Thought I’d share with you an article I’ve written for a site called www.gamesthatrocked.com on Fallout 2: http://gamesthatrocked.com/2013/11/15/games-that-rocked-liam-weltons-world-47-fallout-2/

It’s one of my favourite games of all time (as I’m sure you’ll quickly gather as you read the article) and I think anyone who’s interested in RPG’s would probably get a blast playing it. If you can’t play it, you can always read the article instead ;)
Niiiiiice. Great article. :) I bloody love Fallout 2 - and its spiritual and, in fact, literal successor, New Vegas, which I am currently re-re-re-re-replaying. That Interplay/Troika/Obsidian team produce some of the best, most well-written, most ambitious and unfinished and endearingly buggy games in the world. I like to compare Fallout 3 - which has well-designed arenas for interesting gameplay, and total characterisation just about this side of zero - with New Vegas - which has maybe a couple of decent dungeons, and is the post-apocalyptic society I’d most like to live in, because it’s just so fantastically and deeply realised. (I’m classing Fallen London as a pre-apocalyptic society here, alongside, say, the original Deus Ex.)
