Fallout (video game)

Interplay · 1997

Fallout (1997) is a foundational CRPG built on rigid arithmetic and player-driven consequence. Its design refuses abstraction: if your Luck is six, you fail 40% of critical rolls. If your Speech is 65%, you unlock one branch—not all. It does not ask you to believe. It asks you to calculate.
