Cabal 2 vs Fallout
Cabal 2
Cabal 2 , developed by ESTsoft Corp, is a rather underrated MMORPG. This is mainly because the game has a storyline that's as immersive and rich as Skyforge or Revelation Online, a stunning open world known as Ektensia for you to explore as you wish, various character classes to play as, and excitingly fast-paced and skill-based combat to master. There are plenty of challenging dungeons, instances, and even, for the PvP-inclined, battlefields for you to test your mettle in, as well as a fun yet in-depth crafting system to take advantage of.Cabal 2 may not be on everyone's lips unlike hugely popular MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, but the game is incredibly well-made and enjoyable to play. The only thing it sorely lacks is a massive player population and well... by playing this game or at least try it out, you'll be helping to rectify this issue.
Fallout
Fallout is world's first post-apocalyptic-themed open world RPG where your decisions and actions actually matter. Although your choices will not change the entire world, it will affect your relationship with the many NPCs in the game. In addition, Fallout made the Hall of Fame when it comes to RPGs due to its incredibly immersive storyline, which is written as you venture out into post-fallout wasteland, meeting people trying to eke out a living as well as hostile enemies (some are also mutated to a certain degree) alike.It's also interesting to note that the game has a really simple S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats system, which consists of (obviously) 7 stats, and a skills system, consisting of 8 unqiue skills, that you can access via your unique PipBoy interface. Naturally, your skill proficiency is determined by the amount of points you invest in them, so basically, you can still use the skills you have despite having just 1 point in it, but the chances of success will be incredibly low. It's not possible to be proficient in all of the skills, so you'll need to decide which skills you use the most.
The Fallout series is perhaps one of the largest franchise to date and it has evolved so much since its conception, but the success that it has enjoyed can be attributed to the groundwork laid by this very first game. In fact, many games owed their open world, decision-driven origins - like many shooters that are associated however remotely to Doom - to Fallout. It may be a classic now but it was a revolutionary game of its time.
But the most interesting thing is that the game is still fun to play. If you love the latest Fallout and have never minded old-school games and their graphics, you should definitely check this game out. It'll blow your mind!
