I liked Moira Brown's speech about how the world is like a mirror and the Great War broke it, and people can try to put the pieces back together but the mirror's broken forever. The effect was somewhat spoiled by the speech being delivered by Moira Brown, but still. President Eden had some...

No mods on Xbox. Also Gun Runners' Arsenal added a whole bunch of stuff and is well worth the asking price imo. My fully-modded Laser Pistol is indispensable with Optimised Ammo. It's leagues away from Horse Armour.

Yeah, I wasn't shy with spending money in F2 and I still reached the endgame with over 10,000 caps. I think the Sierra Army depot alone set me up for life. Part of that was having plenty of extra storage space due to the car, though. Having vast amounts of money is something that happens...

And there are plenty of players who value having a pretty world to explore over a good story or dialogue. There's plenty of TV, movies and books with great stories and characters, but they don't allow you to fight steampunk robots in a frozen tundra. Bethesda are popular with people who are...

Hmm yes *puffs pipe* credibility, quite

Go have a look at the Collector's Edition playing cards. One of them is Crockett, and he looks a lot different than he did in the final game. Turns out his race was changed at the last minute because they accidentally got a black voice actor to play him. On the other hand, think of all the...

I fully upgraded a laser rifle and I think it looks pretty damn spiffy now, and it's become my go-to weapon. The AER14 and Pew-Pew look gorgeous, but no iron sights which is a shame. Next time I'm going to be playing as a Man With No Name type, and I think I'll be keeping a 357 revolver by...

Same. I try to roll non-combat as often as possible and take perks like Animal Friend because the less killing I'm doing the more I can get immersed. I had less than a dozen combat encounters in my entire Fallout 2 playthrough, and they were all grueling and memorable. Combat is used well a...

I can't resist metagaming, but I tend to stick loosely to a character concept. My last playthrough was a dude in his 50s who used melee weapons because he didn't like how easy guns make it to kill people- you don't have to even really want someone dead to pull a trigger, but you have to really...

Combat progression. For all the problems level scaling has, later on in Fallout 3 you're fighting tough Super Mutants and power-armoured Enclave troopers who pose a challenge. At high levels in New Vegas you're fighting the same Legionaries and Fiends as ever, and the only real challenge past...

Operation Anchorage is good if you like the shooting action, and it has some pretty views and gives a little extra story to the Outcasts. You would have to really like the shooting action though, because that's basically all it is, and it's like two hours long.

it sure is Fallout 2 is certainly hurt by the pop culture references and stuff, but the actual gameplay and world is good enough to outshine them. Just like the good bits in Fallout outweigh the bad.

New Vegas Ultimate Edition > Fallout 2 > Fallout 1 > New Vegas Vanilla > Fallout 3 Fallout 1 is pretty amazing in the writing department, and that makes up for stuff like the horrible inventory and busted ending slides, but if you're comparing it to other games those things have to be taken...

The Pipe Rifle. Yeah, now I know it's a shitty low-end weapon, but when I first saw it I just saw "RIFLE" and my character who'd tagged Small Guns and hadn't fucking found one in the whole hour I'd been outside of Arroyo. Sure, I'll buy a Pipe Rifle for a decent chunk of all my money. Get it...

The Master is one scary motherfucker. I knew how he looked because I'd seen screenshots before, and I knew you could talk him down because it's something the damn game is famous for. What I didn't know about was the Corridor Of Revulsion, and what I didn't notice for a few seconds was that it...

When I first played the game I anticipated a fight when I went to Red Rock Canyon, because I'd killed the Khans in Boulder City and was Vilified. When I went there, though, they just called me an asshole and I could still do their quests. My assumption is that they only become hostile in...

I figured the Chip was somewhere in NCR territory; I can see the Mojave Express having offices outside the Mojave- it's just a name after all. They have a list of couriers to give jobs to, and Ulysses(who happened to be in the Mojave) was right next to the Courier (who wasn't). Courier gets...

I was staying at my friend's house for a while, and he was playing this post-apocalypse game where you run around and get into battles, then die, then reload, then get in more battles and die again. It looked boring, but there were a couple of funny jokes in it(I remember he showed me how he...

I just played the first two games this year, and I think Fallout 2 was definitely better, even with all the wacky shit and less "grey" bad guys(the Enclave actually felt to me like they were added really late in development, like they'd built most of the rest of the game world and one day...
