I love Fallout, exspecially Fallout 2.  I bought Fallout 2 because I play Fallout and loved it.  If you've played Fallout before Fallout 2 you'll find that Fallout 2 is a lot more discouraging.  It's a lot harder to  develop a new character.  You'll never reach a point where you're immortal  (eg. you can kill anything with ease).  But anyway Fallout 2 is still  great.  I let my friend play Fallout 2 and he had a sleepover at my house  just so he could play Fallout 2.  Everyone I know loves Fallout 2.
