But best title ever!
A new piece of concept art has been posted on Facebook by inXile CEO Brian Fargo, this time featuring... well, I'll just leave you to the description:<blockquote>Here is another portrait piece by another of the very talented concept artists.

These mad little guys wear bandoliers of mini-nuke grenades and if provoked, will charge shouting "To Titan!" before self-detonating.
</blockquote>Should fit well with the giant tomatoes and killer rabbits, I suspect.

Yes mini nukes! (This post was not really about pointing out that mini nukes seem to have existed because that's irrelevant, but more about having a post that said "Yes mini nukes!")

Also, love the art!

Suicide Nuke-dude? What a divine path to a clean house.

Random encounter for the lulz or ticking clock for the procratinators?

No off the rack deus ex ignis tempestas for WL2!

OH, and the question of 'this' last day is ... auto save key is ... where? ;)

That would be army of mutant of wasteland2.
I always wonder why they haven't showing mutant.
Now that would be one. :clap:
 
To me it looks just stupid and you all look like you are just eating everything they give you. If that was in fallout 3 you would have hated it all the way.

Wasteland is not Fallout.

That said, I don't get what why are suicidal rather than throwing the grenades but it should make for an interesting enemy from a gameplay perspective. The art is phenomenal.

I wouldn't mind this enemy in FO3/FNV/any Fallout whatsoever IF they were explained well. Problem is FO3 couldn't bother explaining a lot of stuff it had. (Please don't start another FO3 argument).

Well yeah, that would be totally out of place in Fallout. Just like Bahamut would be totally out of place in Fallout, but yet I still love Bahamut in Final Fantasy. It's a good thing Wasteland isn't Fallout, yes?

But wait, why am I trying to have a rational discussion with a troll?

Anyway, art looks great.
 
I wonder how many of you have played the original? If anything, one of my worries was that the direction seemed too Fallout-y and serious (and really, the main difference between the two settings, aside from other minor discrepancies, is that Wasteland is much sillier and more childish rather than satirical... it's basically a 1980s teenager's view of post-apocalypse, with all the silly that it comes with).

I too hoped for green mohawk-ed pink leather wearing blue gun toting cyberpunk bikers, rather than brown raiders who wear brown.

I've never played the original, but I always felt the 80s feel was a staple. The new "everyone is serious and angry" bit bores me. Nevertheless, I'm still excited to play the game.

I played the original...

25 years ago. :p
 
I think they have potential to be something great, not just silly.
He's wearing army jacket, so they probably live in some military base where nuke experiments were held. So maybe there can be random encounter in the desert showing place where grenades were being tested - radiation, warning signs, cages, animal bones. Reminiscent of something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxNfgFi8PSQ
And why they are prepared for sacrifice themselves? They should have some serious enemy. Not just Rangers. Someone violent, unhuman, who would torture you if he took you alive. So they would rather die then let to catch.
Or they can be just crazy cultist believing in crazy stuff, doing crazy things because, well, they are crazy.

I wasn't even born D: But ahahah, yeah, I mean, I'm sure there are Wasteland fans that aren't happy with the direction either for a reason or another, and that's totally fine, I just wanted to, y'know, point out that criticism that applies for the Fallout setting doesn't necessarily always applies to Wasteland. Different sensibilities, and tone, etc. I'm certainly not a Wasteland scholar! That's Per. The scholar lizard.
