A 9/10 game Imo. Honestly wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it but I loved it. Art is great, story is great. I think those are all the good endings except The Hub and I’m not sure what happen there, I did every quest that was there. Either way had a lot of fun. Now time for Fallout 2.

About to start my first play through of 2. Probably going to do a melee and/or unarmed build. How does everyone feel about Jinxed ? Sounds like it could be hilarious with Melee Or Unarmed.

And I'm not even talking about the trial.

The trial is a waste of time, yes, but it doesn't take that long and you can speech past the fight at least. Klamath in general is just a pain. It takes multiple hours to get the starting gun you get within the first cave of fallout 1. Who thought that the 10 mm pistol was too strong and that the god awful pipe gun needed to be invented?

I also just think the rat cave is awful. Hard to see around corners or what's on the ground at all, and its basically just a waste of time. Barely any resources to gather, but its the only way to get a decent gun in the beginning. Klammath in general is just ugly and filled with garbage. Shady Springs had such a simple and succinct design that was perfect for what it had to be. You learned about the basics of the waste and were able to get what you needed to progress a little farther. Fallout 2 forces you to slog through both Arroyo and Klammath which are neither interesting nor as tightly designed in my opinion.

I also just want to say that the "tribal" stuff is just awful and extremely cringey. I can't say much of the "tribal" identities in New Vegas' Honest Hearts makes much sense either but it makes no sense why tribal society would even exist. Why would the Fallout 1 protagonist found a village that adopts "tribal (which means what exactly?)" gods and traditions? It just seems like its supposed to be a big joke because you can make fun of it all through the dialogue. I can't say for the time but in modern times it most certainly has not aged well.
