>>317654036
>excuse me mister huge gribbly nasty critter come to eat my face off. let me use my intellect and suave charm to joke andcajole you out of your clearly highly intelligent cu ningly formed plan of cold blooded murder. why you're obviously not a FUCKING ANT at all. but a human in disguise I can just talk to like anybody else.
in case you didn't get the fucking memo.ANIMALS cannot talk.and ddon't go huehuehue muh intelligent deathclaws. because their whole thing is to be the exception due to enclave fuckery.
just hit 1 and stealth walk away. even with no stealth skill a high agi character can literally walk circles around any critter in the fucking game.

If you're building a pacifist character you do not have to fight a single ant in the tutorial, you can walk straight past them to the exit and talk the caveman into letting you go
>>317655610
That's exactly what I was saying anon
>>317654387
just turn up the combat speed you boner
>>317655767
That's why I was highlighting your post :)
As a bonus the ants only have what, 3 or 4 movement points? So unless you went full retard and did a 1 agi build you can stroll right out of their aggro radius in one turn.
>>317655901
Alternately when combat starts, walk away, then because their sequence is shit and you get another turn immediately after your first, hit sneak and end combat.
>>317652992

I kinda wanted Intellegent Deathclaws to return, but it seems they never will. Goris was pretty cool.
>>317654036
What? I made a speech character last week, my first time playing FO2. You can talk your way out of the first human fight in the game.
From there you just use Sulik to clear mole rat cave, get a 10mm and you're set for the rest of the game, especially when you get the car and can go to Enclave for power armor.
You're a complete scrublord
>>317655295
>needs to go
Uhh yeah, I'm sure they'll fix that in the next patch?
>>317655123
Fallout Tactics is a bad game? I was interested in it since I like turn based strategy.
>>317657334
It's not. Brotherhood of Steel is, but Tactics is pretty solid once you get past the slow start. It's more combat centric than 1 and 2 obviously.
the people that whine about missing are the same ones that whine about it in Morrowind.
Why do people who hate RPG's play RPG's, then complain about their RPG gameplay?
>>317657747
Because they want Skyrim
>>317653770
fallout 2 literally punishes you for not tagging melee or unarmed at the beginning.
i love fallout 2, but even I can accept that the beginning is shit.
>>317657637
If you mean that 3-d " Brotherhood of steel" game, no, I wasn't interested in it.
Fallout 2 is one of my favorite games ever, buy if you say the intro isn't horrible then you're full of shit. ToT/Arroyo are a fucking chore if you don't have melee/unarmed, otherwise you may as well just run straight to Klamath
>>317657334
>>317657637
The only bad thing about Fallout Tactics is the difficulty curve forcing you into using heavy weapons ASAP. There's absolutely no place for the 'small guns' skill once you get to the beast tamers and onwards. Super Mutants can't even be touched by that shit and can instakill any of your guys with a single lucky burst since they're all carrying M60s or better. Melee is also totally unviable from start to finish, especially if you're playing it Real Time Turn Based.
>>317657747
Because thier first gaming platform was a 360 and thing older RPGs are just Skyrim with bad graphics.

i agree with you. i had the same experience in fallout 2 and never made it out of the intro level. I'm a huge fan of isometric RPGs too. I loved Pillars and divinity
>>317657709
I love Fallout 2 but hate Morrowind because missing in Fallout 2 actually makes sense.

Not that guy, but I'm pretty sure running a triathlon is nowhere near equivalent to jumping twice and swinging a sword about 8 times.
>>317659520
No, I just hate FO 2. I have played Baldurs gate and Planescape, and they are perfectly great to play despite the dated graphics. FO sucks donkey balls.
>>317657934
you need fight nothing at arroyo . you tard. plus there's two villagers who'll teach you melee and unarmed. then the boxer who's it at the first town teaches you some more unarmed. Enjoy your 75 in unarmed straight away.
>>317659480
There's no way to indicate that you character is out of breath, or any animation that shows any fatigue in Morrowind. Dice rolls in a first person game are retarded. It's done well in Fallout 2 because there's an animation that shows dodging and it has a distance meter.
>>317658765
That's what a fucking ROLE PLAYING game is you dummy, not some homogenized action game that just lets you be amazingly proficient in everything you want to do.
I can't believe it's gotten to the point where even a semblance of rules enforced within a game gets people in a little hissy fit just because they can't be some literal manifestation of a god on earth in a genre that's not supposed to be like that.

The temple of trials is fucking garbage and I hate it but god damn you guys are acting like it takes more than ten minutes to get through. I fucking killed everything with a spear when I tagged Small Guns, Speech, and Lockpick and the only advantage I had was lockpicking doors (not needed, you get explosives in jars if I remember correctly) and not having to fight the guy at the end.
Is he the issue? I never fought him so disregard that I suck cocks if he's the reason everyone hates this part.
>>317659709
fine. go be a prisoner in a medieval dungeon with thw beatings andvtorture. disease and privation. then run and jumpa bit aafter being freed. enjoy your poor diet and health causing you to die from it.
your character is basically fresh out of auschwitz.
I was making an assumption that the guy I replied to wasn't a 700 kg neckbeard fatty with lung cancer and could do reasonable activity. so u suggested an activity comparable to the proportion of activity you put a new character through in morrowind.

Yup. If Interplay had their way, there'd be weed in Fallout. There was also "smooch" in Van Buren which was the Fallout "don't get us in trouble it's not a real drug okay" version of weed.

Arroyo is far as fuck away from SF. It takes literal weeks to get there. Trade/cultural diffusion don't happen in FO anymore because if a group of people has something good going for them, they are either going to hide forever like Arroyo or just fucking build a wall with guns like anyone else.
How hard is that to understand?

They wear robes which THEY produced. that is LITERALLY more believable than a bunch of people walking around in dirty pre-war clothes, no matter which way you look at it.
I actually liked Fallout 1 much better than 2.

They had pre war ancestors, had history of the pre war times and also could speak english to communicate with the outsiders who definitely passed through those areas. They didn't have that tribal lifestyle because they had to, its because they CHOSE to , implying the writers thought it would be "cool" to have a village of tribals in 2100 just showing the fact they were retarded.
>>317661397
>>317661634
The gameplay improvements of 2 make it a better game, but Fallout 1 has the best atmosphere and feel in the entire series.
It's haunting and creepy. You can see the results of a nuclear apocalypse and hear stories about how it happened but never actually see it.
Fallout 1 is probably the scariest game I have ever played and it isn't even a horror game.

Why would you put points in melee faggot? If you're not doing a melee build it's wasted points. Points spent on agility don't affect point you can put in speech retard. Also doing that once or twice to kill a couple ants and spending about 1 minute each time isn't that boring. It's a lot less boring than the tedious long opening tutorials in Bethesda's Fallout games.
>>317652992
You can kill all the ants and scorpions while taking no damage 100% of the time.

Game punished you for fucking it up your character, I don't see what's the problem here? It's much more satisfying acknowledging your mistakes, learning from it and overcoming a challenge. Because besides being a medium for entertainment, it was once also a medium for challenging you in various ways.
And I know it's bait but in case anyone takes it seriously, for the underage and dudebros posting about
>Ey fag get a life nerd we ain't got 200+ hours
First of all, sorry that you're literally too stupid and need 200+ hours to understand what you're doing wrong and immediately blame the game mechanics. Second, if you want brainless handholding entertainment where you can be excused for every single possible fuckup you can make or never be assed to do or think about anything beyond a toddler's perception go play fallout 4 instead then :^)

I'd say the aftermath of the Deathclaw colony was a pretty unhappy/shocking moment, especially since you spent all that time helping them out. It sucks that the game's vanilla state had all that content cut from them.
I do remember that FO2 went a little overboard with the jokes. While many were funny, they crowded out the serious moments too much.
>>317666290
You don't need 10 str, 4 to use most weapons and 6 to get max 10 once you get the power armor.
Agi is obviously the best stat, good AC, AP etc.
Really easy to get both the supersledge and power armor if you know what you're doing, I seriously hope you didn't choose stealth just for this.
stealth overall is pretty underwhelming, the level design isn't always built around it, especially in the main quest underground areas
lockpicking is only viable if you're not down to savescum, 75% will open most doors.
>>317666562
which is why they made unarmed particularly high for everyone
>>317661221
Fallout 1 is really short. Like 10 hours. I finished it in about 2 days. It's also easy as fuck.

FO is smaller than the rest of the games, but my first playthrough was easily 25-30 hours.
FO2 is much larger, and I spent about 40 hours on it.
But in both those games you start to fuck around a lot looking for new shit, doing sidequests, and whatnot. The main quests are considerably shorter.

>>317667878
Its true though. All the FO2 fangays can claim is good about their precious "rpg" is the music and story, the music is definitely atmospheric and good, the story is decent.
The gameplay is retarded.
The mechanics are retarded.
The skill system is retarded.
>>317654304
>RPG
>cant play unless you play a certain way
>>317668038
>"rpg"

Any build that isnt a combination of AGI and unarmed falls flat on its face in the first 10 minutes of the game.
This game is shit.
Early on pretty much it's all luck because you miss so fucking much just because you're not high enough level, in the middle it's pretty decent damage on either side is consistent, but then the end of the game is even worse once you get the Advanced Power Armor everything either does 0 damage or it crits you and pierces the armor for 700 damage and instantly kills you.
>>317668320

ABOO ITS NOT A SHITTY MODERNIZED SHOOTER

>best RPG of all time, totally better than Fallout 4
fallout 4 isnt an rpg
I finished FO1 this morning and I can't wait to start 2. FO1 was kinda glitchy, though. Also, very little weapon variety. I had intended to go through the game going pistols/handguns only, but the strongest pistol in the game isn't very good. I only used it for fighting weaker things, but going up against super mutants I used that upgraded plasma rifle which is so much better than every other weapon in the game, holy fuck.
Also, I wasn't able to get the power armor because the Brotherhood of Steel glitched out and I wasn't able to get in. Cabbot stopped working properly.
JRPGs did turn based combat better than WRPGs.
Fite me.
>>317668882
FO1 is like a haze to me, I was shit and most things kill me then all of a sudden I get a plasma rifle and power armor and finish the game in like 10 minutes killing every thing in one shot.
What did I do right?
>>317668849
You're expected to use common sense. It's a post-apocalyptic setting where people are literally dying of starvation, it says so right in the beginning of the game, even if you tagged energy weapons you could still keep it as a tertiary option and make a good character.
Did you seriously expect to find laser guns right off the bat? Please explain this logic to me. In a world devastated by nukes, everyone is literally in fucking shit, and the first 10 or so areas you visit are literally filled with degenerates fucking each other over power or drugs. In what universe did you fucking expect energy weapons you dweeb? Common sense.
>>317668882
>FO1 was kinda glitchy, though
fallout 2 has even more glitches, make sure to save a lot on different slots
also small guns are much better in 2bonus rate of fire+double action boy+fast shot+sniper+gauss pistol is the greatest thing ever
Some people in this thread are retarded and some are huge nostalgia fags, obviously if you make a retard build and you always miss and do no damage that just means your shit, missing should only be a problem for the first 1 or 2 levels if you didn't fuck up your build, but RNG is dumb ass hell in this game the fact that pretty much any enemy with a higher tier gun than a pistol can get a crit that instant kills you no matter what armor you have is fucking stupid.
>>317669241
>any enemy with a higher tier gun than a pistol can get a crit that instant kills you no matter what armor you have is fucking stupid
>But mom! I picked 1-3 luck why is this happening to me????
I'm playing FO2 right now and having a blast.
The first town dragged a bit but I just finished business in Modoc and headed off towards Vault City, and I noticed how this game is slowly becoming more and more addictive.
Combat is more fun too ever since I got an Assault Rifle.
>tfw every single one of my followers has died so far, besides Goris
What am I doing wrong?
>>317669730
brining them with you is a death sentance
>>317652992
The problem is that the game was built to make sense, a lot of the things in the fallout 2 are tailored to fit within the described fictional universe, the jokes being the cherry on top. It's very straightforward, you want to hit stuff? Level the according skill and have the according special attribute. It's not rocket science guys.
Meanwhile you have these people coming in from newer games, that do not make sense, and have not been made to make sense but to provide mindless entertainment. Hence the disconnect and the majority of problems with the builds. The fault lies within yourselves, not within the intrinsic qualities of the game.
>>317669723
I think the biggest problem woth Fallout 2 is how much you'll encounter bullet sponges like Wanamingos or Floaters
>>317669197
My whole point is that the person has never played the game, therefore he doesn't know shit about whether energy weapons are a common thing or no. It's supposed to be sci-fi and you can assume that in a sci-fi world laser weapons are fairly common.
Just admit that in order to do anything in this game you must metagame. Even if you assume that energy weapons are rare, conventional weapons and ammo are also scarce which means that a gun build is also going to have trouble.
>>317669394
I had 6 luck, also I don't think your own luck effects enemy criticals but whatever
Honestly, the starting area for Fallout 2 fucking sucks. You get given a spear and are expected to deal with a bunch of ants and radscorpions even if you didn't even pick melee, whereas in FO1 you get given a gun, some ammo and a knife and other supplies so you get to choose and are just up against a few rats which you can easily bypass and run to the exit.
>>317668587
Congrats ! You're a confirmed autist.
>>317668752
No, YOU played the game better, YOU slogged through it and YOU made a huge effort to play it . Not everyone likes everything and is capable of everything. FO2 is objectively shit, no matter how much you defend it.
>>317660405
>People dont have 200 + hours to master this retarded point and click system
>tfw I played the first Fallout 3 months before FO4's release and didn't have any problem
I'm not surprised though, when I see how stupid some let'splayers can be. You probably can't read for shit and have a very short attention span.
>>317662503
You did it and seem to do okay
>>317669812
Dont project your autistic view on everyone you faggot. Dont pretend the combat system and level design is anything other than terrible.
>>317670298
And don't pretend the game is bad just because you suck ass at it.
>>317662549
I am genuinely not okay with reading this at 1am.
>>317670187
Congrats, you slogged through a mess of a game for its "story" and because people on the internet told you its "good", you probably read guides to it, became cognizant of the mechanics and skills beforehand, and basically contrived a very rigid playstyle to beat the game comfortably, all under the pretense of playing a "rpg". good job anon, you're one of the sheeple.
>>317665741
That's v for you.
>>317670454
I suck ass at it because its so terribly created. Come up with better arguments than "YOU SUCK LMAO".
>>317652992
this might be the worst bait i have ever seen.
>>317669895
You are actually, legitimately retarded.
Not two sentences in, I wrote that the game let's you know about the nature of it's state and universe and I quote again
>It's a post-apocalyptic setting where people are literally dying of starvation
They state this in the opening video.
They state this in fallout 1.
It's something you have to understand yourself if you use any semblance of a brain as to what happens when nukes destroy everything.
and then I specifically add on to it that even if you DIDN'T pay attention or think about that, the game excuses you for being a complete shit and lets you know about it when you get to the first city. By that point, you can still rethink your character.
>It's supposed to be sci-fi
>sci-fi
man... just
where do you even come from
even if you assume it's a sci-fi, jesus christ, don't ever say it out loud, please. Even if you assume that you still have to wonder that compared to simple pistols it must be pretty powerful, and powerful weaponry is always closely guarded technology, something you woulnd't be able to get your hands off right off the bat, like see, these are the things that determine what it means to have common sense, I haven't said anything that hasn't been really really basic shit you have to ask yourself when you read something
>Just admit that in order to do anything in this game you must metagame.
Of course you can metagame, but you don't have to in order to choose the proper skills or make a working build. Metagaming just helps you get shit done faster and make autistic min max builds, it's not an argument towards whether or not the game is viable for playthroughs only with it. And you're the one who needs to admit that they made a mistake, couldn't recover from it and now are blaming anything but that. Furthermore, you need to get some reading comprehension going on because you haven't paid attention to what I've said, possibly in the same way you didn't pay attention at the game.
>>317670614
god, lol'd so hard... why don't they make dialogue like that anymore?
>>317670761
If you can't enjoy the game because you don't like turned based combat then boo hoo for you, but some people like the game. It's not like you're going to change anyone's mind by posting your opinions on /v/ so why does everyone gotta fight?
>>317671070
to be fair, just having turn-based combat shouldn't make anyone say it's a bad game.
i personally don't like turn-based combat but i still love the game
>>317668882
>the strongest pistol in the game isn't very good
anon, the strongest pistol in the game is thealien blasterwhich is actually the strongest weapon in the entire game, and it doesn't have special ultra limited ammo either
>>317671031
>weapons are rare, conventional weapons and ammo are also scarce
Now this is what's pissing me off.
I had ammo bleeding out of my fucking ears and I was using an automatic and a rifle, because all I did was just manage my fucking shit and sell the shit I didn't need. Not rocket science, not even with high barter. Just really tedious but ultimately rewarding going from one trader to the other and jewing them out of caps, buying ammo and jewing other traders out of their caps. Basic fucking economy 101. If you can't figure this out, how are people supposed to take anything you say seriously.
>>317671278
I mean I just find it really stupid how people just "debate" video games and it's always just "YOUR GAMES SUCK" "NO YOURS DO" like someone is just gonna be like huh my games do suck thanks for showing me the light my friend. Just people enjoy your damn games, shit.
>>317670623
Take note, m80s.
This is level of mental gymnastics a sperg has to go through to convince himself he's not retarded.
>>317671070
Its ok if you like a style of combat which is extremely rigid and clunky. Just dont go and pretend its amazing and say its for everyone, while attacking anyone who criticizes it.
>>317660405
I got fallout when I was 7.
7. Motherfucker.
7 year old me was a god damn retard and I played the shit out of fallout just fine.
I'll come right out and say it: Anyone that find fallout confusing or "difficult" in the sense of mechanics doesn't deserve the computer they're using.
No seriously. Fuck off.
>>317670160
get a load of this hot opinion
>>317671565
I don't say it's for everyone. I don't say any game is for everyone because everyone is different, just people need to learn to not be so fucking sensitive. It's a game not their balls.
>>317671031
You are assuming I talk from my own experience which is not true because I played FO1 before FO2 so I knew what to expect. Except that in FO1 they at least give you a gun in the beginning. Here you are given a only a spear and are expected to go through a dungeon right off the bat. The game is pretty good but very unwelcoming and it requires you to play the first game or use a guide. IMO that's not good design.
>>317670160
>open game
>spend 2 minutes reading skill/stat/perks descriptions
>plan for around 2 more minutes what I want to do
>YOU slogged through
>YOU made a huge effort to play it
>huge effort
The extent of the huge effort was that I was conflicted when my armor was getting pierced and I had to figure out how to deal with it. That was the length of the mental gymnastics I ever went through to play this game, again sorry you're stupid, on the bright side you don't have to worry about being stupid for future game releases though, it won't be a problem at all considering the state of the industry and the catering it does.
>>317671590
Congrats gramps, but we have come a long way since you were 7 and FO was released. This is basically saying "BAck in my day kiddo ". Theres a reason why the turn based system was discarded for better styles. Dont just praise a game because you grew up with it.
if you really somehow suck at fo2 this bad I'd recommend you just look up how to get the powerarmor at the very beginning and then play the game like normal
>>317671985

>>317671702
Have you seen the amount of cocksucking and fangayism for Fo2 and 1 ? Its ridiculous to the point of people being completely delusional about the games. The mechanics and level design are objectively bad yet people defend them like they are the holy bible.

If you can't figure out why he mentioned his age in the post then you're on a whole other level there. I will enlighten you, just for the sake of keeping this discussion going, and since I actually feel mildly entertained by the benefit of the doubt of whether or not you're this much of an imbecile or baiting. It was to show the drastic difference between your mental capacity at your young adult age and his at a very young one, not to "praise the game because he grew up with it", in other words his mention of his age had nothing to do with sentimental attachment and everything with the difference in intellect and how he amusingly compared you slower than a 7 year old, to which I wholeheartedly agree.
>>317672224
Don't say objectively bad. That's your problem. You don't say "oh it's undeniable" or something similar when you're calling a game bad. It's still your opinion and no matter what someone some where will have an opposite opinion. Sure you might not agree with them but when you're throwing out words like "objectively bad" people might get a little more pissed off that way.
>>317671985
I'm on your side that FO2's Combat isn't very good. But fuck you man turn based has not been thrown out the window, there are plenty of games released even this year that have turn based system. Turn based isn't bad inherently, its only bad when there's a huge amount of RNG involved.
>>317671925

I always knew this day would come. One day most of /v/ will agree with this little shit. I've already lingered here for too long.
FO2 is soooooooooooo boring. Dialogue is pretty good though, and lore is fun to know even if it got fucked up by FO3, bandaged together by NV and shit on again by FO4.

How is this good in any way ? There are so many RPG's which have the option of keeping combat to a minimum while enjoying other playthroughs, FO makes you deliberately involved in combat which is extremely vexing.
>>317673374
Well I feel it has more RNG involved than most Turn based games these days. I really liked it especially when I had a sniper who looked exactly like Hulk Hogan. Ending really crapped out though. Especially when the woman I choose had a mans voice..
>>317673414
All I'm saying is don't call your opinion fact because other people find your opinion shitty. People can enjoy their games and some people get touchy about their games. It's not your right nor your job to try and change their views on things
>>317671565
Fallout's system is not clunky. Its just not an FPS.
A game like NwN was clunky and rigid. Great game, but the criticisms you're leveling would at least be valid for it. But Fallout is a solid isometric turn based game mechanically. There's not a lot of shit hidden and the interface makes shit pretty clear, unlike some older games where shit in the system was hidden all the time.
Besides, you have the internet now to fill the holes in for you. If you don't have the ability/patience to make a respectable build just look one up. I'm sure there's plenty of builds that will make the game easy for you.
>>317673414
But in FO2 you CAN keep combat to a minimum by as you said, trying to flee, using the survival skill on the world map to avoid random encounters, and other shit.
>>317673543
I want to give it a try sometime, especially because of those aliens that infect you or something like that. But contrary to what /v/ thinks there are a shit ton of games to play right now so that might get pushed back to next summer which I think doesn't have any interesting releases and I hope to be done with DS3.
>>317671843
>it requires you to play the first game or use a guide. IMO that's not good design.
Mother fucker I played FO2 before 1, I was 10 years old and didn't even have internet and after about a half hour I was out of the first dungeon.
I genuinely don't understand how anyone had enough difficulty that they're still mad about it 17 years after it came out.
Ten years old, mother fucker. Ten. Years. Old.
>>317673818
I got it while it was cheap. Might go on sale this winter seeing as XCOM 2 isn't that far away. I would recommend it, just would recommend taking some starting tips. It's a lot easier getting your foot in the door in a certain area with certain upgrades than it is saving up your resources

The story was kind of interesting and I liked the general atmosphere better than any of the next gen Fallouts but it's just so, so dated.
I'm going to be playing 2 next, which I hear is a lot better than 1 but I still think New Vegas is the best in the series. You have the 3D world and real time combat that removes the drudgery of turn based combat and praying for crits while still keeping elements of story and atmosphere that make it feel like a Fallout game.
>>317673414
>FO makes you deliberately involved in combat
Bullshit.
>>317673651
And this is why you're a fangay, deflecting all opinions of Fo2 while saying "you dont speak for everyone and aren't allowed to have an opinion of your own, whatever criticism you have on FO are your own critique and if you cant play it, its YOUR fault not the game's ". Just fuck off faggot, dont pretend to be a pacifist and try to have a civilized conversation when you're a deluded fuckkboi who cant accept any objective criticisms about your game.

>>317674159
You being unable to figure out the game that 7 and 10 year olds do does not make it bad, it makes you a retard.
Yes FO2's intro is heavily, heavily flawed.
First of all, ofc the usual player will level firearms first, cause it's basically the skill where you can't fucking go wrong. OH EXCEPT YOU CAN.
Cause the first dungeon, when playing like a normal first timer who is trying to figure shit out, would quickly realize that you gotta have melee weapons skilled just to get through in any normal manner.
"B-b-but you can just run through!"
Who the fuck knows to do that when they first play??
>>317674458
um, i've never put a single point in melee/unarmed in fallout 2, always killed every enemy in the temple and 0 problems.
also never played it on easy either, so the real question is, how retarded do you have to be to not be able to get through it? i mean seriously, i don't even understand how someone can fail, do people literally run around their opponents,wasting their APs ?

bull fucking shit. Fastest melee attacks require 3ap, even if you have the minimal 6 ap and the gecko has 10, you only need to be farther than 2 hexes away from it to just run the fuck away and exit the area without it ever attacking you.
>>317674458
No one KNOWS to do anything the first time they play anything, the whole concept of a video game is that if you aren't retarded you can figure it out.
>>317674361
Those are not the game deliberately forcing you into combat. Those are the consequences of choosing the skills you chose. There is a difference. They don't put you in a locked room that will only unlock when you defeat the enemy.
Try putting some points into Survival and Agility next time instead of going full retard and maxing out Speech as fast as possible.
>>317674458
This was my character from playing fallout 2 the first time ever. Got through the intro pretty smoothly too. Just check the pots for healing powder and you'll be okay mostly.
