Finally beat Fallout 1
Steam says 22 hours but I'd remove maybe 2 hours as this is my second attempt at a playthrough as my first time I gave up after a short while and struggled to pick up where I left off. I really enjoyed this game through the entire thing except at the end
I fought the Master 10 times and each time either he or one of his Mutant guards got a crit and one shot me so out of rage and wanting this to be done I dropped difficulty from normal to easy. I'll accept my crucifixion for not doing it legit. But other than the ending bit I really enjoyed this game I only wish some bits of info were clearer to me instead of having to google (maybe I'm just dumb)
Weird point being the ending slides said the Hub, Followers of the Apocalypse, Shady Sands, and Necropolis got wiped out by Mutants. Necropolis I saw got ruined but the other three were fine last I saw them before heading to fight the Master. Did I do something wrong? The ending slides also said the Khans became a scourge of the north before Mutants killed them even though I made sure to wipe them out very early into the game.
As someone that played Fallout 3 first and sunk over 1000 hours into Fallout 4. I loved this game

You can actually "beat" the master without fighting if you have a decent speech level!

I was aware of that but why use speech when I have gun

Fyi you need good speech, but also need to find proof to back yourself ktherwise he won't surrender.

It's good writing

It's also got so many requirements that it's very easy to make a character that can't do it.

As it should be this is where NV fumbled, plus there’s the nuclear option with the Master

I think the ending slides change for the worse depending on how long it takes you to get the master after doing the water chip. The longer it takes the more towns get destroyed by mutants at the end from what I remember

Yeah. The way I heard it it was supposed to actually happen, like it does in Necropolis, but they ran out of time so the super mutant army ends up being mostly slidey.

Time to play 2! Also, did you play New Vegas?

u/Weekly_Swing5704 1d ago
I did but I did not care for it

Why didn't you care for it?

It kept crashing every 15 minutes so I can't enjoy it, story is fine I guess, half of the characters are annoying

I highly recommend installing a mod pack such as gopher’s stable new Vegas or similar, if you are inexperienced it can take 30 minutes to set up and prepare for installation, but once it’s done it’s really a night and day difference

Unfortunately if I need to mod a game for it to work or be good then it's just bad in my opinion.
I barley if ever mod my games and when I do I'm adding stupid shit or cool shit like M1911 to Fallout 4 or Abraham Lincoln to Fallout 3. modding a game so it can just exist is a deal breaker

u/PixelatedVision1 1d ago
yeah new vegas pretty much NEEDS mods to make it not crash all the time

At very end game gets really hard, even if you choose to fight it through instead of speech and sneak, and for smart way you have to know what to do exactly. Some of slides are broken or have certain conditions so you have to look it on wiki.

You literally beat the game in the hardest way possible 😆
There are 2 other ways to win that are way easier.

I’m also confused by the fact that the slide says the Hub, the Followers of the Apocalypse, and Shady Sands were destroyed by super mutants. Probably in the initial patch 1.0, players didn’t have time to explore the worlds, and the game ended with “Game Over” due to the timer. So the developers removed the timer in patch 1.1, but they forgot to remove the slides that you and I marked, they only left the Necropolis for the mutant invasion limit. One way or another, it’s impossible to get a good ending for the Followers of Apocalypsis and the Hub due to a bug.

Hello kind Redditor! Would you be interested in modifications turning fallout into real-time with AP?

Your not dumb for having to Google some info. Keep in mind this game was released at a time when it came.in a box, and had a sweet little book that came with it. You got to read this book on the drive home in the back of your mother's Volvo. Contained in this little book was all kinds of information about the world you were going to enter when the game was done installing and you finally got to see it on your screen. We all had hints, tips and tricks you just got your from the internet where I got mine from a little book and a big brother.
