There should be a Doom mod where all the enemies are savescumming casuals.

Aka how to rape yourself with a piece of rebar

That's basically nightmare mode though

Just ignore the kiddie. He was born too late and clearly never played the game. He doesn't know.

What am I missing here? Only played original Wasteland once, via Dos Box, never save-scummed in it over those... 5 hours? Maybe 6 hours of playing? Either way, what's the deal here?

>>5053810
Makes me think is there a game designed with actual "save scum" in mind, like you HAVE to in order to beat the game?

>> No.5055987

Literally every PC game as they're a bunch of quick saving piles of shit that you might as well be making a TAS

Sierra adventure games.

You can't save scum in WASTELAND by design. The game is build in a very bizarre, specific way, it randomizes things when you load the game, so you absolutely cannot cheat via saving.

>> No.5056613

>>5056564
But doesn't that mean you can reload in a tough spot and suddenly be in a better position thanks to RNG?

>> No.5056650

>>5056613
No, because equipment/stats and your position doesn't randomize, only time/events and several other things. It's basically life a persistent world which doesn't wait for you, like if game runs in real time even if you're not playing it (though it was, for obvious reasons, way much more primitively implemented than in, for example, Star Citizen), so it doesn't care if you load a game or not - things will be different.

Guess I'll have to give it a shot once again, especially since there is a remaster now, rather than the old version that was nigh-impossible to run on 64bit

They're re-released the game alongside Wasteland 2 and iirc the paragraphs are integrated now into the game, rather than being in the manual

It's still the same game, though. Straight from the 80s. It's not remastered one slightest bit.

The game is identical but they did add some graphics/sound options that weren't originally there.

Show me. I won't believe it until I see it.

Anyone who didn't savescum Baldur's Gate or its sequel on their first playthrough is either lying or never lost a character for dumb/RNG reasons.
