So I figured I would save BEFORE an enemy encounter.but can't do that because I don't know when I'm going to run into an enemy.and once I do, I can't just run away to avoid them.so no matter what I try to do, I'm always getting blindsided and guaranteed to take damage and loose some or possibly all of my team. And running apparently isn't much good because I've tried running from every encounter, and I can NEVER outrun without taking damage, often serious, to my team. It just tells you AFTER you encounter it and asks you what you want to do. show icon on screen BEFORE you encounter them).

Details varied, but overall experience was the same.īoy this game sure is a load of fun to play!!! -)Īs far as I can see, the game doesn't give any warning that you're about to run into an enemy (e.g. I tried building a different team under a different save game. When it's over, I've lost half my team, most of my ammo and the remaining team members are half-dead. I try to heal my team members (all team members have Medic skill of at least 1 so they can heal each other), but when I opt to heal I get a message saying "XXX will heal over time" (?) and no hit points are restored. I try attacking a few rounds using pistols, but decide I want to get away since my team is taking more damage than I'd like. I hit a spot where it says there are desert lizards 22 feet away and it asks what I want to do. So I start moving around the new location looking for the varmits. I say I want to help, and then I'm "teleported" or something to some different location (what the hell?). So I bounce out and read paragraph 56 to learn there's some varmits giving these guys trouble. Don't remember the name of the place, but as soon as I enter, the game directs me to read paragraph 56. Then I find the next place just a little to the West. Yes I know I should sell stuff to get money early in the game, BUT I don't know if I'll need any of the stuff (e.g. So I traverse every single square of High Tower and all I find is the guy selling stuff. Do NPC's have certain verbs/nouns/objects they recognize like the Zork games? Or is some other mechanic used? A FAQ or something explaining "talk" with NPC's would be helpful. Sure I can bounce out to a walkthrough to find out what to talk about, but I prefer to use walkthroughs only as a last resort. What the hell?!! How am I supposed to know what to talk about? I try randomly choosing topics and all I get is "I dunno". Then it asks "About what?" but if offers no suggestions. The game asks me if I want to talk to the kid, so I say Yes. I found the kid at the bottom left corner. Once that was done I restored my save game folder and ventured forth.īut I'm still somewhat confused by how the game operates, and I find the game so punishingly hard that it's totally unenjoyable.Īn example of where I find the game mechanics confusing is at High Pool.

I backed up my save game folder so I could do some trial-and-error until I figured out the mechanics of how to play the game. Then I spent an hour making my own party based on suggestions from Per Jorner's walkthrough.

(3) Pages 1-12 of Per Jorner's Walkthrough (2) Wasteland FAQ by Stephen Sedmak and Chris Baer So I've spent a few hours reading the following before attempting to play Wasteland.
#Wasteland 3 walkthrough manuals
For example, it took me a few hours to get the hang of Ultima I, but after reading the manuals and FAQ's online I was ready to go and enjoyed Ultima very much. I understand with these really old games I can't just jump in a play. Seriously, since so many people around the world love to play this game, I must be missing something.

I just bought Wasteland, and so far I hate the game.
