First two Wasteland games had their share of jokes and comedic relief but this time InExile completely failed to balance it so we have game with real identity crisis. On one hand they tried to create serious, gritty world full of violence and children mass graves. And then they mixed it with "bandits" dressed as clowns going "honk honk" and two of most "why the hell would anyone even consider joining those people" factions I've ever seen lately in video game - The Gippers and Godfishers. First one believe Ronald Reagan to be a god and second one make kites out of people corpses "just because". Level of writing and quality of dialogues was so amazingly low that it made me completely not care for anyone in Colorado because those people are obviously way too stupid to survive so it made it easy for me to just follow my orders and help dude who was obviously full of shit from the second you met him. But hey, this whole place seems like theme park so why would I even care. Fortunately InExile did something most developers don't like to do in games - they gave you full control of choices you make so you are never forced to help anyone. It takes a lot of balls to do that because most devs really like to force you to their prefered story arch. Even tho writing and story is absolute crap, good news is that gameplay is fine. Combat is fun, and upgrading your Rangers and their equipment will provide fun for most of 30 or so hours it takes to finish this game. One way to summarize this game would probably be to say that it's, like it's predecessor, Fallout Tactics done right. Unfortunately this time done a bit worse than in Wasteland 2.
