The upcoming RPG Wasteland 2 takes players into the lawless West as different factions fight for resources and supremacy. The game's new Combat Trailer can teach you how to make sure your team is the one standing on top of the pile when the dust clears.
Wasteland 2 Developer Crowdsources Translations Of The Game
The video starts by detailing the game's character customization system. Players will have to create a team of four rangers that can either be created from scratch or chosen from the developer's pre-made stash of ready-to-go warriors. The video goes into the functions and benefits of many of the attributes a player can invest in while creating a character. It's also a good chance to get a quick look at the skills players will be able to train in.
On that topic, I'd be interested in finding an example of any other game that has separate skills for "Hard Ass" and "Toaster Repair." Apparently your value as a person in the world of Wasteland 2 is dependent on your ability to fix appliances.

The video then delves a bit into combat strategy for the game. A four-person team can easily find themselves out of luck in the wild unless they take care to have the right combination of skills and attributes among them. Beyond relying on their own skill, players can also take advantage of strategic cover and features of the natural environment to give them an edge over other groups trying to run the frontier.
Wasteland 2 is set to hit PCs on September 19.
