So I've been doing a little looking into the first 2 Fallouts,

You probably wouldn't enjoy it if one of the other Fallouts was your first.

>how's the gameplay?
Well, it's a turn based isometric game so take that as you will.
All in all, completely different games in terms of gameplay.

>>384476143
Combat is mostly garbage for the first few hours or so, if you're only now getting into old rpgs you're probably better off puting it on easy and max speed in options. The rest is good, although I'd argue shit like skills were better handled in FNV.
Just go play them, you'll have good time exploring and questing.

This wasn't true for me as I went 3>NV>2>1 and I preferred the later ones over the 3d ones.

Yeah I loved Fallout 1 and 2 but I hated 3. New Vegas was pretty good

I think it has the better dialogue

Just keep in mind that even 1 and 2 are vastly different games when it comes to the setting and general atmosphere. 1 is a very oppressive game and is dark as hell even from the start you will feel completely lost and hopeless. And it carries throughout the whole game.Especially so when the REAL bad guys are revealed.

>try to play FO1
>shady sands fucking sucks literally everyone only talks about some dumbass go kill scorpions quest
>doctor says he wants a sample of scorpion venom to make a cure
>NPCs literally say the venom comes from it's tail
>go in the cave, kill a scorpion, almost die, put tail in inventory
>give tail to doctor in exchange for him healing me up
>doctor suddenly completely forgets that i gave him the scorpion tail, still tells me to fuck off and bring him venom
>nobody in the town acknowledges what i did
>well fuck that i'm gonna go get the water purifier at the vault
>can't kill a fucking molerat because somehow my character misses 3/4 of the knife swings, how's that even fucking possible this thing is literally as big as a pig
>die to a fucking molerat
fuck this, i don't remember the last time i had such a bad experience starting a new game. I'm guessing what you're supposed to do is spend hours upon hours grinding the rats at the vault entrance, leave and make them respawn, over and over, but it's definitely not worth it, fuck this game

How high was your perception?

>everyone shits on f3/nv writing

>f1 mutant master needs pure humans to create more intelligent super mutants
>in the bad ending he finds a vault of pure humans and has all of them killed

>f2 enclave needs pure humans to rebuild america
>in the intro they kill an entire vault of pure humans

None of the fallout games have very good writing. Fallout 4 still is one of the most poorly written video games ever created though. fuck bethesda

pretty low, but since i have very limited ammo, don't know where to buy any and don't have any money, i thought it'd be better to be very conservative with it and use more melee

>>384480079
you have to blow up the entrance to the scorpion cave, the bomb is in V15 IIRC

>>384481823
hey thanks!

>Being this bad at videogames
Boy, now i know why they are dumbing down every AAA title, so twats like you can get past the first level

>>384481924
I hope you know how to use the bomb tho

>>384476143
it's a classic turn based tabletop rpg game, if you played x-com it's the same

>skill under 100%
common beginer mistake
anything under 80% is utter trash
