What about fallout 2? I was always put off by the graphics in the first two games, if the first Fallout is as good as you say I think I should give it a try.
Yes also fallout 2 was a good game as well but i like originals as this is the original creative spark, fallout 2 was lower effort story wise as they already had the whole world created, much much less creativity, everything already done the concept, the art style, the influences the main creatures and history.
All that is needed is to tweak a few areas, a few different characters, a different plot but on the same theme, same environments, same concept.
For me experiencing a game is experiencing a new and fresh idea and concept, a new creative plot in a new world with new characters and new design and influences, if you have a sequel a lot of repitition exists within the lore and the design and the "world", the creative prrocess is diminished and its artistic value is GREATLY DIMINISHED.
SEE A LOT OF NECK BERDS SPERGING OUT ON THE SAME FRANCHISE SEQUEL AFTER SEQUEL FOR DETAILS, ITS PURE SPERG GETTING ENTANGLED IN THE LORE NOT FOR ITS ARTISTIC VALUE OR TO LEARN, ITS JUST PURE AUTISM REPEATING THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH A SLIGHT TWIST. WHERE THE FRANCHISE DONT INVENT ANYTHING NEW GAME AFTER GAME, SPERGING OUT ON THE SAME CONCEPT SEE ELDER SCROLLS OBLIVION, SKYRIM.
