gags.

Also his favourite companion he wrote was Vulture's cry? Her dialogue is cringe worthy, "You messed with the wrong noble savage!" " The white man's poison pollutes this river!" She says that second one in the rail nomads camp. Her writing is basically just her reciting cliche's and verses from Iron Maiden's run to the hills. That isn't looking good for the potential companions in the game if she's the high point.

Sounds like a post-apocaliptic version of Jaheira.

I wish... (and I'm not kidding), that it had an animated daisy-wheel [print head]; or ~probably better... a type-ball.
