Definitely the original Fallout. It is the only one where the developer team actually understood the setting. That said, Fallout 2 corrects the gameplay —somewhat, and it's larger, so if given the choice of just one, I'd choose Fallout 2 despite it not being the better game.

That's Robby, the Protectron is just (barely) enough to —not— be Robby.

The Protecteon follows the world setting close enough. Is there anything else original to FO3 that does? *On a side note: I really like the Protecteon sprite , but I must mention that —IMO, electrical zap damage would not reduce a robot to ashes; it would reduce it to ~something, but not...

IIRC, the first FO3 screenshot reveal was around June of 2008.

I just end combat and move on.

I need to replay PoE1. My party ran into an insurmountable standstill. There is a tangled bramble & thorn wall on the lower levels that allows you to slip through, but you find out that it's only one way. Well... after that I went down the stairs that are at the other side of the wall, and there...

There would seem to be an (obvious?) easy fix for this. When you play D00M [1&2] the game tells you outright at the end that you missed certain secrets, and it inspires one to replay the map. If an RPG tells the player that their resolutions were not always the best choice, or at least not the...

Ideally every RPG should be that way; Bethesda is quite hostile to that AFAIK, (and they are not the only studio either). RPG content should play out like an ink blot mask on a Where's Waldo poster with only the exposed content accessible to a given PC, on a given play-through; based purely...

Fair enough, but an NPC can be missed, or forgotten, where a monument is seen every time the player comes to town.

I wonder why they chose to make it an NPC instead of a monument? (...or even an animated one, like a clock tower, or a mechanical fountain.)

The best realtime tactics games that I have played are the Myth series l&ll. Hectic, frenetic chaos, but the pause menu trick works on them both, and doesn't show on game recordings; which has me sometimes doubting the many No Casualties videos one sees of them. This game is brutally difficult...

I love both series very much, Fallout and Baldur's Gate, however not with the mechanics swapped. Each their own (mechanics) is defining of their IP. I was quite disappointed when Torment (and later BG3) both used turn based mechanics in deviation from their established IP; same of course with...

*But then I only ever play it using turn based mode. BG1&2 gameplay is superb, but never for use in Fallout of course.

That's quite a lot of sprites. :clap:

Ghouls and Super Mutants too?

But can they use all of the weapon types, and have their own critical deaths anims?

...Which they then did. :twitch: If they had bought Abe's Oddysee instead, they would have treated it the same way; they only wanted to re-skin TES Oblivion.

Why use Fallout? :scratch: *Kudos for the mod idea :ok: certainly, but the timelines would seem incompatible (Fallout's great war began in 2077, Terminator's began in 1997). In Fallout, Skynet would have been an organic brain (like the kind seen in Frank Herbert's novel, Destination Void). To...

I personally believe that Bethesda understood the IP well enough...and chose not to care. They ruined the IP for profit sake; choosing to re-target FO3 towards their Elderscrolls demographic. Sure, there were devs on the game who had not played the Fallout series, and some whom had never heard...
