Some more information on Wasteland 2 appeared online, thanks to a preview on the GameStar magazine.
Apparently, the game will have between 40 and 50 maps (for comparison, Fallout 2 had 23), and it is supposed to last 20 hours not counting any side quest.
Wasteland 2 will also use the so-called CLASSIC (Charisma, Luck, Awareness, Strength, Speed, Intelligence and Coordination) attribute system, in coordination with the following 32 skills:
- Combat skills: Blunt Weapons, Bladed Weapons, Anti-Tank-Weapons, SMG, Shotguns, Energy Weapons, Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifle, Handguns
- Scientific skills: Picklock, Safecrack, Alarm Disarm, Toaster Repair, Computer Tech, Synth Tech, Demolitions, Brute Force
- General skills: Silent Move, Salvaging, Hard Ass, B.S. Detector, Outdoorsman, Evasion, Leadership, Folklore, Animal Whisperer, Field Medic, Surgeon, Weapon Smithing, Field Stripping, Perception, Barter
inXile also told GameStar that it expects to sell 200-300k copies to fund the development of new games. Check a bonus screenshot below. Wasteland 2 is expected to hit beta status in October for the PC platform.
