You can ditch the game's main quests and become a rogue, killing all the game's NPCs at will. As with other high-profile modern RPGs, your actions have consequences, but Wasteland 2 projects some old school concepts upon this philosophy. The log also offers descriptions of the game's combat in homage to the classic text-based RPGs of yesteryear. As you wander around the wasteland, the log will deliver detailed descriptions of what the high camera view can't display, often with comedic leanings. The story is quite gripping if you can get over the patchy acting. On your mission to solve the wasteland's problems you'll meet and greet them all, and maybe kill a fair few of them. Cultists, crazed robots, nihilistic miilltias, traders, mutants, freaks, raiders are all represented. You'll stumble upon gigantic mutated fruit and veg, dilapidated highways, ruined cities and all manner of inter-dependent factions. However, the design of the game's world, and the details poured into it are nothing short of excellent - wholly what you'd expect of a quality RPG.

Only portions of the dialogue are voiced, and even when they are voiced, the quality of the acting can be a mixed bag.

Some of the frills you might expect of a 'Triple A' budgeted game simply aren't present.
