Fallout 2

If you're having issues where the game gets stuck on the intro video then just restart. That fixed it for me. Also Windows 7 compatability mode fixed my audio crackling. I'm on Windows 11. I think the issue has to do with Sfall.

one of my all time favorite games of all time

Released during the golden age of isometric cRPGs, Fallout 2 is a quintessential isometric cRPG that not only helped define the genre, but set the bar for the rpg genre as a whole for decades to come. The by-now iconic post-apocalyptic setting of the Fallout franchise is created in such immersive depth in these classic titles, and the flexibility with which you can explore the world and go about the main quest line is as impressive as they come. What stands out most about the game is the depth you can go with playing your character, especially concerning the consequences of your actions and choices within the world. As an example, this game allows you to invest in the bare minimum intelligence points and unlock special (hilarious) dialogue where NPCs painstakingly speak in dumbed down language trying to explain things to you. Not to mention a low-intelligence character doesn’t know how to use a computer and as such will have problems getting into most if not all of the high-tech areas or abandoned vaults. The game also allows you to become an ahem “movie” star, weight boxing champion, slaver, and much more. As far as roleplaying games go, the classic Fallout titles are very hard to beat and the reason they are definitely still worth playing 25 years later. Criticism: in general I don’t care much about a game’s age, but Fallout 2 has to be played with this in mind. It is a product of its time and is therefore oftentimes very unintuitive to play. Not to mention even despite several projects to make the game more accessible on modern operating systems, it can still occasionally hit you with some annoying bugs. Save often.

I enjoy the Fallout series a lot, and it is one of the best games in the series of the Interplay/Black Isle Fallout series. I've been playing this game for a bit, on GOG mind you, and I love it. The bad about it is that you have to get over the cavalier oblique projection that the game use and the combat. The combat is great once you learn how to work its greasy gears. I have only got to Vic, so not very far at all. I know the ending since it is talking about in the Lore. I do consider New Vegas a successor to the first two Fallout games. The game is great, it's worth the 10 bucks and it's even better if you get it on a sale. Be Seeing You.

One of the best games I ever played. I wish that the new fallout games would be more like the F1 and F2 with great combat, level-up system, story, dialogues and characters. While this game may seem boring and difficult from beginning, it will get better with every town visited.
