I decided to preorder when one of the main devs said the nemesis system and the game's random generation was intended to simulate a GM in a roleplaying game :)

It's an nice enough game, the gunplay is pretty nice and the backdrops are pretty, but you could more or less just play (free) Warframe for the same experience.

I've been playing this a bit - got inside the Citadel and stopped there last - and I guess the game is... good. But it is not an instant classic that sucks you in. I'm actually most disappointed with dialogues. They seem just shallow without the kind of deep content Fallout 2 or Planescape:Torment had. My main guy has high charisma and I keep updating talky skills, but they don't seem that useful, really. There has been too much combat about random mooks and too little other content. Perhaps the game will improve from this, though - I sure hope so!

It's a different type of game. It's a tactical RPG and the focus isn't so much on character interaction and "deep" dialogue as it is on mission and goal accomplishment. Dialogues are vehicles that will get you towards the goals you have as a tactical unit, a Desert Ranger squad. Also, the game attempts to invoke the same type of character interaction as the original, just with a bit more choice for the player. That being said, I have one of each talky skill in my team and I feel I've had plenty of option to use them all.
The game may change after the Arizona area, I'm only just preparing to leave for the next area.

Is the game worth it right now or should I wait of it to go on special right now?

I have seen some videos/review but I still not sure yet if I should with the price of 40$ or wait until the Halloween sale in the next  two months.

It has its fair share of minor bugs, but considering I've spent almost 40 hours on it so far I'd say it's worth buying it now.

Stumbled over this today and read/watched every piece of media that you guys have put out. Going in at the lowest pledge level for the moment, but there's a whole month for me to be hyped up to a larger pledge ;).

If reading this thread doesn't hype you for the game, you're a cold man  ;)

I'm curious how exactly you solved it. It has several solutions. Of course there's an alternative to text input which is clicking the word you have to input directly when it appears in the dialogue. It never appears as an option in your choices though.

This is what I did:

I'm playing on the "just above Rookie" (forgot the name) difficulty and I feel it's a good fit. Not too challenging since I'm not exceptionally hardcore at games like this, but the large battles do provide some challenge. I'm not really feeling much of a resource drain yet, though, but still haven't progressed much past the first areas.

Ran into another ridiculous bug.

A follower named Takayuki joined me after I saved his mother waaay back at the start of the game. Suddenly now the game randomly decided to flag it as if I killed the miners and his mother instead. So not only does this Follower refuse to follow me any more (while holding all my RPGs and explosives) but all those miners I saved now hate me because I killed them.

Sigh...

I managed to solve the Rail Nomads questline without resorting to text input. Maybe Sartain ran into a bug as well that required him to use it.

While I agree that the backing may slow down considerably, having over 30% covered in one day lays a great foundation for reaching the goal, I think.

Okay, I encountered a rather annoying feature of the game. I've finished the two initial missions
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
and headed off to a third area, which seemed to be "skipping ahead" in terms of narrative structure. So I turned back and went to Rail Nomad Camp after visiting the citadel. Now here comes the annoying part: So far, I have had 0 luck typing keywords manually in conversations. Even the obvious ones seemed to not be registered. So I basically wrote using the text input in dialogues off as unnecessary but apparently, resolving the conflict at the Rail Nomad Camp optimally require you use the text parser, even if the game hasn't used it at all up to that point.

Backed for the Heroic (villain) tier. Looking forward to find out what kind of naming conventions you're going to use. Also glad to see the thread on GITP picked up a little at least (I'm Driderman there) :)

While I certainly won't praise the UI for being particularly good, I don't actually think it's that bad. Although yes, the interchangeable left-click/Right-click is very annoying.

Just wondering if anyone knows how/if this plays on low-end systems? I've got a pretty terrible laptop (which is below the min. required specs) but I can usually force through any not-too-graphically intensive game which doesn't need a steady frame rate. Any thoughts?

It seems pretty poorly optimized, it ran sluggish on my desktop until I fiddled with the shadow settings.

Why doesn't the equipped clothing seem to have any effect on the character model in that picture? Have you set them to hide somehow, or have the developers been lazy?

The customization is outright horrible. For character portraits you can either use the ones that come with the game and have to settle for not being able to make the avatar resemble the picture in any way (and also experience that NPCs are using your images) or you can make a snapshot of the character at the time of character creation which is not editable later.
The customization is really, really bad but other than that it's a good game.

It is possible that they are based on the ones meant to keep your socks up.

They're quite stripperific so I doubt they're meant as a male model

You wear them under your clothes XD

Not in this game, apparently :)
