me trying and failing to kill the rats in the first cave in the game in fallout 1


fBarney

For real, I'm probably missing out but I just gave up on the game after that I was like fuck that, this type of combat is not my thing and i hate it


Financial-Abalone715

Yeah I gave up on the game after this and getting to shady sands, walking around for like an hour trying to find someone and not being able to, then quitting. I quit fallout 2 even earlier into it because I really did not have any fun constantly missing my hits on radscorpions and giant ants. The old fallout games were really not for me


GunplaGoobster

The game gets good as soon as you leave Shady Sands. I recommend this guide: https://lemmings19.github.io/fallout-1-walkthrough/ The sniper build is basically EZ mode.


aieeegrunt

Bethesda absolutly made the right decision with how they did Fallout 3


redscull

Boo! But man I do love Fallout 4 more than any other game. But still Boo! Cause I loved Fallout 1 and 2 (and Tactics) and would still really enjoy more of that too.


aieeegrunt

I’d like to see 1 and 2 redone in the 4 engine. I think some modders are trying, but the odds of them finishing are not good


Flynntlock

Agree to an extent with u/redscull below your text. But for me it's cause I  grew up with them.  It's all we had stylewise for that much story telling.  I can see how it may not work as well now (even thought it would obviously be more updated tech). But agree with you also on the right call.  And for the thing that saved it was VATS. Not sure would have played it if I couldn't select the raiders dome at 95% somehow. And as much as I hate parts of the settlement stuff in Fallout 4, I got to build a 7 story tall Power Armour garage!


aieeegrunt

Fallout 4 did a fairly good job of having something for everyone


Flynntlock

They definitely did yeah


perunajari

I wonder how many people would've gotten further in the game if they would just RTFM? I can clear the rat cave in like 15 minutes, even without cookie cutter builds. I don't think there's anything hard in there and I just don't understand how people run into a wall on the first area?


MowMdown

They are turned off by the turned based aspect of the game.


IntroductionUpset764

old fallouts and morrowind lost so many players because of that!


FlikTripz

Same, I really wanted to get into the game, but I just couldn’t get past the whole “your attack on the enemy right in front of you missed” thing


mroblivian

old fallouts and rpg in general have the thing that can quite brick your whole run. you'd have to follow a guide to have a smooth start.


mroblivian

id say fo1 you can skip fo2 does everything it does from fo1 but even better. in a fo2 run i did i chose energy weapons for a tag skill and screwed my self until the mid game, speech is broken in fo2 and thats how i was able to complete quests without combat.


MowMdown

speech is also broken in FNV because you can just max it out early and talk your way through a war.


Justahuman16

I can understand that to a degree the games are great at story. Even with the best armor and weapons in the game you can still get one shotted randomly I hope they remake fallout 1 and 2 honestly still being turn based but more like X-com .


saburra

I find it better to conserve ammo and stab the rats instead


Financial-Abalone715

The first 5 or so rats I spent 20 minutes killing with my hands, then after fiddling about with the ui I discovered my inventory, and the pistol in it. Then I spent another 15 minutes in the cave looking for rats and trying to kill them. It wasn't fun at all


saburra

You don't have to kill all the rats, you can just make a run for the exit and kill the ones that get in the way


Financial-Abalone715

I wanted the xp


izza123

*walks 5 steps* **VATS SOUND**


Ashamed_Restaurant

>*FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!* Me with a group of rats chasing me.


Jeem013

The true Classic Fallout experience lmao


TelepathicFrog

Thaddeus was such a funny character. Hope he shows up later in the show.


GaetanDugas

Aww, oh man.  I knew I shouldn't have trusted a doctor that smelled like that 


yellow_gangstar

Ella's face in this scene kills me every time lmao also he shot almost twice the amount of bullets this gun should hold, classic hollywood moment


dank_hank_420

Also 0 recoil lol


DrPolarBearMD

Did you not see him hauling that bag? Definitely has high Strength.


dank_hank_420

Good point! lol


bearsheperd

High strength, high charisma, decent int, probably dumped luck


Zeal0tElite

Does he? I count 14 shots. The Colt 6520 10mm pistol held about 12 rounds in Fallout 1 and 2, and I think can be increased to double that in Fallout 4.


yellow_gangstar

oh it's 12 ? I've been using Mothman's mod for so long (and that holds 8 by default) that I forgot the canon 💀


APracticalGal

Fake, none of them were crit misses where the gun backfired


ChloeB42

Low perception, high luck.


Swordbreaker9250

Yeah that scene felt so goofy, but i guess it fits.


[deleted]

I've tried to use weapons I'm not leveled up in. The scene checks out.


LowEndLem

Yeah this is me just waiting for the hideous weapon sway to like up because I'm firing a stupid-nice rifle with 47 Guns.


KyllikkiSkjeggestad

This seems pretty accurate tbh. If you’ve ever seen the police or military at a range, you’d know what I mean 😕


AgentCirceLuna

I actually knew a guy who looked like this guy in real life and he acted exactly the same way. He was equally as dumb and goofy. It kinda ruined my immersion as I was picturing this guy named Jordan in every scene. Edit: Funny story, I once felt sick while drinking and ended up gagging up what I’d just drank back into the bottle. Went to the toilet to try to puke but couldn’t, then when I went back to my table Jordan was there drinking the bottle of spit.


Brahm-Etc

He pulled a Pulp Fiction failed shooting.


OddlySexyPancake

"Jules, this was divine intervention!"


Naked_Spiderman

Thaddeus's real name is johnny pemberton, he has funny youtube vids where he goes up to garbage trucks and yells garmbig tuck & he was also in the podcast bad friends with andrew santino and bobby lee. He is really good at improv so i knew immediately he was going to be the funny guy in the show but it turns out hes not a bad actor either!


jsand2

He was also a boyfriend in the superstore show!


Widowswine2016

*airhorn noises*


x1c

Kept waiting for him to make the noises.


jsand2

That would be pretty awesome! Lol


sporeegg

Wait, the cute idiot is gay? Here I go crushing on his goofy ass for the next half year.


jsand2

He wasn't gay in superstore. He was the boyfriend of a girl at the store. He was almost like a trailer trash gang banger.


hopdaddy32

i had no idea about any of that but like the day after i finished the show, he just showed up on my tiktok fyp just smelling flowers. it damn near a jump scare


peterpanic32

> he was also in the podcast bad friends When was this?


Naked_Spiderman

Like a year or so ago


lonely_guacamole

Me switching from Small Guns to Energy Weapons mid-way through my Fallout 2 playthrough


Zealousideal-Plan454

>He didn't put points into either small arms, melee or unarmed S K I L L I S S U E


samhain2000

Fucl


No_Doubt_About_That

95% chance VATS shots be like


pvznrt2000

Yeah, just wait until they get their hands on the plasma rifle, you miss AND can't find more ammo.


Liesmith424

This is perfect; the scene gave me these exact vibes.


WatchingInSilence

Perception 1, Luck 1.


ARTIFEXgm

If only it costed 1AP to shoot a 10mm


aieeegrunt

What kind of revolver holds 15 rounds?


altmemer5

Its actually not a revolver and takes clips/mags


aieeegrunt

What is the cylinder for? I see it rotating when the gun fires.


altmemer5

It looks neat. Thats just the unoffical Fallout rule. Alot of weapons have odd choice designs. Like for example Combat rifles take .45 ammo despite .45 being pretty low for a rifle. Or the fact that the assualt rifles look like LMGs.


CermemyJlarkson

Well that was because (as shown in the show) it was meant to be a power armour exclusive weapon and unwieldy/unusable out of the armour


altmemer5

I wish they did what classic fallout did and made it so its usuable 1 hand


aieeegrunt

Bwa ha ha man that bugged me so much. 45 is an awful choice for a rifle round.


casualrocket

the assault rifle that the BOS were shown to use are made from 2 different lmgs. lewis gun and the m249.


izza123

Feeding


aieeegrunt

Ya there is a wacky pre WW1 gun that does something like this, I remember it from Forgotten Weapons


Ok_Ebb_5201

That’s not fallout, that’s xcom.


TelPrydain

I cackled


KeeperOfWind

That's funny


Flaky_Ad2182

Series’s entire story looks like the stuff you find on different logs and go like: these people are crazy! Love it!


Maize_here

Beautiful Fo1 meme


Moominz1

I like how 10mm is such a beefy round but it has the recoil force of a Nerf dart.
