Finished Wasteland 3. Overall it was a nice experience, if a little bit short. The story was not bad, at least not typical "fight against arch villain" or something like that. Groups in the game were too over-the-edge for me, in comparison with the original Fallouts (1 and 2). My biggest gripes are:
- Companions are... bland. They have their agenda (in theory), but it almost never comes into play. I would like to have some unique quest for them
- some of the combat-companions you can get (you can basically have some extra companions, like animals, which are computer-controlled and aid you in the combat) are so unbelievable, that the game would be better without those.
- Combat itself is very unbalanced, even more than in Wasteland 2. Sniper rifles + explosives will take care of everything. Small arms are useless. Heavy weapons are weak.
- Perks looks like they were added in a hurry.
- Vehicle upgrades, beside weapons, are pointless. You can see that this part of the game was pushed and never really thought out.
- Like in Wasteland 2, some areas are artificially locked behind equipment upgrades, which will become available only when you progress with the story
Still happy that I've backed the game and if you enjoyed Wasteland 2, Fallout 1 and 2 or Fallout: Tactics, you will like it.
