Can we take the time to say that Fallout 2 was good.

>>383297942
And it's even better with the Restoration Project.

>>383297942
Is it the best example of how to do a sequel?

>>383299025
This
Gothic II
and Baldur's Gate II
Are how you do sequels

>>383299025
In some ways, sure. It expands upon the original in both story and gameplay while keeping all the things that made the original good. One thing it did wrong was inflate the original's pop culture references and silly comedy.

It's amazing how much was cut yet it rare to notice something blatantly unfinished. Looking at you, Shadow Who Walks.

Fallout 3 was bad

>>383297942
It would sweet to see the original fallouts and other good, but dated, games on mobile instead of candy crush and clash of micro transactions.

Man, Vault City was such a cool place, especially the first time you visit, with all the requirements for getting in and how hard it is to become a citizen.
Truth be told all the locations in Fallout 2 were fantastic
Am I the only one who prefers Fallout 1 though? That game really sucked me in

>>383299925
Fallout 3 is still bad even with mods.

>>383300057
It's possible that you enjoyed fallout 1 for the desolate/bleak feeling ingame. At least I did. It also didn't help for fallout 2 that they added popculture into it

>>383299940
You can actually play f1 and 2 on android

I prefer Fallout 2 myself but i definitely see why Fallout 1 would be a favorite.

>>383300057
Fallout 1 is much better as a whole do to a consistent atmosphere. Fallout 2 is a better RPG, but I on't like it as much.

>>383300371
>fallout 2 that they added popculture into it
I was really impressed with Fallout 1's South Park reference, seeing as the show debuted only a couple months before the game released.

>>383300371
And when I mean bleak,desolate. I mean that it was a feeling like humanity was trying to rise again, just barely getting by. And it was almost done for again by the super mutants. Which couldn't reproduce to so that would have killed off most intelligent beings in the world

it was fun but playing it after underrail and wasteland 2 left alot to be desired in terms of interface

wish i would have played it back in the day

>Fallout 2 has almost no talking heads

What the fuck? In F1, every city had at least one distinctive NPC with fully rendered mug and quality voiceacting and it really breathed a whole new level of atmospehere into each location. I really missed that in the sequel.

>>383301727
At least you get an entertaining talking head companion.

>>383297942
i immediately lost interest after aztec got involved. two fucking aesthetics that shouldnt ever come together.

It's really hard for me to explain, Fallout 2 just felt easier you know? Like in Fallout 1, getting a power armor and a plasma rifle was a huge, game changing thing. Most of the game is spent like, fighting radscorpions. So when you finally join the BoS and invade Mariposa it feels like a huge deal.
Fallout 2 starts like that, and its peak is in the Vault City section. The whole Bishop conspiracy thing was also great. But after that the game feels like such a breeze.
I don't know, maybe its just nostalgia goggles

>>383301727
See? Even though it's good it could still have been better.
I can't wait for a true Fallout 3.

>>383301967
But talking head companions are a terrible idea, it's already enough of a pain having to fuck around in their dialog to get them to stay/follow, don't add a goddamn voice to it.

You anger da spirits, fren. Sulik no wants to walk the by and by wit you.

Fo2 is alot wackier than the first one. The first has a serious grimdark vibe but in fo2 you become a goddamn porn star

But you claiming it's wrong to have more pop culture and "meme" stuff is just an opinion

I thought most of them were well placed and the so called "meme-ist" ones you had to go well out of your way to find


I think Fallout 2 is the pinnacle of the Fallout series. The amount of content, even pre-Restoration patch, is staggering. The amount of stuff buried deep within the game means that even on 10+ playthrough's you can be finding new things every time. When I did my cheat run with 10 to all stats, I found out just how much stuff is locked behind SPECIAL checks. You could get tons upon tons of more quests and stuff doing a cheat run and have just as much fun in the process as even with 10 to all stats, that didn't mean you were invincible by any means. Squills could still fuck your shit up if you weren't careful

>>383303371
I think you have it backwards. In 1, society is beginning to rebuild, and although theres black spots (The master, the raiders, Gizmo) the tone on the whole is hopeful
Meanwhile, in 2, society is pretty much back in a Wild west sort of way, but it is dark and degenerate. Xenophobia, Poverty, and selling Vice is a regularly accepted thing.
More pop culture references yes, but I feel like Fallout 2 was a much darker game, probs the darkest of the fallouts

>>383301727
Who should have been the talking heads in the F2 towns without one?
>Den
Metzger or Mom.
>Modoc
I dunno. Town was boring as shit. Maybe the leader of the Slags or Cornelious.
>Redding
The Sheriff
>New Reno (Myron doesn't count)
One of the drug dealers would be best; they shouldn't all be the most prominent person in town. Probably Jagged Jimmy J
>Raider Base
The whole quest would need to be expanded, but Shadow Who Walks or one of the raider lieutenants
>Vault 15
The doctor being held hostage
>Vault 13
Deathclaw mother
>Mariposa
Melchior
>San Fran
Dr. Fung

>>383304110
>Den
Agree on Metzger. Laura would be another good candidate.

>Modoc
Family members you can shotgun wedding, or maybe the dad

>Redding
One of the mine foremen IMO, but Sheriff is a good choice

>New Reno
Algernon (the drug store clerk)

>San Fran
The Dragon

Agree with the rest of the choices.
