Are posts about games that are heavily inspired by Fallout allowed in this community? By that I mean games like Atom RPG or Space Wreck.

Also, any recommended mods for the OG two Fallouts? I’ve heard of 1.5 but I haven’t got into mods for them yet.

    I like The Outer Worlds a bunch, but I do think it’s something of a disservice to think of it as “Fallout in Space”.

    I know the marketing pushed the Fallout New Vegas connection really hard, but that’s marketing.

    It has a lot of similar sensibilities, given the shared creative team but it’s really its own thing. Even in terms of overall world structure it’s more like a BioWare RPG than a modern Fallout. Combat really has the Tim Cain sensibility of balance where the rules do feel like trying hard to translate a tabletop system into a game and a design looking for tradeoffs as opposed to full on player empowerment.
