Ah, Rascal Flats. Glad there's another big Disney's "Cars" fan. Ain't no formula for good taste.

Another wiener mr.manti.
I miss all the old stuff that didn't hold your hand or lead you by the nose to your next objective. Sure it was frustrating sometimes, but when you figured it out it was so much more rewarding.
I hate to say it,but I feel like the days when you had to actually read and listen and pay attention in games is over.
I really hope that's not the case,but it seems developers cant help but put waypoints,notes that all but spell out the solution to the quest, and general easements to problem solving in their stuff as a matter of habit.
@@regisphilbinsscrotum6631 Goes to show you to the ridiculous, low esteem that studio heads and executives hold the younger audiences to. Making sure games cater to the new generation of gamers? Make something special to show them what a great game is, don't bank on the mindless dopamine rush of quantitative game design...
"The deathclaw will ravage everyone in town."
Immediately followed by chosen one killing deathclaw in one punch.
Chosen One = One Punch Man
Frank Horrigan = 1 Tap Man
A friend of mine did a character in Fallout 2 that could pretty much one punch anything with the help of chems but it took a week of game time and a ton of stimpacks to survive the withdrawal effects.
I like to think that the Deathclaw is a friend of Goris, and by "Punching" him the Chosen One just gave him a few bucks to play dead. "Here's two bucks, play dead and I'll tell Goris you said "hi." "You got it, CO!"
@@MrShoebox21 Goris?
One of my favorite side-quests is in the Den.
Mom will ask you to bring a meal to Smitty.
If you take the meal, and then forget to deliver it and beat the game (like I did)
You can offer the meal to Smitty and he says "Oh. I already went got me something to eat."
To which the Chosen One can reply: "Oh, well can I still have the exp?"
Smitty: "Sure."
"I'm Dick Lord, the Chosen One. I'm looking for Vault 13."
Oh boy this cracked me up.
I love how fallout 2 poses slavery as a norm. It would make sense in post apocalypitic wasteland that the weak would be utilised rather than killed, and we see the different ways of justifying it. The Denison of The Den own it, the Dwellers of Vault City pretty it up and agree with it because "It's always been that way" and New Reno makes their slaves willing by drugs. Although I don't think it makes it as justifyable to the player as it is in New Vegas, it paints the wasteland in a more realistic way, to me atleast.
Great observation. I agree. Certainly not based on race, but the post-war would bring out the worst in a lot of people.
@@TKsMantis thanks. I think alot of people are closed to discussing the morality of Slavery in Fallout due to the pre-existing connotation between slavery and racism, which I understand and is justified. It is great to see you didn't jump to that idea and took it independent of these pre-existing ideas!
exactly why the Last of Us leaks are so hilarious. In a post-apocalypse, with humanity surviving on a knife's edge, babies not being made - You're going to put, lesbians in your game, when every fucking faction on earth would be Warring to get more brood mares and concubines for the Tribe, when your natural instincts come back in full force... and you're chicks are slobbin' coochie in the wasteland because current year. Gonna (X) on that one.
Fallout 3 had a great potential with slavery that sadly got wasted in fallout 4 (by not showing the slavers anymore), I liked the option where you could join the slavers and go around the wasteland putting collars on people and getting paid for it. It also showed the capital wasteland as a more horrible place, with rich people like Tempenny, slavers, kids all closed in a cave kicking out adults, ghouls bullied by everyone (including the brotherhood of steel), evil mercenaries like the Talon company and selfish people like Dave...
@@brianandrew8968 YES.
The answer option for the missing wife in Broken Hills always cracked me up: "Was she a hottie with no legs?" :D
What I loved about fallout 1 and 2 is that what appears to be a simple side quest ends up railing you into the main quest this is especially true for fallout 1 with the missing caravan quest.
Agreed. They do a great job tying everything together.
Finally the appreciation this game deserves
All-time gold ngl
How much bread?
@@Hwhiskeygames2 hella. Wait ain't that a place in Greece?
Hwhiskeygames2 hella. I have spoken.
Compare this to radiant quests lol
Fallout 2 is really one of the most iconic and amazing of RPGs of all time
And i still waiting for the return of isometric RPGs
Wasteland 3 is coming soon
wasteland and disco elysium might just scratch ur itch then
Or at least a remaster of these gems.
There’s a game called atom rpg which is a post apocalyptic turn based rpg that is heavily inspired by fallout 1 and 2. It is often called the “Russian love letter to fallout”
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Shadowrun: Returns (and others, I think returns was my favourite) - THE best isometric RPGs to come out over the last 5 - 10 years.
EDIT: Also, Tyranny.
Now as amazing as Fallout 2 is, it's even better with the restoration project mod, adds a ton of great content for any classic fallout fan wanting more, not to mention all of the fan made classic fallout games like 1.5 Ressurection, Nevada, and the in progress of being translated Sonora. It's great the classics still get the love and attention they deserve.
I will be covering these bad boys. No worries.
@@TKsMantis glad to hear
@@TKsMantis yessss
Is Fallout Nevada complete and in English? Link?
See above
Fun facts: I now know that mantises kill Murder Hornets and also if quick enough will not be eaten by their mates.
We kill murder hornets.
I read that as we kill murder homies
From what I've heard, the female decapitates the male and eats their head after sex. Wild.
@@thedangboi7198 Not if you escape first BITCH
@@TKsMantis So you go for them obese mantises
I played Fallout games backward and meeting the characters from New vegas in fallout 2 felt like going back in time meeting your younger grandpa.
5:05 those dream sequences always jumpscare the shit out of me when I’m just trying to travel the wastes ):
HELLO CHOSEN!
If you finish the game and go to the Chop Shop, you can pay T-Ray to install the trunk and speed upgrades, as well as grav plates, which increase your speed further.
Those grav plates tho...
I never managed to beat this beautiful game... Perhaps I'm too young for it. Thank you for this video, Mantis.
Keep going. It's worth it.
Look at it as just another RPG or Fallout game like New Vegas, rather than some mystical and massively complex ancient relic and you'll do fine! People always big up how complicated and tough this game is because the format is unfamiliar to younger people, but just stick with it and it'll become just as good as newer RPGs (better in some areas) :D
After the first trials section it gets interesting. Too bad he didn't mention getting the Mob bosses's wives and daughters pregnant if you don't use a condom? (Trying to remember it properly it's been awhile. In and out of game. Social distancing😭). And my personal favorite, becoming a fluffer and getting poison damage afterwards. Ha priceless.
@@rob5541 If I rememeber correctly you can get Bishop's daughter pregnant, but not his wife. There is one of New Reno endings, where [SPOILER] PC's child rules New Reno [/SPOILER].
@@michamarkowski2204 haha. That's dope
I really appreciate that even after 20 years of this game's release you make content out of it. This game is simply a pure piece of art that should not be forgotten, and I really appreciate you are not letting that happen.
I've been playing this game since the early 2000s, but I only recently found out you can get grav-plates for your Highwayman in the Chop Shop if you have it stolen in the postgame. The amount of content in the game is staggering. Awesome video as always Mantis, keep it up!
Yeah it holds a ton of secrets. Thank you for watching!
The first thing I ever downloaded from the internet was a CGI animated GIF of the Enterprise flying through a nebula. It took roughly an hour. The entire thing fit on a 3.5" diskette, so it was probably under a megabyte.
Good times.
The line "This house is clean" is clearly from where it originated, Poltergeist, which was released in 1982. Without going into much detail, Tangina was tasked to retrieve Carolanne from the spirit world and remove the ghosts that haunted the home.
After doing so she stood up calmly and said one of the most famous lines of cinema.....
The reason I questioned it is because she says clean in the movie and the Chosen One says clear as Ventura does. I figured the dev team, being smartasses, decided to quote Ventura quoting Poltergeist. Just a theory.
You know, I've played this game a dozen times and always gone to Klamath first, followed by Den then Vault city, simply because that's the order the cities are on the map. I never really thought about going to Broken Hills first but it makes perfect sense. The quests are easy (ants don't do much dmg), you get a ton of exp and a decent weapon for free.
New Vegas is the only fallout to come close to the comic greatness of this game. The Stealth boy messages about sexual harassment had me rolling. Really wish Bethesda would go back to dark comedic roots. The series is at its best with open Roleplaying and dark almost sick humor.
I understand why they have cleaned it up a bit, but yes I agree. Fallout 2's humor is unmatched and New Vegas is a close second.
Bethesda didn't make 1&2. I get what you're trying to say, but Tim Cain and crew had nothing to do with Bethesda during development of the first 🕝 franchises.
Just make Obsidian and Black Isle make the new Fallout games and you're good to go
I had no idea you could actually use a car in fallout
Nothing beats a Highwayman.
@@TKsMantis Except drive-by in Scout, cruising in Hammer and popping a super mutant from main cannon of a Tank...
This is probably a weird thing to appreciate, but the towns of Fallout 2 seem so much more real, towns so long after the apocalypse would not just be metal scrap shacks and collapsing ruins as they tend to be depicted in the later games. San Francisco, New Reno, Vault City and Shady Sands all feel like places with a culture, that have been lived in for the better part of two centuries. Be it with prewar structures and roadways being maintained, or new ones being build from raw materials.
Meanwhile, compare with Novac, Primm or even Vegas from FONV, and they have piles of junk everywhere, and are nothing but poorly maintained pre-war buildings... over 200 years after the bombs dropped. It's a great game, but it seems so strange.
I still remember not playing this game for years, and finally in 2020, I saw your video on how the main quest was god-tier. I immediately was rushed with nostalgia and other emotions from my childhood, and bought the game the same day. I had a shitty Mac laptop that apparently was supposed to run dosbox, but that didn’t work, so I broke and bought a windows. Holy hell, when I popped back into arroyo and the temple, couldn’t tell you how I felt, thanks for reintroducing me back into one of the great ones.
I forgot since fallout 3 and fallout new Vegas how unique fallout 2 is compared to every other game in the series...I always loved it and now I realize why
I would love to see a fallout game in the style of kenshi with all the factions and open story.
yes
yes
yes
yes
yes
God, your channel is making me think about going back and actually trying the first two games.
That's why they sent me.
Haha, much obliged.
DO IT.
I didn't wanna play them first, cause lol it's 2D, low res, turn based fighting, ... but jesus i love those games more than anything Fallout that came after.
GunsNRoosendael Even new Vegas??
I'm surprised you didn't mention the restoration pack and the magnificent EPA map. Once you play FO2 with that pack, there's no turning back.
Your love and passion of the game makes me very happy to see I wasnt the only kid obsessed with the series 😂
We are in it together brother.
TKs-Mantis amen
13:50 hold up......is this the same family deathclaw omelette recipe and chosen one the "crazy guy that blew it's head off" that girl from the quarry in New Vegas was talking about?!
Yes, its a delibrate Callback
Marcus from Jacobstown. I like how Obsidian tied it all together.
Black Isle is Obsidian
These interesting little stories are so much more bold and funny than all the 'seriousness' in Fallout4.
I can't argue that.
The seriousness adds to the immersion in my opinion
@@rileymccreanor6492 game is "serious" but written like hot garbage
@@rileymccreanor6492 Far harbor did the complex moral situation right, but other missions are just extremely repetitive and full of loopholes/over simplification that are impossible to be taken seriously.
I didn't know I was gonna find an active fallout 2 posting channel in 2020, insta subbed just for that alone
I will cover everything I can from the classic Fallout games. They mean a lot to me.
They mean a lot to me as well even though I was late for about 2 decades to the party. Looking forward to those videos man
For me the best part of Fallout 2 are all the interconnected quests that tie into the three way NCR-Vault City-New Reno power struggle.
I have never played Fallout 2 but all the videos I have seen about it (And all the praise it has received amongst the people who also love my favorite game of the franchise, New Vegas, have recommended it and deem it THE best fallout game) makes me wanna play it so much... Time to clear one game off my Backloggery.
It is worth your time. Even if you just check out Fallout 2.
Definitely. Just be wary, the first hour is the worst part of the game.
"This house is clear" is definitely a Poltergeist reference. The Ace Ventura line was just a callback to that.
how did this dude not know this?
Fallout 3's Those! Had to be my favorite of the series. There's just something about it. Maybe it was because Fallout 3 was my first, and it was my first side quest I'd encountered..... I need to go to sleep-
I loved that quest.
Oh man, doing that sidequest in the early game suuckkedd, those ant bastards were tough.
Teop i agree with you.
Literally been binging mantis all this morning and this week, loving the content
Thanks a lot! Great to hear that you are liking the videos, Longley!
And just yesterday i was watching your "god tier" main quest of fallout 2. Thanks for uploading brother!
Nice. This is the sequel. :P
More fallout 2 content please
You got it fella.
@@TKsMantis You're doing God's work.
@@TKsMantis Thank you x
Imagine telling kids back in my day our internet was on discs. I told my little brother than once he out couldn't believe it.
I just watched your video about the original Fallout, the one about the main quest in Fallout 2 and then this one. Such great memories. Altho they're pretty different in tones, they're both awesome games and I've played the heck out of them. Good job!
I actually started playing classic fo games just a little over 2 years ago and it really was hard for me to try to get into it but what kept me in playing fo1 was the familiarity of it to new vegas like the skills, vats and the builds you could do. It was like a completely new game with something old in it. (as I started from new vegas and really liked it like 1200 hours liked it) Now I actually am playing fo2 and still havent gotten the ship to work. But really I do like what I uncovered from the past.
You remind me so much of myself. I also have been a fallout fan for years, 20 years to be exact. I have literally played Fallout 1 and 2 so many times I have lost count. To this day I can still turn on either game and be immersed in it as if it were my first time playing.
I just refinished this game. Love love love it.
I’ve played this game a million times and you still showed me quests I’ve never seen before
This was excellently made, great work as always mantis! Keep it up
Thank you Mundane! I couldn't do it without you!
16:52 I once read a story about a player that took the Jinxed trait. They entered the ring and did nothing. Each opponent knocked themselves out due to critical failures.
I did that!
loved this one man, you have a knack for this type of video essay, it was great
Thank you very much Azure!
Surprised you didn't mention the whole Vault City/raider/NCR/New Reno Bishop quest. When first I was doing it, it felt so cool. Like you would be in a conspiracy/gangster movie. And of course, also being "made" by one of the families (I always pick... Was it Wright? family bc kids. The rest gets butchered, though but fun battles (I start the fights usually by refusing to be "made".
Yeah that is one of the best. There were a couple of quests I skipped over, and this is one the top tier ones.
"This house is clean" = very decidedly a "Poltergeist" reference.
Many of the Black Isle pop culture references are nostalgic of the 80's, and this one is no exception.
I still love seeing Larry, Darryl, and Darryl in Baldur's Gate.
Larry, Darryl, and Darryl, are in a quest for a cannibal encampment in Wasteland 3 as well.
Could we get like a quick guide some point to how these old fallouts work? I’ve trying to get into them but it seems really awkward and the game doesn’t really help you
Yes. I have been thinking about that a lot lately.
They're really easy to understand
if you honestly think that theyre easy to understand stop doing drugs my man
It took me 2 hours to understand how the game works and how to play it. If your head is incapable of processing such "complex" information, then this is only your problem.
I heard of most of these locations and factions first because of HoI4, Old World Blues. Mostly just names on a map. It's cool seeing where they originated and what they look like.
Loved the video Mantis! Great content.
I'm currently playing through Fallout (1), and I cannot wait to start two. You and RadKing were a driving force behind me really wanting to try them out. I've been a huge fan of New Vegas for years.
So, I just want to say thank you.
In New Vegas you meet a women at Sloan that is related to the lady that had the deathclaw in Fallout 2. She also says it was shot by someone. So I think it supports the canon to shoot the deathclaw.
I clearly remeber the moment I realized that Vault Tec is making experiments in the vaults... I was... scared and shocked! It was 2000. 20 years after amd this is still my favourite series of all time!
I didn't start gaming until the early 2000s. But when I couldn't play console games, i was messing around on old computers and figuring out how to install even older games. This grew into a love of retrogaming once I learned about emulation and other ways of enjoying excellent older games. I'm currently playing FNV for the first time and I'm going to download FO1 and 2 soon. In no small part this is due to your videos and other people making videos about how much they like these games. Sadly I got spoiled for Fo1/2 stories a few years ago since I assumed I would never get around to playing it. With how legendary they are though I don't think having the broad storyline strokes spoiled is the end of the world!
In the intro, when you’re talking about schoolyard rumors and how hard info was to come by reminds me of that Ocarina of Time rumor where you could find the triforce in the Great Deku Tree and how much time I wasted trying to find it lol
Man these videos just take me back, thank you. I totally paid T-Ray for the upgrades and got my car back, then I killed his ass in revenge for stealing my damn car in the first place. Come to think of it I did that for most quests.
This is also my most favorite game of all time. The sheer amount of options and replayability is mind blowing still to this day. I played through this game around 6 times and still haven't seen everything. It is a pure piece of art put together with lots of love. A way of producing games which is completely lost in these more modern times where it's all about money and accessibility.
Subscribed. And I’m replaying fallout 2 now, thanks.
win-win
Thanks for your videos on Fallout!
One thing I loved that i literally discovered last week (first time fo2 player here) is that in the Golgotha graveyard one of the graves is marked Tim Caine which for those who don’t know was the main guy behind the development of the original fallout
Very dope!! Subscribed!!
The only game where I died in the tutorial several times.
awesome video mantis ! gonna run me some fallout 2 sometime soon
This video was everything I'd hoped it would be! I've gotta get a PC and Fallout 2 as soon as possible
Do it!
My favourite side quests are the Klamath ones: kill radscorpion gank, kill gecko gank twice, kill rat gank. I swear Klamath for me is Gankfuckingtown.
Also i love the Den: but a lot of its side quests are just Mr Errand Boy post apocaliptic boogaloo.
The Rat Kang
I remember the first time I did the side quest at 14:37. Made me burst out in laughter. I love this game and its humor!
I guess this my reward for pulling an all nighter! Keep up the work mantis its great content
All Nite Gang
Lmao I've been here since the shit lord builds podcast but didn't subscribe until like 3 weeks ago sorry bruv I might be a bit weird rn I just took the adrenaline fall so i m really disorganized. But for real keep it up man god loves you and now I'm gonna watch this awesome video
You deserve way more subs my guy
I really need to know how to pack a punch with a small package my wife is about to leave me thanks mantis for the example
I do my best.
give her the ole one two
I love your voice and your videos, you deserve that 40k to be quadrupled
You are too kind.
CUT. IT. OUT!
My name jeff vine compilation #13 clean edition 2016
I'd watch that all day my guy.
Wait, Francis will use your character for sex if you if you lose the arm wrestle match? Ugh, I'm glad I always won them all.
Yeah... That's his stipulation.
i lose on purpose 😩😩😩

@@Ooffoop good. now YOU can be my wife. come on. WEAR THE RING.
@@nihoa9123 *AGHHHHHH!*
Just recently I started to play this game and this video will be a good reference for me. Thank you
Good to hear!
I really do like the quests in FO2. I think my favorite are the reno city quests.
I agree, the details in everything is something that makes the game shine, it seems the creators loved their creation.
Wish I played in its hay day :P such good quests and nice video!
Thanks Nomad! You can still enjoy it today!
17:00 The perks from boxing used to be so broken, before they patched it each fight you finished would add a bunch of damage threshold and damage reduction. Having high unarmed, plated gloves and better criticals makes the fights super easy to win with head shots. Taking 1-2 buffout helps a lot too.
First time i'm being early. Love your vids man, keep at it!
Thank you very much, Cristi! I hope you liked this one!
first time im this early
Welcome!
Trying to do all of the made man quests for the new reno families before having to choose a side always sticks in my mind. Also going to the military base from Fallout 1 was a great touch too
I once accidently started a war between one of the gangs and the people on the street in New Reno.
I was trying to steal stuff from one of the bulky guards in front of one of the casinos when of course it failed and the guard turned around and spray bullets at me which all missed and hit people on the street behind me.
All the NPCs that were regular people started fighting with the gang NPCs inside the casino. I was able to just sit there and watch them rip each other apart. It made me laugh so hard.
17:04 Also during one of the fights you can get your ear bitten off by one of the boxers which brings your Charisma down one. You can get your ear back I think, but I can't remember if you can reattach it.
*taking notes for future quest writing endevours*
Oh shit, Doc Henry! Great video, Mantis.
"Expert Excrement Expeditor" was the one I was going to mention! For some reason, that one's always stuck in my mind; I think perhaps because it sums up how far they went to fill out side content, and reward the player with things other than just another new gun.
Although, the Boxing tourney in Reno was good too. Maybe I just like getting a minor (but noticable) passive benefit to character progression for completing content.
Yeah I bring up both in the video. Great quests.
12:23
It's definitely a reference to poltergeist considering that well you are dealing with a ghost
Oh man what a blast from the past.
I could tell you my life story about fallout 1 and fallout 2 “a post nuclear role playing game 😋” but il be honest you have just done it for me we could talk fallout for hours days months and I’d still be finding new things on every play through ☺️
One of my favorite quests is in Modoc, which is a super difficult, investigative, diplomatic affair. Yes, I'm talking about the Slags. My favorite things about it is that the quest giver, the mayor flat out LIES to you about having information about the GECK. He says that he does it out of desperation. How mad your character is about it all is completely up to you.
Yes indeed. I included that quest in this video as it is one of my favorites as well.
That's why I always take his finger. Always.
Great video as always:)
Are you my Goth GF now?
TKs-Mantis haha lol the user name/channel was created in high school. I’m a filmmaker now but this is my backup channel that I use to watch personal videos not filmmaking related. But yes I was like super goth a few years back.
the quirks in Fallout 2 that are relating to the quests is what makes it so entertaining. there really is very few 'dry' quests out there.
Love the instrumental opening rendition of "Kiss to Build A Dream On" - was that something you found or made?
Groovy video as always, keep it up my friend
It is by Hugo Winterhalter's Orchestra and Chorus. Recorded in 1952.
@@TKsMantis is it one of those rare gems of a song you can add to a video without being demonitized or getting a strike? I'm looking for a decent into song for intros to a fallout series I'll be releasing soon
@@Kaldobsky This site is a good resource: archive.org/details/audio
Most songs released before 1950 are safe because the license has run out on them. An easy way to do it is to find the obscure original recordings of these songs as most songs recorded back then were covers or the new artist bought the song to add to their repertoire. Most of the OG recordings do not get tagged on YT like the version of Kiss to Build a Dream On in this video. Obviously, Louis Armstrong's will get tagged instantly.
@@TKsMantis as F2 is my favorite game, I find this to be some good news - the rendition you have here is pretty good. Very cheery and fitting with the fallout vibes. So usage of the song seems to be a ok? Or just flys under the radar enough to get a pass? Either way hopefully it works for me too! Thanks for the info
I love how portrayed new Reno. It's just like real Reno.
I got a low end pc recently I can only play games from 2012 and earlier the go fallouts where ones I was thinking about but now %100 I’m getting these games
I hope that in a future game we get a callback to Typhon's bottlecap quest, being given obsolete currency from NCR (like the coins from F2 - perhaps by >2281 they are obsolete as we only see paper in NV, or perhaps Legion Denarii after the legion collapse (but that makes less sense as legion coins are precious metals I believe)).
Having 10,000 caps as a reward in F2 has always been on of my favourite jokes.
Honestly the shift from Fallout 1 to 2 was awesome. I had a lot of fun with 1 but I never felt interested in doing the side missions. They were there, I guess, but the timer made me feel like I had to get the main story done quickly and I didn’t realize how much time I really had to screw around. Then by the time Unity is introduced, it seems like such a big deal that no side mission can come close to it.
In 2, I completely forgot that I was looking for the G.E.C.K. I became so immersed in the world that I forgot I had a mission, like in New Vegas or Oblivion. I just wanted to see what was in that corner of the map I never explored, or what would happen if I took out a New Reno family, or who I should give the Vertibird plans to
