It's crazy to think that this game was released in 1997, almost 30 years ago, and it still holds up incredibly well. The story, the characters, and the world are unique, and the atmosphere is haunting throughout the entire game. Combat here is lacking, being very basic and random; sometimes you can just get one shot by enemies, and sometimes you can one shot them, leading to multiple reloads. The game is not long, but that's good as it doesn't ever feel like it's dragging on. Fallout has laid the groundwork for many modern CRPGS, but it still holds up on its own with 27 years of new games coming out.

Bioware at its best; each individual storyline for every place is interesting; it has a good villain, be it the blight or the human antagonist; companions are well written and deep; voice acting is some of the best in the genre; and it is a fantastic world with plenty of great concepts. The only complaint I have is that the game has some fetch sidequests here and there, nothing too major, and maybe around 5 hours of content. and also that combat gets a little repetitive, especially when you are really op die to nothing, but the game keeps throwing enemies at you (played on the hardest difficulty).
