Hats tended to make my male character go completely bald on the sides, for instance.
There are also some outright bugs in some fashion combinations.
Hair color was a particular issue-your choices boil down to "jet black, incredibly unnatural blond, wrong red, or something dyed."

There's a giant color palette to choose from for clothes, skin color, and hair color, but many of the sample choices in the palette don't look the same once they're applied to the character. AdvertisementĪlthough you get pretty thorough control of your characters' appearance, the customization is a long way from perfect. Thankfully, you begin the game with only two Rangers-this helps combat the "customization fatigue" many players can experience in feeling the need to create six or eight separate characters and backstories all at once. The game encourages you to invest in your characters by giving you plenty of customization options, from their looks, clothes, and physical size and shape to their background stories and personal quirks.

The pre-release version we tested was available for the Windows platform only, but Linux, Mac, Xbox One, and PS4 versions are expected at or shortly after launch.Īt its heart, Wasteland 3-like all good RPGs-is about character development. If you aren't rocking a fast SSD, you're in for a very long wait each time you load a saved game, or transition from one zone to the next. That was ludicrous overkill for an RPG which recommends an i7-3770 or better with 8GiB of RAM, and a GTX 1060.

Character creationĪrs' Gaming RigArs tested the Windows version of Wasteland 3 on a rig with an AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT CPU, GeForce RTX 2060 Super, 64GiB of DDR4 memory, and a Samsung 960 Pro 1TB SSD. Read on without fear of spoiling your own post-apocalyptic journey ahead. To that end, we're strenuously avoiding plot spoilers in this review from here. It may be a dark world and a trying experience at times, but we've enjoyed 40+ hours of navigating Wasteland 3 so far.
It's a fine line to walk, but the tongue-in-cheek cultural references and silly jokes keep the player from slipping into despair at the awful situations faced by the game's characters. Wasteland tries to take itself a little more seriously than Fallout does, too-its humor is a little less over the top, its ethical choices are harder, and it tries more frequently to get you to feel the gravity of the plights its characters find themselves in, up to and including brutal murder and cannibalism. The HUD includes an Alpine-style cassette deck with obnoxious graphic equalizer, the clubs have Discobots, the CPUs are "overclocked to 66MHz," and so on. But where Fallout's world seems to have sprung from the late '50s, Wasteland's setting branches out from somewhere in the '80s. If you're thinking "like Fallout, but turn-based?" you're not too far off-there are a lot of similarities between Wasteland's and Fallout's versions of post-WWIII America, including some hilariously retrofuturistic touches.
For those who aren't already familiar with the series, it's a darkly humorous tactical battler, set in an alternate-universe post-apocalyptic America divided into widely separated fiefdoms and sprawling chaos.

As a huge fan of RPGs in general and a backer of Wasteland 2, getting to play the next game in the series for my job was an obvious no-brainer. When I got the chance to play a pre-release copy of inXile's post-apocalyptic RPG Wasteland 3, I jumped at it.
