If you're this ignorant to skip a fucking character naming and spent in character creation menu less than half of a hour then you probably won't try to experience everything
So many times in this video I was like "why are you doing that!!" Only to realize that the reason I figured out not to do those things was the internet. Well done
@@basdune9534 tbh it was a bit frustrating at times, but that's how things were. Ah, I won't forget the first time I've got power armor, together with my friends back in the late 90s. Lego Samurai were a thing back then!
@@basdune9534 Well, you can save some time by only going for the named NPC's. Also, best advice I remember from the FO1 manual was when you start specialise, get good at one specific way of killing, and 1 or 2 other skills, and then generalise later on when you have spare points. All in all, Science and Repair were the key skills IMO in FO1. And my 1 low intelligence character only ever made it as far as Shady Sands but damn it was funny.
I gave up on Fallout 1 when I got trapped inside the Gun Runners by a bugged NPC. I was too frustrated to continue. My previous save was pretty far back.
Someone I watch did something similar to this once. He called it a "Forced Blind" run. Since Castlevania 2 is often said to be really obscure, he tried to play it without doing anything the game didn't tell him to. Long story short, the game being stupidly obtuse is a bit of a meme, tho twice, he found out that yes, he was lost. Both times, it was on the Translation. And one of them, if you played as intended, you'd have found anyway. It was enlightening
You did good. You know, back in the day this is how we used to beat all games. Funny to see you make the same mistakes and pitfalls we did twenty years ago. This means the design works as intended!
*laughs in elder millennial that played the game when it was brand new* Back in my day... something about lawns and going uphill both ways while having to pedal start our hard drives...
I never would have figured this game out without a guide. You're a madman for trying and incredible for succeeding. The military base gave me the most strife with that ridiculous puzzle I would never understand on my own (Fallout 2...was worse).
@joshm7335 there are actually a good amount of context clues within the base that can let you even set the forcefield controls to one of the radios you can pick up. It takes a lot of reading, searching, and sometimes just random skill checks on new objects but it's possible to find a lot of the seemingly obtuse solutions within the game.
now this is the question we all need answers too. Can a man with a modern mind full of worms and covered in rot comprehend what is needed to complete this convoluted mess of seemingly unconnected tasks,, i myself with stage 4 rot couldn't complete that tutorial without help....
@averagefanenjoyer8696 The internet was nothing like it is now, though (and you weren't likely to find information on games anyway), and yeah, they had the manual, but that doesn't make the game easy
I found you about a week ago,and I'm absolutely in love with your videos. I am super glad to hear youtube has been successful for you thus far. Now that you done fallout 1 without internet do you think you will do fallout 2 without it? (Excluding downloading, you can consider that the radroach acception)
This video hasn't done as well as other videos, but to me, that doesn't matter! this was still a blast to play and make, and I know I will most likely do one for fallout 2 as well!
LOL you have the same synergy as lilgasmask666 and both of you are probably making the best youtube videos i ever watched. Am happy that i discovered your channel
context can be important. back in the day fallout played like any other game. but nowadays most games aren't like fallout or if they are the quality of life is vastly improved
This video is amazing. Simply put. SECONDLY, I might be the few 15%~ that wanna see Kenshi vids. If you got that cooking in the back I’ll be happy to watch asap lol
i love watching people experience the OG fallout for the first time. will be watching to see if you do 2. the only hint i will give you... if you get invited to raid a church with slavers, you can turn around and use the goons they give you to attack the slavers themselves and the goons will help kill their own team.
I am once again suggesting "Can you beat cyberpunk as a weeb" where you only use in game weapons and clothes shown in the edgerunners anime. (Also great video, really enjoyable as usual)
I used to love doing the Energy Sniper build. 8 Perception, and a unique Plasma rifle and I could 95% them in the eye from the far side of the room with extra crits and better crits. Full power Armour helps too. Also Science and Repair were IMO key non-lethal skills to get in FO1. And Junktowns Killian Darkwater was voiced by MacGyver, which was a big deal back in those days. Just watch old Simpsons episodes about Richard Dean Anderson references. 😊 -Either Shady Sands of another nearby place has rope.
My first time going through Fo1 was without using the internet. It was fun but I wouldn't recommend it, like you I found there were a few mechanics that aren't explained well and at times I had no idea where I needed to go
My first experience with Fallout 1 was a random encounter literally the moment I left the vault. It was 3 bears.... 3.... bears. I just started the game and I'm being jumped by 3 bears. Good times
Fun to see it played by someone that doesn't know a thing about it! Seems like anyone that's recorded a playthrough, has at least some idea of where to go.
While it's not easy to play Fallout 1 "optimal", I really don't see how it's such a big deal. Take everything that's not nailed down, talk to everyone, and eventually all the places you can or should go to should become clear. I played F1 in 1998, without help (as far as I can remember). The real "how could you do that without the internet" would be 90s adventure games. Even us old gamers needed walkthroughs now and then, helpfully provided by an abundance of gaming magazines.
I mean, of course you can. I mean, I did, back in '99 when I didn't have the internet. Should try Wasteland without internet some time. I *really* didn't have internet back in '88
I played this game years after being a fallout fan and loving 3 NV and 4, honestly fallout 1 was easy to me but I was never able to get into fallout 2, I'm not sure why
Yes Fallout 1. Perfection. This game has by far the best atmosphere if all games. I love new vegas to death but the OG just hits different. We do not talk about Bethesda and their fan games.
I gave up at shady sands the first time I played this absolute nightmare of a game. Fallout 3 gave me way too high of an expectation. Kudos to you for giving it a go, you're a braver person than I ever was.
Wait you played Fallout 3 first and thought this was worse? What? I started with Fallout 3 and really liked it. Then I played new Vegas and after that 1 and 2. Now I cannot touch anything with Todd's name on it. What a load of horse crap they made in comparison
@@requiemagent3014 1 and 2 are still flawed games. Aside from them being unplayable without user patches (because of a shitton of bugs and exploits), the first one has a pretty barebones companion system (even compared to 2) and the shops don't even restock. Using Et Tu does fix a lot of the issues but still. 2 has a lot of tone issues too, and it forces you to go melee for the first 1/4 of the game.
Impeccably well done, I couldn't survive the character creation screen of fallout 1 with internet.
same but with fallout 3 onwards trying to get my character to not look like a potato
8:40 If you haven’t accidentally named your character ‘None’ on accident at least once. You haven’t truly experienced classic Fallout.
Same with playing Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines lol
If you're this ignorant to skip a fucking character naming and spent in character creation menu less than half of a hour then you probably won't try to experience everything
I purposely do this. Every Fallout MC is named None in my headcanon lol
So many times in this video I was like "why are you doing that!!" Only to realize that the reason I figured out not to do those things was the internet. Well done
Back in my time we walked 2 hours in the snow to beat Fallout without the internet...
both ways!?!?!??!
2:44 you saw a radscorpion walking into his own home and decided to kill him in cold blood? how could you
I think it's perfectly OK to read the manual which came with the game, that's how we old people beat the game back then when it was new.
We pirated the thing here, as all other games. We went in raw!
Old gamers learned to talk to every single person in every single town to get some info, and do it again after doing some stuff.
@@basdune9534 tbh it was a bit frustrating at times, but that's how things were. Ah, I won't forget the first time I've got power armor, together with my friends back in the late 90s. Lego Samurai were a thing back then!

They did have internet back then. And FO1 came with a really large manual.
