"Welcome to Camp Navarro. So, you're the new replacement... You are out of uniform, soldier! Where is your power armor? Don't have any? You expect me to believe that, maggot? The truth is you lost an expensive piece of army-issue equipment. That suit is going to come out of your pay, and you will remain in this mans army until you are five hundred and ten years old, which is the number of years it will take for you to pay for a Mark II Powered Combat Armor you have lost! Report to the armory and have a new suit issued to you, then report back to me, private! Dismissed!" Be honest, you read it in sarge's voice, didn't ya ;)

a -s h i t s t а i n- on the first game's tighty whities. no quest will ever be counted as completed, unless completed perfectly, exactly as the game expects you to; you will NEVER have the option to negotiate the price of any job, bribe or deal, no matter how high your barter skill is; the combat system is somehow made even more retarded than it was in fallout 1, bundle that with a billion DEBILITATING bugs, combat or otherwise, a whole lot of which not even present in the first game; the fact that there is no easy way to aquire a ranged weapon for like the first two hours of the game, unlike fallout 1, where you were given one immediately and had the freedom to choose which combat style you preferred, as well as the braindead decision to have this game's stimpak substitute ACTIVELY hinder your combat abilities even further than they already are, and you get fallout 2, which i assume was a type of "♥♥♥♥ you" to all the people who enjoyed the first game, epitomised perfectly by tandi's character, a chipper, young, more-than-capable companion during the events of the first game, turned old decrepit hag, incapable of wiping her own ass.
speaking of, the hotheaded and helpful tandi has also been very fittingly replaced with fallout 2's fat and retarded companions, mainly vic, who serves as the introduction to the mechanic in this game, and both of them make for a perfect conclusion to this game's description:
fallout 2 is old, fat and retarded, and you would be better off playing ANY of the bethesda knockoffs, as even those serve as a better continuation of the series rather than this piece of ♥♥♥♥. thank you.

I love it
