Hello my fellow Codexers!
To celebrate the work of the english patch for The Fall: The last Days of Gaia i decided to start one of those fancy Let`s Play! -Threads. My version that i`ll use in this thread is in german and costs here around 10 Euros. It is obvious that a lot of the inspiration for this game comes from Fallout! Of course it won`t reach the greatness of a one-time-wonder but let`s try to find out if it`s RPG-worthy! (fun fact: i use exclamation marks for the same fact that Pete H. uses immersive in every second sentence)
One last thing,
I have never read any review about it or saw a lot of videos/screenshots about this game.
This means i don`t know the outcome, if it should be called "The Fall" or "The Fail"
I`ll try to play it unbiased. *cough*
The game starts off with the standard "New game" button. It wants to know how you want to look in the game world.
You can choose a face out of various female or male, black or white avatars. I picked some cool-looking guy.(see avatar on next screen)
Welcome to the world of the Fall. This right here is my character and he hasn`t a name or character skill points yet. In front of me i see some kind of city build around a concrete wall. From the intro i have learned that all of his parents were killed by bandits and that he wants REVENGE so he wants to join "THE NEW GOVERNMENT" which has sworn to get rid of those bandits.
From the RPG bible, choose the mainplot:
1. Find the Waterchip.
2. Shipwrecked.
3. Find your father.
4. Revenge. (check)
(What you see here is called charismatic sneaking):
I made myself comfortable with the game.(Whoever quotes this is too predictable) It find out that the you can stand, duck or lie down and the inventory. Inadvertently i clicked on my jacket and boots and he stood there half-naked. Of course i have done this only to test out if this game has any choices and consequences to the reaction of those manly soldiers. Guess what, they treated me like they see half-naked men every day. I`m starting to believe that they do. A creepy feeling crawls my back as i enter the town.
This is how Fallout 3 would like like without the bloom, HDR and whatnot.
Hey, which bastard photographed me?! I was just doing the necessary thing to survive in this cruel world and ...to suck out answers.
For a short moment i think this is a concentration camp and a fuhrer nazi is speaking through the loudspeaker. Somebody just died, probably a bandit who was beheaded.
This is the fuhrer eh pressident of this camp ehm.. town. Nice jacket.
Dialoge trees, baby!
Translation kinda:
1. "Hey yo wassup, did you just seriously beheaded the guy?"
2. Uhm excuse me my excellence.. are you the new president?"
3. "Iif you are this so called new president then i`ll turn this place into a monarchy
and make myself the king."
4. "Sorry, gotta go. Bye!"
I picked the second question, i didn`t wanted to make the fuhrer angry.
He tells me that i need a passport from Lucas when i want to become a soldier.
Of course there is always another "faster" way to become a soldier.
ARRr!!! Sailing through the wasteland like a real pirate.
No Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reference.
He is just stating the obvious "This is a gully deckel."
-1 Point from me.
I enter the building where i meet L-L-l-ucas. (no offense)
I don`t know how old that game is but those graphics look decent! I`m enjoying them.
The graphical interface could use some update with more rust.
The inventar.
So t-T-talk to Lucas (no offense) and he tells me that i need to fill out this paperclip.
Wow! This reminds me very much on Fallout. The SPECIAL system, the different skills to
choose from. However i decided that i want to play a balanced character for my first
playthrough. Things start to get look better RPG-wise. Next one.
I leave the building and the Fuhrer wants to talk to me again. (scripted cutscene kicks in)
His last words before i can explore the shit out of the game world:
"Eine one more thing. Never forget for whom do you arbeit for and for what you are standing for!
As Soldat of the "Government of the New Order" it is your duty to help people. The people
will talk to you, you are a respect person ja. Don`t forget that. Jawohl!"
That game actually takes place in America.
Why do i get the feeling that i won`t be allowed to shoot anybody that i want?
The adventure begins! Bear with me!
Next up:
-More iso-screenshots!
-Bigger resolution pictures, less kb! (still have to figure it out)
-Epic adventures with the half-naked man called Alec!
