Starting today, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until December 23 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
Video Gamer: "Earlier this week, we released a story that the source code and in-development assets for both Fallout and Fallout 2 were lost. According to series creator Tim Cain, and as far as he knew, the source codes for both of the original games were destroyed. However, that’s not the case."
Fallout creator Tim Cain revealed that Interplay demanded all source code of the original games to be destroyed.
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
Just buy the package from virtually any key vendor online. Usually about $2, and you don't need to have Fortnite ads shoved down your throat to access the games.
You also won't have China farming your information.
I would get Fallout 2, but the Epic launcher almost never works for me and I get tired of trouble shooting. Any way I'll probably just pick it up for 90 cents at GoG. Less hassle and I can own it.
