Fallout 2

For Windows 10 just install high resolution patch, go to screen settings, pick 2x scalling. Obviously, graphics are outdated, but atmosphere, lore and quests in this game are superb. And comnat also. I enjoy random encounters where you can encounter two groups fighting, and then kill survivors and loot their bodies for guns, ammo and stimpaks. This is truly Fallout RPG game. Much better then modern Fallout 76 which is very shallow despite modern graphics.

Careful! I already own this game, but it is not showing as "In Library", which is quite misleading.

One of the best games I've ever played (I still have my original disc from '98) I wonder though, does the version from GOG have the patches and updates "built in"? I remember having to patch it from the original, and now defunct, publisher. Would we have to find a patch somewhere else?

Fallout is a question, and the answer is yes! The game does require you to jump through some hoops to play it, and even more to enjoy it. Most hoops come from technical difficulties, the other is moral, should you give effing Bethesda money for Fallout 2? Once you pass those hoops however, you've got one hell of a classic that you can sink hours upon hours into, with freedom you can find nowhere else these days. We are talking of a time before the ridiculous "nobody plays the evil route" statistic. So if you want to be the worst basterd in the entire Wasteland, seduce a young woman, get literally shotgun married by her father, find the slavers and sell your wife, shooting one of those damn pickpocketing kids on your way out, you can. Of course you can decide to be a lot less edgy than this, but it is a depth of choice that exists. The game will let you do things and in many cases will react to those choices. The game is excellent and a classic for a reason, Fallout 1 might be superior but require even more hoops for you to jump through. If you have never played this game, get ready for a rough introduction to the world of retro gaming, but the prize is worth the game.

I recently sat down and blew through the first two Fallout games over the course of about 3 months, and I am so happy that I finally played these games. Fallout 2 easily being the more content-rich game, I loved every minute of it, (well, maybe not every minute) My only regret is that I wish I had taken more time to slow down and appreciate it before it was over.
