2 was a lot more fun to me.
It wasn't as stingy with its grinding opportunities, it was bigger and it had more humour.

I'd be careful with that. You're likely todragsaw said:
Go with Fallout 1, see if it's your thing, and then go for Fallout 2.
No point starting with 2 if you might not like it.

Fallout 1 has better main storyline, but 2 has more of everything. There's also the Restoration Project for 2 that brings back a lot of the cut content (and has some optional mods/tweaks), which I like a lot.
I guess if you want more of a sandboxy type RPG with more stuff, go with 2. If you want a more focused story, 1 is better. The first game is also a lot easier to get into, so it might be the better choice anyway.

Back in the days? Fallout 1, easier to get into, more focused storylines, more streamlined while still retaining that cooky, quirky open-world gameplay we all love.
Fallout 2 was (and as i've stated and will again, i love this game today) buggy,unfinished, prone to crashing and unfinished with a LOT of cutout items, among them unfiinshed storylines and removed solutions to the game
HOWEVER. A beautifull,wonderfull man named Killapp has worked dilligently for years and gotten it all back together, and working. Adding several quests, a lot of characters,a lot of animations and proper endings.The game doesn't crash anymore (played 25 hours time two and it hasn't crashed once) and a lot of disabled endings are enabled again. And it brought back the replay value that i think is more varied than in the first one. Giving a lot of nuances to you're gameplay not merely a good/bad/all dead jim endings.
He took a half made coal loaf and gave us diamonds.
But regardless of my sujective gushin. Odds are you're going to want to mod the game whichever you buy. So i'd like to refer you to

A lot of mod, a lot of love, and a lot of good information.
I hope you enjoy the game despite it's age, let it be your patient game-Milf teaching you....
that ended on a low note. Bad analogy.....

Same only I got killed by a rat.PreviouslyPwned said:I tried playing Fallout 1 quite recently, but I had no idea what to do and was killed by the first dude I found.
Guess I'm doing something wrong
Probably invested in a socially active character, if you die immediately out of the vault, here's my pro-tip. Go in again, and go to floor 2, theres a gun there. some ammo, and a knife. Not everybody knows you can go back inPreviouslyPwned said:Yeah, it was a rat that killed me too. I was just too ashamed to say it.Godofgame67 said:Same only I got killed by a rat.PreviouslyPwned said:I tried playing Fallout 1 quite recently, but I had no idea what to do and was killed by the first dude I found.

WTH am I doing wrong?
sorry if you knew.
THat in a ´nutshell is one of the biggest point of critique against F1 it's more difficult to play a Social/INT char, which is (according to one of the devs) the idea, they wanted to clear out the gene-pol in the vault so the big/dum person got sent out, according to one version anyway ^^
Well ys, as with all hate it is a pretty subjective matter. And i think that in this case it's about brand pandering. Hate is an easy bandwagon to get on, free drinks, hugs and a sense of belonging included and all that jazz.Adamc-mh said:
For me? (i'm ONLY tralking about me here, as someone who played ALL fallouts when they were released ) It was as much about brand handling and corporate management of the label as about the game. I won't deny i had fun in F3, but it didn't really have that Fallout feeling about it. But i was still glad to have 3-d fallout oblivion mod.
Then came New vegas and was well for me, the writing was up to scratch and it had a good feeling of coherency (except for those bloody railroading mechanics, keeping me from going where iwanted, but i saw these as rules to be challenged, but i can see them as cheesy too)
but as i said, one mans chit for happiness is one mans shit of crapiness.
But in the second one if you fail at one dialogue in the beginning and you don't have good combat skills you're automatically dead. In the first one all you have to do is clear out some rats, and then you're good, at least for a while.keiji_Maeda said:
In the second my easiest playthrough was as a social characater though, with maxed out science. That was pretty cool.
I'd get the first one. It's the first in the series, the second one has a lot of references to it, you'll meet characters from the first, you'll see places from the first changed and you won't get as much of an introduction to the world. And your character in the second one makes a lot less sense. (I'd get the second one too, and play through that several times as well, and then I'd get Fallout Tactics despite it being slightly worse, but still fun (if in another genre of game), and then I'd reluctantly play the third one and Obsidians game, and be sad and miss the real Fallout games, because sure, they're not entirely horrible, but it's just not Fallout).
Fallout 1. Definitely 1. Simple plot, and just plain fun.
As for the F3/FNV debate - FNV had more content, more significant choices, better DLC, and was actually made by original F1/F2 dev team members, and is a lot closer to the original for me.

Fallout 2. More options, better gameplay, hilarious dialogue, awesome characters, fun(and unlike FO1, less broken) combat, and to top it off it has smarter and stronger teammates who actually can hold their own and won't shoot you(often).
