Malcador Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Duelists is more apropos, as people will be like Feraud and can't let a defeat go Why has elegance found so little following?

Jozape Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 First reviews for Wasteland 3 are in and the reviews are good so far; The main negative seems to be technical issues. I'm burning out on post nuclear war I think, but the alternative is Baldur's Gate 3 (which I may play anyways, don't know) and I'm starving for a good "classic" RPG. Guess it is time for my cheap ass to renew that Gamepass subscription or whatever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One PC because it's a role playing game and it's easier to roleplay as one person than four. It took me a while to get used to having multiple PCs but it's fine now. I do prefer the one PC though. Divinity original sin was super annoying with their dual controled conversations... Really hated that. Wasteland 2 I got used to. Just made the leader the role played character and the other three silent (in head canon) Edited August 27, 2020 by Theonlygarby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I usually just use my family as a template for the 4 person party. Before the wife and kids, I'd put myself in with my favorite hockey players. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanoid Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Yeah, I'm going to force myself to use three pre-made characters this time around because as mentioned, last time around by the time I got a party together the mood to play the game had gone. I find these days a game has to grab me quick, like within an hour, or I'll probably end up indefinitely shelving it. To this day I've spent more time on character creation in W2 than I did on the rest of the gameplay combined.

Wormerine Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 RPS review isn't great. I will definitely hold from playing it, at least until they patch it up a bit. Still, I am not finished with Kingmaker and But if you know the clunky moving parts of the game intimately after 10 hours, and the remaining 90 hours is story filler of varying quality, then your ratio of quids-to-entertainment (if you subscribe to such a philosophy) is all screwy. sounds very familiar. Honestly, I didn't quite like what I have seen in the demo. I will play it someday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Given that most of the reviews I've seen of WL3 talk of varying degrees of technical issues, the fact that the Linux version got delayed may be a blessing in disguise. Once I do get to play it, I'll make all 4 characters. In WL2 I did a Threes Company theme (Jack, Janet, Chrissy, abd Mr. Roper), not sure what I'll go with this time.

I'm also really bad at character building. Usually I have to restart halfway through a game because I've made too many mistakes... Story characters usually aren't optimal but still better than what I come up with. 1 hour ago, Wormerine said: I just created myself and my 3 friends. I don't know what to do for W3 though.

bugarup Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I prefer custom NPC parties for story heavy games like Pillars, but Wasteland's different, I loved its party creation and I still fondly remember my heroes Tom of Finland, Crazy Natasha, Gasmask Gertrude and Simo Hayha. As for W3, I was stupid enough to try and play W2 on launch, fooled me once, now I'm waiting a year at least, if not for "GOTY director's edition". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
