reactivity ahoy! its the best 3d Fallout
I view Fallout as essentially being two different franchises. On one hand, you have Interplay's vision of Fallout 1, 2, Tactics, and New Vegas, and on the other hand, you have Bethesda's vision of Fallout 3, Shelter, 4, 76. (Then there's the much maligned Brotherhood of Steel, which is kind of it's own weird, crappy thing!) Obsidian took great care of making New Vegas true to the original spirit of the Fallout Bible design document. I really appreciate that, and it's sad that Bethesda moved so far away from that, because I think it's really a great e-book with a lot of cohesive ideas. This is the best you're going to get for the 3D Fallouts. So, in 2019, I set out to beat this game once and for all. My character was a man named Lucky Dan, and I had a Luck/crit build. This created for a lot of randomized fun in the heat of battle. I also went out of my way to get all the implants and body mods. I was more machine than man! I went for the No Gods No Masters ending, diverting to blow up the annoying Brotherhood, and killing Caesar in his tent. (Hint: Use lots n lots of drugs and Damage Threshold is your friend.) One cool thing about this path was that I got to work with Yes Man who is voiced by Dave Foley of Kids in the Hall in a performance of a lifetime. I also completed several of the DLC, my favorite of which is Old World Blues, which might as well be called Fallout: Adult Swim. The story was a wild ride, and has the best opening in any video game ever, imo. Benny is a great antagonist, and hunting him down keeps the main quest right on track, until he is overshadowed by the looming threat of Caesar's Legion. This game also has my favorite minor NPC ever, No Bark Noonan. One thing that really helped me make it to the end was the YUP patch and the CASM save game manager. I can't recommend this game enough. It's fun, it's reactive, it's interesting, it has amazing character building. Great game. 5/5
