Yes, Fallout is primarily considered a role-playing game (RPG) series, though its gameplay has evolved across different entries. Heres a breakdown: RPG Elements in Fallout Games: Character Creation & Progression: - Customizable stats (SPECIAL system: Strength, Perception, etc.). - Skills (e.g., Lockpick, Speech, Guns) and Perks (unique abilities). - Leveling up to improve your character. Choice & Consequences: - Dialogue options (often skill-dependent). - Moral decisions affecting factions, quests, and endings. - Multiple ways to solve quests (combat, stealth, diplomacy). Exploration & Worldbuilding: - Open-world (or semi-open) environments with lore-rich locations. - Side quests, NPC interactions, and faction reputations. Turn-Based Origins: - The first two games (Fallout 1 & 2, 19971998) were isometric, turn-based RPGs inspired by Wasteland. Evolution of Gameplay: Fallout 3 (2008) & Fallout: New Vegas (2010): Shifted to first/third-person real-time combat but retained deep RPG mechanics (Bethesda/Obsidian). Fallout 4 (2015): Streamlined RPG elements (e.g., voiced protagonist, simplified dialogue), leaning into action but still an RPG. Fallout 76 (2018): Online multiplayer with RPG systems, though initially lighter on narrative depth. Spin-Offs & Exceptions: Fallout Shelter (2015): A mobile/base-management sim (not an RPG). Fallout Tactics (2001): A squad-based tactical game with RPG elements. Verdict: The core Fallout series (1, 2, 3, New Vegas, 4) are RPGs, blending storytelling, stats, and player agency. Later entries incorporate more action/shooter elements but still fit within the RPG genre. If you love RPGs for choices, progression, and immersion, Fallout deliversespecially the classics and New Vegas. Would you like recommendations based on your RPG preferences?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
