Wasteland Wasteland 2 Thread - Director's Cut

[circ]

Ok halp?

Spoiler

I'm in Ag Center and Kathy wants me to shut down the irrigation vent whatever - done that, killed Larsen. Then she said to use some computer. What computer? I only see the big one below between the 3 exits - mushroom cave and so on, and it doesn't do anything. I also got fungicide and cured Matt but the computer thing is the only thing left to do other than somehow clearing the obstructions and fixing the dish.

19 pages and no mention of Mrs Cocks?

:D

Well, she's a cutie. And makes weird wasteland movies about pandas...

 

[Jezal_k23]

Fyi this game is fucking awesome.

 

[felipepepe]

I had the stupid idea to do the same but luckily realized that for the TRUE RPG (TM) experience you need to take the time and fuck around and a second person to be dependent on is just a bad idea.

I share an apartment with my brother, I indoctrinated him since childhood to play co-op games with me, we finished BG2 on LAN co-op once, ffs.

But nooooooo, now he prefers to date someone, go to the movies and then have sex instead... humph.

Anyone fancy posting their ranger party with stats? I'm really interested in seeing how people are approaching the game.

Warning: I have no fucking idea what I'm doing. Much. I should have dumped STR on some of these. FUCK.

circ's gay party. All women but they're all gay.
Coordination, Luck, Awareness, Strength, Speed, Int, Charisma
Bunny - 4 3 3 4 4 4 7(+1 from gear) - Leader/talker
Doc - 4 3 4 4 4 6 3 - Um Doc?
Ghost - 5 6(+1 from gear) 5 3 4 4 2 - Sniper/perception/outdoorsman
Angel - 4 4 4 4 4 6 2 - Generic tech: lockpicking/disarming etc

Playing it and it has got too much of wild west and not enough post apo feel for my tastes. Too much wacky stuff also, even more wacky stuff than fallout 2, while in fallout 2 it was ok, here it feels just silly.

Sadly this will never reach Fallout legacy.

Fargo needed to namedrop Fallout in order to increase sales. Other than that, and a sandy color palette, it was never anything like a Fallout game.

So can Fargo give me back my money?

Too much wacky stuff

Dude, it's a Wasteland game.

Was hoping for more Fallout, meh.

 

[Suchy]

Heh, got it started after a couple of hours fighting with bugs. I had to get through the first conversation in windowed mode, low res (full resolution caused reboot few seconds in), afterwards it works OK in full res, I wonder for how long though.
Then broken savegames - aka. my saves not visible. Never the less got it wokring finally.

Now, is there any way to disable character markers (those neon rings under feet)? For me they're way too intrusive.

There is another area you can access from the caves where you stop/fix the genetor of the vent. Entrance is pass the morgue.

Bought and downloading. I think the game looks like shite compared to the competition, but I can't help but support anyone who tries to get this genre back on its feet.

Also, turn-based4life.

Random question: what's with the random Razer shit all over the place (both ingame and during install)? I know that the Razer CEO is a backer and he's in the game as "TNT" Tan -- that's fine.
So far WL2 asked me to install something called 'Razer Surround' which is also on a splash screen (I thought Razer only made overpriced gamer peripherals, whatever), and the first 'real' area I entered (AG center) had a "Highway to the Razerzone" sign staring me in the face (it was on a house in one of the fields). What next, Hell Razor getting renamed to Hell Razer? /troll

Now, is there any way to disable character markers (those neon rings under feet)? For me they're way too intrusive.

A lot of people hate them (myself included). There was a promise at some point to have an opacity slider for them, but it never materialized.

Is there a way to change a character's portrait after character creation. I haven't found a way. There is a portrait on that thread that is spot on for one of my PCs and would really like to change it, but am several hours into the game and don't feel like restarting just for changing a portrait.

If you used a stock portrait at game start? I have no idea. I bet there's a way to edit the character xml file, but I'm not the guy to figure it out. FWIW, if you start the game with a custom you can edit the portrait or substitute something else with the same filename and it works fine.

Also, why were about half of the portraits in beta removed from the release version? There is a much shorther list of portraits now. Not that this is a biggie, just wondering.

My theory is that they were "taken" by NPCs, so you don't have 100 guys in the game that all look the same. This was definitely an issue in the early beta.

I just can't seem to find a party I can be happy with. My current setup feels like it's all over the place and there isn't much synergy, despite having nearly all the important skills covered. Dunno, maybe making my party leader a max charisma smooth talker who is shit in combat just drags down the whole party. The game seems to favor people capable of fighting anyways. Back to the drawing board I go.

There's no particular reason to max Charisma on one guy. Extra XP is nice for everyone, but it doesn't boost your conversation skills that I know of. Weirdly, Charisma and speech skills have no effect on one another at all.

i hope this game doesn't require STR for using weapons, because I took 1 STR for my sniper

I think it's only for melee & heavy weapons and armor.

You say there are dump stats in this game? - Josh E. Sawyer may not like this... :D

Some weapons do have Strength requirements. I don't know any details beyond that.

Anybody else have any experiences good/bad about continuing a save from one of the last big betas?

I heard of at least one person who continued a save and couldn't even activate the transport vehicle to get to LA. So ... yeah. There are gamebreaking file inconsistencies out there. You've been warned.

just dont install it, you don't need any 'razer surround'.

Bunny - 4 3 3 4 4 4 7(+1 from gear) - Leader/talker

What's the probability of both of us naming one our characters Bunny, and making her a leader/talker? :D

I didn't install it (I don't install unknown third-party shit that comes with software if I can help it), but I was curious about inxile's rationale behind obvious product placement like this. I know that everyone can "get their name in the game" by pledging x$, but I thought using it for straight-up advertisement was out of the question?

Now, is there any way to disable character markers (those neon rings under feet)? For me they're way too intrusive.

So did they expand the options so those ungodly circles around the characters can be turned off?

Well, you can turn them off by switching out of "group mode". But then you need to select your entire party manually to move them as one.

 

[Shadenuat]

Tell me how buggy it is and how optimized it is, and be honest.
My card is empty and banks only open tomorrow, I need to hear something bad about the game to not feel abandoned and sad.

wait shit, tomorrow is sunday, banks may not be op--

SHHTIIT

So far i hadn't had any bugs. As for optimization i got good rig so it runs fine...... only issue im having is screen tearing even with v-sync on.

 

[circ]

I haven't run into a single bug but then I've been stuck in Ag center for 6 hours. But the camera is killing me. Ugh. Surprising no one at NO point in development went: Guys, this camera is shit lets start over.

 

[Spockrock]

... like in Ultima 7.

oh no you didn't

 

[bozia2012]

Sorry to say, but your bro sounds like a total loser.

 

[Zombra]

But the camera is killing me. Ugh. Surprising no one at NO point in development went: Guys, this camera is shit lets start over.

Yep. Still hate the lack of free y-axis control. Put in fog if you absolutely have to control the draw distance. Feels like I have an anchor around my neck forcing me to look straight down.

Um, not really. The moment you select your party, the circles appear again.

Never the less, still keeps crashing in full resolution. Unplayable in current state for me.
