Let's Play: Wasteland 2 - Solo

[sser]

Solo = creating just one character and using recruited allies. After a little while this will essentially be a blind Let's Play.

I'm seven episodes in and will try and update daily if I can. I've apparently made some huge mistakes in where I've gone on account of not paying attention to the dialogue. If you wanna see me fight enemies way above my level with a rag-tag band of wastelanders, you've come to the right place.



One thing, I'm not super-used to talking into a mic and playing at the same time, so bear with me. I also have to train my voice. IMO, I get better as I go along, though I do have an episode or two where I sound a big taxed as I lost a lot of footage and essentially had to replay the sections. I talk about various things as well, not just the game, as there's some room to get off-topic. Also make observations about Wasteland 2's gameplay, good and bad, and also just curiosities like how the gameplay kinda fundamentally changes when your party lacks lots of skills. My primary goal is to just finish the Arizona area, though I might try and do California if I can. This is Ranger difficulty.

Video LP? Not interested.

Just like me.
Pics with text ftw.

Hey, practice makes soft-spoken perfect. I actually think I've become a better, more cognizant speaker by doing videos like this.

Part two. I take on the Wreckers at Highpool. The first example of mistakes being made, notably that I'm missing someone in my party, but whatever.

Good going, even if having companions isn't technically "solo". (Yeah I heard what you said in the first video about the game being strictly speaking unsoloable.)

Yeah, when I searched around to see if anyone was doing anything solo it boiled down to: well, you could cheat and make a super-character and technically solo, or you could make 1-character and play the game with no created party, only recruits.

I just went with the 'solo' title because "Solo, but not technically not really" wouldn't fit on my YouTube description/image.

2nd half of Highpool will be tomorrow, then Ag Center, then a case of going the wrong wayyy hits me, but I push through it anyway. I think that will be entertaining, because I take on challenges I'm not supposed to, with a crippled party I'm not supposed to have. The later episodes are just better in general.

Finishing Highpool.

I'm beginning to wonder if a smaller party actually ends up streamlining the game. A lack lootwhoring pretty much channels your forth at an expeditious pace.

Abandoned at 3rd page due to lack at interest.

You really should try picture LP cause we aint watching some youtube playa~

 

[sser]

Yeah it's not the most interesting, even when I cut it down to just action. Wasteland 2 also has an epically slow start so that doesn't help matters. I do end up fighting into the prison with a low level party for what it's worth.

Meh, I was enjoying it. Picture LP's get tedious.
