disi: I just installed Directors Cut 2.0.1.2 to see how it goes, the game hangs every few seconds and is absolute unplayable.
The latest version is from October last year. Is that it?

Wasteland 2 Kickstarter 2.4.0.18 runs at first, then in battle and on the map occasional lag (like after every turn)?

I thought they would have fixed the problems at release by now.

disi: Nope, I have not.

But I was sitting there and though which game I should try next. Then used the latest installers of Wasteland 2 and this is the result, a year after release?

I'll try this: disi:

disi: Thanks. I noticed you can progress the story mostly either way.
Toaster, as you said, is only for Boni it appears.

It is also cool how you pick up more people on the way.

We have me, the smart-ass with a shotgun, Angela Deth, the hard-ass mid-distance assault-rifle, Hex, my mechanical computer scientist with energy weapons, Fade can open locks with a close up submachine-gun and recently that native american woman with a sniper rifle and I am not sure how the animal whisper stuff works out with her. Oh and Pills from the Enterprise* for all the medical needs.

*in the German version Bones was called "Pille".

I am now at Highpool and Ag Center keeps calling in, their situation seems to get worse the further I progress at Highpool. Is this supposed to happen? Should I let Highpool blow up and go over to Ag Center?!?
OMG! Poor Kathy... at Highpool everyone is/was against the Desert Rangers, the Ag Center sound friendlier.

The needs of the many... water seems more important than food in the short future.

disi: Thanks, nothing spoilered because Ag Center is gone. I went to the place and only found some heavily injured guy, Angie hard-assed him into giving up his disguise and he was the one poisoning the plants... now he is no more.
I only play Rookie, so it should not matter too much.

What I noticed, Vulture's Cry sometimes does her own turn in combat. Is this something special about her?
She does fit well into the squad, because I didn't have a sniper before.

disi: Just something I noticed on the way. I had Vulture's Cry charm the goat from the Ranger Citadel and it died at some stage in a battle. All I could find on the cadaver was a used condom...

p.s. as for ROOKIE. I am not so much into hard combat. It should make me upgrade my weapons and armour but not punish me with close to impossible situations, where every battle takes an hour with extreme micromanagement. This is not rewarding for me but annoying.
The 'dangerous' raiders on the Arizona map are already just annoying with lvl18+ and all modded weapons. Just animals are really tough in this game.

The little things and stories are enough in Wasteland2 to keep me going.

Running forward and backward, talking to npc, skills for dialogue options, disarming every single mine manually, no minimaps, no quest pointers except for text is already a huge jump in difficulty compared to other games where you just follow green arrows.
