==Gameplay==
Since the game using the same engine as Paradox, the core mechanic including the shooting are heavily borrowed into the game. But unlike Paradox, the RPG elements are much deeper with emphasis of on the tree-skill based "/Survival Aptitude System/", which encompass attribtues such as Strenght (ST), Motorics (MT), Perception (PE), Charisma (CH), and Fortune (FO), in which these attributes will affect the player's characters and gameplay styles and these attribute can be upgraded as the player leveled up.
The Dialogue system of Wastebound refined into seven main options (Occasionally six plus one choice lead to more dialogue options) and every dialogues affects the game's NPC and factions as well as your reputations.
At the beginning of the Game, Player can choose their gender; Male (voiced by Chris Pratt) or Female (voiced by Charlize Theron) and then customize their appereances ranging from hairstyle to even change their face with powerful sculpting tool to able to make their dream character as accurate as they can be.
Faction system are one of the most prominent feature in the gameplay and it drastically change how the world view you if you join on of the factions. Every Faction in the Wasteland are either forging alliances or go to war with one another (e.g if the player join Faction A, Faction A allied with Faction B yet is at war with Faction C. automatically Faction A (and in some extend Faction B) would treat them nicely while Faction C will turn Hostile towards the players).
Player can also recruit Companion called "Friends" in-game, and each one of them have their own unique personality and will response and comments on Player's action and the world around. Some Companion like the player to behave nicely while some others are love to see the player doing mischievous thing in the wasteland in order to increase and keep their relationship level high. Failed to do so will result the Companion to distance themselves from the player and lower their relationship level. If the Player's relationship level toward the companion is lower, they can be winned over by doing things that pleases them, thus increasng their relationship level again.
