I think ghouls desire to become humans again makes more sense in context of first game, when they could barely walk, their bodies were falling apart and they slowly go into insanity. Now been a ghoul just makes you ugly and immortal, plus apperently you don't need to eat or drink anymore.
@Peach Papaya u could say that ghouls need air mabye he packed food bc he likes food and died from specifically the lack of air. Even in newer Fallouts they need to breathe as the Ghouls that go up in the ships need space suits
Fallout 3 and 4 and sadly even New Vegas (though I still love the game) have really ruined ghouls, specifically pre-war ghouls. In the first two games a pre-war ghoul was exceedingly rare and had mystique and wonder surrounding them, now there's so many that there's absolutely nothing special about meeting one.
your game analysis deserves to be on this platform a lot more than most - your work says something about these works that hasn't been said, and granting popularity to these mods is very community-focused content. I only found your channel with your Deus Ex video, but you're already among the best on the platform in this 'genre.'
I played this mod twice all the way through. In my opinion, it belongs on the shelf with 1 and 2. Fantastic. Just. Fucking. Great. As a bonus, it also has probably the worst and most shocking evil roleplay options I have ever seen, in any game, period.
Ugh, the one in the first town... And that's just the tip of the iceberg. But yeah- it's not grimderp. It's how things would work in a post apo world, as realistic as the Threads movie- callous, vile and disgusting... If you choose to become such a character.
Great mod, the only bad thing I remember about it is the main villan, this guy almost killed climax of the game for me. I mean, seriously, mutant hunter that went crazy and decided to end all mutation by killing everyone who didn't get mutated? This is some Bethesda quality writting and main plot before that revelation was quite good, better then Nevada or Olympus at least.
I got pretty dissapointed when I was revealed to be a ghoul and more so when the ending suggests that I want to kill myself. But until then, the main quest was great.
@@demonspawn5164 I actually like this ending, it's nice call back to depressing end of F1, plus game already tells you that you have only few months to live, so it wasn't surprise for me.
Finally some love for Fallout 1.5! This mod is criminally underrated. Hell, it's not even a mod- it's a full game and a work of love. If kids were raised with this much love and thought, the Earth would be a paradise! Just go and play it if you haven't, fellow viewer- they don't make them like this these days. Oh and it's dark. Very dark. And hard- though if you're a hardcore Fallout player, you won't have trouble with it.
I had no idea that there was even a fallout 1 and 2 modding community before your videos, let alone these ambitious full conversions. Thanks for making these videos
Was waiting for you to cover this mod. Honestly, judging by the popularity and release date it should've been one the first to get a review. Anyway, great video as always. Personally, I've stumbled upon this mod after Nevada (the old 0.90-ish versions with one of the more ridicilous iterations of it's plot and other weird stuff that was later put into chaos build of the mod) and it felt a tad luckluster. Atmosphere was definitely closer to F1 but alas it just wasn't my cup of tea.
Great video as always man, keep the content coming. Really enjoyed the Dues Ex video too, I'm sure it takes a lot of effort to make such a long video but it was an awesome watch.
Missed opportunity to name your character Atanazy Pernach. I liked the twist. My visit in the Rat Hole weapon store was unforgettable experience... "Died in the first fight" was that Steam review for some "not for mindless casuals" game or Age of Decadence trailer? Probably both...
Thank you for your great content, druzhe. Btw, I'm wondering whether or not you will cover Underrail, because your channel seems to attract all sorts of RPG and Slavjunk stuff. Just curious.
Love the videos man. You've put me on to quite a few mods I never would have given the time to as so many seem shallow and empty, i usually brush over these types in favor of just modding vanilla gameplay. On an semi-related note, I'd love to see a video from you regarding The Nameless Mod for Deus Ex. I played it through back in 2012 or so and have vague but fond memories of well-designed levels and fun missions all in a unique world. I'd love to see a deep dive video in your style and see if it meshes with my memories of playing. Thanks for the great content!
"Why russians have this affinity for classic Fallout?" Have you ever seen russian suburbia? Especially around the times classic Fallout nad been released.
9:25 Oh yeah, from a game perspective, there's nothing wrong with how Skyrim does things. It's just weird that a relatively normal part of the world, a place that's supposed to rival the power of Morrowind, is set up like a post-apocalyptic wasteland, just with more trees. Unless the draugr and bandits are what have been fighting the Great Houses for the past 1000 years, it's a wonder Skyrim hasn't become Redoran's backyard. It's not like the borders matter that much, Dres once owned a 4th of Blackmarsh. But keep in mind, Skyrim the game is surrounded by 4 major Fallout titles (Fallout 3, New Vegas, 4, and 76). It's hardly a surprise it reflects Fallout given that. Heck back then we still had ideas for TES VII, stuff like TR or BS were barely given a second thought. Times have changed.
I played Resurrection with a small guns build not realising the end game was dozens of goons in power armour. My little shotgun didn't do shit and I had to abandon the run.
Since you mentioned NWN in this video you should give one of the better NWN1-Mods a shot like Swordflight, Salerons Gambit or Almraiven which is especially RP-heavy.
Fallout: Ressurection is by far the darkest story and world in the games I've played before. It really felt like everybody were bad guys in the game. And my character too. Generally speaking after my completion of the game all of the region got obsolete and depopulated.
Czech - weed is legal=plot better than F3 (and 4) Russia - country of potato juice = best fallout experience besides F1 and F2. EUROPE biggest stoners and alcoholics can do better game about post apo usa than usa... What a time to be alive.
I think this is no mystery. Between 90's collapse and modern day autocracy, many... probably most of us Russians feel like our lives are ruined, so we try to overcome this by playing grim post-apocalyptic games like Fallout or Dystopian like Beholder. Also nostalgia is a huge factor in all of this course for many growing-up 90's kids Fallout is also "game of the childhood" and thus "reminder of simplier times".
For me 90s felt kinda postapocalyptic. No nostalgia, though. While we harvested fun from any piece of junk we could find and dismantle, while walking through never finished construction sets, 90s sucked hard, unless you were rich kid from a big city.
Resurection does kind of botch its end-twist from just how rushed and abrupt it is, but I find it thematically puissant. The Mutant Hunter's create an genocidal Nazi-esque society. Yet that very same ideology eventually spreads to the very population they're attempting to exterminate (in a very literal way since the Ghouls leader is an deranged ex-Hunter). The Ghoul ideology is a lot more Messianic in its character... yet fundementally it enables them to organize militarily on a grand scale and seriously threaten humanity. This turns an already bloody racial conflict downright infernal in its scope. Its a nice twist on the old: "evil only creates more evil" idea. I also think that the Hunter/Ghoul conflict gave Resurection a very strong central-core which, say, Nevada lacked. Personally, one of my favorite parts of the mod was the relationship between the Imperial City and the Mutant Hunters, which barely gets mentioned in this vid. The Imperial companion-character's plotline is even more abrupt than the main plotline though. You're tasked with finding her hero-brother who mysteriously walked out into the wasteland for some reason and then... well, he's dead! No grand mystery there he's just dead! :D
The main plotline being so fucking abrupt was really surprising. They just straight up told instead of showing, about 80% of what is going on in your personal story, all in one go.
@@darkfippy Honestly, the most surprising thing I've learned playing a bunch of mods is that skilled writers are somehow less common than skilled coders. :D
35:15 The Rebirth ending is kinda disappointing and brief all things considered. U can join up with the Saviour again and in a cutscene it reveals with your inside knowledge of Albuquerque’s defence, u and the ghouls penetrate the defences and capture tons of humans, but as a result a stray bullet kills u in the process. The Saviour then declares the 13th Reborn as a war hero amongst the Rebirth, and the Rebirth with its supply of humans becomes such a force of power that they end up clashing with the NCR years later. Anyway awesome review, now all that’s left is FO Nevada
Fun fact about the Mutants Rising mod: One of its talking heads was used for John Cassidy in the Fallout 2 Restoration Project, and it fooled a lot of people, and most notably the Cutting Room Floor wiki and the Fallout fan wiki, into thinking it was an official talking head that went unused. And then the design become somewhat official when it was used as the basis for his character card in the official Fallout board game, alongside other cards based on Fallout 1 and 2 companions.
"Everybody is very rude" The Czechs would call that neutral but you do you. However the Dobrý deň is notably absent before the ensuing "fuck you." Must have been lost in translation.
As a Czech gamer I was able to enjoy this mod on release and loved it. I also have some obvious bias since our small country does not produce many games. But when it does, it's usually a banger: - Mafia 1 - Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Arma 3 - Samorost - Vietcong - Operation: Flashpoint - Fallout: Resurrection ;) - Hobo: Tough Life :D - Beat Saber (not exactly a food for thought, but a nice alternative to actually going outside :D) Thanks for making a video on F: R. Please, never change. Love from Czech Republic
"I know it's immersion breaking..." Speak for yourself! I, for one, can totally imagine your character just walking into a casino and the owners instantly beginning to profusely sweat as you drain their slots machines for the tenth day in a row.
Real casino owner would accuse your character of cheating, have him beaten to bloody pulp by his goons and banned from his casino forever just to be sure.
@@petrolakLike how in New Vegas at some point they just ban you from gambling. You can still visit the place, you can still get drinks and stuff, but no fun for you. Which feels oddly civilized for the kind of world Fallout takes place in. But then ,they also take your guns. If you're just the meanest mofo around, with protection of the local authority, they can't do anything. There comes the untouchable sob that keeps breaking the bank again and again.
@@HappyBeezerStudiosthey want normal people to come gamble, but they need to stop losing money. Killing someone for winning would scare off the normal people. To be profitable they kind of need to be civil.
@@petrolakthey would parade you around for being a big winner and give you a bunch of free stuff then stop you from playing. Showing others that there can be a big winner is a huge motivator for the rubes.
Great things Czech acomplished: -Beaten Europe's strongests army during the Hussite wars -Gave a word to the act of throwing someone from a window -Pistols and shit -Fallout: Resurrection 1.5
Gonna say this mod doesn't hold its punches in the darkness department, racism, child murder/rape, genocide. I argue at times it's a little darker than Fallout 1 defiantly 2. Hell, the ending is more depressing than Fallout 1, at least the Vault Dweller founded a village in the end. This feels like a painful transition from 1 to 2.
I'd say darker than both. In Fallout they still had to deal with public cenorship- here it's not the case. Stuff like rape, sexual coercion, child abuse and murder, genocidal racism and many others would not go through even in Fo1. Fallout 1 was bleak, but this thing is just straight up vile. And nothing of the vileness is out of place within the world, which makes it even more bleak than Fallout imo.
To be fair many people in the west never experienced uncensored F1 & 2 sine right after release there was a patch to remove child-characters from the game and tone down/remove many of the gory death animations if I remember correctly. Replaying Fallout many years later and not only finding out the the reason your caps are vanishing in the Hub is because of the urchins but also being able to reverse pickpocket those little shits with nades was beyond satisfying.
[Bursts into truly Homeric laughter, that's followed by a veritable river of tears and finally ends in wicked, almost animalistic shout in Slavic accented English] how ABOUT BEINGINSPIREDBY REAL! LIVE!! EVENTS!!!!
@@PobortzaPl *Rubs herculean chin and raises one thick, bushy, and incredibly masculine brow. A gruff, philosophically questioning "Hmmm.." escapes my perfectly carved lips, like earthshaking rolling thunder. One single drop of sweat runs down my grizzled brow, until it leaps towards the ground in a suicidal charge. The sound of the poor droplet slamming towards the dirt, breaks the silence between the two of us. My endlessly wise and comforting glance shoots up and finally stare into yours. The word painfully erupts from my gull, my breath no longer comforting. I stoically continue, till it fills your ears. You're temporarily deafened by the splendor of the word, but you slowly gain your hearing. ayonima
@@stevovimy Actually living in so called "transitional period" was kind like post apocalypse and it happened across all of former Soviet Bloc. It was not just "people losing jobs" but "job place no longer exists". It was hyperinflation and people getting close to actual barter or using fuel and alcohol as substitute currency.
@@stevovimy Mhhhm nope. Try searching "Shock therapy reforms" and its effects on Russian economy and population's well being, as well as what Russia turned out to be under capitalism today.
Oh boy, another one already? As for builds that cheese the game? I think they can have their own kind of fun for a play through…I don’t use them all the time, but sometimes it’s just fun to wreck game systems for the lulz. Given your fondness for Morrowind, I figured you’d probably sometimes engage in it as well lol
Your reviews are a real blessing. I'm capable of deep immersion into the entertainment piece, but a rare one holds much depth or is engaging enough for my ADHD brain to really enjoy. Yours are something that makes me fully immersed into the game and world you present. Great video once again. Btw, have you heard of Death Trash? It seems relevant given the games you're interested in, although not yet finished. I would describe it as real-time Fallout 1? It feels similar to how I remember Fallout anyways. Except for combat ofcourse.
I've left a comment before about your output but i seriously can't get over it. Every time I get the notification i'm floored. Do you, like, time travel or something? The video is great btw, makes it even more nutso bonkers. Looking forward to when you review mods that haven't even been started by their developers yet
@@jehovasabettor9080 My grandparents considered themselves Slavs but I have no idea what the proper dividing line for that is. I believe Bohemia was considered a slav kingdom in the middle ages.
Something I found interesting, the narrator for most of the intro movies for the Fallout games is of course Ron Perlman. In Mutants Rising, for their intro movie it shows some cavemen, one of the images of which is a still from Quest for Fire. 37:52 The caveman on the far right is played by Ron Perlman.
Oh god I miss JA2 so badly. It just has this perfect je ne sais quois to it that makes it work so well and all the other tactical turn based rpgs lack. Video on JA2(1.13) when?
Very often people confuse it with F:Restoration and ignore. Also considering that "1.5" in the title could mean it's the rework of the original. Bad marketing. What a shame.
Incredible video as always. I've been meaning to check out this mod ever since the english translation came out but never could find the time. Might finally give it a spin after seeing you and ramblelime cover it. The Jagged Alliance 2 mention warmed my heart. Would love to see a video on it as it stands with Fallout 1/2 as a cherished part of my childhood and is one of a handful of games I constantly revisit.
I think most russian people didn't have good pc's in the 2000's and early 2010's so they played older games that are easy to run, that's my guess for the russian modding scene of classic fallouts.
You ask why russians love fallout? Because russians love misery. It reminds them of their life. or something. I should stop writing so much comments. I just love to respond to your video D:
I love the style of your play where sometimes you say screw this I hate this town or this person and just kill them or leave and it leaves content undiscovered for those that may play it in the future. The normal approach would be some perfect playthrough featuring all content and I think this is a really interesting approach and also closer to what a normal playthrough would look like
I'm so happy to see Fallout games where the ghouls are their own factions with their own goals and not just set dressing in 3 or 4. It makes a lot of sense to me that in a game where life would be short from radiation and starvation people would flock to someone from the old world who literally has not died, just out of the forlorn hope they could somehow achieve that too. Like the Master, but if they were powerful simply because they knew how humans worked and used it to their advantage.
Yeah, Bethesda is kinda flat with their sandbox. One of my favorite places to visit in New Vegas is Jacobstown. Seeing a thriving community of super mutants that is just there, doing it's business, not harming anyone. Just being another village. And meeting Marcus again. And a ghoul faction absolutely makes sense. looked down up in many places they would decide to create their own place, with their own goals.
Another quality video for another quality mod. I'd say that it's the most high quality mod for FO2 available in English right now, in terms of pacing and gameplay however the larger projects you've covered that come from the East make this pale in comparison. Nevertheless when I first played it it was a nice breath of fresh air
Great video as usual, love your Fallout stuff. The frog-snake joke was perfect for the techno xenophobes fighting somewhat underwritten kidnappers. I wonder how much of story content was cut by mod developers purely out of scripting/mapping complexity, unwillingness to spend too much extra time on all of that, and, really, late understanding of boundaries of the project. Like a real year for an extra location and 30-60 minutes of story in the late game (with even bigger boss and the proper motivation behind the Cult of course) probably isn't worth it. At least we have a finished mod, and not just another "wow, we've already burned out every scripter in our team and entire community, and we are only 14 years in and 36% complete". On a different note, regarding post credit scene rant: our daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our haircuts. Especially since they're such good size and all.
