This game is just brilliant. I've put about 5 hours into it so far and loving every minute of it. That sense of 'now what?' when you leave the Vault is amazing and the fact that you have to be really careful in conserving your ammo adds to the tension. Luckily, my startup stats (which I decided to keep) had my character high-up on the melee weapons skill - so he's not too bad with the 'ol baseball bat.
So far, I've spotted a few references back to the original Interplay classic of Wasteland (which is 20 years old now - feck!
) These include the BB gun and also the Church of the Atom - Wasteland had a Church of the Mushroom Cloud - full of bomb-worshipping nutters. I'm really,
really hoping that they add some more links back to WL - probably in the expansion packs that will inevitably follow. Something like the proton ax, meson cannon or the Red Ryder rifle would be great. Adding the Scorpitron would be the ultimate nostalgia trip - lol!
