i found it pretty easy to get into, at least easier than bard's tale.

you should try again but with the Original Classic remaster, which includes some cool shit like paragraphs being built into the game, narration, music and high res portraits (all toggleable)

honestly the hardest part is probably sitting through the first few hours of the game where you're running quests for the desert nomads and highpool. Once you get to Quartz and Needles the game really starts to pick up and by then you should have a handle on how to play it.

Just make sure you roll your own characters. The basic ones are kinda crappy.

And the game doesn't really ever fake you out over stuff. If it's giving you a warning (IE when you try to get closer to the Guardian Citadel) it's not joshing you, you will get absolutely massacred.

I just got to Vegas and the game has begun shitting all over me.

So first off I've been backing up my save files. I do this by copy/pasting the entire game folder into a new folder and then renaming it to the area it saved at. Might be a bit work-around, but it's going just fine for me.

Another thing, if you're using Per's guide (specifically his two-fisted / Assault Rifle party build), then you might be wondering where the fuck you can pickup some assault rifles without sequence breaking. Well there's actually two in Needles. One if behind a bomb-able wall downtown, but the other (which isn't mentioned in Per's guide) is at the North Western-most corner of the Island in the middle of Lake Blood. If you don't know what that is yet... well, uh.. you'll see. Trust me.

Here's a little thing: I don't know about you guys, but I fucking HATE the player avatar. He looks like Mr. Bill. A simple google search for "Wastleand 1 mod" has a top link (for me) for inxile forums. Top post, about 6 links down is Ranger Icon. Have at it.

Speaking of mods, I've thought on/off about giving the game a slight makeover from time to time. The Shadowclaw REALLY should have been given it's own portrait (I would digitize the werewolf-esque concept art I've seen of it). On top of that, I was never really a fan of the bright pink monster avatar. I wonder if it's possible to separate the monsters and give them individual avatars. On top of that, why not add more random encounter to the inside of abandoned houses? There's a shit load of them in Vegas alone, and there's nothing in any of them, except the possibility I could catch a disease.

I've picked up and played the game a few times before dropping it and I always seem to make it to Vegas. How the fuck do I kill the Scorpitron? Per's guide is awful casual about the whole thing, but my guys just get raped every time. Is it something I'm not supposed to take out until later? Any tips for Vegas in general?

Took me at least 4 restarts until I got a good thing going. Worth it though.
