Description
Set in the aftermath of a world-wide nuclear war, Fallout will challenge you to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. You will take the role of a Vault-dweller, a person who has grown up in a secluded, underground survival Vault. Circumstances arise that force you to go Outside - to a strange world 80 years after the end of modern civilization. A world of mutants, radiation, gangs and violence.

Your immediate task is to find a replacement for the broken water purification controller chip. Without that chip, your fellow Vault dwellers are doomed to dehydration or will be forced to leave the safety of the Vault for the Outside.

The core of the game revolves around your character. Fallout uses a skill-based system to allow you to fine tune your character. As you gain experience (roughly half from combat, the other half from solving adventure seeds and non-combat events), your character will grow as you determine. Combat in Fallout is tactical turn-based. You can take as much time as you need to make decisions. Choose from different types of attacks, with a variety of weapons and attack skills.

Missing goodies???

Be aware, A LOT of goodies are missing versus the Fallout that was available some time ago (before it was removed from the GOG catalog), me and a friend compared the two and there's what's missing: fallout_arts.zip, fallout_avatars.zip, Fallout_Bible_gog.zip, fallout_pipboys_avatars.zip, fallout_refcard.zip, fallout_series_wallpaper.zip, fallout_soundtrack.zip, fallout_wallpaper.zip... why omitting that much stuff ??? The situation is the same with Fallout 2... Please add them back GOG, thank you!

Censored? Seriously?

I never would have bought it here had I known that it was going to be censored. It's a great game, but I thought the point of GOG was getting definitive versions of old games, not watered down versions with new wrappers.

Check your library first before buying!!

I already have this game along with the other Fallout games but because the games were removed from sale and added back again sometime ago, the system shows as if I don't have these games on my library ("owned" sign doesn't appear). So be careful when you are buying them, check your library first, you might already have them.

The Greatest Game Back on the Site

I could legitimately write a college thesis on why Fallout is the greatest game ever to grace our planet, but I am so excited I know I won't do it justice in this review. Fallout shattered my life - I was four years old when it came out but I didn't discover it until I was 20, and within my first year of owning it I played it through fully six separate times. Fallout takes the RPG mould and melts its eyes with a turbo plasma rifle. It is simultaneously deadly serious and darkly humorous. I laughed at farts, South Park references, and butt scratching. At the same time no video game has ever matched the feeling of sheer desperation and haunting loneliness that Fallout instilled upon my soul. I still listen to Mark Morgan's soundtrack and just bask in the atmosphere while I drive home from work sometimes. This is a game that lets you play how you want. I've murdered children with bazookas, but I've also done a playthrough with zero kills (not even the final boss). Fallout 3 can't boast either of those two things. I've spent dozens of hours on a single playthrough, and I've done a 12 minute speedrun. I played a character so stupid that I tricked drug dealers into thinking I was high. The most important thing I can say to someone buying this game (and everyone must buy this game) is that your first playthrough can change your life. Don't look up hints or advice, just enter the wasteland with an open mind. My first character's stats were an absolute disaster, I accidentally murdered the whole population of the second settlement I visited, and I never even managed to get the iconic power armor. And yet, somehow I completed the game. I still think it was a fluke, but It's an experience that redefined gaming for me. I could speak a thousand more reasons why you should play this game, but the point is this: Exciting, tactical, emotional and borderline spiritual; Fallout is an experience that every gamer must have.
