I installed 2 yesterday after /v/ started shitting on 4 and told me to play the old Fallouts to see what they are "supposed to be like".

I literally can't kill the first two ants. It's impossible. I've died to them more than 10 times in a row now.

This is fucking ridiculous. There's nothing I can do. If this is what the old Fallout were like, I'd rather stick with the new ones.

The fact that you can "get" FO3 makes it painfully obvious you're just going off what you've read on /v/. After playing 4, I could never play 3 again. It's a better designed game all around. Even NV would be difficult. The only saving grace is the writing and characters are still better.

Fallout 4 fanboys are the most belligerent out there, they are borderline ISIS when it comes in not being able to take any form of criticism on their game.

It wasn't like this, up to New Vegas, FO1/2 discussions were still very welcome in any FO thread, but now with FO4, there's this massive butthurt and flaking to anyone who dares insult the holy Fallout 4.

I picture your character, this pretty buff handsome guy with no shirt, just trying his damnedest to smash these two stupid ants but he just cannot.

He's standing there clumsily trying to crush them under foot, failing every time while the ants slowly chew his asshole off.

Someone will find his body, wondering what had transpired there. How could such a normal functional man die like that to such a menial creature ?

He must have been a clumsy fuck.

>>
>>316600739
This has to be shitposting, right? In FO1/2 Agility is extremely important, it accounts for a lot more than in the newer games, such as being able to attack more than once. Second, where the fuck is your spear? You just drag it and drop it into your hand in the inventory screen, it's not hard.

Your stats are kind of fucked. Grab 10 agility and 9 intelligence, they're the most important. Agilty gives you more AP to perform actions and increases your armor class, making you harder to hit. Since it's at one, then no doubt the ant will hit you every single time. Perception is way too high. Really, you don't want any stats below 5 (except maybe strength, I'd go with 4) since dialogue/non-combat is a huge part of the game. You can even fuck people to get money or car upgrades, but only as female. I took Agility at 9 my first playthrough for some extra points. Int gives you more points and lots of dialogue.

FO1/2 are fantastic but they're unwieldy since they're so old. Lots of good traits of RPGs, especially characters. I got through the entirety of Fallout 1 with Dogmeat, shit was hard but well worth it, if not just to bond with man's best friend.
>>
>>316601639
Yea, as a trait you could pick in the beginning.
>>316601701
Not really. Fallout 3 went out of their way to be closer to the original than 2 since they found the humour in 2 lackluster with the ebin memes and such.

I get the feeling that you're one of the people who still gets upset over Borderlands being criticized for its memes so you look for any other title with references or easter eggs to brand as "memes" in order to negate that criticism.
Would this be accurate?
I mean I don't know for sure, but I do know other posters have done this before a lot in defense of Borderlands 2 among others, sometimes they bring up Fallout 2, sometimes it's Duke 3D but it's always a classic game with humor people actually like.

Because it was too difficult for dudebros to understand, that's why they streamlined everything so a wider audience could get into the series as well.

These aren't lore rape because unlike Fallout 3's BoS, Jet, etc. there isn't anything in a previous Fallout directly contradicting it. They're just new plot points.

Incase you haven't noticed, I hate Bethesda as much as the next guy.
I've never bought a Bethesda game. I played like 9 hours of Skyrim before I got bored and noticed how shit the game was.

Objectively 1. It isn't all that long either. You'll appreciate 2 more after playing through it.

>>316605559
Where are you seeing the melee? Besides, 6 strength more than enough strength for literally any build in FO2.
>>
>>316605721
He took bruiser, which I assumed meant he was going for a melee build. Who would take a trait that works counter-intuitively to the build they are trying to make?

Either way, his build is pretty shit no matter what he was going for.
>>
>>316605843
Bruiser's just +2 strength.
>>
>>316605494
The first one. Apart from the obvious reasons, 2's interface also has a bunch of small, but important improvements that are missing from 1 and WILL annoy the everloving shit out of you if you play them in reverse order
>>
>>316605626
Im just saying I find /v/ to be right on the money if you read between the lines. Things like FO4, biocock infinite and MGSV had the problems they mentioned. And while some are still enjoyable (start of biocock, MGSV) things like FO4 are just pathetic.

Just look at the opening of FO4, they invited people who didnt know shit

>>316605686
I asked because sequels tend to improve the gameplay from previous games. I'll play Fallout 1, any tips?
>>
>>316605895
Yeah, at the cost of 2 AP which is very fucking important in Fallout. His bait build will be completely unable to fire most guns and swing most melee weapons in the game

Except previous fallout games were good when they came out. FO4 is bad from the start.

He could use Psycho and Jet to temporarily gain a total of 7 AP which is more than enough to shoot big guns

Resolution mod for 1, then go crazy, don't expect the game to teach you anything with tutorials, since back then this shit came in the form of robust manuals for people to read.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult
>>316606083
>>316606606
Agility is the most important stat.
Strength doesn't need to be above 6 (and you can get by with less).
You don't need to start with a 10 in anything.
The Small Guns skill is important even if you plan on using a different weapon type later on, but since it covers sniper rifles you can just stick with it for the whole game if you want.

In short, don't do what >>316600739 did. Also Bruiser is shit.
>>
>>316606801

Yeah, Fallout 2 all the way
>>
>>316606606
Agility gives you action points. You need 1 to move a grid and 4-5 to shoot a gun, and 5-6 for an aimed shot. 1 agility is 5 AP, 2 is 6 AP, 4 is 7 AP and so on. Try not to gimp yourself with 1 agility like that one anon.

Also you're literally a retard if your intelligence is 3 or less and will have a terrible time on a first playthrough.

Also weapons have strength requirements. 5 should cover most stuff, and you can get strength buffs from a lot of things like power armor.

Other than that, not much. You might want to google the original manual, it would tell you all this.
>>
>>316606606
Intelligence opens up a plethora of extra dialogue options, and Agility is probably the most important combat stat because it lets you do more things in one turn. But yeah, unless you make a full retard troll build like that one anon in this thread, you should be able to make it.

Don't tag Big Guns though, the idea of miniguns and rocket launchers is enticing until you realize how shitty they are in Fallout 1. The minigun does dick all damage to anything with even the tiniest bit of armor, unless you score a crit and everything in the fire cone just spontaneously explodes, the bazooka is single shot and not that damaging in the long run, and the flamer is buttfuck heavy to lug around and has no range. Fallout 2 makes the heavy weapons much more viable.

>>316606801
Yeah, it was Fallout 1 where deathclaws were nigh invulnerable monsters and the first encounter was a pants-shittingly horrifying experience in having your entire party wiped, instead of some circus attraction you just casually ice 10 minutes into the game

Newfag here, I tried playing Fallout 1 for the first time but I couldn't get a grasp around all the game mechanics. I didn't grow up with older, top-down/isometric PC WRPGs so I had a lot of trouble understanding all the shit in the game.

So what's a good way to learn the game without spoiling myself with guides? Would like to experience the game the same way everyone else did back in the day.

Played 1 today. Other than moving and attacking being tedious, I just gave up when it told me my 10mm weapon was out of ammo even though I blatantly had 10mm bullets left, and there was no obvious way to reload, or even a control scheme.

Well pressing F1 gives you a quick cheatsheet for hotkeys.

They also assumed you actually read the manual in the 90s, so you might want to take a look at that.

I actually think the game's boring. The story sucked, combat was just a snorefest, and the places in the world felt even more disconnected from each other than in modern Fallouts.
>>
>>316608458
This guys reasoning is bad but he's right. Fallout as a series has never been good.
>>
>>316608458
it gets badass later on

the reason fo1 was good was because it was something new. there wasn't any other game like it. when you have a chaingun later and you're exploding dudes into pieces, with some of the craziest gore that had ever been shown in games at that point, its awesome

going back to them in 2015 is pointless. if you want to play a game with combat like that, then play a superior game like final fantasy tactics. if you want to play it for the story, then that's your prerogative, but the gameplay ISN'T good, it was just cool when it was new.

>If one leg is crippled, you will find it more difficult to move (taking more Action Points to move the same distance). It will also be impossible to run. If both legs are crippled, you will barely be able to move. Running will still be impossible. Out of combat, your character will look like he or she is walking normally, but this is a sham to protect yourself from dangerous predators. Get to a doctor quickly!

I always do the same build in Fallout games. Raise you intelligence for extra skill points each level and more dialog options.
Raise agility for more action points.
Tag small guns because they are both plentiful at the start and have a nice range. Switch to energy weapons or big guns later in the game.
Tag lockpick for the loot, and tag speech for the dialog options. Don't forget to drop some points in science here and there for later in the game.

>Don't tag Big Guns though, the idea of miniguns and rocket launchers is enticing until you realize how shitty they are in Fallout 1. The minigun does dick all damage to anything with even the tiniest bit of armor, unless you score a crit and everything in the fire cone just spontaneously explodes, the bazooka is single shot and not that damaging in the long run, and the flamer is buttfuck heavy to lug around and has no range. Fallout 2 makes the heavy weapons much more viable.

It's not that bad. You can make a combat build for FO1 off of anything, including Big Guns, and while it won't be your usual Turbo Plasma crit goodness, you can still have some fun with it.

Flamer is my new favourite weapon in FO2, it's just too good for dealing with trash encounters.

I think what he's trying to say is that the original two Fallout games are better in that the devs actually put some fucking effort into the lore and dialogue, but he's still a filthy casual who can't enjoy an RPG unless it's crammed into a first-person shooter.

Not enough can be said for San "everybody was kung fu fighting!" Francisco though. Fallout was one of the best games I've ever played, Fallout 2 is shit and is a worse slap in the face than Fallout 3 was. Only good thing was the car song.

At least FO3 had some sort of RPG mechanics and still had Skills and factions. So no, FO4 is pretty much the worst Fallout game. They're both shit though.

Fallout 1 had a strain of black humour, but Fallout 2 was downright silly. This silliness varied throughout the game, but was highest in New Reno - probably the most *memorable* part with the most work put into it - and the oil rig, whose dialogue reads like it was targeted towards 12-year-olds who had just discovered the concept of political satire.

>>316613194
>Big bad monster bad guy Frank Horrigan
FO2 does have a weaker setup in terms of bad guys than FO1 does, indeed; Master and Lieutenant are impeccable and possibly right, Dick Richardson is just a dick and the final confrontation kinda eh. Still, most people don't think much of FO2 ending.
>>Maltese Falcon full of ebin maymays
It's a special random encounter, those are always non-canon goofing around for shits and giggles. FO2 had a bit too much of shits and giggles, but still. Are you also going to abhor FO1 for having TARDIS or Godzilla?
>>Non-hostile Super Mutants
So many years after the Master's death? Why not? Some have the mental capacity to grow up civilized. Lieutenant was a bad guy, but he was smart enough to make conscious decisions.
>Wanamingos
Mutated creatures are aplenty in the Fallout universe from the first game onwards.
>Enclave
Why not? FO1 closed up most of it's plot threads, so getting a new villain wasn't so bad.
>Cut content
FO1 has it as well. Less so, but that's because FO1 is a short popcorn game, you can beat it in an afternoon; FO2 has way more locations and way shorter development time, proportionally. Van Buren implies Sulik never found his sister, anyway.
>Fewer voiced characters than Fallout
Most voiced characters in Fallout weren't that big of a deal, anyway. You barely ever hold a conversation with Laura and Butch.
>New Reno
Okay, I find it mostly believable, and it's a pretty impressive hub-kinda town, but YMMV.

FO2 still has the same mechanics, on top of letting you tinker with many more builds, develop your character in many more meaningful ways, making combat better (and random encounters actually challenging), and overall letting you putz around much more.
>>
>>316601226

I have to admit that's a funny mental image. Some incredibly handsome guy with a nice chest, probably narrating his frustration in iambic pentameter off the top of his head since he's so smart, just stumbling all over his place trying to make his limbs connect with an ant's head and slowly bleeding out.
