    The authoritative method is to find a computer made in the mid 90s and an original CD version of the game.

    Only thing I do is install the unofficial patch and widescreen resolution mod. Resolution should be set to something reasonable like 1280x720 on a 1440p screen, using integer scaling in your GPU control panel. Running at full monitor resolution will likely make it too zoomed out.

    The GOG version comes with the res mode. Once you install the game, find the res mod exe inside the game folder. I run the games at 1440p. Fuck off.

    The most patrician way to play Fallout 1 for the first time would be to not be a gigantic faggot asking how to play a game for the first time but instead just play it for yourself.

    You've failed to do that, however, so you should just kill yourself.

    Fallout 1 is a little buggy though so make plenty of save files. I remember I had issues with some asshole doctor bugging out on me for whatever reason but that was 20+ years ago. Jesus Christ....

    If you’re on a 1080p screen, play 960x540. Resolution is one of the, if not the, most important settings to play these old games as they were intended. Do not under any circumstances enable “control your party members”.

    That's cool. The original version though, or just Bethesda version? I have the original and last time I fucked with it the high-res patch wasn't there. Cool if they added it though.

    Actually, he doesn't. Because Fallout should be played in the resolution it was coded for, which is not 960x540.

    Also, aren't you one of the fags who supports playing Fallout in the Fallout 2 engine, using that Beamdog mod?

    The most patrician way is to play it however the fuck you want and ignore people who try to tell you how to play games or which games to play.

    The most patrician way is not to play that boring game but say here you have, and comment how amazing it was, that is a masterpiece.

    But how can I then complain that the game is too easy and I can finish it in half an hour if I don't first find out the most broken build and all the exploits?

    1. 800x600 for the original experience. Even 1024 x 768 is too big and the main char (and companion) figure is too small.

    2. If you play Fallout 1 original (and not Fallout 1 in Fallout 2 engine aka Fallout Et Tu), I suggest a Luck 6 for a most patrician virgin play through. Luck 9 is actually a bit too hard. Luck 5 (and get +1 luck in boneyard to 6) is a bit too minmaxing.

    Luck 6 ensure that you get most of special encounter, and good store stocks. Luck 5 is so so. Luck 9 is actually best but that require a heavy minmaxing play, not patrician.

    When I say good store stock I mean it. Luck affect random number generating, and RNG affect the chance of item respawn in store. A luck 2 player has a very different shopping experience compare to luck 6 or luck 9.

    We are talking about getting good shits to buy in The Hub's shops which can be available very early.
