Why is that? I’ve just purchased the game so am intrigued. Is toaster repair akin to general purpose repair? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

😅 oh excellent. Glad I didn’t choose it when character building 🙏🏼

I know it's a trap but it was really hard to not spec into that just to see. In my second playthrough I'll find out haha

A spoiler that i'm sad I heard, but also a little glad because it is writing like that, that makes me keep coming back to CRPGs. Divinity Original Sin 2 is the same way

Thanks for the absolutely fucking massive spoiler.

​@@DeimosPCpoor baby 😅

​@DeimosPC Yeah. Could have lived without it. I mean why respect the idea that, you know, NOT EVERYONE who wants to play it ALREADY FUCKING HAS.

Holy shit the video itself literally spoiled it. The game is almost 10 years old

There was something off about the 3rd one I couldn't put my finger on. I still liked it overall, but 2 felt like a better experience.

@@Crimsonfangg I feel like Wasteland 3 lacks a touch of grit. It's alittle too vibrant and "Neat" for a post apocalyptic world. Fallout 4 suffered from this aswell. The visuals are bright and saturated with color. If they had aimed more for pastels and faded colors, I believe it would have felt more accurate.

@@Crimsonfangg I feel the same way. i couldn't tell anyone why if they asked me, it just doesn't have that old feel like wasteland 2 did. still it was a good game and i enjoyed my time with it...

100%

@@emulation2369 I have slightly worse than that, dont ask ... :D

whats your new spec man ?

Play tyrrany by Obsidian if you can. Worth it for the novel premise.

@@senrign Nothing major, I am on a budget, Like Gtx 1050TI with the AMD Ryzen 5 4500, 16gb ram, satisfies all my needs for the time being, probably going to swap out the graphics card soon, but all in all I am good.

@@pronoydutta614 Absolutely, I will make my way to it. Gotta play all the previous Crpg releases first starting from POE :)

Same I actually didn't know this game was as big as it is and was very happy 50 hours in..

Respect dude

Same here man 👍

Can you recommend some other CRPG games with similar passion behind them by chance? Also: i'm only playing on Switch unfortunately

@@jaredponder4149 I don't know much about switch. But pillars of eternity 1 and 2 are very good. For me especially the first one. Also Tyranny from the same company. Divinity Original sin 1 and 2.

This comment made me decide to pull the trigger on Wasteland 2 sometime soon (after holidays let's be honest).

Enjoy POE2 :D. It's very well made. Up there for sure.

I did the same. I also backed the 3rd one. The fancy edition for both are pretty nice!

Same here. I love having those old school boxes and cloth maps. Now I just wish I still had my og Wasteland box to have the complete collection on the shelf. With M$ buying inXile I don't think we're going to see a Wasteland 4 any time soon.

Almost 100k woo!!!

I always went with the water choice because I figured without water nothing grows. In short term people might starve but at least food would eventually be grown.

Depends on the release schedule, normally one at a time, but in the case of multiple games releasing at the same time I jump around

Seconded

Please 100% review "A Bard's Tale".

To be honest imo it should've been something like that, maybe 7. Completed original very early on the release and now completing dc version. I remembered that blunt weapons are very effective and made "grunt" that I put bit too little strength as I recalled getting attributes way more. Now quite near the end game I don't think I get that character like I would've thought. In this regard it's quite easy still to screw up making good team. It feels bit silly to super upgrade skills, but character itself diesn't get that much better during complete playthrough.

​@@jothainany tips on avoiding the pitfall of picking a not diverse enough team in the beginning??? Thinking of buying this and kinda wanna go in as blind and unknowledgable as possible

@@jaredponder4149 it's great game imo. I highly suggest to grab it. I'll try to give run down if my just completed crew from second play through. There's four from the start. One of the most critical was Pills. Combat medic that focuses on speed. Field medic and surgeon skills maxed at the end. Weapon skill handguns, I suppose smg would also work well. So to say bonus skills for her alarm disabling, but not worth maxing out maybe about 5 points would work. Maybe couple leadership points as she is always near others and leadership increases stats for others. Second quite critical character was Hex that can be selected from the beginning. Maxed energy weapons, demolitions, computer science and good at toaster repairs skills. Secondary weapon skill which energy weapons fella definitely needs could be ie. Assault rifle or shotgun. And for anyone that would use shotgun then go full into it and have perks that disable friendly fire. Without those perks shotgunner is quite hard to use efficiently. Third character was Cold Eye and he had maxed sniper rifle skill, you need at least one of those, maybe two, but no more. Also safe cracking maxed as it's very useful for plethora of cases throughout the game, very essential skill to have. Also almost weapons smithing skill for him as adding mods to various crew weapons increase stats quite a bit and is very useful to have. Note that skill tree doesn't have to be maxed, especially in the early game. You'll see quite early on what mods need what skill level to install. He also had good mechanical repair skill as if ie. pick lock and have critical fail, he can try to repair it for second try. Also many missions in story require good repair skills too. Then just one points for surgeon and field medic. It's critical to have other person with very basic healing and surgeon skills as your medic will for sure go down few times no matter what you do and she will die instantly if no one else has those basic skills, very easy to dismiss and have problems in the game. Then my "main" character had blunt weapons and heavy weapons skills almost maxed, this person needs as much as possible strength coordination and awareness, also some speed if possible. Blunt weapons will stay very useful attack skill through out the game as it'll work against normal living targets and robots. Imo much better than bladed weapons skill. Now next comes characters that you can encounter in the game and get into your squad. These will change quite a bit depending on your choices in the game so I won't spoil, but I'll tell their skills so you'll see how stats where on the rest of the squad. So three characters more. 1. Outdoors skill maxed. Not needed and would be actually good to go for all encounters, but with this you can skip many of them. Though it gives one good thing which is you'll notice hidden caches in big map that can be quite useful. Sniper skill maxed, perception maxed now this is very useful and almost mandatory to have one character as he/she will notice alarms, mines and various other things. So have this character go in first and rest follow him, trust me on this. Also had smg skills and few points on leadership, but that should've been put more on persons that stay more in vicinity of squad as leadership has range where affects and sniper obviously stays far from the main battle, this was mistake/wasted skill on sniper to have. Then the 2. Character. Shotgunner maxed and lockpicking maxed which is also almost mandatory skill to max out on one character. Also some assault rifle skills to counter that short range of shotguns. Now 3. And the last character. He had also blunt weapons maxed out, also some assault rifle skills and hard ass and brute force skills. Note that all three speaking skills are useful to have in squad as one with good brute force skills. This brute force guy had maxed out strength and good coordination attributes and ended up being very good in quite many combat situations. There is possibility to find "combat shooting" skill book late game (note ie this requires to have maxed out perception on one squad member). It's one time skill that will increase critical hit possibility to 99%. I counter intuitively gave this skill to this monster brute with blunt weapon skills and he became absolute killing machine one hitting many strong characters to pieces in quite late game. Minor hint that you won't even have possibility to find this book until quite late game. Very short version. Early on have medic (remember few points on some other character as medic backup!), sniper and brute force guy. Also focus on those three speaking skills and never try to have them on one person, but they preferably should be on those four starting characters. Have one with good perception. Energy weapons are almost mandatory late game, but useless in the beginning. Have at least one good sniper. Do not focus on heavy weapons early on. They will chew up your ammo stocks really fast and make note of what weapons use what ammo types. On my first play through I ended up having squad that used much one ammo type and ended up in few tight spots. Now the last and one of the most critical things. You can found skill books as mentioned through out the game. Do NOT use them early on. Use them late when you already have specific skill almost maxed out. This will enable you to preserve those skill points by large amounts and you can have much more skills than you can anticipate. Also another important hint. You'll find tons of "trinkets" that you can wear my any character. These will modify stats quite a bit. So many skills aren't useful to max out by leveling, but by wearing trinket that can give you ie. +1 stats. Pay much attention to these. Ie. I never maxed out Hex's computer science to level 10. He wore trinket that maxed out to level 10 and read a skill book quite near was it level 7 to increase it free. Always remember that those last few skill points are very, very expensive so-to-say and there can be these couple ways to ease up. Happy gaming. Hope this helps 🙂

@@jaredponder4149 Also I highly suggest to check out those attributes work. Imo they can be checked out from wiki's etc. without ruining the game and should be more precisely mentioned in game. They affect characters a lot. That's maybe the most critical I neglected on my first playthrough.

3 is much better than two from a purely quality of life perspective. I couldn’t get into 2, played and loved 3, then went back and beat them both sequentially. I was happy I did it cuz 2 is still fun, and I like the story, but three is just much more pleasant to play.

@@johnmanke315 it so interesting, looking into the comment I seem to notice that people just prefer whichever of the two they finished first. I played wasteland 2 first and 3 felt too cartoony for me.

@@lipayy9852 Fair enough! I think the big thing for me was that 2 had too many skills. But hey, I am into both, and if (when) i play them again, I'll do them both in a row.

Is this a major problem throughout the game and you first said you couldn't min max the recruitable characters, but then said you min maxed your party and breezed. This is contradictory isn't it? So confused

@@jaredponder4149 No, I restarted the game with a new party. So I made every character from the ground up and could thus min-max them.

Watching gameplay and listening to this review made me think of Divinity 2 as well!

The stats system can use some simplifications or oddities, like Int 3 is useless (need 4 or nothing), Charisma has an odd design that pretty much only affects the range of the Leadership bonus. Then 3 dialogue skills! (I spread them on 3 characters) So can't wait to play WL3...

NB : managing encumbrance became tedious though. I had to micro-manage ammo amounts.

I dropped 2 for basically the same reason, but Wasteland 3 is awesome and I love it , give it a try

I like wasteland 2 directors cut a little bit better just because I don't know if it was something up with just my system or what but my copy of wasteland 3 even after updates was just buggy as all hell. I end up having to reload a save on almost every major quest of the game because something would bug out and it wouldn't be able to turn it in or something along those lines. I've tried many many times to get the November rains ending and every time a glitch comes across that causes me not to be able to do it. When it's running without glitches it's great and I love it. I just have as of yet had a clean run of the game, or at least not had a run that didn't have a glitch that Seriously broke the game.

It was absolutely in the original release. You had to encounter some bug.

Maybe, think I left it like right at the end lol
