A solid Classic RPG experience
Wasteland 2 is a solid experience that will not wow you. It is what you'd expect from a 90s WRPG but modernized. It employs a stat and combat system similar to the original Fallouts but better. Instead of controlling one character, you control many, making it a better character building experience. In Fallout the best way to build characters was to give them high INT, but since this game has a squad you control its better to specialize some characters as low INT and invest in other useful stats instead. The game is divided into two halves each with their own factions. Each faction tends to represent extremes in human nature which you are tasked with bringing them together or helping one overthrow the other. Hedonism vs. Religious violence, etc. These dualistic factions don't come until the second half of the game and they feel better thought out than the first half. Save often as this game still has some glitches years later that can cause crashes. Its dialogue and characters are okay. Part of the problem with the game is everyone you interact with is all on official business and you don't get to know a core cast of characters personally or make a deep relationship with those you meet on the way. The characters that do exist are interesting despite the surface level relationship you have with them. Here's quick build guide since this is the type of game with a slow start and will make you want to restart with better stat spread: Combat Initiative, AP, combat speed, and skill points are most important stats you will get out of your stats. Combat initiative determines how many turns you get. AP determines how much you can do in a turn. Combat speed lets you move more for less AP. Skill points gets you more skill points per level. Setting INT at 1,4,8, or 10 in the beginning is the best idea. Awareness gets you combat initiative every level so it's good to invest in this with points gained from levels. Speed is a great stat to invest in heavily at start.
