Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game

Buona storia e personaggi, meno è il gameplay, la progressione e le armi (ho 100h perché ho tenuto il pc acceso per sbaglio più di una volta)

This game is too old, too scuffed, too buggy, too cringe.

The story is strong: On October 27, 2077 AD, a nuclear war broke out and wiped out most of the world's population within a day. The destruction caused the accidental release of an experimental Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV) which has reacted with the radioactive fallout to cause widespread mutation. You have survived the 20 years since in a Vault-Tec Experimental Fallout Shelter. But the vault's water purification has become non-servicable, and you have been chosen to find a replacement, or at least a new source of potable water. Out there. In the now radioactive wastes. The gameplay is solid: Combat is turnbased. The combat system uses a percentile "To Hit" system based on factors such as distance, lighting, and weapon skill. Damage from weapons is then calculated and reduced by the targets armor based on damage type; ex. you shoot the enemy with a .223 hunting rifle causing 20 dam. they are wearing combat armor which has a Normal (as opposed to laser, plasma, explosive, etc) Damage protection of 40%/5 meaning it reduces the damage by 40% then by an additional 5 pts. So you do 7 dam to your enemy (20-(0.4x20)-5). This gives you a real feel for the protective qualities of armor as the difference between a leather jacket (20%/0) and Hardened Power Armor (50%/13) are huge. Atmosphere is without equal. As soon as you leave the Vault you are attacked by rats THIS BIG. And they only get bigger. But the rats are small compared to the bugs. The wasteland is barren, but some humans have managed to survive. None are thriving though, as it is a constant battle for survival against mutants, and of course, humans. Raiders and unscrupulous politicians. The worst of the worst kinds of people. In terms of roleplaying it's still one of the best games out there. The character system is deep but not overly complicated. Stats affect skills and certain elements of gameplay (such as dialogue). You gain a number of skill points per lvl as a base amount increased by Intelligence. You can choose 0-2 unique Perks at character creation. You also gain special Feats every 3 lvls (or 4 lvls depending on the Perk you choose). Many of the game dialogues allow you to choose good/evil options (this was unique back when the game was made). But it lacks content. You could easily finish it over a relaxed weekend. There are a few bugs. Only one is game breaking though. It involves a specific dialogue loop when turning in the final quest for the Brotherhood of Steel. As long as you don't use the specific dialogue path you'll be fine though.
