Where to get started with Fallout


Pick a Fallout, any Fallout. (But pick Fallout: New Vegas)

My one hour got me through the Goodspings questline, fending off a gang of bandits to increase my standing with the townsfolk and another faction waiting for me in the eponymous New Vegas settlement. Making bullets, armor, food, or weapons on the fly is fine — though I think the spirit of Fallout is better served by scavenging the items you need to survive — but base-building is a bit too much. I’m in the wasteland to loot shit and find my son, not spend way too much time in menus, sorting through schematics, and tinkering with literal building blocks.
