An ambitious Fallout 4 mod aims to completely rebuild the epochal 1997 RPG, and you can try the unofficial Fallout 1 remake right now.

TBH I want more Fallout isometric RPG games - Baldur's Gate 3 style, not just another Obilvion with guns

Give the franchise to Larian Studios and let them do their magic

You’ll get your wish of more Fallout games around about the same time that Bethesda is absorbed into Microsoft around the year 2029 when ES6 performs about as well as Starfield did.

oh shit! I actually haven’t played one or two yet, this is pretty exciting.

thanks for sharing, I’m definitely going to try out vault 13.

modders are awe-inspiring.

FO 1 and 2 were world-changing for me when i played them in the late 90s (“HUGE installation” = ~500 megabytes of space), and implanted in me a lifelong love of all things post-apocalypse. this IS exciting, because those original games are dated almost to the point of unplayable. but you can still get them on GOG for a couple bucks–they’re definitely still worth that price

I got the whole set from epic, and tried one and two, but like you say, they’re pretty difficult to play at this point, so I’m excited to jump into the graphically modernized stories.

I’ve already downloaded, I’m going to try to install the mod today.

or at least as soon as some YouTuber makes a good video I can follow along with to mod f4, haha

I’ve tried getting into the first two a few times, but you’re right, they are very dated. I think Bethesda could get an easy win from remakes of these games; just polishing them up and making some gameplay changes to bring them in line with modern games. There’s no need to make the games first person, or anything that would dramatically change them, the market clearly has an appetite for CRPG’s.

There’s no need to make the games first person,

agreed. anyone who doubts it can just look at baldur’s gate 3. good games are good games in any perspective

But in many ways, it would probably be easier for them to remake in first person, considering they’ve got the engine and a wealth of Fallout 3D assets ready to go.
