rocketrobot posted:Are there any redeeming features to the new DLC 1) From a story/lore perspective, there's a potential alternative power source for Colorado Springs instead of the Gipper's oil--which is really interesting and I wonder how that ties into siding with the Machine Commune and earning the November Reigns ending--but the crappy new combat mechanics makes it so I can't actually progress in the DLC to experience the narrative. 2) The new location and areas are really pretty to look at and much more interesting than Steeltown. Other than that, there's nothing here. The new gear is nothing special, the new enemies are essentially just variations of already existing enemies, they reuse old songs for major encounters, and what should've just been a short scenario has been padded out with tedious, time-sucking combat. I haven't looked into new crafting recipes or seen if there's any high end gear that pops up but initial offerings are nothing to write home about.

It's extremely subjective, but I feel like Wasteland 3 does a better job than most Fallouts of giving you something fun or good for everything that you'd invest in. Some standouts, speaking personally:

You want to specialize each Ranger and synergize their skills and gear as much as possible. You can have 2 of the same weapon type in a squad but beyond that and you'll start running into ammo shortages pretty consistently. I recommend maxing Coordination on everybody ASAP to get that AP. Beyond that, unless you're playing on Supreme Jerk, the game is pretty laid back and you needn't sweat it too much. Take advantage of consumables and deployabals as much as you can, they make all the difference. e: Some more: Leadership is really nice, you can buff your rangers with more AP and damage enemy accuracy with abilities. Pistols are beastly if you get a Ranger with a lot of AP. I can consistently squeeze off four attacks per turn and with my high luck sometimes I'll get streaks of 7+ attacks. Try to get your Penetration up on all your Rangers, it lets you punch through enemy armor which will scale up pretty quickly.

protip for pistols: build enough Strike Rate (through charisma, talents, Lucia's passive etc) to get to the break-even points of 20, 25, 34 where you'll get a special attack every 5/4/3 shots Shotguns have a better special than pistols. So pistol to charge a special attack, swap to shotgun for a big cone AoE. I did a post a while back with more details if you hit the ? under my avatar

Assault rifles are more viable late game, didn't realize they were bad late game, because they buffed them in a patch recently.

tbh I haven't kept up much in the last two months or so The advantage to assault rifles is range + penetration over SMGs. I'd have to look at the patch notes but previously you can just slap range and energy damage mods on an SMG and it does way more damage per AP than assault rifles

I haven't played since they buffed ARs but for a while it seemed like you used ARs early early game because they started stronger, then moved into SMGs by the time your skill level 4 or 5 because the SMGs would just outpace them any day of the week. However, the crossbows also counts as ARs and the Meat Maker is a fun gun that helped carry me through most of the game. Slap that on Kwon and things will mostly work out.

I got into this recently and I've been having a lot of fun. I'm about to sidewith the Monster Army against Charley, I think. Got a radio call from Angela Deth that the Patriarch is a tyrant (which is super obvious) so I'm guessing I'll have to side with her or the Patriarch near the end of the game and she is a character from the previous two games with a cool dumb name...

My team aren't exactly smart either XD. I've been winging it so far and I guess I'll wing it when I to it. I'll finish Wasteland 2 one of these days. Got it on my switch, just finished the first choice between the AG Center and the town (I went to the AG Center and recruited Rose).

I think my favourite part of Wastlenad 3 is how smooth the gameplay is. I'd love to see a Wasteland 4 or any other game in the same engine.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:Saw the Expansion Pass is on sale and I'm thinking of picking it up. How is the first one? Is the second one likely to be fixed/modded? Steeltown is pretty good all things considered and worth picking up. The second might get patched yet, Inxile has said one more patch is forthcoming so it remains to be seen whether they take any feedback into account regarding Holy Detonation. That said I'm not completely ready to write it off yet until I see what the patch contains. They have patched Steeltown in the past so it's not outside the realm of possibility they patch HD too.

And when they patched Steeltown they made a lot of things much less difficult and/or stupid, so if they hear the complaints about the apparently infinite enemy spawners, that may get toned down considerably. My answer for the spawners in the Steeltown boss fight was to have a melee and a brawler just run up with their bullshit good speed and disable them round 1 while the rest of the squad took out anything in the way or that could be a threat. It sounds like the sheer density of them in Holy Detonation makes that less reasonable a tactic. I'm also curious how much the Cult of Holy Detonation differs from the M.A.D. Monks, but I'm probably going to wait on the patch.

One area in particular has four enemy spawners spitting them out every turn, plus another mini-boss enemy that spawns multiple enemies every turn all in addition to the ridiculously high number of enemies to begin with. Its not like you're starting out facing off against 2 or 3 and its ramps up, no, you're facing off 15 to begin with and they begin flooding in almost immediately. This isn't the final fight in the DLC, it's literally the first combat area in the first quest I was given.

Is it normal for the Dorseys at the homestead to absolutely tear you a new rear end in a top hat when you fight them really early on in the game? Either my tactics suck or they're a REALLY tough fight for a bunch of Level 3 characters.

Wasteland 1 also had the church of the mushroom cloud, seems that every wasteland game has had some freaks obsessed with nuclear detonation I guess it makes sense that a cataclysm that remade the world would have multiple psychotic religious traditions spring forth from it though

Are those little round on-foot icons area transitions between different maps within the same overworld location? And I should have followed one? I was wondering why I was facing what seemed essentially like a mini boss battle before even getting my first perk.

You should have went into Colorado Springs first to do a bunch of quests and get another party member. You probably didn't go to the shops either which might explain why your weapons and armor are bad. If I were you I would load an earlier save. Or keep this save, ignore those quests (its a timed mission and you can fail both of them), and keep on trucking since that is something the game lets you do. This game gives you more options than you realize, That's especially true when you meet Victory. Victory sure is a character.

Managed to beat them anyway without a total party wipe thanks to going around the side and demoralising them and am now killing bears in the other location. I'll go to town after that and probably be able to buy out half the shop. :-)

What the hell, I wanted to arrest Valor but the game just skipped to combat again!? Guess I have to kill him now. Edit: Apparently my latest quick save did not actually save so I quick loaded just before the Nancy fight anyway. I guess Valor is saved.

Just chiming in to point out that Wasteland 2/3 kind of need a character with a high movement range, first aid ability, and leadership (that's just one character for all 3). After that, go nuts. Building a character who can use rockets is the best thing because a game like this really deserves to be decided by a a climatic nuclear strike
