This game has already made me sad

Now all I want in a patch from Obsidian is a way to play multiple games simultaneously through multiple saves. I CAN'T BE CONFINED TO ONE AUMAUA PALADIN GUYS.
Recruits are one level below you. But other than that, you could build them pretty strong if you try for an OP build.
The companions don't seem to be that op in terms of items and stats, though I didn't check too closely.
I'm rolling with Fenior Melroza, Ocean Folk Vailian, former noble current rogue. He's cool, I found him a hat with a feather that's perfect for him. Playing on Hard and it's smooth sailing so far.
Nah. I have one local coop evening every week, it's tradition for 5 years or so now. And Audiosurf is on the traditional rotation

Im having fun, but it seems I dont know how to play the fights because in every encounter im in the brink of death. I suppose that would be normal playing on hard, but Im playing in normal and the game is kicking my butt and im sure it is becuase i dont understand how to move the characters and use the attacks wisely. Im always afraid of using the ones where it has a number of uses that you cant use again until your rest.
Im using a druid and im with the two first real companions in
Between the thin number of uses, the game telling you fires are scarce, and some of the AoE attacks killing my own characters, im afraid of using 90% of them.
Any tips?

Is the game fully voiced? It's huge.

Exactly what an imposter would say.
I gotta say, InXile has got some work cut out for them to meet the bar this game sets
are you talking about Wastleland 2 release rushed or their upcoming game Torment ?
and since no one responded to me, I repeat, do you need to have a special skill to backstab someone or do I just attack on the back of a monster to have an amplified attack ? kinda new to this kind of game.
well I know what I'm going to be doing
backstab is the first thing you get when you level up a rogue
it's pretty hard to backstab animals, which there's plenty at first, just so you know
thankfully using a bow/crossbow while undetected also counts as a sneak attack and gets the multiplier afaik
Just played the first quest or whatever you want to call it. This game is real. The soundtrack and writing are especially good and I'm really savouring every bit.
A bunch of old friends who started out with BG and the like bought this game instantly today. And they rarely buy games these days, unless they are on a huge discount.

I probably suck at combat in this game, I tried to kill a group of wolves with a party of 4 and get wrecked

What does "Action Speed" affect, exactly? I've looked at the wiki and the manual, and neither precisely define it.
Does having more of it make your recovery bar go down faster? If hypothetically, you had a 50% bonus to Action Speed, would you do three attacks in the time that a character with no bonus would make two?

I think I might need help with stat distribution:
I want to make my PC a Chanter. I started with 10 MGT, 12 CON, 10 DEX, 10 PER, 18 INT, 18 RES.
Is that decent? I play Pathfinder games often, and this is all very much obscure for me. I just don't know what's important. They suggest CON and INT but I've heard CON isn't a great stat.
That all being said, should I just relegate him to a bard role and not take many damaging spells and just take the summons? I don't have ant MGT at the moment so I don't know think he'll do much damage.
I've watched Sensuki's videos and I'm still lost on this aspect.
Any insight would be much appreciated!

I'm talking about Torment. It's a bit too late for Wasteland 2.
He's still played more of the game than you so far though. ;D
Edit: I'm not even out of the tutorial and I'm already having skill checks on my dialogue. Holy shit.
Of course, we'll all be back at the character creation screen eventually, why delay it?

I wonder how many people catch on to the name minor early spoilers
The black hound inn
You can. Each character gets its own "folder" named after itself where all its saves go.
Path of the Damned just mean fucktons of enemies right?
I'm exactly in the same situation, except my char is a wizard, getting my ass handed over to me by
shadows
Also, certain things are unclear, like some item bonuses that are written pretty strangely (like "Of Accuracy +5, Accuracy +5" or something similar) or, if you look at
Eder's armor
Easy + Medium + Hard = PotD. So yeah. Metric fucktonne.
The music in this game is FUCKING AMAZING.
Awesome thanks.

Are the backgrounds pre-rendered or 3D? I know you can zoom in and all.

Is there some actual documentation ..?
The manual says one thing at page 4, the opposite at page 15. The Errata page says a completely different thing but leaves the contradiction just the same.

I'm getting quite frequent crashes when loading new areas. It may be because apparently I'm under minim spec as I have a 32 bit OS and thus less than 4 GB of RAM. anyone else having CTDs as well?

This game plays pretty well on the iPad with splashtop if anyone's interested in playing on the go or in bed
Starting on Normal because I'm a pussy.
all enemies from easy + normal + hard modes (so yeah a fuckton) plus enemies receive a 50% bonus "to most stats"
(from the pdf manual)
