Has the fate of Jacorn been mentioned anywhere?
"Vault Dweller's memoirs" (I have not read it yet, just have heard about it and have visited the "Fandom") seems to suggest Jacoren is still alive.
The Glow is bloody overrated by Codexers. Fallout 1's top moments are 1. The secret of iguana meats and bits. 2. Hire a water caravan to your vault. 3. Meet a bunch of giant monsters in your face (The Shed) etc... The Glow is a good dungeon, full to bursting with loot that will mostly be left behind by new players. Which is why it reinforce the feelings. But it's not a good "representative" moment of Fallout 1.
Well... did it all... a shame I tried (and later discovered) I could not turn the guy to the authorities.
I can't react to posts... consider I'm doing it.
Funny x 3
I’m just happy I’m not OP: 1. Has a hard time pressing number keys. 2. Thinks Fallout is essentially about “dribbling”. 3. Was so scared of The Glow that he instead betrayed humanity and ran to daddy (The Master) to be dipped. Also, I’m not sure why Fallout 3 and 4 are mentioned at all (i.e. trash tier).
1. I'm a console player (will not hide it) starting a journey. My problems are not with hotkeys — I've been using them on strategy games (even I am not that hardcore to play AOE2 on my PS2) since ever —, but with the implication that I must use all skills in every frame of the game.
2. What is it about? I always positioned myself the furthest I could and started shooting guys in the head; then, the guys would start shooting as well: or the avatar would fall and lose a lot of hitpoints, or the avatar would receive damage (even 0 damage), or the avatar would dance.
I'm not even saying the combat is bad (it is nice) — and maybe someone could even use grenades, psycho, strategy, creating something else — I am highlighting my experience and sharing how I felt.
One could say, maybe, that people should play "Fallout" on hardest ironman, but no one said it.

There is the thing about bad design, even though "The Glow" supposedly killed a lot of "losers", a drug dealer is the key to the secrets of the wasteland.
To highlight two things.
Firstly, even if people do not want it, the games belong to Bethesda now — Fallout 3 and 4 are, for all purposes, Fallout games.
That leads to the second thing, I just played "Fallout 1" because I've played the others; more, I'm not playing games chronologically — I'm playing games that feel more important to me —: it is just normal that I compare them.
Hey OP, have you played Arcanum?
I've played 30 minutes or so. It is on my list, I will play it, but don't exactly know when.
