i'm a hardcore Fallout 2 fan, and now that i've play Fallout 3 for 6 days, i've come to a clear conclusion...

NO GAME will ever ever EVER be as good to me then Fallout 2, nothing will even come close. why? because i played fallout 2 when i was a kid, and now that i'm older my imagination and innocent is pretty much shot.....and that's why I'm sorta disappointed with Fallout 3, not because it's a bad game or anything it's just that i thought it could re-spark those nostalgic feeling that i get whenever i replay Fallout 2 but in a new and better looking 3D environment, and new storyline. Sadly, Fallout 3 feel too much like a completely different game, it's a GREAT game, but it doesn't come close to what Fallout 2 was and still is.

i remember the first time i got dogmeat, to the first time i accidently Pancored Vic to pieces cause he stand just a bit to close between me and a pack of gecko. i remember the first time i become a pornstar or a boxing champ or even kill a kid cause he annoyed me, i even miss the long ass time it took for Goris to take off his damn robe...those were the days.

just my thought, i gotta go back to shooting mutants head off now.. but plz post your thoughts.

I'll say this again. It won't be too long before someone will eventually mod the game to be just like Fallout 2 or even better. Just stay tuned and you will see. The Fallout 3 devs did a terrific job with this game though, but I agree, there is still a lot missing.

yea i wouldn't worry if you have the PC version. Bethesda is usually very nice to PC owners and with any luck we'll get a new SDK for fallout in a few months and if you look at oblivions around 100,000 mods you can just tell from that we'll get a lot of stuff in fallout

i already heard of a couple people wanting to put armor from gears of war and halo into fallout lol.

I´ll have to agree with tigerx, fallout2 was.. no, IS the best game out there. While fallout3 is pretty good and i cant find anything other than the combat system to complain about, it just doesnt capture the same feeling.
But i´m a big turn-based combat fan so my opinions might be a little biased

Luckily cheathappens is here to assure atleast some re-playability.

nostalgic features are always strange to be knock out, its like Final Fantasy 7 still this one was a great RPG and well no FF8 or the other ones can break it, its the case that we all getting old and still remember the good old days, like the same with Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter Nights was nice but its not the same like Baldurs Gate..... so we all are doomed

Well at least its something we can ramble to our grand kids about.

"Back in my day sonny, we didn't have those flashing virtual reality modules, no sir, we played on consoles and something called PCs, and although the graphics wasn't the best, at least the stories was fantastic"

With the rate things are going, Fallout 7 will be the new game during their time, if we dare talk about the 2nd one, we'll probably get burned for it :P

But yeah, as far as turn-based games go, Fallout 2 cannot be topped. It's kinda like natural selection, survival of the fittest. And gamers know how Fallout 2 still survives till today with that resolution and Restoration Project. Now, if we could only get the world of Fallout 2 implemented in Fallout 3....

Wait, is that a good way to use one of my 3 magic wishes?
