im about to drop it

Just play 4. It's all you need. The rest are just shit.

>>718400527
>shit

but /v/ told me that this one is the best written of all

it's completely overrated. so you're doing the right thing.

Summerfags and getting filtered by Fallout.
Literally every single year without fail.

Get you agility to at least 9 and perception around 8. Take small guns and get the .223 pistol as soon as possible, it pierces armor which pretty much sets you up for the rest of the game. Picking up Ian in Shady Sands as a companion will help in the early game but you might get sprayed down by him on accident.

>>718400772
Don’t listen to this faggot. Just play 3/FNV/4
Fallout Classic is overrated shit. Only contrarians want you to play it. Pillars of Eternity 2 and Tyranny mog Fallout. Hell, Wasteland 3 mogs Fallout.

>>718400916
You play 3 and 4 when you've totally given up and want to be publicly known as a failure. You won't fully appreciate NV if you haven't played 1 and 2.

>>718400397 (OP)
its a point and click adventure with turn based combat. unfortunately the graphics do not hold up so the pointing and clicking part is actually more difficult. for example, the first item you need to get down into the first vault is a rope. you can either buy it from a vendor, find some laying around in shady sands or there is one already in the vault. unfortunately the one in the vault and the two in shady sands are so hard to see because of the graphics, meaning you really have to buy it.

>>718400772
and unfortunately this anon is correct, there is one "correct" build that will get you through most of the game pretty easily, kind of takes away the whole role playing aspect

>>718401016
>Play 1 and 2 first
New Vagina isn't even good then either.

>>718401016
>You play 3 and 4 when you've totally given up and want to be publicly known as a failure
Only a loser cares what other people think. 3 is the reboot of the franchise that gives the quick primer for FNV. Nobody gives a shit what Hbombercommie or /v/ posters think.

>>718400397 (OP)
The original Fallout games are pretty shit. Yeah the worldbuilding and writing are cool, but that's just about the sole thing they have going for them.
CRPGs from the 1990s were just ass to play. They controlled like shit, you never knew what to do, and the difficulty is so bullshit that you actually can't pull off many different builds in those games.

Ironically Fallout 4 has better viable build variety than 1 or 2.

>too complicated, I'm giving up
weird mindset

>>718400772
No one has ever been filtered by fallout and you replying to it seriously just shows how fallout fans are all retarded redditors

>>718403828

>no one has ever been filtered
>post is about it

>>718403462

isn't that the number 1 reason along with graphics to drop a videogame?

Not surprising coming from the generation that struggles with folder structures

What the fuck are you talking about, it takes 5 minutes to get used to the controls and you can always lower the difficulty to the point of every build being viable, I genuinely don't know what could be stumping you in Fallout 1 or 2

>>718404425
It's not complicated though, not in the least, it has maybe one extra step to it compared to the 3D games and the step is the equivalent of "walking is now in VATS too"

>>718404425
so? it's still a bad mentality to have. I can understand if you made the argument "I don't find the gameplay appealing" or "the control scheme is janky", but giving up because you feel overwhelmed by something?

>>718404930
bad yes. not weird

>>718403012
So it's not just me that has a problem with FO1 and FO2, that gets bored as hell playing them and that doesn't understand what to do, for they hadn't neither put a quest tracking window on that games. You just proceed without knowing if you're missing something, any side quest etc. They need a serious remake

>>718406224
>they hadn't neither put a quest tracking window on that games.
??
>You just proceed without knowing if you're missing something, any side quest etc
Then be more thorough, the game doesn't need to hold your hand and you don't NEED to beat every side quest, leave something for the replay

That's normal, games from that time were like that. You push forward and learn. Learning the world was part of the game.
Games nowadays do everything to accommodate you, they do so much, it pisses people off sometimes.

As someone who completed it blind as a dumb 12 year old who could process maybe 1/3 of the information he was provided by the game, I find it hard to believe

>>718400397 (OP)

You didn't even leave the fucking rat cave before you made this post did you?

>>718400397 (OP)
I played 1 and 4. I enjoyed neither.

Status? They call it "status"? And putting a section where they tell you better what to do was that difficult?

>>718407092
the adult mind is no match for the enthusiasm of a kid

>>718400397 (OP)
Read the manual or just press f1

>>718407701
>he didn't just check and see if there were any necessary patches before starting the game
is this the first game you've played on PC made before 2010?

>>718407851
The only patch I downloaded beforehand was the one that restored all the good endings

>>718407851
I played it vanilla without issue

>>718407851
NTA, I was a consol fag but I don't remember ever patching my few computer games? Civ 4 needed it but Civ 3 didn't, or BG1&2?
We're we supposed to be patching in the 2000's?

Seriously a great game. The overall story is good, but the game mechanics aged like milk.
Some modders was trying to remake it on FO4 engine, but grown tired and left it incompleted.

bigger number = better

>>718408119
i'm talking about playing old games on modern hardware, a lot of games i've played need fixes installed. i wasn't pc gaming back then so i can't say what people were doing in the 2000s

>>718407632
No, I got tired almost immediately and downloaded a trainer. I was just playing it to see the story and the going sightseeing the major cities, in order to have a clue when they are cited, what they're talking about. I didn't played it for the grinding and all the slow-hell combat mode.

>I didn't played it for the grinding
There is no grinding, stop typing random shit and make sure it makes sense before you hit submit

I'm pretty sure you can play through almost the entire game with just left and right click. It's not as hard as it seems. Just read the relevant part of the manual please be able to navigate a table of contents please
