(Actually I think I said five, which means I fell for the one-penny-less trick. CURSE YOU MARKETING!) I already owned the game, but I had problems installing it.  Rather than muck about looking for workarounds I just bought it again.  The version on sale at GoG didn&#8217;t have any of the old legacy issues. Plus, it came with:<\/p>\n<p>* A PDF of the manual.<br \/>\n* The Fallout Bible. (Which, to be fair, is available for <a href=\"http:\/\/fallout.wikia.com\/wiki\/Fallout_Bible\">free<\/a>.  So don&#8217;t go running off to buy the game if that&#8217;s all you want.)<br \/>\n* The original soundtrack<br \/>\n* The in-game soundtrack? Which is different in some way I assume?<br \/>\n* A smattering of other loose items like wallpapers and such.<br \/>\n* The game.  A rather important item, that. It should work on your fancy new future computer.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t come with any DRM though, so you&#8217;ll have to provide that yourself. I&#8217;ve been forcing myself to find a random CD and put it in the drive when I want to play so I don&#8217;t feel like a criminal.  Maybe if you&#8217;re using a laptop you can just refuse to play when you don&#8217;t have a net connection? <\/p>\n<p>I found The Pitt hard to deconstruct because I haven&#8217;t played it myself. We were sent by Werner to free slaves, but the guy who sent us was talking about smuggling in a weapon.  So was getting captured part of the plan? And what are we supposed to be doing?  In this episode we gathered ingots and then fought in the arena for our freedom, but I wasn&#8217;t clear on what that was leading to.  I guess it will be revealed when we get to Asher, but at this point I have no idea what Werner was expecting us to do in here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, person from the future.
