These SSDs can't come soon enough. I keep thinking how butter this game would be with a real gaming CPU.

Had 2 crashes at shops, which isn't the end of the world as I save all the damned time in wasteland. Ever since I accidently set of nuke off in wasteland 2.
Anyway, I've found a QoL improvement I would like to see: non jumping menus.
When I buy or sell an item, I don't want the cursor to jump between menus. I was spamming A to sell all of my crap that I had picked up and got confused when it said I had no money. 700 dollary doos right down the shitter.

That entire questline was so fucking hilarious, i know it's not a popular opinion but i really enjoyed my time with wasteland 2.

Questline?
Nahh I fucked with one in HQ.
It said something like "an atomic bomb, it looks like it's still primed"
I clicked again "playing around with a live nuke is a bad idea. Maybe it's best not to touch it"
I clicked it again, screen flashes white then shows a mushroom cloud. "game over"
Fuck.

Some of my goody two-shoes decisions in the beginning of the game are really starting to come back to bite me in the ass. Also ...fuck Synths

Expertly crafted? The entire point of painstaking character creation is almost nullified because you can make as many one trick ponies as you want and add them or remove them as many times as you want.
Also all the crashing and general bugs.
Expertly crafted? You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means.

Yep, that was a crazy fight, didn't find Warrens too bad, but I approached every room really slow and created funnels.
My biggest bane are DOTs, all forms. Fire, poison, the healer class needs some better way of curing it. Cures I have only found on vendors, should be a stim or drink or something to mitigate poison

I've not had a single crash or bug yet, must be lucky
Also why are you criticising the game for the character creation and squad based nature? That's the whole point of having up to 6 characters, you make each one a specialist so that you are covered in any situation. If you spent ages making a character, that's on you, you're not being forced to. The game gives you presets and plenty of opportunities to meet other characters that you can add to your squad in the game world.

Make a clip with a FPS counter and press shift repeatedly or jsut any clip where you have the text pop up. I've managed to drop from 100 to 30 frames per second only because of the text, Karak and others also acknowledged that bug. I'm pretty sure you have it and you noticed the many frame drops the game has. Even skillup confirmed it a tweet reply that it's terrible regarding optimizations. It's not expertly crafted at all unless you're just talking about the story/writing.

Yeh because of this I'm spending all my cash in the game on healing items from vendors so that I'm stocked up on antidotes and kits.
No idea how to remove fire though. When that happens I just end up missing the elemental system of Divinity OS.

This is a slow paced turn based RPG. If there's a game I'm not watching the FPS counter or concerned about the framerate in general with this is it. It has zero impact on the playability of the game. It's not like its stuttering when you're moving around, or trying to select dialogue choices, or even when picking your next move in combat.
Personally I've not noticed anything, but then I just set it to 4k max setting when I first started it up, saw it was running at a solid 60fps with vsync on then turned off my fps counter and left it alone.

What he meant and i agree even though i love this game, being able to create randoms at will kinda removes the planning aspect of character creation, you can build a mule for barter/weapon mod/armor mod, and just go back to base and switch anytime you want to, makes the game a lot easier and that's just one thing you can do with it.I've not had a single crash or bug yet, must be lucky

Made some decisions I regret. It is what it is.

Ah I get you but then you're just taking advantage of the freedom the game gives you if you do that.
It's not like you can level that character up significantly if you just leave them at base and only bring them out for non-combat situations. You also don't want to have to carry a character like that in combat because they would be useless.
It would be better to give a character like that basic small arms or melee/brawling skills and then make them a medic in addition to being your barter/modding character. That way they will still be able to make a significant contribution in combat and they will level with the rest of your squad.
You can't game the system then blame the game for you doing so.

Buggy..

Random crashes, hell if you approach loot the "WRONG WAY" you won't be able to loot it, you'll have to move to reposition if you're "too close" to it. It's very annoying, and hard to believe that this and other issues still exist, it's even harder to believe that this thing was DELAYED from an few month's earlier release and is STILL in this state.

Tower of time is that good huh?
Now I'm even more annoyed at missing out on the free giveaway on GOG a whole back.

Damn, by mistake I assigned some skill points to my main character (basically added to him 3 points to be able to install addons to guns). I preferred to have those points on a secondary character. Is there any way to rollback assigned points? Maybe something like a rare item to reset points or something? Not a big thing, but really bugs me.

Yes it has this mini game/ horde type that happens in the story that makes it very tough. Its been balanced since release so not as difficult but its one i would call hidden gem. They have a new game incoming called Dark Envoy dropping very soon. One of the new dev. out there to keep an eye on.

Wasteland 3, From The Perspective Of A Wasteland Newcomer
Early on in Wasteland 3, you’re forced to make a choice. The family of one of your party members, a young woman named Lucia Wesson, was recently killed. An early quest has you stumble upon a camp of downtrodden apocalypse survivors, where you meet Lucia’s ex-boyfriend. Even if he didn’t...

That's... Ridiculous.
Dumbed down rpg mechanics and it turns out it's still too hard for Kokatu.

Im quite surprised. I dont consider myself a skillful gamer at all, and found wastelander difficulty (default one) rather easy. Indeed Im seriously thinking on switching to one level up.

Now when I try to launch the game from the xbox windows app, it loads the store to the 'Gaming Services' page and will not launch the game... Even creating a desktop shortcut makes an usable file. I guess I need to reinstall.... Not great as my internet has data caps and I just downloaded the 38 gb 'update' this morning too.

I have a stupid question but I can't find the answer anywhere. Do you get more XP by fighting than by bypassing fights with skill checks? I just arrested a bunch of Dorseys at the Garden of the Gods but I'm guessing fighting them would've netted me way more XP. I would appreciate if one of you could help me out. Thanks.

If you're on PC play now, just save often (you should save often in cRPG's anyway but that's another story...).

FFS. I really hope this isn't the last game we get from inxile before they get infected by the SJW mind virus.
Their games have always had humorous and "edgy" (by today's standards anyway...) writing.
Long may it continue.

Fuck me... I don't know how to handle this request from Charley Knowles.
Ugh. I wish I could make the choice later and not need to respond right away...
He wants to take out the Monster faction at the Bizarre.

Sorry for not reading the whole thread, but any word on how buggy and crashy it is specifically related to the PS4 version?

Well I..
Already had 'Liked' as my faction with the monsters so it felt like natural progression to take out Charlie, he felt like a scumbag anyway

I wound up doing the opposite. One thing that it has impacted so far:
I just met another gang. The leader references me taking out the Monster Army.
I didn't at first either. Mid-way through the game and I am getting bad slowdown in some areas. While annoying, it's not enough to deter me from playing.
