I went back to play the two DLCs one year after finishing the game and I instantly remembered why I loved Wasteland 3 in the first place. This has the same funny, zany writing, with just the right balance of crazy lore and real world issues. I took the pacific route, and while I admit that it wasn’t as fun as going guns blazing, it let me approach the situation with the empathy and rationale I thought it demanded. There are multiple endings and different ways to reach them, and that’s not always the case for a short DLC like this. There’s also a lot of references to things you might’ve done in the main campaign or even in previous games — inXile continue to prove why they’re the kings of reactivity with this DLC, and I’m very excited to dive into the next soon.
