If you need your hand held, playing a game, don't bother with this one !

GB: While a lot of us have fond memories of the CRPGs of yesteryear, there have certainly been some modern sensibilities added to video games over the years that have improved upon the experience in measurable ways. They're certainly not all welcome additions, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on whether you think mechanics like regenerating health, autosaves, a detailed quest journal, fast travel, automapping with quest objective annotations, etc. have a place in Wasteland 2.

Brian: My tendency with this game is going to be closer to the experiences we all loved during the golden age of RPGs. Part of the reason we have the excitement we do is there is this general feeling that the games have been dumbed down for the masses. Politically correct situations, linear events, being careful no one gets lost etc...it can be kind of lame. We will put the game into beta test and if a huge majority about the lack of a feature we need to consider it but in general let's recreate the wonder with modern graphics and sound.

I'm hoping it will be 3D isometric...sure 2D topdown is retro but the only reason for topdown angled games was that isometric perspective in the industry back then was not mature yet, also with 3D instead of 2D they could offer much higher flexibility towards modding scene.

 

The game "Will" be top down isometric with the latest graphics options available !

Great news for true rpg enthusiast !

 

I supported this kickstarter. Good thing Obsidian isn't responsible for coding...

Let's hope that they don't throw all modern day gaming conventions out the window. I believe that the state of gaming has generally improved for the better since Wasteland came out.

Dumbing it down as he calls it isn't necessarily a bad thing if you approach it right. I mean, The Artist was very good and deserved its awards but that doesn't mean that I generally enjoy black and white silent movies. I'd like to see 2012 UI and UX conventions for instance.

 

Agree about Obsidian !

I'm sure there are some new wave ideas that will be used in Wasteland 2, however, quest markers should suffice to get you near your object vs. "Homing Arrows" that point you directly to said object. Part of old school I guess , where you actually have to explore, in order to advance the game.

Also prefer turn-based combat vs. "Clickfest" !

And one other thing.....advanced dialogue vs. "Rumors?"

 

Wow, good to see this coming up

OP: + rep because you deserve it

 

Nice post, I remember the first game when I was in college and a squeal would be nice.
