Wasteland Wasteland 3 Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[LJ40]

Wasteland 3's character creation is effectively the same as Wasteland 2's, discounting differences in the character system itself. You can create a fully custom character or go with premades. There are also companions you pick up along your journey, which are pre-defined characters who have their own story elements but are non-editable.

I hope W3's companions are non-editable the same way W2's were (non-editable unless your PC came with an obscure program called notepad).

Have they said anywhere, what those differences might be?

Toaster fornication.

"Not bad" news for Wasteland 3 - W3 will not be adopting Bard's Tale 4's awful system of forcing you to use premade characters before having a chance to create your own.

Nothing about the general game flow or party setup has changed since I made that post.

The main difference is we're planning for you to start out as a single character, before forming a full party out of created characters and companions.

You still have to go through a tutorial area where everyone except the person you create dies. Then you get to make three more.

 

[Lahey]

JUST LIKE XCOM!

 

[Squid]

Well, that's good. I can't imagine that being received well even slightly. It's a shit thing to force party members like that on you in a game like this and especially in a game where the last 2 releases let you make your Rangers.

Dumpster diving, now spend 20% more time finding randomized loot that is almost entirely worthless

Fargo was just promoting the game on the Co-Optional Podcast and focused on WL3's writing quality, singling out Ziets and MCA as the big name talent. I'm not sure if that means that MCA is actually actively working on the game in a noteworthy capacity, or if it's just one of those gazillion tiny things for which he's been namedropped in recent years. Was there ever anything concretely announced about his role in this?

It's not news that Chris Avellone is working on WL3: https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/865661864360816641

In what exact capacity, I don't believe we know.

 

[Xeon]

I hope they don't do a simple option again like in WL2's saving the village water or the vegetable lab.

The standing guy kinda looks like Musk.

Spoiler

 

[Lyre Mors]

Well, why don't we ask him? Hey, Chris Avellone, in what capacity have you been working on Wasteland 3, if you're able to give us any details on the matter?

 

[Deleted Member 22431]

Wasteland was silly, so it'd be outrageous if they changed the tone established in the first installment.

I thought this was just an excuse to make a Fallout spiritual sucessor by other name. If that wasn't the case, it should.

 

[Grotesque]

Why do I have this feeling that Wasteland 3 will look more like Wasteland 2 and not as advertised in the fig campaign?

 

[Kruno]

MCA is working on a single character for W3. It will be just like PoE!

 

[Falksi]

Looks good, just hope it's more interesting than 2 and has better combat too.

MCA is a back-of-the-box bullet point these days

This is why Dying Light 2 is the most exciting MCA project at the moment. He actually has a meaningful role in the game, and not just writing a character, or serving as an editor for a pre-written story.

I read somewhere that Fargo's turning Wasteland 3 into some sort of "co-op experiment" in preparation for an inXile MMO. Supposedly he said he wants to take D:OS's co-op component to "the next level", whatever that means.

 

[J_C]

preparation for an inXile MMO.

What? If that happens, inXile can already prepare for closure.

 

[aweigh]

It's old news though, way before BT4 launched, so Fargo's MMO dream is probably dead.

Reassuring the troops

The Classic InExile™ experience a game that runs like hot garbage filled with bugs. Delivering nothing that's promised. I can't wait to see that hotel with the Shining gag and the Reagan car.
