    📖 Bytes of Game Ads 📺 The one-two punch of Baldur's Gate and Fallout 2 in late '98. With Black Isle and BioWare at the helm, Interplay would deliver two of my favourite CRPG experiences. Baldur's Gate especially has a special place in my heart. 💜 📺: Dragon Magazine, October 1998

    Like, there's a visceral 'realness' to the version of Fallout 2 that played out in my head that is completely absent in the Bethesda Fallouts because things are simply rendered in a way that feels more like a tabletop game map than a literal world meant to be taken verbatim.

    The NCR is an imperial power dead set on recreating the mistakes of the Old World. However, it is also something that Ceaser's Legion is not: A stable nation state that can *change.* This is more communicated by seeing the game as it exists in conversation with Fallout 2, but it's there!

    The "evil route" in this game is like if Fallout 2 allowed you join the Enclave, subdue all the cities & factions, then decide if you serve the President or kill him and take his place. It's so fun! Again, really wish more people played & discussed these games... they do so many interesting things.

  • The Transfeminine Review @thetransfemininereview.comBluesky · Jan 2, 2026

    Like it's especially infuriating because both Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas took at least a neutral ending from the game before and made it canon. The Fallout show seems committed to making the most evil nihilistic playthrough of FNV canon. And it *sucks.* Cause I sure didn't choose that.

    Fallout 2 was released only one year after the first game, though that didn't stop it from being a major improvement in many ways. More focus on allies, some substantial rebalancing, a more in-depth story and in general just more content - it's about 4 or 5 times as large as the original game.

    I want to play a cool video game that's 1: Sorta like Fallout. 2: Has significant building and farm sim parts 3: Romancing, even a touch naughty. 4: Creatives never forced to crunch 5: Creatives share in success & revenue 6: Creatives encouraged into smaller "pet projects" until next big release.

    The pitch started out because I went "I would like to make an RPG that surpasses Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and Fallout 2, but it needs to actually feel good as hell to play" and we made a world and narrative and some game design shit that's... gonna do WEIRD shit to your brain. :)

    "He said the team believed they were following the structure of earlier entries in the series, where completing the story concluded the game." how the fuck can Bethesda be so ignorant of Fallout 2 when Fallout 3 is all "hey, remember all this stuff from Fallout 2 that makes zero sense over here?"

    Fallout 2 is an extremely good game but also oof ow ouch the early game difficulty curve is rough. OTOH starting as a gal with a spear in a world of SMGs does make you feel awesome once you can finally survive one (1) random encounter without hearing the dulcet tones of the game over narration.

    TBF I’d forgive any of Fallout 2’s flaws because it was the only game I knew of that had a side quest that was built around sucking dick (well fluffing but still). Much like with Arsenal and the rainbow laces campaign I’m a sucker for queer adjacent stuff from my teens & 20’s.
