If you struggle with fallout graphics, you have massive problems. This for 1997 is beautiful, even watching it now I can’t believe how well it’s held up.

The 1st games in the Diablo and Baldur’s Gate series came out around the same time and eclipse Fallout in graphics. But Fallout mogged them in story paths and player choice consequences.
OG fallout 1/2 gamer here. Got them in ‘97-98. Nowadays, I recommend using Fallout 1in2 mod to play FO1. It’s a Mod that uses Fallout 2’s Engine and quality of life fixes (i.e. you can push your party members out of doors so you don’t get stuck). Plus a “Take All” button. It also gives the option of cut content. Definitely worth revisiting 25 years later!

Underrail is one of the worthwhile successors to the og fallout games. Once you've played them, they really are unique experiences with some of the most interesting writing games ever had because they couldn't just hide behind the graphics and were made with passion.

It’s worth noting that the GOG/Steam versions of this are allegedly censored. Children were rendered invisible, addiction and drug-resistant images were removed, and all references to drug/s were substituted with the word chems. Fallout Fixt can restore it all. It’s not game-changing or anything but you might as well play it the way it was released.

I might make a playthrough but it'd be mic off. Also tempted to do a low intelligence run because it's funny as hell I've been really busy this past week.
The atmosphere of Fallout 1 and 2 are still unsurpassed to this day, mostly due to the color palette of the 2D art and the soundtrack, especially the soundtrack. Not even Fallout 3 comes close to them in that matter.
the graphics, for me, is something i really like. there is something about low poly/pixel art isometric games have a lot more charm than most games with ultra hd graphics
Im disapointed you havent said the MOST important part for new players, in barter window when you trade with other people, to not spend ages trying to buy something worth more then 100 but less then 999, you can just, use your keyboard number buttons to just type in the correct value like 420. I was so MAD when I learned it because first time playing I didnt know it so I had to constantly waste time just pressing and waiting for that number count to slowly reach 420.

Thank you. I bought this game and Fallout 2 because it was on sale. I started with fallout 3, and played new vegas, and 4. I skipped 76 thankfully. But I have put about 8 hours into this game and was still struggling with the beginning and kept being stubborn about my play style. The beginning stats makes so much sense. I pretty much nuked my character before starting without even realizing. I should've realized that different stats matter since you can’t just make up for lack of aim because this isn't a FPS. Halfway through the video and just wanted to mention this and help boost the algorithm. Thanks again homie.
Fallout OG here played the thing in 1998. The more young people discover this gem the better.
Great video. It's so nice to see youngin's discovering and getting into the classics that old timers like me grew up on and have loved for decades. 😊
This was mu first PC game back in the day. Nostalgia in full effect. I still love the first 2 games
If I remember correctly that hunting rifle by the toilet might be a reference to Full Metal Jacket. It reminds me of Lenard Lawrence a.k.a. Ger Pyle shoots himself while on the toilet.
Quick save is actually fast, because after initial save(choosing a slot) it as siple as a button press
Charisma is important if you want to add other members to the party. It’s been a while but I know this is the case in Fallout 2. Number of points in charisma directly relates to how many members you can recruit…
Man I bought this game when it first came out and I must have played it a dozen times all the way through. Absolutely loved it. It's the only Fallout game I've played.

This is the first PC game i bought. I didn't yet have a PC, and I played with my friend on his computer. It is priceless to be able to share such gaming experiences with a friend.
Unarmed is a completely viable build, one of the strongest in fact, any Fallout veteran knows this.
I bought Fallout one, 2, Tactics, 3, 4, and NV on GOG. Idk when I’ll play Fallout 1 but I really would like to try it out
I've had this game for years now on steam and have yet to play it mainly because of how depressing it looks like(not a bad thing). The atmosphere is just so creepy, maybe one day I'll give it a try but for now I enjoy watching videos of this game on youtube.
what you said about missing stuff, it is super important for me so I am glad it is not the case here. Ill install fallout 1 as my next game for my steamdeck :) thank you
I just finished playing one. What a blast managed to keep Dogmeat, Ian, Tycho alive but I did miss one companion along the way. Such a awesome game. The Catherdal was one of the hardest parts
I bought this game on a wim in discord with my buddy. Only played ff, balders Gate and Diablo so I figured it would be somewhat similar and was feeling up to it. Now I’m addicted. Do a fallout 2 video 🙏

I was 16 when I first saw them FO1 and FO2. I laughed at my friend who was playing them. "What is this shit?! Turn based action is so lame!" It was 23 years ago. Boy I was mistaken when I played them some 10 years later. Storytellingwise these are the best games of my life with Dead Space trilogy coming close second.
another way of dealing with the radscorpions is hiring Ian in shady sands, hes really good with small guns and can fend of the scorpions for you.

I'm so excited the newer generation are trying these games. I grew up with the OG fallouts and they have a special place in my heart.
as a kenshi fan, this is right up my alley and tbh ive been loving it
Just going through my first play through as a early gen z and honestly the game is so good I was neglecting a 10 page research paper of which I have no experience on research papers due the following day, it's that good of a game, especially with how i managed to quickly figure out the laughably coded ai enemy tracking by just having the raiders in the raider base aggro to me while letting ian getting potshots at those fools as im around a cornee and those fools basically loading me up with deagles and leather armor really early and then eventually metal armor, oh man it was so good im now fucking rich and laughing at some youtuber loser who made a fallout 1 experience video who just used the gambling system and a key logger method to auto farm caps lmaooo im tweaking rn in the middle of my research paper, anyways this game is godly.
you know what i wish - the Ask About would be expanded to like insane levels
Love the video but another tip for those who are brave enough: Book to to Shady Sands asap Ask Ian for directions to Junktown and The Hub Get to the hub, sell everything you find in Shady Pickpocket all the guards, tons of shotgun ammo (nice for selling) and stimpacks Buy Rad-X and Ropes from the General Store (lower prices) Get to The Glow for the Brotherhood holotape (remember to use your Rad-X) Go to the Brotherhood, they'll let you in and if you do this early enough you gain abt 1-3 levels worth of exp Repair the Power Armor in the basement for +3 stength and ofc the resistences (Optional) Pickpocket all the guards for energy ammo and gatling lasers If you have any money, you could also buy the implants This'll get you some of the best armor, a ton of ammo for energy weapons, and boosts to your SPECIAL stats. All without encountering too much combat.
I wish somebody would invent a time machine already. I would go to the '90s and just never leave. Best times of my miserable life.
Thank you for the speed up.
By all means, share your thoughts on Fallout 2! More people need to play these games.
If you're really into the Fallout lore (whether you're a long time fan or got into it from the TV show) I would highly recommend picking up both Fallout 1 & 2. However, I'd recommend having a guide handy since these games can be pretty unforgiving if you make mistakes on your playthrough. To be fair, this is just how games were back in the 90's.
I am currently playing and I am around killing the deathclaw mother, the game is really fun!! The graphics in my opinion is really charming, you should play 100%

Besides from my first run I've never put anything into speech, because it didn't do anything. Is it actually useful?
@AgusSkywalker
2 ай бұрын
Speech is essential, but it functions completely different than the modern games. For example in New Vegas if I need a 40 to pass a skill check, the game lets me know I have that option even if I don't have enough points. But if I do have enough points it tells me that I am using the speech skill for that dialogue. This isn't the case in FO1 and 2. The game never lets you know when you are making a speech roll. In FO3 you know when you are doing an speech roll and what the chance is, in the older games all of that is hidden from the player.
I'm a TF2 player for over 12 years and I found this very specific
Still the best fallout, always will be imo, Bethesda just could never nail the "hopeless nuclear devastation" feel that the original 2 had but 1 just cant be outdone, for anyone new to playing it speech, science and lockpick are your friends.

I am the 13th like. Does that make me the Vault Dweller? Also, my guy... the aimed shot thing is not "basically VATS", _it literally _*_is_*_ VATS._ This was the game that introduced it. I played this game back when it came out... it was madness. I played for over a year straight. Of course I was like, 17 and didn't have anything else to do.

Lol I just made a melee build and wack everybody till they're down. Tried small guns many times but I feel like no matter how many points I put into it my chances of hitting the enemy are still pretty low.
What about a flashlight?
Fun to see a semi-walkthrough review. Played fallout so many times. Still return to it once a year or so (sometimes longer). Only disagreement is the small guns. I go repair I think. Shoot guess it’s time to play again. Just started another NV run through but already a bit bored. Fallout it is. Cheers and thx for the upload!

Why did bro insult gambling, I went to the casino and held down 4 and 1 for 20 minutes and i didnt have to worry about caps for the rest of the game
Tried playing it couldn’t figure out the controls
I cant play this games because of the looks, so i played Atom RPG and Wasteland 3. And what a banger, got the 100% on both
If they ever port the first 2 Fallout games to consoles I will.

Period AND full stop? Damn, you're serious.
We need a remaster for Fallout 1&2, with my 4k monitor the mods I have tried so far like FO1in2 give me awful framerate
Unarmed is useless? It is the most op combat category. You can go mad with the low ap costs and punch everything to death. Just aim for weakpoints and buy knuckles and later on the power fist.
2:03 Eh idk Unarmed is good if you get power fist or heck even other unarmed weapons. Throwing is definitely bad even if you have experience, first aid and doc is actually alr skills if you dont care about super mutant timer althought they're definitely not tag worthy(Im referring to the fact that if you play the game for too long after finishing water chip objective, slowly some towns are gonna get overrun by super mutants, I dont think any town except necropolis actually showcases it gameplay vise but in ending cutscenes you gonna get more bad endinds, the ones that work atleast F1 has tons of bugged endings that only mod fixes xd), steal is bad its one of only skills Im glad got merged into existing skill aka sneak, traps is bad especially if u dont mind save scumming, barter is trash, outdoorsman is worst one since apperently it only improves random encounters and only very few ones about water and gambling is not tag worthy but has a niche for brainless money making As for essential skills I agree although F1 surprisingly doesnt have that much lockpicking so you wouldnt miss thaaaat much but at the same time there arent many skills to tag anyway so might as well xD
I started playing yesterday for the first time and I am already doing Necropolis killed,my first deathclaw and gotten better equipment, it's not that brutal even though I died a lot from the Decker fight,once you reach junktown and the hub the game just becomes manageable cause of gambling its so easy making money.
anyone even know how to even play the game i get an error of failed input devices
Just go over to GOG and buy Fallout there, it has almost everything you need to run it on modern PC. Heck, even the 3rd is better patched than Steam version, and, unlike the Steam version, _it supports cloud saves._ BTW Fallout 1 et tu is a really great mod, and if you want the pure F1 experience, I think you only need to change two parameters in its settings file that introduce F2 weapons and critters into the game.
(Baba is you) music 1:45😂😂❤
i got fallout 1 and 2 a month or 2 ago, and i absolutely love them, way better than bethesdas games, i grew up on fallout 4, but it does have its flawsa
Unarmed useless? This man has never gotten the slayer perk. Doctor skill useless? There's actually an NPC you can get with doctor (I could be thinking fallout 2), and it definitely opens up other dialogue options, one I think that can directly impact the end of the game. Stealing useless? I mean, sure, you can save-scum and always successfully steal, but where's the fun in that? Still going... Barter useless? My man never sold back something for more than he bought it for, and infinite money glitched. Okay, for a first play-through, I would agree that most of these aren't going to serve you as well, but on your second, third, fifth, eighth playthrough then you definitely want to experiment, and see what you can uncover with other skills. There's a lot to see in Fallout 1/2 and every skill unlocks something interesting.
