Man its so cool how they put all these New Vegas references into Fallout 1

Fallout 1: serious dark horror
Fallout 4: yay, it’s disney land!!

I remember playing fallout 1 and 2 with my dad. He would sit me on his lap and every time he had to make a decision he would ask me what to do and he’d endeavour to replicate it in the game. Really shows the ingenuity of the developers that most of the time he could do pretty much anything I asked no matter how wacky. He also told me later that by following my instructions he discovered things about the game that he missed on his own playthroughs

Little thing I noticed: if you insult Junktown, Killian pretty much continues glaring at you for the rest of your future encounters with him, and I don't think he stops.

It has the best story and lore of any fallout game, that's for sure.

[sarifdeji]

immediately getting hit with that sweet sweet nostalgia kiss of the interplay logo/sound really made my brain chemically committed to this video, truly machiavellian editing, respect

Fallout 1's ending will stick with me forever as one of the best endings in gaming, having the bloody mess perk in that scene is the icing on the cake

Even nearly 30 years on hearing that Mark Morgan soundtrack that was explicitly designed to be "Something you hear, not listen to" is a chilling atmospheric masterpiece.
I am glad I grew up in those days of computer gaming - I've seen computer games go from a point where they couldn't manage parallax scrolling like consoles and arcade machines could to where we are today. It's been a wild ride.

It just goes to show that it's character and story depth that produce immersion, not graphics. Graphics, art, audio.. compliment it.

The 50’s retrofuturism aesthetic is there to highlight how completely ruined the world is in Fo1&2.
Crazy how hard that part flew over bethesdas head

Fallout 3 and New Vegas might have got me into Fallout but Fallout 1 and 2 are under appreciated and underrated masterpieces.

Cooper Howard is right, "Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time."

I played Fallout for the first time two weeks ago, and the most brutal and grim part was when I went to fight the raider camp with small weapons at 95%, a hunting rifle, 150 rounds, and 14 healing packs, and it happened to be at night and I had the night vision perk.
It felt like playing the Terminator in the police station. Or the ending of Taxi Driver, except that I barely got any injuries and was never really in danger. Just a giant masacre.

Fallout 1 was one of the greatest games of all time. It was RPG with a twist. No swords and sorcery, it was dark. Guns. Grit. Greatness. Nobody had seen anything like it, for the most part. It will always have a special place in my heart.

[deceiver]

The first Fallout truly is the best story wise, and by quite a long shot I'd argue. It had that extra bit of sheer bleakness that never was to be found in the following episodes.
And the Master remains one of the best and most disturbing villains in videogame history, especially if you manage to find/read all the documents detailing his unsettling transition from human to his horrendous final form.

The first two Fallouts have a reputation among people more used to the conveniences of modern RPGs that they’re very difficult and so many people won’t even touch them or drop them too soon, but I can tell you that as someone in my early 20s with little RPG experience beyond Pokémon, I was able to get into the games pretty easily and was able to figure most things out myself. I just had to look up the controls beforehand, and most of the only times I got stuck and had to look something up were because of having to pick up really tiny objects I couldn’t see and had to look up where they were.

[tanburiney]

Yeah it's brutal alright. Cuz I was killed by the weakest rat in the first 5 minutes of the game. Couldn't progress further. GG

I remember watching my dad play this when I was a kid. My mom would always be yelling in the background because she was drunk or not drunk enough...
Either way watching my dad play this was one of my few escapes during those days.
RIP Dad, see you in Vault 3-16. 😢

IIRC, there are options for doing the main quest line 'out of order'. You could skip a lot, get a water chip from under the cathedral and blow it up long before interacting with the other super-mutants. You can skip the Hub if you want.

[kristianbritton]

The one thing I loved most about the original fallout was how you could reason with the final boss and destroy him without a fight, one of the earliest games to do so
