Wasteland Wasteland 2 Thread - Director's Cut

- Additional potential hidden modifiers like low Luck also factor in

Ha, since everyone I've seen dumps luck to 1 on all characters, I think that constant unexpected jams are poetic justice

 

[Schizophrenic monolog]

Knocked down to #3 on Steam by another goddamn Early Access walking simulator.

After a long day, playing Wasteland 2, people need to stretch their muscles...
Therefore, god invented walking simulator.

I walk, therefore i am!

Think about all the possibilities!
Chop down some wood - build a wooden house and a bow.
Walk a little...
Hunt a deer...
Walk some more...
Drink water... The urge to piss doesn't exist... like ever!
Walk some more...
Discover fire - eat hot meal.
Walk some more...
Go to sleep - dream about running!
Wake up...
Do the same as yesterday...

Best game ever - buy 3434653546345 copies just for fun.
Sell your children to slavery to have enough money to buy the deluxe version - where you can walk even more!!!! (on a shiny new hill - with fucking flowers and stuff!!!!)

And most importunately - it's early access edition - full of bugs and zero plot - so you walk like a fucking cripple after stepping on a mine.

On the other hand - Wasteland 2 did exactly the same

#4 now.

The outdoor maps are too big.

No. Fuck you.

Who should i side with in the canyon to get the best "feelgood" outcome?

BTW, Night Terror is fucking cute.

 

[Blaine]

Party's finally done.

Spinning Birds remains my favorite concept. Hugh Thanasia is the team doctor.

When you guys planning on fixing the custom portrait bug for international users using special characters in their windows account? Sucks that i have to use the standard ones.

I think most of us have dumped to one because higher luck didn't seem to make any difference.

I have had three NPCs join me, all of them were clearly suicidal in their approach to combat. Would be nice if there was a way to tell them to stay back and not run to the front of the group...

So now that I made the game work on win XP, I am having a lot of fun with it. Very good so far. And, of course, toaster repair is that kind of skill where I go "sounds interesting... I need this!". And I was quite pleasantly surprised to see hat it actually does have a use... for actually repairing toasters!

 

[Tigranes]

Tempted to restart as one always is, but might stick with this group on Ranger then minmax on Jerk next time and go for the 'bad' ending.

4 NPCs only of course. The writing isn't so good that I want to take them for story (as with, say, MOTB) and I prefer the tactical scarcity challenge offered by 4. I can't imagine 7, it'd be like having a horde at your disposal.

Just bought an EU-wide key for €18.99

The harder you fight the forces of price decay, the harder they come pushing back.

That's funny when you obtain two rad suit sets you can't get rid of the other one. Can't sell it, can't drop it. So that's +10 lb perma-dead weight.

Did I say funny? I meant fucking annoying.

Equip armor that drops their combat speed. Or pump up leadership on one of your squad members. Or rage quit uninstall.

 

[Zombra]

AND I HAVE TO RE-DO ALL THE CHARS EACH TIME BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SAVE CHARACTER TEMPLATES (at least I didn't find a way to, herp)

Huh? Export button on the second screen.

Oh ... I see you got it to work so you don't need this any more. Still, maybe good to know if you decide to restart / play through again someday.

 

[JarlFrank]

Aye. But I guess the better idea would be to buy a more up to date operating system

 

[Suchy]

Fuck... Crashes randomly both in Windows and Linux, in exactly the same manner. But not just WL2, tried a Unity3D demo and the same happens. I'm experiencing crashes only with Unity3D, other games work OK.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

The weapon jam should be applied to individual weapons, not adding up for the whole team. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

:facepalm:

No, J_C, that's not what he meant. It is individual. The emergent result of each individual weapon jamming like that is that you frequently get a weapon jam across the entire party. He just showed you the math demonstrating that.

Ok, ok, I get it. But having a jam for one member in every combat with 2 percent jam rating is still not plausable.

What a beautiful example that humans are not born to understand probability....

 

[Bubbles]

Looking at the current state of the Steam top 10 list (beware the new color scheme), I suspect WL2 should have had a co-op mode.

 

[Weirdstuffinspace]

Can you disable the speech button telling you when you are using smart ass or asskisser dialogue?

I'm actually in the same situation and I took the same decision.

I can give NPCs armor? Have I missed the trade button somewhere? How will higher leadership help me control NPCs?
It is not as big a problem to make me ragequit, it is just a hazzle to keep them alive.

Have I misunderstood what NPC means..?

Coordination is definitely a viable dump stat. The only thing you're really getting from it is AP, which you can get elsewhere and which is inferior to initiative after around ~8-10 AP (depending on weapon type). The extra hit % isn't worth the points since the vast majority of your hit % comes from the weapon skill and other bonuses like crouch/leadership/highground/etc combine to make missing fairly rare. Initiative usually ends up giving more extra attacks than AP anyways, since it actually straight up gives you more turns every time carry over is higher than the enemies initiative.

A ranger with a high coordination has grace, a deft touch and fine motor skills. Coordination helps avoid traps and attacks, pick locks, and improve aim. A minimum is required for some ranged weapons.

This is from wiki and it sounds fair but I don't think is really implemented at the moment. Has anyone found weapons with Coordination requirements?

No, I wrote wrong. 4 Characters.

Extremly bad game. I gave it up before even completing the first "quest". You have to kill a Large Toad which proves impossible on Normal difficulty. Amazing.

It's quite easy even on ranger difficulty, he must be functionally retarded. It can basically be said that he was outsmarted by a toad, hell, real toads probably have better intelligence than the toad AI.

Go play Divinity:Original Sin it's a turn based party crpg that is better at litterary eveything:

(depth of strategy, character progression,story,writting,dialogs,characters,graphics,sounds,music,controls,ui)

I find it funny that only the first thing in this list is actually true, D:OS fanboys are pretty cancerous. Unlike regular decline popamolers they actually think they know shit about CRPGs.. Brilliant.
These reviewers are Literrary fucking retarded.​

"Wow, I was sitting on attribute points and didn't even know it."

This is soemthing that Fargo and co can be blamed for since it's not in the manual (unless I'm blind and totally missed it lol).


"Is there a level cap?"

50 I think. I don't why there needs to be a cap in a game like this. if people want to waste their time running the WL for more xp more power to 'em.
