    Fun fact I been using some variant of vaultdweller 13 as a username since I was 12 since I played NV fell in love and then played 1 and 2 and got an isometric rpg addiction. Sadly unlike other classic Fallout fans I am neither a Slavic millennial or trans so I have little to distract from the isometric rpg withdrawal symptoms.

      Atom RPG, wasteland 3, etc. Not as old school isometric, but the vibe is almost there. I do miss the quirky humor, though. It is a shame the TV show is as campy as it is. Fallout 4 was all the dumb mechanics that weren’t the game. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll ever get a NV2 or the vibe of NV set in a different location.

        Too late played through those games, I require more. I’ve also played through Wasteland 1 in a deluded fevor state when I got covid.

        Also yeah I doubt we’ll ever get a NV again especially with how Bethesda seems dead set on doubling down on the camp, which is honestly a shame because for all its flaws Fallout 3 has a pretty good balance of goof and grimness. Maybe we could get something akin to that if Owlcat were to make a post apocalyptic game since they do 40k pretty well without too much grimderp encroachment. Also play Roguetrader and Wrath of the Righteous if you haven’t, real fucken solid games and don’t worry about the devs being Russian they fucked off to Cyprus early in the war.
