Good old RPGs, which one?

Im either getting the fallout collection pack (fallout 1,2 and tactics) OR the baldur's gate 2 collection pack (amn and bhaal). In your opinion, which package should y buy? Which one will last me longer and overall will be a better experience? Thanks in advance.Good old RPGs, which one?
I would prefer the Fallout collection instead of the BG2 pack. I think Fallout 2 is one of the best RPGs ever - better than BG2 - but not everyone will enjoy it... If you want BG2, there are far better 'packs' out there - like the Baldurs Gate collection (all BG games) or the Forgotten Realsm Deluxe pack (all BG, Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights 1 games).Good old RPGs, which one?
I personally like BG2 + xp more, but Fallout is also excellent.I'd recommend forgotten realms pack (BG1 and 2 + both XP, NWN and ID1 and 2. Lot of value in that pack =).Seriously get both though, they are both cheap and well worth the money as long as you don't mind the graphics.
dude, this is a no-brainer - GET THEM BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, BG2 is without a doubt my favorite game of all time, but I will stab you if you do not play Fallout. How's that?



Translation: Get them both. :)
P.S.: I've the same BG2 package as the one you describe, I never played BG1 before I got 2, and trust when I say this: You don't need to have played BG1 to enjoy 2. Although BG1 is totally spoiled the moment you start up 2, but when I played 1 some time later it was still good fun. So ideally I would recommend actually going for Fallout first and try to get your hands on BG1 first, but you really don't have to.

Edit: P.S.2: Why the hell are you guys comparing BG with IWD and NWN, they're totally different games. IWD is an action game/ dungeon crawler whatever you wanna call it. And NWN's combination of multiplayer and toolset will launch you into the moon, they're that good.

I would prefer Fallout and Fallout 2 over Baldur's Gate. Though if you can manage it... like everyone has said, get them both.
If you're going to get Baldur's Gate 2, get the larger pack that contains the original and expansion, and then 2 and the expansion. I can't tell you how many times I've replayed those games.Definitely get both, but if you can only get one, get Baldur's Gate.
Both are exceptional, and you should get both. If I have to choose; Baldur's Gate. That is the standard by which I judge all RPGs.
The Fallout Series definately.Also look into getting Planescape:Torment, great dialog, good storyline, fun combat.
Fallout
i'd give Fallout a slight edge over BG.but if you're really interested in a great RPG in that vein..Planescape:Torment trumps them both imo

[/QUOTE]Thirded.But I prefer Fallout.[/QUOTE]fourthedbut if notim thinking BG cause fall out 3 is coming out(in a while) and shouldnt let down. and why not play the newest in the series. But they are both awesome games. either one isnt going to let you down(i hope)
[QUOTE=''wheezal'']but if you're really interested in a great RPG in that vein..Planescape:Torment trumps them both imo [/QUOTE]Well...yeah, I'd probably take Torment over both the Fallout series and the Baldurs Gate series, but that wasn't an option.Still, if the TC can find it, he should buy it.
Man, those are all extremely classic and respected RPGs.

Fallout - the game that singlehandedly revived the RPG genre when it came out. It's a ****c in the best sense of the word. Great voice acting, and amazingly good storyline (unique!) and surprisingly deep despite its tongue in cheek ****Planescape: Torment - some call it the best role playing game ever designed ... if you like the dungeons and dragons ****of RPG. It may be heavy on the text and light on the voice acting, but it is one of the deepest and even philosophical RPGs out there. I still play it when I'm in the mood for some deep thought. And the ending left me sitting in thought even while the credits rolled. The only game to date that did that to me.Baldur's Gate: it's a romp. I don't think it's as deep as PS:T but it's definately a lot of fun. If you like spending hours and hours having tons of fun slaying monsters, getting awesome gear, and also getting some RPGing in there as well, this is the game for you!
Where are you getting the Fallout Collection Pack? I think I want to get it.
[QUOTE=''visceron'']Where are you getting the Fallout Collection Pack? I think I want to get it.[/QUOTE]you can find it on amazon via online sellers. just search for fallout. it should be $15 or so.
I like a post-apocalyptic world more than I do a fantasy world so my choice would be Fallout. Having said that I still spent way too much time listening to Minsc and Boo.So get them both if possible if not choose Fallout if you prefer firearms like me.
