Kickstarter Drive Update #11

[Brother None]

Do you think the game will be balanced around 4, or 7 party members?

Don't know. But logically, you would think it can be finished with 4 just fine. People die in Wasteland, so having a full party constantly isn't that much of a given.

You will create 4 rangers to start. You're not obligated to play the game with 4, if the other 3 die or are split off, you can play as one guy, but you will have a hard time making it, since the game is not balanced for solo play. This isn't a Fallout sequel, it's a Wasteland sequel.

If it's going to stay true to the original, then you won't be able to finish with fewer than 4. Thankfully, with clonetech losing too many party members wouldn't be a game-ending event.

Response from inXile re: multiple copies (BN, you might want to put this somewhere prominent?)

One of the $150 tiers comes with 3 copies. If they choose the poster pack, they will get a collectors edition, a regular boxed copy and a digital copy.

Ok. Thank you for the information krellen. Hmmh, then we need to decide would we want the t-shirt or not pretty mutch. But itäs good to be clear on this thing. ^^

Wouldn't it make more sense marketingwise to make the t-shirt available at a lower or the lowest tier?

More people wear the t-shirt => more free advertising => more people are aware of wasteland 2 on release date.. etc.

^^Good point!^^

Custom T-shirts, especially done in batches of dozens or hundreds instead of thousands, are surprisingly expensive.

What does that mean for the $250 tier now? Man, is this confusing! I just sent a message to them via KS, as well.

I already thought of that and am awaiting response to the follow-up.

This is just adding to the confusion. As discussed in another thread, I sent them a detailed list and suggested they use it to present a clear overview for users for all tiers. That's a more viable solution.

At reward levels higher than $150, when it comes to the previous rewards, you will be able to pick one of the $150 rewards. So you will get your choice of the T-shirt package or the poster package for the $150 reward.

All I can say is they must be damn expensive T-Shirts. I personally have no choice but to take the poster package because I have no intention of opening my signed collectors edition.

I also find it hard to believe that highest tiers still have to pick one or other.

Maybe for the shirts & posters, but I still don't know how many and what type of physical game boxes are included with the $250 tier.

[Ronin73]

From what I can see the poster package has the coin, the box copy, and of course the poster. The T-Shirt package as it stands now is just the T-Shirt and the if I understand correctly everyone at the $250 and up pledge can pick one or the other, but not both

So basically if you pick the T-Shirt package the only physical copy included is the signed collectors edition, but you do get 2 digital downloads.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how anyone getting a signed edition would want to open it, so I don't really see any appeal for the T-Shirt package as things stand right now.

I suppose you could just use a digital copy but I'd still like to read the manual that the extra boxed copy would offer.

Is there anyway this video can be posted to a non-youtube site? I still haven't been able to watch it as I live in China. (Sometimes these commies I swear) Anyway yeah if someone would be so kind as to post it to another video site I would love to be able to watch it. Or hey if it's possible post it on here and I will just DL it.

[DandyA]

Man, after seeing the last update video, I'm more jazzed than ever!

Come to think of it, having only two map scales is absolutely perfect; Fallout had that, and it worked like freakin' charm! Yeah, the 3x battle map thing would get kind of messy. Leave that stuff to tabletop where you just dry marker the thing into existence at the drop of a hat and get rid of it just as quick.

One gets the impression that the game will look super-sharp, but that you guys won't waste time with all kinds of superfluous SFX. And that's exactly the way it should be! I''ll take detailed combat and developing Sniper Tom's heart of gold through complex decision trees over detailed ass tattoos any day!

Well, I don't really have anything constructive to add. Now to sit back and wait for Fargo and co. to deliver the greatest CRPG ever made!

You can actually do it with 2 people. One of the computers in the electronics room (SE) will open the corner rooms, so you could have one person at the computer and one person running from room to room to do the sequence. It's a pain in the neck, requires Electronics, and the rest of Cochise would be a nightmare with only two people, but it could technically be done.

Which means, if you really, really wanted to, you could do the entire game with only one character, pick up Vax, and call it good. I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, I recently went through with only one PC and a bunch of NPCs, and it was a pain in the ass.
