It seems to have much more intelligent writing than Fallout 3 or 4.

The gunfights can be fun (but difficult.) I'm not sure about the power armour, I can't even see if my character is a man or a woman when wearing it -- always a fashion faux pas, am I right?

I couldn't get out of the church in time at the end, but I accepted my character's heroic death and just looked up the end on youtube (I already knew how it ended anyway.) I also lost a character in the Glow, and didn't have an early enough save to get out.

Fallout is absolute decline, like everything released these days.

The game is ultra-streamlined consoletard trash. I hate how you can actually see all your skills in the Skilldex at a single click - it's designed for retarded kids with no attention span. Why couldn't all these skills be hidden away in sub-menus within sub-menus, or assigned to random disparate keys that you need to refer back to a 50-page manual to figure out? That's how real RPGs work, but Fallout is lowest common denominator trash designed to appeal to the Diablo generation.

Also, the Pip-Boy is absolute super-AIDS. It literally lists your current quests. Like, it just fucking lists them. Right there. In case you're fucking stupid. I was sat there with my graph paper and my 30-page jotting pad ready to write down key information, as in a true RPG, but Fallout just says "duhhuhuhh never mind I know you're a dumb tiktok kid so here's a magically-updated list of all your quests, duuUHhhuh". Fucking terrible.

And don't get me started on the wokery. The game is yet more woke trash, the developers can't even keep their SJW agenda hidden for five minutes - right at the start, one of the premade characters is a woman. I was disgusted by this so, being a normal person, I did what any of us would do - a deep-dive on the developers Twitters, scrolling through over 50,000 of their "likes" and looking for signs of dissent. This didn't quite work so I started stalking them and hiding in the bushes outside their houses, and after weeks of this, I eventually saw lead developer Tim Cain leave the house... holding hands with ANOTHER MAN. Western civilization is dying, and Fallout is the cause.

But it doesn't end there - the game has several black characters in it. And I nearly puked blood when I got to Shady Sands and saw Indians. So then we get to this quest where some fucking SHITSKIN THOT called Tandi has been kidnapped by an alpha chad named Garl. And the game expects you to stop Garl? Why, for being a real man? I'm supposed to kill Garl for being masculine? Tim Cain doesn't even try to mask his disdain for real men. Even worse, my FEMALE player character was able to challenge Garl to hand-to-hand combat and win???

I also got a boner when the Gizmo talking head came on screen. I think the game must have brainwashed me somehow.

Overall it's streamlined woke decline garbage. You idiots play this shit if you want, I'm going to play The Magic Candle three hundred times in a row then kill myself.

Fallout 1 forces you to choose between "male" and "female" i.e. it is a non-binary people genocide simulator.

If you play this game, you are a Nazi and need to be punched.

Fallout 1 is the best. Better than 2.

Or Vegas. 1 is the only one I've finished, so it must be the best.

The feeling I had playing Fallout for the first time (fallout 3) and I stepped out of the vault and the sun blur and particle effects I almost felt like I was in the world. The level of immersion was amazing and I had to think like a vault dweller. Lol go fuck yourself I can't even finish the joke, I hope all lovers of 3d Fallout go hang themselves.

What kind of weird trolling is this? Most Codexers more or less grew up on Fallout 1, no need to sell it to them again.

Despite the general disdain of Codexers for the JRPG subgenre, there's a game they should try that breaks with the usual Japanese tropes, since it takes place in the old AD&D Planescape campaign setting. Also has much more intelligent writing than normal for JRPGs.

I have not played fallout 1 in about 20 years, maybe I should play it again, but I watched some streams of its game play just now hoping it would seem unfamiliar, but unfortunately I remember it all pretty much..wish I did not. Probably I have seen scenes of it played too often over the years as well..
