Wasteland Wasteland 2 Thread - Director's Cut

[Weirdstuffinspace]

I've decided to restart with a team of three, using these pictures from storm, drawn by don lawrence.

I'm having trouble getting my custom portraits to work though..

They're in the my games/wasteland2/custom portraits folder

Any ideas?

Thanks.

How's LA? I'll be heading there in tomorrow's play through after I've finished up Darwin.

 

[Weirdstuffinspace]

That's twice now I had to reload because allies shoot me in the back and kill me. With friends like these

thinking on this i thought perhaps having luck maxed out means a few bullets less in the spine

portraits work. needed games/wasteland2/custom portraits/YOUR PORTRAITS dir to put them in.

That's the blackest womern I ever did see. But she changes her afro to straight red hair and makes her skin pale like a human chameleon. It's gotta be the rads.

Where the fuck can i get more goo containers? These assholes want 6 now.

There are two in the second screen and four on the first. If you have your escort it isn't too big of an issue to get them.

Looted a fancy submachine gun, didn't check the ammo type, it doesn't take the same ammo all the other submachines gun have taken. I sold the other submachine guns, now this guy has no ammo.

 

[Volourn]

I did that a few times. I'm just glad I tend to save when I get back to town. FUCK THAT SHIT. That's what 'save scummiing' is for.

That said, while it can be 'annoying' I do like how you can't save in random encounters or in combat.

Christ, is brawling as useless for you guys as it is for me? All fist based weapons I've found so far are shit and do pitiful damage, and the AP cost doesn't make them really worth picking over blunt or bladed weapons. Though it might be because my brawler was Randy, who's a pretty useless companion all-in-all.

I haven't used it personally, but so far the progression has been bare fists -> sap gloves -> brass knuckles, all of which suck Aberforth's goat cock.

What are your stats? Brawling works in the mid-game only if you max it fast and have the right build, otherwise it's not that good until the late-game (where you find the AP 7 claws).

Actually, sap gloves are rather ok through the majority of Arizona. It's one of the combat trees where upgrading them to the next tiers may actually hurt you.

Okay, I see what people mean about weapons constantly jamming. Holy fuck, my two FAMAS have been jamming more than Bob fucking Marley. The hairier the fight, the more they jam. I'm talking two in a row, even three. Then there went the sniper rifle. Of course they take a shit on you during the hardest fights, no doubt there's some secret code there.

The thing to know is, burst fire checks for a jam on every single bullet, which is probably why some people think weapons jam a lot more than it says on the tin.

I'm still going to win the fight by the way, I opened with a grenade and those don't jam.

Wasteland 2 theme song:

You can mod some of the weapons to reduce the jam with sturdy mags, but it is pretty silly to have a revolver jam on you all the time. Heavy weapons can't be modded either, which means they will inevitably jam a lot. There's probably a trinket for it, though.

I'm really enjoying the game so far in spite of its flaws. I'm glad I avoided early access so I can come in fresh.

Like I said in my edit; I was primarily using Randy at the time, who's admittedly a pretty shit companion. Just wound up replacing him with Takayumi in the end, seeing as he's built like a brick shithouse and is pretty proficient in bladed weapons and demolition.

Hi guys, newbie here.

I haven't played Fallout 1 or 2 so i can't compare but with your opinions seems like very far from them and well, i must admit it...i'm not a proffesional RPG gamer, only played Baldurs Gate, Planescape, Fallout 3 New Vegas and hated TES saga so Wasteland 2 has been a new game added to this list.

I must say i'm enjoying this game like hell, i know Inxile has failed in technical and graphic terms with W2 but i am enjoying the core game and it's reactivity, even the combat.

But seems like you guys are a bit (very) dissapointed with the game, i like reading your opinions so if you can explain with a brief summary why this game is "crap" for most of you i will appreciate it and with all this kind of things, it seems like i'm enjoying a shitty game, so wtf you are lowering my hype while i'm playing it! T_T

P.D: Sorry about my english, and thx

The containers in which to hold them? I know where the goo cans are, but I was only given 3 containers. Went to the questgiver, doesnt offer any more.

I visit the shooting range on a regular basis, and revolvers don't jam period, unless perhaps they're physically damaged or in poor condition and malfunction some other way (which would make sense in WL2). The rounds aren't magazine-fed and the shells aren't ejected. They just sit there in the cylinder. Semiauto pistols vary; some of my pistols almost never jam, while others (my Ruger Mk III, and actually .22 LR pistols in general in my experience) will jam fairly frequently, but clearing them is a cinch. I'd imagine some machine pistols, of which I own absolutely not even a single one, might jam very frequently on full auto, but I wouldn't know anything about that.

Rifles also vary, though IME jamming is much less commonplace in rifles than in pistols. Also unlike most pistols, rifles can sometimes be a pain in the ass to to clear.

Where are you getting that from? The reception of this game seems al'right, for the codex at least. It isn't overhyped like D:OS, but even that had at least a post a page knocking it.

Well, from some posts from people, but if you say it's having a good overall reception i trust you then XD

BTW i am so pissed about some reviews, ok the game in technical terms is not a good game (graphics, etc) but am i the only one who likes the game visuals? ok, it's no Divinity or PoE but i like this post-apocalyptic art style.

this weird guy named Provost that follows me around screaming latin inanities, his handgun jams every other turn.

Anyone know what this guy was about? In my current playthrough he immediately got eviscerated by a wolf, but his seemingly random presence & behavior was a bit unnerving. I assume it's another clever meta-joke, but just where exactly lies the punchline? The narrator also says "it's a big rock, just saying" or sth like that in the spot where you find him.
BTW it just so happens that I started this game after finishing Alpha Centauri with the University faction.

Found the Codex shrine:

Spoiler

Inside was a trinket, a ring called Choice, equipped, now wondering what the consequence will be. :p

 

[Bradylama]

Just got my asshole torn apart by a pack of 3 slicerdicers.

I think I love this game.

That's cool, but spoiler that shit, man.
