i like fo2 better but i can see the merit to the arguments that 1 is better

I was 12 when I played Fallout the first time and something about the way it's structured with secret timers and consequences, especially if you decide to deal with the water merchants, just hooked me into the setting and story. There was urgency when it happened the first time, and then every playthrough you did was immediately hit with that sense of urgency.

I love 2 and NV, but I really enjoy the way they used the Master as a foe and a gameplay mechanic.

I'm on episode 3 and I enjoy Goggins and I can turn my brain off for it and have fun, but it's extremely Bethesda's Fallout, not the one I like.

It gets even dumber in the last episode when they completely retcon the backstory from the first 2 games

It was an alright show but it's definitely a show about the Bethesda fallout and not the original fallout

How do they do that? With the flashback to the Vault-Tec stuff? That was the big reveal at the end of Fallout 2, how every vault is an experiment.

Which is specifically the reason why I think Fallout 2 ruins the Fallout franchise. Fallout 1's vaults' failures and consequences mostly had to do with how cocky and confident the super fragile utopia they were trying to live in was. In Fallout 1, Vault-Tec was a dumb company run by dummies whose ignorance and pride caused a lot of problems -- you can find specifically how Vault 13 had this brand new water technology (which broke) and how Vault 15 had some new fancy structural technology (which failed) and the Bakersfield Vault had some fancy new seal that would keep that was especially clean from radiation (but the vault door wouldn't close all the way, leading to The Necropolis and -- maybe where most of the ghouls came from?) Fallout 2 makes them out to be a ridiculous villain with a ridiculous motivation, where instead of Vaults malfunctioning and breaking down by lovely technology and regulations, they were intentionally sabotaged to produce uhhh... survivors?.

The Fallout show actually really adheres to Fallout 1 and 2 (and New Vegas)'s story by not featuring any super mutants. By the time Fallout (the show) takes place, all the supermutants should have died off.

theres also way too much disney marvel clever quippy style dialogue which is really annoying. but whatever, everyone is aping that poo poo these days. it almost fits the weird chipper attitude of vault dwellers anyway. its just weird af when BoS monastic order types are doing it

AI breakthroughs have made AI-generated music a super neat thing, and an overwhelming amount of goons use it to make songs specifically about making GBS threads their pants. Which is a topic goons loving love. Goons love making GBS threads themselves. Honestly if there's one thing I could change about these forums, it would be to make goons not love their feces and farts so loving much.

I'm turning 40 in less than a month and I still haven't poo poo myself since I was a toddler. Not a single time. I don't even consider it an accomplishment but god drat, maybe it is, reading the threads on these forums.
