Re: Fallout 2, I never played it, started at Fallout 3, but one thing Ive observed playing Fallout 3, New Vegas, 4, Oblivion and Skyrim, Bethesdas quality sucks. They may be good at creating a good rpg world and story, but the stability and quality of the underlying software sucks. From the crashes (which made New Vegas nearly unplayable at launch) to the stupidity of the AI followers (I need your help-wait where are you? Did I accidentally kill you? Nope, followed randomly shows up half our later like nothing was wrong).
- doesnt_know 8y agoI agree with your point regardless but just a side note that New Vegas was actually dev'd by Obsidian and not Bethesda Game Studios like the rest of your examples.
- baud147258 8y agoBut they used a lot of tech (like the game engine) from Bethesda Studio to develop New Vegas. (a bit like they developped KOTOR 2 and NWN 2 using tech from Bioware)
- KozmoNau7 8y agoOh you absolutely have to play through the first two Fallout games, with appropriate restoration/community patches in place, of course. They are milestones in CRPG storytelling, visual style, gameplay design and dark humor. And if you want another game that follows in the same footsteps, give Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura a try. It's set in a fantasy world undergoing an industrial revolution, with all the friction between magic and tech that would result in. Like with FO1 and FO2, there are community patches to tweak the gameplay balance a bit (especially the one to boost firearms a bit, otherwise they're a bit weak compared to spells).
