Holy. Shit. (Wasteland Followup) · 9:41pm Jan 5th, 2014
So, as a little update on my adventures into the wide world of Wasteland...fucking hell; they weren't kidding when they said the game was unforgiving. I've become a familiar acquaintance with the Grim Reaper, along with the tired phrase: "Your life has ended in the Wasteland."
At any rate, here are my first impressions:
1.) I honestly found this game to be fun, but it's also hard as fuck.
2.) The default four characters (the four listed in the image above) all suck majorly; thankfully you can just delete them and create four of your own right off the bat.
3.) It's a godsend that constitution points (hit points) regenerate with the passing of time.
1686437 You're correct; some of the characters and elements share some features with the future Fallout games (i.e. the Guardian Citadel being the inspiration for the Brotherhood of Steel). I think someone from Interplay even stated that Wasteland was their main inspiration for the first two Fallout games.
1687351 Yeah, it's available on Steam for like five or six US dollars. If you don't have Steam, I think you can find it as abandon-ware on Google, or something.
