Brian Fargo from InXile Entertainment talked to Craig Stern at IndieRPGs.com: http://indierpgs.com/2012/06/intervi...h-brian-fargo/

A quote then on what Wasteland 2 is:

For those of us who've been hiding in a fallout shelter since February: what is Wasteland 2?

Wasteland 2 is the sequel to the godfather of post apocalyptic RPGs and the inspiration for Fallout. The first game was a party based RPG with an open sandbox type world that had tremendous world depth and plenty of moral dilemmas. It was a game that allowed you to play the way you want and didn't try to act pretentious. And it is time for a sequel.

First, some background: where did you get the idea for the original Wasteland?

My two favorite things back in the day was Dungeons and Dragons and The Road Warrior. I had just come off the success of Bard's Tale with that satisfied my D&D scratch so next I wanted to do something in the post apocalyptic setting. I put a great team together on the writing side and used a skills based system that was influenced by an old paper and pen RPG called Mercenaries Spies and Private Eyes. I really like the way skills were used and saw it as a new way to open options up.
