— How did you manage to escape?
— I didn’t escape. I was killed... I love this joke.
Do you know role-playing games better than the original Fallouts? I haven't personally met anyone like this. This post-apocalyptic atmosphere, in the spirit of the original "Mad Max", Vaults, super mutants, local cities, the Creator! I think the game is a great game even in today's realities.
By the way, I completed the first and second parts of Fallout for the first time in 2016. And therefore, nostalgic feelings can in any way affect my impressions of the game.
And my acquaintance with the Fallout universe began with the third and New Vegas. This is where my love for this series of games began. Later there was a release of the fourth part, which inspired me to get acquainted with the beginning of the series.
However, when I started the game for the first time, I literally could not understand anything: neither the combat mechanics, nor how to complete quests, nor the plot. All information is in text, there are no markers on quests, it’s creepy! But, in fact, after 2 hours, I began to get used to what was happening: I got armor, weapons, and began to navigate the tasks. From that moment on, the game really shone in my eyes.
The plot and characters opened up for me, I was imbued with the local atmosphere. And these random meetings! So many great references! I would not like to dwell on the plot or characters, since in my opinion, you need to experience it all yourself. I believe that any RPG fan should familiarize themselves with the classic parts of Fallout. This is an unforgettable adventure in the world of post-apocalypse.
And every hour I wanted to stay in this world as long as possible. And at this point, perhaps the main drawback of this part was revealed - the game is prohibitively short! 12-20 hours, no more. However, there are no problems, because immediately after it comes the second part, even richer, longer and more fun!
As a result, the entire Fallout series has become one of my favorite games, probably I, as a devoted fan, may unconsciously not notice the shortcomings and be too biased in my assessments, but this does not make the game worse, since I’m not I consider it a kind of standard of role-playing games.
