so is this game supposed to be a matter of "it le gets better after x hours" or is everyone just blinded by nostalgia? because i didn't have fun
5/10 assuming not copypasta.

You can't play as a black person.

Post your 1 AGI character, I haven't seen it in ages.
>skip fallout 1
Stopped reading there
Either you go back and play that or kill yourself immediately
What kind of dumb faggot skips the first game in a SERIES?
>>322395961
the entire game is just one giant time limit, i don't want to feel stressed out from the moment i hit "start game"
>>322393873

Seriously?

Go play fucking Sims

What about savegames you dumb faggot
>>322396319
The time limit has been extended to like a year real time so you won't feel "stressed"
2 also has a time limit fyi, you dumb cuck
>>322396474

i'm not a compulsive saver, my last save was halfway between san fran and redding, savescumming around random encounters
The current generation in one post.
is this bait? I honestly can't tell, I've seen so many threads like this, but some are more subtle than others.
>>322393873
I know this is bait but you do realize most people didnt know fallout 1 and 2 were a thing until 3 came out right? Not long enough to be really considered nostalgia. That means a lot of people find it legit fun and you or whoever originally made this pasta is a faggot who hates fun.
>>322397221
no, honest
>>322397416
This, the only good thing 3 did for me was introduce me to the two prior games.
>>322393873
>>hes not even marked essential and dies
they way to is meant to be.
>>322393873

there is your problem, 2 is literally a meme game

Don't tell me these things.
>>322398464
explain why 1 is better than 2 and i'll consider trying it out
>use guide to cheese game
>complain its too easy
try actually playing the game faggot
>>322396319
There is no way you can not get the water chip in 150 days unless you intentionally wait out the timer.
>>322398753
No, go fuck yourself
>>322399038
Not him but exactly, you can't wanna know why? Because 2 IS better you super contrarian fuck.
>>322393873
>character creation right at the start, can only mess around with stats, cant even change appearance from a giant nigger
Can't make waifu boohoo
>guide tells me to head south to san francisco ASAP
Guide, I need to be hand held can't just follow the story in the actual game.
>accidentally one shot sulik with my super sledge
Wow, my actions have consequences, even the accidental ones, my followers are not gods! How can this be!
>skip fallout 1 because of the time limit
I just skipped 80% of of fallout 2 because of a guide, but I'm worried about a "time limit" that's like 3 times the amount you need to easily play through all of the game.
>>322399038
wew
>>322397416
I had fun with Isometric Combat so despite playing 3 and NV, what got me into playing 1 & 2 was Xcom: Enemy Within.
And I fucking loved 1 & 2.
>>322396319
Time limit is easily more than enough. Fallout 2 also has time limits on things. It just doesn't tell you until you start to take too long and you get visions to hurry up like 3 times before you fail. And it's also like 4 times the amount you should need to get shit done.
>>322395489
That guy who made threads with his horrible 1 agi build actually managed to finish the game. Pretty impressive for a first timer, or at least I hope he was a first timer.
>>322399037
>>322396319
250 Days when you meet the Water Merchants which is an even bigger excuse to ignore the time limit.
>>322399437
You get to the Hub by 100 days anyways, it's not like the game has the longest story if you speed through it.
>>322399170
>Not him but exactly, you can't wanna know why?
What?
>>322399602
Not gonna lie, I had a bit of panic with them cutscenes to hurry my ass up despiteNecropolisbeing my next stop so I did pay the Water Merchants when I had 90 days to go. Lol.
Fallout 1 is a very short game. I breezed through it in 12 hours and I wasn't even trying to finish it quickly. The time limit doesn't mean shit. Fallout 2 is longer and took me 30 hours to finish.
I have loved every fall out game. DESU
I played in this order
New Vegas
1
2
3
4
Say what you will about it, it's just the order I found the games.
The whole fallout series is incredibly fun in my opinion.
You're just a big meanie who likes raining on parades.
Also go fuck yourself with your guide book looser.
>>322399837
>Not him but, exactly, you can't, wanna know why?
Fixed just for ya meme master.
>>322400203
Didnt play tactics?
>>322400289
Thanks, I really had some trouble there.
>>322400289
actually i think it would be
>Not him, but exactly, you can't, wanna know why?
>>322398753
Not him but it has a better story and less pop culture references. The towns are better designed and all fit thematically with eachother and it's more solid overall quality wise. The wanamingo mine in F2 is terrible and there's more filler content.
>>322400351
Kinda, not really tho. It was different, and once i started playing 3 (my favorite in all honesty) It kinda got pushed under the rug.
>>322393873
>blow through the tutorial in a few minutes despite hearing nothing but complaints about how hard it is
don't lie to me you
nobody gets through FO2's "tutorial" first try
NOBODY
>>322399884
In my first time playing, last month, I got the 100 days cut scene when I was returning the waterchip.
No stress there.
>>322401150
Only people who never played an RPG before have trouble with it
Your thought process should be
>I specced guns but there are no guns here so I won't be able to fight these enemies
>I'll try running that's a good trick
>hey it actually works because the scorpions have fuck all AP
>>322399414
>actually managed to finish the game
That's amazing. No chance that was his first go though, the knowledge and determination it would take to work around 1AP from gamestart would be beyond even some veterans of the game.
Great threads anyway, I'll need to find his progress in the archive since it sounds like I missed the last half of it.
>>322401453
My thought process was.
>Enemies == exp. I need to kill those.
>Can't just manfight them, as I'm specced for guns.
>Have speed for days, can just kite them for days, until I hit with my 0.05% melee accuracy.
>>322401150
I played FO2 for the first time recently and thought the tutorial was pretty fucking simple, except for using the dynamite
My spear one shot those I think it was scorpions? so there was no trouble
And the guy at the end I just talked him down so whatever
>>322401453
>>322402373
It's pretty easy if you speced for melee combat.
>>322401150
I wanted to make a punchy kick character when I first played. Shit was easy.
>>322393873
>Brotherhood of Steal
lol
>>322401150
Is this some bullshit meme?
>>322402373
>accidentally set the dynamite for 20 seconds
>didn't drop it
>panic
>fumble around menu trying to drop it before it explodes
>finally get it out
>5 sec later it explodes
Never have I panicked so much in vidya
>Be 25, poorfag in 90's, no PC
>Spent most of the past few years playing all the classics like Planescape, Deus Ex, etc, having the time of of my life.
>Get to Fallout 1, realize there is a fucking global time limit.
I've never actually NOPED out of a game before and uninstalled it like that before. I've always had a rather autistic hatred for time limits in games, but toss one on the overall game, and it's a fucking cRPG? My brain hurts thinking about it.
>>322402906
Sauce?
>>322403081
You are a fucking retard.
Timelimit hasn't been an issue for over a decade since the first released patch ever released.
>>322403151
Stoya
i don't know which scene, but she makes those fucking faces in practically every one
>>322402661
I didn't spec melee, I went small guns and first aid
I just lucked out i guess
>>322403321
In fact its closer to two decades now for fuck sake.
>>322403081
You get so much time to get the water chip that its nearly impossible to fail unless you decide to wait the timer or suck something fierce
>>322403081
I'm pretty autistic when it comes to time limits but FO1s wasn't really an issue, I actually forgot about it at one point until the game reminded me.
