Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

Hello, I was replaying FO1 and FO2 and this website helped me find the restoration project.

Looks like an interesting, yet in Internet terms, ancient community.

Another Newbie

Hello everyone,

I am new on this board. After having been discussing ideas for a fan based Fallout game with Sztupy from the IanOut Mod he suggested that I posted what I have written on this forum to see if people like it or not.

Well I hope to be here for a while and have disccusions on both Fallout and non Fallout related subjects with you all.

(PS. Sorry for the bad English from time to time. English is not my native language)

Oh, this guy seems promising, I wonder the things he will contribute.
 
Hello all

I was thinking about making a new thread for the purpose of introducing myself, but I've decided against it. Instead I'll just leave a little bit of what I was going to say there, here.

Mostly I was just wondering if anyone had a similar introduction to the series as I had:

I hadn't heard of Fallout until around 2008, when I'd seen a FO3 Lunchbox in the game cabinet at my local wallyworld. Long story short, I thought it was a Bioshock knockoff (funny in hindsight), as I was playing the first Bioshock on PS3 at the time. It wasn't until late 2010 that I picked up a used copy of FO3 on PS3, I won't at all go in depth with my experiences with both it and New Vegas a year or so later (as this post would quickly turn into a novel). However, what I will say is that due to 3 and NV's unstable nature on PS3 (as well as my lack of a decent gaming PC), I was introduced to the earlier titles, which I can confidently say are my favorites in the series. So I suppose what I'm asking is, if anyone that had FO3 as their first Fallout, fell back into the earlier titles and enjoy them more than the later titles. I know from a lot of back and forth from people online, it seems like if your first Fallout was 3, you generally have more appreciation for the later titles and little to no regard for the earlier ones (and vice versa).

Absolutely, I started with F3 and fell in love with it, hated New Vegas as I thought it was boring, played F4 and liked it. Then I learned to get over the many prejudices I had about the classic games and played them, fell in love with them, and as a result opened my eyes with New Vegas upon returning to it. After which I couldn't enjoy F3 and F4 the same again from a storytelling basis. Crazy to think I was only 8 when F3 came out, I still have many fond memories with it.

In my case I had never heard of Fallout prior to 2008, it was only after giving up on playing FO3 on PS3 that I checked out the originals, at that point it was around 2012. Also if you're wondering how I had never heard of the series, it's because I didn't have a dedicated home PC until around 2010.
