    Un excelentisimo título RPG, con personajes memorables, una buena historia, Lore y en general un aspecto narrativo muy bien cuidado, de tal forma que la historia pueda ser muy seria, humorística, triste, o algo profunda dependiendo de la situación sin que estas emociones que busca transmitir resulten chocantes o raros.
    En jugabilidad aunque puede ser algo tosco y difícil al inicio, pero    Un excelentisimo título RPG, con personajes memorables, una buena historia, Lore y en general un aspecto narrativo muy bien cuidado, de tal forma que la historia pueda ser muy seria, humorística, triste, o algo profunda dependiendo de la situación sin que estas emociones que busca transmitir resulten chocantes o raros.
    En jugabilidad aunque puede ser algo tosco y difícil al inicio, pero una vez entiendes como funciona el juego se vuelve en una aventura muy interesante por las enormes posibilidades que da el juego para resolver sus conflictos, en especial con el diálogo que esta tan bien desarrollado que incluso hay varias respuestas y formas de interacción bastante inesperadas o por lo menos interesantes que no se ven mucho en otros juegos de supuesto rol.
    Gráficamente el juego ha envejecido de forma excelente, realmente te sientes en un mundo post apocalíptico con esos entornos y ambientación general de los lugares que visitamos, siendo una bastante sucia en el buen sentido tomando en cuenta el sentimiento y ambiente que se busca transmitir a nosotros los jugadores.
    Siendo en términos generales una hermosa obra, y una revolución al juego de rol en ciertos aspectos que ya se habían visto en juego anteriores a este, pero que Fallout termino de asentar y perfeccionar en un gran juego que ha envejecido muy bien, que es y seguirá siendo muy disfrutable y de una innegable calidad    … Expand

    I'll start by saying the story and the world of Fallout 1 were incredibly captivating. It was really thought provoking, and it depicts a post nuclear world so authentic to the point it leaves uncomfortable feelings. Do you like games where you can immerse yourself in the story, and your decisions have an impact? Look no further.

It was really thought provoking, and it depicts a post nuclear world so authentic to the point it leaves uncomfortable feelings. Do you like games where you can immerse yourself in the story, and your decisions have an impact? Look no further.

    If you're interested in the Fallout Franchise this is the perfect place to start, if you have some tolerance for older games.

    [STORY]: As mentioned above, this game has one of the best stories I've experienced, you'll be finding yourself searching the wiki and diving deeper into the lore. Different playthroughs can differ from each other, whether you are skilled in Speech or have high Intelligence decides a lot this game. The storytelling is awesome as you start with one important main quest, and during the course of solving this problem, you get more and more information about a far greater threat. Almost every dialogue has a lot of options to choose from and makes it easy to really play your role, it just feels so alive even If this is such an old game.

    [GAMEPLAY]:
    Very simple, point and click to navigate everything, but it takes some time getting used to it. Combat is turn based, and half of the fights can be really tough, where you really have to stop and plan every Action Point you spend this round. It's tough because you are not stronger than another beings with comparable gear. Every fight can be really close until you get better gear. So in the early game it was really hard to survive, but once you acquire some of the best weapons you really begin dominating and this change is really rewarding and satisfying.
    Investing Skillpoints in: Lockpick, Repair, Science, Speech and Sneak has a great impact on your game and will change your solution to every quest. This feels so huge. Be really careful talking to NPC's because everything you say could change a lot in your playthrough.
    Have you threatened someone in the Hub's Downtown? You may need help from this person later on, and you may regret it.
    There are a lot of outcomes to every problem and situation and it's fascinating and entertaining to think about.

    There are some cons of course:
    - you have to save a lot, there are gamebreaking bugs and you're likely to encounter them.
    - you could play it without a guide, and it may be the most interesting riddle to solve ever, but I believe this will take too much time, I recommend a guide when stuck!
    - the story is so good and big, but the ending came kinda abruptly for me
    - it takes time to get into the groove of this game since inventory management, bartering and movement is bit outdated but when it clicks, it's quite good!

    TLDR;
    If you're a fan of cRPGs, this is for you. Fallout 1 has a captivating story and thought-provoking world-building. The gameplay is simple but challenging, and the choices you make have a real impact on the game world. It is a bit dated, and it is a bit of a slow burn, but it's worth sticking with. The story gets better and better as you play, If you can get past the graphics and the bugs, you'll find a rewarding experience.    … Expand

    One of the major cornerstones of all CRPGs, is great freedom of choice, and a great ending subverting your expectations(in a good way) You can finish the game never engaging in a fight just by sneaking around or talking your way out of trouble. Great game.

    Even changing the role system from GURPS to their own at the last moment, the developers managed to make a great game, precessor of many.

    90's RPG to its finest. There are some weird things happening every now and then, like, some companion shooting you and Dogmeat to death, but either way it is a very compeling story with very intriguing setpieces.

    Although this is a cult game and debuted over 20 years ago, I decided to check out this title quite late and I can only say one thing ... it was really worth it. The atmosphere is really very cool, as well as the presented world. A lot of decisions that actually affect the ending, although as you know, only some choices are canonical, but I still recommend it.

    That Fallout started everything. I really like the role-playing component and the story. How the world works, how lore writing. The game is very variable, extremely adult, companies is something (i really love them). You can even side with the enemy. Where else is it possible? The gameplay is a masterpiece. Truly my most favorite fallout.

    The first time Fallout was 4, but when I played this one I had never seen its previous gameplay, this one has good graphics (I usually say that they are low because I am playing with PC gaming), and the turn-based RPG is fair, I'm just saying that Since the story is still progressing and I have no other opinion on the game, sorry, but it was a good idea to have played it.

    I understand that when this game was released it must have been a watershed but I will do my analysis based on my experience in 2022 thinking about who like me wants to start in the saga.

    The graphics are an obstacle, because in addition to the character model being dated, the scenarios make it difficult to experience, because many things are hidden, not because they are a secret, but    I understand that when this game was released it must have been a watershed but I will do my analysis based on my experience in 2022 thinking about who like me wants to start in the saga.

    The graphics are an obstacle, because in addition to the character model being dated, the scenarios make it difficult to experience, because many things are hidden, not because they are a secret, but because the low quality prevents you from finding the item, characters, and objectives. Many times I looked on the internet where a character was, and in fact he was "hidden" on the inside of the wall that didn't show.

    The gameplay is interesting with an action point counter in battles and MANY different ways to assemble the character, avoiding the obvious melee and range, but being able to make stupid characters which completely changes the interactions.
    In addition, your choices directly interfere with almost everything in the game, from killing everything and everyone to not killing anyone. This freedom is very impressive.
    The backstory is interesting, but the protagonist's is very superficial. But the way it happens without directing it in an obvious way is pretty fun.
    I had a few visual bugs here and there, but nothing major.
    I recommend it for those who have an open mind for dated systems and old graphics, to be able to know the saga as a whole, even more so because it is possible to buy it almost for free.

    The first time I tried to play this game, I left it pretty quickly because it felt very archaic and outdated.

Inconvenient trading mode, where you need to manually calculate the amount, slows down the gameplay quite a lot. When I did try to go through it again, I did it in one breath.

The incredible atmosphere of the post-apocalypse and the well-developed game world is entirely engrossing and gives an unforgettable experience. Unique customization of the protagonist's character allows you to play the game every time like the first time. Extraordinary sudden events always bring surprises and an element of unexpectedness. Although the graphics are in an old-school style, various unique animations have been etched in my memory for a long time. A fascinating and exciting story makes you think for a long time before making this or that choice. This is the rare case where the words and motivations of the final boss actually make sense and his position seems justified from another point of view.
    Definitely a legendary game and the best in the entire series.    … Expand

    This game is awesome, i can't decide where to start. Fallout is one of the few role playing games where your decisions actually matter. unlike fallout 4, where the story is set up and can only choose from 4 endings. this game combines all the core ingredients to combine the ultimate game. and it executes it damn well.

    This game doesn't need introductions.

    Ironically, back in a day, I almost finished it after Fallout 2. I was surprised the game was shorter, simpler. The limit of the Vault's survival was annoying.

But I liked the endings (multiple decisions - storm, hack or convince). Back then I didn't care and tried to kill everything that moves or attacks me. Unfortunately, the game had a bug with the computer in the Mariposa base. So, I finished the game several times later.

    From the 1997-98 perspective, the game is just awesome and super interesting. It is simplified compared to Baldur's Gate but more convenient and flexible. The only problem was missing the shots (DND legacy). So, you really need to think about how to build a char.

    Pros.:
    - Awesome setting.
    - Variety of choices (even though, they are simple).
    - SPECIAL system.
    - Endings. Affect of your actions.
    - Weaponary. Always liked the animation of extermination.
    - A lot of popular culture references (X-Files, Doctor Who, etc., even reference to Richard 'Levelord' Gray).

    Cons.:
    - Missing shots while 95%.
    - The game is SUPER short. A lot of cut content. And you can feel it.
    - SEVERE underdevelopment of quests. Even with the Fix patch you still feel that something is missing. It's obvious a lot of content went to Fallout 2.
