This game is kinda caught in a bad spot. It has the gameplay of New Vegas which a lot of people criticize for being clunky, and the Storytelling of Fallout 4, which people criticize for being bad. Not much of a reason to play this one over the other two, but when it released? It wasn't terrible, I guess.

This is definitely a game you want to just blam blam for. Not really a game you can let your character do the talking - you also dont have much a say in how things play out. Its a pretty big downgrade from New Vegas, but if this were your only fallout game, it would do. On higher difficulties, your character isnt COMPLETELY irrelevant, so a little bit of planning is required, but dont expect anything in the way of story. No matter how much Intelligence, Strength, or whatever you have, you cant use it in dialogue like you could in previous games. Its not horrible, but a pretty rough let down from previous installments.

It has clearly aged, but it came out in 1997 and Im still enjoying it today. Good game, especially if you dont mind a little of a darker atmosphere. If you came from future installments, this one is a bit crueller. Its very much a numbers game. A little more footwork is needed than usual, because its not real time combat, this game is turn based. One wrong move and you're going to the Load Save screen. Its also got a fair bit of jank - as a tip, holding Shift shows where items and containers you can interact with are. It wont show lootable bodies, but I thought that might help to know.
