You don't have to, of course, but having a written paragraph or two, as well as hand-crafted motivations, Wasteland suggests, will help tie you to the world and your team of avatars. You can (and probably should) come up with your own backstories and use those to build out your squad. You are, from the start, invited to craft your own troop of folks with whom you will travel the wastes. For some, that might be a turn-off, but Wasteland 2 embraces it.
While that sounds counterintuitive in a video game, it pays dividends in the actual role-playing: It gives you the ability to further refine your squad and encourage yourself to think a bit outside the box as you work around the traits. Perks and Quirks, for instance, give you the option to swap a boon for some persistent disadvantage.
The bigger additions are the smoother graphical presentation as well as having more minutiae with which to customize your characters. There are thousands of lines of added spoken dialogue, but the text still does most of the heavy lifting. The Director's Cut, an updated release that was a free upgrade for most console players, is the edition getting the Switch treatment. Several years after its release, it's coming to Switch, and even now it's among the best in the recent roleplaying crop. Taking lots of inspiration from tabletop RPGs, Wasteland 2 masterfully brings the best bits of open-ended roleplaying games to the digital realm, bringing the genre's hallmark nuanced scenarios, deep roleplaying, and rich, atmospheric description along. One of the most beautiful facets of Wasteland 2 is its wistful, austere writing.
