Fallout 1 released back in 1997 is an isometric RPG experience that still holds up very well in the big year 2024.

Fallout 1 doesn't check Charisma for number of companions. That is an addition of Fallout 2 where you get half of your charisma as max follower count rounded down to the nearest whole number. So 5 charisma on fallout 2 is 2 followers and 1 charisma means you are on your own unless you get some drugs or cool shades to impress someone.
Ohhh okay thanks for clearing this up. I remember reading somewhere that it was also a thing in the first and I didn’t want to start a new save just to check so that’s my bad
@@i4nai it's fine. I only had 2 (layer 3 after talking to a dude) charisma and have all followers. I am almost done with the game I think.
i played a character with 1 charisma with jinxed, because companions is not something you want while you have the jinxed trait. All the critical miss, will drive you up the wall.
The lack of a charisma check is because companions were essentially barely implemented. The mechanic works, but while there are five companions, they only really exist to make the early and mid game a bit easier to handle as you develop your combat stats. By the time you start fighting super mutants, you're likely to spend the rest of the game alone.
"Some of New Vegas" 😢 my brother. That game was sent from God.
I’ve heard it’s amazing but by the time I got around to playing new Vegas I just didn’t have much interest. I was also a lot younger and thought the only way to get out was heading through the strip and I would just die over and over
@@i4nai totally understandable! I hope you give it another go! Would love to hear your opinion
@@InSeshion it would probably be after I get through 2 and 3 since I wanna play all the fallout games in order but I’m gonna get to it eventually
@i4nai skip 3 it's honestly really bad, new Vegas is genuinely one of the best games of its generation
@@johnsmith52153 has a bunch of important story tho
14:00 this ending happens ONLY IF you have the bloody mess perk
As for the dialogue, there are really cool dialogues in the first, second and NV. Bethesda is not particularly good at writing high-quality dialogues (as well as writing high-quality stories, partners, quests, lore...)
This is a really good video man, thought I was watching an established KZheadr till I checked the sub count.
"It's as old as shit." I’m gonna take my 43 year old ass out back and... punk ass kids. 😂😂 Glad this is getting some love from the younger generation. I fell in love with it as a teenager when I downloaded the demo and figured out I could pickpocket a minigun.
14:23 You can actually read through the "Vault Dweller's Memoirs" in the Fallout 2 manual, which gives insight into how impactful the adventure really was for him (shooting the overseer isn't canon, unfortunately)
I think I read some of that after I uploaded this. It’s when it talks about how he had put away the vault suit and everything and gotten married right?
fun fact. you kill the vault overseer when your karma is mid/low, or have specyfic perks. If you are a good guy with high karma, he just walks away.BUT! you have a moment to click the combat button to kill him anyway. Oh oh I am writnig that comment, you just said about that ending kill, nevermind xD
Thanks for the warning I have 2 minutes left
Or if you have "Bloody Mess" perk.
Great video, really like the story telling / hearing about your experience with the games.
Dawg fr barely played the game. “I didn’t do much dialogue” that’s basically the entire game lmao. You missed out hard with the master too, best character in the whole lore.
I did a lot more dialogue in the beginning but by the end I did end up rushing the story a lot more than I originally thought
bro skipped one of the best villians lmao 50iq peak
This video reminds me a lot about first time I played Fallout 1, 15 years ago. It actually motivated me to practice english as a kid (since I am not native speaker), despite of being already dated back then. Still one of my favorite games of all times, though a bit tedious compared to even fallout 2, which I think is better game (past Arroyo and Klamath, that is). I remember being dissapointed when I played fallout 3 later on, nothing in terms of what people in that world wrote or tried to communicate has captivated me the same way, and surrounding felt somewhat less hostile despite of everything being a bombed out ruin full of skeletons and raiders. I really liked this video, it's nice to have perspective of someone who completed it for the first time.
Yeah Fallout 3 was what got me into the series when I was younger so I’ve always remembered it fondly. I also haven’t played it in like a decade but from what I remember it never felt like things mattered as much or felt as dangerous like you said
"We don't speak about 76." Subscribed
😂 Same.
This video is really well put together, hope you keep this up!
Thanks for talking about old PC games like fallout1 in 2024. Youre earned a new sub! Cant wait for your FO2 video!
I hope they decide to add these games to Android. I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Never played them but I beat fallout 3 and NV when I was a teen and 4. Being an adult and having small bits of spare time during my work day would be great to fill it with fallout 1 instead of social media
There's an emulator on android for it, it's just called Fo2. Buy any copy of Fallout 1 or 2, drag the install onto your phone and voila you should be able to run it through Fo2
That's incredible, can't believe I hadn't heard of it before.
Pretty good video. Subbed. Good luck going forward man
Thank you team🫡
Old school fallout is awesome! Glad to see you cover it.
Great video! Love FO1+2. Looking forward to hear what you think about Fallout 2. In Fallout 2 you can interact a little bit more with your companions It's a little bit less dark, but still far from the comedic nature of some later games.
Fallout 3 is still a bit dark, Fallout 4 was much more lighthearted
I do remember it being a bit darker than 4 but I also haven’t played in nearly a decade so most of my memory was based on 4
Lol, 3:45 looks like me when I was trying to figure out how to give my companions things before discovering I had to "steal" from them

Fallout 1 and 2 have a lot of replay value, if only because a different character build will likely open up parts of the game world you didn't see before, especially with a higher Intelligence character. Plus, the second time through, you'll be better at what you're doing anyway. I noticed you didn't mention the quests involving the caravan, meeting Harold, learning about super mutant sterility through talking with Vree, talking to the Lieutenant, or talking the Master into suicide. There are so many ways you can play through this game!
There was a lot of side quests I didn’t do so I did end up missing a lot and I plan on trying to take it slower for the rest of the games so I don’t miss as much
Had this game when it first came out. Creepy atmosphere and a far different RPG than the console JRPGs I had played before. This game was easily the most desolate feeling of all the FO franchise. A good friend of mine got this game, too. We both loved it. I liked FO2 also but he didn't like that sequel. He felt that it didn't do enough new things compared to FO1.
of the fallout games i’ve completed, fallout 1 is my second favorite. banger game.
Great video. Keep it up
Nice video. I hope you continue through the series. It's interesting you only played a little of NV. NV is the continuation of 1 and 2 story and setting wise, as well as tone. 3/4 are reboots in effect.
At 16:24 I noticed your strat was; -Open inventory (4 AP) -Equip Stimpack (0 AP) -Close Inventory (0 AP) -Use Stimpack (2 AP) For a total cost of 6 AP I would suggest instead if you need to open your inventory anyway; -Open Inventory (4 AP) -Use as many Stimpacks as you need by holding right click and selecting use, reload weapons/change ammo type if needed, take some chem buffs if wanted, etc.... (0 AP) -Close Inventory (0 AP) For a total cost of 4 AP Now you can get some extra AP for extra actions before needing to open your inventory again. Might also help in the sections you were getting bodied in. Hope this helps for your next playthrough. Really happy to see a younger generation enjoying this one. Cheers.
Thanks for the tip. Someone else had mentioned something similar and i don’t know how but using items in inventory during a fight just never crossed my mind
This game is so good that it could easily be a stand alone with none of the world building from Bethesda
I mean it's the first game, the origin of Fallout, it created the world building that Bethesda used for the sequels, it was a standalone originally
Level up to be strong enough to have a tough but winning fight in a boss battle ❌️ Be super underleveled and on the easiest difficulty and retry 100 times to beat a boss that you shouldn't even be able to know exists at your level ✅️
I swear no matter what I play I end up either extremely under or over leveled somehow
At the end you kill the overseer because you have the bloody mess perk. If you don't have that perk you don't kill it
Bloody mess is a trait, not a perk :)
@@rimyvald6867 whatever
I had the hair about as long as yours back then when I played the game when it released and become available. Got a CD from a friend of mine, didn't get the game and its mechanics at firs (just like you, dying to rats) but oh boy, when I got to discover the history of this alternative future, and complete the game...
I'm a big fan of pre-Bethesda Fallout series and I've played through Fallouts 1 and 2 since 1998 every year or two (and now Sonora too since it is just as good as F1), but it's literally the first time I've ever seen the Overseer brutally murdered in the end. I guess I just couldn't help but play a nice guy every playthrough, huh... BTW, you should probably give Fallout Tactics a chance as well after you'll have thoroughly enjoyed the absolute pinnacle of the series - Fallout 2. You haven't even mentioned it for some reason. Sure, Tactics has nothing but combat, but the combat is great (it allows you to choose between realtime and turn-based in the options menu, so I recommend turn-based for most missions). It's like a Commandos game in the Fallout universe. Feel free to hate it if you will (most people actually do), but don't skip it without playing a mission or two.
og fallouts can be annoying but hella fun nevertheless. good vid. also love the cult of the lamb ost in the background :p
You missed some good dialogue with the Master but at least you appreciated the great music and atmosphere. I had a good reputation character so I got the canon ending which I loved. Honestly, Fallout 1 is my second favorite game in the series after New Vegas and I respect the creators of the series a lot.
Play the 2 with the restoration pack, adds back alot of missing stuff and fixes lots of problems. You can also try Fallout Tactics, its more like jagged alliance than an rpg but is cool for what it is.
refunded cuz backthen, the steam version was not patched/ready to be played on win7+ (the thing with it needing a old directx to properly run, gog didnt have this problem), and the 2 main unofficial patchs are a must. I started to play on fallout 3 and got hooked after playing the classics (a little bit of FOT too but...) a tip on FO2: Think there is no ok way to be made man with the 4 house at the same time helping vault city and ncr to get "good ending"
Imagine what your experience would be if you actually played the game. Like actually reading dialogue and not skipping everything so you are so much underleveled everywhere you go. You didn't even know what happened in the glow 😂
This is going to sound like a troll, but I'm serious. If you want to play this game, but you're intimidated. Follow a speedrun. No kidding. you can skip all the cutscenes so you won't get spoiled. if you mash the A key, (make sure you enter combat, not the enemy entering combat) it will ALWAYS BE YOUR TURN IN COMBAT!!! if you honest to god just can't compute this game, do a speedrun while mashing (and use at least a save slot for each location you visit) (also the build they use in the speedrun..honestly isn't a bad build for a real playthrough. never have your intelligence below 4.....it'll be funny at first, but when you get frustrated and lost...you'll have to look up where to go 24/7 or restart.
76 is in a great place if you hate it its likely from a earlier time, you should give it another chance, its one of the better fallout game imo
I’ve heard it’s a lot better so I do plan on giving it another try after I finish the other games
Omg dude the putting the stimpaks into the action bar and wasting another 2 AP to actually using them, instead of just using them from the inventory... Or the saving through the menus instead of hitting F6 killed me more than a pack of deathclaws. Clearly the game has not many comfort features, but the little it has you need to take advantage of!
I had used other items through inventory and somehow not once did using stimpaks through inventory come to mind until I saw this comment
Well now you know. No wonder you got PTSD from the deathclaw fights.
Let’s speak about 76
One day😞
Yes, I want him to tear it a new one :D
I never played the classic games and idk if I ever will they look amazing but also a pain in the ass to learn. Not the biggest fan of games where you have to go online to learn the bare basics
they definitely have a much higher learning curve than the bethesda games. I really like games that just throw you in so i didnt find it to be that bad but i could definitely understand why some people hate it when the games dont really tell you anything
You don't have to go online to learn the game. We couldn't in 1997. The steam version comes with the good old Vault Dweller field manual. Just print it and use as reference. Also, it's not that much to grasp. Something you can't do though is to skip Dialogs in the first run. The game lives from the storytelling.

i love fallout 76 dude
Is it actually decent now? I havent actually put time in the game since release and I only did then bc I was a big fallout 4 fan at the time.
@@i4nai oh dude its like a full on mmo now, theyve added sm bug fixes and alot of just fixes in general, it slaps loved your video btw
Thank you. I’m gonna go back and check it out eventually but when I tried it during the free weekend or whatever for the show launch it still felt very janky. To be fair though it was probably the frame rate that mostly gave me that feeling because I’ve seen online that you have to change some files or something to get it to run well on pc
@@i4nai i see, it could very well be a performance thing consideriing the game iS NINETY FOUR GIGABITEESSS???? but even if you dont like the game i can respect that :)
Pro tip. Never play Brotherhood of Steel (Xbox, ps2). It belongs in the dumpster that Bob set on fire after he threw 76 in it.
I tried many times to play the first Fallout, I don't care about the graphics, in the (distant) days of my youth playing isometric games was normal, I'm much more interested in the story and the gameplay, unfortunately I never managed to play them because they have always had functioning problems on my PCs, even the steam version and I cannot in any way like games with turn-based gameplay and action points.
I can understand that I used to feel the same about turn based combat and yeah I had plenty of times where it would crash on me which was pretty frustrating
Will you play Fallout 2 next
Yeah I’m gonna get to it but I didn’t want to do it immediately because I didn’t want everything I posted to be fallout related
Man. I feel old. "Most people think of F3 or 4 or new Vegas". Da fak?! Fallout ended on 2 and got a short revival with NV. Rest is some Bethesda crap with fallout logo on it.
76 isnt THAT bad anymore..just..microtransactions!
Another guy forcing himself to play a 20+ year old game just enough to be able to make a vide to ride off the fallout TV show's false popularity? I hope not, but I won't blame ya if that was the case.
i disagree Fixed/modded fallout aged well, but RAW fallout 1 breaks easily and can't support half of the modern techs
I meant more of gameplay and story wise but I get where you’re coming from. I definitely could’ve mentioned more issues with the vanilla game I just couldn’t think of them at the time of writing/recording
Falout 1 has like 3 mods anyway 😂
@7:30 trust me fnv deathclaws worse lmao
76 not bad now to be honest that might be a hot take i dont know dont look at me
I played it a lot on release and just pushed through because I was really into fallout and just recently tried it again when it had that free weekend and it was not a great start to the game. I’m probably going to go back and actually give it a shot but idk yet
