You don't need to but I suggest that you do. Great games, both of them.

You don't need to play the first 2 to understand Fallout 3, but I very much recommend playing them, since they're 2 of the greatest cRPGs of all time.

yeh i would say the same fyi you can play the firs one for free one game tap but you may have to buy the second one

Umm It might make a more enjoyable experience due to the fact that you will know some of the lore helping you get some references and all and they are great games.

Not necessarily. Check out Amazon and other online sites. The game is still available, as is Fallout 2

Ill buy all three then, its probably best i do to get a background.

If you like that style of game then you should play it.. but if you don't then don't force it. The lore won't be critical to enjoying the new game it will just answer a few questions about who they are while playing. Of course you could always wiki for the answers too.

They're definitely worth a play. You'll have more of an idea of the back-story and get some of the references that will be present in Fallout 3. It's not essential, but it is recommended.

Thanks for your help all!

i tried to play the second one but i didn't really enjoy it (i got killed 3 times by the same lesser scorpion)

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:09 am

I highly recommend to everyone who is new to fallout playing the first 2. Unless you want to be known as a noob bethesda really devoted fan.

If you want to simplify the process just download the first one for free off of... wherever they're offering it free (is it gametap?). Fallout 3 is based off of the first game with a few characters from the second game thrown in for lore. The first game also has no "Temple of Trials" to encourage combat skills and make the early game unnecessarily complicated.

And this gametap allows me to download the whole game and play it all?

» Fri May 27, 2011 2:45 am

Fallout 1 and 2 are absolutely worth playing. You don't need it for Fallout 3 but who cares...

I saw people posting about high res versions of these games and I would look for those. I played both at launch and were great but going back now almost made me vomit the graphics are over a decade old think diablo 2 as better visually. Agreed on superb content though.

yup along with a bunch of other stuff like hitman agent 47 and duse ex

Funny. I find them more visually appealing than Fallout 3.
