[@Mapocolops]

Hey everyone! Super, super excited to be diving into the very beginnings of the Fallout series, I've been looking forward to this for so long. Please remember this is a blind playthrough, so no spoilers or backseating! :) 7 days of Early Access is also available by supporting me directly on Patreon! Patrons are currently a few episodes ahead on this series and it's a lot of fun. patreon.com/mapocolops

[@MightyGames7]

now you're getting into the fallout series? actual walking w of a man

[@totalgarbage2053]

Excited for the playthrough!! I had a blast playing this for the first time last year. Figuring out how the HUD works in these old games is always the worst! Im sure you will understand by the next episode, it took me a long time to realize some of the stuff you can do in this game haha. Hope you enjoy the game Mapo! Seeing you remark on memorable aspects of the Bethesda titles is great, something I’ve had a lot of fun with is playing through the old games and seeing what Bethesda themselves referenced to build onto their own stories.

[@Kurahaara86]

This is great! The best and only advice I will offer is (unless solicited), save often and in different slots. The save file can get corrupted quite easily irc.

[@volourn9764]

Fallout. One of my favorite games of all times. But, as you clearly figured out it is definitely very archaic game control wise. This is a game that would could be improved by a remake IF they keep it turn based. Great first vid if it.

[@skyrimguy217]

If you want to look at your companions inventory, you have to steal from them but it doesn't count as stealing since their your buddy

[@Wynth]

I legit gasped in excitement and spun to my husband to exclaim what game you're playing. Sorry, I'm a lurker, but my love for this series and the fact FO1&2 usually gets skipped because of its age, I am definitely subbing officially. Thank you for playing this! I haven't even started the episode yet! XD

[@beepst]

Mapo never disappoints. Love this game.

[@Pelagion98]

Good god, Mapo. I am barely cathing up with DA2 and Papers Please, and you start another must-watch series!

[@clash5j]

Last time I played this was about 20 years. What memories! I'm sure you're going to love it, Mapo. I love that you are able to appreciate older games for what they were/are. So many gamers your age just can't be bothered with the old iconic games

[@tottalynotc]

So Deus Ex was also on the poll... Hope it also comes soon! Deus Ex is nothing short of a masterpiece

[@colinchildress1251]

What a hardcore playthrough this is going to be.

[@Berek71182]

At least high AGI and INT with a gifted build. So he got good chance to make it.

[@gar0th650]

Fallout 1's ambient music is so creepy and awesome, so glad they re-used alot of it for Fallout NV

[@skyrimguy217]

Yeah I mostly noticed the classic fallout music while in old world blues.

[@destinykazuya]

Welcome to one of the classic staples of the cRPG genre. I'm sure you'll have a blast with the storytelling and roleplay variety in this one and the sequel. Enjoy the ride, Vault Dweller, and may you never run out of bottle caps!

[@ghork3202]

Love that you're still getting into older games. Fun fact some of the developers from the original Fallouts went on to create Obsidian, you can recognize some of them in the opening credits.

[@volourn9764]

The main devs if Fallout went on to create Troika. They eventually got to O'Brian where they got to work on games that were 100x worse than FO.

[@SalesmanWave]

Well hot damn, I was NOT expecting this one. Fun fact, one that other people are inevitability going to mention, is that the 'talking heads' as they're referred to, are made using clay-mation

[@pissmilker2313]

Aren't the inkspots in the public domain? Edit: I just checked and the recording of the song "Maybe" that interplay used in the game intro and credits is indeed in the public domain.

[@KapitanWasTaken]

Where did you check it? From what I searched, "Maybe" as a recording recorded on the 11th of June, 1940, won't be in public domain until the 1st of January, 2041, due to the CLASSICS Act of 2018. Sure, maybe I got the wrong recording as they did multiple in 1940 with multiple artists. Still, all of them won't be in public domain until the 1st of January, 2041.

[@pissmilker2313]

@@KapitanWasTaken ah sorry I forgot about that recent BS legislation

[@lindseymick3843]

I have always wanted to see this game play-through thanks for letting me join you on this journey!

[@no1winz]

What a great surprise! Fallout 1 is such an amazingly fun game. Hope you enjoy yourself! Fallout 3 was also my first FO game, but 1 & 2 were a treat to play after FO:NV

[@msmknz]

So many amazing actors and voice actors in these first two games, Fallout 2 in particular makes a trekkies heart swell 🥰

[@baslifico]

I don't know why I didn't think of you for this series previously. Good choice, I'm looking forward to this.

[@Goobergurl]

Much love to you, and I cant wait to watch your playthrough! Im a young woman, and back in 2021 i got my first PC as a graduation gift. The first games i bought for it were actually Fallout 1 and 2! Fallout 1 was a blast for me, ans Ive finally gotten around to the 2nd game after 3 year LOL

[@rileyhopkins9940]

I was literally finishing your Stray playthrough yesterday and in the final episode you literally mentioned how you wanted to play Fallout 1. This is creepily coincidental, but I'm so happy!

[@killzone110ad]

Welp, some big tips that arent spoilers. This game has adventure game logic, random items without obvious use can be used for puzzles. Your skills can used outside of combat. Meaning, you click your skills list to use em in the world.

[@TheTsuryuu]

Oh my god, this has to be already my new favorite series on your channel! I love the series and 1 and 2 are the absolute best!

[@christianmiller0192]

Woah! I’m excited for this playthrough! I played this last year and it was a huge challenge, but I eventually got through it. Fallout 2 is next o my list. I loved the atmosphere in this game. The pre rendered graphics gives it such an ethereal, deeply nostalgic feeling. The atmosphere is a hell of a lot darker than the new Fallout games, but that’s what I loved about it!

[@muldoone6920]

My first fallout game was Fallout 3, however the first and second game were absolutely awesome in their own right. Low intelligence run is the funniest and still has its own advantages EDIT: ALL HAIL MAPOCOLOPS THE RAT SLAYER!

[@volourn9764]

Wait until he figures out that light also matters fir % espicially for long range attacks

[@unknowboy7189]

Fallout 3 was my first RPG i love Fallout so much.

[@jimbeer7390]

Fallout one is an old game and im here to give you a tip, if you want to trade with a companion then you can use the steal skill on them, i know its kinda counterintuitive but as long as you have a companion recruited and actively following you you can steal from them open there inventory and give and take items, GL on your journey

[@nyuszicsib]

Oh man....I always used the barter for that. Goddamn. :'D

[@BloodRedRook]

This brings back a lot of good memories! Looking forward to following you on this

[@shinobiigaming7733]

omg yess fallout series is so amazing im truly looking forward to this hopefully you play through them all

[@LuckbeaSladey]

Just put in my first couple hours in Fallout 1. Excited to play along!

[@Johnny_Sloth]

Yes! I'm so excited for this playthrough, Fallout's one of my favorite games ever!

[@JeanLucPicard85]

You did well with character creation, Gifted's a bit of a must have in old Fallouts as are Int and Agi. - You can manage companions' inventory via barter. - Right click on the weapon slot to reload and change attack modes. - Try to refrain from sprinkling skill points all over the place, that's a bad idea in pretty much every rpg and many skills in Fallout are of dubious use. Make sure you can actually hit stuff before experimenting too much. - You can restore hp just by passing time and while travelling. You can use the First Aid and Doctor skills on yourself to restore hp, helps if you have actual medical items but they work somewhat even without. - The book you found increased your Outdoorsman skill. - Shady Sands is kind of an important town, try to remember it for the distant future.

[@volourn9764]

There are must have traits. But, yeah, if you dintbhave at least decent aging combat is gonna be ouch. High int certainly beneficial but isn't absolutely necessarily. Good post.

[@THEhelloinsanity]

in b4 all the people inevitably complaining about how the game is being played🙃

[@tooth1539]

The comment section, much like war, never changes.

[@totalgarbage2053]

Something I’ve learned is that there really is no right or wrong way to play Fo1 or Fo2. They’re such well designed games you can beat them with any build or any playstyle. Anyone who’s complaining are just pathetic. It’s a fuckin RPG for a reason

[@awildridehome9469]

Mapo is, honestly, extremely good at reading all the lore, exhausting dialogue and generally which will go a long way in the old true RPGs that Fallout 1 and 2 are. I’m not too worried.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

For FO1 and 2 im more forgiving than a lot of other games, it is damn hard to know wtf to do your first time playing these.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Also best part is 95% of the complainers probably havent actually played FO1 or 2

[@TasteTheWine.]

21:17 Character Creation Fun! I played the heck out of this when it came out. I loved it so much.

[@volourn9764]

Early Fo Series + early BG series were a heck of combo back in the mid to late 90s.

[@djflick8631]

Omg this is ganna be great I used to play this so much as a kid can’t wait go mapo go!!! Fallout 2 will take you a year to see all its content btw

[@morganherbert1395]

Damn this is wild. Genuinely looking forward to this

[@tricksterzyro3230]

I can't wait to see your reaction to things that would be mentioned and referenced in later games!

[@Corvin_]

Really interesting, Ive never thought of playing this for some reason but I cant wait to watch this playthrough.

YESSS THE RAT PUNCHING EPISODE

[@volourn9764]

RAT DIPLOMACY!!!

[@ringer1324]

Actually just finished this game for the first time a few weeks ago on Pc game pass. Always been a fallout fan but never played the originals. So it’s cool to finally have one of these series where I can fully relate to your playthrough. Recently experiencing an classic game as well instead of watching play a classic game I’m super familiar with or have never played.

[@volourn9764]

If you haven't played the originals you aren't a fan of Fallout. You're a fan of Bethesda. They're completely different games despite the shared game world. That's not an insult; just truth. I love the early Fallouts, Fo:NV was playable. The two Bethesda ones were awful.

[@dsilvermane_]

This is indeed special. I haven't played the originals myself so I'll be playing along 🥳 Edit: is it just me or do the character animations look like claymation?

[@randomcookieboy]

They ARE claymation! It’s an old technique called “Talking Heads” where indie studios made characters heads out of clay and animated them because it offered a lot more detail for cheaper than actually animating them

[@FloofersFX]

@@randomcookieboy man, that's hella interesting, I didn't know that. Thought the only olden claymation I've seen was Neverhood, but this makes a whole lot of sense, seeing it with this info in mind!

[@dosnostalgic]

@@FloofersFX The description isn't very accurate. The sprites you see in the game are 3D renders. Only the close-up faces of the voiced characters you meet throughout the game were sculpted in clay. They weren't animated in clay. The clay heads were "scanned" (not the same process as today, but the same result) and turned into 3D models, and then painted & animated in 3D modeling software afterwards.

[@FloofersFX]

@@dosnostalgic thanks for more info, this stuff is fascinating

[@yaqubebased1961]

Is your pfp Mapo in elden ring?

[@theonlyambi]

cant say i expected this series but I'm definitely not disappointed!! my second favorite game series ever, right behind deus ex, which seems to have lost on that poll. gonna have to join the patreon so that I can hopefully sway the vote next time :D

[@stephenl2571]

I suck so much at this game. I’m a hardcore fan from 3-76 but these are extremely hard. I just keep dying like 10 minutes after leaving the fault lmao. I accidentally stumbled on the trailers on my 360 store page. Watched the trailers and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. I feel like I’ve spent half my life playing a fallout game 😂

[@luchaluchalucha]

Ive only played fallout 2 but i was pleasantly suprised i could still get into it the same way

[@KeytarArgonian]

I love how the kamikaze Trait gives Vault Boy a wolverine Haircut 😂

[@James-fs4wr]

Very excited for this play through, you managed to make a great build, Agility gifted and intelligence are really important so is small guns and speech. Afterwards you should check out Fallout 2 and Planescape Torment. Planescape Torment is very simaliar to Kotor 2 in philosophy and it’s very word heavy. It was the main inspiration for Disco Elysium and it was written by Chris Avellone who was involved in Fallout 1 and he was the main writer for Fallout 2 and Kotor 2.

[@Sn33t]

Yeah Mapo, i would love to see you enjoy the Story of the unnamed in Planescape Torment

[@volourn9764]

It is really hard make a 'bad' build in FO.

[@yewtewbstew547]

@@volourn9764 Yeah true, as long as you can kill stuff it will work out lol.

[@volourn9764]

@yewtewbstew Though early on could be rough espicially as mapo just found in episode 3 the raiders who are the first real tough battle set piece.

[@Cbrunning849]

I'm pumped you're doing the first fallout. I would also suggest fear and hunger but this is gonna be great

[@jimbeer7390]

Fear and hunger would be great, is it youtube friendly? Maybe with a little censoring

[@Cbrunning849]

@@jimbeer7390 There's a guy named Graeme games who did it a few years back and it's still up. Would probably have to do a little warning though

[@bnkosu]

Like Mapo, Fallout 3 was my introduction to the Fallout universe. Having now been versed in all things Fallout, Fallout: New Vegas stands tied with the Witcher 3 as my favorite game of all time. Microsoft are true fools if they never allow Obsidian to continue their original west coast iteration of Fallout.

[@anothergerloffs9319]

You are my fave lets play channel dude, keep it real

[@ChristianBChr]

Super excited for this! I know you're being super careful about muting copyrighted music, but I don't think it's needed for these ol' classics! :O I think they're so old that they're in the public domain

[@olivierannaert7603]

biggup to the second one !

[@Pawlacz2137]

I know we are far from second one, but I HIGHLY reccomend to play second game with killap's restoration mod. Also I hope you will enjoy first one. It's fantastic. So dark, fantastic, serious story, great turn based gameplay. This game is a masterpiece.

[@cycleoffire2220]

yeah, restoration mod is vital for full experience, so much cool cut content in there!

[@volourn9764]

Blind plsythroughs shouldn't be using mods. It's not needed, and obscures the gane in its original glory - flaws and all.

[@grapeape325]

I'm here for it!

[@SerHenkan]

Heck YEAH! Fallout 1! I played this back when I was a tiny teenager in the late 90s, and have loved this game ever since. It's got flaws, it's clunky in parts, but it manages to do a lot of things VERY right to balance it up. Will follow your playthrough intensely!

[@volourn9764]

If Beth had the guts they'd remake this but keep it turn based but they won't.

Whaaat?! Mapo playing Fallout 1? Hell, yeah!

[@hoofhearted4]

i cant get into these early games, but im such a fallout fan, that i really wanna see it, so here i am. I was the same as you. I had never heard of Fallout until FO3 (PS3 for me). I remember seeing the trailers when it was announced on G4TV, and I thought it was so cool. And playing, I loved the lore, the 50s feel, the music, the fact I had been to DC as a kid and could recognize some placed, and the gameplay and fell in love. I actually hated NV when it came out because it was none of that. it was country music (hate country music), no 50s feel, deserts, just didnt click. I never could go back to NV after FO4 launched because it was dated, until recently when I finally gave it a go. I played FO3 first again, then NV, and I can wholeheartedly say, its the best FO game (of the new ones), by far. FO3 didnt age well, and FO4, while newer and shinier, is much more shallow than FONV. While i did replay FO4 again in my little run, I'd go back to NV before going back to 4 again.

[@michaelspurgeon8093]

You're doing great on the combat system man, Ive never played a game with combat or controls very similar to fallout 1/2, and though really good it takes some getting used to, and can feel clunky. Game's old and was very much doing it's own thing.

[@RisqueBisquet]

Oh my. So, I've never played the original Fallouts either, but I DO remember that when Fallout 3 came out it made a bit of a stir among fans. Why? Because the retro-future angle was something newly added in the third game! Prior to this, there was no 1950s styling going on. Instead, the dominant themes here are hot off the heels of the cold war. 1997 is far away enough from the reunification of Berlin but the possibility and horrors of nuclear annihilation was still very much something hovering in the greater zeitgeist. So sadly, no Elvis impersonators or roller-skate diners for you! However I've heard plenty about the strength of the writing and characters (and some of the much less desirable gameplay elements). Looking forward to seeing it with you!
