my favorite part is when FO3 and beyond players go back to 2 or 1 and see how different it is and quit.

Despite FO2 being the best one of them all

I admit that the games are really hard to get into, but not because they're a different aesthetic than the Bethesda Fallout games. The technical limitations of the resolution and the UI are really bad if you don't mod, and aren't perfect even when you do mod. It's why I like remastered versions of old games, because they modernize them to contemporary levels. 800x600 was considered top of the line back when Fallout was released. >____>

Fallout 1 and 2 have awesome UIs. Better than 4's which is literally just green bars on the screen.

Yes they do, but they still have an aspect ratio reliant on 4:3. It requires extra modding and fiddling with your hardware settings to get it to display in any decent capacity.

My struggle with the old games has nothing at all to do with resolution or graphics in any way.

It's the fact that I'm not a big fan of that style of gameplay. Isometric turn-based strategy RPGs have never been my thing. But it's free, so that's enough incentive to at least download it and give it a proper shot. Worst case scenario I don't enjoy it and just uninstall.

FO1&2 are freakin awesome games. Played them both for the first time a few years ago, and once you get over the initial learning curve, wow, are they good! The toughest part is learning the rulesets and mechanics of the game. These games are from a time where the instruction manuals were 100+ pages, and they expect the player to read through it before playing.

To anyone that's never played Fallout 1, I'd highly recommend giving it a shot if you're in the least bit interested. Just have to RTFM before you start or maybe take a look through some guides or topics for advice, but FO1/2 are some of the best games that I've played.

For anyone playing this game for the first time, pressing F1 gives you the full controls of the game.

I will say the controls are not intuitive, but you get used to them relatively quickly.

Fallout 1 and 2 are the type of CRPGs that are legitimate jewels of a genre that barely puts out anything of worth these days (barring the recent Original Sin 2), and I didn't play those two games until after I had put dozens of hours into Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

Ive tried to get into the older Fallouts but they are so goddamned dated I just couldn't. It was a chore to play through.

I can play Baldurs Gate fine (which came out around similar times I think?) so to me it just feels fallout has dated terribly sadly :/

Yup. I mean, that is pretty dated as well. But it didnt feel nearly as bad as Fallout. But the fact I played it at the time could be why I can tolerate it >.>

Haha, that's probably it. Neither game's aged well graphics/UI wise but that's the kind of thing you can overlook if you've already got fond memories from playing it originally, I think.
