People really are afraid of Fallout 1 & 2's age, it seems. But they are still the best.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Btw those are also on sale. Steam has a Fallout Classics bundle with FO1, FO2, and FO Tactics for $5

I got that free game from Epic a while back: Encased. It took the isometric gameplay/feel from the first 2.5 fallout games and modernized them pretty well. I haven't finished it (my character is a psychic god. it's fun, but I've kind of lost the thread of the story. I think I'm in act 3 or something) but a mod porting FO1 or FO2 to that engine would be sweet.

It's less the age and more that they just plain don't play well. They always feel like you're supposed to be in control of a full party but you never are, even once you finally get companions they're AI controlled (and it's not even a good AI).

I never had this feeling. It's an RPG, I can build and control only my character

[–] ahornsirup@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

It's fairly common for CRPGs to give you full control over your party and their builds. I'm pretty sure you could in the original Wasteland (I'll admit I never played it), which was a game that heavily influenced Fallout.

I really didn't like one element in Fallout 1: the fact that it has a timer on the game.

Fallout 1 spoilerYou need to get the water chip before your Vault dies from lack of water. No other game in the series does this; it was a common source of complaint.

For an open-world game, it's nice to have time to spend wandering around. I'm not saying that it's not realistic, just that I didn't like having to worry about that.

I have a space in my heart reserved for Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. :')
