   This game has too many strong qualities to adequately list them all. Atmospheric, darkly humorous, with memorable characters, meaty RPGThis game has too many strong qualities to adequately list them all. Atmospheric, darkly humorous, with memorable characters, meaty RPG elements, and possibly the best and most satisfying videogame ending of all time. Sixteen years on, the original Fallout remains the best entry in the franchise. No subsequent entry has been able to adequately reproduce the magic or improve the formula.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is good to say that this isn't the chapter, in Fallout serie, with which I began my ascent into this fantastic and unique world. In fact I fell in love with Fallout 3, and only then I discovered the previous chapters. But let's talk about Fallout, and not Fallout 3. I played the first chapter of Fallout already years ago, but I hadn't the ability to finish a game like that. Too complex, too difficult. Then recently I wanted to start again with a view to the release of Fallout 4, and then I re-started the first adventure in the Wastelands.
   
   Fallout's plot is simply fantastic and exciting. The historical background of retro-futuristic 21st century, 2077's Great War and the rest, is structured and interesting, full of meaning. It starts with a simple but dangerous mission, then move on to decide the fate of an entire area. It thus comes as something that concerns only Vault 13 and a small group of people, up to face a threat of extraordinary proportions. The Master: simply one of the best bosses and villains in gaming history. His story, his vision of a new world, through "The Unity" and transformation of men into supermutants, where differences fade and catalyze as a genetic destiny that allows them to survive in the Wastelands. A real evolution and revolution. Not just religious fanaticism, hope and peace in a rotten and sick world. Just think about christian's missionary missions in the Americas in the past, and recently in Africa. Bring a new religion, helping people, professing love and peace. This is the way The Master brings people to his future vision of the world using his disciples, the Children of the Cathedral, hiding of course all negaive things that follow. The Master, however, has miscalculated: thinking so much of humans' evolution, he forgot strong viruses' evolution; VEF virus that has mutated making his plan useless, all his work wasted, simply making mutants unable to reproduce. Just poetic. And what the Vault Dweller has faced for his people, for the salvation of an entire generation is simply amazing. Compared to other RPGs, Fallout's character does not have a "real personality", but his actions, the facts, the events speak for him. And even after facing hell in person and have sacrificed everything, he has been kicked out of the house for which he fought, and that he always protected. Not a word. Not a gesture. He took his responsibilities and just... went away. Sad but great scene when Vault Dweller moves away into the desert, leaving the world behind him, with the song "Maybe".
   
   Fallout's gameplay is hard to define: definitely the same gameplay of classic RPGs, but showed some characteristics that made it unique and so loved... or hated. Personally, I liked the gameplay: skill points and how they weigh on the development of the character is real, tangible and simply extraordinary. The turn-based combat is great, never boring, and well balanced in difficulty. Perhaps there was an abuse of "action points" concept: spend 1 AP only to open inventory, it seems a bit excessive. You can have companions, but you have to care about them cause they can die and running out of ammo. The trading system is just perfect, since it can operate both in terms of barter or using the currency of the game, bottlecaps, to trade stimpaks, weapons, armor and ammunition. However traders don't have a respawn of goods, and doesn't make sense, because the economy of the game is undermined, because you aren't able to obtain constant supplies of material to continue the adventure. The map is very big, and travel is realistic because a trip may take days (in-game, of course) to arrive at a given destination. Moreover, even if the map is quite large, it is clear how only 12 predefined locations are really detailed, important and interesting to visit. The level of gore and violence in the game is simply raw, realistic and delicious. Only real flaw in this game, but very heavy, is the timer to complete the first part of the main quest. The game is already very complex on its own, and people to talk to or objects to be recovered are not easy to find, but with the timer about 150 days to find the water-chip, the game forces the player to a senseless hurry, avoiding beautiful side quests for fear of running out of time, leading to the game over. Simply exaggerated, it is to admit it. This "defect" definitely alienated many people from the game, including myself, the first time I played it.
   
   The graphics in isometric view is fascinating and well crafted, the creation of steampunk and retro-futuristic world is artistically stunning and work perfectly. Also the realization of post-nuclear world's context is made very well. The soundtrack is good, well focused in places and events, and some tracks are disturbing.
   
   Fallout is symbol of quality obtainable only from classic RPGs. Hard to play, but it will worth it; Fallout has its flaws, and not by a little, but is still definitely an undisputed masterpiece of videogames.… Expand
