All of the above. Minus BoS. Plus Tactics.

Voted for 2 even though the Vault dweller would kick the chosen one's ass the second game was better.

I like them all for different reasons. I prefer the edgy-ness of Fallout 2, but overall I like FO3.

I voted for Fallout 2. It has an effect that I played it before F1. Fallout 1 had more interesting story, but the whole of a game was better in F2.

It's a tough call as all 3 proper Fallouts have their own pros and cons.

I also like Tactics well enough although not as much as F1-2-3. I have never played Brotherhood of Steel but from what I've heard of it from too many different sources it's like crapping a cheese grater across my forehead for 12 straight hours so I just assume my time better spent elsewhere.

I voted for 2. Of 1 and 2, there was just a lot of improvements I liked over the first one; even if it did overall feel a bit rushed (and even if most of the "maturity" still consisted of a 13-yr-old's definition of the term. :) )

You can never go back home again, though. I doubt I'm the first person to make this connection - but I think the Fallout series is really very much like the progression of the Mad Max films. The first one was sort of this small original outing that happened with just the right alignment of stars and talent to make it a lasting classic. It did well enough that they decided to make a second one; which was more refined than the original but also lacked some of it's unique character. Then, some time later, they decided to try and "recapture the magic" with a bigger budget and modern technology, and take a small cult classic and to try and turn it into something of an even grander scale. While perfectly fine in it's own right, Beyond Thunderdome never had a chance of being hailed by the original fans for all of the same properties as the first two movies. That's an inherent risk you take when you take a cult classic and try to broaden it's appeal to a wider audience.

They're working on a Mad Max 4 - or there's at least rumours of it. Last word I had, Miller was thinking of making it a 3D animated movie (which makes sense considering he's also done Happy Feet and Babe the Pig.) That's going to have the benefit of the same director throughout; and it's still going to be no Road Warrior. :)

It's the same thing with the Fallout series. You could never take a cult classic and make it into something for popular consumption without at the same time losing a majority of what made it such a classic in the first place. Frankly, I still wonder at this constant obsession with remakes and sequels anyway. I mean, it's probably only a matter of time before we see "Citizen Kane 2 - Rosebud's Revenge..."

I voted for Fallout 2. Out of all of them, its the one with the best quests, characters and dialogue. Fallout 1 and 3 do as well, and all of them (BoS? What's BoS? I've never heard of that, and I certainly am not trying to pretend it does not exist) have many things going for them that combine to make something that is really more than the sum of its parts.

Honestly I played 1 and 2 so long ago, and was so young, that I don't remember them like I should. I have the basics in my head of course, and I have re-read everything through the wiki, but still... hard decisions.

Honestly though, I was always more of a Bethesda/Morrowind fan than a Fallout fan. Fallout 3 made me remember how great FO1 and 2 were for a young teenager, and piqued my interest in the lore of the series. I guess for now I would say Fallout 3.

I bought 1 and 2 through GOG though, and plan to replay them as an advlt after all the content for FO3 has been released and there is a break until Vegas.

FO1 was the best if you ask me. I enjoyed Fallout 2, but I didn't like its entire tone. Where was the retro-futurism? The desolation? I know things can change greatly over the course of two generations, but if I didn't know better, I could say Fallout 2 felt like a western or something. It just didn't feel Fallouty, you know?

Fallout 1. Even today I'm amazed with a lot of things in this game, you could play it in so many ways and things stay interesting for a long time. The story was nice, the dialogue was amazing. Characters in that game were of a whole different level than those in the sequels. The Vault Dweller, Lieutenant, the Master, Killian, Gizmo, Decker, all amazing characters, but Harold stole the show.

I voted Fallout 2, but I'm probably skewed as I played it before I did Fallout. It's not leagues ahead of Fallout, but I liked the larger world.

You know, just being numbered doesn't make a game more proper.

I like them all. You forgot Tactics though. Fallout 3 is really good, and so was the first one, but Fallout 2 is my favorite I think. I haven't played it in a while, but I remember Fallout 2 being fantastic.

For me, it's pretty close between FO1 and FO3. The two games appeal to me for different reasons, and I'm currently playing both and switch between them as my mood dictates. I never played BOS, (You forgot about FO:T which appeals to my fondness for tactical simulations) and I just can't stomach the out of character aspect of FO2 lately.

I voted for Brotherhood of Steel, simply because I had the choice. :coolvaultboy:
An excellent backstory, excellent controls, non-stop action, you get to choose skills like in the other Fallouts. Plus, you can play as the Vault Dweller! Also brings much needed lore to the world Black Isle created. :goodjob:
