The best role returns

This new chapter in the saga transports us back to a post-apocalyptic future in which the Earth has suffered the consequences of a nuclear war that has caused life to have nothing to do with how we know it today. Our protagonists will be a couple of Rangers who dedicate their lives to maintaining peace in Arizona until a mysterious figure, known as the Patriarch of Colorado, asks for our help.

The mission he will propose to us will be to bring his three bloodthirsty children alive and in return will offer us all the support we need to continue with the task that our characters were dedicated to. However, appearances may be misleading and in reality the motives behind the Patriarch are not really that good, but that is something that will have to be discovered on the fly.

The truth is that the history of Wasteland 3, despite having a more or less fixed base, will evolve and change on the fly based on the decisions we make. This is by far one of the most decisive points of the adventure because any response we give or any action we take can considerably affect the events that will take place in the short term or it may take a long time for us to witness the true scope that our choice has had.

As soon as the game begins, we will have to make the first of the important decisions that will be to select our protagonists. As we have previously indicated, there will be two with which we can opt for ones that are already established by default or directly create our own following a series of relevant guidelines.

In the latter case, we will be able to choose clothing, physique, gender or voice, while the rest of the deeper options focus on the distribution of statistics, special abilities and even tares can be established to improve some aspects of the character. at the cost of diminishing their capacities in other sections. Of course each character can be totally unique to the others, because we will have at our disposal a long list of specialties.

Some of them will consist of having a gift for leadership, being able to open locks, training in first aid, having knowledge of mechanics or there will be others more surprising a priori such as the ability to whisper to animals, among many others. Each and every one of them will have their importance and sooner or later we will end up taking advantage of anyone, hence we must always take into account what our characters are capable of and the rest that we will recruit later.

The first two Wasteland were some masterful games and Wasteland 3 doesn't look like it will be left behind at all. I have only covered a small part of the game and it gave us the impression that we are not fully aware of the tremendous depth that the adventure will have. I have been wanting more and we are already counting the days until May 19 to return to Colorado.
