What's the going opinion on this one? The wife is doing her annual girls trip this weekend and I'm looking for something I can dive into. I was a big fan of the original Wasteland.Played Wasteland 2 through the first 2 story missions, then restarted with what I learned. My thoughts so far on the game:
1. If you like Fallout 1/2/Tactics, this is a must have. Very similar game play. (party, turn based combat, mix of voice acting and written conversation)
2. Good voice acting and a slightly different approach on story immersion than you see typically.
3. Some nice graphic elements (not a graphics game), especially around combat.
4. Broken character development and attributes. Too many attributes (luck, charisma) that are pretty much useless while others are necessities in a combat heavy game. Similarly with skills, Some skills are pretty much useless.
5. Don't understand the point of the "junk" gear. Lots of variety here on useless stuff. I'd rather have more variety with the gear you actually use.
6. Dialogue isn't so much a dialogue tree as a dialogue telephone pole.
Overall I like the game because I like the combat system (turn based) and setting (post apocalyptic), however, it doesn't feel like this game was quite ready for release. As I said if you are a Fallout 1,2 or Tactics fan, it's worth picking up at a cheaper price point.
Mordor looks a little too twitchy for me.
