+TheBunkoman I'll throw in my two cents here. Fallout 3 was my first. It definitely sucks. I played New Vegas and it wasn't long before I realized how much more freedom it offered and how well written it was. Then I went and played the first game. The excuse of "Ur stuck in the past!!11" is bogus.

Really humble and thoughtful person. Among the things I learned from this presentation, what surprised me the most was that S.P.E.C.I.A.L. was not conceived as a backronym? What? They just picked out seven skill names and they just discovered that they could rearrange the order to spell out special? That is amazing! And truly "special"!

the timer gives the game a sense of dread and urgency which is very fitting. and the number of days are more than enough. also you can increase day number if you talk to the Water Merchants to establish a water caravan. the time pressure makes the player to use his brain and use common sense.

Part of what makes Fallout works is its strange gallows humor. I'd go as far as to say it reminds me very strongly of Dr. Stranglove and its Black Comedy, which I almost thought directly inspired Fallout. It's the end of the world thanks to nuclear war, people are on the edge of extinction, and the only way to keep going and happy is to see the ironic humor in death and destruction.

The franchise as a whole has embraced its lighter side, but the first installment was quite gloomy and bleak, and largely played the premise straight. I will say that the single most effective motif in the series is the contrast between the cheery optimism of Vault Boy, with the whole idyllic mid-20th century American cultural milieu, and the bleak post apocalyptic landscapes of series present timeline. The first two games, as well as the rest of the series, nailed the juxtaposition between 1950s retro-futurism and nuclear horror. That aspect of the franchise alone is what I believe certifies it as a truly first rate exercise in genuine science-fiction.

***** I do love that pic...and will admit that some of the final plot was a bit screwed up, but the rest of the game was pretty spot on as far as questlines and story goes. The whole Col Autumn, couldn't get Fawkes to go into the reactor, President Eden just a computer personality with zero power thing was twisted and not implemented into th eplot well...but no more twisted that the Master storyline and the fallout games like to make the protagonist someone whose story is pretty much over at the end of the game, at least from an adventuring standpoint. I think they really just didn't want the next protagonist to run into the Lone Wanderer since I am pretty sure they already knew where they were going to put Fallout 4 before the final release of Fallout 3...and DC isn't very far from Boston. Cheap cop out either way, but I stand by 99% of the Fallout 3 game being quite excellent and very true to the feel and premise of the universe as a whole.

Games like Jagged Alliance and X-com ruled for that reason as every shot could be a 5sec to 3 minute decision depending on the situation. Fallout followed the flock basically as it was a very good way to program all the calculations. For gods sake, they for example had to move every person living in a town if you attacked. No hardware could of handled it real time.

I didn't know there was a patch that took out the timer. I played the game a couple years after it released, and i definitely remember playing with the time limit on the water chip in place, I got a game over to it once. I guess back in those days the internet was relatively new, and if a game had post release patches, you had to seek them out, and there was no way to know if one had released other than either looking it up or hearing about it from someone. There was no steam to passively receive updates to games. Pretty interesting that I somehow never knew about that.

The problem with repayability for me is I tend to play one way and then I'm done. The beauty of it all is I still haven't played Fallout 2--thanks GoG for the freebies!!!!. And I hear Fallout 3 New Vegas was really good. Fallout has a mystique. If you want old games go to GOGcom. They got them all almost! But they don't have fallout games anymore. It switched owners.

See, the vision statement says it all. Although I commend Bethesda for the advances they made to Fallout and its engine, the fact that their philosophy with killing children is in direct contradiction of the original fallout vision statement, shows how casual and diluted the series has become. I'm not condoning the murder of children in real life, but I am defending the idealistic purity of player freedom. And I understand that there are mods for that, but, in my opinion, the mods should be the other way around, mods that make children invulnerable. I also understand that the ESRB penalizes that in games but that just adds to my argument that mass media has casualized the gaming industry. Still, Even with the quirks and glitches and faults with the games, it cannot be forgiven without the sense of freedom from the base game. Take Fallout 4 for example. In my opinion, they took five steps forward in gameplay, but ten steps back in player freedom. Just one of many examples of this, the dialogue system is over simplified, to say the least. There is no room to be evil, or as evil even for the Bethesda made Fallout 3! Sorry for the rant, just had to be said...

Fallout was never a realistic series, but within its sci-fi reality, things meshed well together. It was plausible. Fallout 3 world crumbles under its own weight. It's a game with vampires, towns built on functional nuclear bombs, people instantly converting to ghouls after nuclear explosions, children surviving direct nuclear blasts, cars that noone looted in 200 years FO:NV isn't plausible either (cowboy robots? clean clinics?), but at least the dialogue isn't below 3rd-grader level anymore.

And you're right, it all comes down to taste. There are many people who can't tell cake from cake-flavored manure, however those of us who can, have the right to point out the difference. Taste evolves. And there is always hope that the manure eaters eventually had enough, and demand something more.

No. Interplay claims that it’s lost and unaccounted for, for both titles.

@shihonage Hey man, I really, really love Fallout 1 and 2, two especially, but when Interplay sold the rights to Bethesda I genuinely thought that were other developers who could've done a MUCH worse job. Could you imagine Fallout a modern FPS under activision? I thought F3 was genuinely good, and a commendable job by a different company.

It would still be a great game, but the atmosphere wouldn’t be as palpable. Some of his pieces for the game are so unnerving that I get just a little bit skittish when playing it at night.

It's not bad, it's just that the first two Fallout games featured an isometric...cavalier oblique view and it worked better. Also, they were turned based games, and were more than just post-apocalyptic Oblivion. And hell, I love Fallout 3 and New Vegas (more), but the first two games are the best Fallout games, and by the looks of it they'll remain in that position for a long time. But hey, we're getting Wasteland 2!

I think the biggest flaw of Bethesda is... their motto and kindness. They want to make games which everybody can do what they want. So the main idea is tired man returns from job seats in chair turn on game and kills guy who looks like his boss. But if you do it in Fallout there are consequences of those actions. I saw people who hated NV because "there aren't evil stuff" but this evil is "slavery (outside the Pitt I have never met slave)" or Bombing town for fun. I todays world it is illogical.

"... [Fargo] has a lot of positive qualities." That statement is simultaneously kind & brutal 😂 I guess that's one of the perks to having high int; you can speak in many layers; like a composite/hypostasis.
