Hooray, we (they, YOU) did it!! Kickstarter and Paypal pledges combined, the Wasteland 2 crowdfunding drive is now over $3 million!

Look here for a proof picture!

Apart from just being amazing per se, it also means the mod tools are in! WastelandNexus ahoy!! (And here's hoping someone will be crazy enough to remake the original game in the W2 engine, making one huge RPG out of it!)

Jesus, where did those $400,000 come from? When I saw the page yesterday in the late evening it hadn't crossed the barrier of $2,500,000.

Hello! This is my Main Character Mod

If you're like me, you realized what a huge mistake Bethesda commited by not letting you play as one of the characters. This mod rectifies that, giving a more cinematic feel to the game. Best played with Kona-chan's Improved Female Textures so your commander can have a cadre of amazons fighting for him

Female textures? But I wanted my own house, so I cold arrange my pixels in uninteresting and unpossible ways . . . So I could feel like I have a home, if only virtual.

It passed $2.5M three days ago, maybe you had too much to drink on Saturday and blacked out for two days?

WastelandNexus ahoy!!

Someone's looking forward to review the usual bioware/bethesda game fan mods for wasteland, huh? Maybe an alternate solution to how to do Bobbys dog?

 

[Davaris]

Congrats to Brian Fargo!

45 min to go. I'm very excited because with the fundraising coming to a close... Development will start

 

[felipepepe]

And here's hoping someone will be crazy enough to remake the original game in the W2 engine, making one huge RPG out of it!

I can definetly see that happening.

 

[Duckard]

On one hand, I don't want those vile cretins from the likes of loverslab and fallout nexus to defile Wasteland 2 with their child rape mods. On the other hand, I don't give a fuck because HOLY SHIT.

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Half hour to go. I do hope they use money for good and that we will have a good RPG to play. I also hope customs won't be dicks about the collectors edition.

What do you mean early access? Will we get them at all? I mean the 30$ pledgers?
