Got an email:

Seems they forgot to update the website: https://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/

They should save money and... not do the dialogue that way

Another big change this time around will be the addition of vehicles. Your ranger will use your vehicle for travel, storing essential goods, exploration, and survival. Gear up your vehicle well enough, and you’ll be able to use it for movable cover in combat, or – if you’ve installed a turret – deal with fools crazy enough to tangle with the Desert Rangers.

Meh.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

meh is right. I'm not touching it

 

[Yuri Gagarin]

I'm on the fence about backing this.

 

[Athelas]

I just watched the pitch and I have to admit I was wrong in making the assumptions about Fargo and InXile that I did.

They actually managed to write a character even more cringe-worthy and unfunny than The Kid from the WL2/T:TON/BT4 pitch videos.

a revamped, more fluid action system

2 AP system from nu-XCOM confirmed.

Maybe it's only for certain NPCs, like Fallout's talking heads.

Gameplay video looks like a mock-up.

Wasteland 2 was so shitty I'm not sure if I'm going to bother going to far with Torment (I might try the new Bard's Tale but that's mostly curiosity over if they get the combat right).

Definitely not backing this.

 

[MaskedMan]

No Wasteland 3 Gamer Shoes addon??

So, Pyke is doing artwork and Styg is doing game systems and mechanics for W3. 10000% confirmed.

 

[Renevent]

So the distribution pie graph shows Fig get's 40% of the dough...how does that work? Kickstarter I think is 5% or something so that seems insanely more expensive. Or is that 40% the pre-allocated amount for investors? Anyone know the deal here?

On a side note the expected delivery shows Q4 2019. While it's nice they gave a realistic completion date, I don't know if I'll even be playing video games 3 years from now. Think I'll just sit this one out.

You have it backwards. Fig (ie, this campaign) provides 40% of the dough. This isn't the game's entire budget.

 

[Neanderthal]

Meh, pick it up on a sale year or two after release if its campaign is any good.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

For all our scepticism, it seems a hit with the target demographic so far:

[Jimmious]

I'll get also Stasis for that price(I have Underrail)? Awesome-sauce

 

[Zombra]

VAX he ain't. Here's hoping Annoying Robot isn't being groomed to be in the game.

 

[Perkel]

Welp they already got most of what they want.

 

[Zombra]

The format of conversations looks fine, but what's up with this art style? Is that Shrek?
