Baldur's Gate series and Underrail.Name one.
FO simply has that certain "je ne sais quoi"; Call it soul, taste, style, 1+1=3, whatever, it's there. It's why the greats are the greats.

UnderrailName them.
Shouldn't have said many because there haven't been many isometric RPGs that have been released. Regardless, Underrail and the Baldur's Gate series are what immediately come to mind.Name them.
Hint: companionsThese really aren't great examples to show that Fallout does 'nothing special'. You're probably better off picking out individual parts of FO's design and showing why they are flawed, or why another game did it better, though that would be a different kind of debate.

Do you even play Fallout 3? In Fallout 3 you kill black power armor guy, not hulk clones.I talk the boss into killing himself without stealth. I simply kill all the hulk clones on the base and when I met their boss somehow there's a dialogue option to make him kill himself. Fuck off.
Indeed, it's one of the most strange parts of Fallout 3...
Jagged Alliance 2 *may* be better at most(all? ) of that. And even has the best combat to boot.Can someone please explain to me what it is that Fallout does and why it does it better than any other RPG?
A game where the entire world is hypothetically open to you at the start with content gated by combat encounters, where you travel from social hub to social hub, talking to people at each of them, doing favors, using yer non-combat skills where applicable, and occasionally (but optionally) taking sidetrips to more combat- and/or exploration-oriented areas.
I haven't seen anybody mentioned it yet, so let me.Can someone please explain to me what it is that Fallout does and why it does it better than any other RPG?

Night Goat defected to Discord (lol the "Codex" version of Discord) a while ago and any time I ask him about coming back to Codex he and everyone else there, in unison and in perfect harmony, start chanting "FUCK CODEX". It's pretty weird.

Anyway I just had some awesome pizza from Mountain Mike's.

"Fallout 1 fans bullied me as a child"
"I touch myself playing Fallout 3"

Newtards like this idiot are becoming more and more common. Along with that other moron mhfkefmkfmkf. You made a whole thread about the guy. Add to that the codex's idiotic stance on JRPGs that are tons more fun than some shitty copy of IE games. It's no wonder people just leave in disgust.
Whoever uses this retarded meme, no matter if seriously or not, should be flogged.boomer gamers
This is without a doubt a mayor shining point, always loved how you can get descriptions of pretty much everything on screen. I have long since given up on any game doing it like that instead of a few "hotspots" here and there.Fallout 1/2 where, if you right-click on objects on screen like NPCs and environment
Is there a sub-forum somewhere in the codex, named the shitdex where you coordinate to create a new "let's trash fallout when we're bored" thread every 2 or 3 weeks ?
You sure talk a lot for a little bitch that had to self-eject because he couldn't properly prioritize his life. When you get drunk, you think about the Codex for some retarded reason. When I get drunk, I'm looking through bitch's instas to get my dick wet. If only you took people trashing your shit life as up the ass as you do people talking bad about a fucking video game. Maybe than you wouldn't be such an abject failure.So like...is this ItsChon guy Crispy or something?

Codexers, and boomer gamers in general, have a real problem with sacred cows: things that formed such a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. part of their idealized childhoods that they can never be criticized. And one of the greatest of these is Fallout. These manchildren scream and cry about Bethesda raping this treasured classic by making games that millions of people enjoy instead of an exclusive club of neckbeards, but anyone who first plays the original Fallout as an adult will realize something: it just isn't that good.
Let's start with the setting: it's completely unremarkable. There was a nuclear war, now everywhere is a desert and there's raiders and mutants and all that other shit you've seen before. Oh, but this time there's le retro future aesthetic! Whatever, that's barely there in the older games despite being the one thing Bethesda really latched on to. They also chose the worst possible time for their post-apocalypse. A post-apoc setting should either have it so recently in the past that there are still people who lived through it and can talk about the world that was and what they lost when it ended, or so distant that the pre-war world has an air of mystery to it. Fallout is set just late enough that everyone grew up in a shitty wasteland, but not so late that going into the ruins of the old world has an exploring the unknown feel to it.
"Oh," you're saying. "You're just a STORYFAG who actually cares about setting and shit instead of playing just to watch things get hit and numbers come out of them." Well, the combat in Fallout is a dog's breakfast. Turn based combat (and that's a subject for another rant) only works at all when you've got multi-character parties. In a single-character game, it means a whole lot of waiting for all the shitty scorpions or whatever to make their agonizingly slow moves before you can have any input again. The only reason anyone thinks Fallout's combat is good is that they played it when they were 13 and thought the death animations were super kewl.
"B-b-but", you're saying, with an increasingly flustered expression. "The real strength of Fallout is that it gives you so many different ways to approach problems!". Well, yeah. You can sneak around enemies and never fight anyone...if you're a faggot. You can talk the final boss into killing himself...again, if you're a faggot. But let's be real. The Chad goes in guns blazing, the virgin fucks around with stealth and shit because he thinks it means he's smarter than the people who play games to, you know, have fun.
So, yeah. You're frothing with rage right now because your worldview has been shattered by someone telling you that something you like isn't as good as you think it is. Like and subscribe and maybe if you're lucky I'll do more of these in the future.
JA2 requires you to liberate the towns with combat first.Jagged Alliance 2 *may* be better at most(all? ) of that. And even has the best combat to boot.Can someone please explain to me what it is that Fallout does and why it does it better than any other RPG?

Have you tried the Stygian demo?This is without a doubt a mayor shining point, always loved how you can get descriptions of pretty much everything on screen. I have long since given up on any game doing it like that instead of a few "hotspots" here and there.
Let me introduce you to an entire series called Quest for Glory...Do you know that feature when you play Fallout 1/2 where, if you right-click on objects on screen like NPCs and environment, you get to choose from a list what kind of interaction you want to do with them? That, is one of them. Not only does Fallout did it *best*, it's practically the ONLY RPG that did it as far as I know.
Together with pathetic squealing that every successful person is responsible for his failures in life, and that introducing socialism is the only way to fix it. If we ignore the buzzing, the fly might just go away.Night Goat defected to Discord (lol the "Codex" version of Discord) a while ago and any time I ask him about coming back to Codex he and everyone else there, in unison and in perfect harmony, start chanting "FUCK CODEX".

You can right-click on objects on screen and choose from a list what kind of interaction you want to do with said object? If yes, that's nice.
