Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
Wasteland and Fallout are both pretty classic. How do you all think they compare?

Wasteland 1 was alright and fresh for the time and is sort of enjoyable now.
2 took that and became boring tripe and felt like a rehash of everything 1 did, but shifted to Arizona and to LA, though the minor factions were interesting to a degree.
3 is moving north to Colorado and if they have another damn AI big bad, well I wouldn't be surprised. Disappointed but not surprised.
Pre-War (what AI were there in '89 again? But I guess they split off before that as there was some sort of Star Wars system in place,too) coming up and making cyborgs and robots to kill everyone else...they need a new script is all. The Rangers can be doing so much more like either helping or opposing a state rise, dealing with invaders from the south or north, or somethin'.

Fallout was originally supposed to be a sequel to Wasteland—but not for very long; they would never get the rights.
There are striking similarities though.
Tycho mentions the rangers, and in Fallout 2, NCR has a rangers outpost.
Wasteland 2 is —practically— FO:Tactics 2, with a different story/setting.

Wasteland 1, like Fallout 1 and 2, is arguably a classic, but with the bonus of having inspired an entire post-apoc RPG subgenre.
Wasteland 2 was painfully mediocre and while I enjoy playing it, it’s not GOTY material. Wasteland 3 looks promising, however, but 2 taught me not to get my hopes up.

I have been pretty disappointed with both entries so far. With Wasteland 2 in particular I felt like it was just squandered potential. I hope 3 is better.
