Hey Everyone,

I was just wondering on peoples thoughts on Fallout 2, i have read reviews etc but im asking my fellow forum friends, basically i have brought Fallout 2 for the PC as it came with a few other things, so i am awaiting for it to arrive...

i have loved Fallout 3 and still in love with Fallout : New Vegas...

So will i love this too?

If playing a truly great RPG (one of my, if not even the, favorite games, and the Fallout setting appeal to you and are enough to you, you'll be fine with it. However, keep in mind that the gameplay design and intent are wholly different from Fallout 3 and New Vegas -- so, for a newcomer, it might take some getting used to.

That said, though, give it a fair shot. It is a really rewarding RPG experience.

Well like you I was in love with 3 when I started to wonder about the originals. So I picked up Fallout 2 on steam and Fallout 1 a while later. I thought they were really hard and hard to get used to. So I didnt play em for about 2 months. Then I came back and I got hooked, mostly with the help of an amazing guide. I played for hours and hours till my save got corrupted on Fallout 2. Then I proceeded to beat Fallout 1. Now Fallout 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. I dont know if you will like it, it varies from person to person. New Vegas is really close to the originals, so you might end up enjoying it.

Well im pretty excited to use it, does this mean i can use command mods etc?

Nope, you can use a separate trainer though. But I'd advice not to do so, only if you're really stuck or you want to test certain scenarios.

Plus if you don't know what you're doing, messing around with quests, maps, items, etc. can cause savegame corruption.

ah well havent used them up untill now lol i'll play old school, Cheers!

the originals are awesome games! I would suggest playing in order however.

Here are the guides I mentioned btw.
