Is it still worth playing?

Black Isle Studios' 1998 role playing game for Windows, set in 2241, about 80 years after the first game. You are the grandchild of the first game's protagonist and must save a small West Coast village during a drought. Combat is turn based with action points, and you build a character from seven SPECIAL stats, 18 skills, up to two traits and 69 standard perks. There are fourteen recruitable companions, and faction reputation works beside karma. Many quests can be solved through diplomacy, combat or stealth. It was one of the first games to feature same sex marriage. There are so many branching paths that it takes a long time to see everything, which is the reason to play it now.
