I'm playing co-op Wasteland 3 with a friend and enjoying it, so I decided to buy Wasteland 2 for my solo play. Graphics are ugly even by 2014 standards, but not a big deal. The story continues from Wasteland 1, it seems. Whatever. We're a rookie team on a mission. Good, let's go! I created my own squad. I thought I did an okay job, apparently not. I tried to distribute attributes for personality. Like, I tried to create a dumb, strong heavy guy named Big Russian. I don't know how a Russian guy could be in the American desert, but whatever, it's corny. HMG is useless. I'm out of ammo at AG Center, and I don't know what to do with him. Low intelligence is hurting my skill points, and extra strength and coordination aren't that helpful. I created a science-leader girl with handguns. Thought she'd be alright in the early game with a low-damage but low AP-cost pistol. Nope, her bullets were like mosquito bites. And later, you can recruit a companion with exactly her skills. Well, that suc...

A very nice Xcom-like game. Amazing graphics for how old it is (after character creation). Didn't feel the need to even try to play Wasteland 1; so far story makes perfect sense without it.

The audio driver prevents any audio from playing on my computer. Do not spend time in the character creation menus until you test the sound. I spent more than two hours customizing a party, just to realize that the game has no sound. When I exited the game, I still had no sound. I uninstalled the driver and the game reinstalled it. I had to uninstall the game to prevent it from keeping my computer on mute, and Steam won't offer a refund for a broken product. Set up a default party ASAP and start the game to see if the driver breaks your computer before you get into the tantalizing character customization.
