  I absolutely disagree about unplayable

    Definitely playable but it can be a chore at times. 2 is slightly better

      2 is significantly better imo mechanically, and if you throw a handful of mods on top of that I think it just plays really well in general.

      Apart from the beginning. I love FO2, but fuck the temple of trials and the first couple of hours.

        When I played through last I modded out the whole temple of trials. Such a waste of time.

    I’ve recently played it and it’s kinda unplayable on Steam. So many issues and errors refusing to start. The gog version however works perfectly for some reason and I’ve played through the story. Found some bugs here and there like some quest not registering and the ending not acknowledging the stuff I did at the town with the casino, not the one down south. Also can’t fucking believe the ::: spoiler spoiler Overseer kicks you out despite you saving the vault which is total bullshit… :::

  It’s absolutely not unplayable now. It’s not the slickest but it’s no worse than plenty of other modern indies.

  Look, I love Fallout. I did my best to play 1 and 2. I own em.
  I guess I’m doing something wrong. Unplayable. Literally.

  While I’m at it … New Vegas is ok. Meh. Fallout 3 was better. :]
