Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics for free on GOG!

What it says on the tin.
Promo lasts about one more day. The servers are overloaded atm, so you may have to try a few times before you get it.

Oh man, thanks for letting us know. At least one of those is one of the best games of all time, yet I never got around to buying any of them~

Yeah it loads painfully slow and already wiped my order at checkout once.

I Have the first 2 in hardcopy but I wouldn't mind backups and a copy of Tactics.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Thanks for the report, while i have already Fallout 1&2 since a decade (both were and still are very excellent games) i never got to try Tactics.

For Fallout 1, be sure to get the mod FIXIT that fixes many unfinished stuff

For Fallout 2, the restoration patch is a must too that does the bug fixing too and more :
