i kept hearing people say that the main quest of fallout 2 is weaker than the main quest of fallout 1 and while i tend to agree so far, i think i can also see that the main concern of this game wasn't the main quest but the world building. bethesda probably would have not known what to do with the fallout setting if fallout 2 hadn't added all of these concepts for them to expand on.
speaking of which, vic has probably hit me with friendly fire ten times more already than ian did in my entire playthrough of fallout 1, so i don't get why my man has had such an enduringly bad reputation.
i've said this before but one thing i love about playing classic fallout is seeing very clear blueprints of the same characters that would become more fleshed out versions later on. like how vic is always calling you boss or how katja is good with a power fist.
it's something i usually see much more often with film directors revisiting ideas they've toyed with before, so it's cool to see it in games for once as well.
old school crpgs are fun because so much stuff has long term consequences in the actual gameplay. you're underleveled so you grind xp but get a limb crippled by an enemy and it won't just heal over time. you always avoid risks and take the easy route and you'll earn xp at a snail's pace and be even more underleveled as you progress in the story. just an insane sense of risk and reward that modern games don't really have.
the atmosphere of the glow in fallout 1 is absolutely unparalleled. i understand the gameplay benefit of having your pip-boy have a clicking geiger counter now but i think the atmosphere absolutely suffers from not having radiation be this silent killer anymore.
the temple of trials in fallout 2 was really not as bad as years and years of complaints from people online had led me to believe. maybe it's just been 28 years of skill issues.
fallout 1 managed to accomplish something no future fallout game did and it's that i enjoyed joining the brotherhood of steel
after playing fallout 1 i feel like, in hindsight, i've been too forgiving of bad writing in old games when things of this level of quality have also existed all along.
