Almost 30 years later, Fallout 1's depth of choice, chance, and consequence is still an RPG gold standard (www.gamesradar.com)

Look, I love Fallout. I did my best to play 1 and 2. I own em.
I guess I'm doing something wrong. Unplayable. Literally.

While I'm at it ... New Vegas is ok. Meh. Fallout 3 was better. :]

You didn't do anything wrong, you just discovered you like the Bethesda type of game play better.

This is why fallout 1,2 and Vegas are rare gems for those that like the more indepth crpgs

You talkin about NV?
Boring. Bland. I played it. Guess I got about a third of the way through. Its not the great game people make it out to be.
Like I said, meh. Although your input is appreciated. Glad you liked it.

Or the first two games? Like, I'm not even sure they are running correctly. It's old tech. I chalked their being unplayable up to them being literally unplayable.

Right, it's possible for people to like different things. For the people who like the deeply branching crpgs they like 1 2 Vegas

That isn't your cup of tea, and that's fine! It's not about being right it's about knowing yourself. And you are the expert on you!

You like this deeply branching thing. There are other aspects to gameplay. NV is ugly. I grew up in the southwest and have seen quite enough tumbleweeds. The whole crafting thing was tedious. The game needs fixin, crashes frequently. I gave up when my annoyance level exceeded my entertainment. That was well before your deep branches. NV is meh.
