Almost 30 years later, Fallout 1's depth of choice, chance, and consequence is still an RPG gold standard

  For anyone looking for the classic Fallout experience, the Wasteland series is better than anything you’ll get from Bethesda.

      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… :::

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

    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. :]

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

  Noah Gervais’ video essay on the whole Fallout franchise is an epic undertaking to watch all of - and I have done so twice. It’s delicious.
