>a rival who does his own quests and influences yours
Sounds like a fun idea, but I can't help but wonder if that would have forced you to finish the game as fast as possible.

Why aren't there remakes of Fallout 1 and 2 in the Tactics engine?
Or even some sort of extended Fallout anything in it besides some tactical combat mods?

>>10214000
Tactics is probably still perceived as the sequel that killed original series. Also NPCs became bland or got dropped by design in comparison with prequels.

>>10214019
What I like the most about classic fallout is how it blends 50s vacuum tech with 90s cyberpunk

>>10214030
Also weapons were very well done.
When shooting basic common pistol fells like it could blast through steel then one knew he's in for good time.

>>10214131
If you didn't die to a 10mm crit in the eyes while wearing power armor, you didn't beat the game.

Check the Internet Archive, but fair warning, a lot of nip releases of western games are missing.

please stand by..

The aesthetic are fantastic for sure, it really nails the retro future look

>>10214596
Found nothing on the IA but I found this while searching in Japanese:

>>10214768
The aesthetic of the first game was partly inspired by the 1995 sci fi movie city of lost children

You can see this in stuff like the eyepiece for the lieutenant

get ready

These games filtered me hard. I like shitty graphics like PS1 ones but the graphics here are way too shit. Not a deal breaker, but the gameplay is unfun to me. "Click the larva 5 times in 5 turns to get based XP points!" is really boring. I don't like mouse controls like that in general. I play a lot of retro games but this is one of the few ones that filtered me.
I loved New Vegas however.
I'm a zoomer btw

>>10216473
I love it when you guys diss millennial nostalgia and they seethe lmao

>>10216541
I have nostalgia for Fallout despite being a zoomer. God bless being port, it taught me the value of pixel art and old games.

One of the ways in which Fallout 1 was, in my humblest of opinion, a stronger title was that it had a much more more stronger sense of focus on tone of being a post-apocalyptic. It was around 40,60 years after the bombs fell, the biggest city is the Hub, which is just where caravans meet up to trade supplies. The closest thing to residents besides that were the Highwatch family (R.I.P.), junkies and the two criminal organizations.
The rest of the settlements in Fallout 1 still had a very small sense of scale, and was very western. Even Skull Junkyard (or whatever place the Gunners are), had Deathclaws and a toxic waste issue within it's borders. This contributes to the feeling of the original Fallout that isn't captured much in games, of the humanity co-existing and being dominated by nature, not the other way around.
Compared that to Fallout 2. People tend to focus on the references, but that's missing the trees for the forest. Because overall, the tone has gotten more cartoonish, less wild. There's no Deathclaws two map cells away from town, there's all sorts of settlements in which are big in scale, like NCR, New Reno, Modoc. People are taming the west, technology and living standards are progressing, and instead of just one crime family, there's four of them. Not to mention all the sex and shenanigans you can do. But the car itself is much more emblematic of the issue. We had to walk the waste our selves, now we have a car and have to refuel it. Not to mention San Fransisco being again, so cartoony. We went from taming to dominating the waste. It's a real shame that the only group to degrade was the Brotherhood of Steel: I wish everywhere else was worst.
This is why I find Fallout 1 to be better. Both games are great, but 1 transcends being a game and becomes a great experience, while 2 is just a game.

>>10216628
I prefer the second game though because I'm a filthy casual

>>10213543
Classic Fallout: Fallout 1----->Fallout tactics-------------------->Fallout 2

>>10217494
This is in terms of timeline, not my views on overall quality, BTW

>>10217498
For me it's:
Fallout 2----->Fallout tactics-------------------->Fallout 1

Master: I have a way to give the human race immense physical strength as well as an impregnable immune system AND radiation resistance, all so we can thrive in the wasteland
>But eugenics is...............le bad
What was the vault dweller thinking

>>10217780
Nice strawman, fucko. FEV does not help the reproductive system at all. In fact its the EXACT OPPOSITE!
No future generations!

The lieutenant is the smartest being in the game and he doesnt seem very worried about it, it's something he thinks will be fixable in time, he was just smart enough not to even mention the problem to his bipolar disorder-ridden boss, who aparently decides to kill himself upon hearing any bad news

If you went up to the front of the Brotherhood of Steel and told Abbot that you have knowledge of the past, future, the Glow, the missing scribe, the super mutants and the Enclave, would he let you inside to talk to the elders and/or give you a suit of power armor and a plasma rifle?

I loved Fallout 1
I didn't like the sequel
i don't know why is that

>>10218968
FO2 has a dry endgame. FO2 feels better in almost every way up to that point, then it just becomes empty.

>>10218935
He would think you are crazy psycho addict.

>>10218968
Fallout 2 is le quirky and muh pop culture references.

>>10213773
She was actually Irish that taught German in school.

Is there a way to get rid of the flickering UI and performance issues I have with Fallout 1 (1.1)? Basically some elements of the UI (like the cursor) flicker in and out of existance and the game isn't as smooth as it could be.
I have no unofficial patches/ fixes installed apart from the Hi-Res patch (which I installed only because I read it did other things too and I hoped it would fix this problem, but it didn't).
Wrappers like dgvoodoo2 also don't help.
Unrelated, but
>tfw no up-to-date sfall for FO1
I really hate it when a really good game gets a sequel on an upgraded version of the same engine and every cool fan fix/ QOL addition only ever gets developed for the sequel because it has a "better" engine despite the original game being arguably cooler. Worse is when people even port the OG to the sequel to some degree rather than fix compatibility issues of the original game (games like Thief, Fallout or Myth for example).

>>10221381
DELETE THIS

>>10222414
And then you prove it by posting Sargent Dornan. Uh-maz-ing

>>10213981
They tried the same thing in fable and that idea was a bust. Just smoke and mirrors.

Wonder if fo3 could have done it.

>>10222790
>Sargent Dornan is nothing but pop culture references and Quirkyness. and posting him proves ME right!
How so, Dear NMA mega Autist? I know that Bethesda, especially since after 2010 or 2012, thinks most of its customers are stupid. However, I do not share your inherent seething hate for Bethesda, nor most of Fallout 2's humor. I'm not denying the compatibility issues of the original game, though. Though, I for one, would rather play Thief Gold edition, over OG Thief

>>10216473
You're missing out on a lot of great DOS-games with that attitude

The graphics doesn't bother me. It's the stylized reliance in small buttons for everything.

>>10225936
>doesn't like the funny retro buttons

It's not the retro buttons per se. Taketh save load buttons in fallout one. There's a whole welded panel that could serve as the quit button, but no you gotta click an 8x8 pixel button. It worked in the days of mouse-only but it's annoying today. I refunded fallout 1 recently because of this and other, mostly UI/UX issues. The same issue is present in Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri but to a lesser degree and mitigated by the fact that the game is totally awesome.
