I've gotta say, the OG combat armor really nails the whole 'retrofuture' style, I think I've just got a fondness for the grit of Adamowicz' designs. And honestly, who doesn't love the NCR Veteran Ranger armor, I had to stop myself from using it as the image just to not taint the discussion.
Truly, I don't think the designs of the Advanced Power Armor and the M72 Gauss Rifle will ever leave my mind. It's a real shame we won't get to see that style again as the series continues.
It's hard to describe how formative the theme of progress between the west coast games was to my interests, which is something the east coast games sorely lack. There's a little hope though that the new TV show could give closure, if nothing else for the west. (Even with it's own questionable choices.)
Shortly after the release of the TV show I realized that Fallout won't ever be what I hoped for again, and I've made my peace with the fact that it's going in it's own direction now. But I'd be damned if I didn't still yearn for what those older games had. Still haven't found something to fill that void. (Though a copious Fallout modding hobby certainly has helped me see a Fallout with some of those problems resolved.)
good call; I've got a few of them hidden away in my library, but haven't yet given them a proper go. I think I will, thanks.
