    Who is your favorite companion from Fallout 2 and why is it Marcus

    Another vote for Goris since I had him (until he leaves) in my run a few months ago. I tended to keep 1 only in most of my builds because I generally didn't play high Charisma (just like real life LOL) and anyway, they always seemed to die. Sulik was the one I used the most in FO2 counting...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I still like the Enhanced Edition versions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2.

    How do you deal with the disappointment that being a Fallout fan brings?

    I guess I'm not as die hard as some here. I was very happy with Atom RPG and hope for more games in the same vein. There's my hope for the genre rather than Fallout in particular. I enjoyed FO3 for one reasonably thorough run but doubt I'll play again. I could not even finish FO4 but did enjoy...

    How did you discover Fallout ?

    Sometimes I seem to be dyslexic or inattentive. Somehow I read this thread as about Fallout 2 only. Bought Fallout 1 about a year after it came out, since I didn't have my first PC until 1998. I think I bought it on a whim, though my college roommate may have told me about it. I also adored the...

    Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy - New BG-style game from ATOM Team

    I don't back often but I did enjoy Atom: RPG and Trudograd so I backed this one.

    Scene from Fallout TV show

    Oh God, Jonathan Nolan said this is "about the haves and the have nots"...can anything be non political in entertainment, any longer? I was trying so hard to be optimistic. Cynics are betrayed optimists...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Got Rome: Total War 2 on sale, but I just don't enjoy the battles enough to really get into that game. I keep trying different things in Baldur's Gate 3, finally finished one playthrough. It's interesting that Steam says only 22% as of yesterday even completed the game. Towards the end, the...

    I have it wishlisted though I can never catch up on my queue at this point.

    10 best games.

    I also couldn't get very far in Witcher 3. Glad I bought that one on Steam Sale. My played time shows 7 hours. I couldn't finish the book series either so that's fitting. Overrated, IMO.

    Any new-ish games you actually enjoyed?

    Wasteland 3 release date was in 2020, do you mean you played some other game 10 years ago? Wasteland 2?

    New Fallout trailer

    I thought I was a negative nelly but I see I'm just an amateur in this company. My wife and I will try it, meh. It can't be worse than Rings of Power. I never played Borderlands...if this show doesn't have a good script I'll probably stop after Ep. 2. Kind of looking forward to the grief...

    New Fallout trailer

    I'm cautiously optimistic! To me, it always comes down to writing and acting. Rings of power was shit - writing and acting. Game of Thrones - till they ran out of book, really enjoyable. Same thing, writing and acting. These days, visuals are easy with CGI. Finding brilliant writers...

    This might not be the most blasphemous game anymore...

    I don't even remember Fallout: BOS coming out. I had a PS2 at some point. After not enjoying Fallout: Tactics, I would not have purchased anyway. From what I recall of playing FO1 and 2 back in the day, pretty sure we downloaded patches on dialup to play those.

    How did you discover Fallout ?

    I bought it the month it came out, having played the previous one.

    Not in particular order: Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 2 Stellaris Civilization 2 and 3 (can't decide which I liked more. If it's time spent, probably Civ 2) Wasteland Fallout Fallout 2 Fallout New Vegas Planescape: Torment Hearts of Iron 2

    I played through Atom RPG twice and Atom RPG Trudograd once and am also enjoying Baldur's Gate 3.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    * Mostly done with a Fallout 2 run, which is what brought me to this forum. Gauss Rifle or Plasma Rifle or Vindicator...that is the question. * Trying to finish Baldur's Gate 3 and a bit bogged down. The production values are amazing but I'm having trouble caring about the story by Act 3. My...

    Should I Check Out The Wasteland Trilogy? Is It Worth Playing?

    I remember getting past my Dad's gatekeeping in the 80's to get Wasteland for Commodore 64. I grew up in a pretty strict home. If my dad knew of the mild innuendo and violence in it, he probably would not have let me purchase it. Absolutely adored that game and played the hell out of it. Some...

    Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

    Excellent. Almost through with this FO2 run. I've played at least twice before (patched game) years ago, but I forgot a lot of the story. I liked the Abbey especially.
