Fo1 has one crasy feature : chatting "TELL ME ABOUT" in the NPC dialogue window. You can ask "ANYTHING" to an NPC.

I saw a comment on Reddit about how the 1 intelligence would actually make a lot of sense as to why you are Vault 13's only hope. You wouldn't have a lot of value in the vault, needing a lot of help for things as you can't even say a single sentence. But you are pretty damn strong. So if you do your job, fantastic. But if you die? Nothing of value was lost.
cept for the part where you have to be able to either identify a water chip, communicate with dozens of people or do some creative archaeology to figure out where to find one
@@jamesduffy7549 Not even only skeletons, theres one guy you can meet that says he is from vault 13 and also got sent to find the chip. I dont remember where you can meet him tho.
Albert Cole, the prebuilt character who is canonically most likely to be the Vault Dweller, is a high-speech CHA build known during his brief lore blurb for pushing to explore the wasteland. As you go throughout the game, you find that many in the vault share his views, and can talk down a nascent rebellion against the overseer. This makes understanding the overseer at the end much easier: your character, now a returning war hero, is a gigantic threat to his power base.

It had such good storytelling especially if you grew up during the cold war. Imagine if you could get on a tour bus, ride into the desert and watch a nuclear bomb go off. Radiation King baby :)

Oh games used to be actually good and it doesn't matter the graphics it's the writing and the brutality and without the hand holding that matters for a good game holy shit who knew
Bethesda is a cancer upon gaming culture. Younger generations simply will never know about the Majesty of true gaming, when games were niche entertainment even in the late 90s. They will never get to experience actually true gaming, because games have become so commodified that they are basically just the same shitty Marvel movies that they see in theaters and pay money for it and think it's the best shit ever without even realizing but it's all derivative cheap ass bullshit and that there is true art to be had because capitalism has just consumed everything of worth in society
15:00 I remember playing Fallout 2 and critically missing a shotgun shot. The message read something like "You critically miss a Raider. The shotgun blows up in your hand, destroying your arm and killing you on the spot. You were hit for 250 hit points." and my character played that "half of your torso gets vaporized" animation. 21:25 Killian is actually modelled after and voiced by Richard Dean Anderson. Ya know, McGuyver or Jack O'Neill from Stargate.
The voice cast in these games is actually surprisingly star-studded. Like for instance, in addition to Anderson, Fallout 1 has Clancy Brown, Keith David and Tony Shalhoub. Not to mention Ron Perlman being the narrator in all of them up to New Vegas. New Vegas is the craziest though, game starts with fucking Matthew Perry shooting you in the head.
@@lonelyincorporated1583 So this one time I was in the Den. I accidentally pissed off someone and ran away from them. They tried to shoot me, but critically missed and hit a member of another faction. This turned her and all her guards hostile. During the fire fight someone hit a random casino patron with a stray bullet. the entire town went completely hostile. Everyone was fighting everyone else, and even the orphans got gunned down. By the end, I think 20 people were dead.
Yeah, seemed weird to me too, back in the days. XD Today I´m a bit more in the game-mecchanics as I were as a child and it makes more sense to me now. A critical hit could, in addition to only dealing damage, also cripple the bodypart you´re aiming at. And sometimes it can happen that you cripple a bodypart without dealing damage. Also the part with the -16% chance at aiming and hit. The game-mechanics say that a roll of 20 on a d20 (yes. the game rolls a twenty sided dice hidden in the background for skill-checks. Hilarious^^) is always a critical success agaist all odds. For me a 10/10 too!
@@czarnakoza9697 Even Fallout 3 and NV have DR and DT. NV just doesn't use DR except for one piece of equipment (iirc the rebreather) and even that due to a mistake.
It was a very solid logic . Even if you find some critical spot , you might not be able damage it . Carapace , power armor etc . Fallout world was tough XD
The creator, Tim Cain, has a lot of interesting stories about the development of Fallout 1 and 2. Also how the CEO screwed him and everyone else over. CEOs never change.
A few really important things to note about this game that I love, 1: the game goes on with or without you, theres a set schedule for certain events to happen in the game, and if you arent there by the time they happen, you can actually miss out on a lot of context in the games, such as the events of necropolis. 2: Theres a lot of weird item interactions that you can do in the game that are really fun, like after setting the timer for a bomb you can pickpocket the bomb into someones inventory to blow them up. And 3: if you know where to go, and how to do the correct setup, you can beat this game at level 1, never fighting anything, and do it in like 10 minutes, its freaking hilarious
Fallout 1 was originally going to use the GURPS role-playing system from Steve Jackson Games, but the deal fell through. This explains your "Critical hit for 0 damage" incident. GURPS combat consists of: (1) Your attack, (2) opponent's dodge, and (3) opponents damage mitigation. You attempt to hit was a critical success, but because you were using a low damage attack (fists) you didn't penetrate the radscorpion's armour. The crit. would have applied a multiplier to any damage that did successfully penetrate.
If I remember correctly, the damage calculation is done in such a way that everything is done before subtracting the DT from damage So, you roll for hit, then you roll for damage, multiply that by your weapon modifiers (see AP 10mm dealing half the damage or the FMJ .223 dealing 10% more) and your enemy's DR, roll for critical hit, roll on the crit table (from instakill to cripple+knockout to knockout to knock over to beeg damage to big damage(depends on the body part + there's some DR and DT ignoring shenanigans)) then subtract the DT and add your DT mitigation coming from the ammo type I don't remember the exact crit damage modifiers, but here's the picture: You roll successfully for your hit. You roll for 9 damage. You have 10mm ammo so you do 1,5 of that, dealing 13,5 dmg, rounding up it is now 14 damage. Your enemy's DR is 50%, so they take 7 damage. You successfully roll for crit, landing on the smallest amount of damage done, meaning you do, let's say, 50% more, meaning you do 11 dmg rounded up. Then, you take your enemy's 6 DT into consideration, multiply that by 2 since you're shooting 10mm and now you've got 11 damage and 12 DT. Voila! Zero damage critical.
@damsen978 Well they wanted that younger audience appeal, but tbh they still keep it quite grim at times. And if you want more of it's type, Underrail is basically a spiritual successor to Fallout 1&2. If you need more info or convincing, Sseth made a wonderful vid on it.
fallout 1 was the diablo 1 of all diablo (and to the point, arpg) games. There was a certain feel to it. It was gone when I played 3. Not played another fallout game since
Props to you.. I’m 22 and I’m trying to get into old rpg games. The oldest non arcade game is resident evil 2. I don’t have that much patience but old games have a charm new games don’t have
90's cRPG (Fallouts, BGs, etc) were made for us - gamers - to have FUN. I finished Fallout1 & 2 couple dozen times and everytime i had different experience, different dialogues and new quests were unlocked based on your character build and reputation. It was pure exploration extravaganza.
@@Strider1633 He should also get the Talking Heads That Actually Talk mod which adds voice acted 3d model sprites to a bunch of characters, its actually crazy how high fidelity it is
There is just so much love true old Gamers have for this franchise that defined a generation, quality of life improvements Graphics improvements everything. These games were the real fucking deal not this fucking daytime drama paint by numbers pulp Hold you by the hands novellas that Bethesda shat out of their Collective anus.
I will never forgive them for the atrocities they committed upon real gaming, when games were unforgiving, brutal, real, uncompromising, and well written. Bethesda is and always a cancer upon the corpus of the true gaming artform.
@@kel_ski trust me I’ve played the second one, holy shit it’s hard, you actually have to think about making a good build for your character or else you’ll be seeing that skeleton more time then your own family
Speaking of quests, in Fallout 2 some of them allow you to negotiate the terms of your reward to the point of stripping the quest giver naked, sometimes literally. For instance, there's a woman who asks you to bail out her husband, and if you're a really scummy dude, you can demand that she sleeps with you right in front of her family, and since she has no choice, she'll do it, cursing and swearing at you the whole time. It's great.
On my first playthrough of fallout 2 i saved up and spent all my money on a gauss rifle and ammo for it, 5 minutes later random encounter, i shoot an enemy and see "you critically missed, your weapon was destroyed" didn't save for like 2h, cool game :^)
The alien oneshot pistol brings back memories.. i remember secretly playing this game as a kid on my dad's computer. I found that pistol and used it as an absolute crutch for as long as it lasted. I remember it could oneshot the most powerful enemies with ease, i kept reloading my save when it ran out because my tiny little brain couldn't survive in this game without it.
Alright, here are some tips for new players: 1.) Difficulty - If you actually want to have fun in the first two games, go into Preferences, set the game speed to max, and set both difficulty options (yes there are two separate difficulty options) to low. There is no shame in this, the game will still kick your ass. 2.) Infinite money - As soon as you find the hub (and you have yourself at least 6 luck), go and find the casino. You are going to one of the tables, saving your game, and then pressing and holding down the 5 key, and then (also) the 1 key. These two will rapidly choose the options “bet $50”, the highest bet amount, and “bet again”. If your IRL luck and in-game luck is decent enough, within 15 IRL minutes, you’ll have won enough caps to buy whatever you want for the rest of the game. 3.) Increasing SPECIAL stats - First, during character creation, get the Intense training perk. Less xp is worth it for more SPECIAL stats. Next, never get any stat to 10 during character creation, and specifically leave strength at 6, and both intelligence and luck at 8, if you want to eventually max those three out. - In the game, becoming a brotherhood of steel member means that you can purchase singular upgrades to strength, perception, endurance, intelligence, and agility. - Now, by abusing the game’s mechanics, it’s actually possible to buy an intelligence upgrade twice. By taking like 4 or 5 mentats at once, and then waiting a day, this will cause your intelligence to fall to 2 or lower, which will give you the dumbass speech that was shown off in this video. This will allow you to buy a second int upgrade, as the dumb dialogue has a separate check for if you already got an int upgrade. - Going back to strength, the reason you want to keep it at 6, even though this will unfortunately be a huge handicap in the early game until you can get the strong back and pack rat perks, is that you can increase strength by +1 with the brotherhood, and then power armor also gives you +3 strength. - As for luck, this one is a bit trickier. You have to find Chuck in the boneyards. He will read your fortune, and this will increase your luck by +1. However, by following a VERY specific set of dialogue options with him, you can glitch the game, and get +2 luck. I highly recommend looking up the walkthrough on how to do this, I always find it hard to remember, myself. 4.) Radiation - Radiation in Fallout 1 and 2 is absolutely no joke. And in order to join the brotherhood and get the upgrades and power armor, you need to enter the most radiated area of Fallout 1, the glow. Rad x and Radaway are ESSENTIAL for entering this area, and you need to constantly make sure you are at the max level of radiation resistance. - How radiation kills you in these early games is different than you’d expect. Getting radiation sickness means that all of your SPECIAL stats will take a random debuff, and if any of your SPECIAL stats become 0 or lower because of this, it means instant death, which can absolutely soft-lock your game if you’re being stupid. If you’re radiation free, or at least not suffering from radiation sickness when you finish in the glow, you should be fine to just leave and get your rewards from the brotherhood. 5.) Saving - Save often, and save in different save slots. Have a different save for every location you find. Have a separate save slot for when you’re just wandering around. You have about 10 save slots, use all of them. You will mess up and not realize it, so it’s always good to only have to reset about an hour of progress, rather than 3 hours. 6.) Fallout 2 - Download and install the Restoration Project patch.
Last time I replayed FO1 I used the Fallout Et Tu mod that ports the entire game to the FO2 engine with all its QoL improvements. However the infinite money trick in the Hub doesn't work with the new gambling mechanics from 2. Gambling is a useless skill in 2. You need 100+ to ensure you win the slots but they have limited money.
@@AgusSkywalker Yeah they nerfed it too hard, but it's still usable. It's the easiest way of getting 100k for advanced implants late game if you don't want to farm bootleggers caves.
@@1thevm1 yeah, but in FO1 you only needed around 60%, in FO2 you need over 100%, that's 2-3 more levels wasted on that. And you can't use it everywhere. Only Redding and New Reno, because in The Den for example you have the craps tables that aren't affected by luck.
@@AgusSkywalker Yea but you can still annihilate the Den gun merchants and the Slavers guild with little guilt or impact on anyone's opinion, and take over Lara's gangs hideout to store it all till you can sell if off or get the car. Though thats a trip to Gecko regardless.
We had a really scuffed DnD setup in highschool. Our DM was the supervisor at KFC so he took lots of containers and cups of various sizes to use as buildings on our board. We also used Lego figures for our characters and enemies.
There are dedicated sidequests, they appear in your pip-boy. Killing the scorpions is one of them, you get a bunch of xp for completing it and I think Aradesh gives you some kind of reward as well
Fallout 1 and 2 were some of my first ever PC games, my dad had it on our family PC growing up and I was obsessed with it. Replayed it again recently since the show came out and it's just as dark and entertaining as ever
You got this old man good, definitely watching the full streams after this! It just gives me so much joy to see people experience these classics for the first time and see that some of what wowed me ages ago is still a fun experience today.
Hey Kelski, regarding your plans for Fallout New Vegas: FONV is pretty much a direct sequel to Fallout 2 (which is a direct sequel to Fallout 1). While you can (and will) enjoy FONV on its own, you get a lot more out of it if you know where some of the characters and factions are coming from. So I'd recommend you playing Fallout 1 and 2, if not before New Vegas, then maybe concurrently, alternating between 2D and 3D. Even if you do it on your own time, off-stream. (FO3 not required as it takes place on the east coast instead of the west coast.) Either way, love your content, stay awesome!
Since the show came out it has been so much fun watching the younger generation discover a game I loved as a kid. I have never felt older and I'm loving it
Oh man that manual was gorgeous. I ended up getting fallout while on a class trip to DC, bunch of other kids were into fallout, spent a lot of my free time poring over the manual which was genuinely entertaining to read because it just built so much lore up on its own. Was great when 3 came out, when I realized I'd stood in the same spot in real life as I was in-game at the national library.
I believe you're playing the Steam Version. It removed children NPCs(and thus the Childkiller perk) and made the game easier by removing the second time-limit. In Fallout 1 it's not a big deal, but 2 got censored hard and it causes problems, I'd play the CD version for 2. Or play Tactics first.
I believe you can just mod it back in. However, as you said, it's only impactful in Fallout 2. Fallout 1 doesn't suffer from this in any meaningful way.
@@enricofermi3471 It can actually make using the Red Ryder a lot harder as all the kids in Shady Sands have BB guns with ammo and that's easily the best source
yea there's a guy named Torr in Klamath that normally speaks in very broken english. But when you meet him with 1 int, you exchange grunts with very intellectual dialogue in parenthesis
A friend borrowed me a CD with the demo. I played the mini story (location: JunkTown) for hours and fell in love with it, so in a few days, I had a copy of the full game!! And even played it for the 6th time about a year ago! 😉
I recently got on a Fallout binge myself after watching the show. I've beaten Fallout 1 before, but it still holds up really well on replays. It's great seeing a video like this that gives it that modern but positive POV.
If you were enoying the 1INT run on Fallout you'd LOVE a Malkavian run in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines if you haven't done that yet! This is my first video of yours ever but I'll sub just in case that ever happens (also for the hilarious death image montage throughout this video lol)
Definitely need more of these. Fallout 1 is easily the one I've spent the most time on. Fallout 2 was an upgrade in most ways but kinda fell apart near the end because the devs ran out of time (think KOTOR 2 with jank and missing stuff - I never even finished the game because it kept crashing on the final level). Definitely worth a try if you haven't had the chance yet.
I personally like fallout 2, if you do make a follow-up of this series, wait till you fight “frank horrigan” he’s a great boss!(sorry for the spoilers)
I have a soft spot for Fallout: A Post-Nuclear Roleplaying Game cause I am old enough that it was the one to pop my Fallout cherry. Always glad to see someone experience it. Really glad when someone recognizes that the parts that make it rough around the edges, that make it clunky, the design choices that are intentionally not designed for new players? Are also the things that make it awesome.
For anyone wanting to experience Fallout 1 i highly recommend 2 mods: Fallout Fixt and Fallout Et Tu. The later ports Fallout 1 into Fallout's 2 engine with many upgrades, QoL fixes etc.
honestly, I miss these kind of games. Sure, at some points I had to look up for clues on the Internet, but I just hate in modern games that I can be anything at anytime without any repercussion
In Fallout 3, I killed my first Deathclaw around level 5 or so. In New Vegas, I managed it at 15. In Fallout 1, I didn't dare fight the first Deathclaw until level 20, when I could reliably crit both its legs and its eyes before it could rush across the map and disembowel me. Edit: My character was a pistol person, and I used the .223 Pistol religiously. 18:45 You gotta talk to Aradesh to get a reward. 🤣 Yes, it's very old school in how you approach quests. Aradesh asks you for scorpion tails to make medicine, and that's your main reason for doing it.
You can also just look up a channel with guide videos for Fallout 1 and 2. There are a couple of good ones that are extremely helpful for new players and not that long.
@@russianoverkill3715 Most new players never play F1 for more than a few minutes, because the dated UI and menu turns them away, that's the point of some these beginner guides with tips, that is not same thing as a walkthrough.
17:40 "Options you have for the conversations impressed me...I was expecting some basic stuff since this game is old" Dude definitely doesn't know much about the older games. : ))) It is not surprising given that modern standards are: 1. I will do that. 2. I don't like it but still gonna do that. 3. Sarcasm
You nailed what made 1, 2 and New Vegas so great in that the world feels like it exists without you. It doesn't bend over to offer you quests for alligator butts and ultimately getting to know these characters and world feels much more rewarding.
18:40 the ncr loves saying stuff like this to you even ranger ghost from fallout new vegas mocking their lines: "The pay? The pay is a good goddamn thanks from the heart of the republic!"
If you're digging the surprise for how advanced and interactive some older cRPGs' worlds are, don't miss "Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura", from the same core group of developers of OG Fallout (and I mean the same people, not the same company... long story about that, and a relevant part of video-game History too!). Thanks for your videos!
There are rewards for the radscorpion quest and there are actual side quests in the game lol. There is loot in the cave that you get and you also get a bunch of XP and some reputation with the settlement for completing it, depending on how you handled it. You also can finish it without killing the scorpions by using your handy dynamite to collapse the cave entrance for less reward. The side quest system in this game is subtle as fuck lmao, like most of its features. Love to see new people playing it though, these old games deserve the love you gave them throughout this video.
Been interested in dipping a toe in the fallout series and, while I have Fallout 4 already thanks to PS+, the first game seems far more interesting. It’s just about getting over that wall of dealing with how old some of the systems are and facing how brutal bad luck can be. This was a great video at making that wall seem surmountable
These are such good games but don’t be ashamed to use a guide a lot. If you haven’t played 3 or NV, they would definitely be more entry level to this than fallout 4 is lol. You should give them a shot!
Fallout 1 and 2 were such huge parts of my teen years. I adore this game, and the idea of new players discovering them also makes me happy. I wish they could be remastered, though.
Besides better writing, (than all but perhaps New Vegas) the real star of Fallout 1&2 is how it allows you to play the games however you want. You can do stealth or peaceful runs where you kill almost nothing, or you can go around and wipe out towns. The games don't hold your hand, they just let you run free in the world the devs created.
As a 26 yr old who had their nostalgic run through the classic fallouts a few years ago, I have to say, you’ve embarked upon a wonderful journey that is truly timeless. Some people neg it for its rushed issues but if you can get the fan patch for fallout 2 to fix the breaking bugs, it’s just a completely amplified experience of fallout 1. Everything you love about it cranked up to 10
I remember the first time I played Fallout back when it first came out. I get out of the vault and I find a cave that had a bottle of Nuka-Cola. I drink the Nuka-Cola and became an addict. I fell in love with the franchise right then and there. 10 minutes in and I get an addiction. I loved it. I died and had to start over, but loved it none the less. I didn't get very far anyway lol.
15:32 part of why i love fallout games (and to a lesser extent, rpgs in general) so much is that fact specifically. You start off as just a normal guy, maybe a bit better than others, but still pretty weak in the grand scheme of things, yet as you go on your journey you BECOME that chosen one, you become more powerful and slowly reach pure legendary status.
Also, about Radscorpions. You are in a dark cave. Your ranged attacks get penalty. At this point you should have like 10 flares. Use them! Dont forget to light it up before throwing and don't light whole stack by accident. They last about 2 hours.
Fallout 1 & 2 are still some of the best RPG experience you can get on PC. Gameplay is clunky but the system is pretty deep and there's lots of funny interactions (during quests or with the world) to experience indeed. But what sets it apart is definitely the tone, the writing, and that legendary soundtrack by Mark Morgan!

Suddenly everyone is interested in playing Fallout 1, this almost 30-year old game, and that's the greatest thing I'd say happened this year.
Slow down there buddy, I ain't almost 30 yet
It had such good storytelling especially if you grew up during the cold war. Imagine if you could get on a tour bus, ride into the desert and watch a nuclear bomb go off. Radiation King baby :)
Yeah people are like oh wait I mean where did this fantastic setting and Mood that are implied in this shitty game im playing even from? Oh games used to be actually good and it doesn't matter the graphics it's the writing and the brutality and without the hand holding that matters for a good game holy shit who knew
Bethesda is a cancer upon gaming culture. Younger generations simply will never know about the Majesty of true gaming, when games were niche entertainment even in the late 90s. They will never get to experience actually true gaming, because games have become so commodified that they are basically just the same shitty Marvel movies that they see in theaters and pay money for it and think it's the best shit ever without even realizing but it's all derivative cheap ass bullshit and that there is true art to be had because capitalism has just consumed everything of worth in society
@@anarchy_79 This has all been said before. I'm sorry that pixels and dialog can get you so angry. I hope you're able to move on with your life.
15:00 I remember playing Fallout 2 and critically missing a shotgun shot. The message read something like "You critically miss a Raider. The shotgun blows up in your hand, destroying your arm and killing you on the spot. You were hit for 250 hit points." and my character played that "half of your torso gets vaporized" animation.
21:25 Killian is actually modelled after and voiced by Richard Dean Anderson. Ya know, McGuyver or Jack O'Neill from Stargate.
Wtf bro this is crazy
@@lonelyincorporated1583 Yeah, shit's so surreal I couldn't even be mad.
@@LecherousLizard I kinda want fallout 2 because of this
The voice cast in these games is actually surprisingly star-studded. Like for instance, in addition to Anderson, Fallout 1 has Clancy Brown, Keith David and Tony Shalhoub. Not to mention Ron Perlman being the narrator in all of them up to New Vegas.
New Vegas is the craziest though, game starts with fucking Matthew Perry shooting you in the head.
@@lonelyincorporated1583 So this one time I was in the Den. I accidentally pissed off someone and ran away from them. They tried to shoot me, but critically missed and hit a member of another faction. This turned her and all her guards hostile. During the fire fight someone hit a random casino patron with a stray bullet. the entire town went completely hostile. Everyone was fighting everyone else, and even the orphans got gunned down. By the end, I think 20 people were dead.
You critically hit for 0 damage
10/10 best game
Yeah, seemed weird to me too, back in the days. XD
Today I´m a bit more in the game-mecchanics as I were as a child and it makes more sense to me now.
A critical hit could, in addition to only dealing damage, also cripple the bodypart you´re aiming at.
And sometimes it can happen that you cripple a bodypart without dealing damage.
Also the part with the -16% chance at aiming and hit.
The game-mechanics say that a roll of 20 on a d20 (yes. the game rolls a twenty sided dice hidden in the background for skill-checks. Hilarious^^) is always a critical success agaist all odds.
For me a 10/10 too!
happens if you hit a guy in armor
fo1 and 2 have a interesting armor system where its both a damage treshold AND a resistance
@@czarnakoza9697 Even Fallout 3 and NV have DR and DT. NV just doesn't use DR except for one piece of equipment (iirc the rebreather) and even that due to a mistake.
It was a very solid logic . Even if you find some critical spot , you might not be able damage it . Carapace , power armor etc . Fallout world was tough XD
@@ErdeZ 3 uses dr
nv uses dt
1 and 2 uses both at the same time
The creator, Tim Cain, has a lot of interesting stories about the development of Fallout 1 and 2. Also how the CEO screwed him and everyone else over. CEOs never change.
If CEOs never change.. Employees must change

I’m glad I can make a game like this still entertaining haha
@@kel_ski I have to tell you something
It's called porn.
Staged and not real.
A few really important things to note about this game that I love, 1: the game goes on with or without you, theres a set schedule for certain events to happen in the game, and if you arent there by the time they happen, you can actually miss out on a lot of context in the games, such as the events of necropolis. 2: Theres a lot of weird item interactions that you can do in the game that are really fun, like after setting the timer for a bomb you can pickpocket the bomb into someones inventory to blow them up. And 3: if you know where to go, and how to do the correct setup, you can beat this game at level 1, never fighting anything, and do it in like 10 minutes, its freaking hilarious
Fallout 1 was originally going to use the GURPS role-playing system from Steve Jackson Games, but the deal fell through. This explains your "Critical hit for 0 damage" incident. GURPS combat consists of: (1) Your attack, (2) opponent's dodge, and (3) opponents damage mitigation. You attempt to hit was a critical success, but because you were using a low damage attack (fists) you didn't penetrate the radscorpion's armour. The crit. would have applied a multiplier to any damage that did successfully penetrate.
If I remember correctly, the damage calculation is done in such a way that everything is done before subtracting the DT from damage
So, you roll for hit, then you roll for damage, multiply that by your weapon modifiers (see AP 10mm dealing half the damage or the FMJ .223 dealing 10% more) and your enemy's DR, roll for critical hit, roll on the crit table (from instakill to cripple+knockout to knockout to knock over to beeg damage to big damage(depends on the body part + there's some DR and DT ignoring shenanigans)) then subtract the DT and add your DT mitigation coming from the ammo type
I don't remember the exact crit damage modifiers, but here's the picture:
You roll successfully for your hit. You roll for 9 damage. You have 10mm ammo so you do 1,5 of that, dealing 13,5 dmg, rounding up it is now 14 damage. Your enemy's DR is 50%, so they take 7 damage. You successfully roll for crit, landing on the smallest amount of damage done, meaning you do, let's say, 50% more, meaning you do 11 dmg rounded up. Then, you take your enemy's 6 DT into consideration, multiply that by 2 since you're shooting 10mm and now you've got 11 damage and 12 DT. Voila! Zero damage critical.
damn, fallout 1 is another one of those games that are old but amazing and i love it
@damsen978 Well they wanted that younger audience appeal, but tbh they still keep it quite grim at times. And if you want more of it's type, Underrail is basically a spiritual successor to Fallout 1&2. If you need more info or convincing, Sseth made a wonderful vid on it.

90's cRPG (Fallouts, BGs, etc) were made for us - gamers - to have FUN. I finished Fallout1 & 2 couple dozen times and everytime i had different experience, different dialogues and new quests were unlocked based on your character build and reputation. It was pure exploration extravaganza.

Speaking of quests, in Fallout 2 some of them allow you to negotiate the terms of your reward to the point of stripping the quest giver naked, sometimes literally. For instance, there's a woman who asks you to bail out her husband, and if you're a really scummy dude, you can demand that she sleeps with you right in front of her family, and since she has no choice, she'll do it, cursing and swearing at you the whole time. It's great.

The alien oneshot pistol brings back memories.. i remember secretly playing this game as a kid on my dad's computer.
I found that pistol and used it as an absolute crutch for as long as it lasted.

@@boxcast7470based reply, will do 🙏

Alright, here are some tips for new players:
1.) Difficulty - If you actually want to have fun in the first two games, go into Preferences, set the game speed to max, and set both difficulty options (yes there are two separate difficulty options) to low. There is no shame in this, the game will still kick your ass.
2.) Infinite money - As soon as you find the hub (and you have yourself at least 6 luck), go and find the casino. You are going to one of the tables, saving your game, and then pressing and holding down the 5 key, and then (also) the 1 key. These two will rapidly choose the options “bet $50”, the highest bet amount, and “bet again”. If your IRL luck and in-game luck is decent enough, within 15 IRL minutes, you’ll have won enough caps to buy whatever you want for the rest of the game.
3.) Increasing SPECIAL stats - First, during character creation, get the Intense training perk. Less xp is worth it for more SPECIAL stats. Next, never get any stat to 10 during character creation, and specifically leave strength at 6, and both intelligence and luck at 8, if you want to eventually max those three out. - In the game, becoming a brotherhood of steel member means that you can purchase singular upgrades to strength, perception, endurance, intelligence, and agility. - Now, by abusing the game’s mechanics, it’s actually possible to buy an intelligence upgrade twice. By taking like 4 or 5 mentats at once, and then waiting a day, this will cause your intelligence to fall to 2 or lower, which will give you the dumbass speech that was shown off in this video. This will allow you to buy a second int upgrade, as the dumb dialogue has a separate check for if you already got an int upgrade. - Going back to strength, the reason you want to keep it at 6, even though this will unfortunately be a huge handicap in the early game until you can get the strong back and pack rat perks, is that you can increase strength by +1 with the brotherhood, and then power armor also gives you +3 strength. - As for luck, this one is a bit trickier. You have to find Chuck in the boneyards. He will read your fortune, and this will increase your luck by +1. However, by following a VERY specific set of dialogue options with him, you can glitch the game, and get +2 luck. I highly recommend looking up the walkthrough on how to do this, I always find it hard to remember, myself.
4.) Radiation - Radiation in Fallout 1 and 2 is absolutely no joke. And in order to join the brotherhood and get the upgrades and power armor, you need to enter the most radiated area of Fallout 1, the glow. Rad x and Radaway are ESSENTIAL for entering this area, and you need to constantly make sure you are at the max level of radiation resistance. - How radiation kills you in these early games is different than you’d expect. Getting radiation sickness means that all of your SPECIAL stats will take a random debuff, and if any of your SPECIAL stats become 0 or lower because of this, it means instant death, which can absolutely soft-lock your game if you’re being stupid. If you’re radiation free, or at least not suffering from radiation sickness when you finish in the glow, you should be fine to just leave and get your rewards from the brotherhood.
5.) Saving - Save often, and save in different save slots. Have a different save for every location you find. Have a separate save slot for when you’re just wandering around. You have about 10 save slots, use all of them. You will mess up and not realize it, so it’s always good to only have to reset about an hour of progress, rather than 3 hours.
6.) Fallout 2 - Download and install the Restoration Project patch.
Last time I replayed FO1 I used the Fallout Et Tu mod that ports the entire game to the FO2 engine with all its QoL improvements. However the infinite money trick in the Hub doesn't work with the new gambling mechanics from 2. Gambling is a useless skill in 2. You need 100+ to ensure you win the slots but they have limited money.
@@AgusSkywalker Yeah they nerfed it too hard, but it's still usable. It's the easiest way of getting 100k for advanced implants late game if you don't want to farm bootleggers caves.
@@1thevm1 yeah, but in FO1 you only needed around 60%, in FO2 you need over 100%, that's 2-3 more levels wasted on that.
And you can't use it everywhere. Only Redding and New Reno, because in The Den for example you have the craps tables that aren't affected by luck.
Thank you so much bro. This is such amazing advice.
@@AgusSkywalker Yea but you can still annihilate the Den gun merchants and the Slavers guild with little guilt or impact on anyone's opinion, and take over Lara's gangs hideout to store it all till you can sell if off or get the car. Though thats a trip to Gecko regardless.

There are dedicated sidequests, they appear in your pip-boy. Killing the scorpions is one of them, you get a bunch of xp for completing it and I think Aradesh gives you some kind of reward as well

Fallout 1 and 2 were some of my first ever PC games, my dad had it on our family PC growing up and I was obsessed with it. Replayed it again recently since the show came out and it's just as dark and entertaining as ever
The best way to describe Fallout 1 and 2 to new players, is that they’re (pre-telltale) point and click adventure games, just with combat.
Thank you for the parentheses. This distincion is very important to me.

You got this old man good, definitely watching the full streams after this!
It just gives me so much joy to see people experience these classics for the first time and see that some of what wowed me ages ago is still a fun experience today.
Hey Kelski, regarding your plans for Fallout New Vegas:
FONV is pretty much a direct sequel to Fallout 2 (which is a direct sequel to Fallout 1).
While you can (and will) enjoy FONV on its own, you get a lot more out of it if you know where some of the characters and factions are coming from.
So I'd recommend you playing Fallout 1 and 2, if not before New Vegas, then maybe concurrently, alternating between 2D and 3D. Even if you do it on your own time, off-stream. (FO3 not required as it takes place on the east coast instead of the west coast.)
Either way, love your content, stay awesome!
I've got to second this, after all, you've gone through first Fallout, why not second Fallout?

Oh man that manual was gorgeous. I ended up getting fallout while on a class trip to DC, bunch of other kids were into fallout, spent a lot of my free time poring over the manual which was genuinely entertaining to read because it just built so much lore up on its own. Was great when 3 came out, when I realized I'd stood in the same spot in real life as I was in-game at the national library.

I believe you're playing the Steam Version. It removed children NPCs(and thus the Childkiller perk) and made the game easier by removing the second time-limit.
In Fallout 1 it's not a big deal, but 2 got censored hard and it causes problems, I'd play the CD version for 2. Or play Tactics first.
I believe you can just mod it back in. However, as you said, it's only impactful in Fallout 2. Fallout 1 doesn't suffer from this in any meaningful way.

Definitely need more of these.
Fallout 1 is easily the one I've spent the most time on. Fallout 2 was an upgrade in most ways but kinda fell apart near the end because the devs ran out of time (think KOTOR 2 with jank and missing stuff - I never even finished the game because it kept crashing on the final level). Definitely worth a try if you haven't had the chance yet.

honestly, I miss these kind of games. Sure, at some points I had to look up for clues on the Internet, but I just hate in modern games that I can be anything at anytime without any repercussion
In Fallout 3, I killed my first Deathclaw around level 5 or so. In New Vegas, I managed it at 15.
In Fallout 1, I didn't dare fight the first Deathclaw until level 20, when I could reliably crit both its legs and its eyes before it could rush across the map and disembowel me.
Edit: My character was a pistol person, and I used the .223 Pistol religiously.

There are rewards for the radscorpion quest and there are actual side quests in the game lol. There is loot in the cave that you get and you also get a bunch of XP and some reputation with the settlement for completing it, depending on how you handled it. You also can finish it without killing the scorpions by using your handy dynamite to collapse the cave entrance for less reward.
The side quest system in this game is subtle as fuck lmao, like most of its features.

Fallout: New Vegas uses a bunch of the audio tracks from this game, such a lovely touch.
Been interested in dipping a toe in the fallout series and, while I have Fallout 4 already thanks to PS+, the first game seems far more interesting. It’s just about getting over that wall of dealing with how old some of the systems are and facing how brutal bad luck can be. This was a great video at making that wall seem surmountable
These are such good games but don’t be ashamed to use a guide a lot.
If you haven’t played 3 or NV, they would definitely be more entry level to this than fallout 4 is lol. You should give them a shot!
my personal reccomendation if you cant take A LOT of annoyance without getting mad/whatever dont play this game
Fallout 1 and 2 were such huge parts of my teen years. I adore this game, and the idea of new players discovering them also makes me happy. I wish they could be remastered, though.
Besides better writing, (than all but perhaps New Vegas) the real star of Fallout 1&2 is how it allows you to play the games however you want. You can do stealth or peaceful runs where you kill almost nothing, or you can go around and wipe out towns. The games don't hold your hand, they just let you run free in the world the devs created.
As a 26 yr old who had their nostalgic run through the classic fallouts a few years ago, I have to say, you’ve embarked upon a wonderful journey that is truly timeless. Some people neg it for its rushed issues but if you can get the fan patch for fallout 2 to fix the breaking bugs, it’s just a completely amplified experience of fallout 1. Everything you love about it cranked up to 10
I remember the first time I played Fallout back when it first came out. I get out of the vault and I find a cave that had a bottle of Nuka-Cola. I drink the Nuka-Cola and became an addict. I fell in love with the franchise right then and there. 10 minutes in and I get an addiction. I loved it. I died and had to start over, but loved it none the less. I didn't get very far anyway lol.
15:32 part of why i love fallout games (and to a lesser extent, rpgs in general) so much is that fact specifically. You start off as just a normal guy, maybe a bit better than others, but still pretty weak in the grand scheme of things, yet as you go on your journey you BECOME that chosen one, you become more powerful and slowly reach pure legendary status.
Also, about Radscorpions. You are in a dark cave. Your ranged attacks get penalty. At this point you should have like 10 flares. Use them! Dont forget to light it up before throwing and don't light whole stack by accident. They last about 2 hours.
Fallout 1 & 2 are still some of the best RPG experience you can get on PC. Gameplay is clunky but the system is pretty deep and there's lots of funny interactions (during quests or with the world) to experience indeed. But what sets it apart is definitely the tone, the writing, and that legendary soundtrack by Mark Morgan!
