Vythonaut: Backed both of them and currently playing DOS. Wonderful game, great combat, very good writing, nice colorful graphics (but demanding on hardware if you want to play it with all settings maxed and get good framerate - if not, there are a lot of settings to tweak so you can enjoy it with an older system) and beautiful soundtrack.

As for W2, I haven't installed it yet. A friend of mine, also backer of W2 and long time fan of fallout 1 & 2, was not overly impressed in the beginning but after 15 hours in, he said that the writing is actually good, the character have some depth and the combat saves the game. He seems to enjoy it now but he states that it cannot be compared to fallout. It doesn't seem to have that "magic".

If I were in your shoes right now, I would choose DOS first and leave W2 for later, after the first patches arrive. My 2c. ;-)

alfoulkes: No offence meant but this was to be a Wasteland sequel and not a fallout one. This was a perfect retake on that classic game.

The game starts a little slow but builds up later. I didn't have any earth shattering bugs with it either and I've played it since the beginning.

gbaz69: Good luck making a decision on this, I'm deciding which to get myself.

gbaz69: It can never be both huh? Perhaps the devs should get together and have a game baby together.

Ml33tninja: I wanted both as both a fan of their series and the gameplay. I am looking for experience form the community. Which would you say I should buy first. I say first because I will be getting the next one ASAP.

Navagon: The only problem I have with Wasteland 2 is the large random element, which encourages (if not requires) save scumming.

Cyraxpt: I was going to make a thread but i'll highjack this one.

Quick question, D:OS, is it better to play single or coop? My friend bought that game and now is bothering me to play coop but i have this feeling this is one of those games better experienced alone, especially when the combat is turn based.
