InXile Entertainment Shares New Details From The World Of Wasteland 3. In The Second Development Diary, The Company Emphasizes The Characters And How The Story Has Been Designed Regarding The Second Delivery. You can see it in the header.
Brian Fargo (study leader) and Nathan Long (senior writer) introduce the Gippers' leader, Mother Nancy Reliance, a clan who believes that Ronald Reagan is a god they call "God President Reagan." His wife, how could it be otherwise, take her as high priestess. This faction controls the supply of fuel in Colorado, so you will have to enter into conversations with them when the situation requires it.
As for the story, Nathan acknowledges that Wasteland 2 was "too episodic." “You went to a city and found a story, which you followed. So you went to another city and found another plot to follow. The connections between the stories were too weak, "he says. The main characters will change perspective to first person during conversations.
So they wanted the Wasteland 3 story to be "a much more cohesive and structured story." Following the example of its predecessor, "you discovered the conflict as you traveled", while in the sequel "it is presented to you from the beginning". This creates an interesting opportunity on the narrative level, since, in Nathan's words, "you won't know if they are telling you the truth." "That is part of the fun of the game. The discovery, what is the truth and if I have been living a lie. Digging to find out who is truly my friend and who is my enemy ”, he concludes.
Wasteland 3 has passed through our hands twice. One, during X019, in which we qualified it as "the best role lap". The second was last April, in which our colleague Virginia Mejías tested the latest published build for a few hours. After its delay due to the coronavirus, the title will arrive on PS4, Xbox One and PC on August 28.
