Welcome back to the Citadel, Rangers! After 2.5 years in development and with the help of over 70,000 Kickstarter backers, the Wasteland's hellish landscape is now waiting for you to make your mark… or die trying.

Awarded Game of the Year by PCWorld, Wasteland 2 is the direct sequel to 1988’s Wasteland, the first-ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG and the inspiration behind the Fallout series. Until Wasteland, no other CRPG had ever allowed players to control and command individual party members for tactical purposes or given them the chance to make moral choices that would directly affect the world around them. Wasteland was a pioneer in multi-path problem solving, dripping in choice and consequence and eschewing the typical one-key-per-lock puzzle solving methods of its peers, in favor of putting the power into players’ hands to advance based on their own particular play style.

The Wasteland series impressive and innovative lineage has been preserved at its very core, but modernized for the fans of today with Wasteland 2. Immerse yourself in turn-based tactical combat that will test the very limits of your strategy skills as you fight to survive a desolate world where brute strength alone isn’t enough to save you. Deck out your Ranger squad with the most devastating weaponry this side of the fallout zone and get ready for maximum destruction with the RPG-style character advancement and customization that made the first Wasteland so brutal. Save an ally from certain death or let them perish – the choice is yours, but so are the consequences.

PoE is a classical RPG, which is not for everyone. Divinity is a Turn based RPG.
As for your question. WL2 is also turn based however the settings are entirely different and WL2 requires a lot of grinding.

I supported the kickstarter. Haven't played the game though.

It's like a better Fallout successor ?

Yes its a good successor for Fallout 1 & 2. This game is very good TBS but you gotta give it some time to grow on you, you won't really enjoy the game if you don't go deep in its mechanics because it have so much that you need time to see that.
I guess you already know that from Fallout 3, Fallout moved from TBS to TPS.

PoE is a great game indeed, but the learning curve is damn steep. I tried it as well, couldnt get past on early level monsters, but I was rushing in, so may be thats why.

If I get time some time later on, Im definitely gonna try that game again. Everyone says it gives a great rewarding feeling.

I tried POE extensively, went halfway through Act 2.. My main problem is the Game is just bland and distasteful, the characters you meet do not have any emotion whatsoever, i find the art style bleak and the combat is clunky.. 5-8 years ago, combat like that could have been considered "good", but now they need to implement certain basic things like a proper real time pause like in Dragon Age Origins and AOE spell autotargetting with indicators..

Original sin on the otherhand, had an amazing artstyle, nice snappy controls and the game felt really lively.. You go to the market place, you can see the different vendors call out stuff etc.. POE story is definitely deeper than Original Sin's, despite having a slow start..

The best thing i like about Larian games (Divine Divinity and Original Sin) is that they implement hidden secrets and stuff within towns, notice a strange switch in a house, voila ! a hidden passageway and a new quest.. Things like that, I have yet to encounter in POE

 

[kamikaz]

ah its in my wishlish , may be ill get it in the next big sale on steam

POE is a lot of grind i hear, as they say you have to decide on what your end game wants to be when you start , there is a major expansion coming in,
having never played it , i cant really comment , but from the videos and game play stuff i have seen it sticks to basic hack n slash genre mechanics and its just fine
most people had problems with desync as this is a game which you need to be online to play, but they seem to have fixed that in the upcoming expansion

anyone here plays grimdawn?, its a great ARPG imo, im definitely getting it , when it goes on some kind of sale !

Hmm, I didnt play PoE that far, so you will have better understanding of the game then .

Also, as you described D:OS, Im liking it, I like such games esp the ones which reward you for the time you spent on searching every corner of the room.

 

[gameranand]

Director's Cut for Wasteland 2 is coming soon which will improvise it and also better graphics.

 

[Nerevarine]

Yeah but if you want to try D:OS now, just wait for a couple of months for the Enhanced edition, im planning on doing a second playthrough when it launches

 

[Piyush]

Got it. Do notify me please somewhere here or on steam if possible

 

[Cyberghost]
