What are your thoughts on Fallout 2 and how it compares to the rest of the franchise? I’m only a few hours in and I’m loving it

Great game, but I personally prefer the first one.

Good game, better than 1 is all aspects in my opinion except MAYBE story but I really love the Enclave. That opinion isn't the popular one, people prefer 1 over 2 for a variety of reasons, usually story or objections to all the silly 4th wall breaking and pop culture references in Fallout 2. Functionally though Fallout 2 is the better game no question.

In short, it kicks ass.

I've beaten 1, after a few months of off and on attempts. It was fun, though perhaps I was just too burnt out when I tried 2 because by the time I got out of the canyon I wasn't really into it.

>> No.6378972

It rules. The most immersive experience I've had with a drug addicted character in a video game since it's not something can be easily cured like in the other Fallout games. You really do have to constantly think about and plan around your dependence on drugs or you'll get absolutely fucked when you're too vulnerable to defend yourself.

Maybe a bit too gimmicky, but gimmicky is not necessary bad. Lots of fun to have. Wish there were more games like this.

You can literally just walk off every addiction with no issue except for Jet.

And that Jet addiction changes the game significantly. If it's your first time playing and you don't know how to cure it you'll be stuck with drug addiction for most of the game.

Or you can just not use Jet the whole game and not notice.

Riddle me this:
Why would you use drugs in Fallout and more importantly, why the hell would you even try to use Jet?
Or you are some zoomer that started out with FO4 and decided to give the game a shot and realised that oh noes, drugs are bad and aren't just bunch of combat stimulants. Amazing, right?

To max out stats you don't have at 10 yet. Mentats can be used before conversations. Psycho lets you hit high damage reduction in the time where your HP pool is low and crits aren't as potent (Psycho really helps with soloing the Slaver's Guild early). Psycho and Buffout make low AG builds more viable. Lastly, addiction to non-Jet drugs isn't a concern, all you have to do is wait them out in peace. And, also, drugs help you meet perk requirements. Anyhow, the option to use them is there, I don't know why you would find it so incredulous that someone used it.
>why the hell would you even try to use Jet?
It is a pretty broken / overpowered drug once combined with the broken Jet Antidote.

To me it felt like more of the same only less serious and more "funny"... and therefore worse. I didn't dislike it enough to quit playing but I didn't want more of the same, I wanted some actual development. But development toward Monty Python references and crap is worse than no development.

That was like twenty years ago though I guess?? I should play it again and develop a new opinion. But then I remember some of the parts that annoyed me about it and I lose interest. Oh well. I'm sure it's fine.

2 has too many pop culture references and stupid stuff for me.

The main quest sucks ass. The second half of the main quest anyway. To be fair this problem persists in every fallout game, from 1, 2, 3, to nv, but 2's main quest is the worst.

Confirmed for not playing the game at all, since:
The only "animals" that talk happen to be either cyborgs, abnormal mutants or heavily modified deathclaws.
There are ghosts in the game.
There are no anime fights, but I guess it takes to be at least 35 at this point to know what Big Trouble in Little China even is
The only "useless" skill is Outsdoorsman, since it's only useful to avoid combat encounters.
The game doesn't railroad you into anything, nor hides guns away from you, to the point that your statement sounds like you never even reached fucking Klamath, aka played the game for 20 minutes
Literally what?

In other words - get fucked and next time at least give yourself the advantage of playing the game you plan to trash, rather than making bunch of bait-tier claims

>>6383874
Have you tried Tactics? I mean the "plot" is barely there, so go figure, but it's still the biggest offender, at least until 4 is taken into account

>> No.6384063

>>6384028
>Have you tried Tactics?
No, I would never play a fallout game that isn't open world.

Also I'd rather play 4 than NV or 3 or even 1. I think it's the closest thing to the wackiness and light hearted fun of 2.

Great game but it's a like a retarded theme park. Every area has a gimmick. Mobster town. Wild west town. Kung fu town. Mutant town. Ghoul town.
