Is your body ready to waste away in front of your computer?

Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition, inXile's epic post-apocalyptic RPG is here! The masterfully crafted continuation to the 1988s original post-apocalyptic RPG, is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux on GOG.com, for $59.99*.

Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition, 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. Now, the legend is back, resurrected by the power of thousands of gamers' combined will to visit the grim and dangerous, yet strangely mesmerizing future once again. Today, we celebrate nonlinearity, mature storytelling, and other best traditions of computer RPG design. Brian Fargo and his inXile team opens the doors to the post-apocalyptic future: let's challenge its many dangers, together!

On GOG.com Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition comes complete with a free copy of Wasteland - The Original Classic and inXile's cult fantasy RPG, The Bard's Tale. *$59.99 is the regular price for this title in the US. Other prices will apply in different countries. If you end up paying more than than the US price, we will reimburse the difference from our own pocket, giving it back to you in store credit (this is what we call the "Fair Price Package"). If you only want to dip your feet before taking the plunge, there's a Wasteland 2 Digital Classic Edition available (US price: $39.99), and it can be upgraded to Deluxe Edition later.

But the language of the GOG version (the Italian specifically), are updated frequently as on Steam?

skinandbones13: Once again, the reviews for this on GOG make me go hmmmmmm. Are the complaints legit or is it more overblown BS? Like the person who has posted a review just to claim that they can't actaully download a 12gb file?

Matruchus: There are several people that had problems downloading this game on gog on release day - especially since the download for some people through gog downloader did not work and they had to download directly. And some people have bad internet connection which meens that the downloader is a must if they don't wan't to get corrupted files.
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I just wish people would stick to posting it on the forum or contacting GOG for glitches like that rather than just giving the game an automatic one star review.

The name is spelled just fine. You're just seeing that way because your Oculus Rift has had crazy alien sex with your eye balls.
All this talk of backer copies reminded me I should grab my own. I'll probably upgrade the classic edition to the deluxe some time later I don't want to pay more than $15 for that so I'll wait for a sale. Not that I didn't get out cheaply back Kickstarter backing but the less money until next pay.

Hmm as for the download issues hopefully things are settling down now that everyone has got in ahead of me. I'll probably download over night and see how that goes, firefox is ok on resuming if you catch a failure early enough to continue.

Sadly I can't download just yet, 11.30PM I have to remote into work to do some work (long day) so need all my bandwidth (I'm in Australia after all, the great southern land, of piss poor internet bandwidth).

Reever: Okay, thanks!

And guys, what's your supreme build? My current team is a custom made char (pistols, leader, toaster repair :D, lockpicking), Pills, Bert and the Sniper Dude. Also let Angela and the Doc join my crew, but I bet they'll leave your crew after the mission's done (like someone said already, at least about the Doc).

I noticed safe-cracking would have come in handy quite a lot. Is a non-combatant with only such skills even feasible?
Angela only leaves when you're nearly done with Arizona, and Rose doesn't leave at all unless you do something to piss her off. There are reasons why she stays after you're done with the Ag Center, which are explained in the diary on the desk in her lab, and even further in her secret diary (you need 4+ perception to find that one though).

I don't think there is anything supreme about my current team tbh. I only realized how much I relied on Angie in combat when she left, I've really struggled with the Diamondback militia in the canyon and now the robots, while fights were pretty easy until then.
The difference in difficulty is pretty huge, I wish they'd give you an easily recruitable companion (hopefully one decent in a fight) in the Canyon to replace Angela.


As for safe cracking, it's true that here are a lot of safes in some places, but keep in mind that about half of them (all those with electronic locks) are opened with computer science, not safecracking.

It's possible to have a character mostly focused on non-combat skills (like Rose or my current main who has 8 int and 8 c ha), but you can be decent in combat with fairly low stats and a medium investment in sniper or assault rifles, so there's no real reason to take no combat skills at all.
Anyone knows if I can redeem wasteland 2 as a part of Pillars of eternity kickstarter support package here?

In theory, yes, but Obsidian/inXile/GOG have yet to provide us with the keys. I asked on the Obs boards last Friday for some info on it and got "We're working on it" from Obs. One of the inXile guys answered that they're waiting for GOG to give them the keys so they can hand them on to Obsidian to give to us backers. Sounds like a lot of buck-passing to me. In the meantime we're stuck sitting here twiddling our thumbs and not playing Wasteland 2.

JohnnyDollar: I imagine some are thinking that it's solid already.

Novotnus: After spending a night with it I must say it is really solid. Sure, it's less chatty-chatty and more fighty-fighty than I'd like it to be but I guess it's just being true to the original game. Locations, characters and plot are fine and that's what really matters for me.
Only one (pretty frustraging) bug so far.
You still progressing through it? How's it been going, still good? I read a couple of statements from folks that think it has gotten better further along.

mystral: ....
Okay, good to know, thank you!

I'm still in Arizona and it's still great fun. Found a location where my diplomatic character \ leader found some use; recruited some more people, completed a lot of quests, screwed up one quest (misplaced \ sold \ lost quest item taking it for a joke item), had a tough battle !SPOILER, SPOILER! over some pigs (seriously!) !END OF SPOILER!.
So far Wasteland 2 places itself among my personal list of Top Releases of 2014.

I posted that and I did eventually manage to get it to download after nearly 2 days of trying. Thankfully the file doesn't seem to have been corrupted during the process.

I saw that a lot of assholes chose to downvote the review, but it's a valid criticism of the game that people ought to know about before they buy it. I was not expecting to be left with a single file and no ability to use the GOG downloader to get it.

The game itself is fairly good so far, as long as you're OK with the graphics and your connection can handle the download. But, it can be rage inducing if something causes the download to be corrupted and you have to find a download manager that's able to handle it. Free Download Manager didn't get the job done for me.

All in all I downloaded roughly 30 gigs in order to get a copy that worked. Or, I think so, at a certain point I lost track of how many times I had downloaded the same file to get it to complete.

EDIT: Also, what's so far fetched about a 12gb file being incredibly hard to download. Does everybody really have connections that are that much better than mine?

I can't speak for anyone else, but seeing you mention this several times, I decided to take the challenge and see whether I could pull it off. It took me 2 hours and 17 minutes, no problems at all. It slowed down for a few seconds several times but never stopped.
