This was not my first Fallout experience, but it is probably my favorite overall. It's really difficult to pick a favorite between Fallout, Fallout 2, and New Vegas. However, I've always found myself drawn towards the first game for a multitude of reasons. The first is I believe the first Fallout has the best overall story and progression of any of the games. While there's not a plentitude of factions like in New Vegas, there are still many different choices to be made that will greatly impact the sort of ending you get in this game. I also feel that the main antagonist in this game is the most unique and interesting one's I have ever seen, Fallout or otherwise. While it definitely doesn't feel as smooth to play anymore, this game is a true classic, and deserves the time of day for any RPG or CRPG fan. If you've never played either of the two CRPG Fallout games, I would definitely give them a chance.
