I agree. I loved these games to death, and still play them a lot these days 
(though Fallout II tends to drag the first hour or so you play it...once 
you're into it, though...no hope of leaving). I always thought that these 
games captured much of the feel of HoE...

Ack. SS 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. As classic as the first

Even though I was never a fan of White Wolf related stuff, I thought this 
game looked neat...until I actually saw someone play it. Woof.
