Fallout 2 Review
Obsidian, Obsidian games never change From everyone's favourite Nuclear Blasted Hellscape. Fallout 2 is a classic CRPG that serves as a rather influential follower to the already legendary first game... Man retro games sure do love that specific setup don't they? In simple terms, Fallout 2 is to Fallout 1 what New Vegas is to Fallout 3. Rather than the barren, near dying wasteland of the first game. The settlements in Fallout 2 are almost thriving and there's some semblance of order to be found amidst the deadly wastes. The writing is a little more direct in any satire and more than happy to drop explicit monty python references or bizarre meta dialogue in the middle of a situation. The gameplay remains.... acceptable. I like GURPs but Fallout kind of exemplifies the worst of retro CRPGs. You're ridiculously underpowered until you're very abruptly not, and some builds straight up cannot finish the game if you don't set up your skill points correctly. Only made...
