Fallout 2 - Low Intelligence Speech Checks

[@honpolyo]

that enclave guard was legitimately a good guy trying prevent the chosen one from putting him and his guys in a situation where they'd have to kill him.

[@Adrian2140]

Not exactly sure good guy is the best way to describe him. I think they were trying to establish a presence on the mainland. Constant patrols kill anyone that come close so when someone actually makes it there and survives to tell what they saw it sends a message - stay out. Either that or he just wanted to avoid writing action reports with everyone that approaches the gate.

Each game is a whole world. And it teachers the others how to make games. That's why I think it's worth the support. Sure, we'd face a problem of watching that the money isn't spent on cocaine instead of the actual work... But hey, Maecenas are free to pay the debts of the companies that actually reached something. That would make sense. So the games are not just a niche fun. They affect the world. Big studios like Rockstar develop serious simulators for military and government. That's more than just a silly fun now. It's a unique new way of applying everything we know. Seeing how many games now follow the post-apocalypse theme made popular by Fallout I think they owe Black Isle big time.

It's awesome how Hakunin just gives up on his shamanery and talks like a normal person when he knows the person he's speaking to is too dumb to get his shtick. Truly brilliant.

I love how the Elder is trying to slowly explain to the chosen one what to do on the oil rig, but, like... if the chosen one managed to get on the oil rig by some miracle, maybe they'll understand what to do next already.

[@nitrocharge2404]

The first two fallouts are worth playing for the dialogue alone

[@elementanimationnot]

My favorite one is with Torr. These actually made me laugh and don't feel too out of place, I wish the newer Fallout games could be as funny and creative as the originals.

[@captainjurgh8142]

0:21 The Chosen One was so slow the Guard was stumped to the point he forgot to use the next interface sprites.

I love how most characters infer you have the iq of a bowling ball as soon as you respond with "Uh?", like they're not even going to check if you are on drugs, in a fugue state, whatever, they're just like, "Nope, this guy is a mo-oron".

[@guardscorpionvii2684]

I love how gramma as made a speech spicily made for me incase i end up being the chosen one.

"That must be your IQ on your vault suit" Ouch

"Damn jarheads are gettin dumber by the hour" Never got that one before

[@gutrum_vagner]

Arroyo's elder is the best one. The way she repeats herself and talks slow. What makes it even better is that you are her child, and she is the daughter of the vault dweller from 1, so they had no choice in naming you the chosen one, even if you are mentally handicapped.

[@Comkill117]

I think my favorite part is when you talk to Torr and their version of the conversation is in parentheses.

theres something to fallout 2's voice acting quality that just really sounds nice, i dont know if its a form of compression, the people, the room that they were recorded in, i dont know but it just sounds really nice to the ears

[@Tt65374]

I feel the same and also can't quite tell what it is

[@motorpolitan8884]

It's like a milder version of the power armor voice in Fallout 4.

[@SirPootington]

7:36 has to be my favorite out of all of these "me want world peace" "you escaped for your stall, slave? maybe you better get your ass back upstairs before we put you in one of the cages." "ME WANT WORLD PEACE ME WANT WORLD PEACE" "(readies weapon) im gonna enjoy this.. i aint beaten a slave for at least an hour..." "(readies weapon) *im gonna enjoy this.. i aint killed no one for two days..."*

[@frankbalooga7263]

The Elder was actually really nice. She sounded like she really knew about your character's disabilities. What I don't understand is why they chose someone who had those disabilities.

[@ilyaanawrozi8394]

It's truly sad to see the low intelligence is genuinely met with hostility from the NPCs, making the game a lot harder. But then again all those skill points from INT went straight to strength and endurance with heavy-handed so the game becomes a whole other experience

[@nizzymo]

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough.

Look at these dialogues, Bethesda haven't writted a character with this much dimensions since Morrowind.

[@axel9473]

Oblivion had some pretty good ones, too. But yeah, after that they sure went downhill.

[@damianbrumfield3626]

Bethesda didn’t make this game.

[@Gustinelli]

@@damianbrumfield3626 I know, that's the point i'm making, the only game that can compare is Morrowind.

[@Eskimo_iio]

They have different priorities. Bethesda cares more about the gameplay loop, which isn't a bad thing.

[@ToweringPepsiMan]

Finally, a game where I can roleplay as myself.

[@bryantgrier2624]

[@KnightSlasher]

"That must be your iq on your vault shirt not your vault number" I'm dead already and it's the start of the video

[@Aardcore]

Everytime I tell people about how immersive, and literally game changing, the Fallout 1-Intelligence experience is, they can't believe it. After rehearing and seeing these interactions for the first time in years, neither can I lmaoooo this is so good. As far as I know, Fallout 1 or 2, as strange as it is sad, have never been considered candidates for the Hugo Award, and that is a downright shame in itself.
