Have you tried playing The Long Dark, if your a fan of fallout you will probably like this game.
telepathy exists in fallout 1 there is a perk that blocks the masters telepathic attacks on you
I want to make one suggestion, i love the content and its all great. However i can tell when you are getting tired of talking. you should take a couple minute break in between each major subject. That way your voice sounds fresh.

11:00 I can't understand people complaining about that, it's not "magic"-- it's obviously psychic powers that were briefly introduced in F1 and were greatly expanded upon in the Fallout Bible
they might not have worked out why after picking a fight the psykers in the master's vault could punch straight through their power armour
I mean master gave them power with fev and shiz, this dipshat in Ar-Yoo just could do that?
Maybe he was one of them master bitches? Idk
@@jackb.207 Lots of people in the wasteland are infected with FEV. They just don't know it. It IS weird though how Hakunin is the only one with psychic powers. Plus there's a ghost in Den, so I guess the game was willing to put supernatural elements that break immersion.

I was 15 when a friend of mine (RIP buddy) popped over at my house and said "Dude i got the coolest game, lets install this on your PC and shoot some radscorpions".
We installed it and I let him play first so I get to see what its all about and how the whole thing works. I was isntantly blown away. I was glued to the screen. The atmosphere, the feel, the looks, the gore, the quests. It all has really worked my head. Like yourself I was also obsessed. I had drawings of Vault Boy in all my school journals and notebooks :D

We got remasters of Shadowgate and Waxworks, so it’s not impossible.
They Player's mother looking older then her actual age could be due to the troubles they are going through in the village they're malnourished and sickly.
I always thought it was because she had many, many more children than the Chosen One. Having a lot of kids can wreck a woman, HARD.
People dont realize that a little over a hundred years ago people looked 80 in their 40s. As our lifespans improved so did our appearance through our aging.

@@Creator_Veeto_PAEACP No that's entirely wrong. They always aged like we do now. The average life span was shorter because people died more to diseases and war.

Lets be real, if your goal is to find the GECK, and you discover its just a bag of seeds and some brahmin fertilizer, that wouldnt be very exciting. Theres way bigger things to criticize Bethesda about, and id say the revisioning of the GECK was much needed.

They have been the poster boys of Fallout since the first game. Imagine how different Bethesda's Fallout could have been if Power Armor wasn't featured at the cover of the first two games.
The Master was telepathic, so telepathic powers were already in the series. He was also doing experiments to express it in humans, however Chuck appears to have some powers without such treatment.
There is psychic powers in pretty much every fallout game. Very solid in cannon
New Reno could damn near be its own game. I love all the conflict and intrigue in that one city.
New Reno, the earlier and more interesting New Vegas.
@@silentspartan46 had obsidian not had a limted time frame to make the game and not had to deal with console limitations new vegas could have been as big as new reno.
The interactions between Reno and NCR are really interesting.
@@megamike15 I get that, but unfortunately that isn't the game we got. Not without mods anyway.
Some of my most memorable moments of the game came from New Reno: beat guys to death in the ring with "loaded" boxing gloves, kill a crippled crime boss, be a stripper, make the guy dig in Golgotha, dropping the landmine that he tried to kill you with on top of him, fucking The mob boss' daughter, then his wife, then killing him, his guard and the entire casino after that. It goes on. On the other hand, you can also be a nice person.
The intro narration exudes such a powerful tone that the later games lack in my opinion
I totally agree.
It just sends chills down my spine. Every single time.
the music makes it even better. fo1 and 2 use the more omnious sounding ones which create a far better atmosphere than bethesda ever could with their unfitting TES-esque music tracks.
@@user-kc2fu8iw3v Well, some of the music in Fallout 4 is among the few good things about the game. But obviously not even on the same level as Mark Morgan''s awesome OSTs.
Ron Perlman is the narrator
I like how the elder is just chillin' with a bong at 8:19
Dead ass lmao
I think another thing that makes this game really pop is the Enclave itself, they're an actual terror of the wasteland like the mutants were, both in story *and in gameplay*. You have to remind yourself that these guys use state of the art tech that is way beyond what anyone can dream of using, and them being just as effective in gameplay, I'd argue, gives them their character.
Col. Autumn is going to be upset that you called the Enclave "inbred, shadowy figures" lol
DEAL WITH IT!
truth always hurts Cooter :P
The Enclave is Insulted!
A bunch of pretentious old men playing at running the world but, the world left them behind long ago.
One of several politically-charged remarks that would've been best left out. The Enclave have objectionable goals they pursue through deplorable methods, therefore, let's lambaste them regardless of basis. Being hidden and sheltered does not make them inbred, not even when they're evil.
I take the use of that term as further pushing the notion of them being fascistic, such as it relates to modern Western politics, with this being a common and utterly mindless insult directed at conservatives and libertarians, who are most typically associated with the Southern US, which continues to be inanely disparaged due to outdated infamy. Incest hasn't been significantly practiced there, outside of the poorest areas of Appalachia in West Virginia, for a very long time.
In contrast, it has become a problem in inner city ghettos. Particularly in Dearborn, Michigan, if similar cases in England are anything to go by.
To tie this back to the original point, the logic at play goes like this: southerners are fascists; southerners are inbred; ergo, fascists are inbred. Reinforcing these uses of "inbred" as an insult is how the inbred are all retarded, supposedly, with "retard" being one of the most common internet insults.
Now, I'm not so much taking issue with a fictional faction being disparaged, villainous or not, as with how in a roundabout way this disparages conservatives and libertarians, specifically southern American ones. Unwittingly so, I presume, mind you.
As an aside, I also presume that the main cause for calling them fascists is that they intend to exterminate a large group of people, via gas of all things. If so, you might as well label them communist, as nearly all of the most known communist regimes have practiced democide.
Mao Zedong even admitted that if he'd had atomic weapons during the civil war, two thirds of the Chinese population would've been killed off to better pave the way for the Great Leap Forward, which had been a resounding failure that led to the deaths of tens of millions by starvation in just 3 years, thus staining Mao's reputation internationally and shaking his power structure domestically. The Great Cultural Revolution and its political purges and cultural reformation followed 5 years later and Mao successfully re-asserted himself as the supreme leader. Most folk never learn that China is historically no better than North Korea, if not worse. But I digress.

My first play through, I was stunned when I discovered the G.E.C.K. in a locker. I had levelled my lock picking skill to get into the raider's camp in order to get a day pass for Vault City (didn't actually matter though. If you are wear the robes from the bridge, it is consider being unarmored, so when I returned to Vault City after killing the raiders harassing them, they gave me the day pass as if I was in my jump suit without acknowledging the raider's destruction). But, it turns out, lock picking is a great skill, and if I could get away with braking into places I did it. I had every intention to help the deathclaws, but let's see the hidden goodies while I'm exploring. Bam, G.E.C.K. right there. I had to get up and walk away. So much time, slogging through the games miserable (but very enjoyable) start, onto exploring every town, soaking all the experience points I could: playing like there was a time limit. And to find it, unceremoniously, seemed so fitting. Playing through Fallout 1 right now, checked the same locker in Vault 13, no G.E.C.K. Time travels reading this comment, please make this right.
The deathlclaws will give you the geck when you help them.
You couldnt get the raiders quest without already having day pass.
**vault door opens**
vault dweller:"hello sir."
enclave soldier: *"I AM NOT A SIR I WORK FOR A LIVING YOU MOR-ON!"*
and that's why they gunned down those vault dwellers in the opening.
also i don't get the controversy over the shaman using telepathy to contact you i mean the master from fallout 1 and the forecaster from new vegas also had telepathy. so to say its doesn't fit in with the rest of the game doesn't make sense to me.
You could also see him in your dreams
This was early on in the series, so it was controversial at the time. Like, the Master having telepathy could he explained away somewhat with him/her/it being an highly evolved being.
Just having your average joe wield magic just put some people off
@@undeadeskimo1531 the shaman never told any new information using telepathy. So most likely it was not telepathy, it was memories or dreams

I feel like in the 90s we didn't demand 100% consistent lore and universe from everything like we do today. I wasn't a gamer back then so I only can go on the vibes i picked up on while a little kid. People didn't read into things as much, thinking everything needs an in lore explanation
Running in zig zag patterns is genius! i will do so from now on
I always did that it in the 3D ones sometimes. Friends, never got it.
I wouldn't call it genius. Got some looks for sure. Haven't done it as an adult though. Probably end up in jail.

Yeah that's some next level shit alright
I did my share of going down ladders sideways as if i were strafing or double clicking elevator buttons though
Remember it's not just any old zig-zag, it's a crisp 60° turn (left/right) then a few steps, followed by a crisp 60° turn (right/left) then a few steps - rinse and repeat until you reach the table the maître d' was leading you to, and your perplexed blind date.

It felt weird hearing people in my town buzzing about fo4, in all the years before then it seemed like only a handful even knew of it
This. Comment. Is. My. Mood.
I started with fallout 3 as a kid and then played new vegas and loved it then I finally just said fuck it and played fallout 1 and I loved it. I played fallout 2 for about like 2 hours and got overwelhmed by everything. Fallout 2 to me is like 10 fallout 1's TBH.
@paula i mean that is not fair to say. I would argue 3 and New Vegas up show how fallout 1-2 in how fallout can be, gameplay wise, just not story wise.
I played Fallout 2 first, in 2002. I was about 12, and while I was already an avid rpg gamer, this game completely blew my mind. I was obsessed with it. I even dreamed about it. I still replay it all the time.
I never considered Hakunins telepathic visions to be that controversial at all.
There was precedent for it in Fallout 1, with The Master being able to use telepathic attacks against the Vault Dweller inside the corridor leading to the overseers chamber. Also the master kept a couple of insane psykers as prisoners whom you could aquire the psychic nullifier to protect yourself against The Master's attacks.
So whether it was from FEV or radiation, psychic abilities seemed to be manifesting in a very small number of individuals in the wasteland as basically another kind of mutation.
I liked that it was kept rare and low-key within the context of the story of Fallout 1 and 2. It existed but not to the point where you'd have "spellcasting" NPC's as such, like so many other games would've gone for.
That's one of the things I love most about the original two games (and New Vegas) society was rebuilding, albeit slowly but still society continued. I mean look at the NCR, they're made their own currency, brought back democracy, the world was moving on. Bethesda never understood this and just made the series a generic post apocalyptic game. What they don't understand is, the wasteland isn't going to be like this forever, all the great war was, was a setback, a huge one don't get me wrong, but still just a setback. The wasteland isn't just some place that'll stay shit up forever. If they wanted to make a Fallout game that has you scrounging in pre-war shops for food, repairing your guns with scrap and walking into dingy shanty towns made up of like three shacks, they should have set it VERY shortly after the war.
Bit of a rant I know, but the world building in one, two and New Vegas was fantastic. The Bethesda games? Yeah not so much.
Bethesda has this strange idea that only the player can make a difference and stagnation is practically permanent, which doesn't help with how Todd Howard has this weird idea from playing Ultima, a game that just rewards him and makes him feel like completing another quest.
I agree. We are a couple hundred years past the war. I think it is time to clean up.
@@TKsMantis Mantis: I think it's time to clean up.
Bethesda: Nah, leave it how it is.
@@Scout-164 I agree with your original comment. And speaking of timelines, Fallout 4 annoys me because it’s set so long after the war. 200 years of no maintenance = none of downtown Boston’s structures would still be standing, especially skyscraper like buildings. Lastly, Todd Howard was influenced a lot by Ultima which explains a lot of his game philosophy.
@@kylem8320 Which doesn't always work with RPG games such as Fallout. Apparently to Bethesda as well, shipments of Armor can still be sealed tight 210 years after a nuclear Apocalypse even when they've been sitting in water.
Frank Horrigan is the ultimate fighting machine. Unstoppable, merciless, glorious. No one is safe from the Horrigan.
Except for a 200 % Unarmed critical punch to the groin
Idk if it was just me but Frank was no harder than the supermutants and enclave soldiers i was fighting... he was ridiculous Easy and took my mini gun blasts bout 2-3 times before dying. Not to mention my deathclaw companion wrecking shop.
Radbiker33357 Frank is undoubtably the strongest enemy in Fallout 2, however, if you are an experienced player who knows how to make a good build, then he is not a problem by the time you face him. If you are an inexperienced player who played fallout 1 once and decided you are going through 2 without a guide, you will have a much harder time as your build isn’t optimized.
Redbird7311 strong, yes, but wasn’t difficult unfortunately.
I played one first (a few months ago) and immediately moved on to 2 and holy wow are they rough at the beginning. 2’s character build is a struggle at the god awfully designed temple, but can be put to great use as you progress (though I absolutely hate that these games force U to spec high into agility, yet people say these are perfect games for role playing).
The problem with Frank for me was that by the time I completed every quest and side quest, I was level 20-35 (cant remember) and my gun skills were so ridiculously high that I shredded him in a few turns. It also helped tremendously having the extra followers to help bait the attacks, that way you don’t have much to worry about when it comes to fighting him.
With quarantine vibes currently underway, I have since started a second play through built around stealth and pickpocketing and just reached Vault City, so in due time I can return and see how Frank plays out this run. I might even try to fight him solo for the extra challenge. But as of right now, the biggest challenge I’ve had is just being able to survive the ridiculous amount of battle events with 5+ enemies with 80+ health (raiders and highwaymen).
Radbiker33357 that isn’t because the best builds in Fallout 2 usually struggle early on, I had a crit sniper build that made late game a complete joke, enemies would rarely even get close enough to melee me and trying to kill me using ranged weapons didn’t fair much better. There are builds that do well at the beginning, but they are pretty bad late game as fallout 2 is one of those games that wants you to plan from the very beginning.
That being said, I have played Fallout 2 6 times to completion and used guides, I know a lot about the game and how to get a lot of EXP. The first time I played without a guide, the game was much more challenging, I was more than a few levels lower when I faced Frank than I was when I started used optimized builds, I just didn’t know how to get the max amount of EXP from each situation. Having a build idea from the start and knowing how the game plays out, or at least getting an idea of how it might be by playing fallout 1, makes the game much easier.
Overall, the game really rewards you specializing your build rather than making a jack of all trades type of build, problem is, if you have done a lot of side quests, your specialized build has your character punishing through power armor like paper.
Enclave here, why isnt your video feed working?
One of the best games out there !!! One of my favorites 100 % its VERY hard to Beat Fallout 2...I wish the other episodes would be Similar...76 was disaster !!!

Better then Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, And honestly its not that bad for its genra better then Ark and such.

@Eugene Boucher 8 fallout games? you mean 9 dont you? FO1/FO2/Tactics/Brother hood of steel/FO3/FONV/FO Shelter/FO4/FO76
Tactics isnt 100% cannon but Shelter has nothing to do with the fucken story or such at all anyways sooo. if we 'discount' thouse we get 7 and not 8.
FO4/FO2/Tactics are my personal 3 favs of the fallout games.
I only play 76 with my friend because we try to play all of them
I was 11 in 1998. We had a familiy PC. I got the game free with a PC magazine released monthly. First i got Fallout 1, then Fallout 2. My life was forever changed. These games ARE my childhood. I've played thousands of hours. I even got up at 02:30 at night at one time to play before school. I usually got up at 03:30 to play. I did this for months. Years. Replayability is crazy.
Dude same. I skipped many days of school, "sick," to play Fallout hahaha
I was 14 when fallout 2 came out, I got it on Christmas 1998, I’ve played it many times, i first beat it in 2001, then 2005, and then 2006
That sounds awesome, I'm jealous lol
Were you by any chance from CZ/SK?
Dude! I got fallout 1 for free with a finnish pc magazine that was handed out for free at my first year of high school in 2000. Later, I found a co-worker of my mom's had a pirated copy of Fallout 2, so I got to borrow it. Awesome stuff!

My favorite method for getting into the vault city vault is activating combat while you’re close to the entrance and then running by the guards. As long as combat is active they can’t stop you from passing, and they won’t care after you come back out.

@@MosoKaiser Same engine, but yeah, you're right
Fallout 1 had dark humour and occasional easter eggs.
Fallout 2 is filled with pop culture references at every corner and trades the dark and tough wasteland for wacky hijinks.
Don't get me wrong, 2 is still a pretty decent game, but nowhere near as atmospheric as 1.
Seth Skirpan the gun mechanics were perfectly fine. All you have to do is aim with the crosshairs and shoot. It’s no different than CSGO and OVERWATCH. But what made it such a pain was that you’re skill level with the gun would either increase or decrease bullet spread (high level of perception and small guns would allow a 10mm pistol to actually hit center target). That’s why when you shoot the bullet wouldn’t hit straight, which is as close as you would get with 3D RPG mechanics.
That has actually been one of the best videos I`ve ever seen on UA-cam. Very well done. Thank you for this. I love the whole franchise and it`s great to listen to someone who obviously loves it even more than I do :-)

Bethesda should really look back to the classic Fallouts and Fallout New Vegas to see how a real Fallout is done. Fallout isn't about shooting Enclave, Brotherhood of Steel and caps. Fallout presents a post apocalyptic world where the player make choices that aren't alway good or bad, Fallout must put psychological pressure over the player with great moral dilemmas. Fallout is a perfect RPG that you may enjoy even after 22-23 years after it has been relased. I hope someday that Bethesda will understand what Fallout is and what it isn't.
I understand the desire to move forward and make bold changes, but I agree. A lot of devs could take the past as a good guide.
@@TKsMantis the problem is that Bethesda has too much fear to change things and make new things, this is why in every Bethesda's Fallout there are always BoS, bottlecaps...
And I think that Bethesda has never been good making RPGs, I think that Bethesda is good making Open World games.
It probably doesn't help that, with a mere 18 months, Obsidian managed to make a game that overshadowed Bethesda's first attempt at the franchise and, in many opinions (mine included), still overshadows the titles that came after. Todd Howard is a butthurt man who didn't understand a franchise he purchased, and the original hands getting to return to it showed him up. I'm pretty sure the only reason Bethesda didn't give them that fabled bonus in the first place was because Todd was miffed at how deftly they used Bethesda's own engine to beat them in every facet.
I dare say New Vegas even had more interesting bugs than 3. 🤣
I dont mind the fps mechanics, I just wish they would lean harder i to the rpg side of things. I have played countless hours of FONV and even then it isn't as deep as FO1 or 2. I would love to tool around in a modified prewar car, meet talking deathclaws, and have missions that have multiple morally grey solutions.
I played all the fallout games except for the multiplayer one that came out last after fallout 4.......... I even played the fallout game on the mobile the one where you build a vault with different rooms and levels, can't remember what it was called.
"inbred shadowy figures".
I'm impressed that someone described the Enclave this way, honestly
I can't count how many times I've watched this video while relaxing and playing fallout, I love your videos for some reason nobody talks about my favorite game and its lore like you do lol.
Great video would like to see more of you maybe talking about quest lines or notable lore from the first 2 fallout games
I remember when my cousin borrowed me a CD with Fallout 2, I was 8 years old at that time and as a Polish man of culture I bet whole game with Polish-English dictionary long before there was a released Polish version of this gem. Ah good memories. As always good vid @TKs-Mantis love your work 👌
Hey quick question, did you every come across a "Fallout Tycoon" fan game? I think it may have been in Polish, but it has been a long time - I tried to play it about 18 years ago, but got pretty lost. I wondered if the devs of FO4 had seen it when they decided to throw in the settlement system.
Richard Christie that was from a mod in new vegas
Fun fact: polish version was released by CD Projekt and i think it is the best polish translation of a video game to this day. I was about 10 when i discovered it, it was already released as "classic" game and the price was 20 pln (around 4-5 dollars). I'm 29 now and still coming back to fallout 2 every couple of years.
Heh tak było, miałem tak samo 😅
I also adore the "super duper mutants" in the destroyed Vats facility.
Hahahaha amazing work Mantis! Right when you said "cryptic metaphor" I instantly thought of that and you immediately played the clip! Well done lmao
loved the whole video ty for it
29:40 never thought I'd see TKs again, quite the old clan lmao
Gonna be honest Mantis, I picked up Fallout 2 on a steam sale about a year ago and this video finally convinced me to play it. Keep up the good work my man, I'll let you know how it goes.
You won't regret it.
maybe it's a little bit hard at the beginning but you won't regret it
@Goulash in a gulag uff
Dude I highly reccomend that you get the restoration package before starting because it finishes a lot of the old unfinished content and glitches.
install restoration project from nomutantsallowed for a better experience.
Played FALLOUT 2 first, and then probably a year or two later due to no consideration to chronological order, I played the first FALLOUT. I still carry that weight to this day....
Loved the link to the Temple of Trials at the end regarding being warned that, sometimes, you cannot talk your way out of a fight.
Absolutely! Cousins introduced me to this when we were real young. Fell in love with Fallout ever since. For me 2 was the defining fallout game to date.
Something so true it didn't need to be said, but I'm glad you said it anyways. So damn good.
Thank you a lot man!
It needed to be and deserves it
8:30 Funny thing about Village Elder is that her talking head is almost identical to Tandi's (literally same clay model), whom is almost 100 at the time of F2.
Also there is about 80 year gap between F1 and 2, wrap your head around that. I would say You could squeeze few more generations each 20 years unless You want to picture 50+ Vault Dweller banging some tribal. Maybe she was veeery late child?
11:00 Master: Am I a joke to You people?
hahahah Fair play brother
Like it says in the video, the village elder was born in 2188. But since it's been sourced from the Fallout Bible, its anyone's guess if it's actually canon
Nice to see someone else that has the same mindset when it comes to fallout lol. I've had fun with other games but nothing else resonates with me the way this series does. Something about it as a whole just makes my little brain peeps happy inside
Hey I know this is a year old but thanks for opening up and telling us some stories from being a kid. The zigzag running and all that. Too good man.
Fallout 2 with restoration project is a masterpiece
Link?
@@seronymus Zelda?
@@-Zakhiel- Psycho Mantis?
@@gunnerprickett8168 Shadow Moses?
I don’t think the “magic” ruined the Fallout 2 story in any way. The main character was having visions given to him by a village elder, reinforcing an important detail in the Native American theme that the game was going for. It feels natural given the context. At least... more natural than aliens appearing in Fallout 3 lol
Don't forget the ghosts
The magic visions in Fallout 2 are just as dumb as the fortune telling junkie grandma in Fallout 4 and Fallout 2 also had aliens and a flying saucer.
@@TheHarkonnenScum Fallout 1 even had a special crashed ufo encounter.
mattbacera fallout 1 and 2 already had aliens in their games, why is it a problem for Bethesda to continue this? 🤦♂️
@@Radbiker33357 hold on now. The special encounters were non-canon. The only other alien I can think of is the tanker one which was just a wannamingo.
It's a problem because it's a stupid Choice creatively
I really enjoy the videos you make! i love the the fallout games and your reviews on them are nostalgic and wonderful
Fucking masterpiece, what a time it was to be alive.
I'm not a long time Fallout player, i bought new vegas in 2019, after that i played trough Fo1, 2 and 3, And honestly 2 is still my Favourite one in both story and game play, this might come weird bu i actually like the combat in the originals way more, it feels more rewarding and satisfying, you shoot a guy with a smg and half his body explodes, meanwhile in the 3d games their limbs lazily fall of.
I love turn-based combat. Super fun when you get the hang of it.
Get f-
Didn't I kill you for bottle caps?
Whatever did happened to the fallout 1 charachter i can assume after he was banished he went full dragon quest and made his own village.
He founded Arroyo. Then he wrote his memoirs, and disappeared. In Fallout: BoS, considered non-canon, he makes an appearance in Carbon, Texas. Full of ego. Strange cameo.
@@TKsMantis i was gonna ask i can assume killing the overseer in fallout 1 is canon since there aren't any people in vault 13
@@Kupomasters57 nope, he was still Alive
Atleast until the revolution
Not really into Fallout that much, but I did play 4. Thank you for making this super informing and interesting video. Might actually play Fallout 1 and 2 sometime
1:40 this brought back so many memories of collecting the bottle caps around my home 😂
The telepathy in Fallout 2 is almost non existent, and may simply be dreams. Literally it was nothing more than the creators gentle nudging you towards the main quest. You could ignore those dream sequences for something like 30 in game years.
Yeah I always took them as dreams as well, not necessarily TP
Psionics was in Fallout (1). The Master had a bunch of them locked up, so we can assume it's just a rare mutation.
Is 30 in game years even possible?
I thought 13 years was the time limit
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for Fallout.
Agreed.
Idk what games I would play without it.
Amen.
Fallout 1,2,3 and four are my all time favourite games, and it’s good to see some UA-cam videos on the classic fallouts
Loving the massive bong at 8:32
something about the Shaman i never understood is why people are ok with most of the psykers in Fallout but when it comes to him people suddenly call it magic i always assumed he was just a powerful psyker considering he speaks in riddles and does a lot of stuff other notable psykers do like the fortune teller and that one from fallout 1 that's name escapes me
Its because he was the first to have it with NO explanation.
@@TKsMantis The same could be said for the Master apparently he was telepathically linked to all Nightkin but that's never explained or talked about
@@TKsMantis i would go with native American tribalism->Chosen One/Great Ancestor/Temple of Trials/Shaman or just too much Meants+Jet xd
Wasn't someone working on a mod that would make fallout 2 in fallout 3/NV or Fallout 4's engine? if so I need to play that this story looks amazing
Tape Collier that would truly be epic! That would actually get me buy a good, new PC
Yes I have seen a couple mods trying remake the classics.
Well, shit...I might need to start a gofundme for a new PC...
@@TKsMantis fallout new vegas molten clouds
@@---lf5rf moten clouds looks way better than the fallout 4 mod
When you spoke about your childhood you reminded me how my childhood was painted with the post-apocalypse, and how i did not like swords, and sticks, and how I looked for fallout in other games. I thought that I was the only one. Really great speech for fallout 2, might be the best one yet!
I had the same experience as well 😊
I definitely had a similar experience I remember being in the 5th grade and my first boyfriend i had got me into it all we did was play video games together and bonded over that. NO ONE knew what fallout was at the time( I am currently 28 so this was the 90s early 00s) We would role play pretending we were in a fallout like world on the playground. I remember since i was school age and learning to write stories I used to write fallout sub stories in my comp book for fun lol. It def blew me away and every time i come back to it it is always pure nostalgia. Good to know Fallout and Fallout 2 was also a big part of your childhood too.
Fallout 2 had indeed one of the best main quests I had ever played, along with Baldurs Gate 1 and Mass Effect trilogy.
Based
New upload! Yess, so excited!
I'm not sure if you read these but I really appreciate your work on youtube, it's always so interesting to me, as someone who's a cursory fan of Fallout, but not a megafan. So I appreciate you introducing me into the deeper parts of this franchise. Thanks you sincerely!
I try to respond to everyone that I read. Thank you for watching and I am glad you liked it.
I came to this video after I finally beated both classic Fallout and gotta say, there is no better atmosphere that I experienced by far than those two games, they were long experiences, but rewarding and memorable experiencies, great video man
This video is great! I can't believe it's over 30 mins long, it felt so smooth i didn't even notice: big up for your narrative skills.
I Came here because I wanted to know about the plot of Fallout 2 after losing my patience failing to beat the first game in dozen of hours. Maybe i'll try again sometime in the future.
Anyway, thenks for the video, I found it excellent.
(Also sorry for my english)
*Sees "Fallout 2" in the title of a video
*click instinctively*
"Wait what did I click on? "
My plan has worked.
@@TKsMantis I was not disappointed in the end either, great high quality video.
@Emiliano Drozd Shut the fuck up
@Emiliano Drozd Shut up, Wesley!
@Emiliano Drozd Why are you gay?
I've always respected Fallout 3 for bringing the mechanics into an action fps setting so well, but the first two games were far darker, more poignant experiences where I felt as if I had a far greater involvement with the story overall. The Bethesda games feel like fps rpgs with an emphasis on the fps part, whilst the originals were role playing games to the core.
And you can see that evolution go even further (evolution meaning more into fps and less into rpg) with the changes they made in Fallout 4. The changes in weapons modification and the simplified Mass Effect dialogue wheel being examples.
Pete Sperandio It turned the dial a little too far the other way for my tastes, personally. I’m not gonna say it’s a bad game, but it should really be its own thing instead of Fallout. Maybe a spin off or something.
level scaling changed the whole dynamic. 1 and 2, you had to munchkin a head start out of those early areas. FO3 though..."so anyway, i just started blasting."
haven't got to 4 yet
I mean technically speaking it's good they took it into that turn. They wanted to appeal to a broader audience and it worked. Otherwise I wouldnt be so sure that fallout would be as popular as it is today.
@@arthurlevitsky3347 Man Fallout is actually really unpopular today lol. Considering the times, this is what made fallout popular. So its nothing to do with that, its more being able to do more with their product thats about it. Look at Starcraft? They could of went like WOW but they didnt and imo they did well. Literally hundreds of professional tournaments and its still played to this day with a good player base after 10 years.
So dont fall for "oh they changed it for the better" thats just not true or valid.
22:24 That killed me. As soon as you said "Cryptic Metaphor" that cartoon was the first thing that popped in my head.
@8:20 damn that bong is huge! shes getting geeked
I started Fallout 3, I have played all of them except BoS, I enjoy each game. I know many don't like the direction F76 has went being multiplayer, Fallout 1st, etc, etc but I still enjoy the series and I'm glad I discovered it.
Edit: "it" meaning the Fallout series as a whole to clarify.
I can vibe with this. Thank you for watching!
@@TKsMantis holy crap! I didn't expect you to reply! Glad I discovered your channel!
Take a drink every time he says “fallout” in this video.........
you'd be more intoxicated than a ghoul or super-mutant
Man this takes me back. I remember when I first played this and first got to 13. The moment I saw that death claw, I went in with piss and vinegar, killing all of them. "Liberated" the prisoners on the second floor. Then I noticed on the 3rd floor there were humans AND death claws chilling together. So I saved it, and reloaded an earlier save from when I first discovered 13. The rest is history. A much less bloody history...
Frank Horrigan is my spirit animal.
I need to play Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 some day
Mind telling us how many action points you have in 11:30?
Edit - nevermind its infinity
Yes, some footage used here was recorded with the FALCHE character editor tool.
Thank you for making this. I love the Fallout series and I just bought the original 3 games, but it’s so hard for me to play it. The mechanics are so foreign. I’ll try again at some point in life, but I have always wanted to know the stories.
"Maybe" playing in the background. Awesome
For me too FO2 is one of the best games ever, together with KotOR1&2 and Baldurs Gate 1&2
Two minor but very relevant improvements of FO2 over FO is the ability to trade with your party members instead of having to steal (this caused more than one town to go hostile) and the ability to shove them out of the way so you wont get stuck in small tents :P
i prefer the main quest of fallout 1. it is more linear but also less theme park like.
fallout 2 is still pretty good.
Fallout's main quest is a terrific experience, no doubt about that.
The main quest of Fallout 1 is definitely much better than those of Fallout 2 (which even some of the designer of Fallout 2 acknowledge a few years ago). Besides that you can solve the Master different kind of ways, in Fallout 2 you have to beat Frank Horrigan by combat.
@@ApologyforPepology Yep, though you can rig the turrets against him with the Science Skill and convince an Enclave Squad to fight him with Persuasion. If you do this, all you have to do is sit back and watch Horrigan get killed. This was the "pacifist" path to defeating him (here pacifist only means non-combat, not averse to violence).
@@dakkadakka2435 Which is still death by combat. Fallout 2 was not bad, but I remembered it was my first dissapointment after Fallout 1. F2 content is messy and people remember it far better than it actually is. It has some good writing/design in it but also a lot of really dumb shit people tend to forget.
@@ApologyforPepology The same could be said for FO, the fact that you have several time limits hard coded into the game is absolutely horrible.
Awesome video man. Feeling inspired. I’m off to download Fallout 2 now.
