Wasteland Wasteland 3 + Battle of Steeltown and Cult of the Holy Detonation Expansions Thread

[Barbarian]

I have enjoyed the game, but all comments I have seem so far are pretty universal in claiming that the dlc is absolute crap and not worth a replay. I kind of stuck by it.

 

[Sykar]

You've probably already played most since the last 5 years have been pretty lean in the proper RPG department. ATOM RPG + Trudograd, Fallout Nevada/Resurrection/Sonora, Archolos, Expeditions Viking, Titan Outpost, The Quest, Dex, Underrail, Age of Decadence, Shadowrun Hong Kong, and Brigand Oaxaca. Maybe West of Loathing, Vigilantes, Knights of the Chalice 2, Bloodstained, and Elex.

Ain't nobody got time for that shit

Obligatory

Cult Of The Holy Detonation is not so good, but I enjoyed my time playing through the Battle Of Steeltown about as much as through the main game.

It has its problem. Mainly that whatever you do in Steeltown doesn't seem to have any real impact in Colorado at large, at least not while the game is still going on (end slides are dealt with appropriately), whereas it should be of capital import. Aside from that: a narrative misstep here; quite a contentious design decision for combat there; also one truly stupid take on a potential resolution to Steeltown's inner conflict; but overall no complaint that couldn't also be leveled against the main game.

What man wouldn't take the time to appreciate his own art?

That is what Paul Reubens said when he was caught jerking off in a theater.

Small world.

 

[razvedchiki]

any mods for harder battles?

 

[ItsChon]

world and story nothing special but made by one guy

World and story are some of the best in any RPG. You're wrong.

I know it is a spoilery question, but does steeltown at least gives you an alternative option to solve the energy problem?

Spoiler

I remember that to get the "good" ending where you take down the patriarch without actually siding with slavers and causing anarchy forced you to side with the Reagan worshippers, all the while the idea of freeing the Reagan AI and sending it to the robot commune sounded better but screwed things up.

I imagine solving the steeltown issue should provide an alternative where you release Reagan and still manage to keep the Patriarch's subjects on your side. If not that is just lazy on the dev's part

It's a factory, they don't produce the oil that Colorado Springs needs for energy.

However the Cult of Holy Detonation involves a nuclear power plant and you can in fact use that as an alternative. (too bad it's a universally reviled DLC)

why do u think so

 

[Atlantico]

To be fair, I did play through Wasteland 2, but I gave up on Wasteland 3. FWIW

Game drags on too long with them, just skip.

Would a bro reccomend a decent game to try? Last actual game I have actually enjoyed and managed to play through to the end was this.

WOTR was too faggy and woke. Wartales was pretty good but I have decided to hold on until final release. Expeditions: Rome bored me before I could finish it.

I'm not sure I have actually missed something that was released last few years, but being that I hadn't actually heard of wartales until recently probably.

Doesn't have to be turnbased, but a party-based rpg with a decent enough premise and gameplay, and also not infected by terminal wokeness. Sandbox is ok but the likes of Bannerlord are such a disappointment.

Naheulbeuk fits the bill.

Not really interested in that, but thanks for the tip.

The only semi-recent crpg worth a shit in my book is Underrail.

I am soon halfway through Wasteland 2 DC. Currently WL 3 is 67% reduced on Steam so around 15 Euro bucks for the whole thing or 10 for the base game. Is the game worth it at that price?

 

[jackofshadows]

I'd say get the base game, then yes.

Yes. Specially if you enjoyed Wasteland 2. W3 is a much better game.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

Is the DLC worth 50% more than the base game, no. Is it worth the cost of a coffee or two, probably.

 

[Barbarian]

I played wasteland 3 without any dlc and everybody here convinced me a replay with the dlc wasn't worth it.

 

[Sykar]

Well 5 Euro shekels more is not really an issue so might as well get it.

Never heard of Humble Bundle?

Well, I'll be...

You should not have to log in with either of those. I've had an account for ages.
