Which to choose?
Hey, sorry for the late reply, but I was away on my honeymoon in Morocco and didn't have access to The Vault. Well, I think the best way to experience the originals is in the order they were released. Fallout 1 is a brilliant introduction and experience. While the interface is a bit rough around the edges (certainly not as refined as JE Sawyer's work), it's nevertheless easy to get a hang of.

Several notes: read the manual thoroughly beforehand. Apart from a great deal of knowledge about the way SPECIAL works (which is different to how it works in FoNV and especially Fo3) and a list of all perks, it's also a well written piece of literature with a lot of background information. When playing, try to put aside the gamer instinct and take your time to immerse yourself. Read every bit of text, let it vocalize itself in your head. Experience, don't play. You're in for a great ride. :) http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 07:59, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * When it comes to travelling, it's a matter of "do what you want". Try to put yourself in the shoes of your character whenever you think about your destination and weigh your options. First, follow the Overseer's advice, then, when you DO find a town, ask around for directions to other towns, maybe even hire a former caravan guard to help you. From there, it's a matter of asking for nearby towns and simply talking to everyone. Good to know that you're enjoying it :) http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 09:28, September 20, 2011 (UTC)
