I really liked Fallout 1 and 2, but Wasteland 2 feels lifeless to me. Also I feel like the radiation walls and the water mechanic is just a bandaid for extremely poor world map design but maybe I'm wrong. And it's cool when RPGs have lots of useful skills but Wasteland 2 has like, too many.

The skill system in Wasteland 2 is insane and poop. It takes multiple skills checks, generally from multiple party members to open a single crate.

Wasteland 2 is really bad. Play Fallout 2, which is what I'm doing again.

For the love of GOD don't play Wasteland 2. I can only hope I got here in time before the OP committed a tragic mistake. However Fallout 1 is pretty good and if you want another good RPG check out Age of Decadence which is a hell of a game.

Pillars of Eternity is really good but it just makes me want to play Baldur's Gate instead lol. I should really play through PoE.

poe is half off this weekend. I was thinking about getting it, but I think I might wait until the expansion is on sale too. play through the 'full thing', probably in a few years.

If you want to play a modern crpg from the kickstarted ones, play Shadowrun: Dragonfall instead.

What about the original one.. UM, not the old one. The one that came before Dragonfall.

IIRC the good ones are Hong Kong and Dragonfall, the crap one is Chronicles, and the OK one is Returns (the "original").

I kind of have to stick with the tactical combat ones because my brain isn't wired to play RT+P games (or RTS games.) Controlling my party in like, BG2 feels like controlling the guy in QWOP to me.

Apparently I should try ToEE but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Someday. Maybe even a simulplay.

The original is fun and cool but not nearly as cool as Dragonfall. I still liked it though.
