as a person who loves Diablo and and dislike D&D rule RPGs is Fallout a good choice?

i mainly want a good action along with a good story that makes u go fearther.

Fallout is more like the D&D games than diablo. It's tactical turn-based combat which is way slower than diablo. Fallout 1 & 2 are great games though, and not full of gay elves

yes, yes, a million times yes. well, you won't find action, action. it's more tactical, if you can call it that (turn-based). but it's not d&d and it's got a great story.

As much as I love Fallout 2 and Diablo - for you...no. Fallout 2 is loosely based on D&D rules and definitely not as fast-paced as Diablo as it's turn-based.

Fallout 2 is a great game and a classic, but only get it if you like old style turn based RPGs, and can put up with the dated graphics.

Fallout 2 is an excellent game, if you just like mindless hack n' slash, i recommend you to stay away, however, if you like extremely tactical combat, a great story and dialogue, and the postapocalyptic thing, you will be pleased

Fallout 2 is one of the all-time greatest games, and finishes highly in just about every 100 greatest PC games lists.

You owe it to yourself to play this game.

It has a lot more adventure and RPG elements than Diablo, which was really just point and click with almost no talking. Most people reading this topic probably own and love both games.

Actually, get Fallout 1 first and bear with the graphics. Then, go get Fallout 2. Great series.

Actually, if you play fallout 2 you will forget Diablo. It's the best RPG ever!!!! If you can pass the turn based combat and the old graphics, an amazing story waits you. Plus you are absolutely free to do what ever you want in the game. It's not linear as Diablo and it is RPG, while Diablo is action-RPG.Have fun.

Fallout 2 is one of the best games ever made and IMO the best PC RPG ever. As long as you can bear the dated graphics(It took me some time to get used to it as well) You'll love it. That is if you like turn based RPG's.

.....It's just too bad beth is about to ruin this great series with fallout 3....

You can get Fallout 1 and 2 on DVD for 19.99... and Fallout 1 is just as enjoyable as Fallout 2 so they are both worth playing.

If you get Fallout 2 you'll probably be like me and end up getting the White Label version (UK) and you will have Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics.

Fallout 2 is a great game. One of the best games of all time. I think that pretty much covers it.

If you can find it, buy it. I'm still tempted to buy a copy when I see if and I already have it.
