    Is anyone else loving how it's impossible to go anywhere in New Vegas without seeing anything that is somehow related to Fallout 1 or 2? Cassidy, Great Khans, quiz about NCR history, the music, it's all making me go insane. 
     
    It's almost like they're trying to get the hardcore RPG fans to like this game.

    Is it wrong though? It's the same guys from Black Isle anyways. Nice little nod i guess.
     
    You want to know who tried too hard? Bethesda stuffing poor old Harold in F3.

    Fallout 2 was already super in-jokey considering it was only the second one in the series. Anyone else have the problem where you can tell there is a reference but it's been so long since you played the first two you have to check the wiki figure out what they are calling back to?

    This all makes me so disappointed I've never played the first 2 Fallout games. Darn it, man. They need to bring them to XBLA. I'd totally buy them both.

    In Fallout 3 that's all they did.
     
    -"I don't want to set the world on fire" being the song they wanted to get for Fallout 1 and failed to. And they also used "Maybe"
    -GNR, GNN was seen at the start of Fallout
    -Old pals like Dogmeat and Harold.

    Any old ass cheap computer or laptop will play it, you could probably find something under a $100 or just borrow one from somebody.

    They're about $12 for both on Good Old Games, and probably just as cheap on Steam or something else.  I wanted to play them, as well, just never got around to devoting the time to them.  They're also a slight deviation from Fallout 3, which was the first one I played, so I probably wasn't in the right mindset to play them when I tried the first time.

    @Tennmuerti: Yup.  And I was following up with the cost for software on top of that. 
     
    But I realize now how what I said could be seen as replying that you were implying that the original games were $100.

    Problem is the UI hasn't aged that well. Playing those games is a chore. 
     
    They're great otherwise, I just keep getting annoyed at how you play them.

    True but you aren't getting the real fallout experience if you don't take that perk ;p
