Fallout

Thank You for having this at the ready.

This review was written by someone who first played over a hundred hours of both Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 and loved them. I've read lots of hyperbolic reviews and opinons on this game from people who say the newer fallouts are bad in comparison. I've also read lots of reviews from people who started with the newer fallouts and say this game hasn't aged well and isn't as great as people claim it is. My experience with the game was one where even after getting some general suggestions as to how the interface worked and starting game tips, I did not enjoy the first three hours or so. It got better the farther I went. The UI is very clunky, the music is kind of lifeless(I get that's part of the atmosphere but later fallouts at least had radio stations that played music or talked about the world if you wanted). I came in accepting the graphics for what they were, but they're not great. This game doesn't hold your hand at all and that's not always a good thing. I didn't realize some towns had additional areas I could explore until much later because the grids are dark and hard to see. It was hard to tell how many action points I had because the dots go from dull green to slightly darker dull green. The skill checks seemed few and far between. I couldn't tell you how much speech or science even mattered and it seemed sometimes dice were being rolled in the background that they never told me about. Talking to characters in the wrong order or sometimes for no reason dialogue options just disappear from conversations. I was quick saving all the time just in case I messed up talking to an npc or somebody blocked me from doorways. It's also a small game especially compared to later ones with nothing too crazy going on outside the main quest. But with all that said it was cool to see where it all began and I enjoyed the last couple hours. I just couldn't point to almost anything this game did and say it did it better than the later Fallouts.

Obviously, a game that's over 25 years old will show some signs of old age. It is rather short, there are only a few locations and some locations feel like they're only really existing on a surface level. However, there are some great details in some of the quests that are available and those really resonated with me. The world building and atmosphere are also top notch. After falling in love with Fallout: New Vegas, I don't regret playing this game one bit, even if it's rough to figure out some of the mechanics of the game.

I bought it before but i deleted it because of the space of my laptop is gonna be full, but i also have some advices to the people who were concerning: +SUPER F**KING GOOD STORY +SOME MISSIONS, YOU MAY ENDED WITH YOUR OWN WAY (DURING THE STORY, THERE WILL BE A GUY WHICH WILL INVITE YOU TO KILL A GROUP OF MEN, AFTER YOU GOT THE BONUS THAT THEY PROMISED, YOU CAN TELL THIS CRIME TO THE SHERIFF, AND HE WILL GO WITH YOU TO THEIR CAMP FOR CLEANING THEM ALL, AFTER THAT, YOU CAN ALSO HAVE THE EXTRA BONUS FROM THAT SHERIFF, AND IT'S ALL DUE TO YOU!) + BLACK HUMOR (I LIKE THIS SOOOO MUCH) +DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENDS (IT'S A GREAT INNOVATION AT THAT TIME) +HAVE STARTED A WAY THAT YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN UNIQUE CHARACTER BY CHOOSING YOUR PERKS AND CHARACTERISTICS +LOTS OF SIGNIFICANT THINGS OF FALLOUT'S UNIVERSE:"BROTHERHOODS OF STEEL, NUKA COLA, THE PIPBOY 3000, BRAHMIN AND POWER ARMOR." -NOT GOOD GRAPHICS AND VERSION FROM NOWADAYS -THE WAY TO ATTACK IS SO COMPLICATED -LOTS OF NUMBERS OF THE VARIETY OF PERKS MAKE ME FEEL DISGUSTING SOMETIMES -IT'S TOO HARD FOR NEW PLAYERS TO PLAY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE TIME WHEN YOU JUST COME OUT FROM YOUR VAULT TOTAL SCORE: (9.8/10)---MASTERPIECE

Fallout 1 is an amazing classic but not without a few flaws and bugs, it and its sequel are absolutely deserving of remasters so more people can experience the classic adventures but with QoL upgrades
