Wasteland Wasteland 2 Thread - Director's Cut

[Bradylama]

The reduction is quite big, about 40%. But I don't know if it's a simple math (dmg to a mob with an armor equal or higher to my AP is always 40% off) or something more complicated (the higher the difference the bigger the reduction). I just noticed that when my brawler, who is regularly criting low-armored mobs for 100 dmg, is punching armored robots he does only 60 dmg.

Ok good, that makes sense for armor protection then. The way it's described in the manual makes it sound like a simple sum reduction. As though if you have AP5 and the enemy has 8 armor then only 3 damage is reduced.

I need some help regarding Rodia.

Spoiler

I know how to poison Biggun and the guy in the casino, but i can't fucking figure out what to do with Greek. I know i can fill the empty bottle with water, but that's it. Anyone figured it out?

Fuck, i figured it out. Too bad i already decontaminated the well D:

 

[Grotesque]

There is a hammer with fix damage. I could be tested with it the damage reduction mechanics?

Yep, happened to me too.

And from what I've heard from my mates and read on forums there's literally nobody who got the sequence right :D
Not sure if it's a bad design or a very good one.

Guys, speaking of Rodia, please help, is this a bug?

Spoiler

If you save the Mayor, he tells you Virgil can fix the radio tower. I went to see him, he told me to find his pet possum, I found the damn thing, came back aaand...nothing. He thanks me, gives me some ammo and that's it. No more dialogue options. I can't fix the tower on my own (or it needs an insanely high MechRep skill) so is this a game stopper bug?

[DosBuster]

Of course it comes out AFTER I finish the game..

 

[Tigranes]

- Changed all .8 Combat Speed NPCs to 1.0.

Did they just make enemies even faster?

 

[Greatness]

They did say this patch is 100% save game compatible right?

 

[Tigranes]

Yes.

Seems more like they made some slow enemies faster, and left the faster enemies alone.

Found this in the source code, the description for Traits:
"Rangers have additional traits which affect their attributes and stats. Which ones are available depend on their current attributes and stats, and what they have accomplished in the Wasteland."
For those wondering, the code for traits are still in the game, so you could theoretically put your own ones in.

It's a shame they're not in by default, since that would allow to further define your dudes. The skill progression isn't exactly thrilling.

 

[DosBuster]

Patch is now up on gog.com guys

Rail Nomads

Fucking Rail Nomads, man... I presumably could have used Hardass to force Casey to give me the brake shoe, but figured Chief Cocklicker would use that as an excuse to REALLY stick it to Atchisons, so I decided to try brokering a peace instead. I figured I could swing something, at least. I cleared out the Rail Thieves, didn't rat out the drug dealer (perhaps that had an impact), and the most Chief Cocklicker would do was offer peace in exchange for keeping the golden spike, taking back the brake shoe, and cutting off Casey's arm as well. In other words, he wouldn't compromise at all.

Since Casey was willing to compromise and give up the brake shoe, and even to have his arm cut off, I slaughtered Chief Cocklicker like a dog for being an unreasonable fuck. That was some p. gud lewtz.

 

[Schizophrenic monolog]

Of course it comes out AFTER I finish the game..

Well, now you have an excuse to play the game again

 

[mutonizer]

Well, now you have an excuse to play the game again

Gonna grab 2 6s of beer and a bottle of martini later today, then I'll give it a go again, fresh and all. When so many people, especially here, call it their game of the year, I think I'm just missing something for thinking it's "good try but crap".
So! New patch! Booze! Come at me FUN!

 

[LJ40]

Several people on GOG saying the patch is fucked.

http://af.gog.com/forum/wasteland_s...been_updated_with_patch_1/page1?as=1649904300

 

[Ovplain]

Yep. Seems so.:S

Gotta reinstall the whole fucking thing now too.

 

[cvv]

Borked GOG patch confirmed. It downloads and installs allright but trying to load a save hangs the progress bar half way through.

Fucking fantastic.

 

[skacky]

Fuck, I just quit the game to update it. Let's see if Steam's patch behaves the same as GOG's.

 

[Infinitron]

21:45 - sea: yeah looking into it
21:48 - sea: wondering if it's GOG specific
21:48 - sea: their update is only 100 MB or something
21:48 - sea: and saves reported not working work fine on Steam build for me
21:48 - sea: so
21:48 - sea: :V

GOG gonna GOG.

 

[Monocause]

Sorry for being lazy and not reading through tons of posts, but anyone willing to give some feedback on how's the game? I'm thinking about buying it in two weeks or so but GabeN stole too much money from me recently so decided to stick to more, ahem, informed purchases.

Obviously there's plenty of stuff on the net to read through but I'm specifically interested in how does the Kodex Kritical Konsensus feel about this one.

 

[Cazzeris]

GOG patch works finely for me.

Performance have been greatly improved. Also, Spanish translation is better than ever (there are still some errors, though).
