Being a tad disappointed my copy of Fallout didn't come with an actual manual, I went headstrong into Fallout thinking I could use 2010 logic on a 1997 game. Boy, was I wrong. Fallout has a rather unique movement system that I have never seen a game before. Left click equals movements, unless you right click, then it becomes your eyes.(from as far as I can tell) The graphics really don't bother me as much if it wasn't for the weird color problems I get. (Running it on Windows 7) It truly made watching the intro movie seem more antiquated than it was attempting to be.
 
I spent a good 30 minutes creating my own character. Caligula. Since losing 50 hours of my life to Demon's Souls, I feel that the "digital life" of Caligula should follow me from her travels in an incredible dark world as Boletaria to the weird world of Shady Sands. I had a genuine smile from staring at each of the Vault Boy art assets. After showing my girlfriend, it led to a small quarrel if that's where the band Fallout Boy got their name. I've never listened to them, but I suspect she has. Nevertheless, I truly feel that all I did was click several buttons and hope for the best since I really don't know what the gameplay implications are of my choices. Hopefully, Caligula could sweet talk her way out of a gun(spoiler :  she didn't) or else I'm screwed. 
 
After learning how to wield the mouse a bit, and also having the colors go black for no reason, I realized that punching rats was a way to level up. I spent about a good twenty minutes punching and running away from rats till I discovered the exit which led me to Vault 15. To which one question quickly led me to Shady Sands. While in Shady Sands, I discovered several things. Set the options to always run, the game stops becoming a thirty minute wait for Caligula to reach the end of the screen. Secondly, though there's forty people in the village of Shady Sands, everyone seems to say the same thing and have the same name(outside of the leader). Lastly, a two headed cow is the most disturbing amalgamation of things to farm I've seen in a game thus far.
 
As Caligula was getting her way around town, she seems to attract hatred and odd amount of concern from everyone. Everyone perceives her to be a raider, but then equally want to heal her up. The town leader gave a rather odd blase approach to security mainly just accepting everything at face value. I believe he gave me a quest which was to save the town from raiders or Rad Scorpions. I then discovered the save feature, which would be vital when I decide to go to the Rad Scorpions and get stung instantly. So I reload quickly and decide to go the raiders. I found their leader and proceeded to question their leader about his morals which laterally made me question the state of video games. As I proceed to see through raiders "PR speak", I was unaware he was not having it. Equally, I was unaware that he did not have it to the point that he pulled out a gun, shot Caligula, cue skeletons in the desert. 
 
While this is quite a very interesting game, I wonder how much I'm mentally capable to adapt to the games old structure.
