please convince me to play fallout 2

[laclongquan]

If you barely finish off F1, dont feel bad about it. I cant count the number of times I abandon that game. Just cant count. I get to some areas and oh gods I am so bored I get some other games out.

Same deal with Baldur Gate 1.

Fallout2? FInish it any number of times. Baldur Gate 2? Any number of times. They are so much more fun to play than their predecessors.

Most of the ones praising F1 and BG1 are nostalgic tasteless old coots anyway.

A recruitable NPC from Fallout New Vegas has her daddy-roots in Fallout 2, what more reason do you need?

 

[Dire Roach]

You could try playing Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel instead.

 

[ghostdog]

All these "convince me" threads are fucking retarded.

 

[Rogue]

i barely finished fallout 1 with a walkthrough at hand

In that case, Fallout 2 is not a better game.

Sometimes we ignore the troll-baits, sometimes we bite the baits.

Sometimes we ignore the troll-baits, sometimes we bite the baits.

Feeling left out because everyone ignored your trollbait above?

 

[Fowyr]

I actually finished it

Do NOT ask me to remember details though... it was a fucking long time ago and I never replayed it.

This. But I still remember quest with Bunny Master in Agricultural Center, killing kids in Quartz (or not Quartz... place with broken pump), old train, stall with hobo dogs, howitzer, toaster repairing and citadel full of some technomonks.

Fallout 2 was a much more noob-friendly game than FO1, if you couldn't finish FO1 you'll probably like FO2.

 

[Begriffenfeldt]

Don't play it, you're not worthy.

 

[racofer]

One needs not convincing to play Fallout 2, but worthiness.

I agree. New players just love the Temple of Trials compared to starting in a small cave with a gun

 

[Klaz]

Fallout 2 is alright, but it feels at times almost like a parody of the first game. I like that.

 

[Sceptic]

Well let's face it, it is more noob-friendly. It literally leads you by the nose from one town to the next in pretty strict fashion, there are no time limits (as opposed to TWO hard limits in pre-patch FO1 - and extending the first limit DIMINISHES the second one by the same length, and you don't find this out until later) and it has the super-linear "tutorial" temple instead of just throwing you in the thick of things 2 minutes after starting the game. Sure the tutorial sucks, but that's another matter.

As I'm a good deal into FO2 I already have some strong impressions about it, especially compared to FO1, but I'll wait to finish the game before sharing them. Short version is: it's good, longer and more elaborate than 1, with apparently even more ways of completing quests (I love this), but all in all not as good as 1.

is it cassidy

Yes, it is. Hopefully we'll be able to emotionally engage with her.
