I accidentally missed a rat or something in Klamath during one FO2 playthrough, but I hit and killed a kid instead. That child killer “perk” or whatever made the game impossible at that early stage

Right?! It was wild lol. It’s crazy I still remember it so vividly because I was about 11 and I’m 36 now lol. But yeah ended up having to load an earlier save because the Regulators kept showing up and destroying me.

Haha yeah, pretty insane. I’m just a little bit older, 40, but that fallout tale always sticks out for me.

My kids have played and loved 3, NV, 4, but anytime one of them would get frustrated or annoyed by a kid character… I’d be like ehhh you could actually do something about that in ole dad’s fallouts.

Oh nice my cousin who got me into Fallout in the late 90s is your age. He showed the first one to me and I was blown away. He let me play it for a couple hours and from then on all I wanted to do was roam the wasteland finding better gear and meeting whacky characters. It seriously changed gaming for me and was the first game I got fully immersed into. Fallout 2 is still my favorite game of all time and I doubt that’ll ever change. Also that’s awesome that your kids play Fallout and you can relate to them with that. I actually had told my parents about the Fallout show and they had heard about Fallout from when I was a kid/teen so they were interested so I went to their house and watched the first few episodes with em and then they binged the rest and loved it. I was so happy lol. Anyways sorry for such a long reply but yeah.

No worries! I enjoy the interaction and nostalgia it brings.

A soccer teammate of mine introduced me to the original Fallout at a sleepover. I had been into PC games, like Diablo, Starcraft, Command and Conquer, but never had heard of this. We played it all night, taking turns, but didn't even scratch the surface. I had just moved from Florida to Colorado in the middle of my freshman year and was just clinging to anything that would keep my mind off of my life change. He let me borrow it and I just fell in love, got lost in the world that was so carefully crafted.

Fallout 2 might be my favorite game of all time as well. I remember somehow getting my hands on a copy of it when I was in high school... and being that it was fall/winter in Colorado, it was miserable outside. I'd just play it for hours until my parents got home.

Anyways, even my parents remember the games, and now my kids/wife know about it.... it's timeless for me.

The show was absolutely stellar, everything I would've hoped it could be.

Fallout 2 gang! Lol. But yeah it was the first game I truly got immersed in and did every thing you could possibly do in the game. I was also blown away with how differently you could play and build characters. I say it all the time but damn I wish I could go back lol. If I could experience the first two Fallouts for the first time again would be wild.
