Overview

About Wasteland 3

As the sole survivor of Team November, a Ranger squad dispatched to the icy Colorado wastes, you find this is a land of buried secrets, lost technology, fearsome lunatics, and deadly factions. No one here has ever heard of the Desert Rangers. Your reputation is yours to build from scratch, and your choices may save this land or doom it. With a renewed focus on macro-reactivity, you'll be picking between warring factions, deciding whether locations are destroyed or saved, and making other far reaching decisions that have a marked impact on the shape of your world.
Story setup
You push yourself from the ground. Biting wind claws at your eyes, your throat. Every inch of your body hurts, but you are alive. Your squadmates are not. They lie motionless, frozen beneath the bloody snow. You will join them if you don’t get out of this storm. A light flickers in the howling dark, over a distant hill. Wincing, you set off towards it.

There is the frequent use of the sexual expletive ‘fuck’, ‘fucking’ and the infrequent use of ‘cunt’. Violence ranges from non-realistic looking to gross violence, gross injuries sustained by characters include decapitation, dismemberment or being blown up and reduced to unidentifiable chunks, and this is all accompanied by lots of blood effects. A CGI cut scene shows a human character extolling the virtues of his ‘clan’, this is quickly curtailed by him being shot in the head and as a result half of his head explodes, plus lots of blood and gore. He is then seen in a half-seated position without the left portion of his head. One level in the game is based in a casino has all the accepted forms of games of chance, blackjack, poker, roulette, slot machines and a sundry other card games on which the player can place a bet. Although there is no instruction, there is plenty of encouragement. The casino level includes a brothel that is controlled by a ‘Madame’ and consists of several different rooms catering for all manner of tastes. In one room a male prostitute, wearing a pair of boxer shorts, rubs his groin vigorously and from the text it is obvious that he has an orgasm. In another room there is a tethered goat, nothing occurs, but the text provides guidance about the purpose of the goat. When a deal is struck with a prostitute, the scene turns black and there are noises associated with sexual activity.
