    it's the best one

    The writing in Fallout 1 isn't actually as good as people think it is. It's the retroactive impact of Fo2 that makes people assume the OG Fallout games have great writing, but it's partially an illusion.
    Fo1 has one or two great moments - the Master in particular is rightly remembered as a fantastic villain, with both great writing and presentation, but outside of him and maybe the leader of the Mutan base, the rest is kinda shallow and just silly.
    The world has FANTASTIC atmosphere, but does not have much depth, and the game is also actually quite small and short.

    It's a great little game, and a fantastic primer for Fo2. I always play both games back to back for the best experience.
    But a lot of what people praise it for is actually just Fo2's influence.

      But I prefer Fallout 1 to 2

        OK?

        I loved Fallout 1 but got maybe halfway through Fallout 2 before I got bored and never finished

        Fo2 is literally just more and (mostly) better Fallout 1. Maybe you got bored of the formula. It makes sense - Fo1 can be finished in like 15 hours easily, while Fo2 is a MONSTER in size and content. If you aren't entirely on board with the gameplay or themes, I can easily see Fo2 exhausting you and losing your interest.
        You can spend more time exploring New Reno alone, than you spend exploring the entirety of Fo1.

            You can absolutely rush the game in that time, but you'd be skipping on majority of the stuff in the game.
            You can also finish Morrowind in under 4 hours, but what is the point of playing games like that?

            Fallout 2's world is just not as interesting as Fallout 1's. The writing is worse.

            >Fallout 2's world is just not as interesting as Fallout 1's. The writing is worse
            That is objectively false. Firstly, Fallout 2's world is fundamentally concieved as a system - a world where each individual elements exists being defined by it's relationship to other elements. Fo1 still has a very theme-park structure - a bunch of individual locations with a funny theme existing almost in vacuum to the rest.
            Fo2 does not work like that, the world is dramatically more complex. Each location also has much stronger and more nuanced themes.

            Finally, both in numbers, and in personal complexity, the character writing in Fo2 is leagues above Fo1. There are more people with more complex motives and stronger individual characterization. The dialogue also has a lot more flare.

            Objectively, that constitutes superior writing.

            wrong. fo1 is much better. much less goofy writing like native tribal mysticism shit out of nowhere, chosen one that can mind read messages from miles away, pop culture references out the ass, and also fo1's world is better.

            I'm starting to seriously suspect none of you actually played any of the Fallout games.

                Are you high? Fo2's world is literally entirely about politics and economics. It's a fight between three major political bodies manipulating minor locations under their influence due to presence of strategic resources.
                The frick are you smoking?

                No, you can do ALL the content in Fallout 2 in 15 hours, excluding mutually exclusive stuff. It's a small game. Your first playtrhough of Fallout 2 will be much longer because it does a very poor job of guiding the player, but fundamentally there's not a lot of content in the game. Fallout 1 just has even less

                Yes, I always consider that possibility.
                However, you are claiming that Fo2 is a small game where you can see all content in 15 hours. Fo2 features location called "New Reno". It's admitedly the most fleshed out location in the game, but not by that much.

                New Reno features six mafia families. Bishops, Mordins, Salvatores, VanGraffs, and two other I can't remember the name off right now.
                Four of these can be joined. Each feature at least 4 hours of their own quest lines. You can't even complete all these quests, because with each, final two quest lines require you to antagonize the other families, preventing the ability to switch between them.

                There is AT LEAST 15 hours worth of content in New Reno ALONE. Obviously, if you know exactly what to do, don't read anything and speedrun, you can cut that down to minimum, but that is hardly an argument. Speedrunning isn't a relevant measurement of game's content.

                No, I'm not wrong. You are making shit up.

                Fallout 2's world is literally a series of theme parks
                >This is le casino town
                >This is le slavery town
                >This is le spooky haunted farm town
                >This is le nuclear power plant populated by zombies town
                The towns in Fallout 1 are not so sharply distinguished from one another. Also the Fallout 2 devs literally admitted that each location was written separately and that they didn't have enough time to integrate them into a coherent, tonally consistent whole.
                >Fo2's world is literally entirely about politics and economics.
                What the frick does that even mean? A game being "about" some particular topic does not mean that it handles the topic well. And why does the subject matter make it superior to the previous game?

                >Fallout 2's world is literally a series of theme parks
                I don't think you know what those words mean, and the fact that you must slap "le" in front of your assesment shows what an obnoxious homosexual without a point you really are.

                Also, your own moronic logic can be used on Fo1.
                "the le farming town!"
                "the le trader town!"
                "the le bunker town populated by zombies!"
                "the le weapon trader town!"
                It's an idiotic line of reasoning as well as objectively false.

                >Fallout 2's world is fundamentally concieved as a system - a world where each individual elements exists being defined by it's relationship to other elements. Fo1 still has a very theme-park structure - a bunch of individual locations with a funny theme existing almost in vacuum to the rest.
                I feel the exact opposite way. "Theme park" is how I would describe FO2. FO1 feels more concise and focused, while in FO2 every location feels very gimmicky.

                >FO1 feels more concise and focused, while in FO2 every location feels very gimmicky.
                You are actually contradicting yourself. It's either focused, or generalized. Fo1's world is focused, but that results in each locations being isolated from others, not a part of larger economic or political systems - as each is focused pretty much on one single thing.

                That is a themepark design.
                Fo2 is about the wider contexts and interactions between these locations. The opposite of a theme park.

                It's a stretch to say that there's 15 hours of New Reno content even if you don't know what to do because most of the families quests are pretty short
                That is not a lot, if you compare it to other RPGs, like New Vegas, or Baldurs Gate 2

                Because it takes a minute just to move from one map to the other? I love FO:NV and BG2 but it's bad to compare the amount of content by how much time it takes to move from one dialogue to the next.

                As an aside to this I would be interested to see someone calculate how much time is spent on just movement (including backtracking) in various RPGs.

                Traversal time doesn't make a big difference. BG2 takes place on seperated maps just like Fallout 2

                In that case, there is only 4 hours worth of content in Morrowind, and only 10 in New Vegas. This is an idiotic line of reasoning. Most people don't measure game's content wealth by speedrunning strategies, that is just a pointless attempt at insecure bragging about how you totally know the game.

                I'm surprised you didn't notice yourself demonstrating my point while typing this post out. Those are all relatively normal, grounded locations. They are not that different from one another. They all serve identifiable real-world purposes. I forgot to mention Fallout 2 also has a city where everyone is separated into a blue and red team and is obsessed with kung fu for no reason.

                >Those are all relatively normal, grounded locations. They are not that different from one another.
                Kid, you have NOT played Fallout 2. Let's take a glance at some towns from Fo2:
                Broken Hills = mining down,
                Redding = mining town
                Klamath = Farmer town,
                NCR = Farmer town
                Modoc = Farmer town
                There is New Reno, city build on Vice, Vault City (town build on the Vault tech), the undeground farm town whose name I don't remember, a small community of ghouls that are literally sustained by radiation, taking advantage of an old nuclear reactor, and SanFran, which is admitedly the worst location in the game, simply because it's completely unfinished.

                The main story of the world then revolves specifically around conflict of the three major political players (new reno, vault city and NCR) over the remaning golden mines and agricultural settlements. Such as the case of Van Graffs and Salvatores flooding Redding with cheap drugs to subjugate their population.

                Meanwhile, in Fo1, the locations have a gimmick and NOTHING ELSE. Hub is trade. Who do they trade with? Nobody knows. Arroyo is "the farmers". That is it. Necropolis is "ghouls". NOTHING. ELSE.

                You have clearly not played Fo2. Are you a Fallout 3 fan by any chance?

                Just not who do they trade with. Or even where they get their water.
                Now - again: My intention isn't to actually shit on Fo1, I still love that game. My point is merely that Fo1 has a much more theme-park approach to it's world design, something that Brian Fargo is actually well known for (see Wasteland 2 and 3 for that regard).
                Which is fine, especially for such a relatively small game. I can live with the economy and political scene of the world being relatively shallow since unlike say, Fo3, it's not insulting and the game's limited scope hardly allows for more in-depth exploration anyway.

                But people who pretend that Fo2 was less of a living, breathing world than the first game, are objectively wrong, and frankly, might be mentally ill.

                There is this actually really idiotic narrative Fo3 fans have been cultivating about Fo3 being a lot like Fo1, and New Vegas a lot like Fo2, and as part of that rivalry, a memetic culture of shitting on 2 has been born.

                For some reason you keep bringing up the interactions between towns in FO2, when that has nothing to do with what is being discussed.
                The point is that many locations in FO2 vary in theme to a degree that starts to get a bit jarring. In FO1, even if the interactions between towns is not explicitly stated, the entire world carries a very consistent theme. In FO2 you suddenly have these places that are warped so much around their own individual theme, like the dedicated casino town with mafia families, or the dedicated chinese town with martial artists, that they stand out a bit too much from the rest of the game.

                The discussion was about Fo2's world being designed as a system, where each location is defined as a part of greater network of political and economical relationships.

                You are lying, AGAIN. We clearly established what we mean by the concept of theme park (where each location has no functional role or relationship to the rest of the world), and a systems-driven design.
                >The point is that many locations in FO2 vary in theme to a degree that starts to get a bit jarring.
                That is another lie. Firstly - I have given you a list proving that more than half of the locations in the game are straight up basic mining or agricultural communities, nothing jarring there.
                Second of all - in reality, if you aren't brain-damaged, you'll also notice that even the more unique locations are actually still plays on the game's central themes:
                The fact that the self-destructive tendency of humanity is inherent and natural to us, that - things don't change in that regard.
                It's not jarring, it is variety but still thematically entirely consistent.
                Tonally, it's a bit less coherent, but really, there are only few locations that widely diverge from the tone of the rest of the game, such as the famous and awful Vault 13, but that is an outlier.

                The problem is that you did actually realize there is more to the world than New Reno and Vault city. Because you have not really played the game in the first place.

                because that applies more aptly to FO2. Kung fu fighters are exclusive to their own dedicated location and aren't an integrated part of the overarching world. The same happens with the mafiosos, the aliens, the talking deathclaws. FO1 has their dedicated gimmick locations, but there is far less wild variation in themes than in FO2. "funny theme existing almost in vacuum to the rest" describes more things in FO2 than in FO1. This has been my point since the beginning and I have not moved any goalposts.

                Kid, you have NOT played Fallout 2. Let's take a glance at some towns from Fo2:
                Broken Hills = mining down,
                Redding = mining town
                Klamath = Farmer town,
                NCR = Farmer town
                Modoc = Farmer town
                There is New Reno, city build on Vice, Vault City (town build on the Vault tech), the undeground farm town whose name I don't remember, a small community of ghouls that are literally sustained by radiation, taking advantage of an old nuclear reactor, and SanFran, which is admitedly the worst location in the game, simply because it's completely unfinished.

                The main story of the world then revolves specifically around conflict of the three major political players (new reno, vault city and NCR) over the remaning golden mines and agricultural settlements. Such as the case of Van Graffs and Salvatores flooding Redding with cheap drugs to subjugate their population.

                Meanwhile, in Fo1, the locations have a gimmick and NOTHING ELSE. Hub is trade. Who do they trade with? Nobody knows. Arroyo is "the farmers". That is it. Necropolis is "ghouls". NOTHING. ELSE.

                You have clearly not played Fo2. Are you a Fallout 3 fan by any chance?

                >For some reason you keep bringing up the interactions between towns in FO2, when that has nothing to do with what is being discussed.
                It literally has everything to do with what is being discussed, this may be the most pathetic attempt at moving your goalpost imaginable.
                The discussion was about Fo2's world being designed as a system, where each location is defined as a part of greater network of political and economical relationships.
                As stated here:
                [...]
                And you, you absolute clown, just straight up said:
                "that is not true, in fact it's the opposite".
                Here:
                [...]
                You are lying, AGAIN. We clearly established what we mean by the concept of theme park (where each location has no functional role or relationship to the rest of the world), and a systems-driven design.
                >The point is that many locations in FO2 vary in theme to a degree that starts to get a bit jarring.
                That is another lie. Firstly - I have given you a list proving that more than half of the locations in the game are straight up basic mining or agricultural communities, nothing jarring there.
                Second of all - in reality, if you aren't brain-damaged, you'll also notice that even the more unique locations are actually still plays on the game's central themes:
                The fact that the self-destructive tendency of humanity is inherent and natural to us, that - things don't change in that regard.
                It's not jarring, it is variety but still thematically entirely consistent.
                Tonally, it's a bit less coherent, but really, there are only few locations that widely diverge from the tone of the rest of the game, such as the famous and awful Vault 13, but that is an outlier.

                The problem is that you did actually realize there is more to the world than New Reno and Vault city. Because you have not really played the game in the first place.

                [...]

                No you have not proven me wrong. I have given examples of the self-contained thematic variations in FO2 locations that stand out. In your quoted posts, in the first one you point out how most locations remain tame, which is irrelevant because my whole point is in talking about the ones that stand out glaringly, and then you sneakily (and dishonestly) talk about these stand out locations as if they where just as banal as the rest. And in the second post you even begrudgingly admit
                >Tonally, it's a bit less coherent
                Which is a concession that you fully understand what I am talking about, but after admitting that there is this noticeable incoherence in FO2 you keep trying to tone it down and dismiss it. But it's too glaring to dismiss, which is my whole point, and you refuse to agree with this.
                But this has already boiled down to being a subjective discussion and we're just going to endlessly butt heads if we keep going, as I am firmly set in saying that I perceive it one way, and you are firmly set in saying that you perceive it another way.

                Kid, you were wrong. Firstly, you listed few towns and added "le" in front of them. That was not an argument to begin with.
                You claimed that towns in Fo1 have more mundane reasons to exist.
                I gave you a list of more than half settlements in the game having being mining and agricultural centers, proving your claim wrong.

                You claimed that the towns are not connected to others. I gave you concrete examples of how the story is actually entirely pre-occupied with a complex economic and political play.

                >my whole point is in talking about the ones that stand out glaringly,
                Your point is an endless chain of pathetic goal post moves, you moron.
                You went from "locations in Fo2 are not connected into greater system" (I've proven that to be wrong) to "all locations in Fo2 are cartoony" (I've proven that wrong) to "there TWO settlements that aren't entirely mundane and that is somehow a bad thing".
                The fact that they came up with a few settlements that have more complex story than mining, agriculture or trade - is not a bad thing. These concepts - Vault City and New Reno, the only outliers - are still entirely fitting within the themes and logic of the settings, and are interconnected with other settlements and general overarching themes and structures.

                This is PATHETIC. You are a dishonest, moronic child.

                What we are calling theme park design is each location having its own dedicated gimmick, much like the different rides in a big amusement park. FO2 is like that far more than FO1.

              I feel the exact opposite way. "Theme park" is how I would describe FO2. FO1 feels more concise and focused, while in FO2 every location feels very gimmicky.

        Absolutely this. Fallout 1 may be open world but it's structured more like the classic RPGs that preceded it, it's more like a structured, semi-linear adventure than an open world game. Fallout 2 on the other hand is an open world RPG in the sense that genre is commonly understood to be nowadays. Despite being played in an isometric perspective FO2 has more in common with 3 than with 1.

      Fo2 is literally just more and (mostly) better Fallout 1. Maybe you got bored of the formula. It makes sense - Fo1 can be finished in like 15 hours easily, while Fo2 is a MONSTER in size and content. If you aren't entirely on board with the gameplay or themes, I can easily see Fo2 exhausting you and losing your interest.
      You can spend more time exploring New Reno alone, than you spend exploring the entirety of Fo1.

      >Fallout 2 has barely any content
      What in god's name possesses people to be this desperately contrarian? I don't get it.
      >you can do all of it in 15 hours easily
      You can absolutely rush the game in that time, but you'd be skipping on majority of the stuff in the game.
      You can also finish Morrowind in under 4 hours, but what is the point of playing games like that?

      [...]
      >Fallout 2's world is just not as interesting as Fallout 1's. The writing is worse
      That is objectively false. Firstly, Fallout 2's world is fundamentally concieved as a system - a world where each individual elements exists being defined by it's relationship to other elements. Fo1 still has a very theme-park structure - a bunch of individual locations with a funny theme existing almost in vacuum to the rest.
      Fo2 does not work like that, the world is dramatically more complex. Each location also has much stronger and more nuanced themes.

      Finally, both in numbers, and in personal complexity, the character writing in Fo2 is leagues above Fo1. There are more people with more complex motives and stronger individual characterization. The dialogue also has a lot more flare.

      Objectively, that constitutes superior writing.

      [...]
      I'm starting to seriously suspect none of you actually played any of the Fallout games.

      >Am I living in Bizarro world? The literal opposite is true.
      Are you high? Fo2's world is literally entirely about politics and economics. It's a fight between three major political bodies manipulating minor locations under their influence due to presence of strategic resources.
      The frick are you smoking?

      [...]
      You might be clinically insane. I have no other explanation. What is wrong with you people?

      >Have you considered that you might be wrong?
      Yes, I always consider that possibility.
      However, you are claiming that Fo2 is a small game where you can see all content in 15 hours. Fo2 features location called "New Reno". It's admitedly the most fleshed out location in the game, but not by that much.

      New Reno features six mafia families. Bishops, Mordins, Salvatores, VanGraffs, and two other I can't remember the name off right now.
      Four of these can be joined. Each feature at least 4 hours of their own quest lines. You can't even complete all these quests, because with each, final two quest lines require you to antagonize the other families, preventing the ability to switch between them.

      There is AT LEAST 15 hours worth of content in New Reno ALONE. Obviously, if you know exactly what to do, don't read anything and speedrun, you can cut that down to minimum, but that is hardly an argument. Speedrunning isn't a relevant measurement of game's content.

      No, I'm not wrong. You are making shit up.

      >Fallout 2's world is literally a series of theme parks
      I don't think you know what those words mean, and the fact that you must slap "le" in front of your assesment shows what an obnoxious homosexual without a point you really are.

      Also, your own moronic logic can be used on Fo1.
      "the le farming town!"
      "the le trader town!"
      "the le bunker town populated by zombies!"
      "the le weapon trader town!"
      It's an idiotic line of reasoning as well as objectively false.

      [...]
      >FO1 feels more concise and focused, while in FO2 every location feels very gimmicky.
      You are actually contradicting yourself. It's either focused, or generalized. Fo1's world is focused, but that results in each locations being isolated from others, not a part of larger economic or political systems - as each is focused pretty much on one single thing.

      That is a themepark design.
      Fo2 is about the wider contexts and interactions between these locations. The opposite of a theme park.

      FO1's writing is fantastic, fricking what? Every location is memorable because something interesting happens there, you don't need a two-hour sidequest in every single part of the game for it to be "deep."
      The only gripe I have about FO1 is the lack of chat heads. Garl Death-hand, the Gun Runner leader (Gabrial?), and Iguana Bob all should have had chat heads, as well as Ian and Katja.
      FO2 has the same issue, NPCs you see on numerous occasions, such as the mafia heads and even party members like Vic, inexplicably don't have chat heads

            I believe so, yes. But if you grab the water chip and return it to the vault then the supers will wipe out the town. So you pretty much have to destroy Mariposa and kill the Master before the vault runs out of water for that ending to happen.

    Fallout 1 delivers a more compressed game and story which is good.

      This F1 love is a zoomer thing (I mean everyone loved F1 too, but F2 was just better).
      Might be related to the amount of content. F2 was a perfect time waste. Lots of towns, 10+ quests in every town, a lot of replayability. While F1 was pretty straightforward. Nowadays F2 probably just seems too tiresome for most.

        This is true. I was there for the threads back in the day when I didn't play any CRPGs back then. Everyone and their mom preferred and recommended 2. I believe it was because of the content.

          It's because their only experience was Fallout 2 is by watching streamers and most of those streamers have to install the restoration mod in order to get the game to work in a window without stuttering.

                That is absolutely fricking moronic too.
                Fo1's writing isn't great, but there are few very bright exception. And Master is one of them.
                Master still remains by far the best and most interesting villain in the franchise, and Supermutants the best threat they could come up with.
                Fo2 has overal much better writing, but there are some areas in which it drops the ball completely, and enclave and Horrigan are the worst cases. Those are awful villains, which is made even worse by the comparison to how good Master was.

                FO1 is far more consistent, even if it is more primitive. In FO2 the writers got a confidence boost and went all over the place; FO2s plot is actual garbage, most of the characters played seriously do not behave realistically and stylistically it has a lot of things which were in a way entirely abandoned by all future FO games (except maybe BoS didnt play it). Of course I can't say its the worst when FO4 exists, but it tries too many new things at once and fails at half of them.

          Nah, it's because they haven't played either of the game. Most of them are Fo3 fans who think that criticizing Fo2 will make Fallout 3 look less like garbage. Rest are chronic online contrarians who parrot shit that used to be said at RPGCodex and NMA.
          The thing about complaints about Fo2 that most people don't understand, is that they originally came from an understandable hipsterism that formed at places like NMA, places populated by obsessive, old fans of the franchise.
          And as it tends to happen, when you have these kind of extreme fans gathered for a very long time, a trend to question common wisdom (which was that Fo2 was the better game) as a sign of EXTRA fanboism.
          So after the initial agreement that Fo2 was a major step forward, some people started to propagate a more purist approach. These people would point out that Fo2 did go a bit overboard with the references, that the world feels a bit less serious etc...
          Now, these arguments were actually fine, and justified. Fo2 has some very weak elements to it, it is a bit too silly at times - it's by no means perfect, and Fo1 has still in some ways hold primacy.
          But these complains were originally based in mutual understanding that they are minor. That Fo2 is still a fantastic game.

          The issue is that idiots started parroting those claims, but without context. They started acting as if Fo2 was NOTHING but references. That it means Fo2 must be shit.

          And that is where we are now. People who never played these games parroting the same epic NMA complaints without realizing they missed the point entirely. That they were said by people who still actually loved Fo2, they just did admit some blemishes.

            The reason Fallout 2 isn't so praised anymore is because the majority of players now are too young to have played it when they were 12-16 year old children, and have no nostalgia goggles for it.

            To a 12 year old mind, Fallout 2 was more fun than Fallout 1, for the same reasons that an adult would find it cringeworthy and all over the place.

      Keep dancing for me, monkey.

      FO2's writing is all over the place. FO1 is shorter but its writing is also much tighter. I like how seemingly unrelated things end up tying together in the end (for example how the BoS relates to the main plot). Meanwhile a lot of stuff in FO2 is there just because.

      >FO2's writing is all over the place.
      True, but it's kinda inevitable with just how much of it there is.
      I will absolutely not deny that Fo1 has overal better atmosphere, because it does not have anything PARTICULARLY jarring. I will happily admit that Fo2's main plot is pretty weak and the villains are straight up bad. I will happily admit that there are some really stupid ideas (talking supermutants) and some things that cleary weren't finished (SanFran).

      At it's worst, Fo2 is worse than Fo1. But the number of actual lows is vastly overstated. The MAJORITY of Fo2's writing is great. The world-building is at it's absolute best in the franchise.

      Fo1 has only handful of well written moments, but also very few really weak ones.
      Fo2 has a shitton of great writing, but it also has a few moments that are really weak. Not as many as people claim, but they are there, nobody is denying that.

      Fo2 is game of higher highs and lower lows. But the ratio of highs to lows is massively skewed in favor of the game.

      >Firstly, you listed few towns and added "le" in front of them.
      >You claimed that towns in Fo1 have more mundane reasons to exist.
      That was a different poster.

      >You claimed that the towns are not connected to others.
      >"locations in Fo2 are not connected into greater system"
      >"all locations in Fo2 are cartoony"
      >"there TWO settlements that aren't entirely mundane and that is somehow a bad thing".
      I never said any of that. Go ahead and try to quote the posts where I said these things. You cannot because I never did.
      You are shamelessly strawmanning me, and have the gal to say that I am the dishonest one here?

        Fo2 has constant pop culture references, 4th wall breaking, lore inconsistency moments, silly wacky shit
        It may be mechanically better than 1, but 1 is much a better tighter experience that's peak Fallout in everything
        Also, 1 was slightly less bugged

          Enclave is not a great antagonist faction, Frank is a terrible villain, sure. And the shift towards saving Arroyo people from Enclave is pretty weak too.
          The first half - search for GECK, is fine enough on it's own.

          But most importantly, all of that is just an excuse. You really only interact with the main plot for like 3 hours combined through out the main plot.
          The game shines at the actual world. The individual settlements, their individual histories, they interactions, the greater politics of the world, the individual people you meet.

          The main problem with Enclave and Frank is that they exist outside of this world. They are extremely inorganic. Everything in the world proper is actually driven by the the three big players, the gold rush, the left-over SM population - the world succumbing back to it's exploitative original form. The enclave does not really drive any of this.
          And that is a definite writing issue. But then again: it's not a major issue because most of the time you spend interacting with the good stuff.
          >Fo2 has constant pop culture references, 4th wall breaking, l
          It's absolutely not "constant", this is exactly the kind of moronic exaggeration that people make because they haven't played the games. It's also very important to realize how integral was humor to the first game.
          Dark comedy was literally the tone Fo games always aimed at. Fo1 had you come across wacky shit just as commonly as in Fo2, it's just that Fo2 is several times larger.

          What's your obsession with using child as an insult? Is it some kind of pedo freudian slip? It just makes you sound like a adolescent redditor or a third-worlder. Embarrasing.

          >What's your obsession with using child as an insult?
          It's not an insult, it's merely a response to your utter childishness.
          You want to be treated like an adult? Then start acting like one.

          so did you or did you not play fallout 2 when you were 12-16 lol

          I first played it around that age. That is to say, I played that game before you were even born.

                broken hills is the most generic shitty "racial prejudice" story in games that Americans love to make.
                Super Mutants exist, fought for the master committing genocide and being partially lobotomized. Then suddenly, most of the mutants have a change of heart and act pure, while the evil humans judge them as if they were genocidal savages. All the "good" guys are muties, are the evil ones humans and anything the muties may have done wrong turns out to have been because of the evil bigots. It is an absolutely awful story.

                The master didn't believe that what he was doing was evil, though. He thought he was eliminating petty racial differences and squabbles by creating one race of mutants to progress humanity. Broken Hills just exists to drive the point home that the Master may have been correct.

                The master has nothing to do with it, the muties still have free will. Also racial differences should be even higher between Mutants because half of them are literally moronic. Saying Broken Hills proves the master correct is like saying Stalin was right for Holodomor because of the Russia Ukraine war.

                The master does, though. The entire plot line of Broken Hills is just The Master's rationale played out from his perspective. The game even hammers that into the player's head when you speak to Marcus. It's fine to not like it but in doing so, you're bashing the writing of Fallout 1 at the same time.

                The Master was an "ends justify the means" guy. The means were what lead to broken hills, except in that case its made to seem like the means were completely fine because Muties were killing humans under extremely contrived circumstances while being presented as justified; this in turn goes against the whole "Ends justify means" thing.

                Neither plot line is black and white and arguments can be made for both siding with the master and against him or siding with the mutants in broken hills or with the humans. That's the point. The mutants aren't all goody goody in broken hills, either. One even rapes you.

                You literally can't, outside of self preservation which can be made for literally every antagonist ever. The writing is a moronic allegory for racial issues and if it were released today, it would be panned by everyone due to how one sided it tries to present the obvious killers while making the racists (only evil because of racism and no other crime) get a justified killing.

                The "moronic allegory for racial issues" was present in both games. You'd know that if you actually spoke to the Master. The problem seems to be that the issue isn't totally black and white in either game but you're only capable of understanding things as such. Since "racial issues bad = liberal" in your head, you completely shut down and ignore everything else happening during the plot line.

                fo2 had a dindu theme that would be called out as pandering if released today
                FO2 being a sequel to FO1 doesn't change this. And I don't consider the Master a genius in the first place, he is someone who was broken and hopeful due to his circumstances but his plan was still silly.

                It's not a dindu nuffins theme because the mutants are buttholes in Broken Hills and so are the humans. The only "dindu nuffin" mutant there is Marcus and even he says that he'd dip his best friend against his will.

                The Master was clearly wrong, as exemplified by the fact that the biggest conflicts in FO history (NCR vs Legion) have nothing to do with racial differences but rather ideological. And a race of half-morons would be even easier to manipulate in that case.

                Masters problem was generalized propensity to self-destruction, caused by both physical, and mental faults of human biology.

                >The Nightkin subplot in NV >>> Broken Hills
                I don't agree personally, but NV was overal a pretty decently written game too. The differences in preferences between those two games are going to boil more to personal preferences than anything else. I personally found that NV is a bit too much of threading old water, there wasn't much new to it, the themes were already mostly explored in Fo2, that is honestly my biggest complaint about that game.

                On the other hand, I really do like Fo2, so NV being very similar is not a terrible complaint. And there are some new concepts. I quite like the direction in which they took Brotherhood, I quite enjoyed how they handled the various gangs of Mojave.
                I'm really not keen on Legion, they are not as bad as Enclave but they are still clearly very unfinished faction and maybe somewhat questionable in very nature... but again - much like the issues of Fo2, these problems are fairly marginal.

                >You claimed that all narrative content is just silly jokes and references

                >If we ignore the time spent playing the game combat/exploration/object interaction wise and focus only on narrative interaction with the game it is constant.
                There is a good 5 hours worth of narrative interactions in Vault City alone. There is one guy whose name is a reference to something.
                In fact, you name one per each settlment. Do you know how many in-jokes and references there are in Fo1?
                No, you don't. Because you haven't played either of these games, you only know about the Fallout 2 shit because it's what you heard oldgays talk about, and now you have the Fo2 pop culture reference list open.

                nta but what is the surprise supposed to be? looking at both, what's most surprising is how comically longer the list for fallout 2 is. the fallout 1 list has 28 entries while the fallout 2 list has 149.

                >looking at both, what's most surprising is how comically longer the list for fallout 2 is.
                Yeah, because Fo2 has more than three times as much content. The density is the same, it's just that the raw amount of text is so massive.

                Kid, you seem to be convinced that being condescending to obnoxious little homosexuals is an invention of some twitter troony you seem to obsessively follow.
                That is just... fascinating. Aside from the fact that it tells me you were literally obsessed with twitter before you came here - and the fact you must have been here for maybe two weeks top - it's just such an unbelivably brain-dead, social-media washed idea, I cannot think of anything more embodying the spirit of the worst of the zoomer generation than this.

                And it gives some really amusing context to you trying to talk about Fallout games - games that very clearly are at least 15 years older than you are.
                Kid, you really need to go back to twitter. This is absolutely no place for you.

            Yeah, there's a general problem with the repeated voice actors and a lot of times there's not doing a great job, likely because Obsidian wasn't used to handling that many like Bethesda was at that point.
            And even if the performances were all good, repetition doesn't allow for uniqueness
            The guy that voices Graham also voiced every Dark Elf in Skyrim and it's a night and day difference on the impact his voice has.
            As unfair as it may be, they really need more VAs doing exclusively "Additional Voices" and anyone in a decent sized quest should have their own VA

        I think its unfair to judge NV by that light as the factions and their politics themselves take on the role of antagonists due to NV more open nature. Tbh by narrative design, NV is more of a sequel to Alpha Protocol than FO2 in a lot of ways
        >DLCs ALL beat you over the head with their themes...
        I like that they tried to make the DLC feel like their own novel writing wise by giving a lot of context and focus to the themes personally. I much prefer it to FO3 DLC or something as sloppy as Knights of the Nine/Tribunal although a Shivering Isles would be my preferred expansion format.

      This is true--neither games are written all that well. I still like the originals but I don't act like either of them are some ground breaking shit. I just enjoy the isometric pseudo sandbox and the combat as simple as it is nowadays.

      I play and enjoy all three
      NV is a lot more replayable with its still-active mod community but 1 and 2 are very atmospheric, and a bit more challenging even when you're familiar with them.
      In terms of writing I'd rank them pretty equally, they just have different tones
      1 is basically mad max 1/2
      2 is kind of weird and flip-flops between serious and goofy too often to take too seriously, kind of like Thunderdome
      NV is sort of a middle ground between 1 and 2, but when it goes goofy it's a little more restrained, outside of OWB which is its own thing.

        I find the "sluggish combat" complaint odd when I play modern turn based games like Expeditions: Rome, WotR, and the Original Sin games. Hour long combats in those aren't unheard of. Modern turn based games are even slower especially with all of the tactical opportunities they provide you. In F1 and F2, you turn the combat speed to max and either heal, burst fire, or aim for the eyes.

          Its sluggish because it only exists to break the pacing of the atmosphere but on its own, FO1/2s combat is some of the worst in vidya because it has nothing going for it. It is incredibly uninteresting, it might possibly be the most boring combat of all time, even VtMB is better
          It also requires you to often tediously retreat out of a lot of combat/random encounters depending on your build/circumstances.

            I like the combat and don't have to "tediously retreat" because I usually know whether the combat is winnable or not during turn one. If the enemies are too strong/are too numerous I immediately head to the exit grid. I can see how newer players wouldn't be able to gauge that instinctively, though.

      it's just cursed dude. the key figures from 1 all left by the time 2 really kicked off development, 3 isn't even the same company or genre really, NV returns the Fallout 2 guy but he really only makes major contributions for the DLCs, 4... lol. no subsequent game had the same focus as the game that came before it, it's basically an anthology even though it was never intended to be.

      Crazy stuff. What's even crazier is that all of the worst stuff in Fallout 2 that's apparent at a quick glance (the tutorial, the humor, the entire ending sequence) are things Cain said he didn't have any part in deciding.

    ost
    pretty much every single game developer in the last 15 years forgot that games need to have music and sound.

    sound is quite literally 50% of all stimulae our body gets while playing a video game.
    sound is literally half of the game.

    thats why i love games with perfect sound, like nu-DOOM or Death Stranding, Diablo 1+2, Fallout 1+2, Baldurs Gate 1+2.

    >play nu-Diablo 4
    >literally no fricking sound or music, just some ChatGPT made placeholder of a noise
    >you run around in total motherfricking silence, just falling asleep from boredom

    i just dont play new game, unless is a fricking diamond in an ocean of shit, like DS.

          >Fallout 1's writing was just as shitty outside of the Master.
          It wasn't shitty, but a lot of it was just kinda bland. The locations weren't insultingly non-sensical like in Fallout 3, but they were often just a very simple function - Hub is a trade hub, necropolis is the place with ghouls, Junktown was the town made of junk... there is nothing wrong with it, but compared to the second game it is quite sparse and basic. The same applies to most characters.

          Keeping it small-scale does help the atmosphere though. And unlike every other Fallout game, the villains are well thought out and actually a very tangible threat. It works better as a story, but worse as a world to explore.
          Fo2 is on the exact opposite side of things - AWFUL villains and terrible main plot that feels utterly disconnected from the world, but the world itself is really good.

          New Vegas is sort of a relatively healthy middle place.

          I see the fact that I called you for imitating a twitter homosexual has broke you.
          That's literally all can think of.

                Kid, I don't have twitter. And I think you should really try going without one too. It's very clear it has rotted your brain away.

                Apparently there is an issue with my instructions. I will chalk it up to your poor understanding of English.

                Yeah, because you posted gibberish. Look, are you going to make a point on the subject - the claim that Bethesda's writing serves the gameplay, or not?
                Because I've explained quite clearly how I do not see that, in fact I see the opposite. Things like narrative logic giving player relevant and helpful cluess about the gameplay (e.g. don't mess with supermutants if you are a whimp), and how the lack of story complexity detracts from weight of player-made mechanical decisions related to his character build.

                Now your time. Make a point about how you think Beth's absolutely stupid writing enhances the gameplay experience.
                Or don't, by which you admit that you are an idiot who never had any point to begin with.

                Fallout 2 ruins any decent writing by shoving in so many references it's moronic. I'm sorry but having my companions talk about THAC0 and Big Trouble and Little China in random encounters and then going to town and having the Goodfellas script regurgitated at me ruins any kind of atmosphere. Fallout 2 is so blatantly unfinished in so many areas it makes Adytum look polished. I honest don't know how you can think it has better writing even in small areas

                Most pathetic response possible. The references in Fallout 1 aren't as invasive because they fit into the world without feeling like a reference, which was Tim Cain's rule for adding in references. Seeing "You see Ed, Ed's dead" doesn't feel like a joke reference you're missing if you've never seen Pulp Fiction, having characters say Austin Powers lines as random barks that make no sense in any context feels like a joke you're missing if you don't get it. References aren't the problem it's how many and how often they are shoved into Fallout 2

                The Hub has 4 cultural references in the entire town, all of which blend in perfectly and don't make the player feel like they are missing the joke if they don't understand the reference. The whole problem with references in Fallout 2 is how they are done, not the references themselves.

                No, you moron. that is dumb shit you projected because you do that, because that is the habitual bullshit you do without even knowing why anymore.

                If you go back to any of my broader posts, including the very first one that send this thread into a vortex of absolutely seething fricking rage, you will find out that the point is that Fallout 2's had overal better writing, despite some faults, namely tone-wise.

                I went into details on this, explaining how the tighter focus on Fo1 makes it more consistent and the atmosphere is purer, but the writing itself, in particular the world-building and characters and quests complexity, are something that only became really praised about Fallout's with the second game.

                The rest of this discussion specifically flows from my point that the presence of the whacky shit is just exaggerated, and that it's something that was already present in the first game.

                That does not mean the first game is bad. It does not mean that Fo2 does not have it's faults, including some tonal issues, some very stupid plot points and some needless jokes.

                My point is merely that the negativity is exaggerated, because homosexuals like you only heard the negative things, and assumed that is the whole game, rather than those being few weaker moments in otherwise very well written game.

                You are the only brain-dead homosexuals who think this has to be "Team Fallout 1 vs. Team Fallout 2, FIIIIIGGHT!"

                My point, from the absolute start to the absolute end of this discussion, is that people have skewed opinions of Fo2 because they parrot things they heard, rather than play the game. Fo2's writing is mostly great. The jokes are nowhere as common as you people pretend, and they are a continuation of a trend that was already there with Fo1.
                Those are facts.
                Facts that you don't understand because all you know is:
                "I'M ON TEAM FALLOUT 1 BECAUSE THAT MAKES ME LOOK COOL!!!!!"

                I don't forget that, you absolute brain-dead monkey.
                There is a fundamentaly misunderstanding here that you so handly pointed out.
                You automatically assume that I'm claiming that Fo2 has less references than Fo1, because you are a tribal monkey who does not really understand that we are talking about real games, and not fictional identities in a fictional tribal war.
                You literally just assumed that I'm trying to make Fallout 1 look bad because... well you don't understand any other form of communication.

                I'm not. I very much love Fallout 1. I'm merely pointing that what you people think about Fo2 is based on shit you heard, and then cling to as part of you "I'm totally going to make everyone think I'm an oldgay by repeating these tired worn out clichés", while in reality, the situation is more complicated, and more nuanced.

                You literally don't even understand what this discussion is about. You are just doing the exact same memorized dance you've been doing your whole life. You are braindead. You are an NPC.

                Which is a good name for something that enhances the mind. Imaginei thinking that's on the same level as "Hubbologists"

                Again, you're reaching. Mad Max, Earth Abides, Canticle for Leibowitz, Harlan Ellison. These are all works that formed the post-apocalyptic genre, their influence goes far beyond a reference.

                Most pathetic response possible. The references in Fallout 1 aren't as invasive because they fit into the world without feeling like a reference, which was Tim Cain's rule for adding in references. Seeing "You see Ed, Ed's dead" doesn't feel like a joke reference you're missing if you've never seen Pulp Fiction, having characters say Austin Powers lines as random barks that make no sense in any context feels like a joke you're missing if you don't get it. References aren't the problem it's how many and how often they are shoved into Fallout 2

      i think NV and 2 accomplish because they actually have history that occured after the bombs fell, like in 2 it's this ncr group that grew out of shady sands, and in vegas you see monuments for battles and pacts that remind you that life kept going. in 4, not so much. 250 years deep in the timeline and we're still supposed to feel like it's mad max out here.

          Only if you consider "insulting fricking moronic" as a desirable part of videogames. They also don't enhance jack shit gameplay-wise. Fallout New Vegas plays better than Fallout 3, because it understands that character build choices as well as story-relevant decisions should be part of players actual arsenal of options, and makes narrative role relevant to things like player gauging the danger of an area, where as Fallout 3 makes player build irrelevant, story choices painfully bad and narrative and gameplay utterly divorced as you effortlessly slaughter a Supermutant behemoth, the threat that veteran Brotherhood paladin's fear, by a level 1 character that literally just fricking left a vault.

            Might and Magic has excellent combat for a turn based dungeon crawler--at least if you're referring to M&M 3 - 5. That's near the top in its class IMO. The combat is serviceable in the first two games, also. They're decent enough Bard's Tale clones.

        It just wasn't a warranted sequel and it didn't do anything worthwhile as a sequel. It didn't improve upon what was presented in the first game in any way and it horribly missed the mark with it's tone and humour.
        How is Tactics bad? It was a genuinely good spinoff. It branched out into another genre of role-playing games and it pulled it off well.

          As a spiritual successor to wasteland, it absolutely nailed the tone and humor. You're just spouting bullshit that you probably heard some clueless youtuber spew. Tactics is bad because the combat and pathfinding is fricking terrible. You can barely even walk up stairs in that game. Tactics and F2 also share very similar humor but I don't see you complaining about that. Why single F2 out?

    The games really didn't age well. I got a craving for some nostalgia and decided to play it yesterday for about two hours. I love the game to death but it plays very poorly especially in terms of how the character moves through the world. I really hate to use the term "clunky" because it has become a buzzword but there really is no better word to describe it.
    The OST is great and the writing is decent for an RPG from the 90s. Everyone talks about a Fallout New Vegas reboot but what I'd love to see is a reboot of the original fallout games using the Divinity 2 engine or something similar.

    Fallout 2 is great, but I feel like Fallout 1 is more brilliant because it created the entire setting, music, art, atmosphere of the series while also being a small passion project. I also really like the small details of FO1 and I find its development to be fascinating. No hate on 2, it created lots of excellent moments itself.

      Fallout 1 just feel more special because it was made by a team with minimum interference from the higher ups at Interplay, it was just a small team that Fargo let run wild. Fallout 2 is still a great game but you can really feel lack of a tight passionate team doing because they want to

      Fallout 2 was created only because the first one succeeded. Fallout 2 was basically created because Interplay saw the success of the first game and said "do it again except this time our marketing team gets to force features in". This is how we ended up with the temple of trials.

          Fallout 3 isn't really more gritty than the previous games. In a lot of ways, it's about the same level of edgy, kinada because they straight-up copied a lot of ideas from 1 and 2. But I think the music and art direction in 3 is more lighthearted generally speaking.

          Well Avellone has written entire paragraphs on why talking Deathclaws are bad beyond the fact that's it's too silly. Essentially, they don't really fit within the setting and the idea of talking Deathclaws brings the uncomfortable questions of how moral it is to kill Deathclaws if they can be raised to human intelligence, something he doesn't feel makes for an interesting theme and it's bad to have the player think about it if you're not gonna commit to it
          Ghouls that don't need to eat or breathe kinda shits on a plot point of 1
          Melchior was just fricking weird man
          Gays usually spread disease
          Time travel is like the multiverse, it breaks any stakes in a setting , not to mention how lazy it frequently is

              Because while the Franchise was dormant he was working on the Bible, he clearly has a passion for the games to work on a project that basically only existed for fan fiction purposes. I do find it weird how desperately he wants to be the "fallout guy". He started another "bible" https://chrisavellone.medium.com/fallout-apocrypha-77c75954641a but it's weird to do while the franchise is active

            His explanation was kinda shit though. He basically said something like "being able to talk means they can't be bad". Even though there's tons of raiders, mutants, ghouls in Fallout that are generic enemies that you can't talk to.

            But yeah, talking deathclaws are still whatever. Apparently almost everyone of the dev team of 2 hated talking deathclaws too. The game really needed more dev time.

        I literally brought those up in my first post, you mongoloid.
        The only person who thinks this is a "fallout 1 gays against fallout 2 gays" here is you.

        You cannot deal with the fact that somebody pointed out that you are a just a monkey doing what he was told to do, and you project your own moronic tribalism all over this place.

        I'm not a Fallout 2 gay - I'm a person who genuinely plays both of them, and loves both of them, for what they are, and not for what is "cool to repeat on Ganker."

        VERY FIRST POST, the one that send you into absolute fricking hysteria, literally acknowledges the few very poor choices Fo2 made - the talking deathclaws, the entirety of San-fran - in subsequent posts I go into details on why Enclave does not work as an antagonist.

        It's just you who is locked into this pathetic tribal war, and then projects it all over me.

        Which is my point. That you are brain-dead. You are the one who associates his fricking entire identity with supporting one game over another, not me.
