I didn't find the concept art that impressive. Kind of struck me as 'generic shooter cover art'. I was kind of hoping the first piece of art to be some sort of location artwork.

Once again, I have to say, the attention this game gets here is "astounding". No real friends of oldschool RPG's here, aside from the few really cool people (who pledged, or otherwise supported the project) in this thread.

we don't know a single thing about Wasteland 2's concept, what it has in store, etc. granted these things come in time, but you get the idea.

Because I don't always make coherency until about somewhere midway into my involvement in things.

Have you forgotten whose forum this is? Bethesda. One of the greatest jokes in the oldschool RPG communities. What did you expect? I've pledged my hundred and gave even more to those other unmentionable communities for their funding drives as well.

Not really, no. I have no memory of writing the piece you quoted. Came home from a barbeque party pretty drunk that night, and apparently, at some point, felt the need to lament that sort of thing (along with posting other seemingly nonsensical things).

Better check your pledge. Might have added a few zeros by drunken mistake.

For Wasteland 2, the PC is the root of the product. The Fallout series, at least for now, is focused more at a console group, and for me, there's a major difference. There's a lot of people that loved Fallout 1 and 2, and Fallout 3 just isn't what they want. To me, Wasteland 2 is for those people," he said.

Instead, players wanted InXile to include more text, giving the game a more robust, branching narrative. Adding voice-overs would only limit the game's scope, as dialogue trees would be bound by the game's audio budget. "It was an interesting thing to hear from [the fans], and I'm glad I heard that," Fargo said.

He was quick to note, however, that InXile can't put complete faith in this fan feedback. Fargo said that while the backers have effectively taken the place of a traditional publisher, InXile isn't willing to give up any creative control.

"When I get feedback from the users, I know a good idea when I hear it, and I know a consensus when I hear it. I'll make that decision myself. Now, if I'm working with a publisher, they can tell me what to do, I can disagree, and they'll say, 'we don't care.' There's a huge difference," he said.

At least you have coherency.

I wish I had 10k to donate. I wouldn't mind trolling people with a statue in the game.

According to Brian's last twitter he is working on a new video and Mark has done some music for the game that Brian MIGHT be able to share in said new video.

I want to see the new video though!

New video? A gameplay video?

No, a video of Fargo doing pelvic thrusts.
