I can't speak highly enough of this game. Up until 2020, it has been my favorite post-2000 release. It combines the best elements of the first two Fallout games with those of Bethesda's advancements in Fallout 3. The writing is phenomenal, and shines brightest in the DLCs. The diversity in how to play the game is brilliant, especially given that you can finish the whole thing without killing anyone. And, as all good Fallout games do, it combines the dreadful seriousness of nuclear apocalypse with clever, dark humor that gives the series its unique quality. Is it buggy? Sure. But I'll reload this game a thousand times if I have to.
