Vault 101 (Fallout Thread)
Method of Madness:
Interesting! Are the two connected, or does it not matter if I play 1 or 2 first?
Neko_Ali:
That I can't really answer, as I've never finished either of them. They are different stories, different characters and all of that. You start off from different vaults. But there may be some interconnection later on. 2 is not a continuation of 1 though.

Turn based combat on a hexagonal grid. You could look at some images or check out some let's plays on youtube.
They're pretty good. Obsidian has always been at their best when they got to write big stories in big worlds. They've got a lot of details that is reminiscent of the olden days - primarily in that they kinda expect you to have a paper manual to give you a grip of the controls. Also, unlike FO3 and NV, you can definitely mess up on character creation, and end up with a bad character. So if you're playing them for the first time, ask a friendly neighbour for some general tips (don't go looking at guides if you don't want stuff spoiled!)
Warning while the world turned, 3 new realities has emerged. You may wish to embrace the new world order.
They're related - the second one is set some 80-100 years after the first one, with a partially overlapping area and some characters returning (ghouls and super mutants, they're the only ones that live as long). The little town you get to in the start of the first game is the centre of a little nation in the second (one that grows to become the New California Republic central to New Vegas), and the events of the first game are (vaguely) remembered and mythicized.
Gameplay-wise they are very similar - the technological leap from 1 to 2 is about the same as from 3 to NV. The great jump in the series is from 2 to 3, with 10 years between them (1998 to 2008). Both should be played with the restoration mods (Fallout Update mod and Fallout 2 restoration projects), that brings back content that was planned, and put on the disc, but was cut due to lack of time.
