In order to fully experience new Fallout TV series I decided to try and experience what's the whole deal with the wastelands. And I absolutely bounced off - had no idea how the world works, never earlier played CRPG, so I fucked up my character creation and was later killed by random Scorpions before even hitting the 2nd location.
I went away for a while. But the will for experiencing original Fallout was still in the back of my mind.
I learned that agility is the most important skill and not the Charisma (which is usless) and began the search for the Water Chip.
At this second try the weird, turn based combat was making some sense and I actually enjoyed it a lot.
Wonderful atmosphere that's causing some chills down spine, especially in the main quest that's absolutely chef's kiss in means of writing and slowly discovering the mystery in so many possible ways.
Cause game even if not so different in outcomes have really lots of possibilities to reach these outcomes so every now and then when I tried to help for search online there was no help. Game makes you think a lot (sometimes te solutions are fucking stupid like fixing the gate to temporarily shut it.)
Only 2 things are making me not put Fallout in the 5 favorites;
1. Companions lacks any character, and would really prefer any outcome of an ending for them or even say more stuff at the daily basis.
2. Military base that I probably spent around 4 hours to figure out - once I was captured and thought that's how it supposed to be. And second time cause I tried to beat the game with every companion alive so basicly my playthorugh was filled with quick saves. Decided to give up when these fuckheads where running around when I fought and these guys killed themselves.
But yeah, every tiny little thing other than that I absolutly adored and that was one of the most pleasant games I had and honor to play.
