MODERATORS
Lot of Fallout "fans" never played the classics
Myself, I've played every single Fallout games
Even the ones that aren't good
Especially the ones that aren't good
between Brotherhood of Steel and Tactics, which are you throwing in the heap of despair and which are you preserving?
Is it worth learning the retro style of the earlier games?
I'd say so
It's a little clunky and being directly inspired by Wasteland means it's deliberately antagonistic towards the player sometimes (don't pick Big Guns or Energy Weapons as a tag skill, put some points into them later)
But they're fondly remembered for a reason
They're good
First time I played 2 my tag skills were Energy Weapons, Science, and Repair
The Temple of Trials was not a good time
idk shit about fallout but that is almost exactly the list of weak skills in system shock 2 as well, what a weird coincidence
I played it recently using the mod Fallout Et Tu which is a nifty QOL mod which I can recommend even new players try, that virtually recreates the first game in the second games engine, which fixes a lot of the problems one might have with Fallout 1, like for instance without the mod if a companion or NPC box you into a corner you might just have to load a save if they don't move.
yes, but i'd recommend following a walkthrough if you stop having fun
I bought 1 and 2 when they were on sale. I tried 1 a couple of times. Never even bothered trying 2 after that.
