Poll: Fallout 1, 2 or Tactics

Fallout 2: The game where every single encounter could be your death. I wasn't that much of a fan of that but it's also the game where you can do pretty much what you want roleplaying wise.

I was too weak to beat the slavers one on one so I talked my way into the premises, locked the rest of the guards out, seduced their leader, murdered him on the spot, and sniped several waves of guards from the window in their former employer's bedroom.

But of course you could also join the slavers, sell your party members to the slavers, bribe them... just about anything. And that was back in 1998. I wish I would have been able to play it back then.

Tactics was fun, but it wasn't really a RPG..

im trying 2 play 2 now but i just can get into it.. the combat is awful early ob.

The combat is always awful, it goes from awful constantly dying to one shotting virtually everything except when they get a critical hit on you which one shots you.

Fallout 2: The game where every single encounter could be your death.

Especially from your own party members if you were stupid enough to give them automatic weapons.

I like all three, but it order of preference I would rank them as:
Fallout 2 - just a great and immersive RPG experience. Utterly epic.
Fallout Tactics - much maligned but (I think) pretty damn sturdy strategy adventure. Fallout meets U.F.O - how can that be a bad thing?
Fallout 1 - still a great RPG, but the time limit kinda screwed with my enjoyment of it.
