One of the best games ever made. The dialogue is the most hilariously written slew of cultural references imaginable, and you can cut the atmosphere/soundscape with a knife.

Fallout 2 is a massive step up from Fallout 1, offering a deeper, more immersive RPG experience with a wider range of choices, unique quest outcomes, and lasting consequences. The freedom to make morally complex decisions and shape the fate of entire towns added a level of weight that Fallout 1 only scratched the surface of.

One of the biggest improvements was the removal of the strict time limit, which made exploration feel much less stressful. While Fallout 1 had a sense of urgency that worked for its post-apocalyptic survival theme, Fallout 2 allowed for a more open-ended, player-driven experience, and the ability to continue playing after the main story was a welcome addition.

However, the game isn’t without its downsides. The expanded world, while impressive, often felt too spread out, making long stretches of travel more common than combat or meaningful dialogue. While this made the wasteland feel vast and realistic, it also meant spending a lot of time wandering between distant locations rather than engaging in the core RPG elements.

Overall, Fallout 2 builds on everything that made Fallout 1 great while offering a more ambitious, player-driven experience. The sheer depth of choices and consequences makes it one of the most rewarding RPGs of its time, even if the pacing sometimes slows down due to the size of the world.

The game is a scam nowadays because they are not fixing the bugs that appear due to new operating systems and such. The game itself is very nice, but the bugs make the game literally unplayable. The one that finally broke the game for me, is that I cannot yous fast travel to go between cities, the game freezes and nothing works.

So, cannot recommend a scam. Imagine paying for any product that does not work?
