Eh, I doubt it, because it didn’t seem like I was seeing too few. They came at an appropriate clip, and the second game even gives you a car to see fewer of them after the halfway point.
Your doubt isn’t a factor, it’s just how the game works. Unless both 10 years ago and 1 year ago you replayed them on a computer from the late 90’s, you didn’t get as many random events as were intended. The very fact that you think random events were such a small part of those games also confirms you weren’t getting as many as you were supposed to lol.
Show me a video of a normal encounter rate from the 90s, and I’ll tell you how my experience compared.
EDIT: A casual search sure makes it sound like you’re the one who had the atypical experience, seeing far too many random encounters. And that makes a ton of sense, because my random encounter rate was very much in line with the classic Baldur’s Gates and the modern Wastelands; random encounters are supposed to be a risk, not a guaranteed occurrence that happens 20 times between each town. I played the fixed-up GOG versions of the games, and I’d recommend them to you.
How long ago did you play Fallout 1 and 2?
Fallout 1 about 10 years ago. Fallout 2 about a year ago.
That’s why lol. The random events were tied to your cpu speed, and with faster more modern processors you wouldn’t see nearly as many random events.
