Wasteland 2 Roleplay ideas

[psychotron666]

So yeah i wanted to start a thread where people can post roleplay ideas for the initial 4 man team in Wasteland. I wanna start a new file and make a new team, but im having a hard time thinking of a sweet roleplay idea for a team.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a group of monks that all use brawling and have different auxillery skills, or something like that.

I don't care about practicality, i just want something that would be cool, and possibly add another challenge to the game.

I was gonna create the A team, BA baracus, Murdock, Hannibal and Face. There's one good idea i was thinking of.

But something like that is what im looking for, post some ideas for a team that could be cool and or funny, share some ideas and give someone an incentive to start another play through.

my first run was standard and. my 2nd team was a homemade one:

tiny tina (:P), explosives , heavy weapons and shotguns (all the grenades and explosives i could find), based on the borderlands girl. roleplayed just as crazy (i let that one dance through minefields while throwing dirty grenades, when she cant see em to dismantle em).

Dr. Moscow, extreme high science, and energy weapons only. smokes coffin nails and is ofcoarse russian, tough as nails as well and uses blunt weapons as secondary. goes drooling over any tech, and prefers to hijack enemy robots over shooting them (i try to do this ingame any time)

Pillz E, crazy medic, can heal anything but took a bit to much of his own medicine, talks to animals and uses submachine guns and assault rifles. i let aberforth the goat follow him throhout the wastes, a real pain keeping a 1hp goat alive i tell ya.

Mr. Steel, your average joe workshop guy, the teams sniper secondary is a handgun, roleplaying and ingame besides the sniper hes the traveling handyman. he is basically the sane one... keeps his distance, asks questions when needed and shoots when needed, often outpaced by the others...


next up... the fragasses, 1 till 4, shoot first ask questions later, 1 slightly sane boss and 3 stupid henchmen, kill on sight XD.

anyways, what your playstyle?
if you knwo that you can think some characters on that, or if you want crazy think clowns (not literally but so to speak), want insane? think chaotic and base characters around those principels...

Nice ideas man, that already gave me a ton of ♥♥♥♥ to go off of (ill change it up a bit probably, but some good starting points for a fun team), thanks. My playstyle is pretty standard really, came from a background of rpg games like these so i know how they work and can usually adjust my playstyle to adapt to the game, so i can really go any way in that regard. I do a wide range of characters in RPGs, so i just wanted a good roleplay idea for a team that i can invest some time into, get behind their motives and ♥♥♥♥ and just make a fun playthrough like that.

Well I made Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead as my team's leader Chris Kyle as my sniper, Nyko from the 100 as my healer and Jaha also from the 100 as my melee strong fighter. Try something like that.

Ah nice, the 100 is a pretty sick show, didnt even think about a character ideas drawn from that. Who's Nyko by the way, is that Lincoln's friend the healer dude? Jaha is a pretty sweet character, especially in that last episode, i might make someone based off him too.

I just made my new team. I got the leader, Jaha, a guy who has all his points in leadership and smart ass and charisma, has no weapon skills or anything else to start with (has a decent intelligence so im gonna give him a few auxillery skills, maybe pistols as well, we'll see).

Jaha is a "righteous" charismatic leader that believes the ends justify the means. He's also technically insane, and lots of his acts can be considered evil, but it's for the greater good. He is Chaotic Neutral.

Then we got Doctor H. Mobius (H stands for Heisenberg). He's got an IQ of over 260, but he's also completely insane in every meaning of the word. He's a mad scientist, uses Energy weapons, computer science and surgeon to start (has a 10 intelligence so he will get lots of skills). He will also use grenades, dynamite and explosives like crazy. He is also chaotic neutral.

Then is Big Vlad. He's the big russian enforcer, with a 10 strength and uses blunt weapons (starting weapon is a barb wire wrapped baseball bat), brute force and field medic. He is the strong silent type, with no moral qualms about doing a job and will do anything for money, especially if it means breaking someone's legs. He is Neutral Evil.

And Finally, Lucretia Shewolf. She is a badass hitman that kills people for money. She uses Assault rifles and Submachine guns, as well as field medic, and is the only real good gun fighter of the group. Lucretia is feared by all in the wasteland, anyone who had met her and survived, that is. She is also Neutral evil.

So I'm playing an insane neutral/evil party, gonna make the game hard as hell, but it's gonna be fun.

I think when i get back to the citadel, Doctor Mobius might look into digging up Ace's grave for scientific expiriments, we'll see how that goes.

if you play like a complete jackss there is a alternative ending just for that, kill everyone in sight has a bonus going for that at least :P.

i say go for it. dont be the nice goody 2 shoes ranger for a change XD

ps, and see a team isnt that ahrd, just follow your... in this case insane thoughts :D

[givemeanamedammit]

You could try teams based on 80's action films.

For example, the Predator team:

Dutch - assault rifles, leadership

Blane - heavy weapons

Billy - AR's, outdoorsman

Hawkins/Poncho - SMG's

Mix in other skills as required, depending on ag centre/highpool choices etc

[TITOMOSQUITO187]

I want to play as a Gentleman Scientist with leadership and talkign skills who runs a lab in which things against the law in research are actually suggestions for potential research. The 3 others will be exact duplicate clones. Either crazy knife nurses from Silent hill, 3 human/animal hybrid creations with super speed of cheetahs and a taste for flesh, or all Frankensteins with SMASH strength. I would love it if I could lead my 3 clones around on leashes as well. XD
