Wasteland Wasteland 2 Thread - Director's Cut

Ah, so, somewhere between 40-50 depending on random encounters and a few other factors. Thanks.

Can you return to Arizona after you leave for LA? I missed stuff like Gamma Ray Blaster, and all the statues.

Level stops being important but for CON once you max out couple main skills really. Some builds will max out their skills around level 20 if not earlier, but my builds are completely fucked up so maxed out later on. Didn't matter much though.

Nope. Think Vargas makes is crystal clear before you head out that you won't be able to.

jesus fucking christ the final battle is intense!

Geesh, you must have fucked your builds even worst than me or indeed playing on harder difficulty

I have a question about ammo.

I've been reading a lot of complaints on various forums about this game being too hard. Of course, I take all of that shit with a huge bag of salt, because most people are bad at vidya games. Anyways, one of the whines I see frequently is centered on how there is not enough ammo. And I have to ask -- what the flying fuck are people talking about?

I have boatloads of ammo. Shitloads of it. Right now my team has the following weapon breakdowns:

1) Two assault rifles (Angela, main NPC)
2) Two shotgunners (NPC, Rose)
3) One sniper
4) One bladed melee

I have never once run out of ammo. I'm swimming in it. The only ammo I've had to buy is sniper-rifle oriented, and that was once. Granted, I'm only about 10 hours in and I just made it to the prison. But if my experiences in other games are true, I have a feeling that resources are not going to get more scarce as I progress through the game.

What gives? Who are these people that have no fucking ammo? Am I just lucky, or are they just terrible?

Ammo should never really be an issue past the first 30mins in game really. Later on, you'll be swimming in stacks of ammo.
Maybe they're playing on harder difficulty settings though, only tried normal so far but from what I hear, harder difficulty raises enemies HP a lot, so you need more ammo per kill.

 

[Konjad]

I only had issues with ammo at the beginning of the game, later I always had enough. I did have to buy ammo a few times to make sure I won't run out of it, but I never actually run out of it except the very early game.

They're terrible. And looks like I'm starting over again. And damn what a piece of shit area Titan was. No real resolution to anything, granted I gunned down everything but hey. Only mention was me disarming the nuke in Silo 7.

 

[Bitcher1]

So I've been fucking around with the savegame files (coz I sure as hell ain't got time or willpower to start over already) and I noticed that, aside from "available attribute points" and "available skill points" there's also a value for "available trait points".
Interdasting, interdasting...

 

[Decado]

I am really digging all the various complexities they built into the weapons system with ranges, etc. A lot of this stuff was brought up in the VAP and it is cool to see it being implemented.

 

[Starwars]

I have to say that while, on the whole, I enjoy Mark Morgan's music in Wasteland 2, there isn't nearly enough of it. The game could really use some more tracks to up the variety.

Here comes a 94/100 review to bring the Metascore back in the 80s: http://venturebeat.com/2014/09/25/wasteland-2-review/view-all/

 

[DosBuster]

Holy fuck, I'm done, it's been a hell of a ride.

Thank you inXile for the journey not only towards the game, but also during it.

While my endings slides broke, and I didn't get one for Rail Nomad's, I still enjoyed the ending quite a lot.

I'll do my second playthrough once my boxed copy is here and it's been patched a bit.

Thank you inXile, and well.. Wasteland 2 has been solidified as an all-time classic in my mind now.

(sea show this to the dev team, they could do with some moral support hehe)

Is the Highpool bugged or what? I found the dowry, dog and extinguished the fire on the house not to mention killing all the raiders and fixing the water pumps and yet those capitalist pigs and fascist oppressors of native population can't decide to vote on pro Kremlin Citadel candidate. I am considering gunning down those Imperialist dogs and moving on.

:russia:

The mismatched NPC models/portraits thing is now bothering me somewhat. I've finally got around to entering the Citadel, and there are semi-important characters with, for example, the portrait of a black guy with a crew cut in metal armor whose model is a white guy with long hair, a cattleman's hat, and a duster.

Repeat portraits, models and so on are completely fine and understandable, but how long could it take to approximately match models to portraits? Skin tone and hair is enough, clothing and such only need to be approximate, like hobo clothes on a captain. It takes me like a minute to find a matching configuration in character creation, tops. That's 60 characters per hour, and some will already be matchd well enough. Twenty hours later, you've ensured 1,200 characters aren't mismatched. I doubt there are that many actors in the entire game. Add another 20 hours for implementation fiddling and slacking off, and one person could have checked this in about a leisurely work week, if that.

Some reviewers (usually just customer reviewers) have noticed this and complained about it, too. If you're going to have portraits and detailed models, they should be done right.

Well, the game's supposed to be highly moddable. If the tools are there, I'll do it myself at some point.

 

[Psquit]

The fact that all the kids and Teens are regular character but shrunk is kinda annoying, But im sure they will patch it

 

[racofer]

Thought on the camera, racofer?

Absolute shit.

 

[Schizophrenic monolog]

Finally, a worthy review!!!

Question. In the final game stages:

Spoiler

Is there any way to stop your cybernetic squad mates from turning hostile? I am kind of fucked getting out of the basement because Rose is my computer techie and she goes rogue. Same for Lex QQ

EDIT: Also Vargas is a f-ing dumbass. Blind as hell- lets go and stick our face against the army of murderbots so that he could actually shoot things.... Oh what is that? A chainsaw! Np I have bandages and a cool beard. Lets rock!

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

okay thanks, I see the portraits, but where are all the rest of the install files? There is only portraits and saved games and character files, I can't find the main install files etc..

Steam doesn't "install" games, it downloads them in compressed form in many tiny pieces (so if there's an error it can re-download one piece quickly) and extracts once downloaded.

If you're trying to back up your game you can just zip up the steamapps/common/Wasteland 2 folder.

ok, sorry one more question/problem.

I am trying to read the manual, I go to the wasteland 2 store page and see the 'read manual' link on the right hand side of the screen, so I click it..it takes me to another page and the timer in the corner spins like it is loading something...a few seconds later it stops as if it has finished loading but I now have nothing but a blank page in my steam window. If I click the blank page, nothing happens... if I double click it the screen turns blue but steam is not frozen, I can go back to my library or the wasteland 2 store page. when I go back and try to click the read manual link again, the same thing happens. So I completely log out of steam and upgrade my adobe acrobat files to the newest version and try again.... same thing happens.

Is there some other way to read the manual? It is not in the 'my documents' 'my games' section of wasteland 2 install directory, nor do I see it in the local wasteland 2 's 'steamapp' folder where steam seems to have loaded more wasteland 2 files...is there someway to download the manual on the internet or something?

thanks for your help.

yes, I have for a couple months, waiting for 'icewind dale enhanced' which should be out any day I heard..

[spoilerThere's a 5 1/2" diskette around, take it and you can open the door on the floor above with it.

BTW bros... I have now played for a couple hours, just fiddling around making a party and looking at the opening section and so far I have to say I really am enjoying it. I like the:

%~*~*#~~%-- feels --%~~#*~* ~%

and atmosphere and general vibe. I even dig the sort of blurry graphic quality since it fits the world, I am very happy I got this game. Thanks inexile!..with the incredible slow pace I play games this will probably take me into next year to finish, I am sure I will get my moneys worth.

 

[Grotesque]

I've reached Silo 7, and on the left on the area map I see an entrance icon but can't access the area that is behind a very narrow pass through the rock.
Is this a bug?

I have Red's treasure quest but I dismissed him and entered the area without him.
I guess it has to do with that quest because I can see a plane's wing through the chasm.
