Playing it for the first time. So far, I'm pretty addicted. Time flies faster than with any other I've played.

>>386494780
It is as hard as i remember ? wolves fucked me good.

>>386495030
I admit I'm a casual and had only played 3 and New Vegas, so I was a little afraid of playing Fallout 1. However, even with no experience on it, I quickly grew accustomed to it. I've gotten into a few fights I couldn't manage, but there's a huge factor of chance. It's not really that hard.

>>386495259
I think fallout 1 was easier than 2 thought, maybe because fallout 2 was a bit bigger and animals appeared in less numbers.

>>386495441
I still have 2 left to play. Also, I admit my opinion is kind of uninformed because I haven't faced against any supermutants yet.

I love arcanum. Fantastic world/lore, and my favorite video game music (dat romantic strings chamber music ost). It was pretty buggy on release but terra arcanum mod/patch fixed everything.

>>386495567
>>386495720
But what about Wasteland 1 & 2?

Is this Wonderwall?

I thought it was a bit weird seeing a homeless man in a Vault, but I just took the Maybe song as an indicator.
Still, I don't mind the correction.

fallout games spam Ink Spots in all their games presumably because when they were making 1 and wanted some realistic old song on a budget, they checked the "band nobody cares about with cheap licensing fees" bin and have been milking that negroid cow ever since.

the song "maybe" is in like 3 of the games at least, not counting other Ink Spots songs.

>>386496927
He's not homeless, just a bit eccentric. He's tending to the lower levels of Vault City's vault. He sings that song to himself occasionally.

>>386497397
While that is true, I identify that song with Fallout 1 more than with any other just because it's the song that plays during the opening.

>>386496927
> I just took the Maybe song as an indicator
It's one of the "nicer" references in Fallout 2.

Well, as I've stated before, I have yet to play Fallout 2.

ooooooo

>>386495567
I'd rather play Fallout 3 and 4 than Fallout Tactics and Tactics than Arcanum. I fucking hate that game for having hands down the worst RPG combat I've ever seen.

>>386496567
BECAUSE MAYBEEEE

why the heck are people so buttblasted by arcanum combat anyway

it is a complete mess of balance . . . just like every other CRPG of that era. have fun winning fallout 1 with anything but small guns as a new player. at least in arcanum, melee, throwing, and even magic are all noob friendly. none of the builds are impossible tier, hell I beat the game with a "mad bomber" style dwarf throwing explosives I made out of rags from dumpsters. in fallout, throwing is damn near useless. and my very first playthrough was real time melee barbarian which was easy as hell, I didn't even know that most people consider arcanum real time to be impossible (until I played non-melee)

arcanum combat is literally miles better than fallout 1 and 2 combat. but somehow people keep reeeeeeing because why? guns are bad? in fallout half the damn builds are auto-lose.

>>386496007
Not the combat unfortunately. Melee destroys EVERYTHING and, even though you can gimp your own character a little to keep the game challenging, companions level up on their own and many of them focus exclusively on melee.

>>386499374
Adding to that, I remember choosing Magnus, Sebastian and Virgil as companions, not because I liked them as characters, but because they were pretty much the only ones with balanced builds that never became overpowered. Some of the most interesting characters lore wise (the dwarf king comes to mind) were just too overpowered to keep.

What's the best run to do in Fallout 1 and 2?

>>386500181
Jesus run.

>>386500181
for both games, tag:
small guns
>best balanced weapons that make the game not too hard but not too easy
lockpicking
>really comes in handy for exploration and getting loot when you really need it
speech
>pretty much every fallout game shines the most when you have high speech and get more options/story and alternate ways to solve quests

gifted trait is pretty much mandatory, those extra SPECIAL points really help, and the downside barely matters. agility 10 is pretty much mandatory for any build, and you need good perception to actually hit things with your guns. next charisma, then intelligence, then endurance, then strength, then luck. just make sure you have like 5 strength so you can use most of the small guns.

>>386500762
I'm kind of concerned, because I've finally met the mutants at Necropolis and I don't know if I'll be able to make it through with only 8% in energy weapons. How far into the game can small guns take me?

>>386501306
To the end.

>arcanum combat is literally miles better than fallout 1 and 2 combat.
If you're blind. It's worse in every single way unless you get a boner from spellcasting.

>>386501306
creep past those niggas, and your skill level is too low for energy weapons to be effective in your run at that point.

Who here ran the nice unarmed playthroughs

Always the best time in the game when you punch anyone or anything do death.

>>386501306
Sneak pickpocket lit dynamite/cordex into the mutants' inventories.

For starters, you can basically kick the lungs out of your opponents/victims.

Fuck, I misread it. I thought that anon meant a pacifist run with the Bloody Mess perk

Finished FO1, about 20 hours into FO2. Thought FO1 was okay, but loving FO2 so far.

One thing that is bugging me, but I've always been told that the original Fallout games heavily featured 1950's Americana imagery or subversion of the culture of the time, but I'm really not seeing much of it at all. It's like 98% post-apocalyptic wasteland.

>>386503038
who?

>>386492863
Radio stations were a mistake.

>>386495745
Arizona was alright, California was garbage.

>>386503308
yes

>>386492863
Fuck FO3 and 4's music

>>386503379
radio stations themselves werent the problem. the problem was that there weren't enough different kinds of songs and no new songs from musicians of the wasteland either paired with bethesda's engine not being able to randomize said songs properly on the radio.

>>386503183
Bethesda basically went full meme-tier with this whole 50's thing. The old games had the "SCIENCE-stuff" (like robots and plasma), spandex and some posters, apart from that... (?)

>>386503183
It's not readily apparent unless you look at the cars and a few of the building motifs.

Bethesda really just amped it up to 11 and made everything a sort of wonky 1950's sci-fun shit setting when really it was pretty bleak. Everything was modern in the first two it just diverged from our timeline and kept some things we didn't. Magnetic tape and shit for example.

That said, back when these games were made a lot of the people who made them had used magnetic tape storage and shit growing up. Like the 80's already was the science fiction of the future to the 50's. So it was really kind of hard to place and alien on purpose, just recognizable enough to draw you in, but alien enough to make it feel off.

Bethesda was just "Lol old stuff is funny!"

>>386503958
That and the songs literally talk about the end of the world or things related to nuclear bombs.

Some of them were catchy but seriously, why try so fucking hard to be a Fallout game

>>386503183
Blame Bethesda for that. As you said originally it was just the theme, the imagery wasn't important since the wasteland was what it mattered. But those faggots went full memelord and try to push it as much as they could just like the vaultboy

>>386503183
>>386504072
>>386504117

What you see in the Fallout universe is scraps of the old world coupled with people who can't let go of the past, that's like the main theme which is carried in 1, 2 and New Vegas.

3 and 4 look like they were made by the kid who tries too hard to fit in

>>386504124
true, they also should have tried selecting music that related more to the place they were in than just the theme of fallout itself. its like if they set the game in new orleans and the only music they use is classical

>>386504310
The thing is: This "old world" never existed, pre-war America was a fucked up place.
