Community for CRPG and other RPG discussions. Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".


Rules (Click to Expand):

  1. Follow the Lemmy.world Rules - https://mastodon.world/about

  2. Be kind. No bullying, harassment, racism, sexism etc. against other users.

  3. No spam, illegal content, or NSFW content (no games with NSFW images/video).

  4. Please stay on topic, cRPG adjacent games or even JRPGs are fine. Try to include topics / games that have a strong roleplaying component to them.

I would consider using a walkthrough anyway if you're not planning on multiple playthroughs, since there is a lot of fun stuff you might otherwise miss. I've always found Per Jorner's Nearly Ultimate Fallout (2) Guide the best by far:

https://lemmings19.github.io/fallout-2-walkthrough/

They also contain a lot of useful advice you might want to check out even if you're not using the walkthrough part.

Absolutely excellent and exhaustive guide that could as well be called the Fallout Bible (if that wasn't already the title of the Fallout design documents). Would definitely recommend referring to it if you need a guide. I would actually suggest perusing the character building section even if you're not intending to use it as a walkthrough as a good character will set you up to maximally enjoy these games if you're only intending to play them once.

For Fallout 2 you should also look into some mods, in particular Restoration Project, Updated.
