I've never been a big RPG guy, but I've completed this a couple of times and I like it a lot. What should I play that offers a similar experience?

As a fan of Fallout 1 and 2 and does a yearly replay of 2 and replays FO1 every two or three years: None

Neither classic/old school or modern will fill your void. I know some people will try and pretend Underrail is any good (or even the new Fallout *cringe*), but that game is just cheap indie garbage with terrible writing by some Europoor.

Give Fallout: Tactics a spin. You'll get bored before finishing but have fun for a while.

I think Arcanum is probably the closest. Worse combat, but a much better story. Baldurs Gate 1 isn't too far off either.

>Arcanum
Seconded, I was about to suggest this. I think some of the people who worked on the original Fallouts went on to work on this too.

that makes sense because Fo1 is a small RPG.

Reading all the design docs, but did it feel like to anyone else that VB had an oddly large number of robot characters for fallout? Even excusing the fact that Tibbets is run by an all bot crew.

Wasteland. It influenced Fallout, but the games play different

underrail
It might be my new favorite game. It's basically the real fallout 3.

Wasteland 2 has a somewhat similar feel, but it's not close enough to be "like" fallout

Blood Omen 1 maybe?

Underrail is really linear and has a retarded difficulty spike that will force you to restart if your character is not Min Maxed properly. Also theres no map so that means walking everywhere all over again when you hit that spike. Fun for a while but ultimately flawed

oh please, depot A isn't that hard

This game forces you to really use everything that's available to you, and too many people just want to run in and smash, so they say it's too hard.

I'll give you that going back and forth is annoying, but it's not like you MUST do it.

By far the most fun I've had playing a game in many years.

hope you're kidding
the special thing about arcanum is reactivity and huge roleplay possibilities. the game is a piece of shit tho

Arcanum and the infinity engine games

New vegas is also pretty good but lacks some of the simulation and dread becauae you are a walking tank

I am about to play this myself. I played a tiny bit a few years ago on an airplane.
Maybe I will remember what stats I chose so I don't have to spend time working it out again.
How you will it take me if I tend to do a lot of sidequests but rarely every single one?

Fallout 1 has a time limit of 150 days until a certain point.
After that, there's another time limit, which is 13 years.
In unpatched versions the time limits are 100 days and 500 days.
A few tips:
Take both "Gifted" and "Jinxed" as traits. Jinxed is very good unless you don't like saving after every turn in the beginning. In the late game you won't be missing very often.
Endurance should be as low as possible.
Charisma should be low (3-4). This is not the case in Fallout 2, where the companion limit depends on charisma.
Strength shouldn't be over 6. Since Power Armour boosts it by 4.
Agility should be 10.
Intelligence should be as high as possible.
Barter is an useless skill.
Doctor>First Aid. First Aid can be increased by books.

God fucking dammit. I really should have known I would need to buy more than one rope
Games pretty fun although navigating the cities can be a pain.
