Unfortunately, this is largely an uninformed choice unless you choose to spoil yourself. This is largely fine as there is little reason to invest in multiple weapon types, but it is impossible to get all of this last category of skills to a reasonable level leaving you with a choice of which to prioritize. The last part serves as a means of gatekeeping, ensuring that in order to get access to as much of the content as possible you need to have characters who do more than just invest in weapon perks. It determines what perks you have access to, what gear you can modify, and what gear you can use, and what skill checks you can pass. While the skill system provides bonuses to stats similar to attributes, it’s primary purpose is gatekeeping. Most characters will end up with several maxed out attributes with almost no investment in others.

All stats have secondary bonuses that give smaller bonuses that make them worth considering, but these bonuses are generally not worth investing in. Some, like Coordination, give Action Points which are generally useful for most builds while others, like Awareness, are more narrow, improving stats for a subset of characters. You primarily decide which ones to raise in order to help facilitate a specific build.

Perk access is determined by your skill levels, though each character gets a set of generic that you can pick from to add additional options and ensure that each character has access to a baseline set.Īttributes impact combat stats and essentially serve no other purpose. Every level you gain one attribute point and three skill points, with a special ability, called a perk, provided every few levels. The level system should also be familiar. You repeat this as you explore the world of Wasteland 3, gaining levels and improved gear until you reach the inevitable end of the overall storyline and are forced to make a decision that helps determine the future of Colorado. This can also open up new quests and even impact the game’s ending. Speaking to characters gives you access to quests related to their individual or factional needs, once you complete their specific quest then you get rewards, in some combination of money or gear as well as some faction reputation that can influence how willing the faction is to help you. You interact with characters, with specific character skill unlocking additional dialogue options. If you have played most of any recent CRPG, the structure of this one should be familiar. This involves the usual CRPG questing and exploring all in service of resolving the central plot of the game. In order to avoid starvation, they are forced to take an offer from a ruler of a neighboring state, the Patriarch of Colorado, resolving his internal problems in exchange for aid to their home region.

It is a tactical turn-based computer role-playing game (CRPG) that takes place after the events of Wasteland 2, with the Rangers in dire straits following the events at the end of the previous game. Wasteland 3, by InXile Entertainment is the sequel to 2014’s Wasteland 2.
