What Fallout game do you like most?

I like Fallout 3 and the DLC?s a lot they are great games. What do you like most and what do you think about them?
PS:I think Fallout Brotherhood of Stell doesn?t deserve the "Fallout" name.

I love FO3. I've played Fallout and have just started to play Fallout 2. So far FO2 is spectacular in terms of dialogue and story. The gameplay is so clunky in the first two games though. I don't mean the TB play; that's fine. It's just the older games are clunky and difficult to play. Everything is hard to do. I wasn't all that enamored of Fallout; it was ok, FO2 is great so far; I'm loving it and FO3 I absolutely love.

Edit: I only like Oblivion/Morrowind? Interesting choice on a Fallout poll.

Fallout 2 had a huge game world and incredible depth to it - the eighth time I played I was still finding so much new stuff to do, and on the tenth or eleventh play-through, I was still finding little touches, jokes and layers that I hadn't previously discovered. I enjoy computer games, but among them all, Fallout 2 is the only one I would nominate as a true work of art.

Fallout 2. And not just because part of its region is my home state.

Originally liked Fallout 2 the most, but replaying FO1 it's taken over the #1 spot. Also, you've thrown a grenade into a room full of gasoline...now we just see if it's a dud, heh.

I like the original best.

The first two have better gameplay than Fallout 3, in my opinion, and the spin-offs aren't even worth mentioning.

And out of the first two, I must pick the first. Yes yes yes, Fallout 2 is bigger and more open-ended and has a more elaborate story and what not, but it's so silly! Now I don't mind a bit of humor in any piece of fiction, even really dark fiction, but Fallout 2 just tries to hard to incite chuckles. Hey, remember when the Wasteland was a post-apocalyptic hellscape and everyone was struggling to survive instead of hanging around in casinos?

First one without a question. I see as much cons in FO2 as in third one, though I like them both too.

Personally, for me, it's a toss-up between 2 and 3. Yes, yes, heresy, I know. And I'd be hard-put to explain precisely why, since it's been years since I played the first two games (grarghlargleargleVISTA). Might have something to do with my fondness for the Enclave.
Actually, you know what, they're all tied. Each game has aspects that I like more than the others, and each game has faults that the others don't.
It's a bit like 'originality' versus 'story' versus 'whee so pretty and not turn-based'.
I will say that one of the biggest things I miss from the first two games is the range and emotional content of the voice-acting... but I do not miss that turn-based combat one bit. NOT. ONE. BIT.

...Oh, and the Master still scares the ever-loving crap out of me, so... way to go, FO1. I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of my life. ;3;

FO2 - To this day, it is my all-time favorite game. A true classic.

Fallout 2 has been one of the best games I've ever played for ten years. 1 has better story, but 2 is better as a whole.

I love the originals much better than FO 3. Between the first and second I almost can't choose but 2 wins out only in that it improves on the shortcomings of the first. I would rank Tactics above FO3.

It seems that if you came to Fallout 3 from the older ones (and not from TES), that the game is a little disappointing to most of us. No depth right?

I've only played Fallout 2, Tactics and Fallout 3 (with and without all the DLCs), so I'm not sure.

It'd probably go;

1) Fallout 2
2) Fallout 3
3) Fallout Tactics

Don't get me wrong, Tactics is a cool game, but it doesn't have the same depth as FO2&3.

My list goes:

1) Fallout 3. I've played it longest (over 100hrs) and I still keep finding things to do and see. I can't get tired of it.
2) Fallout 2. Been playing this more recently and the story/dialogue is utterly fantastic. Definitely beats that of FO3's, but I like FO3's gameplay.
3) Fallout 1. Haven't played it much but very enjoyable.

Haven't played the others yet, though I do have them apart from BoS (because I hear it's [censored]).

F3 with the DLCs is my fave. After that it's a toss up between Fallout and Fallout 2, I would probably be geared towards Fallout 2 seeing the improvements they made over the original; however Fallout had the better villain between the 2, the Master was a force to be reckoned with! :chaos:

Tactics is okay... I really try to get into it and like it but I grow bored with it way too quickly, I can barely play through an entire mission (Sometimes not even that) and I'll shut it off. :shrug:

So my list would be:
1) Fallout 3 with DLCs
2) Fallout 2
3) Fallout
4) Fallout: Tactics

Fallout 1, which is the game that introduced me to the series, though I had played FO2 first but the Temple of Trials frustrated me too much.

Then I played Fallout 2 after finishing Fallout 1 and I also loved it.

FO1 had a more heroic, epic feel, plus I like Richard Dean Andersen there.

FO2 expands on FO1, but is decidedly more clunky. Don't try playing it unpatched, you're going to murder someone once a bug hits fairly late in the game. I especially liked the factions and their little turf wars. (NCR vs Vault City vs New Reno)

Things you could do in FO1 and 2 that you couldn't in 3:

1) random encounters may include random caves with more nasties.
2) caravan guarding missions. You can't really say that following the traders around is a "mission" in FO3
3) become a made man - that was so cool, and it had at least FOUR factions you can join.
4) become a porm star - I can live without this, but it's interesting.
5) have a car.
6) upgrade weapons - I liked that idiot savant in new reno. XD
7) better dialogue and more complex quest structure.
8) There was an actual epic bad guy you can kick ass. (I haven't played broken steel so I don't know if it has it.
9) towns feel and look like large towns.
10) have more than 2 companions <- this one's a pretty big thing.

FO3 is pretty. I can swim (woot, there's few places you can't go!) It's much more immersive, than 1 or 2, IMO. However, you don't feel the press of people in 3, it's probably a hardware limitation because populating towns with random townsfolk is pretty hard on your video card. Most towns are populated, at least, but canterbury commons and rivet city don't feel "lived in".

I like all three, but I like 2 best for the expansive world, and 1 for the nasty last boss, but 3 ties with 1 for me.
