Very cool. Best part is, anyone aiming to run you over will be breaking the law if they don't stop!

The track from the preview is excellent, pitch perfect for Fallout.

Anti-Materiel Rifle is fucking metal. Of course you use it.

I must be playing an easy version or something, because I've only been stung once and I don't even use VATS. ED-E and Boone help bigtime though. Boone with anything semi-auto makes you largely unapproachable, I find. Obviously give him the Marksman Carbine if you can.

I'm on my first playthrough, and I'm doing it hardcore with no VATS allowed. Yeah, it's not very hard. Nothing like FWE for Fallout 3 could be. I'm a sniper, with Boone and Ed-E, and there aren't many challenging enemies. Vault 34 got a bit hairy. Deathclaws ate a lot of ammo. But I have quite a...

Could be that. Could be because it's an Obsidian game.

Dude...unclench!

Using Fallout 1 as the standard, I would say that is largely incorrect. Yes, you'll see influences of 50's pop art in various posters and whatnot, and some things that were still around from the pre-war days (ruined cars, tv's) but as far as the reality in the game it was virtually nonexistant...

Could be worse. I think the nicest original touch is the arranged marriage bit. There is no villain, which usually guarantees a certain amount of suckage. Too much "OMG look at the mutated freaks" type stuff, where I would prefer the old west approach. The main characters seem...

Never played the expansions, but I'd been meaning to buy them. I believe they allow you to play German and British factions in new campaigns.

Wow, nice deals. Has anyone played the Warhammer games? I can recommend Company of Heroes. Definitely worth $5.

Books 3 and 4 of the Dark Tower series are really incredible.

Same thing happened to me after updating to 2e. I gave up and decided to wait for 2.1.

Fantastic on both. Massively so.

For being one of the most well-written games of all time, Fallout 2 certainly did a poor job of continuing the narrative from Fallout 1, in my opinion. Someday I'll unleash my version.
