Which game is the superior title to you?
Nope, but it was less frequent and severe and therefore less infuriating when things didn't work in Fallout. Arcanum, to me seems broken from the very base.Oh yeah, I forgot that everything in Fallout works the way it's supposed to.
Wrong forum - this should be discussed at the General Gaming and Hardware Forum...![]()
Nah, Fallout's story is only cheesy if you look at it from the point of Fallout 2 (which I know many of you do). But if you look at it from Fallout 1, it superior to Fallout 2 and Arcanum. Almost like the crack dealer is superior to the crack head. If that makes any sense... despite the fact that fallout 1 was the best of the series, yet people praise Fallout 2 mainly just because it was a bigger game. Who gives a fuck?
I'd agree with all of those points, with the notable exception of "more polished". FO2 looks and feels noticeably rushed... because it was. The menagerie of bugs inherent within the game were a massive clue-in that the game didn't get the time it deserved FOR said polish. It was refined and improved over FO1 in many (if not most) ways, granted, but they didn't have the time for what most would consider "polish" for a video game. Streamlining, consistency in graphics and presentation, absence of bugs. It's got all the things you mentioned, and then some, but just not polish. =/Nah, Fallout's story is only cheesy if you look at it from the point of Fallout 2 (which I know many of you do).

It's also more polished, less linear, has more varied gameplay, and a more intuitive interface. All at the cost of being more of a "themepark RPG". *Shrug* I like both equally, but for different things. I did get more mileage out of FO2 than FO1, that's for sure.
Also note that I'm talking about the *main story* (or main quest, if you will) as opposed to the overall world/setting or the side-stories. Both use similar tropes and virtually the same main quest structure.
