Jozape Posted August 27, 2020 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
Humanoid Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I'll try not to burn myself out during character creation this time. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

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
Hurlshort Posted August 27, 2020 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

ShadySands Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I only created 1 character most of the time in WL2 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Malcador Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I better get around to playing WL2, forgot I own it. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Humanoid Posted August 27, 2020 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. Edited August 27, 2020 by Humanoid 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Hurlshort Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I actually force my family members to adopt a diverse skill set in real life so they make a better party in RPG games. 1 1 3 1 1
Wormerine Posted August 27, 2020 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.

Keyrock Posted August 27, 2020 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.

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.

majestic Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Wait a bit, an inXile release has techincal issues? Say it ain't so, what's next, a buggy Obsidian game? 1 5 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

bugarup Posted August 27, 2020 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
Hurlshort Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is out and on sale for $20 on Steam. I picked it up, looks like an interesting survival evolution game.
uuuhhii Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) so one need to have multiple friend and family they actually care about to feel multiple character creation less awful? no wonder it is a dying video game design Edited August 27, 2020 by uuuhhii 1
